I'm in the UK and I've not received the September update on my S9 on the Vodafone network! Am I alone on this?

I like experimenting with themes too.. before OneUI I bought over £50 worth. But since update, not many as I dont like the fact that my emails are blinding white. I do alot of emails.

I've asked similar and was adviser to go and ask the developer of the theme, but I dont think the problem lies with them. I've tried over a 100 themed, both brand new ones and old veterans and not one seems to have the dark mode used on the default email app. The SMS, keyboard, menu and calendar are all able to take the colour of the theme but not the default Samsung email app. This makes me now know that fault lies with Samsung and their OneUI. So my question is, can Samsung please make it available for other themes to utilise the dark / night option on all your native apps, in particular, the email app.

Check out the xda developers site, also worth googling pie to oreo, how to root etc. My advice is to read as much as you can first before doing anything. My build number is PPR1.180610.011.G960FXXU4CSE3 Does that mean I am stuffed and also can not roll back again?

I do like your reply and I agree with you on the many customisation options that are available to Android, and in particular Samsung (via Good lock). However, my caviate with this is a big why should I have to be playing catch up with Samsung? They broke, what I believed was the best version of Android on any smart phone. They have created a version of Android that is geared towards larger screen devices, but is of no good to my S9. I am also not happy with the fact that I have to be doing all this work, and it just seems like they are doing steps to stop me from fixing what they broke. I am reffereing to the update that stopped me from rolling back to a previous version of Android. Don't get me wrong, I do like Samsung and think that they are quiet inovative with their phones and the best looking smart phone on the market. BUT, they are getting a tad carried away with their R&D department and now not listining to its users and dropping every and any update out there.

Better yet, we should be able to feel confident in the knowledge that Samsung is actively listening to us and that their software development does not take a dive down the ridiculous (as it has with this OneUI).. and if it has, they will make steps to put it right or at least to apese our dislike.

And it should work for you as it did for me, I also watched a YouTube video where a guy flashed his s6 from Samsung Pie back to it's original form and followed his process with my S9. It really helped now I love my phone again because I couldn't stand that PIE forceful garbage update. It looked just like a wanna be google phone iPhone. I couldn't deal with it or I would've broke and changed phones and companies. Hope this information helps! Proceed with caution anyone jumping in the thread here. Whilst this is a great option and can work, their has been changes since the April 2019 update I've been told , which may make this rollback not possible.

But to reassure you, it’s just the standard survey we’ve pretty much always run for feedback on Community itself; and there are no plans for this place to be shut down. Peeps do use the survey to express their views on the product, but we sift those out when it comes to looking for feedback specific to the Community itself. That's reassuring to know. It's even more so reassuring to know that the pain that we are feeling with this update is being noticed. I can only wait and hope that they come up with a fix before it's too late. I still would like to see the S10 as my next handset, but will sadly not do so whilst this OneUI (in it's current sate) is in existence on that phone.

They'd be able to say too many of us complained about the forum and community .. It was SUCH a manipulative questionnaire So we know what's coming next Shutting off our voices Sad times are coming.

And another thing that I have noticed that they have done is make themes not fully compatible with the full UI. Example, if i chose a theme, no mater if its dark or not, the email is always white. Also, when you go to file explorer with the dark them you purchased, the fots are not visible... basically, the theme just not fully incorporates with the phone. This annouance I have found with more than one themes. With Samsung Oreo, i had spent over £20 on themes... Now, with this update to OneCrap... I mean OneUI, I have lost all the beauty of those themes and now have to use the default Samsung theme with the ugly icons (in dark mode). I came to Samsung from BlackBerry (and Huawei). This to me at the time was the best version of Android out there on a smartphone.. the UI was so intuiative and just asteticaly beautiful. NOW, I do not feel the same way and currently looking to see what my next phone would be, which before this silly OneUI, was going to be a Samsung S10. Don't think so now. Will see whatelse is out there... The OnePlus looks promissing.

This shows that they are teading these threads and are aware that people are rolling back their devices. I do hope that they also read and see the disgust that people feel for this OneUI.

Cheap tricks Samsung I agree.. I think the whole OneUI was designed for the S10 range, especially the S10+ which I believe are taller than the S9s.

But why donwebhave to change stuff via third party apps, so that we can have what we already had? That being said, I do agree with you on recommending Goodlock. It is a great piece of software for customising windows 8... opps, I mean OneUI.

Whilst the biggest lesson for consumers is never download a F/W upgrade without knowing what it means and has it been indepently tried and tested, which off course is a huge unnecessary burden and responsibility consumers should not have to endure. True. But I think Samsung knew about this being a bad upgrade, but still went ahead with it. I was in the Beta for this OneUI and left after a week as I truly hated it, and all my criticism at the time was about the OneUI and its uglybicons and waste of space , caused via pusing things down. I've a S9 and I need all the screen I can get, and not have things pushed down. BUT, they never listened to me nor others and here we are!!

I did the same... kept getting bothered to update. Turned off in Debug mode, and then eventually upgraded... well, accidentally clicked the "install now "button. Can't be asked to start afresh again with Odin. I do miss my sweet looking Samsung S9 running Oreo look.

I usually use the default theme and change the icons and Wallpapers manually. Yes you can do that. BUT, I find the icon packs do not have a dynamic date icon. It just has a static date number. So as said before, one is then left with a nice theme and icons and a blinding white background for emails or any other aspect of the UI that the theme does not change. :-(

I'm not going to rely on a bunch of apps to do something that should already be in the OS. Shame on Samsung. Especially shame on Google. I fully agree with you. But pending Samsung fixing this and to save me throwing the phone in the bin, these apps have to do.

It can't be easy trying to please everyone when you have millions of customers worldwide. I agree, but they need to recognise their mistakes and push hard to fix it. Take Microsoft's Steve Steve Ballmer who survived the flop that was Windows Vista, but who wasn't able to do the same after the disappointment of Windows 8. Samsung , who is your "Steve Ballmer " behind OneUI? I think it may be time to let them go. (Breaks out into "Let it go" from the movie Frozen)
