How are you seeing it exactly? I'm using the stock app for one email account, and can compare to what you see.

-Edit-

Found the original post. You are correct that starting with Pie, all battery usage is shown, including background use. Added a screenshot of my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Totally agree[emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] funziebear:
You my friend are awesome :p it was that I just put the transparency to 100%
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Yes, stock email app appears to constantly run in the background. Even manually adding it to always sleeping brings it back out of that optimization mode. Just curious more than anything about its background use. More so when all email accounts are set to manually sync.

Could someone walk me through on how to exactly sideload the ZRKP update? I have the update on my SD card inside of my PC. I create an ADB session then i type '[space]sideload[space]" then drag the update into the window and press enter and it fails and then when i do the same process but add ADB[space]sideload[space] and drop the file it says its not recognized?

EDIT: When i use ADB sideload it says no devices/emulators found

For those that don't like the one UI dark theme color this theme works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
What build is your phone on right now?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
ZRKP im trying to sideload ZRL7 (typo in first post)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexVision:
Did u put your phone in sideload mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Ok, Make sure the update zip is in the same folder as your ADB files and drivers on your PC. Then ADB sideload from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
Ok, this was my problem I didn't know they had to be in the same directory as my adb. I'll give this a try and report back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllTheWay:
Good to see you again old friend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] tnick84:
They really doesn't need to be. Just type "adb sideload (don't forget a space after this)" then just drag and drop the update.zip to the cmd pane. It will automatically populate it location. Then press enter. Works Everytime for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexVision:
The path to the file does not matter as long as it is correct.

Based on your own post above (EDIT: When i use ADB sideload it says no devices/emulators found) this is not your problem your problem is your phone is not being detected well maybe you have multiple problems but begin with that one.

You need to make sure you are in sideload mode on your phone if you receive a message that says no devices that has nothing to do with the file.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Good to see you too. Made my way back from LG after the V30 debacle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] splkia:
Aside from the colors and icons does this change much more of one ui? And where can I find it. On zrl7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
I use ADB alot but I've never side loaded an update.zip before. I put my phone in "sideload" mode (recovery mode, and select update from adb right?)

Once I do that I do my normal ritual of things, I run ADB Devices to see if it detects my phone (nothing shows). I have the update.zip on my sd card which is in an adapter inside of the PC. Ran [space]sideload[space]>update.zip<. That didn't work. I moved the update from the card to my desktop and ran the same command and it didnt work either. I also tried the Adb sideload >update.zip< and it didnt work. I'm sure the drivers are present because when the phone is on the normal software my phone is detected and I can use all functions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Is USB debugging toggled "on" in developer options?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexVision:
If ADB devices shows nothing that is where you need to stop you can not load anything if the phone is not detected double check drivers kill and restart adb server.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
Will do thanks for the tips I'll give it a try. However when I'm able to do this on the regular software i get a popup asking to accept the key from the PC I accept it and all is good. Should I permanently accept it and then try this method as I wouldn't be able to accept such key in sideload mode right? Could this be the issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NexVision:
You may be dead on.

Double check what is above. Most likely a driver issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
On ZRL7. Part of the official beta. Been on ZRL7 since it was released Tuesday. I'm on T-Mobile.

I use Google Voice as my primary number for calls and texts. Up until today, I've been receiving call just fine. Then suddenly today, I've been getting voicemails, but my phone never rang and no missed call notification.

If I call my carrier number, the phone rings as normal. If I call my GV number, nothing.

I pulled out my Note 8, which is also set up with GV, and has an active T-Mo SIM in it. Called my GV number, and the Note 8 rings, but nothing from my Note 9.

I went through and reset the app, set it up from scratch, checked all settings, tried it with WiFi calling, no WiFi calling, you name it. And it won't ring my Note 9, but rings my Note 8.

GV was updated two days ago, but it was working last night, so I don't think it's the GV update. But that also means it was working on ZRL7, since I've been running it since Tuesday. But the fact that it works on the Note 8 running Oreo 8.1, so that narrows it down to the Note 9 on Pie.

I'm out of ideas....anyone else use GV who can test it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Peezoslug:
Any substratum or swift installer overlays? Any Google apps that are beta? Both of these have been giving me issues so I uninstalled all overlays and switched back to stable Google apps...if all else fails try factory reset in my opinion...My Google Voice is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
No substratum, overlays, or any themes at all.

The only Google beta app is the Google app itself, but that shouldn't affect the GV app or incoming calls. Like I said, it was working just fine last night and I've made no changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dominicstg2:
I have swift installed works fine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I'm not on the official beta, but GV is working for me. I don't have GV process all of my calls, however calls/texts coming into it do work as expected.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
After resetting, uninstalling, reinstalling GV app on BOTH phones, swapping SIM cards back and forth, and restarting both phones, all multiple, multiple time, I finally got it working again. Not sure what the issue was, or if it will happen again, but for now it's all working fine. It was really weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
Anyone know what the app "wizard room" is? I noticed it when selecting apps to put to sleep. It doesn't show up in the app drawer, and Google was no help at all. Not sure if it's an android thing or a Pie thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Waynestuckart:
ZRLB coming?

