Can Pie beta be installed on SM-G9650?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] neutraltech:
Hahaha same I impulsively check this thread way more than I care to admit. And whenever a beta gets released, I get unreasonably excited
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
I believe there is a beta for the 9650, but it's not in this thread. I don't think anyone on XDA has the OTA for it due to a very small amount of users who actually own the 9650.

No sideloading required when going back to Oreo.

Nope Its only available for s9 and Note 9 device.

No update for S8 (SM-G950) yet

He said G9650 not G950.

G9650 is the Snapdragon 845 variant of the S9+.

And this is how we end up with buggy firmwares when Samsung only lets inexperienced testers report bugs. There are a lot of bugs in this release and we are all running the exact same build you are. If you are not seeing the bugs being reported it's not because they do not exist but because most members of the Samsung beta testing community have no idea what they are doing.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] tatomolina11:
If you encounter that update anywhere please let me know and yes it is the S9 Plus Snapdragon 845
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] acemarco:
You are very arrogant to imply that the beta testers are inexperienced. Most of us (the Beta Community is very active just like all the XDA ones) have always installed custom roms and some are developers themselves.

Regarding the bugs... we simply do not have the ones you talk about in this thread. I've summed them up:

Camera missing features

Bixby lagging

Alarm not working

Bluetooth disconnecting

No quick toggles in landscape mode

Dolby not working properly

Apps not updating

Call UI freezing

Night mode randomly hiding icons and buttons

Call button missing in 3rd party launcher (tried Nova and the button shows)

etc.

What you seem to fail to understand is the reason we don't have these issues is because these beta releases are optimised for our UK devices. Installing the said betas on a different device will almost certainly give random issues, bugs, fc, etc.

Therefore you have issues that we don't have.

And because this isn't a thread on a custom rom, there's isn't a developer who will pick up your list of issues and fix them for the next build therefore in most cases all you can do is wipe and reinstall, or just restart it if you're luck.

Having used custom roms since 2011 I get how frustrating it is when you're all excited about a new release or an update but then the device becomes unstable and you frantically look for solutions.

I had the most stupid intention to offer my time and let you verify whether a certain behaviour is a bug or simply a feature missing from the beta update. Be your tester in trying apps that are giving you problems and decide if it depends on your device or on the beta release itself, etc.

But considering all the load of crap I got back I don't really see why I should waste my time. Ciao ciao.

I warned you all just a few posts back to keep this respectful. I am monitoring this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] acemarco:
To the ignorant and racist Russian fellow...

May I remind you that Samsung's Pie is a BETA, not an EXPERIMENTAL release. Therefore there are missing features, not bugs (edit: mentioned in this forum). Do you really think it would make much sense to release an unstable release unusable and impossible to test?

And then I'm the one who talks rubbish...

I personally never had yet one fc, frozen app, bootloop, app not updating, etc.

Am I lucky or is it just that Samsung's dev team are trying to release the most stable betas possible in order to make them fully testable?

They admitted to have taken off certain features that were causing some problems in order to fix them while we test the builds.

I'm on official German beta from day one,not perfect but none of the bugs mentioned.

Hi,

i had a query wanted to check which is the latest stable stock ROM for s9+ indian variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] acemarco:
What? You mean you (official German beta tester) don't have ANY of the bugs and issues mentioned in this forum either??

Wow, then maybe I wasn't talking rubbish...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
I see only 1 arrogance here: YOU!

This Beta-firmware is NOT only "optimized" for the UK; what about "Germany" who's taking part in this beta too?

This firmware is the same for ALL CSC's included in the OXM Multi-CSC!

I personally don't have the S9/S9+, but have the Note9, also running on the this week released OneUI-Beta.

Installed it also via UPDATE.ZIP, have no problems at all (PHN - Netherlands).

* Camera missing features: like what?

* Bixby lagging: ?

