[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr.Januzi:
Exactly.

I don't think they read or search.

I have nothing against those who ask. But it really gets annoying when people ask the same question over and over again.

If someone is really worried about his/her phone, they will be really careful and read all the pages (it is not much 83 pages). That's what at least I do.

As per the downgrade issue, it was answered 3-6 pages ago and clearly stated that he downgraded using home_csc and haven't lost his data.

I totally know how you feel. I was a noob at the beginning but now I always read first in order to understand the issue and when I see that I don't have an answer I ask for guides.

P.S I wouldn't suggest flashing beta right now because of 2 reasons;

1: If you don't know to use ADB, you will have issues installing it via SD card (as many have)

2: The official firmware will be released on Monday (if there isn't gonna be a beta 6, which I think there won't be one), so why bother install all 6 betas in one day and the next day there will be official release and you can clean flash the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] arminxa:
I flashed the firmware we were supposed to be on in order to install the betas and I installed betas 1 to 3 successfully, but installing beta 4 I get an error using both ADB and sd card. any suggestions?

Tested beta 5 and there are still many major bugs, I doubt this will be ready before February comes. Samsung is so slow in fixing major bugs.

When screen recording voice recording stutters.

Color inversion algorithm is worse than Android pie.

When force dark mode is turned on, Gmail app does not go dark.

Quick panel layout is missing a five column option.

Minimize option no longer available on notifications.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
As I said before, there's plenty of issues that still need fixing. The stable version won't be released until at least in February. I anticipate they'll be a beta 6 maybe a 7.

No luck finding it. And as it so happens I got something stuck in my charging port, so now I can't use USB port to go back to sm-g965u and wait for offical update.. looks like I'm kinda screwed unless I can flash the final stable build over this beta 2 I have installed.. or the other betas get released. :crying::( luckily I have a wireless charger.., but still, sucks.. very bad timing on my part
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
If Beta 3 exists, you will need to flash it via update.zip first. Then all other betas until the final version.

There is no other way of your USB port is not functioning and you are not registered for the beta.

It is really time for a new beta or final version!

That would be ridiculously late for the global version. I would guesstimate February as the final release. The US version with always be one or two months later compared to the global version.

Thread cleaned (once again!)

Ok, so is this thread called "Lets talk about Samsung vs Apple"? I do not think so.

I have cleaned the last couple of pages, so once again... stay on topic or don't comment. It's really not that difficult. Do not get into arguements, do not feed trolls. Just report the offender and move on. I know its hard to think and act like an adult sometimes, but please try. You know who you are if you're guilty of off-topic discussion here, so don't do it! If someone else tries to start one, just report the post (put Off-topic in the comments) and move on. It really couldn't be simpler!

To the offenders:- You're literally wasting your own time typing uselss posts that don't help anyone or contribute to the on-topic discussion in any way. Those posts are easily spotted and likely to be deleted anyways.

Also I've noticed some of you seem to be threading a very fine line when you consider the XDA Rules that are meant to be followed on these forums, if anyone needs a refresher I encourage you to read this - XDA Rules

Anyways! Let's carry on, be civil and of course stay on topic. :good:

So far better sex is largely the same as beta 5 and still the same books as before. I haven't noticed any new feature changes, and Gmail still does not have a dark theme for me. Not to mention the screen recording still produces clucking sounds on The voice. I really hope Samsung with fix this, but I'm pessimistic about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] maik005:
maybe do a factory reset?

Screen recording voice is fine here.

gmail is dark (you have system wide dark Mode enabled in QuickPanel?)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
I'll do a factory reset when the stable version comes out. yes I have enabled system-wide dark mode and also developer mode to force dark mode, and Gmail still does not have an option to change the theme. I have heard someone else say factory reset is the answer.

by the way, the screen recording program can only record up to 4 gigabytes of file size, which is extremely annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddix1:
Yes that's because of the internal storage format, it doesn't allow larger file then 4gb to transfer or write on it. I think its fat32, or exfat, don't know exactly. But that's on other devices too.

Recently read this article:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:
Wish there was a way to adjust the bitrate file quality to reduce the file size. It is ridiculous to think that a 29 minute video at 1080p takes up over 4 gigabytes of Data.

You misunderstood.

It was about setting the bitrate prior to recording.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eddix1:

when you have a handsfree phone call is the mic quality ok then?

Otherwise your top mic could be broken.

Why would they take away a feature?

Imagine if they did not done it since galaxy S. Only adding new features. The device would now be unusable.

you know ProModus in camera for video recording.

Worked perfectly fine but was removed with Pie update for no reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AliceVonderlust:

Battery savings. And it looks better on black.

But many apps have dark grey which is not really battery saving since the pixels are lit to produce grey color rather than pitch black which does not turn on pixels.

There are many, not limited to it being easier on the eyes, battery savings, less likely to get screen burn etc...
