[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
Sadly, samsung implemented a multiwindow close to how google do it and killed their great android versions multitasking ability. It's really not only annoying, but strange why they removed something that they were praised for in android 7 and 8 and before. At this point I better get an iphone as the multitasking is the same (irony).

To show you how rushed (and this sound even funnier given how much time they had) the android 9 is, I will just tell you that you can swipe home-hold and it will run google assistant (like the older home button hold). It's like common sense that they could had done that to recents too - swipe up and hold for instant split screen, but nope, they didn't. Never mis triggered the assistant when going home, so this is not the reason.

Also they removed the menu between two split screen apps, so if you want to switch their places (for example youtube and viber so you can watch the video that is on the bottom while typing) - touch luck b*tch, now you need to close both and open again in the right order rofl (also there was popout there in the same menu). They removed so many key functionalities on a phone promoted BY THEM for multitasking and staying on oreo is not an option for obvious many reasons.

Edit: also the exynos note 9 drop frames in the UI like it did @ oreo if not worse (after it's settled down)... so you got also that. ;)

Issue that i have is in settings, security if i deactivate the Find my Device option, when i restart my phone the option has been reactivated. Also sometimes the full screen gestures so working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] SteveReno:
Which Note 9 do you have? I believe it's not the US Ver.?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mwyann:
I took advice from another XDA user*: I installed an app called Edge Gestures https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.edgegestures which is helpful in restoring a fast switch back / split screen method.

Yeah sorry Samsung but your one ui is garbage, looks horrible and I can't stand looking at this navigation bar everywhere, no auto hide option at all now? I switch to the gestures option instead but swipe up for recents doesn't work at all. Also no update to their own good lock app and without that my phone looks even more like trash lol The notification panel is horrible, just a big white block with some blue buttons, my good lock one was so nice, also back to the boring old task switcher :( I was looking forward to this update so much, but it looks like arse...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
It's not.

It's international n960f Exynos version, but anyway there should not be any difference in the software itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
There is also a workaround with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.fluid

It's even more prettier, but to be honest, I'm tired of using ADB, rooting and so on.

I had note 2 and note 4, rocking custom roms since beginning, but now I just want everything to be original, and logical.

I have no clue what the f were they doing while in beta, I mean, come on, no fast switching to the previous app if screen gestures are hidden.

*Amazing*
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
Feature and productivity wise it's really a big downgrade. Also those notifications that take the whole screen... seriously. No thought put at all. All is done considering galaxy s10, I am sure of that... and especially nothing was done considering the note 9, even the rounded corners are matched for the s9 rofl.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jostian:
Only things that a peeving me on Pie is the fact that I have never in my life used Duo or installed it but in my settings/accounts it shows Duo, I remove it but after rebooting phone its back??? that and the inability to deactivate Find my Device, I deactivate it, but after rebooting phone its reactivated again... any ideas (maybe with ADB to sort these 2 issues out?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Lol. Yep , noticed that on pie beta that I'm currently running .

screen flickering when calling

Hello guys!

I have updated to one ui on my international galaxy note 9

I have an issue, the screen flickers when I make a call, it's very annoying, anyone facing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tech4blog:
thank you for sharing information <3 :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
I personally do not care about security updates at all.

As I said, I've used custom roms for years.

There are neither updates nor you know what are you installing on your phone.. So, you get it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] florin_stann:
Hi

Just go to Google settings and shut down the "app preview" capability. Duo will disapear.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
Nope, I'm fine.

No issues whatsoever except those stupid things regarding design and system itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kgptzac:
Does anyone know in Pie if there's a version of Always On Display where it display a new notification?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iNTER5LOve:
Thats because you turn off screen animations from developer options

Just turn it on again and try
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jostian:
Doesn't matter how many times i deactivate it, it reactivated itself... Hope this and the Duo bug in Settings, Accounts (a Duo acct shows up even though there is no Duo installed) get fixed in the next update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] florin_stann:
I think "Find my Device" is part of the Google ecosystem, therefore you can only fully disable it if you remove your Google account from your phone.

