I'm seeing 5G as the network I am currently connected to. Is this legit or prep for the real thing? I'm with AT&T on CRLJ.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

This is legit and the speed is not a placebo. I'm surfing the web on 5G and it's lightening fast!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
It's a placebo. They changed the icon to fool gullibile people. Tons of articles on the web about it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Just truth and it hurts. Maybe the network someplace got an upgrade, but it isn't to 5G and has nothing to do with the icon. Why bring that up?

5G enabled phones? I'm not even sure the Note 9 has the ability to receive 5G. Doesn't the phone have to have the chipset/modem to support the new 5G network. That's why they are advertising the first 5G enabled phones in 2019. They are building it up so there could be some benefits to current 4G devices.

You may just live in an area where AT&T activated their microwave frequency LTE, which is technically capable of up to gigabit LTE speeds. However just like their BS with calling HSPA "4G" which was really just 3G with enhanced backhaul, and then true 4G "4G LTE", it's not 5G.

Oh yeah, I have no doubt it's faster. The U1 firmware will distinguish between LTE and LTE+ on T-Mobile, and my speeds are significantly faster when on LTE+. Got over 100mbps when in downtown Philadelphia last weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
Hey guys. Question: which build has better battery life? The U or U1 builds? Or are they pretty much the same? I'm currently running the C beta (U firmware) build and get between 6-7 hrs. SOT. Is it any better on the Z firmware builds?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dmkarkutt:
Hey all, I'm having trouble hoping someone can help me out. I'm on CRLJ build echolocation working great except I can't seem to send group text with more than 10 ppl? On oreo build i always do for work text. Does anyone know why or if I can change a setting somewhere as I like the pie better but need to be able to send to more than 10 ppl in group message.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
The C builds have been great for me on battery..but depends on your setup. I don't run a lot of apps..and I use hibernation manager. Not sure if it actually works but I still use it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
I've always wondered if Hibernation Manager actually works. Thanks for the info.

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

How do you know if Hibernation Manager is actually working? I've hibernated apps like YouTube Music but when the screen goes off it's still playing. What's your setup in that app?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
No...guess I should have. Noticed the extra speed, saw the 5G and voila!....lol.

@hkjxda

I hibernate all installed apps..sync..google service..I leave wifi and bluetooth alone. And any system app that doesnt cause any issues. Its supposed to work by hibernating selected apps once screen is off. I average 7hrs screen time, not sure if its due to that or stopping certain apps from running in the back ground through device care.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Well with the new update map listing the Note 9 as a February release, I'd say it's safe to say we will see a couple more beta Z builds released. It's a little confusing since the S9/+ rollout has began internationally, but not yet in the US. Wonder if the international Note 9 will upgrade first and then the US models following after? I believe that's what happened with the Note 8 last year.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
The TV shows never get it 100% correct. But it's entertainment. If you've ever seen the movie Winter's Bone, it was filmed in Christian, Greene, and Taney Counties in Missouri. I used to work for the Christian County Sheriff's Office and could point out so many inaccuracies in that movie, but it's entertainment.

By the way, thank you for your service!!

Don't think we'll get more Beta-builds, because the latest Beta is quit stable.

Samsung is testing the -C- builds now (NO -Z- builds anymore), and that table is just an indication (look at the S9-series)...

I expect Note9 official release late this month (maybe) of January 2019
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I've got 16 years on the job as well.

It is stable, but not perfect. Samsung is still working on some fixes (i.e. gestures not working with S-Pen). And there actually was a newer Z Build on FOTA the other day. ZRLL, I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
There was indeed a "3rd Beta" in Korea, not (yet) released for the "International" and/or "US"-model...

Currently, CRLP is on FOTA...

Maybe an early "New Years"-gift? ;)

Merry X-Mass :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I see CRLP for the 960F. CRLL is showing for the U, which is a slightly older build. The U1 is showing some ancient ARE4 build.

