General Problems > Pie Update - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

So to start things out my phone was working quite well on Oreo. I kept trying to postpone the update and eventually it auto started the update; without my permission, because I was connected to Wi-Fi after postponing the update about 3 times. Needless to say, immediately after the update my phone started to act what it seems like borked out completely. To further explain my issues ill attach a few screenies as well.
(Issue #1)
The phone is connected to the towers, however even though I can send texts and calls I have no "service" and cant use the internet at all, i.e internet browser, YouTube, Instagram, Pandora, etc... nothing loads at all it will simply say no connection in gray at the bottom of the screen. YouTube just has the circle buffer constantly, Pandora says buffering and will never load, Instagram just says couldn't refresh feed. Google maps will go into offline mode and wont ever reconnect back. Again all of this happens within 20mins or ~3 hours after the phone turns on and only solution is to restart phone. This is also not network related because even under Wi-Fi all issues are still present. Going into airplane mode and turning it on/off does nothing. ONLY a restart or power off/on fixes the issue.
(Issue #2)
Wi-Fi doesn't auto connect even though the option is on.... every-time I have to go into settings and manually click it, not a big problem but why?

Try rebooting into recovery and clearing cache. If that doesn't fix it, try a factory reset.

okay will do! I have also noticed my 3rd issue with the device is YouTube will also randomly just pause, even though it didn't need to buffer or anything like that. its as if I hit the screen to pause it even though I didn't do that.

I've been running Pie since the betas, and am now on CSAA and I don't have any of those issues. Hopefully a factory reset fixes it all for you.

Any update on the issue OP?
I am also on Pie view firmware science and haven't experienced any of those symptoms. For me, only 2 other hiccups where my video on my lock screen somehow flipped upside down randomly and the 2nd i lost my customized notification bar icons via swift installer.

FRF91 update is buggy

After updating to FRF91, I notice two things.
1) My phone froze at least 3 times since the update when I tried to make a phone call. I had to remove the battery and restart it.
2) My calls are now less clear even with my blue-tooth. When I call someone, they and I will hear static. Sometimes the static is really bad. (no, I am not holding it the wrong way )
Anyone have similar issues?
My Nexus One is NOT rooted.
stock 2.1 to FRF50(manual install)->FRF83(manual install)->FRF91(OTA install)
No issues here. Clean install.
I would agree it seems buggy to me also; it could be the manual update path of updating, but im def getting some wonkyness.
When im on edge at my house, it always seems like WIFI is on demand and not connected (This differs from what my phone used to do and i also have wifi to never sleep); so when i try to access something intially i get a network error then the Wifi connects; then i connect even though im on edge which used to connect albeit slow.
A slight jerkiness when I longpress to remove widgets; don't remember that one previously.
Very erratic battery life; seems to be due to network switching from 3g to edge to wifi; can't really confirm that though; not real rogue apps on my device that are running, but who knows.
Car dock has been giving some force close issues from time to time which didn't really occur previously.
FRF83 more stable
I was thinking of trying to go back to FRF83 as that seems more stable.
I will first try to do a factory reset and see what happens after that.

let me know how that works out; I may do the same. Maybe go back and ota update.
I applied the full FRF85B when I did mine, and wiped cache / format user data from the boot loader. That cleared up issues.
gmail stopped working properly for me.
I have had some issues with my phone freezing up too but my trackball would still flash when i got alerts. I think it might be related to trackball alert because now that I have uninstalled it i haven't gotten any freezes.
I did the factory reset and I no longer have any problems. I am still waiting to see if my dialing still freezes randomly though.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I'm still on frf83 and found that flashing the frf91 gapps has somewhat reduced the freezes/reboots.
My XDA app freezes for a couple of seconds before it responds. Is this app up to date for frf91?

1. Going into Gmail it takes forever to display emails (usually shows the "loading icon" for 10-20 seconds) as if it is only then connecting to the server and downloading new/old emails.
2. Caller ID still does not keep settings when rebooting.
3. Task Managers don't actually seem to kill tasks anymore. Have tried multiple with settings to auto-kill 10 minutes after the screen goes off ... 5 hours later the programs are still running. Obviously just KILLS battery life.

Yeah, obviously, you're using auto-kill, it probably tries over and over and over when they don't actually close.
Stop using auto-kill. Even if it worked you will get less battery life by killing tasks. Read up about it. Only reason to EVER kill something is if it isn't acting nicely and has a bug that keeps using CPU or keeps the phone awake.
Factory Reset works almost all the time
If you got problems after update you should allways wipe (factory reset)

WiFi Problems?

I've got this problem with WiFi. At times, when I enable it, the phone slows down a lot, and opening apps take longer than usual. There's also visible slowness when moving around homescreens.
Also, at this point I can't see to turn off WIFI. from both, power toggles and from Settings. It just hangs there and sometimes crashes, otherwise, it takes a few minutes before it gets disconnected, after which the slowness is gone. Does anyone else have this problem ? And were you able to fix it ?

