What Are The Most Common Pie Upgrade issues?/Warnings? Possible to Roll Update back?

[edo101]

Didn't know if this has been made yet but is there a comprehensive list of the most common Android Pie Issues or things to be aware of moving from Oreo or Nougat to Pie?

I myself am on a T Mobile Note 8. I've been holding off on updating because I don't know enough of what they take away and what breaks.

The only thing I know of is that Device Maintenance Edge panel is gone. I use that Edge panel quite a bit.

No. I have the call recorder on my N950N running Pie. Some countries have the call recorder disabled due to legal restrictions

Initially I was worried that the battery performance had declined, but after about a weeks usage I have found that the battery life is even better! It does take time for the update to settle in!

Has the update been worth it? And can you rollback?

 

[winol]

yes, it is possible, to any firmware with bootloader version 5

how can I install Pie without changing my bootloader?

i am not sure whether this problem of mine was before pie or not but i just started to notice it now..

my issues is with the push notifications delayed/not receiving while on mobile data but works fine when connected wo wifi. the "push notification tester" app also shows success every single time while i am connected to wifi while on mobile data it is not! it works for a while and then after it never pushes the notifications leaving notifications to come through only on opening the app.

also the internet connectivity in general with the mobile data works fine like chrome browsing, news, etc.. only the notification are affected. upon googling the same i am seeing a lot of folks complaining on the same with different network/carrier/service providers but there hasn't been one working solution for the same

has any one faced anything similar with the recent android versions - oreo or pie ? have any solutions pls ??

Things missing from oreo in pie I've noticed and had to go back to oreo.no edge lighting in samsung music,no apps work to hide the status bar for full immersive ,substratum don't work on pie so can't remove the Battery percent from always on display, really poor battery life 5 hours screen on time vs 8 hours on oreo, super ugly childish ui,wasted space at top of ui ,lots of stutters and a bit of lag here and there where there was none on oreo,one ui is not consistent throughout the entire ui colours messed up in certain apps so hard to read text .not all apps are updated to have the one ui look.camera layout sucks,audio quality volume goes up and down sometimes in headphones.bixby key can't be stopped like in oreo,clock in upper left and cant be put back to the right,can't use custom wallpaper in messaging app, Plus much more .I'm so glad I'm on oreo pie is not buit for the note 8 note 9 s8 or s9 imo


Ps smart lock was terrible on pie aswell it pretty much did not work

How were you able to go back down to Oreo?! I thought that was not possible. Were you using stock Pie?

I have 2 note 8 UK unlocked and uk ee the ee phone auto updated after I kept on delaying the update 9 times.i did not roll back I'm using my unlocked uk note 8 that was still on oreo .I used bk to block the promt.but I hear you can roll back from pie to oreo using Odin. But I'm not good with things like that.i sold my ee note 8 that got pie forced into it as the phone was ruined.its a disgrace that Sammy forced us to update and ruin our beloved phones
