So now that people are getting 7.0, can we get some feedback? I'm itching to upgrade, but 6.0.1 works so well that I'm scared. Battery life? Performance? Pros, cons?
Edit: Also please detail your upgrade path, eg. Did you hard reset / wipe data? Did you sideload the OTA or are you running a ROM?
Battery's same as MM
Performance same as MM
All working.
Pros: Multitasking (Window's way)
Better notification bar and settings
Root it's now available
Can change the DPI without failures.
Settings redesigned.
Cons: Isn't Xposed available...Yet.

Did you do a hard reset as well, or just an upgrade with existing data? If upgrade, you haven't had the stuttering issues I've seen reported?

I upgrade with TWRP thanks to @flashallthetime
Follow his instructions and all be good.
No bugs for me. No issues.
I did a dirty flash, so no hard reset

Ok, sounds like you flashed a ROM then. Thanks
I received OTA update. No stuttering issue.. Performance is top notch. Battery life is awesome just like MM. Coming from 5X i have been missing double tapping recents to switch between apps on MM, but since the update I'm super happy
I have some stuttering / lagging when I swipe through the homescreens and open the notification drawer.
Performed OTA upgrade in the reteu channel. Seems not a too big issue, but still noticable.

When did you get your OTA and what is your location?

Germany. Got it on 13th February.
Ten days on and it still hasn't rolled out. I wonder if they've found a problem of some kind.
Probably the performance issues hold up the global rollout.
I sideloaded the reteu OTA a week ago. So far there is no change from MM on battery life and performances, the phone is still smooth and super reactive. What I consider as an improvement over MM are the notifications, the split screen and switch between the last two apps, the notification volume fix (gave me a heart attack the first time I got an SMS) and the DPI changer.
I didn't clear the cache not factory reseted the phone, I just sideloaded the OTA like I would've done with a regular OTA.
Is Now on Tap available on Nougat? I highly depend on that.
A link to my short review of sideloaded RETEU in another thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71222470&postcount=1365
Bottom line: I have no issues, everything runs very well. Nougat is the best Android so far for me.

Yes, it is. It's a Google Play Services related setting.
Ok,so i tried nougat (the prerooted one from here) and went back to MM cause i dont like the display colours on nougat.they look washed to me.i like it better in marshmallow.maybe just me,maybe just the rom.and i had problems with whatsapp notifications.
Any retus owners get the nougat update yet? I'm using a custom ROM right now so I don't know.

Nope. I'm giving it another couple weeks
I received the ota update and did a factory reset. The only problem I'm facing so far is that I miss a lot of notifications of Gmail and Whatsapp mainly. I have to wake up the phone or even open the app to get the new mails and messages. Could this have some to do with the battery optimization options? In MM the same settings where set with no issues.

I've had this same issue with Gmail notifications on marshmallow for years now. I don't think it's a nougat thing
It's just been 30hrs I'm on PIE and i already miss xposed lol and wondering whether i can't survive without it or not, given that animations are really smooth and i like them and battery life for me has improved since no ' Xposed ', so I'm still in a doubt what to do
Why did you guys switched back to oreo?
I didn't yet, but basically i hate two things:
Chrome cannot be downgraded to version 65 and so I'm unable to use address bar on the bottom;
Recent apps view. That thing makes me wanna smash the phone into a wall around 5 times per day. This is by far the most annoying so called feature ever. I hate it. Hate it.
The Split screen was also ruined by ****ing recent apps view.
What i like is the magnifying cursor and the new screenshots editing function, which is really cool.
And the sound controls I don't mind.
By the way, is there any chance to have the latest security patches if i go back to Oreo?

If you go back to July 8.1, your security patches are likely done since google is now on 9.0. As are the kernel and rom developers.

Oh you will most definitely have to do a clean install and wipe to downgrade my friend. Hahahahahaha...I bet you'll be backing your device up once a week after what happened the other day. That's not a bad habit to have though :good:
I try not to flash backwards Plus a like the taste of Pie!
Just to add, I've not yet decided to upgrade to Pie as I just love RR at the moment too much to want to give up this rom, with all its features and my current setup! I've got it running so smooth, doing all the things I like, with all the little features I need, with a battery life that keeps up with my demands. So given I'd only but lose out with some features, it ain't worth the upgrade for me right now.
Plus indeed this new recents app sounds horrible! Can it be reverted back to the old one, is it compulsory??
When RR Pie gets released, with all the current Oreo features and fully working apps/theme etc. THEN I may be temped to try it out...
My 8.1 OS had trouble booting, bootloops, and messages of corruption. So I upgraded to 9.0 and things have been pretty good except for a WiFi tethering bug with my PS4, other devices connect properly but multiple PS4s either drop connection and get just a few kbps. Probably going to downgrade because of that
I switched because I need to have Viper with Dolby

Here's how you can revert to good old style: https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-vertical-app-switcher-pixel-t3830714
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?

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.

Impossible without factory resetting. This update is a mess, bugs everywhere.
Three Finger Screenshot doesn't work, media player once stated by any app stays in the notification even after the app quits, extreme battery drain... what a mess.. I am moving to Arrow, enough of this.
This is shame ,they release update before checking it i will send the device back if they accept if not i definitely will unlock the bootloader and install custom rom. I don't recommend anyone to install this buggy update!
give the non-stock xiaomi.eu 12.5.3.0 a chance, i dont regret unlocking and flashing and i am really satisfied for now.

When I install this version do i need to factory reset or can i flash directly over this messy update? It is really hard for me to start all over again,if i can install over it it would be perfect
Yeah folks we got the MIUI 14. If anyone has any experience regarding the performance and battery life feel free to share. I am thinking about rooting this phone so I am going to wait out a bit.
Same battery experience. Better and more smooth performance for me. Nice update but as always xiaomi cut functions for global roms. Hate it.
If you wanna all features of miui14, you should install CN ROM or customs like xiaomieu etc.
I am on Xiaomi.eu. 14.0.8. Overall smoother. Can recommend. Thought about switching to tw firmware. Is it also cut like the other regional releases?