And Merry Christmas to you as well!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wroder84:
I have the Verizon Note 9 in the US. will this flash work for this? also will the OTA updates continue after installing this through odin.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cshort0982:
If you ODIN the U1 firmware and enroll in the beta program you will get OTA Pie Beta updates but will not get Verizon updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] wroder84:
When this thing is finally official will I have to revert back so moving forward I'm on the Verizon updates, and is being on the Verizon updates does that really mean anything anyway in this situation?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bassman418:
I also have a Verizon variant and have been flashing these leaks for months. The last few have been practically perfect. 0 issues at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThaGeNeCySt:
I did a search and couldnt find anything. I'm using the official One UI beta on an unlocked Note 9 (T-Mobile is my carrier)... I noticed in the review, there was a paragraph about using Advanced Messaging. How did that piece get activated? Or is there an unofficial "T-Mobile" version of the One UI alpha / beta?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Some people say they have been able to install Google Carrier Services from the Play Store and enable RCS on TMO. I have not tried it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThaGeNeCySt:
Thanks... I installed Carrier services but don't know what to do / try to check if it's actually doing anything. Still no "chat" options in stock messenger, and Chat is grayed out in Android Messages (if not default messenger) and disappears when default messenger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
If definitely only works with Android Messages, but looking back, those who report it working are all using Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I'm on a C build (tmo) and I have chat as an option in the stock messenger. Read receipts and typing indicators as well as Nick name options
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Because C is not U1 firmware. The official beta is U1, which does not offer those features on TMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
U won't get "chat" options in the stock Samsung messaging app using a U1 oreo or pie build. You lost this when flashed to U1. Only option you have is to use Android messaging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Yeaup I understand that. But you also said it only works on Android messages. Unless you mean it only works on Android messages on the U1 build.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Correct. Since they are running U1, my reply was geared towards it. I'm happier without RCS myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
I don't see why it makes a difference that would make someone happier or sadder. It's progress on a dated protocol. Why would someone not want it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
TMO initially used their own implementation of RCS, which was flaky when sending larger images/videos over WiFi Calling. Since my primary office is a concrete building situated in Band 4, it requires me to use WFC for reception. My phones were useless for MMS or group texts while at work. This was with Samsung, LG, and HTC.

Prior to the forced implementation with Nougat, it could be disabled by just installing another app such as Textra. But once Nougat included a form of RCS that could not be turned off on TMO firmware, I was forced to use Samsung Messages. If I used another app, any messages sent from a TMO RCS device would never come through until I switched away from Textra or even Android Messages, back to the stock app. This may not seem like a big deal now that Samsung Messages is no longer a hot mess, but I'd rather stick with good old fashioned SMS/MMS until TMO universally rolls out true RCS. At which point I will welcome it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
I'm a little confused maybe, but are Z (latest on firmware.science is dec12) or the C builds (latest dec22) more stable? Also, i'm assuming i'll need to flash back to the U firmware (vs the U1) once there is an official release if I want the OTAs from VZW?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
The latest C build is newer than the latest Z build. Both are perfectly stable. You don't need to do anything unless you want to. Once you're back on C firmware with U1, you'll get updates directly from Samsung. If you choose to go back to U firmware, you'll get updates from Verizon once again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
And the C builds are from joining the beta program, yeah? I'm guessing the Z builds have to be flashed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
No. The C builds are leaks for U firmware. The Z builds are the real beta builds, and only exist for U1. The Z builds are what beta participants are getting delivered OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I have flashed both, but currently on C build to retain all carrier features. As far as which one is more stable, there seems to be a see-saw effect with each update. Issues get fixed on one but not the other, and then vice-versa. Neither one greatly out shines the other. If you want to retain your carrier features, go with C. If you want to receive OTA updates, without having to go through the setup process each time, go with Z.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themisterwilson:
Well, ain't that a *****... Don't want to set things back up all the time, but I do want use the VZW cloud. Son of a gun!