Released in Korea

Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie beta getting an update in South Korea https://www.sammobile.com/2018/12/16/galaxy-note-9-android-pie-beta-update-south-korea/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thecarp1975:
Not sure if this is a bug on ZRL7. When I enable dark mode in Android Messages, it turns on night mode for the entire system UI, thus taking taking it out of auto mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
I reported that in Samsung members. They are aware and working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RogueList:
I just falshed a u1 unlocked firmware on my note 9 n960u so instead of that its now a u1 device and registered for the beta in the samsung+ app and i can get the updates ota instead of flashing it and having to use adb
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
You were able to get in the beta program via Samsung+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RogueList:
Yea just flashing a unlocked u1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I guess the beta program is open again. I missed the first round.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RogueList:
Well for me the beta program wouldnt even pop up until i flashed a u1 unlocked firmware then open samsung+ app and the program popped up to register
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
If you don't get a prompt to download the beta in the next day or so, that's likely an indication that it's closed.

IDK if they open a slot when someone leaves the beta program, but, this late in the game, there's likely a lot of people in line ahead of you.

You can still sideload via the Firmware Science site, but, AFAIK, doing so keeps you from getting updates from Samsung, you'll have to continually update via sideloading, even if you remain in the beta program.

Once an official stable U1 One UI rolls out (supposedly next month) IDK if you'll get prompted via Samsung, or, if you'll have to downgrade to the latest stable 8.1 & go from there.

That's too far down the road to worry about anyway,so, if you want the beta, you're likely going to have to grab it from Firmware Science.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RogueList:
I already got in i flashed a u1 unlocked firmware yesterday and registered no problem im on the latest beta as of now witch ZRL7
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Cool,seems to be some randomness in who's getting it & who's not,despite the conventional wisdom of 1st come,1st served.

Some have reported getting it almost immediately after signing up & others hear nothing regardless of when they signed-up.

I didn't have the patience to wait more than a day or so,I jumped on the Firmware Science sideload.

I may go back to stock/stable 8.1 U1 anyway,the only difference of note to me is better standby battery time & it wasn't a pressing issue anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vimpircik:
Hi everyone.

Just loaded the beta 2 file and working almost perfeclty but phone recents log stopped working yesterday and not logging the calls (received, called or missed). Does anyone know the fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
ZRL7?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vimpircik:
No. Beta 2 aka ZRL6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
You mean CRL6?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
No, official betas start with Z, leaked carrier builds start with C.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
Exactly, I think he flashed a leaked firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
I've been on those as well. Currently on CRL9. Only new issues from CRL4 is contact pictures don't display during incoming calls, and Timely started crashing after I added a new alarm sound from my SD card. Existing sound was in the same directory, so no idea why it suddenly doesn't like that folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If you're on ZRL6, then you must have a N960F Exynos. There probably won't be anyone in this thread to help you, since we are all Snapdragon models and either on the official beta ZRL7, or on leaked C builds. You might pop into the Exynos Beta thread (it's usually just above or below this one), and check there.

The only thing I can think of is clearing data and cache on contacts and the phone app, then resyncing them with Samsung Cloud. That will wipe all your phone data from your phone, but resyncing SHOULD restore it. SHOULD being the operative word.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
I enrolled my wife's note 9 on the beta program yesterday. Successfully installed it also.

However, I had to follow the same procedures as I did with my enrollment process.

Open play store, goto Samsung plus app, scroll down and check the box " beta tester" wait and few mins. Then after it successfully enrolled account to Samsung plus beta tester could I then see the option within Samsung plus app to join the beta program.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
To go back to ARH2 from ZRKP (in the attempt to join beta program legitimately). Do i just ODIN ARH2 or Do i ODIN ARH9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
You need to odin ARJ9 for the SM-N960U1.. Then enroll in the beta using the Samsung + Beta app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RogueList:
I flashed my n960u to u1 firmware and got in the beta program no problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptfdmedic:
On CRL9, is anyone else dealing with broken contacts? Dialer works and will display the last dialed number for each contact but if you load contacts by itself, everyone is listed but tapping a name reveals a blank screen and the app crashes...

Sorry if I missed this being discussed previously.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptfdmedic:
If the contacts app is broken for you, the easy workaround for now is using Google contacts instead.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jpyle:
I had to change to Google contacts as the problem resurfaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Y0sHii:
Thanks, i thought as much I just didn't know if it mattered between the two fimwares.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] poncespr:
I did the same. It was pretty easy. No more worrying about downloading updates and going through all the hurdles to keep up to date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Working OK for me. Only issue I have with contacts is their pictures not showing up during incoming calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vipermg13!:
I can confirm that I have the SM-N960U and I flashed the U1 unlocked firmware from firmware science. Then i downed loaded the Samsung + beta APK from apkmirror and I was able to register for the Pie Beta program!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chuckd610:
I am on CRL9 and not having any of the issues you are having with contacts. It may be something specific to you alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cristi10:
Question. Does the beta improve standby time, especially on 4g?

