S9 pretty much sucks!

[Zhy]

I absolutely hate this phone, I hated it when I first bought it because you can't use your own background for texts and now since the update I hate it even more, I'm just going to get my old S4 fixed and use that. I REFUSE to spend money on those crappy behind backgrounds they want you to buy.

Is there any further customisation in text apps such as Textra or by using Nova Prime @Zhy that you could consider.

Possible workaround in https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9-S9/Is-it-possible-to-change-the-background-of-messages...

I'm not overly thrilled with certain features being removed via the Samsung One Ui  / Pie update myself which I've passed on to Samsung via the Samsung Members App  / Samsung + App.

Nope. Not at all.

I could not agree any more. The more I use this phone, the more the frustration grows. I had be using moto g5s plus. It had stock Android. The battery was so much better. App search was so quick. Didn't had Bixby home. Google home is so much better. Bixby should be put in coffin and thrown in sea. Why are you having another button for Bixby, when android standard is just two buttons - volume and power. Having bezel display sounds good, where in actual, it is much more prone to screen breakage, not from fall but from grabbing support bars in for example bus, - if someone can understand. Just wanna throw away this.
