While rooting is a solution to the Samsung crapware, it trips the Knox flag and therefore voids your warranty. I've done my share of rooting and ROM installs on other devices, but those were either out of warranty or able to be restored back to a stock config to maintain warranty.

It's nice to have a phone where rooting and all that isn't necessary because it doesn't have much/any extraneous crap.

As I said, if Samsung had made a GPE/Android One version of the S9 I would have bought it over the pixel 3 for sure.

Hopefully the pixel 4 will bring back the jack and the SD card, keep the stereo speakers, and further reduce the bezels with no notch on the non-xl.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] chewy74:
I currently have a s9+SM-G965U1 and on the fence about trading it for a pixel 3 xl. I love the s9 hardware, but hate the software side of it.

If I find a good enough sale on black Friday, or cyber Monday for a pixel 3 xl I think I'll pull the trigger on the switch
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scgf:
I installed an app called Fluid Navigation on my Pixel 3. It replaces the Android Pie navigation with something much better and does not have any on-screen controls. You just swipe like on the iPhone XS. The big benefit is that you gain the extra screen space previously taken up with the Pie navigation controls. It requires an adb command to allow it to write to the system but once this has been done you can use it and switch back and forth very easily should you wish to. Lots of optins - a quick flick up from the bottom of the screen takes you home, a flick up and hold momentarily shows open apps. A swipe from the right edge goes back and a swipe and hold allows you to switch between the two most recent apps. All swipes are configurable. I have turned off audio feedback and just use haptic feedback. Very nice.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] KejPi:
I have S8 at the moment and thinking if it is worth to switch to Pixel 3. I always liked pure Android but with Pixel 3 as it is I have a lot of doubts. I would like to the Pixel camera but overall hardware design is not nice with bad screen to body ratio and all the issues with RAM management people are complaining scare me. I suppose that Google is going to fix it at some point in time - probably later than sooner, but it should not be present at all for Android flagship.

So is it really worth to switch or not?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] beanaman:
Get the pixel 3. I just got it and I am Soo happy to be free of all the Samsung crapwear on my old s7 edge. I totally agree with you about the double ecosystem thing.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex-V:
I had a s9 before..and the double apps from Samsung kill me..why do I need a email app if Gmail is included..why I need a calendar app (s-planer) if you can use Google calendar..why I need a Samsung photos app if Google photos is included..i could wrote forever more examples for this..now with the pixels 3 it feels so pure and homecoming..also the updates.. everyone say why Android phones had such a bad update circle for the software..I don't understand people why they buy other non Google phones ..

Just my 2 cents
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
Pretty much because the EU states you shouldn't be forced to use only googles apps. Samsung does this the right way. You have the option to use either.

This is what the hide function on launchers is for. Personally I prefer samsungs apps to googles apps. Photos is ok for backing up but pants as a gallery.

Email I use for my works emails as google loves to get into everything and mix up the accounts.

As for Pixel 2 xl vs S9, the Pixel 2 XL is a better phone for normal phone use. Better camera, better battery, better VR. If it was vs the S9 plus, it would be S9 plus is better at everything, except camera.

p.s to the op : Don't upgrade it's not worth it.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alex-V:
So we say..it's ok that on an iPhone is only apple software ..don't get me wrong..I understand that eu decision ..but

..and don't forget Knox..after I tripped Knox..also after I flashed original software back..you can't use some functions ..for example the backup passwords thing from Samsung
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eswarvf:
I dont like samsung design and storage space which i dont mind as i am a casual user.

Pixel has the great camera though. And some stuff right out of the box. No need of custom rom. Root it and play with it.

