I don't personally recall ever seeing a data icon/button but try this. Tap the Settings (cogwheel icon) and below it on the right side will be a search/magnifying glass icon. Tap on it and it will open a search bar. Type "data" into that search bar and every data related feature on the device will be displayed. Maybe that will display a way to access what you are looking for.

This is why my newest device is the LG V40 which has manual control for video, a feature I used regularly on my Note 9 and one of the reasons I purchased that phone.

I just wish Samsung would return the manual/pro mode controls on video that they took away with the "upgrade" to Pie.

I'm on T-mobile and the September security/software update improved the image quality of pictures taken with the stock night mode camera. It now performs better than the GCam port.

I perform routine maintenance on all of the phones that I've owned which no doubt has led to them performing well for years. I routinely clear my browser's history, data, cookies and cache, do a soft reset every week ( power phone down and then restart), keep apps updated with the latest version, and perform partition cache clear after every security or software update to free the device of old/corrupt data. Here are the steps to clearing the partition cache: Turn off the device. Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key. When the Android logo displays, release all three keys. An ‘Installing system update’ message will show for 30 – 60 seconds before the Android system recovery menu options appear. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition . Press Power key to select. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes , then press the Power key to select. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted. Press the Power key to restart the device. Hope this works for you.

May I suggest clearing the partition cache. It is good to do after an update to shake the bugs out without having to worry about backing up all your data like you would have to do after a factory reset.

The camera is one of the highlights of this device. I would take it back for an exchange or at least have it looked at.

If you use Chrome as your browser try going into settings> site settings> Pop Up Ads/Redirect and make sure it is toggled on. Also go through the various sites listed under All Sites and go through them and see if you have visited a site where permission was given to allow ads. You can hit clear/reset or delete the data.

I've had this happen with my LG device when I was taking pictures and it snapped one when I wasn't hitting the shutter button. But I don't recall my Note 9 doing it.

This is a well documented problem. If you are in the States take it to the authorized repair dealer UBreakIfix. They will test the device and either replace the camera module themselves (preferable) or they will tell you to mail it to Samsung repair in Texas (something I would avoid if possible).

Unfortunately the carriers control certain features like WiFi calling or Visual Voicemail, limiting access to their carrier-branded models. So if you are using an unlocked phone or one that is running on a different network you may not be able to utilize those features. Several years ago I purchased an unlocked LG G4 which I used on my carrier, T-mobile. I was not able to use WiFi calling and I had issues with reception because the device was missing some of Tmobile's bands. After that, I made sure I only purchased Tmobile branded phones.

Have you tried a soft reset ( turning the phone off then back on) or booting into recovery and clearing the partition cache?

Is anyone else picturing Bill Murray in the movie "Stripes" yelling "That's a fact Jack!" after reading this post. But I digress...my 1st flagship level device was the LG V20 (which still runs great) and the incredible audio produced by its Quad Dac system with a good pair of headphones. I also utilize the headphone jack on my phones to stream music through my car's speakers via the auxiliary port so it is a feature I for one use on a daily basis

Good luck with your request. This is the same company that took away the pro/manual video mode with the pie update after all.

I went through a similar horror story with Samsung and s phone I sent in for repairs TWICE. I was supposed to receive a new replacement phone or a refund. After hours on the phone with customer disservice I received neither. After a month and a half without my phone I received an S-pen and an SD card tray. I then received a phone that had a different IMEI number from the one I sent in whose screen makes an intermittent cracking noise when pressed. I have no idea if it's the same phone I sent in, a new one or a refurbished unit. I bought an LG V40 in the interim which is a great device that I bought new on Offer Up for a deep discount.

Try installing and using Greenify. It helps with battery drain by shutting down apps running in the background.

I've done that and there is no issue with the voice assistant set up.

The best deal to be had is at the Microsoft store where you can get up to $650 for a good condition Note 9. Samsung Direct was offering $600 in trade for the Note 9 but that offer expired. Now they only offer $300.

I encountered a number of problems after Tmobile finally launched the Pie update, including loss of audio and blurriness when taking videos. Sent my Note 9 into Samsung repair TWICE. After numerous phone calls and falsely being told that a supervisor would be calling me back I received an unidentified Note in the mail (never told if it was the one I sent in or a replacement). After several days of seemingly trouble-free use, the lock screen will not open to allow responses from the Google Voice Assistant aka Ok Google. I must swipe the lock screen manually to get the response from the assistant. This was.one of the same problems I had with the device I sent in for repairs. I would appreciate feedback from a Samsung moderator and/or the community on how to resolve this issue. Thanks.

I have seen reports of this same issue in the Note 9 Reddit forum. It seems to be a hardware issue and I would suggest getting your device replaced because no software update will address the issue.

As long as it powers on and meets the other basic guidelines for qualification, you should have no problems unless there is some shaddiness a foot. I used the trade in Samsung Direct promo a year ago wherein I traded in my LG G4 for a sizable discount for the Note8 and it was processed with no problems.

I received my Tmobile branded Note9 today and after transferring data from my Note8 and initial set up, I browsed the internet for a good 5 hours during which I noted the device was becoming increasingly warm. This concerned me as the ability to handle heavy tasks such as gaming without heating up is supposed to be this device's signature feature yet it was becoming noticeably toasty just internet surfing. Any thoughts?
