I also have S 9 +. Did you try the low-light pictures yet?

Low light photos are better than the S8+ for sure. Still way over processed, but that's how Samsung rolls. I get less blur with the kids running around too. Have yet to try the super slow mo...it requires a TON of light to work well.

Got a chance to compare the GS9 against the V20's radio.  Holy Jesus! The GS9+'s radio performance is in another stratosphere! 30-60% better speeds on average. Also holds onto B41 quite a bit mor

Still no April security update....months behind!

AFAIK, T-Mobile is the most up to date at the moment & it's the March patch.

Samsung is so slow.  My Sony Xperia XZ2 Compact got the April 5th 2018 Security Patch yesterday.  My Unlocked 965U1 is still on February.

Funny that's the same thing T-Mobile said about Oreo Update for the V30..

Yes very funny indeed. I don't trust them to that word when it comes to software updates. The only thing I have to say is I'll believe it when I see it.

So how is everyone's battery life? I'm using my phone just as much as I did my 8+ and I'm getting significantly less battery life, granted the phone is a LOT faster but I'm down a good 20% when I leave work compared to what I was getting on the 8+. Still love the phone but just curious lol.

I'm getting the exact same battery life that I got on my Galaxy S8+.  Same apps, same settings, and same usage patterns.  

I turned off AOD and it resulted in big battery savings.

I am having battery issues even with screen off and the AOD turned off

Glad I'm not the only one, I've heard of bad battery life on the exynos version but not the snapdragon 845 version, I don't understand it usage hasn't changed from the S8+ but battery life is down a good 20% on average. Granted my phone lasts me all day but I'm getting home from work with 50% whereas on the 8+ I would be in the 70-75% range.

My phone only lasts a couple of hours. It's pretty sad actually

      Anyone else here use Verizon FiOS?

      By Trip · Posted

      (Sorry I never answered your last e-mail.  It's going to be time-consuming, so I've been dragging my feet.) I'm on FiOS and my service has been okay.  A few weeks ago, I was having an odd issue where certain websites were very slow to load, and it persisted until I rebooted the router.  Not entirely sure what was going on there.  But otherwise, no issues.  What happens if you ping or traceroute during these outages? - Trip

      After seeing gr8nuguy's S23 post for one, checked and found a 72MB Google Play System security update on S24+ unlocked.    Still a June 1st date however.

      If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
