What exactly is supposed to be ruined? You can use the split app view as well as the window mode of several apps. You can select the first app and the second app for the split screen, what more do you want?

See screenshots:

To select other apps in the split screens over and over again, first select the desired area (right or left) and then press the Overview button again (you can also use the back button if you have not navigated further in the app yet.). Now you can enlarge another app either by touching it or by dragging it down into the respective half of the split screen.

I know everything, but it is much more complicated than before. If it takes even one gesture more than before, for me it is a step behind. That is just my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rainman74:
Ok, but then this has nothing to do with ruining, but it is a standard that is present in all Samsung devices with Android 9 and One UI. I tested this behavior on a Tab S3, Tab S6 and a Galaxy Phone S10+. It is identical everywhere!

So if you don't like it, just keep using Android 8.1 and then you shouldn't buy any new Samsung devices ;)

Improvements from oreo

I rarely post on xda but Im so happy with the pie update I thought I'd share.

I bought this tablet mostly for drawing and word processing.

Apart from Samsungs own Penup app, 90% of the drawing apps available were not very responsive; there was noticeable lag when sketching something. Tablet was a bit sluggish in other respects, even with clean installs.

With the pie update (I did a clean install using firmware from Sam mobile and then restored data using Samsung switch) drawing is much smoother with other drawing apps like art rage, painter and corel painter. Tablet is more responsive in general. Unsure about battery life yet but already very pleased with this update.

I'm using the t825y. I would recommend removing your sd card before updating as android now wants me to format mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rhauff:
Few things I've done/noticed on Pie. I also did not like the new split screen function, install "Split Screen Shortcut" by etsang from Play store. This gives back the long press function on the app switcher button.

I found the Google App was using over 30% of my power, disabled it and now back to ~7 hrs screen time.

Another advantage of Pie is the ability to run the Galaxy Wearable app, which is nice with my Galaxy Buds!

Anybody found Bixby function? I see a Bixby service is now running, but no app or buttons. Long press on Power button does not prompt Bixby as Tab S4 supposedly does now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Derper500:
The latest 9.0 update has been the worst update for me.

Before this update my Galaxy tab s3 was super fast. Now it is slow, bogged down. When I type something, it delays a few seconds then my letters come on the screen. Moving about the app it is so slow. I have not been watching it closely but my battery life is probably much lower.

I really feel samsung got me with this update to force me to upgrade. But I'm not going to do it, I don't want to give them my money.

I really wish I never installed this update, it basically ruined my tablet.

It even looks like you can't even set the alarm to gradually increase the volume, at least I was not able to locate this option.

Do yourselves a big favor, don't upgrade to 9.0 unless you want to be forced to by a faster tablet. It is very obvious that pie 9.0 is not optimized for the older Galaxy Tab S3.

It also doesn't look as nice, everything looks smaller, and you get stuttering when moving around the screens because it can't handle the speed. 9.0 However works fine in my note 10, but not on my old tablet. I like 9.0 but its just runs too slowly on my tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Guides, News, & Discussion] elcidroyale:
I had the same issue but hard reset, then installed update, then re installed apps manually (not from a back up), then cleared cache and my tablet is back to normal. If you already have the update, just install apps manually and clear cache.

EDIT: I also debloated a bunch of stock apps. That and then deleting cache afterwards, sped up my tablet considerably. That may be a lot of work but I don't mind considering I had to do the above once and it's an older tablet.

Hi, I purchased an S8 phone in 2017 from US however I was not able to activate Volte on my phone which was required to use Jio sim in India. Last year to enable VOLTE I flashed Indian CSC and some other files and the phone has been working fine with Volte activated.

However I have not been getting any android updates since then and now the phone has started slowing down. I was wondering if it is possible for me to go back to stock settings which will allow me to receive and install any Android updates. Please suggest how should I go about it. Please see some basic information about my phone below:

Sammobile or updato .com will have latest firmwares to flash in newest odin
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youdoofus:
phones are updated in the order of release based on the IMEI and when carriers do the updates themselves. If youre not happy with the speed at which your phone updates, you can get them and manually force them on via Odin and obtain the firmwares via www.sammobile.com/firmwares or i prefer the frija firmware download tool as its about 10 times faster than sammobile directly.

and in most cases you can skip forward several steps in firmwares, but you cannot go backwards when flashing bootloader versions. Your version is S3, so you can flash any S3 bootloader based firmware, but nothing before it

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yokiaza:
Hello there!

I use a Motorola Moto G6 that's running on Android 9 Pie (Build no. PPS29.118-11-1) and I was wondering if there was a way to block certain apps from being installed on my device by their package name. I want to be able to do this for the same reason I use very strict settings on Digital Wellbeing: self control.

I know that you can install and block apps and I know that you can use parental settings on your phone but that simply won't help in this situation. I'm also aware that an app with these capabilities might not be available. My question isn't if it's possible now or with the utilities currently provided through apps developed for my Android OS; I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to block apps by their Package Name in any way and if it's impossible to make (in theory) an app that can do it.

