What Baseband should I have - UI looks different after update - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Thanks for reading.
I had to reinstall my phone a couple of days ago due to a weird Asking for Password when I turned the phone on. Never have set up a password and could not get past this.
After installing the following, a few things looked different. For example on the home screen there was a slide out on the left and that had as I recall three layers. One was a compass, the other was several apps, can't actually recall what the other one had in it.
Now there is a slide out on the right with just one panel of apps, and no compass at all. In fact I cannot find a compass on the phone at all.
Notifications icons used to be right at the top, now they appear under the time and date.
I used to get a different tome for a received text compared to say a messenger notification however now they are all the same.
Mentioning the above if it provides any clues.
A few other differences as well.
I ran a factory reset and installed fresh as follows ; ( Optus Australia - but the phone is unlocked so I could install anything )
Galaxy S9+ (SM-G965F)
PDA G965FXXUHFVG4
CSC G965FOXMHFVB4
Should I have installed the XSA instead as follows ? ;
PDA G965FXXUHFVG6
CSC G965FOXMHFVE2
Any thoughts on why the layout and basic contents be different ?
I tried running an Update however the message says it is up to date, although if I take a look at the Android Patch Level screen there are updates through to August but it shows I am on 1 March 2022 ?
Confused ..
Thanks

Settings -> Display -> Edge panels -> Panels
There should be one that says "Tools"
It will add the compass to the edge screen you're talking about.
As for the rest of your question, I have no clue

Menu Icon and others on top row not working [Solved]

I picked up my max yesterday and have been mostly enjoying it.
Trying to determine if others are seeing the same problem with apps that have the menu (three vertical dots) at the top of the screen. I've found that none of the icons work up there.
Example, in the default messaging app, there are three icons at the top when in the 'All Messages' screen: A (search) magnifying glass, a (new message) plus sign, and the (menu) three stacked dots.
None of them works. I've found the same in the Dialer app that has the same icons on each of the screens.
Tried a chat with HTC, and their first step in 'trouble-shooting' was to suggest a factory reset.
SOLUTION: After some piddling, I found out that if 'Show Animation' is disabled in developer options, it breaks some of those menus/functions.

Thanks for the post. I was losing my mind over this. I did a factory reset and it fixed it. then I eventually went back and unchecked show animations. then i s off and after that i checked my menu buttons and they weren't working again!! i was not pleased so i searched and found your post. that was the culprit.

Android update 6.0.1 issues

For me, after the update there are several issues:
Home screen apps were removed.
I can't remove icons from home screen. Dragging works, but can't reach the trashcan on top of the screen... It works only when automatic screen rotation is on and the phone is used in "landscape". In other situations the top of the screen works fine, just can't remove icons from home screen.
Where's the option to arrange icons by Name? Is it been removed? Could'nt find it anywhere.
I refuse to believe that these are all my own problems

After the update?? The phone came with marshmallow already, you mean the incremental firmware? All the things you say are there. Try to re-flash the firmware. You don't need to wipe user data, Only if you want a clean installation.

Using a default launcher in pointless, when there are a lot good alternatives available, so select some and just use it.

BLA L29, Various bugs & issues [update: replaced device which was defective]

So, i've had the BLA - L29 C436 (mate 10 pro EU) for a couple of days and these are my good views and bad views on it :
Cons :
- had issues with a message form android system that i can't away . a) even if i go into the notification -> system apps -> Android system and take all the notifications to off. b) when you normally tap "done" it should go away, which it doesn't . This for apps that normally "display over other apps" like blue light filters.
- had issues with wifi. Some times it works well (full download speed) sometimes it doesn't. Especially on spotify wen normally my home speed is at 7megs/second, there it performers at 200kb/sec.
- had issues also with "full screen apps". On my Note8, i normally don't have issues, but here... it bugs.
- seems like the Kirin 970 (AI?) doesn't want to work well with certain apps, as they seems really slow. Maybe it needs more time to know my habits, but sometimes i really have the impression of big lags
- Overall the UI seems and bit buggy... I hope they come out with an update soon
- No push on native email app with a google account (????!!!).
- Some issues with TeslaUnread (Nova launcher plugin) numeris badges that flick on the main home screen, and more precisely with the email app.
- They advertised the "dynamic lockscreen wallpaper" that isn't yet available, Apparently it's coming with an update / or has already been released for C636.
- They still didn't understand to separate notifications and ringtone volume. The two are still working in pair
Pros
- Very good cellular reception. Apparently it has a very high SAR so that might be the reason.
- Camera isn't bad at all - but maybe not worth the Note 8 with Camera mod. Still testing it.
- Battery life (but the phone is still young)
Any ideas how to get that annoying "system" notifications away?
update 21/11 : Called Huawei today, they said these issues are not normal, so brought it back to the shop got a new one... i'll be testing in the future days to see if i get the same issues.

