These disappointments include inconvenient S Pen Slot location, lacking apps for S Pen, no S Note app, disturbing curved screen on Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, an inferior in-display fingerprint reader, mediocre Exynos CPU/chipset in most regions, missing micro SD card support on Galaxy Note 20, plastic back on Galaxy Note 20, overpriced, no spare S Pen nibs and removing tool, no USB connector and no clear cover.

With the release of Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Samsung also released the updated Galaxy Buds Live, which adds active noise cancelling (ANC) and a totally new design to Galaxy Buds +.

Inconvenient S Pen slot location

Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra relocated the S Pen slot to the left side of the charging port. In all previous generations of Galaxy Note phones, the S Pen slot is always on the right side so that it is very convenient for right-handed users to access it.

The relocation is apparently to create space for the bumped camera modules on Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It seems the engineer just duplicated the design of S20 Ultra, which does not need a slot for S Pen.

It is one of the most inconvenient “new” features of Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. For right-handed owners, it is very awkward to access the S Pen on Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

This relocation reflects the arrogance of Samsung engineers. And it proves very likely Galaxy Note designers never or seldom use S Pen. Maybe, they use iPhones.

Without the S Pen, Galaxy Note is just a bigger (now identical) Galaxy S phones. Designers should always put S Pen in the spotlight.

The inconvenient S Pen slot location is one of the top disappointments of Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

Lacking apps for S Pen apps

The two most useful features of S Pen are:

1. Note-taking.
2. Sketching/drawing.

Using S Pen as a magic wand is a joke. And Samsung repeated the joke in Galaxy Note 20 and  Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

Unfortunately, Samsung stopped S Note development since Galaxy Note 5. They want all Samsung users to use a “unified” Samsung Notes app. It does not work.

For creative works, Samsung used to bundle the now-free Adobe SketchBook Pro.

Anyway, Samsung does not offer any real S Pen apps on Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Very few third-party apps have good support of the S Pen.

Lacking apps for S Pen is not just one of the disappointment of Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It also marks the death of Galaxy Note.

S Note app is not compatible with Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

To make it worse, S Note app is no longer supported on Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

You cannot install it on Galaxy Note 20 any more.

Please note, you can install S Note on Galaxy Note 10 and all previous generation of Galaxy Note devices.

Disturbing curved screen on Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

Since Galaxy Note Edge (Note 4 Edge) and  Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung has tried hard to sell the “curved” screen as a premium feature.

But very few owners find the usefulness of the curved screen. Edge screen now is just a software feature that can be implemented on a flat-screen.

Currently, Samsung used the curved screen as an aesthetic feature.

The infinity display may look great. But it is annoying for day-to-day usage. It is hard to hold the phone without a case. It is so easy to tap the screen inadvertently.

For S Pen, the curved screen is a disaster.

When using the S Pen, you expect a “flat”, not a “curved” paper. The curved part of the screen is simply wasted as explained here.

So, the usable area for the S Pen is actually smaller. The usable area of the 6.9″ Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is actually smaller than the 5.7″ Galaxy Note 5 (the last Galaxy Note phone with a flat-screen in a 16:9 aspect ratio).

The smaller work area is further exacerbated by the large aspect ratio (narrow screen). In fact, the usable screen area on Galaxy Note decreased after Galaxy Note 5.

The “smaller” Galaxy Note 20 with a flat-screen is better for S Pen. But we do not recommend it.

Frustrating in-display fingerprint reader

Samsung introduced the in-display fingerprint reader in Galaxy S10 (except S10e). Samsung touted it as a flagship feature with the “advanced” technology behind it.

But the issue is that it is not user friendly. It is:

1. Slow and less efficient.  You need to wake up the screen (unless you are using always-on display), look at the screen, find the location and use sufficient force to “press” that part of the screen. With the “old” fingerprint reader, all these can be done by putting your finger on the reader. You do not need to wake up the screen. You do not need to look at the screen/phone to locate the sensor.
2. Hard to reach. You need to wake the screen or use AOD, to know where to press.
3. High false rejection rate. The “advanced” technology requires more efforts to register your finger input. You may have to try a few times to unlock the phone.

It is unclear when Samsung will stop such stupid innovations on Galaxy Note. Anyway, the in-display fingerprint reader deserves a spot among top disappointments of Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

Mediocre Exynos CPU in most regions

Samsung’s Exynos chips have gradually become an issue on Galaxy phones.

In the early days, Exynos 3, 4 and 5 could match or even exceed Qualcomm’s flagship snapdragon CPUs in terms of performance and power efficiency. But since Exynos 7  7420 (in Galaxy S6 and Note 5), snapdragon started to show advantages.  And the performance gap becomes wider and wider.

Samsung usually uses Qualcomm’s chipset for flagship phones sold in the US and a few other regions. In other regions, they opt for their own Exynos chipset.  Because Galaxy S and Galaxy Note devices are overpowered for most owners, you will only hear a few complaints of the Exynos CPUs in these phones from heavy gamers. But the widening performance gap between the top Exynos chipset and Snapdragon is not a secret.

The latest Exynos 990 chipset in Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, Galaxy S20 (all models) is only comparable to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855 in terms of performance. Only Galaxy Note 20 owners in the US and a few other regions get the latest Snapdragon 865+ (an improved version of 865).  In most regions, Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra get the same mediocre Exynos 990, which is identical to that on Galaxy S20.

Obviously, Samsung is aware of the inferiority of the Exynos chipset. In the home market (Korea), Samsung finally switched to Snapdragon this year for Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20.

The majority of the Galaxy Note 20 owners have to embrace the mediocre Exynos CPU.

Lacking micro SD card support on Galaxy Note 20

It is unclear why Samsung ditched the micro SD card support on Galaxy Note 20.   Galaxy Note 20 Ultra does support micro SD card.

Most Galaxy phone owners are happy to see the micro SD card support, although most of them may never use it.

But stripping a welcomed feature without justification shows again the arrogance of Samsung designers.

The micro SD card only takes a space of a micro SD size in the hybrid SIM card tray. In the dual SIM version of Galaxy Note 20, there are two slots anyway. So, it does not save any space.

The plastic back of Galaxy Note 20

Samsung switched to the non-removable glass back since Galaxy Note 5.  Now, Galaxy Note 20 switched back to the plastic back (to save cost?).  Galaxy Note 20 Ultra still use a glass back.

In fact, plastic is not as bad as you may think. It is more durable than glass.

The problem is Samsung switched to the plastic back to save cost without offering values. For example, prior to Galaxy Note 5, we all enjoyed the removable battery with the plastic back.  Then Samsung switched to the glass back and told us the glass back did not allow removable battery.

For iPhone 6 (released in 2014), you can still get a battery replacement at $50 in most Apple service centres in 2020. This explains why iPhone users do not care about the glass back or non-removable cover. But for Galaxy Note 5 (released one year later than iPhone 6in 2015), it is almost impossible to replace the battery in any Samsung service centres.  For Galaxy Note 4, you can still find many $20 (or cheaper) OEM batteries to swap in. The power of plastic back!!!

Personally, I’m not against the plastic back on Galaxy Note 20 if Samsung can share the saving (in cost) with owners or offer values for it.

But Samsung did neither.

Overpriced

Without the competition of Huawei, Samsung ramped up the price starting from Galaxy S20. Of course, the 5G licensing fee may be a factor as well.

But overall, Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra fail to offer the value for your money.

First, the S Pen is dead. It does not offer any value without supporting apps. And Samsung has no intention to offer meaningful apps for S Pen any more. So, Galaxy Note is simply a Galaxy S20 with a wasted S Pen.

For comparable performance and features, there are many alternative Android phones at a lower price.

No spare S Pen nibs

Different S Pen nibs offer different “drag” (resistance) on the screen.

So, S Pen requires different nibs on a naked screen or a screen with a screen protector to get the best experience. Actually, you may need to switch the S Pen nib if you change the screen protector from a plastic film to a tempered glass one.

Traditionally, in the Galaxy Note box, Samsung offers two types of spare S Pen nibs and a tweezer (to remove the nib).

In Galaxy Note 20 box, you can find the compartment designed for such spare nibs. But the compartment is empty!!

There are no spare S Pen nibs in Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra box.  Good cost-saving.

Good luck if you need additional S Pen nibs.

The S Pen nib in the S Pen is good for the screen with the pre-installed screen protector. In most regions, a plastic screen protector is pre-installed on Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra. If you remove it or change it to the tempered glass one, you may find the S Pen is too slippy.

No free cover or USB connector

In recent years, Samsung is generous by packing necessary accessories like a USB connector or a clear cover in the box of their flagship phones.

It seems Samsung suddenly stopped offering such accessories from Galaxy Note 20.

You can still find the empty compartments for these accessories in the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra box. This means it is a last-minute decision to remove the offer.

In a few markets, even the headset is not included in the box. You have to ask for it.

Surely, this is one of the disappointments of Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra for a lot of buyers.  Both are not sold as a budget phone.

The post Top 11 disappointments of Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

Although we did not list it as one of the top 10 new features of Galaxy Note 10, many owners found this feature is quite interesting.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains the details (and limitations) of the dynamic lock screen on Samsung Galaxy Note 10, how to enable, use, and customize the dynamic lock screen.

With the September 2019 update for Galaxy S10, this feature is also available on Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e now.

What is the Dynamic Lock screen on Galaxy Note 10?

By default, the wallpaper on Samsung Galaxy Note 10 does not change (static).  This means you will see the same picture again and again when you wake up the screen.

The Dynamic lock screen, introduced with Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+ of course), uses a pack of pictures as the lock screen wallpaper.

The phone will rotate them randomly so that you will very likely see a different lock screen when you wake up the screen.

All pictures/photos in the “pack” (category) are provided by Samsung. You need to download them to your phone before you can use them.

Samsung promised to update the packs every two weeks, and therefore, you will always get a “fresh” look of your Galaxy Note 10 lock screen.

In a nutshell, the dynamic lock screen means a new lock screen wallpaper when you wake up the screen.

How to enable the Dynamic Lock screen?

By default, this feature is not enabled. And the lock screen wallpaper on Galaxy Note 10 is static. You need to enable it manually if you want to make it dynamic (and fresh).

There are a couple of ways to enable the Dynamic lock screen on Samsung Galaxy phones.

Method 1: Settings — Wallpapers and themes

The first method to enable the dynamic lock screen feature on Galaxy Note 10 is from the wallpaper and theme settings.

As shown in the screenshot below, in the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Settings page, tap Wallpapers and themes (marked as 1).

This would take you to the Galaxy themes, as shown above.

You can tap the Dynamic lock screen to enable and use this feature.

Method 2: Settings –lock screen

On the Galaxy Note 10 Settings page, you can also tap the Lock screen (marked as 2), as shown earlier.

In the Lock screen page, as shown below, you can also find the option to enable the Dynamic lock screen.

Method 3: Home screen edit mode

You can tap and hold (long tap) any blank area in the Galaxy Note 10 Home screen to enter the Home screen edit mode.

You can also use the pinch gesture on the home screen to enter the edit mode.

Once in the Home screen edit mode, you can tap the Wallpapers button, as shown above.

The button also brings you to the Galaxy themes.

Method 4: Galaxy themes shortcut  on the home screen

In all recent Samsung Galaxy phones,  you can add a shortcut of Galaxy Themes to the home screen.

You can then enter Galaxy Themes by simply tapping the icon on the Home screen or Apps screen.

How to use and customize the Dynamic Lock screen on Galaxy Note 10?

After entering the dynamic lock screen page, as shown below, you can find that there are 5 curated sets (packs) of images for you to use on the lock screen:

• Landscapes.
• Life.
• Food.
• Pets.
• Art.

You can download all of them. But you can use only one set at any time. Samsung does not allow you to mix two or more sets of images.

The images will be updated by Samsung about every two weeks.

When you are on the lock screen, you can swipe left to see all available images in that category.

You can also tap the Menu key (3 vertical dots) on the lock screen.  You need to swipe to the left at least once to see the menu key, which is not available in the default lock screen.

As shown in the screenshot above, there are two options on the menu:

• Select categories. You can change to other packs of lock screen images.
• Hide this image. If you do not like the specific image, you can remove it from the pack.

Please note, this is the only way to inspect all images in the pack/category.

In the Dynamic lock screen page, you can tap the menu key to customize this feature.

