I guess this will be the last major update for our beloved Galaxy Note 9. Long story short, this update is amazing! The first thing I noticed after the update was the clear dark screen (it was a bit yellowish after few updates previously thought it was a defect but turns out to be software related). Not only that some cool features like:

  1. Wireless DeX
  2. SOS Messaging every 30min if location changes
  3. Video Pro Mode Histogram, 24 FPS on 4K and 1080p Pro Mode Video
  4. Keyboard Split when on landscape

I actually flashed the stock rom of Germany on my XSG device and seriously this is the best decision ever! Fluid performance and decent battery life!


EDIT
*Hey guys many of my subscribers been complaining about yellow tint or so called discoloration. I had it on my local ROM as well but flashing Germany ROM fixed it. No overheat, no discoloration, excellent performance and battery. So if you want to end these issues than follow this video

And they call it ***an update***? Except Wireless DEX barely any notable worthy changes. Camera was crap and still is.

Did anyone notice that the low light video recording looks way less noisy compared to the previous updates on the Exynos model. Makes me very angry that it took so long to fix these issues. I will never recommend buying new Samsung devices again.

Haven't gotten it on my N9 yet, but just received it on my Tab S6. Finally! I can use the full screen gestures on Nova Launcher! Can't wait you get it on my unlocked Note using the TMO firmware. There's the only thing that had completely bummed me out with the upgrade to Android 10 - third party launchers lost a lot of their usability with the upgrade & I hate having to use OneUI without being did to use Nova....

Mic selection toggle is unavailable on the NOTE 9

I've upgraded it mostly to get the Mic selection option but it's an s10+ or later exclusive... such a shame !!!
Is that a method ti get the s10+ camera apk into N9 without root?
The funny thing is that the N9 app is a newer version so it's impossible to downgrade via apks...
SMH...

Regretfully the Galaxy Note9 on my hand is still running One UI 2.1, though the firmware is already the latest one.
Note: the actual model of my Galaxy Note9 is SM-N9600 under TGY.

T-mobile GN9 user here, still don't have the update. I'm in the USA (California, specifically). According to this site, it's listed as Coming Soon for the USA and Canada. I tried forcing to lookup the update (by checking for software updates in settings), no luck.

Not released for USA yet. You guys often seem to be the last in getting updated. No idea if it's because you've got Snapdragon CPUs and not Exynos or it's just a carrier thing.

Got the update this morning, on T-mobile in California (USA).

Alright, so now that we've got it, can someone explain to me how to use Wireless DeX? Specifically, I'm unclear about the connection requirements.

Damn it!

I must not understand how this works... I've got a 960U1 (US unlocked) & I'm on TMO. I expected to get the update via TMO but apparently not.

What gives? Does anyone know?

I dunno if anyone understands how it works.
I have the U1 on TMO as well. No update.
I think it will come eventually, but the rollout schedule of these things makes zero sense.

Edit: Maybe the rollout schedule is prioritized to service all carrier models first, then the U1 last.

Received the update this morning on Old Folks Cellular (Consumer Cellular - unlocked N9). lol.

CC is affiliated w/ AT&T and TM, so hopefully you will receive the update soon.

Does anyone know the apk file name for the "Send SOS Messages?"

Can I assume the One UI update is the one starting with F? Like “FTJ8”. The SM-N9600 (the model I've got) has only got an F series firmware for Open China, but I guess that one doesn't have Google services.

There's another recent update, ETK2, but I don't think it's One UI 2.5.
