Oh heavens to Betsy, the shutter sound toggle is STILL in the camera app!! Are non-beta users still seeing the camera shutter sound toggle in Camera Settings?? 

Yeah, no VoLTE yet. Night mode actually sticks now! Camera seems faster, but they kept the swipe format for video recording, which nearly every user in the Beta complained about. Thanks a lot Samsung. (previously it was just a button inside the regular camera mode, which many felt was more convenient). Clock is still on the left instead of the right (no toggle to change that I can find), but that's to prep for the camera punchout on the S10. 

I'll have to test out call quality on WiFi calling, LTE calling, and standard. Was not the best on the Betas for me. 

I have the S9+ and I was on the Beta. My update was 243 MB in size instead of 2 giggles. 

I can toggle the shutter sounds on and off and I came from the beta.

Just got the first Android 10 beta update for my S9, and it had the VOLTE toggle on it. Hurray

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

I'm pretty sure the clock arrangement is just a part of Pie now. It can be changed but most OEMs, whether they use a notch or not, have split the clock from the battery and network indicators.

If they didn't enable VoLTE then I would assume they must realize the network still isn't fully ready for it yet.  If that's the case then why are some phones allowed to to use it? Whatever the case, there is obviously a clear reason for it. I guess we just aren't yet privy to it.

I'm willing to bet that Samsung was more concerned with getting Pie out as soon as possible despite of any other features that are carrier specific.

I noticed after the recent update, I still have the Samsung members app.  I thought they would get rid of this after the final release??

Yeah I had it on mine as well, but I just did a format so I'm back to stock and it's gone now.

I just got an update this morning.to my Galaxy S9. Some of the icons were changed.  Now it looks like a phone for the kindergarten.
Not professional looking at all.
Screenshots?

I guess it could be your review of the new UI elements, but perhaps you also have "Easy Mode" turned on? The icons didn't change all that much with the Android Pie update. The Settings Menus have changed visually. Easy Mode is ridiculous looking, so maybe it's that. Search settings for Easy Mode to find the toggle.

Easy Mode is turned off.  My displeasure is the Message, clock, contacts, Gallery and phone icon changes which are the focus of my eye when I made the comments.  Just give me the old fashioned icons.

T-Mobile finally updated their model of the S9 so the unlocked version shouldn't be very far behind. 
I'm waiting for mine to get the Android pie update. I have the T-Mobile version as well as Sprint and my T-Mobile version does not have Android pie yet

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
