Well this is definitely amazing battery life AT&T Note9 on Official 1CSAA can't complain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:
So I've been running CSAA since it was originally leaked. Was using Odin to go down the flash OTA back up, no factory resets. Everything was working perfectly. Been doing it for months. Now that nothing new has been out for weeks I decided to Odin Verizon's latest ARL1 (I have a Verizon variant) and start fresh, then go up to CSAA. A nice clean install. The only issue I'm noticing now is the Dolby button keeps shutting itself off. Never had that problem before. Anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rndchef:
You may have done what I did. The link is not accurate. It doesn't upgrade to pie.

I am now on ARJ5 instead of ARI5. I am downloading the 1.7G CRJ8 update. Can I flash over ARJ5 or do I need to get back to ARI5?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] spimonkey34:
Crap, same issue here. I tried a different dialer and it did the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrismich0206:
I haven't had any issues with my calls so far.

I do have a problem with my battery stats not showing any app usage though. It's just blank. Is this a known issue or something I've got an issue with myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Successfully rolled back to oreo... the dialer crashing wasn't that much fun. Seems to really have an issue if I was using data while on a call (VOLTE).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] spimonkey34:
I wonder if it is a T-Mo problem. What carrier are you on?

Mine shows the app breakdown. Don't see any issue there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrismich0206:
I'm on Verizon. I've made about 5 calls today with no issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Very possible it's a volte bug on tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
To my AT&T folks, how's the beta going for you? Preferably the latest build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] apascual89:
I was about to ask the same..... I use the phone for work so need it to work lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iain_S:
anyone else having an issue with touch towards the bottom of the screen? is not registering all the time on my phone. I would say CRJ6 is a little less buggy than this build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
Whoever sees an answer first needs to tag the other one, deal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jellybear456:
Also waiting on some ATT folks to weigh in..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rndchef:
T-mo CRJ8 and working very well. Little buggy but daily driver for sure. Love the new UI and Pie.

Anyone having issues with Google play store? Mine does not load and getting error retrieving information server. Also android pay is not taking a pin in order to move forward with the setup. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NightHawkUndead:
CRJ9 available on Firmware.science
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
i just flashed back to crj6 yesterday, i'm NOT updating again so soon, maybe in a week.. maybe

unless there are some major improvement on crj9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
These updates are coming quick, damn!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] louis.liu324:
I'm not using a snapdragon variant but I'm just curious whether Good Lock works on pie.. last time when Samsung updated from marshmallow to nougat there was good lock but it didn't carry over. That was pretty sad
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Iain_S:
cant authenticate samsung account on CRJ9, other than that things are getting smoother and less bugs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Psyscope:
Can someone copy the system app and priv app for of the newest note 9 build and upload it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If you were already on CSAA, then flashing ARL1 and sideloading the CSAA OTA was redundant. CSAA is CSAA.

But to answer your question, I've had no issues with Dolby Atmos. Just double checked and it's still on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:
I'm aware of that. I just did it to have a fresh install onto CSAA. Instead of the "dirty path" I had taken to get there. Going down then up, down then up, like 6 times with out ever doing a complete wipe or factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Just flashing the CSAA ODIN files would've been simpler and cleaner. But honestly just a simple factory reset would've been the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
CSB3 on FOTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
There won't be no more leaks they have been blocked , so leaks are over with all AT&T Samsung phones every model R.I.P
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Damn shame. Was fun while it lasted
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Why do you think there hasn't been leaks for weeks, cause they are there but no one can no longer get them they are blocked, plus it now has a MD5 so we can't figure out the MD5 that's why it's blocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Him. Guess it's the end of the road for the thread...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Coreax:
So for someone who is still on CSA2 and has totally forgotten about updating his phone, what was the most recent build to be released?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Latest Official Pie is 1CSAA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
You should be able to Odin to CSAA. Venom has it in a thread. Just don't flash data, and you will be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
Thanks for the update, Venom. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zor Omega:
I'm on an unlocked Note 9 running ZRLL beta. Do I need to downgrade in order to get the official when it drops? Or will we get a small update to the official?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If you're registered for the beta, you'll get the OTA to the official.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zor Omega:
Roger that. I registered for it, so I'll just wait for the OTA. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ksupernor2:
Quick question I'm on a Verizon note 9 and I'm running CSAA been running great... I know this is official CSAA for AT&t. Is it most likely that that will be Verizon's official? That is a Verizon ever decides to actually update their note 9 to pie. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bxrider117:
If Verizon follows the same pattern for the S9/S9+, which are all running the same version of Android Pie for all US carriers, then yes it should be the same.

