Just finished install. Camera app is now version 0.1.073. The Play Store version is still version 0.1.067. Oh, and I should state that my phone is a pre-production review unit so you all probably won't get this update. Let me go play with this camera and I'll post if I notice any changes. October security patch!
EDIT: Sorry. In trying to add a second image displaying the camera changelog, I somehow created a second thread. Could the mods please remove the first thread with only the one picture? Thanks!

Can you also check the slow scrolling?

Scrolling seems no different to me. But I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for.

When you scroll slow it looks like the framerate chugs.
Here is a super obvious example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbw_TUnfXuU

The slow scroll micro stuttering is something I hope to see fixed. Please tell me it is.

I see what you mean now. It's still there. Maybe not as bad as in the video, but still noticeable.

That is unfortunate. Let's hope the final build will fix this.

I'm getting NMI81C installed right now.

Micro stutters
I updated to today's build and no changes whatsoever to the slow scrolling issue. I'm VERY disappointed. If they don't fix it within a few months I'm done. This is my biggest issue with the phone. Coming from the HTC U11, the slow scrolling is horrible.

In today's Reddit AMA, me and a bunch of other people brought it up. They said they have a fix for it and it will be in one of two OTAs planned for release in the next few weeks. SOURCE

Any way to force NMI81C? Mine still says September patch levels are current.

You're correct. As of tonight it still isn't offering me October.
---------- Post added at 10:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 PM ----------
The camera has virtually no lag for me and even HDR shots only take about 1 second to process in the background. I find it comparable to what I have been able to get from the Google camera. I find that both have a bit of a blue shift in most cases that I have not been able to get rid of. It's more sensitive to it in office lighting. I also find that with both apps, the output is slightly oversaturated (verified by pulling to my laptop to rule out the screen itself).
None of it is bad enough for me to really complain about it, but I'll be trying to find ways to tweak as we move forward. I love the phone otherwise. It is incredibly snappy, at least for me. I don't notice any lag.

Seems a little more than just a camera update. Verizon has done a good job at locking down Motorola devices running 4.4.4, just saying I wouldn't take the OTA without already being s-off if you ever want to root again, I guess time will tell...
Also it improves the sound. the OTA changes firmware of audio components to newer than on Harman/Kardon version. It's first audio update I think for the "normal" version of One M8.
And fixes the cracking that can be heard at high volume with some headphones.

Been running the latest update since this morning.
How funny. I was in Best Buy on Saturday and visited the Samsung Kiosk. I had issues with my multi-window randomly popping up without pressing it. Anyways, I took it in and got them to reflash the device. Didn't notice till now but I got the update on that day, which solved my problems that I have been having since I got the device.
Can't wait until VZW pushes this out 6 months from now.
when does AT&T usually push anything? It's already April and I still haven't received the March security update.

So you don't want to update to a better performing phone, in hopes of rooting to get a better performing phone minus features. You may miss out and continue waiting until the s8. Just saying you should just try enjoying the phone.

I can confirm after almost a full 2nd day of use that this update does wonders for standby. My phone came off charger this morning at 8 AM, its not 4 PM and I am at 87% battery remaining. SOT only 23 minutes, some voice calls, some emails. But standby is outstanding and noticeably improved since the PC8 update.

I just saw..
The bigger issue is that they are not making a tablet to replace this one and are only maybe making a new portable it passed FCC but that does not mean it will get made. I am hoping shield TV sales are doing well enough or we might instead see the shield line get dropped entirely and if that happens forget getting 7 or any other patches first party anything like that will be 3rd party so none of the cool 1st party things in these roms...
My issue is Nvidia is doing a dumb move they can't keep the tablets on the shelves. If they updated the tablet but kept the same price point they would still sell almost faster than they could make them...