Thanks ape and ChuckD, thought you'd be from Houston with that chuckD & 610 lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
You don't have to wipe every time you flash an update file. That's just an AT&T thing and only on U firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Sorry about not being from Houston......lol. If it's any relief, I spent a week with my family last month in Sugar Land. My aunt an uncle moved there from Thousand Oaks about 6 yrs. ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ThaGeNeCySt:
Yeah I bought unlocked from Samsung so I never had it. I'll wait for t mo to push out RCS to the rest of us in 2030
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Ok .. I've been doing this for a long time .. and this one has me frazzled !!

I have the Sprint SM-N960U currently on ARJ9 (8.1) .. now, I can go back to ARJ5 in order to at least get CRJ6 on .. but I'm not seeing anywhere to get higher than that from CRJ6 !

I know from Fota, CRLL is the latest, which is not available yet .. but has anyone on here with the Sprint version have the latest Pie release installed ?

Mind sharing what steps you took to get there ?

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Ah, that's because you don't want ARJ5 at all. The current stable base for all leaks is ARJA (soon to become something else). So you'll want to start with that Odin image instead. Then you can (and should) flash CRLJ, which is the very latest leaked Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Where can I obtain a full ODIN release of ARJA ?

And what carrier is that release from ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
It's floating around here on XDA. Search and you'll find a direct link to download it.

As far as which carrier it's for: U is U. All builds will function on all CSCs. This build happened to go OTA for ATT, but it doesn't matter. I'm on Verizon and have been using OTAs for ATT this entire time. You won't see anything different.

Plus, you won't be on ARJA for long. :) You can even do this while process without a factory wipe if you go directly from download mode to recovery and flash Pie after Odin finishes (YMMV), I've done it successfully multiple times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Found the AT&T ODIN N960USQS1ARJA .. downloading now - thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Disable auto reboot in Odin to make going directly from download mode to recovery easier. Enjoy Pie and keep that ARJA image around. You'll be needing it later on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LordGeek:
Success .. done and done :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Just pulled the trigger and ended up on N960U with Baseband version of N960SQU1CRKE by following the link in the OP when I meant to go on the U1 with ability for OTA update lol.... A quick question (I know it's quite a beat up one...), if I head over to firmware science, exactly which update should I look for so I can manually update mine? I can't seem to find the right fit there... Thanks a lot for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Is this required for VZW? My TMO device auto reboots into recovery and then waits for me to either wipe or just tell it to reboot into the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Odin ARJA then flash CRLJ
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
I have no idea. I just know if I let Odin do its thing with auto reboot enabled, the device will reboot into the new firmware right away (which of course includes wiping the device if regular CSC was used).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I've never had my Note 9 auto wipe anything, including when using the normal CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
Well that's the definition of regular CSC (vs. HOME_CSC), so I would say you've been very fortunate on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
Mine has never wiped either. Reboots to recovery and waits for me to reboot, wipe, or flash next update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] w2830:
Do I need to downgrade to oreo first? Well, I was hoping there's an update to the latest I can flash in recovery and be done with it while waiting for the official built to come out. Sorry it unfortuntely bought out some more stupid questions..Really apreciate your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daviddem:
Just Odin to ARJA and then in recovery Apply CRL9 then CRLG which is the latest. I did that and my phone didnt get wiped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Sorry mate let me correct you CRLJ is the latest AT&T firmware Pie, all the leaks on science thats from Firmware U is pulled from AT&T server, then science gets it from AT&T server.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] daviddem:
CRLJ is dated December 20 but CRLG December 22 and is listed under CRL9

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

I know my alphabet. But it looks like firmware science doesnt know that as it dated latest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
That's just the date the file was uploaded to firmware science not the date it was created. The kernel build date in CRLG is older than the build date in CRLJ. For CRLJ, it is Dec 19 22:20:20 KST 2018. What does CRLG say?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Science firmware just made a mistake that's all, CRLJ is latest, all these builds come directly from AT&T server, science is not the AT&T server . I know what i am talking about, I'm one that pulls them straight out of AT&T server.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
I what world has G came after J. Go on... Speak your ABCs...