However, because Verizon is taking so long with the Note 9, I have a hunch they are going to change something for it to be a different build. Or maybe just release it with a February security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
You never know. It could be a good chance since Sprint and others are on CSAA. But who knows? T-Mobile is still waiting on theirs as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
To fall in line with the S8/+, Note 8, and S9/+, which all use BYOD carrier switching firmware, all major US carriers will release the same build of Pie.

I expect T-Mo and Verizon to release CSAA. If for some reason they don't, they will likely just release the February build along with ATT and Sprint. If that's the case, then you can download the OTA from firmware.science and sideload it to get on the official OTA path. But they will all eventually be on the same build.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

I could be wrong, but it would make zero sense for the Note 9 to deviate from that path. Especially since Pie is carrier switching firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] damikachu:
Has battery life been discussed at all since csaa released? I feel like it's nowhere near as good as the betas
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
It's been discussed numerous times, and you're in the minority with that feeling. I'm getting incredible battery life, as are a lot of other people. Since this thread originated from the official "Z" betas, check some of the newer threads created since CSAA was released.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] DubSolo:
Def feeling the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] motocarblog:
I'm really pleased with this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceo.mtcl:
I agree, for the first time a new Galaxy phone doesn't want me to go for it right away. S10 doesn't really attract me. I'd take no notch and no punch hole anyday lol. And battery life is so good on this!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
The S10 is probably not worth upgrading from the Note 9. The new innovative features are not every day must-haves. The in-screen fingerprint scanner is a great new feature, but so what, you still have to place your finger in a specific spot. Not to mention I never had the desire to charge someone's device from my device. Samsung needs to come up with real every day all day feature enhancements, and not just a innovation showcase. Hopefully the Note 10 will give us something better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Nope don't do it , it's a downgrade, i put my Note9 side by side with a S10 Plus and let me tell you Note9 still beats it and you will not notice any difference, only thing S10 has is some few new stuff on camera and video, which Note 10 will have and will have more, so it be stupid to upgrade which is really a downgrade. Even tho i pre-ordered 2 S10 Plus and traded for my 2 S9 Plus, but i did keep my Note9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I pre-ordered an S10+ for my wife and am trading in her S9+. It brought the price down to $478 after tax. I put it on a card that had a cash back promotion. After I spend $500 on the card, they will give me back a $250 bill credit. So I'll buy a case and screen protector to bring the charges up to $500, so after the $250 promotion, it will cost me $250. I honestly couldn't pass it up for her.

For me, I'll keep my Note 9. I'm hoping the Note 10 has an equally good trade in offer. If I can get $450 or $550 for my Note 8 when the 10 comes out, I'll trade it in, and my Note 9 will become my backup device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yeah that makes sense, And yeah Note9 is just not and upgrade for a S10 Plus, it's a downgrade if anyone did that, would definitely be dumb to trade in Note9 for the S10 Plus, but definitely you did get a excellent deal for what your doing for your wife., Also i know myself once i have my 2 S10 Plus, probably using it for a week or so, And will end up going back to my Note9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mammothjojo88:
Looks like I'll be keeping my Note 9 too, just sim unlocked it. Felt good unlocking the sim for the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bogdi1988:
Sometime in March. Whenever the idiots in the OneUI beta team decide to stop waiting on their team for an update. The bot replies they have on the Members app to some of the questions and feedback are ridiculous ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I'm switching to the S10+. For me, the new features will be useful.

