now the timeplan in germany is also refreshed, and s9 planned for march 2020.

UK still on January 2020
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NIKOSXRI:
And for the note 9 February?

Note 9 has it already.

This is not serious
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Yes, note9 die February.

But it is serious... Directly from Samsung members App notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] NIKOSXRI:
Your report is serious.

Samsung is not serious

Why they do this? Are there lots of prob in beta 6 for fixing?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddix1:
Very nice, thumbs up for samsung. I just thought January is way to early. March is much better, now I'm satisfied :svetius::D

[MENTION=4865293]And-rois[/MENTION]

not as far as I know.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddix1:
I don't think so, either they are doing that on purpose after the S20 launch so you buy the new one since the S9 is nearly 2 years old or they are in hurry to finish the S20 so they concentrate on that at the moment. But who knows...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gentr:
maybe this is for reason off s20 launches or maybe refresh this news for next month
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
There are three bugs as far as I know, which is not a whole lot but they might take time to fix. Between the beta releases, averages about less than 10 days of weight except for one case which took 18 days during the Christmas season. Beta 7 is getting to be about 10 days of wait, and that's a concern. Every other device already has a stable release from December to January, but the s9 plus is taking especially long for some weird reason, but I think it's because they're not willing to work for less money. Let me ask you this, how much will a new s9 plus device sell for in 2020?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] And-rois:
Yeah I guess so agreed with you more close to this situation.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 AM ----------

About the question my guess is zero selling for 2020 no one looking for two years old device except someone like me who bought the phone 2 weeks ago :)) because of my country situation, so I got your point but the purpose behind the whole thing all of your word can be true,

After all they want people to change their phone to new one 10 or 20 doesn't matter, 2 years of support it's not that much user friendly and good for people who has the phone,

Anyway I can't change my phone and I don't want that because really hate the design of s10 personal opinion, so I just wait and see
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
About facebook apps...I know it's bad for battery life in general but since Android 10 is worst. The app running all the time in background and consuming battery. The app also start running by itself and playing videos 2-3 min after I lock it. I think all the problems comes because Samsung made it system app that can't be uninstalled.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Facebook is a system app since a long time.

---------- Post added at 23:30 ---------- Previous post was at 23:29 ----------

But you can deactivate ist with ADB and then, if you really need the app install it from PlayStore again as a user app?!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] marquelito:
Disable it via adb, or disable background use for fb, no notifications, disable contact sync in app. And disable via adb the other two apps facebook app manager and facebook app installer ( can open in activity manager and can disable auto update from these or one of these)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
I disabled everything with package disabler. Before few times I try to uninstall it with adb but this way doesn't delete the apps permanently, only for the current user 0. I tried because I wanted to install modded version with less craps but can't be installed anything since the original one can't be removed completely.

The weird part here is Huawei's phones with android 10 doesn't have the same issue. As long you close the app its stays close. I thought it's related to the android 10 but is just a Samsung issue, and I really doubt they will fix this. It's happens to a lot of apps once I start to checking them out. Almost every app works on background for hours. Which ofcourse, eating more battery. Maybe that's one of the reasons Samsung delaying the updates, imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Strange, no such problem here.

Did you make a factory reset shortly before/after beta started? I guess not?

Also did you flash back with home_csc to CSK1?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
Yeah. Did a factory reset to change my csc and join the beta. Didn't flash anything. Will do a factory reset again once the stable version is out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Ok, so nearly same as me.

Maybe someone else here also has this problems with apps running crazy...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Januzi:
You have 2 options with ADB - package Disable and package Uninstall (which will reinstall if you factory reset). I think the package disable app doesn't have the uninstall option.

I did uninstall many bloatware apps and they do not show on app manager. I am currently on Pie, still haven't tried it on android Q.

If you want, I can send you a link with all the apps that are safe to uninstall and with the instructions how to.

Where did you get a combination ROM to change your CSC? The combination ROM for bootloader version 7 is not free for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
You do not need a combination Firmware.

Either you do it with a SIM from the desired country or with SamKey program.

But if you don't have the sim from a country where the beta is official you can't sign up for the beta.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
Where is the instruction page on how to use samkey to change your CSC?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
I don't have a combination ROM for bootloader version 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddix1:
So it's still possible to sign up for the beta program?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
Yes, you can.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
I read few post in reddit and since I'm kinda new to Samsung devices (Second samsung phone) I didn't know in details Samsung policy for updates.

People says Samsung doing this every year with the old flagships so they can show the new one and people to buy it. The delay for the update also where expected though. Nobody would buy newer phone if the old one have good support, that's logical. So the delay for the update was expected. No big deal for me, really because I'm happy with the beta software. Seems pretty stable to me, except all apps running in background.

My point with this comment where that if Samsung doing this from years, (yes they did it pretty fast for S10 S10 family) we shouldn't be surprised anymore by 2 months delaying.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jamil aboudaher:
I think that releasing the update in january won't prevent anyone from buying the new S20 phones since they are much better in every aspect, and these few changes in the software won't change my mind if I was willing to get a new phone. And the galaxy S9 won't receive any major updates next year so I didn't get the point of delaying the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] CamoGeko:
I've said this before on XDA and the facts still remain the same...

