Anonymous — Sun, 11 Nov 2018 20:30:22 GMT

Supposedly coming to some phones on 15th November. (S9+ & Note 9) Watch HERE.

Looks pretty good. One handed on the big screens gets a big thumbs up from me with my spacky hands! (Yes I have a doctors note so I can use the term)

edit.. Just read HERE that there was talk that S8, S8+ & Note 8 would get it too but apparently not..

Well that leaves me out then. But I'll probably be changing my phone end April, so not too disappointed.

I miss out as well with my Note 8. As I bought it outright, there is no chance of me changing anytime soon...

I wonder if they changed the notification thing were say you have 5 messages it shows a dot or number and if you clear the try the app also losses the dot or number

I was in touch with support of Samsung, have answered that since November 15 for Germany and since November 20 for Great Britain. For S9/S9 Plus/Note9 phones, the first wave.

Prefer Android without the overlay myself.

Would prefer manufacturers to focus on making updates available.

Video HERE clarifying a few things..

beta is available through a Samsung app from 20th November & general release next year..

Good news is.. it will come to the S8,+ & Note 8, but only after the 9s & Note 9 get it!

Due to circumstances I won't ever be likely to see this on one of my phones but to be honest, I'm happy enough on Marshmallow with the Nova Launcher and whilst you are on an app doing whatever you do, you don't notice the UI or whether you are on Oreo or Kit Kat. Just my opinion but maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that I have no need for the latest of everything.

I'm on my phone now posting here but no one knows what phone or OS or UI I'm using, except me.

Some info about ONE UI for UK users...

https://www.sammobile.com/2018/11/21/samsung-uk-galaxy-s9-android-pie-beta-delay

and one more..

Updated Information for UK users waiting on the Beta

Lots and lots of mis-information regarding the beta so I thought I'd clear a couple of things up.

The beta will be available on all unlocked phones. Even if you got your phone through a carrier it may still be unlocked. In fact I think most are (two exceptions I know of are Three and Vodafone. Feel free to add more if you know any).
Reports of the beta going live on the 20th were a mistake, they have removed this information from the One UI faq now.
The beta for the UK (and other 2nd wave countries) is currently listed as coming soon. All I can confirm is that this will be between now and January. What I will say is that mid-December is most likely.
I've seen a lot of posts about people getting frustrated with checking the Notices section of the members app. Just a quick FYI, the app sends notifications about notices by default. As long as you haven't changed settings and have notifications enabled you don't need to keep checking.

I hope this will alleviate some frustrations.

Thanks.

ONE UI Beta for Samsung S9/ S9 Plus is LIVE!!!

..................................................................................................................

One UI/Pie/Android 9.0 Beta test for the UK is now officially… open!

In the UK, the beta is only available on S9|S9+ devices that were originally bought as network unlocked(otherwise known as BTU/XEU variants).

The beta software isn’t the full or final version, so some malfunctions are to be expected and some features may not be present. (See the "How can I send feedback?" bit of the FAQ link above for how to report stuff back to Samsung.)
The purpose of beta software is to get our customers involved, knowing the value of real-life testing and feedback that helps us deliver our best at its general release.

Always a very, very smart idea to back your data up, along with updating all apps, before participating in a beta. Smart Switch is the officially advised way of backing your data up, but however you do it, just do it.

"How do I join the One UI Beta Programme?" "How to send feedback error reports about the Beta..." and "How to quit the Beta Progamme & restore official software" and other FAQ's can be found Here

Slightly off topic..I've turned off updates on my Note 8. Not liking the look of Android Pie, and anyone who knows me, knows how much I hate Oreo! Especially since it took away custom SMS notifications. Stupid . Oh and much as I've jumped ship from my beloved HTC lol.. (loving my Note) Their themes are much better and mostly free x
