Pie Update. Some Awful Changes

[Android Central Question]

Just updated.... Tbf it's not a bad update but I do have a few dislikes. The new icons are awful, very childish looking. The time on the notification bar...why move to the left it was fine. Notifications......why can i not see them when I pull down from the top. I've looked in settings to change all this but you cant. these are just the basic changes God help me when I go into it more

What device? Different devices will have different visual impacts based on what the manufacturer has designed for their interface.

Moved to that forum.

I believe that the clock was moved to the left in pie to accommodate phones with a notch.

BTW, how does one without an AC account get to start a thread?

It's a feature of the site, they can only ask a question in the ask a question forum as a guest. If a mod thinks the question is better suited in another forum section it will be moved.

Pie sucks, plain and simple. It has downgraded my Note 9 so much that I want my money back.

I've seen worse. This happens every year, everyone wants the updates and then the problems come.

Looking forward to hearing about your progress with that!

Well, not everyone

Give it time. Lol

I am tolerating it as best as I can. OneUI is not something that would have ever asked for and no amount of time is going to fix the majority of issues that it created.

Try to hold out until Android Q

Not like I have any choice about it either way.

Well that's in your hands for Choices.

Normally I use my SD card as the default storage after every picture or video taken.
Had to come out of that mode for a couple of days because I wanted to double check the quality of the pics before sending to SD card to verify process is working correctly after this pie update.

However when done, I went to send those pictures that were saved in cameras internal storage to SD card and the now that process seems to have changed.

You use to click on Internet storage and then click on edit, select pictures you want and then send them to the sd card folder you've set forth.

I hope it just isn't me. You still can do this, but now you have to open the gallery app first, and then proceed with selecting and sending to folders you've set forth you've chosen for storing your pictures in the SD card.
I don't like this way.

The old way was to open internal storage. Select files, then move to SD card folder you've chosen.

Question, has anyone else noticed this or tried this lately?

Not sure if this is what you mean, but this is how I move pics without going into the gallery. I open my files, click internal and select what pics I want to move, click move at the bottom. Then I click the home folder at the top. Go down to SD card and click my folder and then click move here. To me if just seems like the process is longer on pie than it was on oreo or maybe I didn't really notice.

Not really. I'm stuck with my Note 9 for a while and AT&T doesn't really carry anything besides Samsung and Apple.

Can't you buy almost any phone and use it on AT&T? Are you locked into AT&T?
