    Checked the missus phone about an hour ago and the was ready to download (s9plus on virgin media) . Its downloaded and all but typical she didn't charge her phone and only had 14% so it'll have to wait a bit.

    No such luck with my S9+ on Eir.
    I live in hope.

    Sometimes they randomise access to update downloads to prevent overloading servers. So it can be pot luck.

    I got it on a 3 issued Note 9.

    Ah ok, the network makes no difference in your case, it's an unlocked phone so you got the software as soon as Samsung released it to Spanish phones.

    How's everyone finding Android Pie?

    Initially I HATED it but now I'm used to it and like it. The new app tab section where you flick them closed makes me forget that I've lsods of apps open so I'm not too sure what to make of that yet.

    When I take a photo using WhatsApp, it immediately zooms In a bit for some reason. Something annoying I noticed.

    WhatsApp icon on notifications is blue when the real icon should be green.

    Overall liking it so far. Apparently the Google pixel camera app works well on Pie?

    Haven't noticed anything yet. Slight decrease yesterday perhaps, but I was playing around with it a lot yesterday

    Anyone getting random reboots since the update? I have woken up at least twice to the phone having rebooted durning the night.
    Also happened once while I was using it.

    Anyone having problems with NFC on Android Pie? Only able to top up my Leap card when I have close to full battery on my S9+. As soon as it drops below 70%ish I can't interact with any NFC tags. It'll sometimes open the app when it detects a tag but errors out any time you try to do a sustained read.

    Do you have 'Auto Restart' switched on?

    Settings > Device Care > Menu > Auto Restart

    Nope, thanks for the suggestion though.
    Saw on reddit others have reported similar reboots, assume it's a rare enough problem at least.

    Updated to it on my S9+ (VF image) 2 days ago... no reboots or issues so far.

    Not sure I like it though. Seems a bit "dumbed down"? Or maybe it's that it screwed up my theme.

    I feel the same, it looks a bit childish with the logos...i preferred it when there wasn't a white background around half of them. Time to look for an icon pack or something.

    I hated it at the start too but now I'm really used to it. Sure it's a little too white but there's a night mode which helps. For an alternative to plain white.

    I have nova launcher her installed. I might disable it for a few days and check out the proper stock Samsung Android Pie.

    I use Nova years but went with a theme called "Gold and Carbon" from the app that makes it a lot more pleasing to the eye IMO
