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.

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.

That's not volte. That's calling plus now rebranded as LTE calling.

Ahh.  Oops.  Here is how I found it, by searching

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

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