As shown below, from the menu, you can:

• Change settings for the dynamic lock screen feature.
• Uninstall fresh packs.

In the settings for Dynamic lock screen, you can customize this feature, including:

• Turn on/off this feature.
• Use mobile networks to download new images.  The default is off. You should leave it off unless you have lots of cellular data.
• Update fresh packs. You can decide whether you want to update the images in the downloaded packs.
• Keep my images on the lock screen. This is a bit confusing. If you turn it on (default is off), your original lock screen wallpaper will be used on the default lock screen. You can then swipe to the left to see the images in the selected pack.  In other words, the lock screen is static as before you enable this feature. But you can swipe to check all of the pictures on the pack/category.

The post How to use the Dynamic Lock screen on Galaxy Note 10? appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

This Galaxy Note 10 accessories guide explains the unique features of the Galaxy Note 10 LED Wallet (View) cover, shows you how to use the LED case and customize the LED icons on the cover, answers the questions you may have on the LED View Cover.  A quick review of the Galaxy Note 10 LED View case explains the pros and cons of the cover.

Although the dimensions of the LED Wallet Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and for Galaxy Note 10+ are different, all features are identical on all Galaxy Note 10 devices. This guide applies to both Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+.

Unique features of Galaxy Note 10 LED View cover?

Galaxy Note 10 LED View Cover (aka LED wallet cover in some regions) is one of the “official” accessories of Galaxy Note 1o and Note 10+.  It is a typical two-piece flip cover.

The series of the LED case was first released with Galaxy S7. Samsung refined the features in the last few years.

The unique features of the Galaxy Note 10 LED Wallet cover include:

LED notification icons

Showing LED notification icons on an external case is one of the most significant selling points of the Galaxy Note 10 LED Wallet cover among the over-crowded flip covers.

When someone calls you or some apps get notifications, you will see the corresponding LED icons on the front part of the LED cover.

Samsung allows you to customize the icons for any individual contact (or contact group) and different apps so that you can immediately know whether the call/message/notification is important or not by looking at the icon without opening the cover.

Interact with the phone without opening the cover

Another unique feature of the LED wallet cover is that you can interact with the phone from the cover (without opening it).

For phone calls, you can accept or reject a call by swiping to the left or right on the LED cover.

You can also snooze or dismiss alarms similarly.

If you are playing music in the background, you can also control it on the cover without opening the cover (read on).

Card slot inside the cover

There is a card slot inside the front part of the Galaxy Note 10 LED View Cover. For this reason, the cover is often referred to as a wallet cover.

You can put one card or a few notes in the slot.

How to use Galaxy Note 10 LED View cover?

1. Put on and take off the LED wallet cover

Like Galaxy Note 10 clear view cover, the top part of the Galaxy Note 10 LED View Cover is not fully covered. So, it is quite easy to put on or take off the cover, compared to that on Galaxy S10 or Note 9.

When you put on the cover, you need to put the top part first, then snap the phone into the bottom part.

If you want to remove the cover, you should start from the bottom part.

2. Assign LED icons for contacts and apps

You can assign an LED icon to a contact, several contacts, or a group so that you can know who is calling you.

For each app, you can also assign an LED icon for notifications, and therefore, you can know which app is bugging you without opening the cover.

On Galaxy Note 10 Settings page, as shown in the screenshot below, tap Advanced features.

In the Advanced features page, as shown above, tap Accessories.

In the Accessories page, as shown below, you can find the LED Icon Editor and About LED View Cover.

If you cannot find these two entries in the Accessories page, it simply means the case/cover is not detected by the phone. You can try to remove it and then reapply it.

Please note, if you have used any fast wireless charger to charge Galaxy Note 10, you should also see the entry for fast wireless charging.

Now, tap the LED icon editor, as shown below, to assign and manage icons, or create new icons.

In the LED icons page, as shown above, you can:

• Assign an LED icon to one or more contacts or a group.
• Assign an LED icon to any apps.
• Manage LED icons for contacts and apps.
• Create your own LED icons (the + icon).

Please note, you can also access this page faster by tapping the LED Icon Editor in the Apps screen.

The LED Icon Editor App will be added automatically to the apps screen once the Galaxy Note 10 LED Wallet cover is detected.

The available LED icons are grouped into two groups, as shown above:

• Preloaded. By default, there are 49 preloaded LED icons.
• Custom. All LED icons created by you will be shown here.

Both groups of LED icons can be used equally. The major difference between these two groups of LED icons is that you can only modify or delete the LED icons in the custom group (these icons are created by you).

If you want to assign an LED icon (for example, the Smiley icon)  to your friend so that you can quickly identify the caller.

Tap the Smiley icon, as shown above.  The number below each icon indicates how many contacts and apps were assigned to this LED icon. 0 means it is not used by any contacts or apps.

In the Smiley icon page, as shown below, by default, you are in the Calls tab. If you want to assign the LED icon to an app for app notifications, you need to switch to the Notifications tab.

As shown above, you can then select one or more contacts from your address book for this icon.

If you want to assign this LED icon to an app, you can choose the app from the list of apps installed on the phone, as shown below.

For example, you want to use this LED icon for notifications from the Amazon shopping app.

You just need to select the app and confirm. Of course, you can assign this LED icon to more than one apps.

Once you finish to assign the Smiley icon to any contacts and/or any apps, you will see the icon on the Galaxy Note 10 LED cover when the person calls you, or the app sends you a notification.

3. Manage LED icons for contacts and apps

You can always change your mind by assigning a new LED icon or delete the LED icon for that contact or app.

Again, we use the Smiley icon as an example.

As shown above, in the Smiley icon page, tap the Menu key (3 vertical dots on the top right).

If you are in the Notifications tab, you will see the option of Manage apps, as shown below.

Of course, if you are in the Calls tab, you will get the option to manage contacts for this LED icon.

As shown above, after selecting the currently assigned app (Amazon shopping in this example), you have two options:

• Set icon. You can choose other LED icons to replace the current one (Smiley) for Amazon Shopping.
• Delete. You will delete the association between this LED icon and the Amazon  Shopping app, NOT delete the icon or delete the app.

You can manage the LED icon for contacts similarly.

4. Create own LED icons

You can create your own LED icons by tapping the + button in the LED icon page, which can be accessed through one of the two methods:

• Open the LED icon editor app (which appears automatically once Galaxy Note 1o recognizes the LED wallet cover.
• From Settings —Advanced features —Accessories—LED Icon Editor, as shown earlier.

You may follow this page to create your own LED icons.

5. Control music playing on Galaxy Note 10 LED View cover

You can control the music playing without opening the LED cover.

When the LED cover is closed, and music is playing, you can press the Side key (Power key, see Galaxy Note 10 layout) once to get the playing control buttons, as shown below.

From left to write, the three buttons are Back to the Previous, Pause/Play, and Jumping to the Next.

Review of Galaxy Note 10 LED View cover

The Galaxy Note 10 LED Wallet cover is a decent case for your Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+.  Of course, it is far far better than the transparent back cover in Galaxy Note 10 box.

But surely, it is not for everyone.

Pros of the LED View cover

• High-quality material.
• Perfect fit/cutout.
• Dirty-resistant.
• Moderate protection for both the front(screen) and the back.
• LED notification icons.
• Interaction with the phone without opening the cover.
• Card slot.

Cons of the LED View cover

• Overpriced.
• No fixture for the front part after you close the case. So, when in the pocket, the case may open and close inadvertently.
• A bit bulky.
• LED icon for contacts only works for calls, not text messages. All text messages use an identical LED notification icon.

Solutions for some problems of Galaxy Note 10 LED View cover

Q1: Galaxy Note 10 does not recognize the cover.

A1: The LED case should be recognized by the phone automatically. You do NOT need to install additional software/apps.

If Galaxy Note 10 does not recognize the case (i.e., there is no LED icon editor entry in Settings –Advanced features — Accessories ), you may try to remove the case, then put it on again. You may also try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.

Of course, if the phone still is unable to recognize the LED view case, you may check with the seller. Very likely, it is a faulty one.

Q2: Do I need to turn on NFC to use Galaxy Note 10 LED View cover?

A2: No, it is not necessary to manually turn on NFC.

NFC will be used automatically for the LED View case even you turn off NFC on Galaxy Note 10/10+.

Q3: Does the LED View case drain my phone battery?

A3: Although the Galaxy Note 10 LED Wallet case uses the phone battery, the battery consumption is very marginal.

You will not notice the difference in battery life with or without the LED case.

Q4: The LED case does not show notifications. Why?

A4: Very likely, the notification access permission is not granted for the LED Icon Editor.

You may go to Settings —Apps.

In the Apps page (Application manager), tap the menu key, as shown below.

From the menu, tap Special access, as shown above.

Now, in the Special access page, as shown below, tap Notification access.

As shown above, you need to make sure both LED cover and the LED Icon Editor have the notification access permission.

Although Samsung favors the Samsung Notes app, S Note app has a few clear advantages, especially for those who need to take notes in meeting rooms or lecture theaters.

This S Note guide explains the features of S Note app, the difference between the S Note app and Samsung Notes app, and shows you how to install S Note app and the extension pack on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

This guide also applies to Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy Note 9.  Older Galaxy Note devices have more options in the extension pack.

What’s S Note app?

An outstanding phone requires both the top-notch hardware and some flagship apps.

S Note was the flagship app on Galaxy Note devices. It demonstrates the productivity that S Pen can bring on a relatively large screen.

After the Marshmallow update for Galaxy Note 5, Samsung shifted focus to the general-purpose Samsung Notes app and stopped the active development of S Note app.

But Samsung has NOT abandoned the S Note app, although it has not been pre-installed since Galaxy Note 8. So, you cannot find the S Note app on Galaxy Note 8, 9, and 10.

Basically, S Note is a note-taking app.  But it is a very unique note-taking app.

The noteworthy features of the S Note app include:

1. It supports multimedia files.  You can embed pictures, audios, and videos into the note.
2. It supports paginations. You can organize one note into various pages.
3. It supports collections. You can organize notes into collections (like books, or book chapters).
4. It supports rich text. You can format the text like in Microsoft Word.
5. It supports tags.
6. It has a built-in illustration art library. You can insert any of the illustrations (and shapes) into a note.
7. It supports S Pen.
8. It supports pressure levels with S Pen.
9. It supports shape recognition (and conversion). The S Note app can convert your dawing
10. It supports sketch recording.
11. It supports handwriting transformation.
12. It supports layers. You can overlay many layers on any location of any pages.
13. It supports formula transformation. This feature is available in Note 10. But it seems it does not work as expected. It now converts to a Latex-like expression without r

There are some great features that were removed after Galaxy Note 5. These include:

• Action memo.
• Photo Note. You can convert your photo into lines (sketch).
• Easy chart. You can insert a table, bar, line, or pie chart in the notes as demonstrated in this guide.
• Idea sketch. You can quickly insert and add line arts (sketches) by search with words.

Of course, these features were not available on Galaxy Note 8, Note 9 and Note 10.

S Note vs. Samsung Notes

Samsung used the Samsung Notes app as a replacement of the S Note app.

But this is not an upgrade.

Compared to S Note, the only advantage of the Samsung Notes app is that its interface is more modern.

Samsung Notes does not support layers

Samsung Notes app allows you to type text, write or draw with the S Pen, insert pictures.

But you cannot overlay them.

S Note app does support multiple layers.  You can overlay text, drawings, pictures, illustrations, and other items.

You can push up or bring down any layers, adjust the transparency of each layer.

Basically, you can imagine S Note app is 3D, and Samsung Notes app is only 2D.

Samsung Notes lacks the productivity tools

In the S Note app, shape recognition can convert your drawing to some standard shapes automatically.

You can also manually convert your drawing or writing into text, formula, or shape.

Besides, there is a built-in illustration database with the S Note app. You can easily insert them into your notes.

If you draw something in the S Note app, you can record the drawing process.

Unfortunately, none of these features is available on Samsung Notes.

Samsung Notes lacks pagination and collections

S Note was designed for serious note-taking, not for a shopping list.

So, you can take a multi-page note for a class. Then group these notes into a collection.  It works just like a real note pad.

On the contrary, Samsung Notes was designed for daily use. There is only one page. Pages may be used automatically when you export the note to PDF or Microsoft Word files.