* Alarm not working: works perfectly

* Bluetooth disconnecting: no problems with BT

* Apps not updating: no problems

* Call UI freezing: no problems

* Night mode: no problems

I know: it's the Note9 which has "newer firmware" than the S9-series...

But don't say to other people they are "arrogant": read back your own reactions, and you could see "a" definition of "arrogance"...

C'mon guys play nice. I for one am now enjoying a nice long doobie whilst testing (not like a usual brit btw ???). If one of you guys did the same, (perhaps the one who's countrys laws partially allow this) this argument would stop guaranteed.

Pie rocks that's the point. Matters not what is said here, this one ui is gorgeous!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] acemarco:
If you're saying I'm arrogant you totally missed my point!

About 10 posts back I confirmed that NONE of the issues and bugs listed in this thread are present on the beta released to the official testers (UK in my case, don't know about the German one because no official German testers had reported here yet) therefore wanted to reassure everyone that One UI is going in the right direction.

I also said that the mentioned bugs are only due to the fact that the beta releases have been installed on non official country devices and not because of a crappy beta itself.

To confirm what I had written previously (go and read all of my previous posts) a German official beta tester just confirmed a few posts back that he himself didn't find any of the bugs either.

Just checking: people that may use hotspot on beta (2.5), do you get disconnected intermittently? It seems random, hotspot just decides to turn off without any message etc? Is this power saving kicking in?

UPDATE: Seems subjective. Buggy perhaps? It sometimes work well, other times it disconnects randomly at different timing. if it helps, I came from clean BRJ6 build

This has been answered multiple times.

Everything need to be step by step. Can't jump directly to the last beta. Other way is to wait for the final version and to flash it with Odin. I think it won't matter then.

No go.......doesn't work for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Genebaby:
At the moment I don't have the time to redo my phone for nothing if I can't reliably get XSA to become my active CSC. It seems we really need the method described for the S8 with the Combination file and other steps.

My phone may be pretty screwed up at the moment as I thought I was making it XSA when I first flashed but realised I did have the new FW, but was still all on OPS and now there is an update for OPS but my phone says I'm up to date.

OTA has not picked up an update for XSA or OPS, so it looks like OTA isn't working any more for me.

I don't know what phone I'll get after this as I do like the software and the edge panel but I mostly want the SD card and wireless charging support.

I could go without the SD card on a phone like the One Plus 6, with 256gb onboard, but they don't wireless charge....bloody Samsung.

Is this normal? Can I change all that to See and most important do I got OTA update in future?

Thanks guys, really need info about OTA
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
that is normal.

OTA depends on first CSC only SEE/xxx,xxx/xxx

xxx could be completly random. You will still get updates für SEE.

Last CSC cant be changed.

The ones in the middel are the best CSCs for the SIMs inside your phone.

So, everything is ok!

Why do they change the baseband that often... and only for ILO CSC....

Not sure why it's region specific, but apparently ARCC modem was buggy, and these new ones may have something to do with the calling issues on the Exynos S9+.

I ask currently having these problems too..

Bixby lagging

Dolby not working properly

Apps not updating

Call UI freezing

WhatsApp messages come but I don't get the notification

My phone is the Turkish model
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
wQ

I'm gonna repeat myself. As OP said once, different users have different setups, apps installed and CSC which may conflict somehow and is still beta which everything weird can be expected though. How is it on me:

Bixby lag - Yes, I know they said NO MORE lags in Bixby but when I open it I see lag /frame drops or whatever is it. I believe it will be fixed with the final version, no big deal for me I don't use it anyway.

Dolby - I don't use it atm (I don't use Dolby, Bluetooth, edge light, AOD cuz battery drain more than 50%)

Apps not updating - it's okay here

CallUI freezing - never experienced this

WhatsApp - don't use it so idk

---------------------------------------------------

Bugs that I think I have:

Auto Brightness doesn't work properly

Wide Selfie option is missing

When I receive the notification and open the app I still see the icon in status bar.

