Yep, just hoping it gets resolved and software update pushed out.
Disappointing that something so basic is not working on premium model.
If this was on apple release phone it would be headline news

Also sidesync application doesn't work with S9 with is disappointing as was handy for demos etc

I was going to chance it and pay via PayPal but the Irish discount code isn't working. Might be for the best, probably too good to be true. I'll hold out another few weeks, see who else has offers.

Amazon italy had s9 for €717 yesterday...

I'm loving it. It's an upgrade in every way over the S7 Edge. Battery is strong, screen is excellent and all the other new Android/Samsung features are excellent, except Bixby, which is still a bit pointless.

i see im not alone with the bad call quality in their S9+ , where people fade out and there is silence for a few seconds at a time . bit of a joke on a phone of this price .

is anyone else having issues sending messages where it hangs for ages before sending them . or problems connecting to facebook messanger ?

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

Seeing the call issue on my S9+ as well. Pretty miffed given it's a premium handset. Thankfully I don't use Facebook messenger

SuprSi

No call issues for me, but most of my calls would be very short, less than a minute. It really should've been spotted in QC seeing as so many are affected by it.

Just seen an update that claims improves call stability! hopefully that fixes the dropped audio during some calls

Not sure I just done a manual check up via software update on phone

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

I see an update available on Eir dated 04/Apr but nothing available yet when I check for updates on the phone itself.
SamMobile showing G965FXXU1ARCC as the latest version.

GT_TDI_150

Anyone get the update and notice an improvement in calls?

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

Just popped up on my phone now. 313mb update. PDA is G965FXXU1ARCC

Vahevala

I got the update, call quality is still no better, the signal is rubbish on this device.

Crap I was going to do an update tonight. That said the update I'm seeing I don't think is the one to fix the call drop issue.

I'm sick at this stage of having to ask people to repeat themselves.

KaiserGunner

Is the call drop issue just for the S9+? As I’ve the standard S9 the past few days and have noticed this issue happening to my phone too. Can be quite annoying, loving the device apart from the odd drop in call for a few seconds,

bogman

Got the update today (from Eir 2nd one so far) , no issues whatsoever since I got my device, very happy since upgrading from an Nexus 6P.

LFCFan

No issues with calls on mine either. No issues at all. Love it.

Quick query guys:

My wife is currently looking to upgrade to the Galaxy S9 - but she’s not eligible for an upgrade until later this year.

She’s on a €35 plan with air (400 minutes, Unlimited texts, 10gb of data) - the phone costs €499 on that plan.

I am currently eligible for an upgrade but on a much lower plan to her at €10 per month sim only - the phone would cost €599 on that plan.

Anything we can do to get the phone at the €499 price now? Involving SIM swaps etc (though, we’d need to keep our respective numbers).

I know, it’s convoluted - but, hey, humor me.

rizzee

I'd hate to spend that price on a phone when for around 200 euro extra you could get one brand new sim free not tied to a contract!

Sit it out for another few weeks and hope it starts to reduce in price for a sim free version. You won't get it for €499 but very likely to get it for around €600 before long.
I'm in a similar position but am waiting for it to hit closer to 600 mark before I buy. I've no problem waiting a while to see how it pans out.

GT_TDI_150

**** just got real ... sold the s7 ... no phone now until I upgrade friday... just to decide between the s9+ and the p20 pro now...

I ended up taking my phone back to Vodafone. It blanked out during 3 calls yesterday and two weren't even close to 5 minutes duration.

The sales assistant said the Samsung rep had been in to the shop and that it's a known issue. They replaced the phone so lets hope this new one will be problem free!

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

Had the problem on multiple calls yesterday. PITA. Anyone who has had their handset replaced, is the problem fixed in the replacement? I presume all handsets have the same problem.

magic123

Havent noticed any problems during calls,but the battery is a bit disappointing.not better than my 3 years old sony z3

GT_TDI_150

Purchased today...


S9+...

Love it!

Think im going to have to do the same . Its wrecking my head. 3 times it went silent for about 15 seconds during a 2 or 3 minute call. Im constantly having to apologise and ask people to repeat what they were saying . Its not good enough for any phone never mind one at this price

Guys, anyone having issues with the sound dropping out, could you reach out to Samsung Ireland/UK on twitter.
https://twitter.com/SamsungHelpUK

The more people that raise the issue, the faster this will get resolved. FYI, there is a Samsung Ireland twitter account (@samsungireland) but you are directed to the @SamsungHelpUK for help.

Vahevala

I raised a ticket with Vodafone and am asking either to get out of contract or get a different phone. They offered me to get out of contract but I need a phone for work. This is hopeless, I just can't have long conversations, call quality is desperate on this S9+.

I also noticed when my phone goes from 4G to H+. the calls break up (I am usually talking to someone on a landline). This is dire.

SachaJ

Mine is absolutely brutal to be honest. Always asking people to repeat themselves and periods of silence.

Thing is, what other phone has the same features? Great camera, IP rating, wireless charging, bright screen etc... I've heard there loads of issues with the Pixel 2 XL also

All those features are pointless if it can't do the basic job of making phone calls which is the whole purpose of the device.

ct5amr2ig1nfhp

In case anyone missed it, Samsung have asked for logs for those having the dropped calls/sound drop out problem.

You can send error logs via the Members app called Samsung+. It's under Menu -> Send Feedback -> Send Feedback -> Report a Problem.

Select the category you want (I presume call/Message or Sounds/Vibration). You can type a message and at the bottom select Auto Attached Information and make sure Send system log data is selected.

Thought I found a security bug yesterday... Missus was using phone to take pics of thing she was selling from locked and then going into WhatsApp to send the pics to herself..The phone was letting her into WhatsApp.... I was like how dafuq did it let ya in?!

Ive fingerprint and face recognition turned on and a smart Lock with my fitbit..

The Fitbit was 3m away but it was still considering it close enough to unlock the phone... Once I turned off the smart Lock with the Fitbit it was ok again... I only expected it to unlock if the Fitbit was within 2/3 feet..

I very rarely use my phone for calls so I decided to test it today.

Wife
1st call cut out at 1 min 40 secs
2nd call cut out at 5 min 15 secs
3rd call lasted 6 mins (call completed)

Mother
1st call lasted 1 min 35 secs
2nd call lasted 7 mins (call completed)

I've installed a whitedome screen protector on this phone. What happens if they say I need a replacement?
Am I out the €40 cost of the screen protector?
Can this issue be fixed via a patch?

Yes you are out of the cost of the screen protector if you have to change it. (why didn't you go without the protector and then if the screen broke in a couple of weeks/months get the replacement and use a screen protector then?)

Doesn't seem to be a patch as of yet.


So glad I didn't change from my S8 now with all this trouble..

If there are issues can you return the phone, get money back and get a different phone altogether?

GT_TDI_150

Anyone having issues with Spotify? My music will play for 10s and then stop. I press play again, 10 more seconds and stop again ....

Doubt it after 14 days ''cooling off'' period, after that I presume it's just manufacturers warranty for repairs.