Are you running the stock rom? I had that happen with tunesync once but you didn't mention using that, have you tried doing a factory reset?

Yes I'm running the stock ROM (for now ). I never used tunesync so its not that. I thought about a factory reset but thought I'd hold onto that thought in case someone else had a fix for it

[Q] Unknown App Flashing When Toggling Wifi

Last night I was at home and noticed my wifi wasn't on, so I used the quick settings in the shade to toggle it. After a few seconds, wifi connected, and some unknown app took focus and closed repeatedly. After a few moments, it stopped and all was well.
I thought it was strange, so I turned wifi back off and the same thing happened. I rebooted, tried again, and got the same result. I was trying to think of a way to see what was happening, so I tried using the Screen Record function in Gravity Box, which didn't help much, because it happens so fast, and no info is displayed, just a black window that goes away quickly.
I then turned on the CPU usage in Developer Options to see if anything consistently came to the top when toggling. I saw a few apps each time Plume (Twitter), and Maildroid (email) were two of them. Both of these apps behave differently on wifi and 3G/4G (push vs. pull), so thought -maybe- it could be something with that. I uninstalled both of those, rebooted and tried again, getting the same result.
I recorded the screen when this was happening with the CPU usage displayed, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas? I don't really want to uninstall and reinstall EVERY app on my phone, so I was hoping someone may have seen this before or see something I'm missing when watching it happen.

Thanks for any input anyone can offer!
Do you check virus from your phone ?
I am also having this, seems to be due to 4.4.2 OTA, which I continue to delay as I am rooted.
Mine doens't only happen with wifi change, but also just randomly when using hangouts, keyboard stays out but hangouts min -> maxes quickly. I have tried freezing the update apps but it apparently didn't do anything as I was still asked to update earlier.
Only hangouts? I have that app disabled.in the app settings.
I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.

Frequent System UI freezing?

Hi Everyone,
It has been going on for roughly a year now, while I'm using my phone it suddenly just freezes entirely. Touchscreen just becomes unresponsive, can't tap on anything, gestures don't work and notification bar can't be pulled down.
Physical buttons does not seem to be affected, even if my screen is totally frozen I can still adjust volume levels and I can lock the phone via the power button. After locking and unlocking my phone, everything goes back to normal, touch responsiveness comes back and starts working as it should till the next hiccup.
It happens frequently, there are times when the screen locks up 2 or 3 times in a 10 minute period window. Every time this happens, I need to lock and unlock my phone and it starts working again.
Also it doesn't seem like a specific application is doing it, it happens when I'm browsing websites via Google Chrome, it happens with Amazon App, Messenger, Google Play Store, even on the Google News feed.
It gets more and more annoying as time goes by and it still hasn't been fixed.
I have been in contact with Google Support in the beginning when it started, but all they suggested is that I should do a Factory Reset (which I did).
Has anyone else experienced this issue or is it just my device doing this?
PS.: My phone is fully stock, hasn't been messed around.
Any physical damage to the device? & Have you tried checking if the issue occurs in safe mode too? If it is caused by a 3rd party or background app it wont replicate in safe mode.
Scan with Malwarebytes.
Try clearing system cache.
Try safe mode and a hard reboot.
That qualifies for erratic behavior and may be the only sign of a virus or trojan you'll see... at first.
Either way you could be headed for a boot loop.
Regardless even if Malwarebytes finds nothing it's factory reset time. Nuke it; a trojan can do a lot of damage to you in a short amount of time.
After the reload change your Google password.
Before you load -anything- make sure the issue is gone!
If it persists it's either a firmware or more likely a hardware failure.

Question Spotify is acting odd

This might be the app itself but I didn't have any issue on my S20. Since I updated the phone it randomly cuts out. Any ideas? Never on WiFi though...

Is it when the screen is off? Check it's not been put to sleep in battery settings
it seems that latest ROM updates (I think I have this on all AUB* ones) is weirdly strict on background activities and cuts every one of them. my whole device acts strangely - apps not showing notification or showing them late (hours later than they were supposed to show), my apps are not updating: I have to repeatedly FC play store, then clear its cache so that currently installing app changes state from downloading to installing, than do it again to change state fomr installing to installed etc. worked fine on AUA* ones. it is really annoying. btw I tried to clear cache and dalvik/art cache from recovery, but that did not help. I have not tried factory seset yet...
It seems that it was data corruption during regular OTA. Factory reset seems to fix problems for me.
I'll try a reset.. thankyou
Let's be honest, the Spotify app has issues too begin with. On my S21 and Pixel 4 it can be playing songs to my earbuds then suddenly stop running in the background on its own! Unlock the phone and itis still open in the foreground.
Perhaps it's time for a new music app if this is a known Spotify issue... But if it's not a Spotify issue, then check in your battery settings (as others have mentioned) to see if your phone automatically started putting it into "Sleep Mode".
