Roll back to Android 8, I had the same issue updating to 9, my a8 is 8 months old. When surfing the net or playing games, it gets very hot and battery life is like 6 hrs. Rolled back to 8 and it's a new phone. The trouble with new ui updates is that it gets written on top of the previous ui...

Pixel 3xl is amazing. I borrowed one for a week and it's the best bare Android I have ever used. So smooth and fluid. Samsung, LG, HTC all rubbish. It's got all the pre-installed rubbish that you cannot uninstall. The Pixel is definitely my next phone if Samsung cannot repair my phone after the...

I had the same problem, wiped cache partition, did another reset and no luck. I rolled it back to android 8 and it's like a brand new phone, responsive and 1000 times better battery life. Phone is only 8 months old too. Roll it back to 8 and you will be happy.

I can strongly understand security updates but I don't need a new UI. Samsung could have offered a security update only. From past experiences with many brands of smart phones, I believe that if you want that new UI, get the new phone. My A8 had Android 7 which was perfect and I did update to 8...

If your phone is stolen, the thief can do a hard reset on the phone anyway and the phone is in use minus your data

I thought android is meant to be a alternative to apple, being able to customise a phone to the individual liking. Android 5 was but android 6 is starting to become like Apple. An individual should have the right to choose which method to unlock the phone on startup. Steve Jobs is laughing in...

What's the point of having a finger scan if you can't use it on startup? How is a pasword more secure than a finger scan? What about choice? Isn't that what android is meant to be about compared to apple? Isn't the whole idea about android is to customise the phone settings to an individuals...
