Yes, indeed just a work around. The main problem is that you HAVE to install and run the email app, even if you prefer Outlook as I do. I have the app running but diabled the email side of things and just use the Calendar sync. The other isssue is that Outlook is not a 2 way sync for the Cal as it is for contacts. That is a Microsoft issue / limitation (I have been speaking to them). The only other option is to use a different calendar / widget like the Outlook one, that works quite well. Frustrating thing is I have to use a Gmail to log into Google / Apps, I use a Hotmail for personal use and seperate work account. The stock Email app isnt up to the job and I wouldnt want all 3 accounts in one place.... All workarounds, my old Windows Mobile was so much better organised from a systems level.

I believe its the final version. My wife also has a S9+ and wasn't on the beta programme now has exact same build as mine. This came with a security patch.

You are looking in the wrong place, this is for the app itself, to toggle it on and off go to phone, then settings and you should see it.

I had the same, 9+ on EE. The APK settings were lost. Call your operator (or find online) and the will send you the settings via sms or am install sms. You could also try removing sim, restarting without a sim. Put the sim in then restart.

Has anyone in the UK tried changing their phone region and language to German then tried to register?

EXACTLY.... This is a complex process (I have been thru it with Samsung a few times and for many years as a Microsoft Insider with Windows PC's on Windows Mobile). There is a plan to roll it out region by region. If they hit a snag (their end or with target devices) then they will pause. A beta by very nature is unfinished but I would rather have a mildly buggy piece of s/w rather than one with big issues or bricking my phone. No point in hounding the support team 10 times a day, they are trained (loosely speaking!!) to support issues with phones and wont necessarily have insight to marketing and 3rd line / rollout teams. No one is forcing us to refresh 100 times a day.... but we do! Based on past experience, the registration stays open for a few days so its unlikely you will miss out on reg or thye beta. Bearing in mind, theres probably only a few hundred ppl in the UK that desperately waiting for the beta, and lets face it, its not a radical change and fixing a broken Android 8! So... Keep Calm and Carry On! Peace out!

I think it would be really useful when a member of this group gets SOMETHINGS they actually state what country they are in and phone model.

Hi Bradleigh, Looks nice. Did you have to do a fresh install or did all your data / apps remain in place?

I think you will be hard pressed to get any decent service from most global companies, with a few exceptions. Microsoft have been appalling for me. A great onlin community of Beta Testers / Insiders but when something goes wrong (with non-Beta stuff) its incredibly hard to find anyone that is paid enough to care. MS completely wiped all my contacts from my paid Hotmail account I had accumulated over 10+ years from my Hotmail account this year. One ***** said its a migration and you should get them back in a few weeks. Another engineer actually tried and then eventually, 3 weeks later they recovered a backup. MS phone issues etc. Virgin Media... many operators cant help you if you go off script. Similar with a faulty Parrot Drone, useless. I think the Apple shops are pretty good from memory and using Google for Business the support was great. Unfortunately we are small voices in a global market. I know, enough leave and all that but thats the way it goes :(

I think that's sensible, especially if it's your main or only device. It's not like the stock UI or OS is broken and Pie fixes everythinh

I agree, its now 11.30pm in Korea so unlikely they will release the SW. POSSIBLY the registration but based on past releases unlikelly.

Pretty much what I have done but then you have two email clients.... Samsung and Outlook... Double battery and double data.. Also, as Outlook syncs contacts duplicates in Contacts. I did have the Samsung mail app running just for calendar but changed all the settings in the app to sync the very minimum of data, just headers, no attachments etc. Works for me but still a silly workaround.

Sounds like a good plan, do you know if its a 2 way sync meaning I can add in calendar and it will the populate my work Gmail or Hotmail both in Outlook? I use a separate Gmail account for the phone itself.

No, not at the moment at least. I feel the same way and have moved from a Microsoft 950XL with the great Continuum feature Dex is very similar Continuum would work through Microsofts own dock or by just a wireless connection. Using a wireless connection or the Ms Dock I only get screen mirroring I was doing some research on forums for my S8 and it would appear that the phone has to sense the actual Dex to switch and their was a firmware mod they were working on but was buggy so I avoided It's a crazy limitation to impose

Have a S9+ dual sim, EE in the UK and WiFi calling works fine for me. Bought phone directly from Samsung so unlocked, used existing sim card from previous phone with no issues

No, not really. Some calls seem worse than others and use the Extra Volume button when needed

Yes, about to post the same... Compared to my S8 Oreo the S9+ seems very sluggish in terms of general operations and menus etc. Nice and smooth but a bit frustratingly slow .. Outlook very much so. .. Not sure if it's because I transferred data via smartswitch .. May try a fresh reset... Anyone else?

That's my point as I have contradictory mail's.... One saying S8 is free....see what happens and make a call. Happy to make 2 payments & keep S8 if possible.....will update when I know

I purchased the S8 on the upgrade programme in the UK last year. I don't recall the info saying i have to return the S8 when I upgrade to the S9. The invoice for the S9 shows S8 as free but I have also had an email from Samsung saying I have to return it. I like the idea of being able to upgrade yearly but if the S8 goes back it's not really a great deal is it? Anyone know for sure if the S8 has to be returned?

As Madmum says, you should be able to use both sims but only the data from one of them which ist logical

Are you in the UK? With mine, on the Samsung website it showed preparing for despatch when I already had notifications from DPD, the delivery company, saying it was on its way... £50 voucher isn't bad for a day's delay

I have ordered a S9+ HybridSim and should have it this weekend. I have two UK sims already so will research that fact and reply back as soon as I can. For me, not sure its 100% the best option as if I am travelling and have a local sim, my regular calls can still come in cost a packet. However, whilst travelling to Morocco and Brazil I used some clever call forwarding to my Skype number and used the local sim card for data that worked well. With the S9+ having 128 mb i can see all of my important apps and data will be internal so switching sim to memory card shouldnt be an issue. Look forward to receiving it and reporting back. One note though, the HybridSim does come with a different firmware to single sim so will be interested to know if firmwar updates and Android 9 / P will be released at the same time....

Ok, thanks for that. I thought that you have both sims operational and have two numbers on the go which is half the point.

I am lucky enough enough to be able to upgrade to a S9 and wondered if there are any drawbacks to having a dual sim. I understand that i have to remove the SD card so those apps and data won't be available, but unless there are any differences I can't see why Samsung produce two models at the same price
My concern is that a dual sim runs a different version of the OS so may be slower in getting updates or Android P.
Anyone got first hand experience?
I do occasionally travel overseas and carrying two phones is a pain
Thanks,
Rob
