Got A New Update This Morning - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

So far, looks like a security update. Haven't seen anything new or unusual yet, but it's only been a few minutes.
Anyone else received this?

That font size is enormous.
Maybe OP has really bad eyesight.
Like, so bad that he cannot see how ugly it looks!

Naw, just never followed the crowd, or really cared about what people thought about me. I do me.
Also, I change wallpapers and fonts every other day or so. That's why I love Android. My phone can look different every day if I want.

It's not that bad[emoji106]

That is strange... I have never seen a update display look like that for a Samsung device.

Carriers have a custom update menus this one is Verizon I believe some even force updates after being postponed several times.

So, September 2019 Update N960FXXS2ARH6 is out..

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)

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?

Phantom notification

On Pie and November update sideloaded. Using Nova launcher
Have started getting phantom notifications. The phone vibrated, lock screen lights up but nothing there.
Have done a reset as always do after update.
Any ideas?
WiFi lost connection on second, phone track and send you notification but nothing appears...

Good spot. Hopefully that's it.
That was it. Periodical notifications in ambient display. Crazy
You sideload an update that Nokia pulled out because have serious problems so expect this kind of behaviour!

"This kind of behaviour".....the type of behaviour standard in Pie you mean? It's not a bug just a stupid place to put the settings.
And as for the serious problem! How was it serious where the latest update is 1:1 identical to the one I sideloaded and some people got as standard??????

Ask Nokia then, i only got the service update, so something is going on there. They have pulled the update because problems, now they are sending it again wich have no sense at all and now they are sending also another update only with security update. I don't know. Happy anyway that is not a bug!

I've stopped trying to work out what they are doing. Shame really as it's a good phone. Unless they sort this update stupidity this will be my last Nokia.

You are right. It makes no sense what they do with the updates. Being late, I can understand that, but having 3 different versions of updates for the same phone is crazy (it is kind of the same thing of what they do with the phones versioning numbers: 7, 7+, 7.1, 7x and now 8 which is actually 8.1 - mad)
Anyway it looks like their focus is on releasing more phones than optimize the released ones. I think in the 2 years they were banned from releasing phones after the transfer from Microsoft, they developed the phones and they are releasing them now every 2nd month.
Sorry for the long post, I had to let out some of the steam.
Seems a common feeling with most Nokia users.
Something that baffles me is that the media such as android authority and others keep praising the company and recommending them as superb phones. That bit is true but nobody seems to be picking up that it's not really Android One without regular updates.
Anyway, I'm ranting now. Maybe we need a ranting thread. :silly:

That is s great idea!
I think we all feel a little bit cheated. Thinking at it though, it is only the Pixels and Essential phone (don't think OnePlus has it) that have November security patch.
And the phone is a very good one (hardware at least).
This is it. All steam is out.

AT&T Note 9 Pie Update Out

It's really nice. The UI design is awesome and great user flow. Very smooth. I heard people *****ing about the beta a while back but I'm all in. You should get it soon. Att is usually butt ass slow so yours should be around the corner. ??
Maybe Verizon will push it soon. One thing I really miss about my pixel 2 xl.
Yes Downloading mine now AT&T
Once you have a few hrs in with the update let us know your experience. I'm anxiously waiting for my update from TMO. I read somewhere should hit US customers on Monday Feb 4th 2019. Few more days for us but would like to see user experience with the new version.
Already found a few things I don't really like. Can't relocate clock in the status bar, can't see the calendar dates unless you find a good theme. It's going to take some getting used to for sure, but I like the new updated look

Right, only security update...by the way, my curiosity, what font did you install? Looks nice.
Baumans.
Same here. Next month should be Android 10 stable for us. Or at least according to Sammy's schedule. Can't wait.

There is a thead about firmware updates on the N960F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...icial-stock-fw-update-odin-thread-xx-t3825204
The title is not updated anymore because the topic starter abandoned the thread. He move on to the Note 10 plus.
But the tread is still alive.
As usual, other carriers get updates but not At&t

Question Different box

Hi,
Anyone else saw this kind of package?
It was part of the April launch. Fan Version. Nothing really special
Edit: not Launch, it was the Mi Fan Festival.