I'm not sure how it can be done. Can it be done by having an app that reads through an app that's attempting to be installed and generates bricked app directories where it should chuck out the app's resources so it can't be installed? Maybe. Can it be done by cancelling the installation request of an app that has a Package Name matching one inputted into a list on the hypothetical app in question? Not sure. If anyone knows the answer to those two proposals or has their own suggestions, please do your best to answer my post and keep in mind, this has to be done without the phone being rooted.

An additional but important factor: this is about self control. I can easily bring myself to not remove or otherwise disable restrictive measures on my phone, but I'd like to know if I can make it so that you cannot remove a Package Name that has been blocked in the phone no matter the method used in the first part (other than uninstalling the blocker app, of course).

Yoki Aza

Hello,

A little help please. I purchased a new OnePlus 7 Pro on eBay described as UK model.

The model number is GM1913, which is correct. However, clicking on the Regulatory Labels, it shows Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Also the build number is GM21AA, which is the international version instead the EU build of GM21BA.

Would someone with an OnePlus 7 Pro purchased directly from Oneaplus kindly check to see what their Regulatory Labels says please?

Many thanks.

Hi,

I just updated from oficial 9.5.11 to open beta 3 (OnePlus7ProOxygen_13.W.11_OTA_011_all_1910081744_04ab29a18f344955.zip downloaded fome oneplus site).

I'm not sure what was before update (->settings->about phone->regulatory labels) - I think it was "GM1913" nothing else- but now I also have "Model GM1913 Kingdom of Saudi Arabia CITC (TA2019-962)".

As I'm living in Germany I don't understand.

Does that matter?

If yes: what?

One more question: is OB 3 the same as 10.0.1?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Bigmille:
Hi,

I was on the beta 1, 2 and 3 build, they all had Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Regulatory Labels.

I think there is only one international AA build for beta, since we in Europe are on the BA build, so don't get Regulatory Labels. Did not notice any difference in cellular connection and speed

The beta got newer features than stable, but may have more bugs. I have moved back to BA 10.0.1 stable when it was available to download from OnePlus website 2 days ago, don't notice much difference.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] wilpang:
I have the same version but unlocked not encountered any odd sounds via my Audi A3, my only complaint is that the option to keep all music tracks as same volume only affects the louder ones.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jamesm113:
Yah, at first I thought it was limited to my car, but I experience similar sound quality issues with other bluetooth headphones

Plugging in directly to my car's AUX jack, the audio quality is fine.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] tonisama:
Same issue

I'm absolutely having the same issue. Sounds like static and distortion in the higher frequencies, almost like a low bitrate mp3 file.

I first noticed it when I upgraded from the G6 which sounded completely fine over bluetooth. I have several bluetooth devices in my house and car and all exhibited the same issue. As a sanity check, I connected my laptop to all of those devices and was getting absolutely no distortion. So clearly it's an issue with the phone.

Upon further inspection, I discovered it has something to do with the G8's SBC codec implementation. I have a pair of bluetooth headphones that support both AAC and AptX and the G8 sounded completely normal over those codecs, but when switching back to SBC, I got the same distortion.

My guess is that a bug is forcing the bitrate to the lowest level regardless of signal quality.

Someone had reported something similar happening on the G6 a couple years ago, but I didn't notice it on my particular G6. Perhaps the issue is limited to certain variants. I have the US T-Mobile version.

I'm surprised that no one else thus far has noticed the issue. Drives me absolutely bananas.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jamesm113:
I sent mine in because of this issue. They replaced the bluetooth module and the audio quality is much improved.

They also messed up the camera in the process, so I had to send my phone in again, which wasn't fun.

Thanks for the update. Sounds like a terrible experience. Perhaps not worth the risk.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jamesm113:
They did send me the attached troubleshooting steps before granting my warranty repair request.

The first two steps did nothing, but the factory reset resolved it for a few days. Once the issue came back, I reported it to LG, and they sent me a label to send my phone in. I explored doing a warranty exchange through T-Mobile, but they charge a fee, and send you a refurbished phone. At least with LG, I got my original phone back.

Today, the audio quality is fine, for the most part. In my car, if I have it cranked, the cymbals can be a little distorted, but nowhere near as bad as it was before. My car has an old JVC receiver that uses bluetooth 2.1, so it's not like I expect great audio quality out of it anyway.

[LG G8 Questions & Answers] tonisama:
back for me as well

Same here. The bluetooth audio worked great for a couple of weeks after the factory reset, but eventually, the distortion resurfaced. :(

Note that bluetooth audio over the AAC and AptX codecs does not exhibit this issue. If you don't want to dump your phone, you could try using devices that support those codecs rather than the default SBC.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] jamesm113:
Any idea on how we could get visibility to what bit-rate SBC is using? I've tried a handful of apps from the play store last time, but didn't have much success.

Apparently, there's a setting in the Developer options "Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log" which will record the handshake with the negotiated bit rate. The log is stored in the /sdcard/ directory which is not accessible from the phone itself. I believe you need ABD installed on a PC with the phone connected to pull the log.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] tonisama:
Very interesting indeed. Thanks for looking into this. I guess the question is how to prevent the bitrate from dropping from the max. No reason why this should happen when the device is right next to the source.