Can't happen. There's already a CRLB. Next slot is ZRLE. No build has appeared yet. Although reports are CRLD are very solid.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
CRLD

Anyone else notice the sound when plugging in the charger is different?

Now to see if the BT behavior is fixed when I go to work tomorrow. When I first got the Galaxy Watch, once I left my car and BT disconnected from the phone, my watch would also drop the connection. This stopped after a few updates, but came back with the Pie leaks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] darkjedi:
Any lag? The randomness of it made me go back to the OP 6T until it got fixed. The random 1-5 second pauses every few minutes were too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
No lag issues whatsoever if you clean install. It's the dirty flashes that cause problems.

With CRLD, the new One UI is almost ready for prime time. Definitely on track for a January release. Just keeps getting more stable. Solid update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJMatt91:
Finally decided after I've had enough ODIN wipes and CRLxx updates. Seems that CRLD is out. I decided to flash ODIN to U1 ARJ9 firmware, setup and was able to register for the OneUI Beta instantly. I didn't get the updates so sideloaded the ARJ9 to ZRKP. Seems to be running smooth as butter. OTA to ZRL7 was a breeze :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] BobaHeisenberg:
Beta is open

Hassle free install with ota updates was as simple as can be! My Note 9 is Sprint Locked USA, was on the latest firmware update which was N960USQS1ARJ9 (think it was late Oct or 1st of Nov.) Downloaded Odin3 Patched, SM-N960U1UES1ARJ9 firmware zip and flashed the BL, AP, CP and CSC MD5 files with no issues.. Installed latest Samsung + beta from apkmirror, cleared the apps cache/data and rebooted. Opened the app and signed into my Samsung acct and One UI Beta banner was there.. Register then wait for the ota... (Rebooted my phone again and the update was there)

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 AM ----------

2nd update for December 1st just came as well..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyApe18:
When you experience that ease of use, it sure makes flashing leaks unappealing. Glad you got in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Has anyone that is using the beta had an issue with text notification not sounding if connected to bluetooth in car? Whenever I flash back to Oreo I get the sound notification if connected to bluetooth in car. But since I use the update.zip like CRL4 and L9 now CRLD the text notification does not sound while connected to bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] poncespr:
I managed to get themes working on the official beta ZRL7 by downloading the latest themes apk from apk mirror. It only shows me around 5 themes, none of them free, but my previously purchased themes show up and i can download them. Most have issues with the color scheme, but I did find at least one so far that looks ok (high contrast sky black).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Well spoke to soon phone keeps crashing on CRLD
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FtaWolf:
What was u doing when crash happened?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Sorry I meant phone app itself. Will not hang up after a call. Just started doing it about 2hrs ago while at work. Keep getting pop up "phone has stopped".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Are you playing back any media over Bluetooth, or is the phone just connected? I use Android Auto most of the time, and sounds work as expected there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Just on calls. Its all good going back to ARJA, phone call app keeps crashing will not let me hang up after a call..did all the tricks clearing cache and such. No biggie I know these update.zips are not polished products so not gonna cry about it to much..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vipermg13!:
Anyone notice when using the official Pie Beta that MMS pictures are very low in quality. I found the picture size is only 100kb! If I use s different test message app it works fine. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emd1187:
That's strange. I'm in official beta too but my pictures are in good quality on MMS
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Not sure if it's a bug or not, but I have gestures turned on, and they work great (especially since I figured out how to activate Google Assistant). But I also often navigate with my SPen, and gestures will NOT work with the SPen. I have to use my fingers to activate Back, Recents, or Home. Very annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
If not a bug, it's quite stupid. Atleast they should change to regular navigation bar when spen is pulled out. Like that it's super uncomfortable. Someone in the beta should report it to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yup. I'll report it right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
It's probably gonna be fixed in the next drop since they fixed it in the leaked build.

Or at least I think someone in here said they were fixed on the news leak
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If they did, I must've missed it. I've read every page of this thread and I don't remember anyone mentioning using the SPen for gestures. But like I said, I may have missed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] hkjxda:
My gestures work just fine with the S Pen on the latest CRLD build. Did you clean install?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mclaudio:
hi there. is there anyway to install beta without using odin?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm on ZRL7. No I just took the OTAs from Oreo since I'm part of the beta. But that's good news if they work on CRLD. Means they should work on the next official beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] NotATreoFan:
Made some test calls out and in, no problems hanging up calls. CRLD also fixed broken contact pictures.

Also for others posting about the S-Pen, gestures work on CRLD, so they should be fixed in the U1 OTA that comes next.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
That depends. What build are you on right now?