The Duo problem never existed for me, i have disabled it from "App preview messages" in Google settings.

Many thanks, appreciated

Not sure what's caused it but it's just since the upgrade.

I shoot a video with slo-mo, I edit it on the phone and save it to Windows 10 laptop.

On the lappy, the icon looks normal with a preview but it plays a blank screen - 3 videos today, all the same (using Windows Films & TV player) tried to edit them in Microsoft Movie Maker - blank again (black) again.

They play in VLC's player though?

Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dccoh:
I'm glad I'm not alone. Just got Pie, turned on gestures, and cant get recents to come up when using gestures at all :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] beta546:
I had to factory reset to fix it. But even after that the UI is still really glitchy and just not a nice experience. I really don't enjoy using this phone at all now since updating :( I really hope they fix it, and soon, but seeing as it took them 5 months to release pie for a phone that came out after pie was released, I'm not gunna hold my breath.

Really disappointed in Samsung, I had no reason at all to root this phone, first ever android device that I didn't instantly root and play with custom ROMs, but since that update it ruined my experience and the moment I have the time to sit down and do it, I will be rooting and going custom. Which is okay I guess, but I shouldn't have been forced into it by a ****ty glitchy update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Goku80:
I'm using gestures and all three gestures work fine ladies.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pdagenius:
Am trying this App. I have to say it adds some useful custom "swipe" abilities to Pie. Worth a look ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dcemtp1:
Same, if a factory reset works for me Ill be happy. Gonna give it a shot monday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dccoh:
I didnt want to have to set everything up again but was also getting issues with the led not coming on when it should.

So I did a factory reset last night.

Gestures and the led work fine now.

The only other issue for me is the call screen flickering when receiving a phone call. Haven't made any calls yet to see if it affects that too. I'll live with it but I hope there is a hotfix for it soon.

Edit: Looks like if you set animations to .5 (not to none) that the call screen flashing goes away. At least on my phone.

I shall stay on it until pie changers for the better.

Older phones that are no longer supported have no security issues?

You can't swap windowed apps any more

You cannot resize an app into a pop up window by dragging from the top left like you could with previous versions

Samsung have effectively crippled their own excellent multi-tasking capabilities to appease Google it seems

Lock key delay

Any one with slight delay while locking the phone with power key. Also while unlocking with finger print there is slight delay with at times small glimpse of lock screen

More issues:

When you enable "Full screen gestures" under Navigation bar settings, the Samsung keyboard leaves the same gap at the bottom of the screen where the navigation bar usually resides. I've also tried the floating keyboard and it refuses to go below that area
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vandal4e:
that's not an issue it's functioning as intended , keyboard too low is deemed uncomfortable
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] thecrater:
Surely it's my decision though?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] xtrocata:
Didn't even realise that was thing since I've been using gboard all my life.

Now I think I gotta get used to using samsung's keyboard since it's so much more comfortable.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
Or to promote a "new" super good multitasking abilities in android 10 update. Removing a marketed multitasking/multiwindow abilities on a phone that was marketed and sold as a multitasking king... priceless.

This is actually a good one and intentional as other said. I type a lot in portrait, before I got a hand pains, now I don't. The keyboard was too low and you stretched your thumbs too much to reach there. Right now it's tons better from comfort point of view.

Does anyone know how to do "auto rotate" after the update? The icon is missing! I really don't like the icons that the update gave! Do you know how to go back to former icons?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TWiiTCH:
Go to settings > lock screen > then tap on notifications, not the switch but the word "notifications" and set it how you wish. Last scroll to bottom of notification menu I led you to and make sure that "show on always on display" is turned on. Hope this helps.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
Thats the one.

If you cant find it, swipe or hit 3 dots in the top right corner.

I believe its kinda impossible to be missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TWiiTCH:
Is what I circled in blue what you are missing? If so tap 3 dots I circled in red and it should be able to be added from in there. If it's missing from both areas maybe a bug/glitch and try factory reset. May need to be flashed with odin if factory reset does not correct the problem. I'm also sure you've tried this but swipe & check all setting screens as there is usually 2 at least.