HUGE battery drain if I use - Bluetooth, Location, Edge Light, AOD, Dolby

Ignore the "trashtalking" last few pages, that we aren't supposed to run if u are not British or officially in the beta. We using the same build that everyone else registered for the beta using. Doesn't really matter from what country you are. The problem can be with SamsungPay.

PS:

There is an option for ignoring people - > User Control Panel > Edit Ignore List, here you can add someone if you don't want to read his comments. A very useful feature which I discovered after I got warned xD

Never said if you're not in the UK you're not supposed to install it. Are you guys for real??

I said that the non UK or German devices (to be clear, those who aren't part of the official beta programme) will have bugs that official testers do not have therefore there isn't a solution because the betas are not optimised for devices of other countries.

Also, saying "they said this issue will be fixed" cannot apply to your devices because on the official ones those issues are not present.

Unfortunately all you can do to have a flawless rom is wait for January when, theoretically, the official definite Pie will be released for everyone.

Read carefully what you're writing:

"I said that the non UK or German devices (to be clear, those who aren't part of the official beta programme) will have bugs that official testers do not have therefore there isn't a solution because the betas are not optimised for devices of other countries."

Also, saying "they said this issue will be fixed" cannot apply to your devices because on the official ones those issues are not present.

Unfortunately all you can do to have a flawless rom is wait for January when, theoretically, the official definite Pie will be released for everyone."

1. German devices have EXACTLY the same build as the UK ones

2. In your words: this beta is ONLY optimised for UK-devices, even NOT for the "official Beta" German devices

3. In your words: official Beta-devices (UK) don't have the issues mentioned here

When NON-UK devices wants to have a "Flawless ROM", they must wait till January...

Don't understand this: if the "issues" those people have now, and (in your words) UK-devices don't have these issues now, how will the issues of the "NON-official Beta phones" will be solved if they ain't reported to Samsung?

Samsung doesn't know then, "other users" have those problems, so they won't be solved, and still be present in the OFFICIAL release! :eek:

It would be "very nice/helpfull", if OFFICIAL (UK and/or German) OneUI-beta users, like yourself, report those issues too, so we ALL have a "stable firmware" in January...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] acemarco:
We can't report what none of us have! Yesterday finally a German official beta tester wrote here saying the same exact thing I stated: they don't have any of those bugs either!

I don't know the reason why yet this is the state of things.

If you could read the posts in the beta community you could see for yourself that no one is reporting the issues you people have because for some reason (again I don't know why) the same builds you're using on our devices work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
I get it: read for "We can't" "I won't"!

YOU won't be "helpfull" to other users, because YOU don't have those issues...

With other words: YOU don't care if "NON UK"-users will have "buggy" firmware, as long as "YOURS" will be "less of bugs" (because YOU don't have the issues "others" may have, and don't want to report those!)

Just wondering: WHY are you participating in this topic? To mention every time you "don't have the issues NON-official users have" and this OneUI-Beta is meant for the UK only? :eek:

"Very helpfull indeed"-> NOT! :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] acemarco:
I'll tell you guys something else.

There are some UK beta testers that before becoming official testers, didn't wait for the programme to kick off in the UK and decided to install the German release just like you guys did.

Well, they started listing a series of issues that magically disappeared once they became official UK testers using the UK beta release!

Samsung had declared over a month ago that only certain devices that matched their official list of IMEI devices would be able to sign up!

Therefore it is reasonable to think that the reason of bugs you people have could be determined by a sort of software block that kicks in when the beta is installed on devices not "chosen" for this test.

FYI I asked the Samsung Support Team why is it that whoever installs the beta release without being part of the official beta programme (so all of you who follow this thread) have bugs and issues that aren't present in the same devices (in this case S9 and S9+) officially taking part in the beta programme.

Just as I suspected the answer I got is that those who "acquired the software by uncertified means will trigger a software interrupt preventing the device from functioning properly".

Now, I have no idea why that is, why Samsung has decided to select only a few countries and devices and also how does this software blockage works.

They haven't replied yet but as soon as they do I will let you know.
