You need to appreciate Samsung more. They don't owe you anything.

You are joking right lmao

Wait.. You are joking right?

Nope I'm not... if you are involved in IT side, you know well that updating anything always runs the risk of breaking stuff... and for something as complicated as a phone OS with multiple variants, it's not going to be easy... we've easily one of the highest penetrations of mobile use especially with regards to banking and other important confidential stuff like Singpass, etc...

Nope. This was what some "power" users here told us when we're complaining about slow updates. Hahaha

Idk if you're trolling or not but I think it's more vulnerable to stay at an old security patch version compared to getting the latest security updates.

I sent my n8 to them just before my 1 year warranty is up.. I simply complained my battery was bad.. they replaced FOC and also replaced the charging Jack too.

yeah. Am excited for Note 10. Hopefully something surprising. Put based on past year literations, Note series will also resembles the current year S series.

Anyone knows how to turn on the Dolby Atmos under the sound quality and effects? It seems it is disabled

Just upgraded to Android 9 with One UI. Looks Nice.

Question, why during (portrait) games, there will be top notification bar present?
On Android 8, the top notification bar and navigation bar was hidden.

I will answer my own question. To use Dolby Atmos, we need wired earphones or bluetooth earphones. It will not work on n8 speakers.. lol.. just googled

Pie broke game launcher. In landscape mode, when you click chat and the keyboard appears, navigation bar appears on the left as well.

When finished typing and send chat, keyboard disappears but navigation bar stays on. Wouldnt disappear. Blocking part of the screen and game function.

Theres no way to fix it now except to totally disable game launcher.

Error report send to samsung, waiting for reply.

Why update need to mess up things one ar?
