Prashant, 30 Jul 2023What about VoLTE.You mean, do I find VoIP with fast low-latency LTE or even plain old GSM so incomprehensiblw so as to pine for the much-clearer VoLTE? Yeah, I'd gladly throw out the twice-as-much battery life when surfing, cursor control with volume buttons, at least an hour and a half (at least) more battery life at noticably higher volume that stock, and fully reprogrammed Bixby button to control music playback as well as launch JetAudio+ with the combination: press then hold. And Bixby actions also vibrate at varying lengths in milliseconds making them satisfying to use as well as letting you know that the action was executed successfully in addition to disabling the button's original functions when conditions dictate that they may perform their actions. And being able to kill naughty apps by holding the back button. And download/upload speed in notification bar letting you know if the Internet's working satisfactorily. Or Trebuchet launcher's native ability to lock any app behind a fingerprint and pattern, or even hide it from the list entirely... Or... Or...

Yeah, what is the advantage here? A bit clearer voice? VoIP is already digital and every smartphone supports that protocol.

        mostafamhmoud71, 29 Jul 2023No dex or any Samsung features works in aosp roms even volteI don't miss them and the freedom of choice and customization far outweighs those OEM gimmicks.

        Reprogramminh Bixby button with Physical Button Master Control, Optimized battery charging, built-in button customization, full-disk encryption, and so on.

        Using Nuked, L Speed, NFS Injector and SmartPack Kernel Manager (free on F-Droid) I was able to surf constantly for 4 hours with around 50% battery left.

        Kill inttusive and useless services with Nuked, uninstall it so NFS Pro version would execute Anti-spy, delete NFS's data folder in the module settings option inside NFS Manager every time you run Nuked or install LineageOS zip, flash Magisk zip to regain root after upgrade or reinstall without using ODIN to flash boot.img, use SmartPack to limit big and SMALL CPU's to around 1400 mHz without performance impact as well as decrease minimal frequency, use Neo Backup to backup everything (available of F-Droid), and use L Speed to finely tune the device. And don't forget to re-run Nuked for system and user apps every time you flash LineageOS zip, as well as delete NFS Data folder with every zip flash or Nuked script.

        Phone projected 8 hours of battery for non-stop surfing with Firefox.

        So many features gained for the loss of minor gimmicks like DeX.

        And remember to use earlier Magisk 25.3 when installing audio mods, after which you can upgrade tl newer 26.1.

            Prashant, 20 Jul 2023No. Change battery for more SoT.Actually, using NUKED Magisk module script to disable tracking/ad/analytics services, L Speed to finely tune device for optimal performance and then using NFS Injector Magisk module (along with the accompanying Manager apk from GitHub) and leaving it on Balanced mode gets me 5 hours of non-stop browsing using Firefox. The S9 (non-plus) I mentioned with LineageOS having battery after a week of being left with screen off had the NFS set on Battery option. I didn't even purchase the Pro version of NFS, simply set it on battery mode and that's it. So I'd say a bare-bones ROM like LineageOS with no apps except essentials (not even Google apps like Play Store, which needs you to flash MindTheGapps zip in recovery to get only the bare-bones essential Google apps, so no Gmail or YouTube) optimized with the methods above for getting max performance and battery life does get you more SoT (less apps = less battery usage) - but changing battery is also valid, which I also did so I have a brand new battery along with the optimizations. Also, using L Speed and NUKED, I have disabled the sensor during Doze which means apps stay hibernated in Doze regardless if you move the device or not, and L Speed activates Doze immediately after screen off instead of having to wait some time for it to kick in.

            And I'd like to correct a typo in my previous comment - it's not LineageOS 13, it's 20; I had Android 13 in mind (which is the Android version in LOS 20) so that's why I wrote 13 instead of 20.

                              Bought used pristine for cheap for 6 GB RAM and bigger battery over the regular S9. Installed LineageOS 13 and it's fast with an insane battery life! Plus Magisk + USB Sample Rate Unlocker module + USB SampleRate Changer script at boot that sets USB sample rate for USB DAC/AMPs at 768 kHz and now my Shanling UA3 plays music at 768 kHz!

                              I can't recommend the combo with LineageOS enough! With this custom ROM you get the latest Android 13 plus enough battery life to basically constantly browse the internet for more than 5 hours and you'll still have battery life to spare! Another phone, a regular Galaxy S9, with LineageOS has been left on standby for a week and still has battery!

                                Ahmad alhelal, 17 Jun 20235 years and this phone is going strong. Battery life still ... moreI just replaced my battery and it is like a new phone. Batteries, bulbs+ did the swap for around $75. Genuine Samsung battery and service was so fast, 3 hours! And, the wireless charging with my milliken mag chargers is great. Yes the camera is showing it's age but I have a Canon for serious photography. Love my phone for what I use it for. Music, GPS, internet on the go. Can't see myself changing for a good while.

                                  5 years and this phone is going strong. Battery life still ehhh but fast charge always save u. I been traveling lately so I miss the esim support. Plus not that many apps support SD card storage. So it has to eat from that internal storage =/.

                                  Conclusion:
                                  This phone is as reliable as Toyota cars =)

Here in India, no other smartphone company can give you automatic call recording service now. Other features mentioned by you are available on Samsung flagships. Battery stock problem after 5-6 years is same with almost all smartphone companies. If you want long software support, go with Samsung S23 series, you will get Android update till version 17. No other company gives 4 years of Android update and 5 years of security update.

                                        I have this phone for almost 5 years, Very good phone.Yes battery life is reduced but manageable. My phone is updated with March patch (India), will we get any more updates?
                                        Because my office outlook is stopped due to the reason of older version, any one else facing the same?

                                        Earlier I had Samsung S Advance, which I was unable to use after 5 years due to no stock battery available, will it be same for all Samsung phones?

                                        Due to this I am thinking of buying an Iphone, if so is it a good alternative for me? I always handle my gadgets with care.