Finally i upgraded my note 9 to pie. Battery life is certainly better. But I have 2 issues:

1. I have set a custom screen dpi in developer options to 455 dpi. In oreo it was perfect but in pie somewhere the text is too small like names below the icons, widgets and somewhere the text is too big like clock text in the status bar and text in device care app. Also the icons are way too big in proportion to the text below.

2. I had set swipe down gesture to open the notification panel under homescreen settings in Samsung launcher. It was working perfect in oreo but in pie it sometimes work 1 in 3 tries and sometimes even 1 in 5 tries, i.e., i swipe down on the screen and nothing happens. Whereas swipe up to open the app drawer works perfect without any issues. Strangely if I disable the notification panel gesture, the default action for swipe up or down becomes opening app drawer and it works just fine without any problem. Anyone else noticed this strange behavior?

Fixed: Screen dimming in 90 seconds regardless of settings

Screen timeout is set for 5 or 10 minutes but in about 90 seconds the screen dims. When tapped a padlock shows in the center with a message to swipe up to unlock.

Fix turns out it's a Game Launcher setting called auto lock

I downloaded and installed OTA on T mob and I am amazed by battery life and smoothness of the phone over all. I am driving a lot and driving through different states sometimes using routes and not major highways which means that I am constantly changing towers and modem is working super heavy. I also use Google maps at all times as navigation while driving. So I am real live testing this phone 100%. On all other phones my battery would last like 4,5 or max 5 hours with SOT around 3hours tops(this includes Note 8)

With this new update on Note 9 Samsung did an absolutely job with my battery lasting more than 9 hours with SOT passing 6 hours.(keep in mind that I am HEAVY user). When I am stationary for example in Chicago for few days , battery live is substantially better, even passing 12 hour mark with heavy usage but no Google maps and tower switching.

The only thing I would like is to have battery usage in notifications pull down and better split view multitasking (like before on Oreo) but other than that I am happy camper.

Any way to get around this?

BTW I downloaded app called One Hand Operation + from Google Play store. Its made by Samsung and its for gestures so I put bar on the right side of the screen and then just swipe left from bottom right side to open recents and swipe diagonally down from the same area to do screenshot .

Note 9 Android Pie UI

Upgraded to Android Pie with the OTA Update.

Should have NEVER done it.

Here's Why. Please Everyone Comment on Each of these.

1. No more VoLTE on My Unlocked Note 9. WTF!!!!!!

2. Ring Video Doorbell App Now Needs Access to the Storage to download and store App Sounds. If you don't give it Access, then it uses your system wide Notification Sound Only. WTF!!!

3. Cartoonish looking Icons. Who designed them? Wiley E. Coyote at the ACME Company?

4. Navigation Bar will no longer Auto hide. I have Absolutely No desire for Gesture Navigation at all!!!!!!!!!!

5. When opening Recents, Why the hell are there now More Icons below the Close All Tab?! That's why I have Shortcuts on My Main Screens.

6. Clock moved to the Left. Why? Did someone think that since there wasn't anything always on the Left side of the Notification Bar that the Left side was Lonely?

7. Talking about Icons. Icon Frames. Why the Hell was it removed?!!!! There's some people who have Bad eyesight and can't see stuff that's tiny. I had told My 70+ year old Mom that using a Direct Dial Shortcut would make it Very Easy for Her. Just Look at the person's picture and tap on it and then it would automatically Call that person. With the Icon Frames, the Picture is way too small. Maybe an Accessory after Android Pie should be a Magnifying Glass from now on.

8. Tiny Print would also be the scaled down screen size with the Non Auto Hiding Navigation Bar on the Bottom of the Phone and the Non Auto Hiding Notification Bar on the Top of the Phone.

9. Sling Player App. Now after the Android Pie Update, Sling Player for Android Phones App has Problems where I Have to open and close the App between Every interaction I have with the App. Every Interaction. Open, select, play, pause, rewind, stop, delete, and probably even more. Android, Sling, and Samsung Need to get together on this to get this Fixed ASAFP!!!!!!!!!