How to install S Note App on Galaxy Note 10?

Although S Note is not pre-installed on Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ in all regions, Samsung did maintain the app so that all Galaxy Note device owners can still install and enjoy this ancient app.

You can easily install S Note app from Galaxy Store.

 Search S Note app in the Galaxy Store

As shown in the screenshot below, type S Note app in the search bar.

Samsung no longer lists S Note app among the “essential apps.”

As shown above, you should be able to find the S Note app.

Please note, S Note is only available for Galaxy Note devices and a few tablets with S Pen.

Install S Note app

You can tap the download icon to install the app without checking it.

Of course, it is recommended to tap the search results to read the details of the app.

In the details page for the S Note app, as shown below, you can then tap the install button to install it to Galaxy Note 10.

You need to wait a while for the installation.

Now, you get the S Note app on Galaxy Note 10.

But this is only the “base” of the S Note app.  You MUST install the Extension pack to get the advanced features of the S Note app.

S Note without the Extension pack is almost useless.

How to install S Note extension pack on Galaxy Note 10?

S Note Extension pack is a free add-on offered by Samsung.

Although a few very useful features (e.g., photo note, easy chart, action memo) were gradually removed, the extension pack still offers some extremely useful features including:

• Shape recognition.
• Shape transformation.
• Handwriting transformation.
• Formula transformation.
• Magnified notes.
• Sketch recording.
• Layer properties

So, the Extension pack is essential for S Note app.

If you use S Note app without the Extension pack, it means you do not S Note app. In this case, Samsung Notes or other Note-taking apps (like OneNote) are better for you.

Anyway, you may follow these steps to install S Note Extension pack.

Step 1: Open S Note app

When you open the S Note app for the first time, it will ask for some permissions like storage (to save notes on Galaxy Note 10), camera (to insert photos), and microphone (to add recordings).

You should grant these permissions for the app.

Step 2: Open the menu

As shown below, in the S Note main page, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots) to access S Note app menu.

Step 3:  Navigate to More features — extension pack.

As shown above, in the menu, tap More features.

On Galaxy Note 10 ( Note 9 and Note 8), there are only two entries for more features:

• Extension pack.
• S Notre widget.

If you are still using vintage Note devices, for example, Galaxy Note 5 or Note 4, you should have two additional features:

• Easy chart.
• Idea sketch.

As discussed earlier, these two features are not available on Note devices after Galaxy Note 5.

Anyway,  tap Extension pack as shown below to check the details.

Step 4:  Install S Note Extension pack

After tapping Extension pack in the More features page, you will be directed to the Extension pack page in Galaxy Store, as shown above.

You have to access Extension pack page through the S Note app.

Tap Install to install the extension pack.

Step 5: Use the Extension pack

Extension pack is not an app.

After you install it, S Note app will be different.

For example, the following two screenshots compare the default UI of an empty page.

After installing the extension pack, there are 3 additions on the UI :

• Media insert (A) and selection icon. Without the extension pack, you have to access them from the page menu (read on).
• Shape recognition mode (B).
• Magnified note mode (C).

We will explain these features in separate guides.

The following two screenshots compare the S Note page menu with or without the extension pack.

Two items were added:

• Show Magnified note (D).
• Record sketching (E)

Do you know the difference between the S Note app and Samsung Notes app? Can you install S Note app and Extension pack on Galaxy Note 10 now?

If you have any questions on the difference between Samsung Notes and S Note, or installing S Note app (and extension pack) on Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, you may let us know in the comment box below.

The community will try to help you.

The post Install S Note app and Extension pack on Galaxy Note 10 appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains how to use camera quick launch, the components and their meaning/usage of the camera app, and supported gestures in Galaxy Note 10 camera app.

Except for the depth camera, which is not discussed in this guide, Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10 Plus share identical camera components. So, this guide applies to both Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+.

How to use Galaxy Note 10 camera quick launch?

By default, on Galaxy Note 10, you can quickly press the Side key (see Galaxy Note 10 layout) twice to launch the camera. This is referred to as Galaxy Note 10 camera quick launch.

Of course, you can customize the side key to remap the double press gesture to other apps, as explained in this guide.

Anyway, in addition to tapping the camera app icon, or using voice commands (Bixby or Google Assistant), you can also use the Galaxy Note 10 camera quick launch to open the camera app.

As explained in this guide, you can remap the Side key for other apps, or use other Side key gestures for camera quick launch.

Understand the components of Galaxy Note 10 Camera App interface?

In recent years, Samsung tried to keep the Camera app consistent through their Android phones.

So, if you just migrate from Samsung Galaxy Note 9, or Galaxy S10, you will find the camera app interface is very familiar.

As shown in the screenshot below, typically, there are 10-15 components (depending on what you are using) in the camera app interface.

#1. the shutter button

You can tap the shutter button to take photos, just like in any other camera apps.

If you hold the shutter button, by default, the burst mode will be activated. You can deactivate the burst mode by assigning the long tap gesture of the shutter button:

• To take one picture (same as tapping the shutter button once).
• To create GIF animations.

Of course, inmost Samsung Galaxy phones, there are some other shooting methods. In addition to the shutter button, you can also use voice, floating shutter button, gesture, or volume button to take photos as explained in this guide.

Please note, if you change the camera mode to Video, live focus, super slow motion, slow motion, or hyper-lapse (modes in the right of the photo/auto mode), the shutter button will look different.

#2. Shortcut to the Gallery app

You can access the Gallery app in Galaxy Note 10 quickly from the camera app.

By default, the thumbnail of the last-taken photo will be used as the icon. But if you start the camera app without unlocking the phone (i.e., open camera from Galaxy Note 10 lock screen), then you will see the Gallery app icon. This is a security feature, not a bug.

#3. Front & rear camera switcher

You can tap the button to switch between the front and rear cameras.

You can also use gestures to switch the cameras (read on).

#4. Camera modes

By default, when you start the camera app, the default photo mode (Auto mode) will be activated. You can change it to last used mode in the camera settings.

If you want to use other Galaxy Note 10 camera modes, you can just swipe left or right, then select.

Please note, on Galaxy Note 10 (and some other Galaxy phones with Android Pie), there is no separate Recording button in the camera app. Instead, you need to change the camera mode to video, then use the shutter button to record videos.

#5. Scene optimization

Scene optimization can automatically apply some optimized settings based on the AI engine integrated into Galaxy Note 10.

It is recommended to leave it on (default).

If you do not like it, you can tap the icon to turn it off. The icon will be grayed out, and standard settings will be applied.

You can also turn it on/off in the camera settings.

#6. Zoom and camera lens selection

For both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, there are 3 rear camera lens: ultra-wide-angle, wide-angle, and telephoto.

You can tap the corresponding icon to choose the desired lens.

You can also tap and hold (long tap) on any icons to set the optical zoom (0.5x to 2x) and digital zoom, as shown below.

#7. Galaxy Note 1o camera settings icon

You can access the settings page for the camera.

Please refer to this page (coming soon) for details.

#8. Flash

You tap to cycle through 3 flash options for Galaxy Note 10 camera:

• Off (No flash).
• Auto  (depending on lighting conditions).
• On.

Normally, it is recommended not to use the camera flash, which usually results in poor photos quality. The photo looks washed out and lacking details.

If the lighting condition is not good, you may try the Night camera mode or the Pro camera mode.

Please note, the ultra-wide-angle camera does not support flash.

Some Galaxy Note 10 modes do not support flash as well. These camera modes include:

• Night mode.
• Food mode.
• Panorama mode.
• Video mode.
• Hyperlapse mode.

#9. Timer

You have 4 options for the timer of Galaxy Note 10 camera:

• Off.
• 2 seconds.
• 5 seconds.
• 10 seconds.

On Galaxy Note 10, there is no option to “Take 3” photos. So, you need to manually check the photo after it is taken.

Please note, the food and panorama modes do not support timer.

#10. Photo size (aspect ratio) settings

You can tap the button to set the aspect ratio as:

• 4:3
• 16:9
• 1:1
• Full (19:9).

There are NO photo size settings in Galaxy Note 10. Samsung removed the photo size settings since Galaxy S10.

Each aspect ratio has ONE size (which is the largest possible size of the sensor). You may check this guide on the explanation.

#11. Camera effects

If you want, you can still apply some camera effects for photos taken with Samsung Galaxy Note 10 without using any photo editing apps.

You can choose different filters and turn on/off the beauty mode. You can also download some camera effects from the Galaxy Apps.

Please note, the AR stickers are accessed from AR Emoji button (14).

#12. HDR

For HDR on Galaxy Note 10, you can

• Disable HDR (not recommended).
• Enable when needed (default, auto).
• Always on.

If you choose to enable HDR when needed (let the camera decide), you will see the HDR icon when HDR is enabled.

Galaxy Note 10 camera is quite smart, and you can leave the default on.

#13. Bixby vision

This button actually is a shortcut to the Bixby Vision app.

#14. AR Emoji

Both AR Emoji and AR stickers can be accessed from this button.

You can also create a shortcut for AR Emoji on Galaxy Note 10 Home screen so that you can use it without opening the camera app.

#15. Preview screen for Galaxy Note 10 camera

The rest of the screen is a preview screen. You can check the range of the photo to be taken.

Gestures in Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Camera App

Samsung introduced gestures to the camera apps in all Galaxy S and Note phones since Android Nougat update.

On the Galaxy Note 10 camera app, you can use 5 types of gestures.

1. Swipe up/down to switch front and rear cameras.
2. Swipe left/right to choose camera modes for the camera.
3. Tap to focus. You can tap anywhere to change focus to the tapped area. At the same time, this gesture also calls out the exposure settings for the camera.
4. Long tap (tap and hold) to lock AF/AE. You can lock the focus and exposure to the tapped area.
5. Pinch/spread to zoom in/out.  As mentioned above, you can also use the camera selection area to zoom in and zoom out.

Please do not confuse these gestures with navigation gestures.

The post How to Use Galaxy Note 10 Camera App? appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

But do you know how to add or replace the Galaxy Note 10 SIM card? Do you know your Galaxy Note 10 is single SIM version of dual-SIm version? Do you know how to use the SIM card tray and use two SIM cards on the phone?

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains everything you need to know about using SIM cards on Galaxy Note 10: the sim card size, dual-SIM vs single-SIM, adding/replacing SIM cards, using the SIM card tray, managing and customizing  SIM cards, and using two SIM cards. It also answers some questions you may have about using SIM card on Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Note 10+.

What’s the SIM card size for Galaxy Note 10?

Both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10 requires nano-SIM (the smallest one).

Traditionally, SIM card comes with 4 types of size (form factor):

1. Full-size SIM. There are no smartphones using it.
2. Mini-SIM. You can only find it in vintage phones.
3. Micro-SIM. The popular SIM card 3-4 years ago.
4. Nano-SIM. The mainstream SIM card.

The relative size of these 4 SIM card sizes is illustrated in the picture below.

Most phone companies offer 3-in-1 SIM cards. What you need is the smallest one.

You can detach the nano-SIM (the smallest part) and use it on Galaxy Note 10, as shown below.

Please note, you should not throw away the remaining plastic part.  You can use it as a SIM card adapter for old devices that may require a micro-SIM or even mini-SIM card.

If you are using one of the following popular phones, you can use the existing SIM card on Galaxy Note 10:

• Samsung Galaxy Note 5,  Note 7 FE, Note 8, and Note 9.
• Samsung Galaxy S6, S7, S8, S9, S10 and all their variants (e.g., S10, S10+, S10e, S9, S9+, S8,  S8+, S7, S7 Edge, S6, S6 Edge, and S6 Edge+).
• Any of Samsung Galaxy A series: Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, and A9.
• Galaxy J3 2017 and later, Galaxy J5 2017 and later, Galaxy J7 and later.
• iPhone 5, 6, 7, 8 and X (and all variants).
• Moto X (all generations).
• Moto Z (all generations)
• Moto G5, G6, and G7.
• Moto E4 and E5.
• Pixel and Pixel XL (all generations).
• LG G5, G6, G7, G8 (all variants), V10, V20, V30, V40 and V50.

Please note, this is not an exhaust list.  If you are not sure, you can post your phone brand and model in the comments section. We will check it for you.