If you are talking about the "xxxxx app is running in background" that is something introduced in Oreo and has nothing to do with EMUI

No my issue is more about the overlay.
Anyhow,
had too many issues with it at the moment. Even the BT in my car today got cut when i got a message while listening to some music... and then never reconnected right away.
I'm putting it in quarantine until a firmware will come out and fix these wifi, overlay, bt, fullscreen issues i have.
sweet dreams M10pro (firmware 115 on C436)
Sadly android Oreo is still new. A lot of other handsets are still in beta. Huawei was brave to release it with Oreo straight away but they couldn't really release it with Nougat or there would be complaints. Have faith and patience in the firmware updates but don't lose faith in the hardware. It's a seriously impressive bit of kit.
Hi, I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) in Czech republic (from Wonda mobile)
Issues:
1) "Home button" always switch back to default launcher!! Please help! How to allow different launcher?
- It makes the phone unusable for me. :crying:
2) No updates found (- why? What about 119?)
3) It is not possible to configure virtual buttons / commands. <- EMUI feature?
- I miss: "Open menu" function and "Switch to the last app"
4) I do not want to use Lock screen! (magazine pictures is the default, impossible to disable it) <- EMUI feature?
Do you have any advice?

Go to apps. Default apps. And select your launcher.
I'm pretty sure there's an option somewhere to disable magazine picture. I came across it yesterday

1. Settings - Apps - Settings - default apps setting - Launcher
2. Maybe it haven't been pushed yet. Patience is a virtuo.
3. It is possible to configure buttons
Settings - Smart assistants - System navigation - Settings
Open menu disappeared from android many versions ago, I belive in Ginger Bread. It was replaced with 3 dots in GUI.
Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)
4. What do you mean you don't want to use Lock Screen?
If you have pin, pattern or finger print unlock you must have a lock screen. If you disable all security then when you open the phone it will go straight to your home screen.
Settings - Screen lock & password - Password

Hi, thanks for your help
1) Yes, I was blind, sorry! - OK :good:
2) So 636 for europe is OK?
3) (I have "Open menu" in 7.1.2.) In some apps are not other way to open menu directly. :/
"Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)"
- Yes, thanks! But this is not supported (?) by using fingerprint scanner (only default: tap=back, hold=home, swipe=recently)
4) I mean simply not use lock screen, passwords, pattern , etc. So that the last application or screen is always displayed when the display is turned on.

ALSO what's kernel date?
I've got the standard Mate 10 and I haven't got any of the issues you described
FYI , my previous M10 Pro L29 - C432 had issues i would said dead on arrival style..
Huawei told me to bring it back, and thats what i did, and got a new ones.
Now things are working perfectly (except the overlay message i can't get rid of).
I just updated my firmware to 125 via FunkyHuawei (very easy to do if you follow the instructions (thumbs up to @duraaraa )

I couldn't test the 120, as it was on the old ALP-L29 which was defective. But 125 seems stable and working well. I will only be able to tell you about battery in 3-4 days once i got some cycles in.
Update to firmware 125, still got the gmail notification bug. I test several launcher, seems a EMUI related bug cause i can delete the mail from notif with Nova launcher.

[ OPEN BETA Program ] [ ONLY for Chinese Find X variant ] colorOS 5.2

all of you on chinese variants of Find X, can now upgrade to new colorOS 5.2 simply by installing Beta App below , follow on screen steps and after that: go to normal upgrade method from Settins. You will have new OTA ready to download
Not applicable for Global and European variants CPH1871 / 75 .
LINK
After that you'll get a developer mode WITHOUT that annoying red banner in top notifications. You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade), but NO Icons in Top. Fastboot unlock is still not possible. There is a higher Battery drain.
Btw: looks like, you CAN'T downgrade to official firmware yourself. So please TAKE CARE.

Still no notifications when the screen is off. Just a sound.
Smartthings\Hue\Yi Home\Google Home\ HotUKdeals\Whatsapp\Blue mail\WearOS apps no notifications
And I get no notifications from my phone to my android TV via the app Notifications For Android TV
Think I may sell this phone and move on.

