[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] btblue:
I had the same dilemma. I actually went for the Mate 10 Pro after considering the Note 8 and Pixel 2 XL. Fast forward 9 days and I felt the Mate 10 Pro was a let down for me so I went back to the drawing board.

I kept trying out the Pixel and the Note 8 and was torn. I was put off with the screen issue with the 2 XL, the screen burn and for so much money, I didn't want to invest in a phone with a possible flaw. I know it would be possible to return the phone but I didn't want the hassle. The note 8 battery was for me a weak point and I just couldn't make my kind up. Back and forth to the Pixel 2 XL and Note 8. Agh!

In the end I decided to go all in and bought the S9+. The ram and processor, camera and screen and battery were all positive for me plus the Rom options.

I know the Pixel pips the S9+ on the camera front but I just didn't want the possible hassle with the screen.

So far I'm really impressed. No lag, great battery life. Almost 5 hours SOT and 24 hours sleep so 29 hours

Off charge. That for me is fine and quashed any concerns I had about poor battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ticalo:
I can't say much about Pixel 2 xl, but my 9+ is flying through everything, no lag nor performance issues whatsoever.

The camera and the display is fantastic. This is the first fully loaded phone I've ever owned.

In the end, it's the users preferences that counts. For me it was really simple to choose, dual SIM and and the extra features TW brings to the table
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
Unfair? Unfair would be in the case that Samsung would use 8.1...How long is Oreo out already, not to mention that S8 line Oreo update fiasco? I tried yesterday S9+ in shop and the glitch is noticeable, not to mention side panel... It should be polished! Period.

Than I am lucky...What poor hardware? Referring to display? Yes it is not the greatest, that's why Goggle and Apple invest in LG to improve. I wont open the matter of Saturation here... We are here to help the guy and not to trolling.

With Pixel you will receive P, Q probably R...so much for the latest and greatest in software department...

No, not that simple as you might imagine...

It is a decision (since it is third month of the year) to wait or not to wait for the rest of the flagships with 845 to be released...Someone might even find very appealing the upcoming MI Mix 2S or Huawei P20 to mention just a few. Anyway when I told several S8 average users that they are using their gadgets in WHD they were very much surprised, they didn't even know about the WQHD ..

If you are in the urge & need to immediatelly upgrade and being a long time Sammy user, than go for the S9+, you might find Pixel 2 XL boring phone. But the stellar software compensate everything else & the camera quality is more ore less equal on both, battery is great on Pixel 2 XL (I am getting 6 to 7 hours of sot on P-DP1), BT with zero issues, connected 3 devices, two media at once...

Btw, if you use other computer than windows: Samsung has always connectivity issues , especially if using Mac as I do...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
You are comparing a device in the store which is loaded with a lot of demo content and apps, that is laggy as hell and probably even with burn in on the screen. This is not the way to compare them, because when I bought mine, even the ones in the store were crappy and overheating always.

For no one is a surprise that the Pixel 2 XL has poor hardware and quality controls, regarding the screen, speakers and other internal components; you can go to the Pixel 2 XL forum and read tons of complaints regarding hardware, and I'm not even mentioning the problems with software, because some of them are being addressed already by Google through software updates. Also I was referring to the storage and RAM capacity, which for the 3 years of updates they planned to offer, is kind of a joke and makes the Pixel a no future proof phone. The RAM management in the pixel is bad also, is loading apps constantly. All the flagships are already offering 6GB and 128GB because is a huge improvement.

Do you really plan to look at that blue screen for 3 years?, or let me rephrase the question: do you think your device will last for 3 years?, because people with the first Pixel and the Nexus strongly disagree. I stopped caring about updates as long as I have stability, and Google with each update is fixing 1 thing and breaking 2 more. What's the point to have Android P first if it looks the same as what the S9+ has right now, and even with similar functionalities?. What's the point of having updates first if they will break things and we need to wait for another month in order for them to be fixed?. Gone are the times of the Nexus phones when every update meant improvement and stability; since the Pixel brand, Google has been messing around really hard, and after being a Nexus user for many years, it just makes me sad this kind of attitude from them.

Google wants to play to be Apple, but guess what?, as long as they don't have total control over software and hardware, they won't be able to offer the same experience as other manufacturers.

Stellar software?, come on, even Google is having problems with its software, otherwise go and ask to the Nexus 6P and first Pixel users how Oreo and 8.1 is breaking usability, battery, boot-lops and other issues.

I understand you have your opinion about these 2 devices, but is kind of biased when you only had one, and I can tell you that after having both devices, I wouldn't pick a Pixel 2 XL never again, and many people in this thread agree with me after having both.