If your old phone uses a micro-SIM card,  and your carrier (greedy one!) will charge you for changing to the nano-SIM,  you may trim the old SIM card to a nano-SIM card. It is recommended to do it in the handphone shop. They have a specialized clipper, which is more accurate and safer than your scissors.

If your dinosaur phone uses a mini-SIM card,  it is probably impossible to trim it to a nano-SIM card because the metal part is a bit too large. You may check with your the local headphone shop first.

Is your Galaxy Note 10 the Dual-SIM version or Single SIM version?

There are two versions of Galaxy Note 10 (and Galaxy Note 10+): single-SIM and dual-SIM.

Please note all Galaxy Note 10 5G and Galaxy Note 10+ 5G only support one SIM card. We will discuss the 5G variant in this post.

In most regions, Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ are dual-SIM version except:

• All Galaxy Note 10 devices sold in the USA.
• Galaxy Note 10 5G.
• Galaxy Note 10+ 5G.

These Galaxy Note 10 devices are single SIM version only.

For the single-SIM version, you can use only one SIM card. You have no options.

For the dual-SIM version, you can use up to 2 SIM cards in dual-SIM dual-standby (DSDS) mode. Of course, you can choose to use only one.

Please note, for the dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, you cannot use the micro SD card if you use two SIM cards.

How to use Galaxy Note 10 SIM card tray?

The SIM card tray in Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ is different.

Galaxy Note 10 does not support micro SD card as explained in this post. So, the SIM card tray is for the SIM card(s) only.

For the single-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10, you can find the SIM card tray only has one slot for your SIM card.

The dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10 has two slots. Both are for the SIM card only, as illustrated below.

Galaxy Note 10+ uses a hybrid card tray. Slot 1 is for SIM card only.  Slot 2  can be used for the micro SD card only, for the single-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, as illustrated below.

For the dual SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, slot 2 can be used for either a SIM card or a micro SD card (but not both at the same time).

The two scenarios (options) are illustrated below.

How to add, change, or remove the SIM card?

You may follow the following steps to add, change, or remove the SIM card for Galaxy Note 10.

Step 0: Power off Galaxy Note 10/Note 10+

It is recommended to power off Galaxy Note 10 before adding or replacing the SIM card.

Some carriers may ask you to reboot the phone if you add or change a SIM card without powering off the phone.

Step 1: Eject the SIM card tray

You should insert the ejection pin in the Galaxy Note 10 box, to the hole of the SIM card tray (see Galaxy Note 10 layout) as shown in the animation below.

You need to apply some force so the SIM card tray can be ejected.

Do NOT pierce the microphone or the top speaker on the top side of Galaxy S10.

As the official Samsung cases for Galaxy Noe 10 and Note 10+ (e.g., Galaxy Note 1o clear view cover) do not cover the top part of the phone, it is not necessary to remove the cover to access the tray.

Step 2: Pull out of  the SIM card tray

Once the SIM card tray is ejected, you can pull it out from the phone.

Step 3: Place the SIM card into the SIM card tray

For the single-SIM version Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+, you have to put the SIM card into slot 1.

For the dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, you can put the SIM card into either slot. You can also put two SIM cards into the two slots individually. In this case, the slot number does not matter. But, if you want to use a micro SD card, you MUST put the SIM card into slot 1 only because slot 1 cannot hold a micro SD card.

When placing the SIM card, you need to make sure:

• The metal (gold-plated) part is facing downwards (away from the screen when the SIM card tray is placed on the phone).
• The notch in the SIM card matches the slot.

Step 4: Secure SIM card in the SIM card tray

You now need to press the SIM card gently so that it is secured in the SIM card tray.

Step 5: Put back the SIM card tray

Once the SIM card is secured, you can push back the SIM card tray into the phone.

Step 6: Power on the phone

If you powered off the phone before these steps, you could now power on the phone.

How to use two SIM cards on the dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10

For the dual SIM version of Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, you can use two SIM cards concurrently in the dual-standby mode.

When two SIM cards are used, you can set the preferred SIM card for calls, messages, and mobile data in the Settings.

As shown in the screenshot below, in the Galaxy Note 10 Settings, tap Connections.

In the Connections settings page, tap SIM card manager, as shown above.

In the Galaxy Note 10 SIM card manager, as shown below, you can:

1. Manage and customize individual SIM card.
2. Assign preferred (default) SIM card for calls, messages, and mobile data.
3. Enable/disable dual SIM always on.

For example, you want to manage SIM card 1.

So, tap SIM 1 (marked as 1) as shown below.

You can now manage and customize SIM card 1, as shown above:

• Enable/disable this SIM card (without removing it).
• Choose a new icon for this SIM card.
• Give a name to this SIM card.
• Set network mode for this SIM card. You should not mess up this setting unless you know what you are doing.

In the SIM card manager, you can also set the preferred SIM card for calls, SMS, and mobile data.

For example, tap calls (marked as 2), you will then have the option to set the preferred SIM card for calls as:

• Ask always.
• SIM 1.
• SIM 2.

Please note, on the dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10, Phone app (dialer) and Messages app always have two buttons for each SIM card if two SIM cards are detected.

So, this preferred SIM card setting is mainly for other apps (e.g., Bixby).

When you use two SIM cards in DSDS mode, as explained in this guide, both SIM cards can be in standby mode simultaneously.

But only one SIM card can be engaged in voice calls (even for voLTE).

So, when you are in a voice call through one SIM card and someone calls the number of the other SIM card, the caller will get “not reachable” response by default.

If you want to make both SIM cards reachable, you can enable dual SIM always on as shown above.

Please note, you should enable dual SIM always on only if both SIM cards are local SIM cards. Because the dual SIM always on will set up call forwarding to each other, roaming calls can be very expensive for call forwarding.

FAQs on Galaxy Note 10 SIM card

Can I use the phone without a SIM card?

Of course, you can use Galaxy Note 10 or Galaxy Note 10+ without a SIM card.

In this case, you cannot access any mobile services. You are just using an expensive Galaxy Note 10 as a cheaper WiFi-only tablet.

Can I convert the single SIM version Galaxy Note 10 into dual-SIM version?

No, you cannot convert the single SIM version into the dual SIM version because in the single-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10 (Note 10+)

• There is no hardware to read the second SIM card.
• There are no options for the second SIM card in the software.

So, do not waste money and time to convert the single-SIM Galaxy Note 10 (or 10+) to the dual-SIM version.

Can I use two SIM cards AND a micro SD card on the dual-SIM version of Galaxy Note 10?

No, you cannot.

If you use two SIM cards, then there is no place for the micro SD card

Although there are some guides teaching you how to hack the SIM card to stack SIM card with the micro SD card, you should NOT try.

Is it safe to trim the SIM card to a nano-SIM?

It depends.

Normally, it is easy to trim a micro-SIM card into a nano-SIM card.

But for a mini-SIM card, it can be very tough due to the large metal part.

The post Galaxy Note 10 SIM Card Guide appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

This is one of the most useful new features of Galaxy Note 10.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains the setup and requirements of Samsung DeX and shows you how to use the DeX for PC with Galaxy Note 10. Some caveats of using Samsung DeX were also explained.

What is the difference between DeX for PC and Samsung DeX?

Samsung DeX is the desktop mode of the supported Android phones (mainly Samsung Galaxy S and Note series) and a few Galaxy Tab S tablets.

With an external dongle (Samsung DeX Station, DeX Pad, or DeX cable), you can use the phone or tablet in desktop mode on an external monitor with a mouse and keyboard. You can use the phone on the phone screen simultaneously or use the phone screen as a touchpad.

Samsung introduced the Samsung DeX with Galaxy S8. Galaxy Note 8, Note 9, S9, S10, and now Galaxy Note 10 all support Samsung DeX.

Prior to Galaxy Note 10, you need an adapter to run Samsung DeX. The following table summarizes the compatibility of DeX accessories with the supported Samsung phones.

Although DeX for PC is just a special mode of Samsung DeX, the difference between Samsung DeX and DeX for PC is obvious:

• Samsung DeX works on a monitor (or TV). DeX for PC works on a PC or laptop.
• Samsung DeX requires a mouse (keyboard is optional). You can use the phone screen as a touchpad (requires Android Oreo or later Android). DeX for PC uses your PC/laptop’s keyboard and mouse.
• DeX for PC allows you to drag and drop to share files between the phone and the PC.
• DeX for PC only requires a USB cable. Both USB-C cable and USB-A to USB-C cable are supported.
• DeX for PC only works with Galaxy Note 10  and Galaxy Note+ (and Tab S6 for tablet). While Samsung DeX works with more devices.

Steps for using DeX for PC with Galaxy Note 10

You may follow the following steps to enjoy Samsung DeX for PC.

Step 1:  Download the software on the PC

To use DeX for PC, you need to download the app on the PC/laptop.  Currently, Windows (Windows 7 and 10) and Mac are supported. Linux is not supported.

In this guide, we use a Windows PC with a Chrome browser.

You should visit the official Samsung DeX website: https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/samsung-dex/

As shown below, type the address (marked as 1) in the browser.

After the page is loaded, you can then click For Windows 7 and 10 (marked as 2) to download the software installer.

Step 2: Install the software

After the software is downloaded, you can click it to install (marked as 3), as shown above.

Of course, you can open Windows Explorer to find the downloaded file and install it.

When you start to install the DeX for PC app on the PC/laptop, it will ask you to agree with the terms.

You have to agree to it (marked as 4). Otherwise, the Next button (marked as 5) will be grayed out.

After you check to agree to the terms, you can then click Next to start the installation.

Like other software/apps on Windows PC, you have the option to choose the installation location before the installation actually starts.

As shown above, you can choose the installation directory on the PC or laptop,

You can also choose to run the program (Samsun Dex) after installing and/or creating a shortcut on the Desktop.

Once you are ready, click the Install button (marked as 6) as shown above.

The installation has now started. You should have a cup of coffee and wait.

The progress will be shown on the screen, as shown below. It should just take one or two minutes.

On some PCs or laptops, you may need to install the USB driver that is needed for Samsung DeX for PC.

As shown in the screenshot above,  a prompt will ask you to install the USB diver during the installation or first use.

Anyway, you should click OK to install the USB driver.

Step 3: Connect Galaxy Note 10 (1o+) to the PC/laptop

Now, you can connect Galaxy Note 10 to the PC/laptop with a USB cable.

Both USB-C cable (as in the Galaxy Note 10 box) and USB-A to USB-C cable (as in the Galaxy Note 9 box) can be used.

Also, USB 2.0 and USB 3.o are supported. So, you can use any USB ports on the PC/laptop to use Samsung DeX for PC.

Once you connect Galaxy Note 10 to the PC, you should see the notification about DeX for PC “Samsung DeX is connected“, as shown below.

Step 4:  Start Samsung DeX for PC on the PC

After the Galaxy Note 10 is connected to the PC, Samsung DeX for PC on the PC or laptop should start automatically, by default.

If the program does not start automatically (e.g., due to your settings on the PC), you can manually start it by clicking the shortcut on the desktop as shown below.

On the PC, you should get the DeX window, as shown below.

You can now use the Samsung DeX.

For example, as shown below, you can drag a drop file to the DeX window.

The file will be saved in the Downloads folder on the phone.

Please note that drag-and-drop is one-way with Samsung DeX for PC.  You cannot drag and drop a file from the DeX window to the laptop.

If you need to copy files from the phone (Galaxy Note 10) to the PC, you still have to use Windows Explorer.

You may check this guide on the interface and settings for the DeX window.

How to exit the full-screen mode in Samsung DeX?

You need to move your mouse to the top of the screen to see the option, as shown below.

You can resize the DeX window to the default size, close the window, or minimize the window.

Caveats of using Samsung DeX for PC (and Samsung DeX)

Here are some caveats of using Samsung DeX with Galaxy Note 10.

#1. Microsoft Office is not free in DeX mode

Microsoft is a prominent partner when launching Galaxy Note 10. But it seems they are looking at your wallet.

In almost all regions, Microsoft Office mobile apps are pre-installed on Galaxy Note 10. Of course, Samsung does not want to share the commission with the buyers.

It is free to use Microsoft Office on Galaxy Note 10 (and any other Android devices with a screen size of less than 10.5 inches).

But if you use Samsung DeX, Microsoft Office is no longer free.  You can only view office documents. You need an active Office 365 subscription to edit or create files.

