In addition to complaining on Twitter, the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S9 users also used the Samsung Community application to vent out their anger over the Android 9.0 Pie update issue. Here are some complaints:
Ever since the pie update my galaxy S9+ has been running out of juice faster than before the update. I’ll go from 100% to 40% in a matter of minutes, I tried everything but nothing seems to work. Is anyone else having this issue?
Terrible battery drain after Pie update! Trying a factory reset now. Battery life went from 42 hours to 19. Help. My phone is Galaxy S9+, Model SM-G965U, service provided by Sprint
Maybe it was just a glitch or something, but my galaxy s9 went down to 0% but then when I plugged it in to charge, it showed me 23%. I’m positive that this might be a bug. But I thought i’d give some feedback as this is the only place I can give any feedback.
