    So what changes would you make to the Note 9?

    For me, I would like the AOD to have an indicator for charging mode (Fast/Normal) and time to full charge

    Suggestion for Samsung Note 9 Themes

    I tried keyboard using High Contrast, but found the keys do not have accent symbols/punctuation with long press, which I used a lot (e.g. $ ? ! etc). I installed basic Swiftkey (without account/backup). I like the option to increase the size of the keyboard although the contrast is not as high...

    Suggestion for Samsung Note 9 Themes

    This is great info - I had ruled out some themes as the supplied icon layouts were not nice. I am now using High_Contrast_Theme_II, which has a slightly better keyboard layout, but changed the icon to the default icon. This seems like a reasonable combo for now. I will take a look at swiftkey...

    High_Contrast_Theme Settings menu (found this a lot easier to view than the default inverse video one)

    Suggestion for Samsung Note 9 Themes

    I had a good look and chose the "High_Contrast_Theme" under the Top/Free section. I like the keyboard with well defined square for each key, with shortcuts, and also simple plain black screen. Will take another look later.

    Question about charging

    FWIW, I contacted Samsung support about this, and was advised that Fast Charging will not degrade the battery.

    Suggestion for Samsung Note 9 Themes

    Hi, I am currently using the default Note 9 themes. The settings menu and on-screen keyboard are shown with inverse colors (black character on white background). Generally, I prefer light color on dark background. I took a look at the themes, and found most to be too busy. I actually don't...

    Samsung rugged protective case

    I saw both the black and silver case at the T mobile shop, and preferred the Silver case as it has a premium look with a bit more shine than the black one. The case is very well built and fits nicely. I have been charging the phone with the case on the Samsung Duo Wireless charger, and fast...

    Samsung Duo Wireless Charging rate

    Thanks for the tip on the charging message. I just charged the phone and saw the message that it was doing Fast wireless charging (with and without the Samsung Rugged case), both showing same charging time of 41m with phone 78% charged.

    Samsung Duo Wireless Charging rate

    I charged my Note 9 using the Samsung Duo Wireless charger, and saw the charge went from 35% to 60% in about an hour, about 25% charge per hour. Is this the expected charging rate for the Duo? Thanks.

    Note 9 Swiping Home/Apps screen circular fashion

    With my Note 9, when I swipe left and move from Home screens to the Apps screens, it stops at the last Apps screen (right most), but does not move on to the Home screen in circular fashion, like I could do with my old Note 3. Is there a setting to enable the "circular" swipe feature (i.e. when...

    pre order headphones

    I received my phone yesterday, and registered for the AKG last night. The status status is still shown as "Under Review". I was also concerned that there might be a limit and miss out. I chatted with Samsung support and was told it would take at least 48 hrs before approval. He said something...

    So... All day battery life???

    I have just got the phone yesterday, and been very impressed with the Note 9 battery performance. I am not a heavy user, mostly reading news/email. Since using the phone from ~ 8am - 10pm, the phone is still showing 56% battery. With my old Note 3 phone, I would have to charge the phone...