This is the limitation of the Galaxy Note 10 or  Samsung DeX on PC.  Microsoft wants you to pay if you want to use Microsoft Office in the Samsung DeX mode regardless of the phone and monitor size.

You can use the Hancom Office (which is free for Samsung DeX. You should install it from Galaxy Apps, not the Play Store) or Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides as alternatives.

#2. Linux on DeX is not supported on Galaxy Note 10

If you bought the 512GB Galaxy Note 10+ with the intention of turning Galaxy Note 10 into a Linux desktop, you would be disappointed.

Linux on DeX is NOT supported on Galaxy Note 10.

The reason for excluding Galaxy Note 10 from the list of supported devices is unclear.

If you want to run full Linux in Samsung DeX, you have to use older devices (Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S10, Galaxy Tab S4, and Galaxy Tab S5e).

#3. 4K display is NOT supported.

Samsung DeX and Dex for PC only support up to 2K (WQHD) display.

#4. Some apps may not be resized freely

You may find some apps can not be resized in the DeX mode.

The problem is created by the app developer, not Samsung DeX. The app simply does not support Android Multi-Window.

You can force them to be resizeable when in DeX mode.

As shown below, you can click the DeX button on the bottom-left corner of the DeX window to expand it.

Then click DeX Labs as shown below.

On the Samsung DeX Labs page, you can enable “force apps to resize“, as shown above.

Now, you should be able to resize all apps freely. All apps run in free-form mode.

#5. You cannot use one app on two screens concurrently.

Although you can use the DeX window and the phone concurrently, you will be asked to restart the app if you try to run one app on two screens concurrently.

For example, if the My Files app is opened on the DeX window, you will get the prompt to restart the app when you try to use the app on the phone.

This is normal for all Android apps, which only support one instance.

Do you have any questions on using Samsung DeX for PC?

We will try to help you.

The post How to use Samsung DeX for PC with Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+? appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

Galaxy Note 10 Clear View cover (S-View cover) allows you to answer calls, control music playing, and check notifications on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ without opening the cover.

The new S View window makes the cover substantially different from previous generations of clear view (S View) covers.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains how to change the text orientation in the new S View window and how to use the always-on display (AOD) with the Galaxy Note 10 clear view cover. A quick review of the clear view (S View) cover is also included.

A short-history of Samsung’s clear view cover and S View cover

S View cover was first introduced with Galaxy S4. Galaxy Note 3 is the first Note device with an official S-View Cover.

The S View cover is featured by a translucent “window” on the front cover. Some cool and fancy features were tried, polished, and abandoned by Samsung from Galaxy S4 to Galaxy S7 (and Galaxy Note 3, Note 4, and Note 5).

Since Galaxy S6 (and Galaxy Note 5), a new clear-view flip cover was introduced together with the S-View cover.

For Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8, the S View cover was merged with the clear view cover. Some S View features were ported to the clear view cover. This is the reason why the clear view cover is often referred to as the S View cover in some markets. At the same time, the S View camera was removed in all clear view covers. This means you cannot access the camera when the clear view cover is closed.

What’s new in Galaxy Note 10 clear view cover (S View cover)?

All previous clear view covers (e.g., Galaxy S10 clear view cover) have a translucent front. The whole front cover is one piece.

The clear view cover for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ uses a two-piece front cover, as shown below.

The majority of the front cover is fabric-like and opaque (marked as 2, as shown below). The material of this part is actually similar to that in the Galaxy Note 10 LED view cover. So it is no longer glossy.

The translucent part (marked as 1 in the photo above) is on the right edge of the front cover. So, it covers the screen that is traditionally used by the Edge screen (see Galaxy Note 10 layout).

Because of the shape of the translucent part, the information shown on the S View window will be aligned in the vertical direction instead of the horizontal direction as in previous S View (clear view) covers.

Please note the Clear View Cover (and S View cover) itself does not show anything. All the info is shown on the Galaxy Note 10 screen. The cover only triggers (controls) the display in a specific area of the screen.

The top part of the Galaxy Note 10 S View (clear view) cover is no longer covered. So, it is not necessary to remove the cover when you add, change, or replace SIM cards or micro SD cards.

How to adjust the text directions on Galaxy Note 10 clear view cover?

By default, the text direction in the S View window is from the top to the bottom. So, it is best to look from the left side of Galaxy Note 10.

If you want, you can reverse the text direction on the clear view (S View) cover.

In Galaxy Note 1o Settings, as shown in the screenshot below, tap Advanced features.

On the Advanced Features page, as shown above, tap Accessories.

Please note that on Galaxy Note 10, many useful settings (e.g., S Pen settings) are placed on the advanced features page. You should spend some time on this page to try some features that are new to you.

As shown below, tap the Text direction in the Accessories page (under Clear View Cover).

Please note if you cannot find the Clear View Cover under the Accessories page, it means the cover was not recognized by Galaxy Note 10. You may try to remove it and then put it on again.

Now, you can adjust the text direction for the Galaxy Note 10 S View Cover.

If you change the text direction from Bottom to top, you can immediately preview it on the top (marked in the green rectangle).

How to use the always-on display (AOD) with Galaxy Note 10 clear view (S View) cover?

By default, when you close the clear view cover, the always-on display will not be activated.

If you want, you can turn on the always-on display after closing the clear view cover. The always-on display will be activated on the screen under the translucent part of the clear view cover.

To enable the Galaxy Note 10 always-on display for the Galaxy Note 10 S View cover, you can go to Galaxy Note 10 Settings —Lock screen.

In the Lock screen settings page, tap Always On Display, as shown in the screenshot below.

Please note you should tap the Always On Display field (left to the button) to access the Always On Display settings.

If you tap the button, you simply enable/disable the always-on display. It will not bring you to the AOD settings.

As shown above, in the Always On Display (AOD) settings page, you can find the option for “Don’t show when cover closed“.

If you turn on this option, Galaxy Note 10 AOD will not be activated when the S View cover on Galaxy Note 10 is closed.

Of course, if you want to enable the Always-on display on the clear view cover, you should turn it off (as shown in the screenshot).

But wait. You also need to adjust AOD settings so that it can work with the Galaxy Note 1o clear view cover.

Since Galaxy S10 (actually since the Anbdrtoid Pie update), Samsung added show mode for the always-on display. By default, the Tap to Show mode is used. Under this show mode, the AOD screen only lights up for about 10 seconds, then turns off. You need to tap the screen again to bring the AOD screen for another 10 seconds. You may check this guide on this behavior.

The Tap to Show mode does NOT work with Galaxy Note 10 clear view cover.

Once you close the cover, Galaxy Note 10 will NOT respond to tap to show.

So, to make the always-on display work with the clear view cover on Galaxy Note 10, you need to choose Show Always mode or Show as Scheduled mode (as highlighted in the green box above) for the AOD screen.

The limitations of using AOD screen on the clear view cover

In addition to the show mode, there are a few limitations of the AOD screen on the clear view cover. These include:

• Your customization to the AOD screen or lock screen (e.g., watch face) will not be used. Instead, the clear view cover will always use its own watch face (digital clock).
• You cannot use AOD and lock screen’s FaceWidgets when the cover is closed. Only the digital clock and notification icons will be shown on the AOD screen when the cover is closed.

Review of Galaxy Note 10 S View cover

The pros of the clear view cover for Galaxy Note 10 include:

• Perfect fit. As one of the official Samsung Galaxy accessories, the cover fits the phone perfectly.
• Quality material. The fabric-like part feels excellent in the hands. It is far better than the materials used for the Galaxy S10 clear view cover.
• High build quality.
• Decent protection. The cover protects both the front and back of the phone.
• Great grip. Thanks to the fabric-like material used, the cover is easy to hold.
• S View features.

The cons of the Galaxy Note 10 S view (clear view) cover include:

• No magnet to fix the front cover. The front cover cannot be fixed.
• Still over-priced. The MSRP of this year’s clear view  (S View) cover is $49.99. It is still overpriced, although Samsung reduced the price for this cover this year.

Please note, compared to the Galaxy Note 9 clear view cover, the clear view cover for Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+) does not have a kickstand.  This makes this cover lighter.

So, Galaxy Note 10 clear view (S View) cover is for owners:

• who like S View features.
• who want to use a decent flip cover (both front and back).
• who need moderate protection for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.
• who are willing to pay $50 for a decent Galaxy Note 10 case.

Please note Galaxy Note 10 clear view (S View) cover works with wireless charging. It is not necessary to remove the cover when you charge the Galaxy Note 10 battery wirelessly.

Do you have any questions on using the Galaxy Note 10 clear view (S View) cover?

If you encounter any problems or have any questions on using the clear view (S view cover), you may let us know in the comment box below.

We will try to help you.

You can read online or download a PDF version of the official Galaxy Note 10 user manuals in your language here.

The post How to use Galaxy Note 10 Clear View cover (S View cover)? appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

If you are new to wireless charging or fast charging (quick charge), you may get confused about the charging options for Galaxy Note 10.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide starts with steps of charging the Galaxy Note 10 battery with USB cable charging and wireless charging. Then, it explains how to choose a proper wall charger and wireless charger for Galaxy Note 10. The typical charging time for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ was also discussed. Finally, some questions you may have on charging Galaxy Note 10 are answered.

As explained in this post, there are some differences, including battery capacity and Super Fast charging, between Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. So, in this post, sometimes Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ is singled out. In other cases, Galaxy Note 10 refers to both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

Two charging modes for Galaxy Note 10 battery

Since Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy Note devices support wireless charging natively (without using any mods).

So, for Galaxy Note 10, there are two charging modes (methods):

1. USB cable charging. Galaxy Note 10 battery can be charged through the USB-C port (see Galaxy Note 10 layout).
2. Wireless charging. You can put Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ on a Qi-certified wireless charging pad to charge the battery.

You should not confuse the wireless charging with the new Galaxy Note 10 feature of wireless PowerShare. Please refer to this guide on how to use wireless PowerShare to share Galaxy Note 10 battery with other devices.

Charge Galaxy Note 10 battery with USB cable charging

You may follow these steps to charge Galaxy Note 10 with USB cable charging.

Step 1: Connect the USB-C cable to Galaxy Note 10

As shown in the animation below, you can insert the USB cable connector into the USB-C (multipurpose) port at the bottom of Galaxy Note 10.

In the Galaxy Note 10 box, you can find the USB-C cable.

Step 2: Connect the other end of the USB cable to the wall charger (power adapter)

The wall charger in the Galaxy Note 10 box has a USB-C port. So, you should use the USB-C to USB-C cable in the box to charge Galaxy Note 10.

All previous Galaxy Note devices shipped a wall charger with a USB-A port. You should try not to use these chargers unless you still have the authentic Samsung (or other branded) USB-A to USB-C cable. Using a poor quality USB-A to USB-C cable without a proper resistor may fry your charger and cause a fire (we will explain it later. Read on).

Although Galaxy Note 10+ supports 45W super-fast charging, the wall charger in the Galaxy Note 10+ box (which is identical to that in the Galaxy Note 10 box) only supports 25W charging. If you want to try 45W super-fast charging (it is usually not necessary), you need to buy one from Samsung.

Step 3: Plug wall charger (power adapter) into an electric socket

Step 4: Wait till Galaxy Note 10 to be fully charged

Now, once the charging begins, you should try not to use the phone heavily (e.g., play CPU/GPU intensive games).

Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 1o Plus do not have the traditional notification LED (as explained in the missing features of Galaxy Note 10). So, you cannot know whether the battery is fully charged or not without checking the screen.

By default, when Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ is being charged, Samsung will display the charging status on the screen even if you turn off the always-on display (AOD).

Please note you should wait till the status of “charged.” 100%, which is an estimation, does not mean fully charged.

Step 5: Disconnect Galaxy Note 10 from the wall charger

If it is convenient, you can disconnect the phone from the charger after the Galaxy Note 10 is fully charged.

Leaving a fully charged Galaxy Note 10 on the charger will NOT cause any damage to the phone. It only creates a marginal strain on the battery (it is not good for the battery, but it will not cause any noticeable damage to the battery either). If you charge Galaxy Note 10 overnight, it is NOT necessary to get up in the wee hours to unplug the charger.

Step 6: Unplug the wall charger

The wall charger cannot power off itself. For safety reasons, you should unplug the wall charger if it is not in use.

