Go to settings> device care> battery > 3 dots in top right for battery settings > sleeping apps Put any app you don't regularly use in this list. I know it shouldn't have to be this way, but I put every non-daily use app in there and it has helped my battery. Also make sure adaptive battery is turned on. If that all doesn't work, wipe the cache in recovery. If that doesn't work, try a factory reset

If you're talking about the icon borders, that option has been "removed", but there's ways around it. You can either download an icon pack without borders on the theme store and that will remove them or you can download a launcher like nova and use a nova actions shortcut to access the now hidden app borders settings.

I have to admit, I'm not understanding all the gripes about oneUI here. It seemed to be overwhelmingly liked in the beta program and on top of that, its the closest to Google's version of android that Samsung has done in recent years. As far as I've seen, Samsung hasn't taken anything away. PiP and split screen for apps is still there, text messages font size increasing is still there and much more. Yes, the way to utilize some features have moved, but it's been done that way to keep in line with Google's UI guidelines. The only thing I can recall that Samsung took away was the option to show a web page without the ad blockers on a 1 time basis. If you use a Pixel, oneUI is very close to that... and I thought that's what people have been begging for, for years...? A Samsung phone running android closer to "stock android" I'm telling everyone, just give it time, explore your phone again, use gesture navigation and use the theme store to change those God awful icons and you'll end up liking oneUI a lot

Google... a lot of the design cues came from Google's standards for Pie and Samsung is finally playing ball with Google and design elements. As for the rationale behind the clock moving positions... notches and punch holes. Its that simple, Google switched it for the potential of your phone having notches or punch holes.

With the new Samsung+ app and the new community design, I am unable to sign into the forums. I tap on the sign in button and nothing happens. However, if I go to the community section through Samsung internet, it looks exactly the same as on the Samsung+ app, but I'm able to sign in. So something is wrong with how the Samsung+ app displays or loads the website from within the app. Just FYI.

Though I do agree that Samsung held a low bid for the icon design and a 5 year old won the bid offering to do it for a happy meal and a milkshake, the oneUI is leaps and bounds better than TouchWiz and "the Samsung experience". Everything has been moved to a reachable are of the screen, gone are those horrible, horrible yellowish greens and oranges in the UI and things are more streamlined. Give it time, you'll grow to like it. And BTW, if the icons bother you like they did me, just download a new icon pack from the theme store

Dumb question time, but have you tried raising the volume with your phone when connected to BT devices? That always resets with a reboot.

oneUI is awesome. I've been on it for a few months now and I can honestly say that it's worlds better than TouchWiz or the Samsung experience. I'd even say that it's on par or better than the Pixel's version of Pie. My phone has been smooth running and great to use since the first beta really.

I came from the beta, so I've been using oneUI for months now. Just take your time and check out all the settings sections. There's a lot that you can turn back to what it was in regards to notifications and phone behavior. Is oneUI different? Yes. Is it like the iPhone? No way! I also have a Pixel on Pie and oneUI is much closer to that than an iPhone.

The Samsung members app did not uninstall from the phone like it did in previous years? I was still able to access everything in the app except for the forums. I ended up deleting it because Samsung+ wasn't working correctly until I did. Just curious if anyone else noticed that. Also too, I'm a bit disappointed to not see automatic night mode activation in the official build.

Unfortunately, you are stuck with it. This is the new UI (oneUI) on Pie. I'm not trying to sound rude, but better get used to it!

Here's a question.. Samsung is calling this an "open beta" and I don't remember them using the term "open" last year. Also, since Pie will be rolling out in January, 2 months isn't a long time here, so do we think that this "open beta" will forgo the sign up limits like in years past?

It's been tempting to flash the alpha build But I guess I will wait for the official Samsung beta and just keep checking this app And what I forgot about and someone else mentioned is that your OTAs no longer work if you flash the Alpha. Youd have to go through the hassle of flashing the last offical build to start getting the OTAs again

This is how it will all work. There will be a leak as to what day the beta starts. The tech blogs will button mash the Samsung + app on that day and when the registration banner appears, they'll blog. It'll blaze through the interwebz like wild fire and folks will flood here, the servers will start lagging and crashing and by the end of the day, a few thousand will have gotten in and the rest will cry that they didn't. Then there will be months of the beta testers posting "OMG OMG OMG!!!! THIS AND THAT" stuff and being told to keep it in the beta forums. There will also be a subsection of folks who loaded the Alpha and will get very mad that they can't get on the beta because their IMEI has been flagged in Samsung's systems and are now ineligible for the beta. All just like last year....

This has been discussed before. Verizon and at&t do their own private, internal testing. I don't think a good reason other than "just because" has been given though.
