S9/S9+ Annoyances

[Perera30]

Here's another Annoyance - Closing Multi Window apps.
Selecting Close All never actually closes the apps in the multi window, It only exit Multi Window mode.
And the two apps still runs in the background.

Other method: Touch and release the middle of the dividing line between the two apps, and touch X to exit.
Again, this only exit out of Multi Window mode.
you still have to click Close all to close both open Apps.
Too many steps...Annoying!

Too many steps to Block a phone number.

Only way to block a number is by:
Phone Icon/ Recents
click once on the phone number
on the drop down, select details
and select Block number at the lower right corner

I know so many clicks, Annoying!

Annoyances are:

1. Its a big phone. (not an S9 PLUS). Just the S9. And it is still big.
2. The physical buttons are placed on the sides instead of on the top. Really annoying.
3. And, I hate the all glass look..The phone is still fragile (even with a rugged case on it), and despite the fact that its IP68 water resistant, I wouldn't even make calls out in the rain.

Other than those, I am really satisfied with my S9.

I totally agree on the high volume warning. I can't stand it! It could easily cause someone to get into an accident if they try to change the volume on their phone while driving and then have to dismiss that pop up message. Fortunately, it only pops up once per reboot of the phone. I've gotten in the habit of turning on my Bluetooth earpiece after a reboot and turning the volume up just to dismiss the pop up.

You can disable the high volume warning with the Samsung System UI Tuner app available in the play store. There's a bunch of other things you can do with it as well. I also use it to hide the battery and alarm icons.

Coming over from years of droids, this S9+ is quite a change.I dont care for the volume issues.

In Pie, Bixby button now requires two presses to activate. God just murder Bixby please. The volume (too high) and brightness (too high yes they do that too) pop ups suck and need to go. Edge lighting is the biggest POS ever. Downloaded Edge + for extra options. Edge worked on Samsung Music (screen on only) and Textra (screen on only). Then it stopped for Samsung Music. Then it stopped for Textra. I guess soon it will stop for SnapChat as well. Tried every setting and every fix, it is just a great little toy that they ****ed up completely. Fingerprint sensor by far the fastest and most efficient way to unlock screen. Pie is nice cut me a slice. Edge Lighting epic failure. Love the 30 second option for Always on Display. they got that update right.