Samsung releases like 10-15 devices a year... including all the weird carrier variants. Why are these delays such a shock to everybody lmao? They've been doing this for years!

You try pushing new version of Android to more that a dozen different devices and variants, with minimal bugs present ? Not to mention for 2 different types of SoC. I think it would take you a while too... ?

Users should already expect this when buying Samsung. So you either accept this regime and be patient, or forget about Samsung and buy a device from a different manufacturer.

It really couldn't be simpler. :laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jamil aboudaher:
The note 9 should be very similar to the s9 in terms of software, if they could release it soon for the note then there's no reason we can't get it until march.

And remember they should focus on the flagships before the midrange.

It's not a big deal for me but we were impressed by the expected release dates, that's why we are disappointed now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
The s9 simply has the best design compared to the S10 and note 10. The trend of going bezel less is simply not worth it since Samsung had to remove the iris scanner, which was a revolutionary feature. Right now the new flagship devices including the s20, they don't even have a secure facial unlock technology. All because they want to go bezel less and those they prioritize on the design over technological features which is a very stupid move in my opinion. I absolutely refuse to upgrade because of these reasons. Because of Samsung's greed, they have a band in the s9 to prioritize their software on the s20. Oh by the way, they release Android 10 for note 9 all the way back in January 1st, and yet they can't do a stable on the s9? This is just great!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:
Galaxy S9 is almost perfect. If I go for S20 it will be because of the camera upgrade and ofcourse the software support.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] natibongo:
In short, Samsung should cut the crap of releasing devices with two different SoC and concentrate on either their homegrown Exynos or Qualcomm's Snapdragon. I don't care about any market regulation BS. I'm sure Android 11 Beta will be available for the Pixels before I get a stable Android 10 for my S9 Plus
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jamil aboudaher:
Yes I also prefer the S9. The intelligent scan is miles better than the face recognition. Although the latter is faster in good lighting, but the iris scanner helps a lot in dark scenarios which is a big deal for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nedling92:

I just received a combination file for bootloader version 7 with tar extension, is this a common extension for a combination file? I thought normally it would have been a bin file.

Be sure man when we get to march Samsung update the rollout to another month :)) I just ask one of the Samsung support member app they tell me March and February, I really didn't trust them because of these rollout date changing.

It can change again, there is not a big deal for them people just buy everything they make so

Hi all i do got a simple question after reading the conversation this is not cler to me.

My s9+ is installed with G965FXXU7CSK4 version. I wanted to test android 10 (streaming compatible with my ear aids) when i tryied to install it form SD i got an error : nexpected content sideload/package.zip

I checked in Updater-script in package and i think that the installer checked that : "the Source PDA version: G965FXXU7CSK1"

Do you have any idea how to install in on my S9+ with *CSK4 version ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] julian0412:
Downgrade
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddix1:
That is not possible, you need to be on CSK1 so you have to flash via Odin in order to sideload the update.zip.

Also, beta members did not get the update yet...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Leon:

Ok that's really weird, I thought beta testers got it too.

It means we can download this final Q build via Samfirm / Odin and flash via Odin, regardless of which beta build currently running (in my case latest beta), correct?

I may also wait for the official OTA update, as [MENTION=6372725]dorian.m[/MENTION] said, would be faster. The whole day I'm trying to download the update from a few sources and nothing is happening. From SamMobile the connection is too slow and needed around 7-8 hours which is ridiculous. I let it download but it seems my connection break at some point and the update failed. Tried also from the links from [MENTION=5842570]Humam Alamara[/MENTION] and it says two days :silly: ...I tried to use also Frija and it says 0kbs speed from around 30 minutes...

Just did a clean flash on my SM-G960F of recently released Android 10 FW for Germany. Works very well, I was able to root it with Magisk (no TWRP as I need storage encryption) and get the Google Pay, Galaxy Wearable and Samsung Health working after applying usual tricks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] natibongo:
Does anyone have a link to the G965U1 firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Weuiwer:
just did that. If you are on beta it will give updates in stores I guess it was using old versions for a few app. I will get back if anything is wrong but I suggest a clean flash if you don't have authenticators as many as me :D

edit : My device seems to be working hot with nothing on. Have to flash it with csc and download everything again after an hour to get my max down speed :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] alejobog:
How do I install the magisk?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Hekarath:
Enable developers mode.

From the previously extracted Firmware copy the boot.img as well as Magisk Manager .apk files to your phone's storage, f.e. to Download folder.

Install Magisk Manager using .apk file.

From the Magisk Manager app select Install Magisk and point it to boot.img file.

Magisk will create the magisk_patched.img file. Copy it to your computer.

Reboot your phone to download mode again.

Flash the patched boot partition (example covers heimdall as I'm running Linux, use whatever works for you):

sudo heimdall flash --BOOT magisk_patched.img

The device will reboot afterwards.

You will be notified that the integrity check failed and reset is required - go on with that.
