Fast Charging is enabled when fast charger option isn't even turned ON. To remedy I had to unplug and turn fast charging ON and then OFF again. I noticed this occurence with the build prior after initial install.

Still charges however, so not the same issue as you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
U update. As in one one that contains updated features. As opposed to an S update, which is only a security patch update.

Please re-read my post so you don't give out false information, please.

Had no idea!! When did it come out?

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 AM ----------

@KingVekxin

You can tell what version of Android it is just by the build number. You can also tell if each update just contains the updated security patch, or if new features were added or updated.

The first character (S or U) tells you if it's a security patch or a feature update. S = Security Patch and U = Feature Update (features added or changed)

The second character (a number) tells you bootloader version. This is important to know when upgrading and downgrading OS versions. You can NOT downgrade the bootloader. 1 = Bootloader V1, 2 = Bootloader v2, etc...

The third character tells you the Android version. This is different for each Galaxy device. A is the Android version that device 2as released with. (For the Note 9 A=Oreo; C=Pie) B will likely be newer versions of Oreo, possibly with an updated bootloader.*Z is for official Samsung BETA program builds.

The fourth character is the year of the build (R=2018, S=2019). This is the same across all Galaxy devices.

The fifth character is the month of the build. This does not indicate what security patch it contains, only what month it was built. (A=January, B=February). Again, same across all Galaxy Devices.

The sixth character is just the sequence of builds that month (1-9, then A-Z)

SO

S - Security Patch

1 - Bootloader V1

A - Oreo

R - 2018

J - October build

9 - 9th build in October

and

U - Feature update

1 - Bootloader V1

C - Pie

R - 2018

L - December build

2 - 2nd build in December

and

U - Feature update

1 - Bootloader v1

Z - Official Samsung BETA program build

R - 2018

K - November build

P - 25th build in November

Make sense?

Interesting. I can't remember what it looked like before to compare.

I don't have that option. It's still choose between single or double press to activate. Then if you hold it down it starts Bixby Voice. Same as before.

Did you use the modified version of Odin?

Ooops Mr Orange answered
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJMatt91:
Yes! It's how I've been flashing firmware. Last one that I flashed was ARJA for the U.

I got the modified ODIN file from the original xda write up from I believe Oct 8th on CRJ1 when it was in Alpha.

If you've got a different link that worked for you. Please provide. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I dont think that is the issue. There are several several people here that continue to provide help on a regular basis, answering the same questions over and over and over when most questions have already been answered numerous times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I don't have a link to the files, sorry. I used SamFirm to download all my firmware.

How is it failing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJMatt91:
Honestly not sure exact on the errors that I got. I assumed I just didn't download the right firmware, with the fear of bricking the device I told myself I didn't want to mess around to much with the U1 stuff since I have a 960U. But can't help to stop reading how people are on the ZRKP or now ZRL7 official betas with my phone. Has me wondering I had the wrong files.

So are you saying download the U1 ARJ9 Odin firmware from Samfirm? Cause I got thr file I tried from I believe a Google Drive link some posted on a different forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yeah. You shouldn't have any issues installing U1 firmware.

Just double check and make sure you're using the patched or modified version of Odin 3.13.1.

Google SamFirm and download it to your computer. Should be v0.36 I believe.

Search for N960U1 and use XAA for the CSC. If it comes back with anything other than ARJ9 I can teach you how to get around that too.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dawynkoop:
I had trouble flashing any firmware on my 906U and oddly enough I had to switch USB ports on my computer. I tried using both of my USB 3.0 ports and it would fail every time without any errors then switched to a legacy USB 2.0 port and it has worked without an issue ever since. May or may not work in your case, but definitely easy enough to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I can use USB 3 ports just fine. Which is good since that's all my desktop has. However, if I try to use a USB C to C cable, ODIN fails. I have to use a standard A to C in order for it to work.

Not sure if it's been mentioned before, but I just discovered that with the gesture hints enabled, you can still use the recent apps scrolling gesture (swiping from home to recents). Not only that, but you can access Google Assistant by swiping up from home and holding with or without the gesture hints enabled. Note that without the hints enabled, Assistant doesn't open up as consistently (at least not for me).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dawynkoop:
Are you able to get a screenshot? I noticed you said it shows up next to the clock, is your clock on the left side like most pie clocks, or is yours showing up on the right side? If it is showing up next to the clock and your clock is on the left side then that leads me to believe it is an app notification and not a system notification. Do you have any installed apps that may have updated recently that would show a similar icon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJMatt91:

Does the UI firmware have hd calling, advanced messaging and visual vm for ATT?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gandalf:
No, supposedly because the unlocked (U1) firmware doesn't register correctly on the network for some reason that both AT&T and Samsung haven't fixed yet. It's most likely an AT&T issue that will be fixed in the future.

You can still flash U1 in Odin then use the CSC from AT&T's ARJA firmware to get those features back but you won't receive OTAs for the official beta, you'll have to flash them manually. Not a terrible sacrifice in my opinion.

There are no direct updates to CRKE. The most recent leaked build is CRL4, though CRL6 or CRL8 should be dropping soon. But you'll have to ODIN back to Oreo, then sideload them.

Only the beta Z build have direct update OTAs.

Yes Odin ARJ9.. find Samsung plus beta apk, install it after you have went to ARJ9. Register for Pie Beta.
