    frustrated

    I tried quite a few cases before I found the Slim Meta case by Obliq: https://obliqproduct.com/products/galaxy-note-9-slim-meta-case?variant=8838649806902 It is a 2-piece case, TPU covered by a hard plastic shell. It is good looking, sturdy and best of all, it doesn't add much bulk to the phone.

    Pie Update and Bluetooth Issue

    Bluetooth connections have been working great for 3 weeks since I turned off optimize battery usage in the Bluetooth system apps and then reset the network settings (yes, I know this part is a pain, but it is working). Not sure why Samsung didn't figure this out before Pie update but hoping this...

    Pie Update and Bluetooth Issue

    Re: All of my synced bluetooth devices disappeared from phone just now. I was having this issue all the time after the Pie update. Found solution: Under Battery settings, I turned off "Put unused apps to sleep." Now my devices stay paired and automatically connect like before the update.

    Pie Update and Bluetooth Issue

    I think I may have found a solution to my paired Bluetooth devices not connecting. Under Battery settings, I turned off "Put unused apps to sleep." My smartwatch and car are now connecting automatically like before the Pie update.

    Are you using a screen protector or not?

    Have had Whitestone Dome on mine since Sept, is holding up well, keeps screen very responsive, is easy to clean. Worth the cost in my opinion.

    Pretty disappointed with the camera

    I am in the same boat, my Note 5 camera was amazing, my Note 9 which I got in August takes horrible photos.

    Do you feel you made a mistake?

    I love everything about the Note 9 except the camera, it is so crappy compared to the camera on my previous Note 5.

    Why did you pick the ecosystem you did?

    I have an Android phone, an iPad with iOS, and a desktop PC and Surface Pro with Windows. And prior to Android, I was a hard core Blackberry user. So I am comfortable working with just about any system. For me, the ability to customize my Android phone is a huge win for me, I hate how Apple...

    If you install EdgeLight edge panel, you can use edge lighting for calls when the phone is face up.