Who has also encountered Any and or All of this?

There's a LOT of us that are Tech Savy where We can get around some, most or all of these, but what about the Average person who has No Clue and has to suffer with these and more.

Please Comment, Please Share this, and Let's All speak in unison loud enough for Samsung, Sprint, and Android/Google to take notice and take action in order to Fix what they Messed up.

Well I loved the new ui, I think it looked great, flows really well but I had to go back to 8.1 because of the email sync problem. It won't sync emails and you have to open it everytime you want new email, this is work email not gmail , stock Samsung email app which I have to use 90% of the day. So until that gets fixed I'll be here on oreo. I even tried going back to December email apk but that's when it started and the older email apk Is only for 8.1 and older.

Forgive me if this has been asked already, but I just got the pie update after waiting forever. I noticed that I can no longer make the navigational bars disappear without using gestures. I personally don't like the gestures. Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to get that back. I like having apps in total full screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mtweisenbarger777:
For all those having issues with the new multi-window mode (since Samsung decided to copy Google), just install Good lock. It has a tool called multl-star that provides all the functionality back and then some. If you can't get those apps from the galaxy store, you can easily sideload them. The latest versions work perfectly fine on my One UI Note 9 Unlocked.

I have a few annoyances as well:

1. Notifications icon from apps like email, sms etc doesnt get cleared when the email or SMS is deleted or marked as read from the dropdown panel itself

2. Receive notifications during call even though "notify during calls" option is set to off

3. Single tap to swipe feature doesnt work for receiving incoming call. still have to swipe to answer or reject a call instead of tapping on red or green button

Does anyone have this issue?

My solution...

Since Edge Gestures doesnt support landscape mode, I opted to use One Hand Operation +.

Also, I use bxActions to map the useless Bixby button to start Split-Screen or start Google Assistant.

Lastly, I'm using the below ADB command to restore auto-hiding the navigation bar functionality:

adb shell settings put global policy_control immersive.navigation=*

After doing all this, my Note 9 is actually a slightly better experience than what I had on Oreo 8.1.

The only thing I wish I could restore is the Oreo task changer, which easier to use in split-screen mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mwyann:
About task changer (and many others actually), you should install Good Lock 2019, you'll not regret it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mkanet:
I appreciate the reply. Yes, I'm already using the Task Changer app from Good Lock. The "List" view looks similar to the old Oreo 8.X Recents task changer when in Portrait mode.

However, in landscape mode when I start Split-Screen, instead of putting the Task Changer in one of the split-screen windows (like in Oreo), it takes up the whole screen. It's just a minor annoyance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mkanet:
Is there any way to add haptic feedback to Pie's full-screen gestures? When I enable Full screen gestures (to hide the navigation bar completely), I dont get haptic feedback during gesture swipes.

If I use a 3rd party gestures app, I get feedback for gestures.. however, I'm not able to hide the navigation bar

completely

... I only have immersive mode via ADB, which isn't the same thing as hiding the navigation bar 100% completely.

If Anyone here remembers, Google/Android ablot 1 year ago had hired a Bunch of apple developers.

This might be why our Great Phone has been crippled and crapped upon by such a terrible OS called PIE.

I call this OS Update to our Great Phones "Sh*T PIE" because that's exactly what it is and what it turned our Phones into.

The Worst was Disabling Features.

It Disabled VoLTE and Hotspot on My Note 9 besides all of the Cr*ppy polish that they are touting as Great Features.

As I had said before, PIE makes the Phone have an iphone look, feel, and act to it since the Update, but Not before it.

If I wanted an icrap, I would have purchased one.

No need to copy

Android OS on its own is 1000 times better than iOS. There's no need for Android to copy iOS. I take pride in myself as an Android user.

Some app developers making their apps look like iOS is tolerable, but when the OS itself is starting to look & feel more and more like iOS, its completely unacceptable.

Don't they realize that iOS themselves are copying Android with the Notification Panel, Long presses and other things.

Such a shame...