Even in software, the S9+ is snappier and quicker, and so far, no problems with any app, Bluetooth, Android Auto and other compatibility problems which indeed I faced with the Pixel 2 XL.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Gregzi:
Ad 1: It was the one from under the desk for serious ones to spent 900 EUR....lol..

Ad 2 : No issues with speakers, blue tint is 10 - 15 % more noticeable as on S8+ (laid on the desk one by one) before it was gone...

To your info: I had S8+ for 7 months, has all sort of problems with it - not even to mention Samsung support and service... I am happy to ditch it for a good price...

So you are saying that DP1 broke my phone??? It was newer snappier - even for DP1 it looks really good.

Did you RMA yours if everything was broken (your words)?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jazzespresso:
Ohhh crap..there was 15% off ebay coupon I missed yesterday darn!!!, I would have gotten this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Ga...hash=item2f1614b741:m:mASpKruVbkBAtdQptSropGw, for $735 with coupon (free shipping and no tax)

ohh well, next time I guess...I also heard S9/S9+ not doing great as far as sales goes since it was not a major upgrade from S8/S8+, many probably won't upgrade their phone, so I am thinking there's going to be a price cut in few months...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dr.guru:
Honnestly, I was in such a dilemma between keeping my pixel 2 xl or the S9+, It is frustrating to have to chose between them. I ended by doing a sort of benchmark regarding the most important things depending on my usage and the S9+ was the winner, by far...

What makes me decide to chose the S9+:

The screen (hell yeah)

Stereo speakers with dolby atmos

Headphone jack

Expendable storage (I do use a 128gb microSD card)

Better integration with my samsung gear sport

Some features like bixby*, secure folder and samsung pass (*end of joke)

What I am missing from my pixel 2 XL:

The price ? (i bought my 128gb version at 520 €)

The stock google experience

Oh I have to mention that I am on march security update, I hope that the updates will be faster now that the S9+ is supporting treble.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] jrharvey:
I am selling my Pixel 2 XL for a SMALL Galaxy S9. I dont want the plus. WHY? Oh it was tough but my main focus for a good phone is camera video quality, low light camera, watching youtube, and listening to music. I thought the pixel 2 would be amazing since I LOVED the origonal google pixel. However I was shocked at how much I hated not having a headphone jack on my pixel 2. It is incredibly annoying. Even 3 months after buying the pixel 2 I am still incredibly annoyed at not having a headphone jack. Also having an SD card slot is just amazing! How did I go so long without this? Every phone should have an SD card slot! The video quality on the pixel 2 is good with 3rd party apps like cinema 4k however the video quality with the stock app on the galaxy blows away the pixel 2 especially in low light. This phone just fits me. Its also a 5.8" screen and QHD compared to the pixel 2s 5" FHD crapier screen. The S9 even shoots 4k at 60fps which is pretty sick for vloggers and making sweet high res BRoll.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
I never said everything was broken, but I faced many issues that I didn't expect coming from a phone directly by Google.

It made me realize that the other phones I was using and had the same bugs, were not faulty because of the skin or the manufacturer, but because Android have them. If the Android base is buggy or broken, not much manufacturers can do.

I just returned it instead of RMA, because I don't have the money or the patience, because making the RMA each time was a cost of €60 for shipping and so on. I don't live in a place where Google has presence.

I don't know about Samsung support or service, because so far I haven't use them and hopefully I won't do, because my device is perfect so far in every way.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mr mystery:
As bad as my battery life currently is ony S9+ I may return it and go back to my P2XL. I got 3 hours SoT yesterday over a 15 hour period.

I'd get double that or more on my P2XL

Pretty disappointed with how bad the S9+ battery endurance is for me. I'm not doing anything differently or using different apps. In fact I'm using less apps cause I haven't got everything installed and setup yet. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Clearly something is wrong with your device, because I can't do less than 6-7 hours SOT over a day period.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mr mystery:
Clearly you have an Exynos S9+ ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Still, even with a Snapdragon processor, it shouldn't affect battery life that much. Maybe we can talk about some minutes or even one hour difference, but no way you get half of it.

The battery size is the same in both devices, and any device with 3 hours SOT and that battery size for sure has a problem.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mr mystery:
I'm thinking there's drivers that need optimization. I'm not the only one seeing abysmal battery on the SD variant. That's encouraging that maybe it can be fixed with an update. If it doesn't change before my 15 days is up I'll return it and go back to my P2XL and revisit this later if things change down the road.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] eduardmc:
R u joking. The exynos varian are having the worse battery life. Only 3 to 4 hour sot.

