So, September 2019 Update N960FXXS2ARH6 is out.. - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Anyone got this update yet? Anyone notice any improvements?
EDIT: 2018 not 2019 LOL

Not yet, but it's only a security update.

I got it a few days ago, didnt really notice any improvement anywhere, but there isnt really anything to improve anyway in the first place (for me atleast)

damn, guess we have to wait for another month to get any internal fixes. Using an Exynos variant and battery life hasnt been great

Just got it. Had to manually look for an update and it was ready to download.
BTW, new build seems to fix the camera lockup!

It does feel better in battery. After a day of constant use my battery is at a higher level than in the past few days.

Small caveat. Saw this in the other thread and tested it... pro mode is still laggy. Auto is smooth now at least

ARH6 is for Verizon. Saw a post about it just now.

After getting this OTA my battery life is horrid and seems to lose 1 percent every hour just sleeping. I also don't seem to have any new wakelocks. I tried clearing cache from recovery, clearing cache for google services, checking settings ect. Anyone else experiencing this?

well i dont expect android wear 2 anytime sooner. because its still in preview version available for limited models. So there will not be any ota update.
Got to admit.. I didn't get a little excited as this thing has sucked lately

The update bricked my watch. I noticed it wasn't connecting with my phone so I reset device. Now it won't boot beyond the LG logo. Accessing the recovery mode of the bootloader did nothing. Still progressed to the logo and then died.
I received update too, installed it successfully, I feel watch smoother but I don't know if it is due to cleaned cache etc.

does your watch power-off when the weather is getting warm? mine was like that. I took it to the LG repair center and they replaced the body.

No July update?

Is there no July update? Thought updates were released on the first monday of the month, but still no update for July
I know tomorrow it is fourth of July and a holiday in the USA but what about today? Everything closed as well?

That could also be an option. But none of the supported devices have a July update. So guess that isnt the case.
I think they maybe not working today. Just a few more months and then the monthly wait for a update is over..then no more official updates for the nexus 6

Yes. the last update will be in October.
Every update I've compared the new system files with the previous version. Only a few files changed.
No updates ..... it's the start of a quiet period.
Time to give a look to a new device. I am keeping an eye on the Plus One 5.

Are you serious? I doubt most businesses are giving their employees 2 paid days off for Independence Day. Some may be but saying most is quite a stretch.

I sold my Nexus 6 a few days ago. Still a good phone but time has passed it by. Need to move up to a newer, 64 bit device. Waiting to see what my next phone will be. RIP Shamu.

Since decryption and debloating it's a very fast phone. Will keep it a while.
The only disadvantage is the round back. On table/desk, input is not easy when the phone is spinning.

No any better stereospeakers yet B)
OP5 is sexy but still not worth
The only disadvantage imho is the soon no longer software support, but I don't really know what it really involves as security patches are not quite safer. (critical breaches will always be updated as XP was with wannacry)

Never had a problem with the round back. Using a case and always lay it on table on its front, since the case is closed no problm with scratches on the screen.
Phone is debloated too. But even without debloating it runs fine and for me fast enough.
Think it is usually about the 5 or 6 th of month released if any.
July update is live now for nexus 6.
Got it! sideloaded ...............okay so far
same bootloader and radio.
just sideloaded the OTA
N6F27H
Anyone notice anything really different in this release? Or just the security update?

An update on the new version, my first attempt at flashing N6F27H from the Factory Image (not OTA) ended up with the CPU running at 100% nearly all of the time with no Deep Sleep seen. I just reflashed the Factory Image for N6F27H again and I'll update whether the results are the same or better this time.

Ahh! But 2 days ago I had done a software update which was around 500mb. I thought that must be the December Security Patch. So getting a 800mb update just after the earlier update made me a bit happy that I was finally getting Oreo ahaha. But I guess..Samsung..? Always late in Upgrades.

September update

Just got the September update! It says "This update improves the stability of your device and optimizes its performance." Let's see if it solves any of the issued we've been having!

Didn't work for me. I am trying now with unpatched boot image
For those asking about updates with rooted / unlocked devices;
I'm pretty sure that you can download the update ota. But if 'system' on your phone has been modified, it won't install. Let us know. Do you have systemless root? From what I read the update should install then.

Edit: Nope. Guess I'll do a factory reset later as magisk manager stopped worked a few days ago as well. Something is fishy

Couldn't really do much testing, but from the little I've used the phone since the update it does look like adaptive brightness is working (at least as good as any other stock Android phone I've used recently).

Idk if im paying 250 euro for a phone I demand a good working phone able to do basic needs . Taking ages to write a file and dying after 2.5 hours SoT imo is not acceptable. this is just poor quality control. The average user is not able to mess around with kernel auditor , proximity calibration and what not

Sorry to disagree, but this bug of max frequencies, affecting some and not others, is one of the most importance bug to solve or saing something about, because users are confused without knowing if their new phone has a hardware issue or not, to be return.
They had their chance to solve this in this patch if really was a software issue, now im not sure of that.
By the end of today, Xiaomi will lose a lot of A2 users.