Charge Galaxy Note 10 battery with wireless charging

You can also charge Galaxy Note 1o battery with any Qi-certified wireless charging pad.

Of course, it is recommended to use the official Samsung wireless charging pad,  like the Samsung wireless charger Duo Pad (2019), which supports fast wireless charging 2.0 (up to 10W).

As explained in this guide, fast wireless charging and fast wireless charging 2.0 are not industrial standards. They are minted by Samsung.

Normal wireless charging can charge up to 5W (as in Galaxy S6). The fast wireless charging used by Samsung can charge up to 7.5W (as in Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy Note 8, and Note 9). And the fast wireless charging 2.0 (introduced in Galaxy S10) can charge up to 10-15W.

Samsung does NOT include a wireless charging pad in the Galaxy Note 10 box. You need to buy one if you want to use wireless charging.

You may follow these steps to charge Galaxy Note 1o battery with wireless charging.

Step 1: Power on the wireless charging pad

Normally, a wireless charging pad is sold together with a wall charger or a power adapter.

You should use the bundled power adapter/wall charger to power the wireless charging pad.

Most wireless charging pads have one or more LEDs indicating the status of the charging pad.

Step 2: Place Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ in the wireless charging pad

For most wireless charging pad, the charging coils are near the center of the charging pad. You should place Galaxy Note 10 near this region as illustrated below.

As explained in the Galaxy Note 10 layout, the wireless charging coil is located near the center of the Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10 Plus).

Most Galaxy Note 10 cases or covers will not affect wireless charging unless it is too thick. All official Galaxy Note covers, including the Galaxy Note 10 clear view (S View) cover, LED view cover, LED back cover, leather back cover, and protective stand cover work with wireless charging without any issues.

Step 3: Wait till Galaxy Note 10 is fully charged

Similar to USB cable charging, you need to wait till the battery is fully charged.

As mentioned, most wireless charging pads have an LED indicator for charging status. For example, on Samsung wireless charging pads, red means charging, and green (blue) means charged.

Step 4: Remove Galaxy S10 from the wireless charging pad

Unlike USB-cable charging, wireless charging will stop once the battery is fully charged.

But it is a good habit to remove it from the charging pad when it is fully charged.

Step 6: Unplug the wall charger

Again, for safety reasons, you may want to cut off the power supply to the power adapter when the charging pad is not in use.

What are the compatible wall chargers for Galaxy Note 10?

Technically, you can use any branded USB charger to charge Galaxy Note 10.

But because Galaxy Note 10 can charge up to 25W and Galaxy Note 10+ up to 45W, you should be careful when using old wall chargers.

If the old wall charger has a USB-A port, you must use the original (or from the trusted brand) USB-A to USB-C cable. Such USB-A to USB-C cable needs a proper (56K Ohm) resistor and a few other components. Some bad cables may deceive Galaxy Note 10 to draw more current than the wall charger can provide (or the cable can handle). In this case, you may risk frying the wall charger (and causing a fire) and damaging the USB-C port on the phone as well.

The USB-A to USB-C cable for Galaxy Note 8 and Note 9 complies with the standard, and they are safe to use. But you can only charge Galaxy Note 10 at a maximum of 15W if you use a USB-A to USB-C cable.

If the old wall charger has a USB-C port, there are usually no issues because a USB-C to USB-C cable does not have such an issue.

Anyway, you can reuse all old USB chargers if you have some good (or Samsung original) USB-A to USB-C cables. The drawback is the charging rate will be limited to 15W.

If you plan to buy a spare wall charger, you may try to get one with a USB-C port.

Please note, to get the super-fast charging (25W), or super-fast charging 2.0 (45W), you should make sure:

• The charger must use the USB-C port.
• The charger must support USB PD (power delivery) 3.0.
• The charger must support PPS (Programmable Power Supply).

Most third-party 25-60W USB-C wall chargers in the market do NOT support PPS. Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ will not benefit from the high power output from these chargers. You should get a Samsung branded USB-C wall charger if you want to enjoy the super fast charging.

How to choose a wireless charger for Galaxy Note 10?

Although any Qi-certified wireless charger can be used for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, it is recommended to use a Samsung branded wireless charger to get the most efficient wireless charging.

Samsung released 3 types of wireless chargers (the explanations of these wireless charging, fast wireless charging, and fast wireless charging 2.0 can be found here) :

• Wireless charger (up to 5W). This is the Galaxy S6’s era wireless charger. Samsung discontinued it as a standalone product. Instead, in the wireless charging Duo series, one charging pad offers this type of wireless charging.
• Fast wireless charger (up to 7.5W).
• Fast wireless charger 2.0 (up to 15W). Samsung claims Galaxy Note 10 can draw up to 12W and Galaxy Note 1o Plus up to 15W. Normally, it is about 10W only.

Like other gadgets, the wireless charging pad is backward-compatible.

You can use a fast wireless charger 2.0 pad to charge your Galaxy Note 9. However, the phone’s maximum charging capacity (7.5w) will limit it.

You can also use a normal wireless charger to charge Galaxy Note 10. But the charging capacity will be limited by the wireless charger (5w).

For Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+, you may consider getting the latest wireless charging pad that supports fast wireless charging 2.0 (e.g., Samsung 15W fast wireless charging pad or Samsung wireless charger Duo Pad).

If you want to save part of your budget for other accessories, you can get a fast wireless charger (e.g., fast wireless charger duo pad 2018 version or fast wireless charging stand).

Typical charging time for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+

The charging time depends on many factors. The charger is only one of them. The ambient temperature and working load of the phone may also considerably affect the charging time.

We tested the typical charging time with different Samsung branded chargers:

• 45W super fast 2.0 wall charger.
• 25W super fast wall charger (as in Galaxy Note 10 box).
• 15W adaptive fast charger (bundled with Galaxy Note 9 and Note 8)
• 10W quick charger (bundled with Galaxy Note 3)
• Fast wireless charger 2.0.
• Fast wireless charger.
• Wireless charger.

The typical charging time (from 0% to fully charged) for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ is summarized in the following table.

As shown in the table, it is interesting to note:

• Although Galaxy Note 10 has a smaller battery than Galaxy Note 10+, the charging time (with the bundled 25W charger) for Galaxy Note 10 is significantly longer than that of Galaxy Note 10+ (94 minutes vs. 66 mins).
• Although Galaxy Note 10+ supports up to 45W charging, the official 45W wall charger can only cut the charging time by about 10 mins.
• The 45W charger can charge Galaxy Note 10 considerably faster than the 25W charger when the battery level is less than about 60%. The 45W charger takes about 22 mins to charge Galaxy Note 10+ from 0 to 50%. The 25W charger requires about 30mins.
• If you use a 15W adaptive fast charger or a 10W fast charger, the charging time for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ is very close.
• If you use an old wireless charger, Galaxy Note 10 may charge slightly faster than Galaxy Note 10+.

Anyway, these are just indicative numbers. Your mileage may vary.

How long should you charge Galaxy Note 10 or Galaxy Note 10 Plus for the first time?

For today’s smartphone battery, the first charging is NOT important.

You just need to charge the battery to full.

Actually, you can use Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ out of the box. When leaving the factory, Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ were charged to about 50% (which is the ideal capacity for long-term storage).

Should you “top up” Galaxy Noto 10 battery?

No, it is not necessary to “top up” the Galaxy Note battery to keep it at a certain level.

It may create unnecessary strain on the battery, and therefore, it may affect the lifespan of the battery.

You should charge the Galaxy Note 10 battery only when you need to do so. If you know the battery can last till you can access a charger and you have to charge it then you should not charge it now.

Of course, do NOT often drain up the completely (i.e., until the phone shuts down by itself).  If you drain the battery completely very often, it may damage the battery and the phone as well.

How to turn off fast cable charging and fast wireless charging on Galaxy Note 10?

First, fast charging and fast wireless charging do NOT affect the phone battery if you use the branded or bundled chargers.

The only downside of fast wireless charging is the fan noise from the charging pad. All fast wireless charging pads need a fan for active ventilation. The noise can be annoying in the night.

Anyway, here is the recommendation:

• There is no reason to disable fast cable charging on Galaxy Note 10 or Galaxy Note 10 Plus.
• If the fan noise of the fast wireless charging pad is an issue, you can disable fast wireless charging.

To disable fast cable charging and fast wireless charging, you can do it in Settings– Device Care.

As shown in the screenshot below, on the Device Care page, tap Battery.

On the battery page, tap the menu key (3 vertical dots) as shown above.

From the battery settings menu, tap Settings, as shown below.

Now, you can enable or disable fast cable charging and fast wireless charging, as shown above.

Please note you can disable them only when you are not using them. If you are using the fast cable charging, then you need to disconnect the charger. Once the phone is disconnected from the fast charger, you can disable fast cable charging.

The fast wireless charging option appears only after you connect the phone to a fast wireless charger once.  If you cannot see the fast wireless charging option, it means your phone has never connected to a fast wireless charger.

FYI, you can also disable Galaxy Note 10 fast wireless charging in Settings — Advanced features —Accessories —Fast wireless charging.

How to extend the lifespan of Galaxy Note 10 battery?

There are many tips on the Internet on how to extend the lifespan of a Galaxy Note 10 battery.  However, most of them are outdated or just BS.

Here are some principles to properly maintain the Galaxy Note 10 battery:

1. Use your phone.  You get the best value only when the phone improves your productivity or makes you happy.  If you limit phone usage to save battery life, you are wasting money. Of course, if you are wasting time on the phone, you are wasting (not using) the phone.
2. The phone battery has a lifespan of about 2-5 years, even you do not use it. For heavy users (e.g., charge the battery more than two times a day), you may have to replace the battery after 12-18 months. For most users, the battery should last at least 28-24 months.
3. Charge the battery only if you need to do so. You need to predicate and estimate your usage to see whether you can charge it later.
4. If it is convenient, disconnect the phone from the wall charger once it is fully charged.  As mentioned earlier, it is OK to leave the phone on the charger overnight. You should disconnect it only if it is convenient to do so.
5. Do not often discharge the battery completely. If you often let the phone power off by itself due to an empty battery, you may damage the battery AND the phone.
6. Use high-quality chargers and cables.  If you are not sure, get a Samsung one. Low-quality chargers and cables may damage your Galaxy Note 10 and may cause a fire.

How to show battery percentage on the Galaxy Note 10 status bar?

By default, Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ only show a battery icon on the status bar.

If you want to show the percentage of the battery level, you can enable it.

In Galaxy Note 10 Settings, tap Notifications.

In the Notifications page, tap status bar as shown below.

As shown in the screenshot above, you can enable or disable Show battery percentage.

How to use wireless PowerShare on Galaxy Note 10 to charge other devices?

The wireless PowerShare feature on the Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+) is similar to that on the Galaxy S10.

You may check this guide on how to use wireless PowerShare to charge other devices.

The post How to charge Galaxy Note 10 battery? appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

So, many Galaxy Note 10 owners are a bit confused about the new Side key. It is in the location of the Bixby key, but it functions mainly as the Power key (with some differences).

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains the functions and usage of the Side key and shows you how to customize (remap) the Side key on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. Questions on how to power on, power off, and reboot Galaxy Note 10, as well as Galaxy Note 10 recovery mode and the safe mode, are also covered.

Although Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ differs as explained in this post, the Side key on both phones are identical.

Where is the Power button on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy  Note 10+?

Samsung used to place the Power key (Power button) on the right side of the phone.

But as illustrated in the Galaxy Note 10 layout, there is no button on the right side of Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+.

Samsung actually moved the Power key to the left side and replaced the unpopular Bixby key. And they named it the Side key. This is one of the new features of Galaxy Note 10.

Of course, Samsung did not give up Bixby. They added one Bixby feature into the new Side key. For Bixby-haters, you can remove this Bixby feature (read on) and restore the Side key as the traditional Power key.

Functions of Galaxy Note 10 Side key

As mentioned, the Side key is a combination of the Power key and the Bixby key.