"You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade)"
Wish I got that
Is it correct that this information can not be returned to the official firmware?
After messing around for some time. I get notifications from most app when the screen is on.
But when the lock screen(blank black) starts, I get no notifications what so ever. Just sounds.
Anyway to fix this?
What's new in colorOS 5.2?
I get no notification issues and I use this china variant on color os5.1, for notifications ( FOR ALL apps, allow ALL PERMISSIONS, go to power management app and disable ALL power saving features for said apps as well as allowing all permissions from "power management" and this works for me even with screen off i get my notifications with the edge notification light
Most of my apps are now working as should(smartthings won't give notifications).
I went on to the beta and then I reset everything, and all has been great.

Yes it is. I've tried to make downgrade and doesn't work. The recovery says that the version that I've installed is newer than the latest official and abort the flash process. Fortunately the beta works pretty good but keep it in mind.
As supposed...latest ColorOS 5.2 arrived, and sadly nothing interesting
Does this allow for more "locked" apps or at least do away with the need for locking apps?

Rolled the dice and found out that:
- It does not remove the need for locking or increase the 5 app limit
- It also does not allow more than 5 apps to auto startup
Interesting development though: after doing the beta firmware update, I can no longer get into Phone Manager (and thus cannot easily get into auto startup apps)
After tapping on "Phone Manager", I get a screen overlay message that says "Permission Denied".
Can confirm that it does remove the dev orange bar. It will not remove the orange bar that is present from using Accessibility Settings.
EDIT: Updates as I poke around below
------
- After update: Shut down and Start up now retain my accessibility settings (previously even answering the phone would reset them). I use accessibility to add navigation options to the side of the device.
- I deleted com.coloros.safecenter, and now I have no "Auto Startup" options in individual app info. I'm unsure if this is just a new development in the beta or not though. I also still cannot get into the app Phone Manager (where auto startup is usually collected)
- I now also have some sort of flyout thing on the right side containing "Quick Access" apps. I never had this before. This is controlled from: Settings > Smart & Convenient > Smart Sidebar
- A new app inside of Accessibility permissions showed up called "Baidu IME for OPPO", but I'm pretty sure this was stock and I had just removed it right when I got the phone
- I'm also able to swipe notifications to the right to dismiss!

So you still have the continous weird flashing statusbar? (You use accesability, right?) Or is that gone after reboot?

Still have it unfortunately And yes, I'm using accessibility. Beta DOES get rid of the yellow bar if you only have Developer Mode enabled.
I've gone through one entire reinstall because I removed some pretty necessary stuff without pulling the APK's first. Now I'm an expert at backups of both individual APK's and the entire system through ADB hahaha.
I'm working on a guide to "westernize" or "un-colorOS"ing this phone and will be aggressively deleting apks to try and get rid of the yellow bar.
I did find that they have
Code:
com.android.systemui.PLUGINS
and that gets spawned from a ColorOS apk but I can't seem to remove the plugin. I have a hunch that's where it lives, since the orange bar groups everything under the "System UI" grouping.
Will keep you all updated!
EDIT: Oh! I was also able to create a +1 phone number account through oppo id services and use that to restore back to stock Beta after I screwed up the phone without backing anything up this first time. So I wouldn't be too scared of doing this upgrade. You can at least restore back to beta.
Had a little update.

Well I hope so as I'm on the beta as well.
Thank you, I ran it but till now no notification about the new beta.

New software version in India - available

Just got new software version (still android 10)
Downloaded and installed.
March 1 security update.
Not sure whats new in it except security patch.
Is it stable? Did it resolve any bugs?
Yes. It is official update from system update center.
Visually i can see change in volume bar style and dot in bottom navigation bar to auto hide and unhide
The battery life seems to have take a hit.

Same here in USA.
The volume rocker visualization has changed.
Instead of a bar across the top, there is now a bubble bar with a settings circle on the left.
Still searching for a change log but haven't found one yet.
New Feature?
I stumbled across the ability to use two apps on one screen since the update.
Using the native android method of pressing and holding the recent apps button.
I'm almost 100% positive this was not available before the update - though I used it extensively on my old phone.

Hi, quick question. Can this multi window function work in gesture mode (in place of the usual navigation buttons)? Asking as there is no 'recent app button' in the gesture mode. Thanks!
Definitely battery get a hit.
