    So much disappointment (S22 Ultra, US T-mobile)

    Yikes. My Note 9 purchased in late 2019 was fully charged to 100% last night, and when I checked it this morning exactly 12 hours later it was on 91%. The battery isn't anything like as long lasting as when I bought it of course, but I hate to think what it would be like now at this age, if that...

    Security updates

    Still on Nov 1st security patch in NZ. From this thread it looks like at least another 2 security updates before nothing at all? I don't care about general software updates, but as long as I'm still getting security updates I'm happy to keep this phone. ESPECIALLY as earbuds either seem to fall...

    [7/27/20] US unlocked from Samsung, new firmware this morning.

    You guys are lucky! Here in NZ we are still on May 1st security patch. No updates this month or last month at all. :( EDIT Oops scratch that!!! Just realised I'm in the wrong forum. I have a Note 9.

    An Update Finally!!

    Yeah we're a small country and never among the first places to receive updates, but that doesn't explain it in this case, as everything else is on a much newer security patch than the Note 9. In fact even the Note 8 is on Feb now. I'm still on December. Where abouts are you? The NZ Note 10...

    Android 10 available in Australia Note 9

    It arrived for NZ for the N9 two days ago, & this morning for my carrier. Out of curiosity, which security patch did you guys get with Android 10? We moved from Nov to Dec, in spite of newer security patches already being out for phones around the same age.

    An Update Finally!!

    Finally got a software update today - Android 10 + Dec 1st 2019 security patch. While I'm happy to have finally moved from an almost 4mth old security patch (Nov 1st) to a 3mth old one, I'm wondering why NZ is so far behind for this particular device. The Note 8 & S9 series are still on...

    Will the potential lack of a jack be a deal breaker?

    I plan on holding on to my Note 9 for a few more years yet. I LOVE new gadgets and having the latest bells and whistles but cannot financially justify replacing a phone less than three yearly (and even then that's bc Samsung generally stop providing security updates). As for the question of the...

    Is This Battery Life Pretty Pathetic?

    I'm getting 2-3 days out of 100% charge depending on usage. That's with maximum screen resolution too. The only power saving thing I've done is to turn off always on display & edge lighting.

    Note 9 Unlocked September Security Update is HERE!

    Thanks for the suggestion. I had only tried manually checking so I restarted & gave it 15mins but nothing, so tried manually checking again but it still says I have the latest updates installed (August 2018). Lies! This is the unlocked SM-N60F, & I'm on an open plan with my provider (Spark NZ)...

    Note 9 Unlocked September Security Update is HERE!

    No sign of any updates in NZ yet. I'm still on August 2018 security patch. I haven't received any software updates since the initial ones installed on unboxing in August

    Bent S Pen...

    I have a yellow pen & mine is bent very slightly too, same point of the pen as in your images. I noticed it when you pointed it out in your original post. I don't think I would have noticed it had you not pointed it out. It hasn't been dropped or bent so I'm pretty sure that's just how it...

    S Pen nibs - interchangeable??

    Ahhhhhh! Thanks so much MomoMilky. Google didn't reveal that post up when I searched a few days ago. Bummer that they won't work, but oh well. This pen nib is putting scratches & teeny dents in my screen protector. My N4 had the same type of PET protector (built into the Otterbox case) but I...

    S Pen nibs - interchangeable??

    I received 1 spare white tip & 1 spare grey tip with my Note 9, and 3 spare white tips & 2 grey tips with my Note 4. Seems Samsung were more generous in 2014! I still have all 5 spare N4 nibs & will use them on my N9 if someone is able to to confirm that will work & not break my pen. Hopefully...
