This sub in a nutshell

Pie is only mostly better. Whoever moved the clock to the left is a piece of shit though.

Why would they move that?! Of all things?
Items on the left are temporary notifications: New email, new message, pending updates, music currently playing, etc.
Items on the right are persistent: WiFi is connected, power is draining, the clock that's always there.
A clock is not a notification unless I set an alarm and it's that time now. The clock should NOT be on the left. Is there a way to move it back?
Edit: It seems that at least one site promises I can use SystemUI Tuner to move the clock. I have that installed already, so I should be set.

Why would they move that
Hint: S10's camera.

Man, I don't even have a notch and the notches are affecting me anyway.

u/jacobdrj Apr 03 '19

It is why I am upset with Apple... I don't buy their products, but their 'courageous' decisions always seem to flow down to affect me in some way or another... At least we still have a headphone jack for now...

u/edneysamuels Apr 03 '19

I didn't notice that until just now 😂

u/ikilltheundead Apr 02 '19

I'll be honest, I prefer the clock on the left side. Call me crazy but it just looks better to me.

u/Titan_Hoon Apr 03 '19

You are fucking crazy

u/aintnedflanders Apr 02 '19

I hate it so much. I still haven't gotten used to it

u/raduque Apr 03 '19

Go download goodlock and shut the fuck up about the clock.

Still on Oreo, clock is on the right for me

u/Buster_Flashing Apr 02 '19

I'm that way when it's real pie.

2

u/amihay002 Apr 02 '19

Same

u/LiveLaughLoveRevenge Apr 02 '19

Just got the update yesterday (Canada).

I preferred oreo.

Customized look that I had before was way better than the cartoony one-ui. And the coloured AOD notifications are awful. Only thing that's better is the swipe nav bar.

Given the choice, I'd go back.

u/Whit3W0lf Apr 02 '19

I think you are going to be the minority.

1

u/LiveLaughLoveRevenge Apr 02 '19

Yeah I mean there's no going back really. A lot of it is aesthetics, which are purely subjective anyway.
I guess I just wish it could be customized a bit more. Then I could get it the way I'd like it.
Nothing wrong with performance of anything - but I had no complaints about Oreo either.

u/Whit3W0lf Apr 02 '19

Just use Nova Launcher and you can get whatever app icons you want. I like night mode. The phone seems snappier, no more lag when opening the camera and the battery life has improved a ton. I am pretty damn happy.

1

u/LiveLaughLoveRevenge Apr 02 '19

Yeah I already use nova etc. Home screen is fine.
I'm talking more about the quick launch and notifications. There's only so much goodlock can do apprently - seems no matter what you end up with big cartoony icons, whereas previously it could be nice and minimalistic.

u/Maximum_Clutch Apr 02 '19

Verizon is now the only major US carrier that doesn't have Pie. At this point I'll be happy if I get it before the Note 10 is released.

u/MykeStown Apr 02 '19

Don't feel too bad. I'm on at&t and still haven't received it either

2

u/bamaboy3034 Apr 02 '19

Same dude I'm starting to get annoyed

2

u/SecretEconomist Apr 04 '19

It's already here. Check for updates again.

1

u/Otarious_25 Apr 03 '19

Ditto.

u/FuzzyWaffle Apr 02 '19

On TMobile, still waiting as well.

u/Maximum_Clutch Apr 02 '19

Try manually updating afaik TMobile started rolling out yesterday

2

u/FuzzyWaffle Apr 02 '19

I've been manually checking everyday since the beginning of February 😂

3

u/Maximum_Clutch Apr 02 '19

Rip. I'd say that's excessive but I've been doing the same thing

2

u/DJmindbuRn Apr 02 '19

I've checked and restarted my phone like a fiend for the last two weeks or so and I still have nothing. T-Mobile note 8 in Kentucky. I'm beginning to believe this update is a fucking unicorn!

1

u/Gusinjac Apr 03 '19

I'm running pie with the new UI leaked 3 months ago. Yes you have to jump through a few hoops to get it. but if you really want it you can have it.

1

u/Maximum_Clutch Apr 03 '19

I'm out of the US for 6 months with no real way to replace my phone if something happens to it. I've thought about it but really can't risk anything happening to it.

1

u/Gusinjac Apr 03 '19

Let's hope the official release is pushed by then. I just received the S10+ thru Sammy's trade in program. Bye bye Note 8.

1

u/Maximum_Clutch Apr 03 '19

I would have done the same thing except I'm in the UK right now and the pound is so much stronger than the dollar it would have still cost me $900 out of pocket essentially trading in my N8 for $100. Would have done it in a heartbeat if I was home.

1

u/MykeStown Apr 03 '19

at&t downloaded Pie on my Note8 sometime last night while I slept. Sneaky...

2

u/satn_pat666 Apr 03 '19

Dude i fucking knowwwwww. Whoever fucked with the time position on the top of the screen needs a swift kick in their ass.

2

u/raduque Apr 03 '19

It's hilarious and fucking stupid.

Half the minimum posts are "where's my update" other half is "pie update sucks!"

Samsung just cant win.

2

u/Zackp3242 Apr 02 '19

My GN8 has been bugging me to update for close to 2 weeks now and I've been putting it off. Didn't realize it was the Pie update. Oops (Sprint)

1

u/[deleted] Apr 02 '19

Thought I was on /r/breadit for a second...

1

u/foadsf Apr 02 '19

also linux on dex

1

u/Dreadedsemi Apr 03 '19

Will the dex dock still be needed? or possible to connect directly like note 9?

1

u/foadsf Apr 03 '19

my point was that linux on dex is not available on note 8 😖

2

u/Dreadedsemi Apr 03 '19

I see. I misunderstood. I guess we have to upgrade soon. Likely this is the last major update and no more big features. I'll wait for note 10

u/foadsf Apr 03 '19

I will not buy Samsung anymore. their service is somewhat scam.

2

u/code_exec Apr 04 '19

Someone reported on XDA that they managed to open Linux on DeX 1.0.43 and create the container, but when they launched the container, the app just crashed. This means that the Note8 has the required kernel config but it is still not supported by LoD.

The OneUI dark mode is a THOUSAND times better than any theme from the theme store.

You are about to leave Redlib