Im getting 6+ hour on every charge. Snapdragon. Tmobile variant. With live wallpaper and set in high perfomance. Meaning that im not even trying to save battery on my phone. U should see whats really drainung ur battery cause this phone has one of the best battery life i've seen.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] btblue:
Really? Wow, news to me.

5 hours SOT and 24.5 hours sleep time. Exynos variant. I'm not complaining.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] HNIC215:
Sometimes you have to give it time to settle in...

Try a hard reset and make sure you don't have any rogue apps draining your battery unnecessarily.

From my experience with Android over the years, battery life on phones can be all over the place.

Best thing is patience in this situation. <- I know, I know... That's easier said than done.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] eduardmc:
Link below

All started with the release of the exynos variant and people getting 3 hours sot. While snapdragon variant having excellent battery. This year 845 is the battery KING compare to the exynos.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/extremely-mediocre-battery-life-t3760933

Below snapdragon. 48% left 4:30 sot. Live wallpaper/ high perfomance enable. Wqhd resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] btblue:
That's nice

Well a week in and I've achieved 38.5 hours. 6 of those screen on.

This is brilliant and beyond my expectations. AOD is off and I've removed any rogue apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] charter3554:
I have an S7 (930F), baseband,AP CP is: G930FXXU1DQ1C and CSC is: G930FPHN1DQI1.

I would like to use Samsung pay in the US with rewards earning.

The Samsung pay framework is currently 2.5.94! and the Samsung Pay app is not installed yet from the Play store.

My question is: for full US Samsung Pay usage including rewards earning, which combination of framework version should I try to get and which version of the Samsung Pay app should I try to get?

Also, what would happen if I just downloaded the newest version of the Samsung Pay app from the app store and tried to use it in the US? Would my nice, old, SP framework number be automatically updated?

For now, I have all automatic updates on the phone turned off for everything including apps and phone software.

My phone did notify me that it wants to install G930FXXU2DRB6, I declined at this time.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] marcoly:
Hi guys,

I am going to sell my G6 soon as I don't really like it and I thought about getting Mi Note 2 or Mi6. Would you buy your Mi Note 2 again or you would rather go with Mi6? Mi Note 2 has audio jack, OLED and curved screen, while Mi6 has IPS (so it won't burn-in), better camera I guess (?) and powerful SoC. What are your opinions?

Regards
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] alexmanu1:
Well , i'm gonna say my opinion. You can agree/disagree with it tho XD

I would buy Mi Note 2 again because:

1.Good price

2.I really enjoy a 5.5 inch-6 inch screen , so this 5.7 inch one is perfect. It has vivid colors as it is an OLED , but it's true , it's not that sharp. If you really need sharpness and display is a big thing for you , maybe you might consider Mi 6.

3.The design is very nice and a lot of people said that it looks very good when they saw it.

4.The audio of Mi Note 2 in headphones is the best i've ever heard coming from a smartphone. This applies to the loudspeaker also. It's really loud with punchy bass and clarity.

5.Camera , indeed , may not be as great as mi 6 , but it does the job for me. Untill now, i managed to get good shots in every condition , without complaining about the results.

6.The SoC upgrade, for me, has no value as sd821 already runs every game very well. Also, it runs good a more demanding game that just apeared , PUBG for mobile .

Those were my thoughts. Maybe i'm not that pretentious when it comes to have a smartphone. I hope you make the right choice and your new phone will please you :)
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] marcoly:
I'd love to see Google Cam with HDR+ on Mi Note 2 as well as it's portrait mode :) However I think that Mi6 has more ROMs to choose from and better dev support :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi Note 2  Questions & Answers] alexmanu1:
Yeah , it depends on what you are searching for :)

I would say that you should buy the one you have a feeling it will be the best for you. Don't get distracted on reviews . :)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Munky99:
Hi,

I've got a G3 (D855) which I rooted about 6 months ago but was never able to install TWRP on. I flashed the image but when I tried to boot into recovery I got a black screen with a tiny error message (and I mean tiny, could barely read it) saying 780(?) fastboot error.

Now I get the same message when I try to do a factory reset.

Tried to flash back to stock with LG flash tool but had an error with a milky way connection!??

The phone works fine but I want to be able to do nandroid backups and maybe install a custom ROM. Can anyone help?

Thanks

FASTBOOT: if you cannot see your device, reinstall LG-drivers and ADB/FASTBOOT-mini-package.

Get yourself a gps reciever that connects via Bluetooth. I picked up a "AntennaGPS" 54 channel reciever for $65 australian on ebay and highly recommend it. You will need the gps software, I like Tomtom 6 or Miomap. You also have to have the maps. These programs WILL cost you but its wothwhile. You may also be able to find on the net for download BUT they are illegal copies. I'll leave it up to you to decide.... :rolleyes:
