Hello all,
As the title says, what is your opinion about Nougat? After reading so many bug related posts here and in reddit, im frustrated to update to the newest version of android. How does it compares to marsmalow in terms of battery, performance and bugs? Is it safe to update now, of do your suggest to wait a little longer for a bugfix update? And finally, if your suggest me to update, do your recomend any custom rom/ kernel?
Thanks in advance.
Fine, I love my 5X, but there are some bugs that I have:
*In Whatsapp audios or call if I put my face in the phone (or simple if I cover the distance sensor) the screen goes black and I can't turn on again...maybe if a press the power button 3 times the screen turns on. that is REALLY annoying!, I dont know if is a software problem or if my tempered glass is the real problem...
*The screen rotates very easy...sometimes I move my phone just a little and the screen rotates...
*When screen turns off it doesnt fade "slowly"...its something cosmetic but I dont like it haha

Hm, i dont use whatsapp so i dont mind if there is a bug about it. Do you have the same problem during calls too? Also, what about battery and performance?
I have these bugs:-
1. I have a problem with the battery percentage toggle, i change it to like "everytime" but sometimes it auto switches back to "only when charging", in 6.0.1 there was only an option to show percentage which worked fine.
2. I also have a problem after sep security update the swipe up from overview to open multiwindow doesnt work, it is on in the settings tho, it worked on the first 7.0 aug security one but now it doesnt.

This features disable automatically when you go to System ui tuner. Just enable it and don't touch this settings.
Also, I have a bug with double icon of alarm clock in status bar, like on screenshot. Reboot can fix it.

I think i can live with a few bugs. What about the more important things like battery life and performance? How do they compare to marsmalow?

I recently reverted back to marshmallow, I was getting horrible battery drain. Like 10℅ an hr while in my pocket. I had to leave it on battery saver mode if I wasn't going to be near a charger. But besides that it's awesome, love all the new features.

For me, unlocking the device harder. I have to swipe further in order to do it, and it also happens when I want to swipe a notification at the lock screen.
In addition Spotify song playing from google now through an Android Wear does not work unless the Nexus is unlocked.
Finally, battery life is not really god in my case.
After reading your replies, i decided to stay in marsmalow for a couple of months. Thanks everyone
It's only been a couple days for me but everything is working well on the stock OTA update so far.
I like the new features and Doze is working brilliantly again so there is a noticable improvement to battery life.

I'm happy on 7.0 but i would like xposed and custom Rom with theme engine , substratum is to young
So in the Samsung official s9 forum there are thread after threads of people complaining about the new 'downgrade' to Pie One Ui mainly about the camera features being removed,
Shutter button zoom removed
Separate Video and shutter buttons removed
Pro video settings removed
Selective focus is now useless (s9)
Selfie Camera default view is too close so effects all apps that use selfie camera.
The ugly iPhone look of the overall camera software.
Battery life is down quite a bit although I've been told that the may update fixes this at last.
There are a few other features missing or changed that i personally don't use.
I personally love the new ONEui especially combined with Samsungs one handed operation + app using gestures.
The weird thing is I'm not hearing any complaints in the s9 xda forums about the upgrade/downgrade to Pie.
Are you all happy with your phone's from Oreo to Pie ?
Personally I think they have lowered the quality of the camera to make their S10 phones look superior but that probs me having a tin hat moment
I had my S9 for all of about 2 hours - about the time it took to transfer from a screen-busted S8 to the replacement S9 a couple months ago - before the update to Pie occurred.
I've had no problems or issues with it. And I've had the S8 for just under a year and half so I went through its update from Nougat to Oreo.
I don't know what issues there are with "selective focus". It seems to work fine for me.
Now, I have disabled as much of Bixby as I can (deleted the Google app and removed that search bar too - completely useless for me). Changed the launcher to Nova Launcher which can remove those goofy rounded icon frames, using the BlackBerry Hub Suite of apps for all the IM stuff, even using the BlackBerry Virtual keyboard which I like better than the stock or any SwiftKey keyboard.
I honestly don't understand the complaints towards Pie. It's not all that different from Oreo, and I love the native dark theme.
I personally don't like the update to pie. Battery life is definitely worse, the wifi signal is worse (I tested it between the S5 and S7 and the S9 was the worst). I don't like the UI at all, reminds me of an iPhone. About the only thing I do like is the My files app. It's cleaner and easier to use and navigate.

You have nothing to compare it to then, Oreo was 100x better which is why people are a bit disappointed. And I have to say your setup sounds absolutely awful ?

You missed my line about having the S8 for almost a year and a half, during which time it updated from Nougat to Oreo. So, yes, I can definitely compare with Oreo, since I had it for about a year.
And, except for some shifting around of elements, I find it to be basically the same. I had no problems finding what I need anywhere within the revamped UI.
And, my setup works perfect for me and is absolutely wonderful. You can't say otherwise without trying it yourself
I know that features in camera like pro video, zoom using the shutter button, taking 3 pictures when setting a timer, motion panorama... are removed, but the ui isn't ugly, I actually liked it better than oreo.
Selective focus is a bit improved after software updates, but the blur effect isn't as stong as in oreo.
Battery life isn't too much worse, I think the first month I upgraded to one UI, it was very bad, but it has improved after learning my usage patterns...
Heat is noticeably improved since when I was on oreo my phone was a little too warm all the time, but now it's normal, even available RAM is higher, I have 1.4~1.6 GB free now, compared to 1~1.2 GB in oreo.
When it comes to animations, I find less frame drops with one UI. And I didn't experience any kind of major lag since I got the phone so no worries here.
The whole UI looks better for me, it's cleaner and easier to use, I've not changed any launcher, keyboard, or even themes, everything is stock. And I can safely say that one UI is overall better than oreo, unless you care about the missing camera features.
I am absolutely gutted about the camera software, but I do love the one UI and I just got the May update which is supposed to fix the battery problems.
I hate it that they removed the recent long press to multitask, i mean why would samsung remove such simple usefull feature?

No difference off the 1st full charge to 0.
See how it goes over the next few days and I'll post back.
I tell you what is annoying since the update, the adaptive brightness is just messing up constantly, so irritating.

Just go to settings>display>adaptive brightness and reset usage patterns. Then adjust it the way you want in each situation so it adapts to your adjustments...
This is the problem, it keeps cocking up, I reset usage and it's alright for a bit then it's drops to 0 brighteners so I move it to how I would like it and it'll be ok but then I go outside and the brightness doesn't increase so I adjust again for that and on we go because now auto brightness isn't doing anything and I'm constantly changing the brightness in the same brightness I've already set up, I reset again and all is ok for a while and then it starts again.
I'm going to wipe cache partition and reset brightness patterns and see how it goes.

Yes wiping cache might help, I personally enabled show control on top so I can quickly adjust the brightness manually to my liking.
Just got 5h35mins sot this time and brightness has sorted itself out, just need the original camera app back and I'll be happy ?

My battery is just the same after may update. Absolute garbage
Want to start off by saying, yes I've searched, yes I've tried the apps that people have recommended here and else where. I am looking for the best possible solution to my dilemma. I had a s8. I used the edge action (etc), simply for the screen capture and instant cropping of a picture or, making something into a gif.
I've found, online, the various versions of the "app" that samsung put out but, none of which will install on my US version a50.
Is there a way that this can be side loaded or, is there someone that can bake it into a rom instead?
Side note, the apps available on the play store and the galaxy store, suck.
One hand operation+

Have you tried One Hand Operation+, a Nicelock module?

I prefer this over S8's Edge Action. (European A50).

I have official android 10 on my a50 phone
unfortunately there is no Screen Edge
Anyone noticed that the apps running in background like Chrome and Android Auto stutter and lag when you lock the screen on N10+ Exynos??
It's driving me crazy, I tried everything:
- Turned off all battery optimization
- Kept the app locked in background
- Made sure the apps are allowed to run in background..
nothing worked for me.
any help please?
No, I dont experience anything as you say
I have tried it on 3 phones, all 3 had it - if you use Android auto you'll know what I'm talking about

Well, if you are on the latest 10 firmware, you will not be able to roll back to pie, latest 10 has bootloader 4, which is higher than the last 9 firmware, no way around it
I have been reluctant to upgrade from my s9+ because of the notification led that was done away with in the newer devices.
I have read that in one ui 3.0 and Android 11 on the S20 series advancements have been made using edge lighting for notifications.
Can anyone tell me if the there is a setting to have this edge lighting notification run continuously until the message causing the notification has been read? ie. mimicking how the notification led works in the S9+ and older devices that had the physical led?
Thanks.

Use this app,
Notification light for Samsung - Apps on Google Play
aodNotify - Notification light / LED for Samsung Galaxy S22, S21, A52, Note20...
play.google.com
U can set everything that u want, it might be needed to buy the developer coffee.
Thanks for the replies. I have seen some of the aftermarket apps. Many of them come with various issues. I was hoping that by now Samsung had come up with their own built in solution. Will wait and see if the S21 is any different.

And what are the issues with the app I recommended? It feels like you want to wait on Samsung, but that's waiting on horses to fly
For what it's worth, aodNotify works flawlessly for me. I think you'll be pleased with the results.