By default, the side key has the following functions:

• When the phone is off, you can press and hold the Side key to power on Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+.
• When the phone is off, you can hold Side key and volume up key to reboot Galaxy Note 10 into recovery mode.
• When the phone is on, you can press the Side key once (one time) to lock the phone or wake up the screen.
• When the phone is on, you can quickly press the Side key twice (two times) to launch the Camera app (Camera Quick launch).
• When the phone is on, you can press and hold the Side key to wake up Bixby.
• When the phone is on, you can press and hold the Side key and Volume down key simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to power off Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.
• When the phone is on, you can press and hold the Side key and Volume down key simultaneously for less than 2 seconds to take a screenshot.
• When the phone is on, you can press and hold the Side key and Volume down key simultaneously for longer than 2 seconds but shorter than 7 seconds to get the Power button options menu.  You can also access the power button options menu in the quick settings panel (and notification panel).

You may notice it is very tricky to use Side key with the volume down key.

Anyway, Samsung allows you to customize (remap) the double press and long press options.

How to customize (remap) Galaxy Note 10 side key?

Like the Bixby button after the Android Pie update in previous Galaxy phones, Samsung allows you to customize or remap the side key on Galaxy Note 10.

On Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, you can remap the double press and long press functions for the side key.

In Galaxy Note 10 settings, as shown below, tap Advanced features.

In the Advanced Features page, tap Side key, as shown in the screenshot above.

It should bring you to the Side key settings page, as shown below.

As mentioned, you can customize or remap two functions (gestures) of the Side key:

• Double press.
• Press and hold (long press)

For the double press, you can use it to:

• (default) Launch the camera (camera quick launch).
• Open Bixby.
• Open any apps. You can tap the gear icon to choose any apps on the phone.

For the press and hold (long press), you can use it to:

• Wake Bixby.
• Access the Power button options menu.

For the double press function, you can also disable it if you want.

As shown above, you can disable the double press function of the Side key.

How to access the Power button options menu on Galaxy Note 10?

As mentioned above, you can access the Power button options menu on Galaxy Note 10 in two ways:

1. Press and hold the Side key and Volume down key simultaneously for longer than 2 seconds but shorter than 7 seconds.
2. Use the button in the notifications panel/quick settings panel as shown below.

Of course, you can also remap the long press (press and hold) function to the Power button options menu as mentioned above.

How to power off  Galaxy Note 10?

You can tap the Power off button in the Power button options menu as shown above to power off Galaxy Note 10.

If Galaxy Note 1o is not responsive and you cannot access the Power button options menu, you can hold the Side key and Volume down key simultaneously until it reboots.

How to restart (reboot) Galaxy Note 10 when the phone is not responsive?

You can use the Power button options to reboot Galaxy Note 10.

But if the phone is not responsive, you have to hold the Side key and Volume down key simultaneously for more than 7 seconds. This is a hardwired feature and it should always work unless there are some hardware issues in related components.

How to reboot into Galaxy Note 10 recovery mode?

Like in other Android phones, you can use the Galaxy Note 10 recovery mode to clear the cache partition, to reboot into the bootloader (download mode), to apply updates from SD card, to factory reset the phone, or to change carrier code (CSC).

To reboot into Galaxy Note 10 recovery mode, you need to power off the phone first.

When the phone is off, you need to press and hold Volume up and the Side key concurrently until you see the droid.

How to reboot into Galaxy Note 10 safe mode?

You can use Galaxy Note 10 safe mode to identify certain problems are caused by third-party apps or by the firmware.

The post How to use and remap Galaxy Note 10 Side key? appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

With some new features of Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+,  like a zoom-in microphone, in-display fingerprint reader, and the new Side key (power button),  even a seasoned Galaxy Note owner may get a bit confused on some parts of the Galaxy Note 10.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide details the layout of both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. All parts, ports, and buttons (keys) and their usage are explained as well.

Although the size of Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ are substantially different, the layout of the two phones is almost identical except one missing rear camera on Galaxy Note 10. So, in this post, after highlighting this difference, we will not differentiate between Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

What are the differences between the layout of Galaxy Note 10 and the layout of Galaxy Note 10+

As explained in this guide, there are some differences between Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. For example, the Galaxy Note 10 is smaller. There is no micro SD card support on Galaxy Note 10. The screen resolution of Galaxy Note 10 is only up to 1080p.

But if you look outside of the two phones, you may notice the main difference (actually, the only difference except the dimensions and weight) is the rear camera module.

As shown below, the Galaxy Note 10 has one additional camera. Samsung labeled it as a DepthVision camera, which includes a camera lens and an infrared sensor.

Galaxy Note 10 layout explained

As shown in the illustration below, from the front view of Galaxy Note 10, you can find:

1. Touch screen

More than 90% of the front of the Galaxy Note 10 is occupied by the dynamic OLED screen.

Please note, in most regions, a plastic screen protector was pasted on the screen because most tempered glass screen protectors do NOT work with the in-display fingerprint sensor.

2. Edge screen on Galaxy Note 10 layout

The edge screen is NOT a separate part. It refers to the curved parts on both sides of the touchscreen.

Samsung added some quick tools, including edge panel and edge lighting features, to the Edge screen.

You may check this guide on how to use the Edge screen on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy S10.

3. Fingerprint sensor (under the display)

As mentioned in the top 10 new features of Galaxy Note 10, Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+) uses an in-display fingerprint sensor, which was first introduced in Galaxy S10 and S10+ (not S10e).

Although it sounds great, it is harder to use compared to the traditional capacitive fingerprint reader (see top 10 missing features of Galaxy Note 10).

You need to familiarize yourself with the location of the fingerprint sensor. When the screen wakes up, it does show an icon on the location.

You may check this guide on how to use the in-display fingerprint sensor.

4. The selfie camera on Galaxy Note 10 layout

The cutout for the front camera on the Galaxy Note 10 is not as excessive as that on the Galaxy S10.

If you really do not like the punched hole, you can use the virtual bezel (black bar) to hide the top part as explained here.

5. Earpiece/speaker (front)

When on a call, the sound should come out from here.

6. Proximity/light senor (under the display)

The proximity sensor detects where something is close to the phone. For example, when you pick up a call and move the phone to your ear, the screen will be off automatically (to avoid inadvertent touches). When you put down the phone,  the screen will be on automatically.

The light sensor detects the lighting conditions. Galaxy Note 10 may adjust the screen brightness automatically based on the info from the light sensor.

7. SIM card tray

For Galaxy Note 10, the SIM card tray is for holding SIM cards (nano-SIM) only.

For the single SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, slot one is for a SIM card, and slot 2 is for a micro SD card. For the dual SIM version of Galaxy Note 10+, slot one is for SIM cards only, and slot two can be used to hold a SIM card OR a micro SD card (but not both concurrently). Please check the Galaxy Note 10 SIM card guide for details.

You should always use the ejection pin in the Galaxy Note 10 box to eject the tray.

8. Volume key on Galaxy Note 10 layout

In addition to adjusting the volume, the volume key (volume button) has many other functions/usages on Galaxy Note 10, for example:

• Take photos in the Camera app.
• Zoom in/out in some apps.
• Reboot the phone into recovery mode to clear the cache partition.
• Reboot the phone into safe mode to check whether a problem is caused by third-party apps.
• Access the power menu.
• Take a screenshot (with the Side key).

Remember, although the volume key appears as one key, it is often referred to as two keys: volume down (bottom part) and volume up (top part)

9. Side key

The Side key takes the location of the old Bixby key. But it is a modified Power key (Power button).

By default, you can:

• Press once to wake up or turn off the screen.
• Press twice to launch the camera app (camera Quick launch).
• Press and hold to wake Bixby.

Of course, you can remap the double press and long press to other functions.

Please check this guide on how to use and customize the Side key (power button).

10. USB-C port

Samsung started to switch to USB-C (from micro USB) in Galaxy Note 7.

As Samsung removed the headphone jack from Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, you have to use a USB-C earphone or a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle if you want to use a wired headset.

The USB-C port is truly a multi-purpose jack. For example,

• You can connect a charger to this port to charge the Galaxy Note 10 battery.
• You can directly connect USB-C accessories, including USB-C headsets.
• You can connect Galaxy Note 10 to a Windows 10 PC through this USB-C port to use Samsung DeX for PC.
• You can connect a USB connector (included in the Galaxy Note 10 box) here and then attach other devices or accessories.
• You can connect the phone to a monitor with a USB-C to HDMI dongle (or a DeX cable) to use Samsung DeX. Of course, you can also connect Galaxy Note 10 to a DeX Pad or a DeX Station to use Samsung DeX.

Please note that you should only use quality USB-C cables like the one included in your Galaxy Note 10 box. A  $5 poor-quality USB-C cable may damage your $1000 Galaxy Note.

11. S Pen and S Pen slot

S Pen is the signature feature of Galaxy Note devices.

Galaxy Note 10 S Pen added the gesture support. You may check this guide on how to use the new S Pen on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

Please note the Galaxy Note 10 S Pen needs about 10 mins to charge (instead of 45 seconds for the Galaxy Note 9 S Pen)  due to the real battery inside the Galaxy Note 10 S  Pen.  The S Pen will be charged automatically when you put it in the slot.

The S Pen slot is for Galaxy Note 10 S Pen only. You should NEVER insert other S Pens into the slot.  Similarly, you should NEVER insert the Galaxy Note 10 S Pen into other Galaxy Note devices. The dimensions of S Pens for different Galaxy Note devices are different.

Looking from the back,  as shown below, you can find:

12. Rear camera module on Galaxy Note 10 layout

Galaxy Note 10 has three rear cameras, while Galaxy Note 10+ has 4.

As explained in this post, the missing camera in Galaxy Note 10 is the DepthVision camera (and the infrared sensor).

You should remove the protective film from the lens after getting the phone. If the lens becomes dirty, the camera app will warn you.

Please check Galaxy Note 10 camera guides on using the cameras.

13. LED flash

Normally, you should avoid using flash for photos.

The new Night camera mode can be used without firing the flash.

Please note the LED flash can be used as a torch. You can find the Flashlight button in quick settings.

14. NFC/MST antenna and wireless charging coil (beneath the back cover)

Galaxy Note 10 NFC antenna and wireless charging coils are near the center of the phone.

You need to tap this area for any NFC readers when you want to use NFC.

When using wireless charging to charge Galaxy Note 10 battery, you should try to put this part near the charging coils (usually near the center) in the wireless charging pad.

Also, if you want to use Galaxy Note 10 wireless PowerShare to charge other devices with Galaxy Note 10 battery, you need to put other devices close to this region.

MST (Magnetic secure transmission) is mainly used by Samsung Pay on the traditional credit card terminal (where you need to swipe the card).

Please note some thick cases or covers may affect NFC and wireless charging. All official Samsung Galaxy Note 10 cases work with the BFC/MST antenna and wireless charging coil without issues.

15. Main antenna (beneath the back cover)

Mobile, WiFi, and Bluetooth antennas are located near the bottom (beneath the back cover).

You should NOT block this area with metals.

16. GPS antenna (beneath the back cover)

The GPS antenna is needed to get the precise location of the phone.

17.  Microphone (top)

Sometimes, this microphone is referred to as the secondary microphone or noise-canceling microphone. When you are on a call, by default, the microphone in the bottom is the “main” one, and this top microphone will be used to sample ambient sound for noise canceling.

In fact, both this top and the bottom microphone can work interchangeably.  When you use the Voice Recorder app, you assign different microphones for different roles.

18. Speaker (top)

Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+, of course) has two stereo speakers: one at the top and the other at the bottom. This hole is actually the vent for the speaker.

Please do not confuse this with the zoom-in microphone.

19. Speaker (bottom)

This is a normal speaker which can be found in almost all smartphones.

20. microphone (bottom)

Sometimes, this microphone is called the main microphone.

21. Zoom-in microphone on Galaxy Note 10 layout

Galaxy Note 10 introduced the zoom-in microphone for video recording as one of the main new features.

The zoom-in microphone can automatically amplify the sound from the object detected. You can disable it by tapping the icon when it appears.

Because the zoom-in microphone always focuses on the object detected by the camera, it is placed close to the camera lens, as shown in the illustration below.

Many reviewers and owners mistakenly recognized the top speaker as the zoom-in microphone, as explained in this guide.

Do you have any questions on Galaxy Note 10 layout? Do you understand the function of each part and buttons on Galaxy Note 10?

The post Galaxy Note 10 Layout appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

This post shows you the exact location of the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

As explained in the top 10 new features of Galaxy Note 10, the zoom-in mic is one of the most interesting features you should try.

