Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Australian Thread

[numloxx1978]

There was an Aussie thread for the S8, so thought would start one for Aussie users of the Note 9.
Anything and everything...
Enjoy

I have the Note 9 from Telstra, I preordered the Ocean Blue 512B model and loving it. I haven't rooted or custom flashed this, and I don't think I will this time. I normally root every device I own. So far the only thing I miss is AdAway, but am using DNS66 for blocking adverts.

I have an Otterbox Symetry case, but no screen protector yet.

512Gb Ocean Blue from Optus here.

Was considering flashing the stock XSA firmware - but not sure whether it will get updates that much faster than carrier branded ones.

Anyone already got the latest Sep update (with the camera improvements)?

Black 512gb model from JB hi-fi I am contemplating rooting, but I have swift installer and adhell3 along with debloated. Only reason I'll root is for better battery life and optimisation. I'm also wondering if anyone has gotten the Sept update.

It's too late for me to root mine. I refuse to backup my apps and data to any cloud storage and there's no chance of Helium doing what it used to for non-rooted phones on this current generation so bugger it.

Telstra 512gb black here. Using bare case be sure I like my phones slim. Using square home 2 launcher.
Came from htc u11. Always root but I have to admit that Samsung have really buttoned this phone up.
I've even ditched several apps that I've used for ages and give back to stock. Examples are textra, true phone and solid explorer all now dropped for stock feature rich apps.
Still using a+ glaaerh abc sh2 launcher though.

Not all updates are a positive step forward. If the phone does what it needs to for now, don't be in such a hurry. Wait for others to be the guinea pigs before you jump on board.

Seriously, being an upgrade junkie might be instantly gratifying at the time of downloading but it can also be a painful experience too.

Got Whitestone Dome screen protector yesterday.

512GB Ocean Blue since the launch day. Waiting for September Security Patch. With Optus right now, tried flashing XSA by unlocing bootloader but it stays OPS no matter what!

Anyone else having any luck?

 

[Dolgogi]

Optus, Ocean Blue 512gb pre-order.
Rocking the Whitestone Dome screen protector and the included Samsung clear case at the moment.

Love it.

Just downloading the September security & camera update via OTA now.

 

[numloxx1978]

Which telco are you with? Nothing yet for Telstra. But SamMobile shows its out for Optus and Vodafone.