[MENTION=3670210]jntdroid[/MENTION]...try this app for the Bixby button...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton

I've been using it for a few months now, and it really works well.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
I've had the S9 since it came out and it's a great phone but like everyone else I don't like all the bloatware and I want to be able to root and install custom ROM's. I have the unlocked US version so I can't root my S9. I'm close to getting the Pixel 3 but in my opinion they should have priced it around 650 instead of 800 and not gone away with the headphone jack. What to do, oh what to do.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Archangel:
I had the S9 before the Pixel 3 and I have to say they are very comparable phones. Both are made very well,,,have their own set of problems, but def great phones. While I had both at the same time if you place them side by side they almost look identical. I will say that once the S9 gets Pie you wont be able to use Substratum themes at all if you have one of the models that can achieve root. This for me, would be one of the main reason to keep the Pixel 3. Plus the Pixel 3 has some really great features that the S9 doesnt have like call screening, night sight, and now playing.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xdevillived666:
The p3 is definitely not a 800+ phone imo. Ridiculous considering it isn't "feature" rich, nor does it bring anything game changing to the phone world. The camera is decent(I was much more impressed when I jumped from 5x to pixel 1), the performance can be replicated on any phone with stock Android, the lack of headphone jack irks me, and I don't like that Google is locking their stuff down more and more with every phone release.

That being said, I can't stand Sammy crapware, I dislike the UI (I know, custom launchers) and yeah. That's it from me.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
Ordered the Pixel 3 and sending it back 3 days later. Doesn't work with my Gear S3 watch, no root access, and I didn't realize I'd miss the headphone jack but I do.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] milan187:
What do you mean no Root access? It's like the easiest phone to root. Unless you went through Verizon. Pretty sure it's still a real pain to root Samsung devices if possible at all.

I'll give you the headphone jack but I'm used to USB audio now.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrandMstrBud:
No I tried I believe magisk 18 or whatever is in the guide in here and it didn't work. It installed in TWRP but the app wasn't there when I booted up. Not sure if it was the January update or not but oh well it's sent back now.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolyan:
I am actually debating the same now. I have Pixel 3 and like it, especially the camera, but I think Google monthly updates are overrated since they ways screw something up for me. I am thinking ordering S10+ maybe.... I also have this OCD about useless and double apps installed. Can't you disable them on Samsung?

I like Google apps, I am used to them (been using them since Nexus One lol), so better or worse I would definitely like to at least disable most double apps.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nickporwal:
You can disable the Samsung apps i guess. If its exynos chip based phone then root will also be available anytime soon. Also s10 is supposed to have a great camera as well.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Gir_:
Hey all, just a reminder you don't need root to delete Samsung bloat.

Adb! It's really easy and the how-to guide is right here on this very site. It doesn't trip Knox.

https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

Also, if a user accidentally deletes a critical app while using this method, a factory reset brings it all back and get to try again.

E.g. I don't have bixby, I don't need an app to disable the button, I don't have Galaxy apps at all, Samsung pay still works fine, secure folder works too.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChongoDroid:
I just came from the s9 and it truly is a great phone. Easy to flash leaks and new builds.

I still prefer vanilla Android.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolyan:
Can you use Google Pay on Samsung phones?
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jco23:
yes, I did on my S8.

as others mentioned, everything worked on Samsung, but the main issue is that Samsung is trying to compete with your operating system. think of it as having two bosses to report to.

I switched from Samsung to Google b/c I kept hitting that stupid Bixby button by mistake and there is only small speaker on the bottom of the phone. often times, I would hold the phone landscape, watching a video, and my had would accidentally cover the speaker. also, I like having a smaller phone, as my hands would cramp up holding it landscape. since the P3 is slightly shorter, no more cramping.

plus, got $450 off the P3, so couldn't beat that.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] propov:
I have both. First have a P3. But missed of SD and get S9. S9 is better than S8 and have good battery life. But this stupid Amoled with NO natural white and curved screen is... not for me. And laggy, laggy Ui. I use OTG for more memory and now the Pixel is my baby.

Ah and this overexposed camera in Samy is catastrophic. All pictures is like washed.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrsyamsul:
Im using s9 for around 2 month now, for few week use origional firmware seems phone feel quite hot and battery drain fast, camera also not impress like other pic like washed.

Then I installed custom rom but not rooted. Phone performance is very smooth, no more hot issue, battery life is amazing from 6am in the morning until 12pm fir next charging.

Picture quality also far more better, clear and sharp also brightness. I think maybe because increase the limit by enabled full level capability in camera2 api

I also own pixel 3 but one ui feel more nice feel.

