Hey folks can anyone help me for the reason as below:
1. Some times contacts are not displaying or take more than one minute to displaying. In both cases normal and in call.
2. Recent update of Samsung Music player ruin the simplicity and clean interface of the app. The album thumbnails are look very big and ugly like seen on a vga screen in my S9. My eye sight is normal and i don't like to use any app meant for pepole witl low vision. Is there any way to bring back 3 in a row style of thumbnails? Thanks

Battery drain quickly, make sure you update all the apps through the google app store and all the Samsung the software updates in the settings (swipe down and touch the gear icon, which is the shortcut icon to the settings). Just had one today that included the September security patch for android. Second make sure no apps are running in the background (drains battery and may eat data since content/information always refreshes every certain amount of time). Also i would suggest turn off the data, if you are using wifi in the home or friends or like a restaurant that offers free wifi for its customer. Also make sure your are using the original charger for this phone that is included in the box, no third party or counterfeit ones that you get cheaply (I think the phone will tell you charger is not genuine or charge slowly (not really, since it may not even charge at all)). If all of this doesn't work, try this before going to bed, let the phone drain completely (turns the phone off on its own), then after about a 1 minute plug it in using the original charger or if you own the wireless charger pad from Samsung, again no weird third party crap, use that to completely charge to 100% while you sleep. Then try to use the phone normally. If that still doesn't work, then i would suggest contacting Samsung or find a different phone according to your liking.

Just bought myself a S9 for 489 euros with the promotion here in France. Great price for a flagship launched at 849 euros. Love its compact size and super fast chipset, why buy chinese phone...

phone is very good flagship but the screen tends to scratch easily even though it is gorilla glass 5 version, not recommended to use without screen protector and the battery does not stay long not even full day with average uses. samsung must provide the update immediately.

Before I usually hovered 6.30hrs OST until 5%, now 6.30hr and 15% left.
But I keep power save option, just for CPU. I have AOD and background data enabled, also full resolution 2860*1440.

From what I've read, the S9 Snapdragon is much better than S9 Exynos, the battery lasts longer in S9 Snapdragon. Thinking about buy the S9 Snapdragon.

At the one saying no diff, yes I did almost discharged to 0% then let it fill up to 100%.
After 2nd cycle I already started to see lower drainage. Now after 4th its somewhere in the middle.. but still better then normal quick charge. It kind of fluctuates, but a lot less.

Which one is better this or the S8 Plus? The price of the S8+ has gone down since the release of the S9 series. Thanks in advance.

Interesting,
I tried charging the phone without fast charge option and so far I'm getting really good OST, atm 6.30hr and 18% battery left. This is 2nd time charging it
By normal fast it was usually
5-5.30hrs max by such %
It's like it discharges slower.
