Got the official android pie One UI update tonight and just wtf is this mess ? I like the reachable menu items but no swiping across to access the next menu item is less intuitive. Swiping down to access notification is now drawn out, a quick flick down doesn't open it you have to drag your finger down. Performance modes seem to be missing.

All in all it just looks like iPhone OS.

I'll get used to it a guess, well I'll have to won't I ?

I'm sure there's more I'm going to complain about as I've only been on Pie for about 20mins.

I completely agree. It's really terrible.
What have they done to multitasking?
You used to be able to swipe from one corner of a full screen app to put it in windowed mode. That's completely gone.
In order to use split screen you have to go into recents. Swipe back to the app you were using (because it moves away from view). Tap the icon at the top of the app. Select "open in split screen view". Then either scroll through all your recent apps to find the one you want to have one the bottom half of the screen. Or if it isn't in your recent apps you have to find it by typing into a search box! (You can't even switch which is top and bottom any more.)
In Oreo you just opened recents tapped split screen on one app and selected the other from the app-list in the bottom.

Totally! I am so frustrated that I threw my phone from a moving car. Never touching a Samsung again. That will teach them. I bet they will go out of business now!
You're right, what was I thinking. I should be grateful that they ever allowed me to give them money in the first place! Praise be to Samsung.

Nah it's good to let people know so we can find fixes, instead of the usual sucking Samsungs **** :mad:

No-one else has these problems so it's not the OS, have you factory reset yet?


Always factory reset after a major OS update Oreo > Pie


Or as I already explained how to, flash back to Oreo

It's a new OS, it is different to the last one, there is an easy way to go back, no-one likes listening to someone complaining about everything possible in multiple threads for no reason other than you don't like it, that's not productive and is not going to change anything, so either learn to live with it or flash back to Oreo


Why keep complaining you don't like Pie when you absolutely do not have to use it? It's just whining mate, no-one likes that and all you'll do (As is already happening) is annoy other members


If you're having problems with it, then by all means ask questions on how to fix it, but don't just keep posting the same old thing over and over saying it's crap it's crap, you don't like it, we get it ;)


EDIT - Go spam Samsung's twitter account with your dislikes, at least the people who did this horrendous thing to your phone will hear you that way

Come on mate, you must know it's not helping anything, totally understand it's not cool when features you used are removed, happened to me with my S7 and I took Samsung's head off about it, but other than an initial post here asking where it had gone, there's no need to keep hammering it, it's gone.


If you need a hand flashing back to Oreo I`ll happily help, only take a few mins once you have the firmware downloaded

Calender app is unusable, I will be adding more complaints as I find them.
One answer to that is dont use Samsung apps. I have plenty of space so I use the Google dialer, Google Messages, and Google calendar. In fact, I don't use any stock Samsung apps and have most of them disabled along with Samsung Experience Home. With Home disabled the recent menu is vertical again. Of course, with receents vertical you can't use the hold home slide right option.

You can disable Bixby and Software updates using Package Disabler Pro, does not require root either