Being able to charge my Galaxy Watch, iPhone XR, and eventually my Galaxy Buds will be very convenient for me. Plus I've never been a fan on rear fingerprint scanners since my phone sits flat a lot. And I have T-Mobile Jump on Demand, so it doesn't cost me anything to swap. No ridiculous down payment and my bill will actually go down slightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Well that at least make sense, but others would upgrade normal and lose a lot, your situation definitely is different so yeah that does make sense what your doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Yep. If I were financing or owned the Note 9 outright, I'd still be content with it. I used to jump around from OEM to OEM, but since HTC is pretty much dead and LG is LG, I'm just sticking with Samsung now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I've been reading that the S10's imbeded fingerprint scanner does not work with traditional screen protectors. It only works with UV loca type screen protectors like the Whitestone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I've heard that too, but I stopped using screen protectors on all my phones once the screens started curving. Only exception is my iPhone XR that I own and use for work. I refuse to have one without tempered glass security.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Whitestone is the only "certified by Samsung" screen protector guaranteed to work with the fingerprint reader. The issue is gaps, even miniscule gaps, between the screen protector and the screen itself. The LOCA installation with Whitestone eliminates this issue, as there is no gap. So it stands to reason ANY TGSP with LOCA will work, but Whitestone is "certified." Wet install, TPU, and PET screen protectors that are all full adhesive should not affect the fingerprint reader. I LOVE the Ringke Easy Dual screen protector on my Note 8 and Note 9, and it says it works with the fingerprint reader, so I am ordering it for my wife's S10+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I wonder if the zagg curves elite will work since it is full adhesive
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I'm using an off-brand (bootleg) version of the Whitestone. It's working perfectly and looks great with no issues. Outside of the Samsung certification, I can't tell the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Buddy of mine did this with his Note 8..worked perfect no issues. Think he got the glass for like $5.00
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] renanff:
So, did you work this out?

The same thing was happening to me and the issue was Adhell. I turned off everything in the app (firewalls, disabled apps, all of it) and then Samsung cloud was working again!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I assume so, but man those suck. I got one for my Note 8 and threw it in the trash, LOL. It was too narrow. Not only did the black border cut into the screen (I could live with that), but I could see a sliver of light on either side of the screen protector, meaning part of the viewable area was exposed (I could NOT live with that).

Yes they do. I've used the off brand versions before too. The fact that Samsung certified Whitestone only means it's guaranteed to work with their fingerprint reader. It doesn't mean it's any better, or that other screen protectors, or that other screen protectors WON'T work, just means they aren't guaranteed by Samsung.

My guess is some money changed hands for that certification. Maybe not, but that's my cynical guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I bought the Whitestone for my wife's phone not knowing of anything similar. When the off-brands started surfacing, I purchased one of those kits for myself. I noticed the uv light was exactly the same, just rebranded with the Whitestone name. I bet many high price accessories we use are just rebrands of a far lesser priced product.

I deleted my Samsung account from my phone, rebooted, re-entered the account, and all was normal. I did notice with all the flashing we were doing, restoring from backup sometimes caused issues with some apps and services.

Thanks guys. I'm on CSAA and I have everything setup so nicely. I am trying to determine if it's worth the hassle to start fresh and get everything back to my current setup. Sounds like there's nothing major with the new build.

---------- Post added at 04:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 AM ----------

I'm on AT&T and I'm almost certain it'll wipe my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Two things:

1. If you're on ATT, flashing an OTA in Recovery will wipe your phone. I don't know WHY ATT does that, but it does.

2. If you're on CSAA, then you are on the official ATT build, so you'll get CSB3 when ATT pushes it via OTA, and it won't wipe that way. I'd wait until. ATT pushes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Waiting sounds like a plan. Hopefully it won't be too long. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] kingbily:
I've been on CRK1 for a week or so. These are the issues I've noticed so far:

Opening the stock phone app causes a crash.

Sometimes opening the recent apps overlay then tapping on the most recently used app will cause the app to launch but the overlay to remain on screen.

Sometimes I can interact with an app as though it has been switched to from the recent apps overlay but it stays within the recent apps overlay.

Rotating the phone to landscape when Chrome is open shows half a screen of Chrome and the bottom half of the recent apps page.

At times the keyboard only partially hides itself on back gesture. The ghost of the stock Samsung keyboard remains on the bottom quarter of the display at a lower transparency than usual.

At times when I remove the pen and tap it to the screen whichever app I'm using becomes unresponsive until I gesture back.

No issues throughout the beta/leaks, but I finally got burned by this after downloading CSB3.

Downgraded to ARL1, booted straight to recovery, flashed CSB3. Phone booted up, but WiFI was broken, BT was in a connect/disconnect loop, and SMS only worked when it felt like it.

Wiped and started fresh, with no issues so far.
