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

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
