Anyone has input on the new update especially on the battery life?

yesterday update until now, just purely personal feeling the battery is better than before.
at the same time network signal & GPS is getting strong and respond faster as a pokemon player.

recommend to try it out.

My S9+ units get from pre-order use for coming 5 month old.
2 sim operate with Maxis & Digi, data on most of the time, AOD never off. FHD setting.

100% to 13% battery use for

4.5hr SOT
1h ++ pokemon go
1h ++ facebook
half an hour youtube

without gaming S9+ no issue to last whole day long for me.
I believe for those having abnormal short battery life, might need to check at SC while warranty still valid.

wah 2018 still got people play pokemon go? walao

Not many like old day, but in my small town have around 400 people in wechat community group active in Pokemon Go outdoor hunt cool2.gif

For those using app with GPS required like Pokemon go, not advise to turn on GPS all the time.
it will significantly consume your battery life. turn on only when you open the app will save you a lot of battery juice.

Bluetooth off, wifi off, AOD off

Hmmm

how about GPS?

GPS easily consume 10-20% overnight if the setting is not right and your area GPS signal is weak (especially now rain and cloudy day most the time).

Agreed. After a few gens, most Note users realized they don't use the pen that much. In one year don't know got pull out once or not lol.

Didn't know Note 9 speaker is worse than S9+.
*
Yup, living with N3 for many years aware Spen is just an lovely optional feature which not must have for me.
that why i change to S9+ this year rather than waiting N9.

after updating to pie I can say phone becomes more speedy but hot at the same time. the most tak boleh tahan is navigation bar cannot hide. any quick tips other than gesture which put my SwiftKey too low
*
hide navigation bar try this

setting > display > navigation bar > under navigation type choose "full screen gestures".

hope it help.

There is a possibility that Android Pie has *hide/remove/disable* the feature. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

As on stock Android Pie, it seems also the same.

However if you enable landscape mode in home screen, you can see the icon labels (with fonts).
*
thanks. if this is Pie idea then nothing can do...

after update,
Pro- notice the battery life is really improve, much responsive Iris unlock

Con - the design langue really not my taste, default icon look cartoon especially notification icon really suck!
"recent apps" view is dam inconvenience to check back if you open many apps before.

Yes. I have used the original Samsung type C HDMI Dex function. No need to use Dex Station. It is working like a charm. However, it's a suggestion to use a fast charge wireless charger if you plan to use the Dex longer hours.
*
thanks! going to get type c to HDMI adapter soon.
