Hello there,
I'm still on Android Oreo 8.1 with my Note9, so after the April update, is it worth upgrading to Pie yet?
'Cause up to this point I've been seeing more negative feedback than positive, but with that new update it seems more people are liking it.
Thanks in advance.
It's up to you, there are certainly people who dislike One UI but I'm certain that the majority will prefer it over TW Oreo. Personally I think it's a big upgrade and there is zero chance I'd go back to Oreo, other than AOSP.
Yes you should. Always try to find solutions and tweaks over latest updates. If that doesn't work, then consider downgrade. I think there are more pros than cons considering Android upgrade.

Brand new OP 3T. Should I do the upgrade? Does it bring in improvements enough to upgrade?
Not planning on upgrading to Nougat anytime soon, will wait for OP to fix all bugs.

Yes, definitely. And then upgrade to Nougat. Nougat is much better than OOS 3.5 in my experience. It has better battery life, it is smoother and has less bugs.
Also you are putting yourself in a risk when not upgrading to the latest version. Nougat contains important security fixes.
3.5.4 has been having some issues, regarding Bluetooth for example.
Nougat appears to be bug-free based on forum posts.

I dunno, if you read the Oneplus forums it seems nougat is riddled with bugs. I'm probably gonna wait till the next maintenance release before I update.

I'm new to the OnePlus scene, but one thing I learned very quickly is to prefer the XDA Forum to the OnePlus one. Not that one is better that the other, but the opinions and the users here are a lot more informed and experienced.
Regarding Nougat, no problems on mt end. Clean install a couple of hours ago - with the help of Michalko5896
I just got a new OnePlus 3t, and was wondering if it is worth updating to 4.0.3. I've been hearing a lot of people have issues with the battery life, the sliders, etc. With these in mind, is it worth updating to 4.0.3 or should I stay on 3.5.4?

I am on 7.1.1 beta and don't have any issues
Depends on what you intend to use your phone for. The biggest reason to stay on OOS 3.x would be for Xposed. I personally have not noticed any issues with OOS 4.x though.
guys i have bought a new one plus 3t device and its running mm 6.0.1
should i update to oos 4.1.6
is it better in terms of battery life and performance
p.s i do not intend to root or install any custom.rom right now and want to stick to oos for now
my basic requirements are good batter life and stability
So basically you are wondering if Android 7.x is better than Android 6.x ?
Well I guess the point is quite obvious.
Or why did you bother buying a new phone?

Everyone is going to have a different experience with battery life and performance. Of course, the intent with each update, is to improve these thing (although it doesn't always work out this way) as well as increased features and security.
4.1.6 is running great for me.

thnx for the info
feeling positive about upgrading now
OOS 4.1.6 is great imho. No issues so far, I couldn't go back to MM. People sometimes have issues because they flash updates over updates without wipe, and sometimes the phone may need it.
Since your device is brand new and you don't have a lot a data on it yet, I strongly advice you to update your phone to 4.1.6 and then to reset it (data and settings). This way you'll get a clean, fresh and proper update to use your new phone on Nougat in best conditions possible.

4.1.6 It's not an early update, it's not a beta rom.
It's a stable rom officially released.
Regarding battery there are dozen of complaints, but also many users who don't have an issue.
So, you can't really make up your mind just by reading on the comments of other users.

Hello!!!
I did not update myself to Pie. I tried to let me know from this forum first about any bugs or problems, but the opinions are divided. I do not have the smallest problem with Oreo and the battery autonomy is enviable. I would be sorry for such a major update to be problematic for Note9, a phone that works impeccably with Oreo. What experience do you have with Pie compared to Oreo and eventually deserves this update or expect to see better versions.
Thank you!!!

There's several threads already for this. Here's the two main ones:
Exynos N960F: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/galaxy-note-9-android-9-pie-beta-t3870521

I have the exynos model. I mostly read the topic, some satisfied, some less, some had a bug, others had another considering that they were beta versions. I was interested in the experience after a time of using a final version. That opened and thead for downgrade. So there are still problems. Thanks for the answer!
I used all of the Beta updates and have been on the final update since release and it's been pretty good (For software made by Samsung) so far. For every 1 person complaining about One UI, there is probably 100 happy users.
The only bad thing for me is the fact they took the extra volume button on the call menu... And when getting a call and when speaking in loudspeaker the sound does not come from the top speaker.. So you kind need the extra sound boost...
Been using pie since my Pixel 2 XL and now on my Note 9! Wouldn't be with out pie!
Anybody familiar with Huawei own OS.
Seeing reviews seems to be better faster and smoother then Android.
Will we have to upgrade to that OS or chance phones ?
No one can be certain about the future. Their is could be faster...or maybe not that noticeable. The very few who actually saw and work with their beta are not saying much. But the devices released already will keep working with android and will receive security updates through their life. For the future devices...no one can tell you for sure.