I think for daily usage s9 is more practical to me.

If ask me what is p3 over s9 is only selfie camera.
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cindylike24:
Personally, I went from a Samsung Galaxy S8 to a Google Pixel 3 and am glad that I made this move. The S8 phones seemed to have a screen burn-in issue after owning for about a month or so which drove me nuts. I don't miss the headphone jack and all the bloat that seemed to come with the S8 phones.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] TheCloudOne:
Hello Everyone, I was running miui 10 beta weekly when I stopped getting software updates - which I assume was because the stable version was out. So I thought of trying out custom ROMs but sadly, none of the ROMs give me as much SOT as miui 10. I'm on RR 6.2.0 with TWRP. I downloaded the official miui 10.0.1.0 ROM but I'm unable to flash it in TWRP. Is there any way to install it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] TheCloudOne:
And it's a Redmi Note 5 AI Global Variant, but now in settings of Official RR 6.2.0 it says "Redmi Note 5 Pro" which is the Indian Variant, can that be the reason why I'm unable to flash the Redmi Note 5 Global Stable ROM?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Lazer Bear:
If you want to go back to fully stock I'd recommend to use Miflash, the official Xiaomi flashing utility. Just go to en.miui.com to download latest rom for your device and follow the instructions on there to install.

[Honor Play Questions & Answers] sc754:
I had this problem when I upgraded to android pie. I went back to 8.2 in the end to get stablisation back, and since the stable pie version wasen't stable. Just a tip, if you are using Oreo then you should be able to get 3k video stabilisation using Opencamera or Ultracorder (I use the latter). You just have to choose the resolution 3264 x 1840 and enable EIS. In my opinion it looks much better than stablised 1080p.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] pja1985430:
I still don't understand why it's removed from the camera Setting in Android Pie.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] sc754:
They must have disabled Camera2API or something because it doesn't work on 3rd party apps either. Maybe submit a bug report? I'm glad I went back to Oreo, there was too much stutter on Pie and I had frequent problems.

Hi,

Got a HTC pharos today in replacement of a touch (broken, change by orange many times last month but since they only provide crappy refurbished mobiles....). Pretty satisfied so far. I don t miss htc cube that much... I don t miss Wifi yet (only use it when on holidays, that is to say almost never muhaha). GPS is nice... No more bluetooth head to carry in my already too full pockets.

So, let's start with my problem). It has a built in GPS, just like the cruise. After toying a bit with my new phone... and after I have configured the gps, I have noticed that a GPRS connection is launched each time I launch the GPS (TomTom that I had to install since those stupid techs from orange thought it was good to remove from their rom and replace by by their ****ty home made navigator).

Have you noticed that kind of connection. Do you know how I could prevent this (even though it doesn't cost me a buck, since I have set a blank GPRS by default). Could be a thing or two that could be modified in the registry but cannot find it yet...

Sorry I post in the cruise section but there is no pharos section yet (please Admins.... listen to my prayer)
[Touch Cruise General] darkazally:
your phone may have "assisted" GPS (AGPS) enabled, thats why it is attempting a data connection. This feature is designed to locate you faster when the satelite signals are week.

You may/may not need a registry editor to disable this feature...
[Touch Cruise General] mikealder:
That phone does have aGPS, if you don't want it trying to grab a data connection go to Start/ Programs/ QuickGPS select Menu/ Options and de-select the "Auto download when data expires"

I find that if you use the GPS daily you don't need the aGPS data, it will work just as well without. Also TomTom itself could be requesting the data connection if you have enabled any of the Plus services - Mike
[Touch Cruise General] aleph305:
right ...

AGPS = Assisted GPS

HKLM/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS/EnableAGPS

1 = on

2 = off

http://ghisler.fileburst.com/cebeta3/tcmdpocket25_armpubbeta3.exe

its a free file commander / reg editor / ftp client .... all you need
[Touch Cruise General] katjie:
Hi

Thank you for your help. Couldn't find the quick menu so I edited the registry like Aleph305 said. Working perfectly. Now the GPS starts a few seconds after I launch TomTom.

I do not use plus services so I will not miss AGPS a lot.