I can think of 250 reasons...
I'm working on it, no gurantees though
my biggest issue is going to be unless nvidia does 7 then we wont be getting optimized drivers or any 1st party features
The shield is an interesting case because it's almost entirely pure Android, and the fact that we got 6.0 so quickly alongside the other Nexus devices makes it seem like, to me, that it's an unofficial equivalent to a Nexus 8 tablet since Google doesn't make a Nexus 8.
That could also be a coincidence seeing that the shield is nvidia's only Android device which might explain why they're so quickly able to build the latest versions of Android for this device when you see other devices either never getting official upgrades or are heavily delayed.
Also since the base hasn't changed too drastically it seems possible that it might just be very easy for them to port over the build features like console mode and whatnot between versions, whereas something like touch wiz is obviously much more complex.
Therefore it almost seems like it would be silly for nvidia to not update their device to 7.0, even with the NX around the corner, seeing as that's likely to become the next generation of shield tablet, per say. They might as well pop out this update in the mean time and leave it there. I mean all the Nexus devices get updated at the same time and basically have the same exact code anyways!
If it wasn't for the fact, as I've been hearing at least, that Google and nvidia are dropping support I'd say we'd be getting it for sure. However my hopes are high and I still think we probably will since it's truly such an optimized OS and would pull every last bit of performance left in this device. We'll see for sure in the coming weeks. Cheers

New software can fix old bugs compatibility issues and make the software run faster. The same is true with an operating system.

Nothing here. It appears a lot of people that were probably in are having issues. It is displaying a "server issue" message and not showing us as registered. Perhaps we were not selected but then again I have not read about anyone with a tmus device being selected.
I will be bumped down if Samsung couldn't supply the tmus users.

Nope not yet. And though I registered on Thur morning I'm apparently deregistered as of today for some odd reason. Though I'm certainly not alone. Seems to be a case of hurry up and wait to see if we've even been selected to participate. Hopefully so, but if not... Well... There's always waiting until it officially comes out.

Apparently they are getting setup of the s6 beta. This is thought to be the reason for server errors.
Maybe, I'm being very naive I'm sure, they are fixing bugs before release. YouTube is broken and other things in the sprint /Verizon release. I'm sure this isn't the reason though
Edit: Tmobile is having server issues. So that's the actual reason for the delay. Just gotta wait. Atleast we know now why it hasn't hit.

T-Mobile released CSGB (early this morning... got mine around 1am through manual checking) but it doesn't have night mode for the camera.
So hopefully soon (preferably with August's security patch) they will release it.
CSGF also has new wireless charging animation

Well, had my S9+ for about a week and am not impressed by this phone at all beside it being an Android. For me, Android auto has been a nightmare. Updating to the latest patch and hopefully it fixes some things with Samsung. I use my XS Max more than my S9+ which is a shame,but more reliable in a Carplay sense. Hopefully there are more fixes than just a camera update. Looking forward to this update

The night mode in the camera seems to work pretty well. No complaints here. It took a pretty nice dark picture and brightened it up nicely. Nice update so far. Looking forward to what else is new
Is that the update they dubbed "System Update 14"? I clicked learn more and they only have info for up to 13's.
I just randomly checked about a half hour ago and boom there it was.. But I can't find ANY info ANYWHERE about it. Also on VZW S9+

Yeah I tried searching during the download and couldn't find anything. Night mode is nice and it's now bootloader 6. That's the only things I found so far

Is that the update they dubbed "System Update 14"? I clicked learn more and they only have info for up to 13's.
I just randomly checked about a half hour ago and boom there it was.. But I can't find ANY info ANYWHERE about it. Also on VZW S9+

G965USQU6CSGF. Bootloader 6. Night mode was referred to in camera
I've got an factory unlocked SM-G965U1 which I currently use on T-Mobile. If I find a buddy on Verizon and pop in his SIM, might that mean that I'd get offered the Verizon version of the update, which would include night mode?
I know that method works for getting monthly security updates.
Or is this special feature update ONLY for people on the Verizon-modified rom?

To answer my own question in case anyone else comes across this in a search, I borrowed a friend's Verizon SIM card, popped it into my Snapdragon/factory-unlocked S9+, and was offered 3 consecutive updates to jump me from a patch level of January 1 (where I started yesterday), then to May/June, then to July 1, then finally to Aug 1 - which is pretty awesome, because the Aug patch was literally just released yesterday.
So, I'm definitely blaming T-Mo for this, because with this Verizon sim, I literally got a day-old Samsung-released update.
However, I didn't get Night Mode. Just the security updates (and the new charging animation). Oh well.

Actually i retract my statement. For whatever reason the first couple of pictures i took didn't work well perhaps the conditions weren't right. I just took some that worked AWESOME though.

AT&T finally included night mode with the latest update earlier this month and I really didn't notice much to write home about either...
Until I took this picture last night using night mode (it was pretty dark outside like 10 minutes before the sun set)