Zoom-in mic is not an invention of Samsung. HTC adopted a similar Sonic zoom in HTC U12+ in 2018. LG has implemented the similar feature of  “audio zoom”  since LG G2 in 2013.

But Galaxy Note 10 is the first Samsung phone with such a microphone.

Please note, although there are some differences between Galaxy Note 1o and Galaxy Note 10+, the zoom-in mic feature is identical on both phones. The location of the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are also identical.

So, where is the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10?

Do not confuse the top speaker with the zoom-in mic

Some reviewers pointed the finger to the top speaker vent hole as shown below. They thought this is the new zoom-in microphone.

But it is totally wrong!

As explained in the Galaxy Note 10 layout, the big hole in the top of Galaxy Note 10 is actually the vent of the second speaker.

Right to the top speaker, there is a microphone.

But this is a normal microphone, which is usually used for noise canceling when you are engaged in a call.  When you using the voice recorder in the interview mode, this microphone will focus on the interviewee.

Left to the speaker, it is the normal SIM card tray.

Of course, on the bottom, there is another speaker. But this one is similar to the top one.

So, where does Samsung hide the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10?

Location of the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+

It turns out the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+) is hidden beside (under the small notch) the telephote camera,  as shown below.

The location of the zoom-in mic actually is well-designed.

By hiding the mic next to the camera lens, it can be guaranteed that it will be focused on the right direction when you record a video with the zoom-in mic.

For the detailed usage guide of the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10, you may check this guide (coming soon).

On Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra, Samsung moved the zoom-in mic next to the LED flash as explained in Galaxy S20 layout.

Do you know the location of the zoom-in microphone on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ now?

The post Official Samsung Galaxy Note 10 User Manual appeared first on Galaxy Note Tips & Tricks.

This post explains the 11 items in the Galaxy Note 10 box and their usage so that you can get the full benefits of the purchase.

If you want to know the Galaxy Note 10 new features, missing features, or check our Galaxy Note 10 review, please follow the links individually. We will not discuss them here.

When checking the contents in Galaxy Note 10 box, please bear in mind the following:

• The contents in the Galaxy Note 10 box and Galaxy Note 10+ box are identical except for the phone.  In this post, Galaxy Note 10 refers to both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.
• The contents may vary from region to region. In some regions, Samsung may add some promotional items.
• In some regions, Samsung does not offer a 1-to-1 exchange. You should check the phone and other contents in the box carefully when they handle the box for you.

Also, it is important to read the get started guide in the box before using Galaxy Note 10.

Contents in Galaxy Note 10 Box

In most regions,  besides the get started guide, safety guide, and some leaflets,  the following 11 items are included in the Galaxy Note 10 box, as shown in the picture below.:

1. The phone.
2. S Pen
3. USB-C headset
4. 25w Wall charger (travel adapter)
5. USB-C cable
6. S Pen spare nibs
7. S Pen nib removal tool (tweezers)
8. SIM card tray ejection pin
9. USB connector
10. Clear back cover
11. Screen protector (not shown in the picture).

You may check with the salesperson if any of the items are not present.

Understand the contents in the Galaxy Note 10 box and their usage

Now, let’s go through these 11 items one by one.

1. The phone: the most valuable item in the Galaxy Note 10 box

Of course, the phone (Galaxy Note 1o or Galaxy Note 10+) is the most important item.

By default, the battery level of a new phone is about 50%. So, it is enough for you to check and test Galaxy Note 10 on the spot.

In some regions, Samsung only offers repair services (no 1-to-1 exchange) once you take the phone home.  If this is the case, you should check:

• The body (cracks, dents, scratches).
• The screen (e.g., whether there are any dead pixels, whether the brightness level works properly, whether the color looks vivid)
• Buttons (volume key, Side/Power/Bixby key).
• Camera.

Please note in most regions, a plastic screen protector is pasted on the screen. It is not necessary to remove it. Since Galaxy S10, Samsung has adopted the in-display ultrasonic fingerprint reader, so most tempered glass screen protectors may NOT work with Galaxy Note 1o or Galaxy Note 10+.

You may check the Galaxy Note 10 layout page to get to know each part and its functions.

2. S Pen

When unboxing, S Pen should be placed in the S Pen slot on the phone.

The S Pen should work out of the box. It should be paired with Galaxy Note 10 automatically.

You may check this guide on using Galaxy Note 1o S Spen.

3. USB-C headset

In the Galaxy Note 10 box, there is no USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter. This means you cannot use your existing wired headphones on Galaxy Note 10 unless you get a USB-C to 3.5mm dongle.

Remember, neither Galaxy Note 10 nor Galaxy Note 10 has the 3.5mm headphone jack, as explained here.

Instead, there is an AKG-branded USB-C headset in the box.

When purchasing a USB-C to 3.5mm audio adapter, you should be very careful about the quality and brand.

4. 25w Wall charger (travel adapter)

Although Galaxy Note 10+ supports 45W superfast charging, you can only find a 25W wall charger in the box.

Of course, it is usually good enough for most owners.

You can also use your old USB chargers.  But the charging speed will be a bit slower.

You should avoid third-party 45W wall chargers. Some USB PD (power delivery)  3.0 (or 2.0) compatible wall chargers may claim 45W charging capacity, but Galaxy Note 10+ may not work properly with them because of the requirements of PPS. You may end up charging at 15W or even lower speeds.

Please also note the USB port on the 25W wall charger is USB-C, not USB-A (which is bigger) as in previous generations. You need to use a USB-C cable (USB-C to USB-C), which is included in the box.

Both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ support wireless charging. But a wireless charging pad is not included in the box.

You may check this guide on how to charge Galaxy Note 10 (and Galaxy Note 10+) and how to choose a wall charger and wireless charger for Galaxy Note 10.

5. USB-C cable

In the Galaxy Note 10 box, the USB cable is USB-C to USB-C, not the traditional USB-C to USB-A.

If you have an old PC or laptop without USB-C ports, you should keep your old USB-A to USB-C cable if you need to connect the phone to the PC.

You can use the USB-C cable to connect Galaxy Note 10 to your PC/laptop and then use Samsung DeX for PC immediately.

6. S Pen spare nibs

Do not throw anything in the box before you check them carefully.

The spare nibs (tip) for S Pen together with the tweezer, can be found in the small plastic bag.

You may follow this guide to replace the S Pen tip.

7. S Pen nib removal tool (tweezers)

When you try to replace the S Pen tip, you should use tweezers.

8. SIM card tray ejection pin

You need to insert the pin into the hold of the SIM card tray and press it a bit to eject the SIM card tray so that you can place your SIM card.

You should check the Galaxy Note 10 layout page to find the location of the hole, and do not pierce the microphones on the top.

For Galaxy Note 10+, a micro SD card slot is also on the SIM card tray. Slot 1 in the tray is for SIM cards only. Slot 2 can be used for either a SIM card or a micro SD card (not both). You may check this guide on how to use a SIM card tray on Galaxy Note 10.

As explained on this page, Galaxy Note 10 does not support a micro SD card.

9. USB connector

The USB connector is for you to connect other USB devices to Galaxy Note 10.  For example, you can migrate data, apps, and files from the old phone to Galaxy Note 10 by connecting them directly, as explained on this page.

You can also connect an old USB flash drive or USB portable drive (without a USB-C port/connector) for Galaxy S9/S10, as explained here.

The male side (USB-C) should be inserted into the Galaxy Note 10 USB-C port. You can insert USB devices (or USB cable) into the female side (USB-A).

10. Clear back cover: the most practical gadget in the Galaxy Note 10 box

In most regions, Samsung includes a transparent back cover in the Galaxy Note box.

You can use it temporarily before you get your desired cover/case. Some owners like me need a case so that the phone can be held naturally.

The quality of the cover is not so bad. But it does not provide much shock/impact protection.

Anyway, if you want, you can get other cases/covers for Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+. For example, Samsung offers the Galaxy Note 10 Clear view (S View) cover, LED view cover, LED back cover, and many more.

11. Screen protector (not shown in the picture).

As mentioned above, since the Galaxy S10, Samsung pastes a plastic screen protector on the phone.

In all regions,  as I know, Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ are pasted with such a screen protector.

Unless you are sure you do not need the screen protector, you should keep it on. Many tempered glass screen protectors do not work well with the in-display fingerprint reader.

Of course, some owners may feel the screen protector is too sticky for the S Pen. In this case, you can try a different (different color) S Pen nib.

This Galaxy Note 10 S Pen guide explains everything you need to know about the new S Pen: the layout and new features of the S Pen,  how to use S Pen features including Air actions, remote control, Air command, Air View, screen off memo, and how to customize the S Pen settings on Galaxy Note 10.

The S Pen (and S Pen features)  is identical on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, although the two phones are quite different as explained in this post.  So, this guide applies to both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. In this post, Galaxy Note 10 refers to both devices.

Layout of the new S Pen on Galaxy Note 10

As shown below, the layout of the new S Pen includes:

• S Pen release button. You need to push the release button inwards to release the S Pen from the S Pen slot. Please note, you need to put the S Pen back into the slot to charge it.
• S Pen button. You need to press this button to access some features, for example, remote control, Air command,  and Air view.
• S Pen tip. The tip is replaceable. In the Galaxy Note 10 box, there is a tool (tweezers) and spare tips. You may refer to this guide on how to replace the S Pen tip (identical to that for Galaxy Note 9 S Pen).
• S Pen body. The new S Pen used the unibody design. The battery and sensors are sealed inside the S Pen body.

Both the S Pen and Galaxy Note 10 are water-resistant and dust-resistant.

Although the layout of the S Pen is almost identical to that of the Galaxy Note 9 S Pen, there are some new features of this new S Pen.

What are the new features of Galaxy Note 10 S Pen?

Since Galaxy Note 9, S Pen has been Bluetooth LE -enabled. The new S Pen on Galaxy Note 10 added:

1. A 6-axis (gyroscope and accelerometer) sensor. So the S Pen can sense the motion and orientation of the pen itself.
2. A 350uAh lithium-titanate battery.  The battery can last up to 10 hours. While Galaxy Note 9 S Pen uses supercapacitors, which can last less than 45mins.

Due to the 6-axis sensor, the S Pen now can be used for Air actions (read on).

It takes about 10 mins to fully charge the S Pen.

How to use Air actions with Galaxy Noe 10 S Pen?

Air actions, introduced in Galaxy Note 10, allows you to use gestures to control some functions of supported apps.

To use Air actions, you need to hover the S Pen over the screen, press the S Pen button, then swipe up/down/right-left, or rotate to access and control the features of the supported apps.

For example, as shown in the tablet below, you use the gestures to control the camera app, media app, or Gallery app.

You can also use Air actions with some other apps.

You can also customize the air actions in Settings —Advanced features —S Pen—Air actions.

How to use the S Pen remote functions on Galaxy Note 10?

You can use the S Pen remote functions to control some apps remotely through a Bluetooth connection. This feature was introduced in Galaxy Note 9.

The app actions corresponding to the single press (press the S Pen button once) and double press (press the S Pen button twice) can also be customized in Settings —Advanced features — S Pen — S Pen remote.

For example, the table below illustrates the default S Pen remote functions in Samsung Notes app, media app (e.g., Samsung music), and Internet app (Samsung browser).

Again, you can use S Pen remote in some other supported apps as well.

Please refer to this guide on the details on how to use S Pen remote functions.

How to use Air command on Galaxy Note 10?

• Translate. You can hover the S Pen over a word to see the translation and listen to its pronunciation.
• Penup. You can draw, color and edit drawings with the S Pen, then share live drawings.
• Add shortcuts. You can add other apps to the air command.

How to use S Pen to write screen-off memos?

When the Galaxy Note 10 screen is off, you can pull out of the S Pen and write a memo on the screen without waking up the screen.

The memo will be saved in Samsung Notes, not under S Note app anymore.

Air view lets you interact with Galaxy Note 10 without having to touch the display. You can simply hover your finger or the S Pen over the specific area of content you are interested in.

This feature was first introduced in Galaxy Note II. But it is no longer unique to Galaxy Note devices. Since the Galaxy S4, most Galaxy devices also have this air view feature.

On Galaxy Note 10, by default, the following Air view features are available:

• Preview an email message before opening it.
• Preview the contents of a photo album or enlarge a picture.
• Preview a video and navigate to a specific scene by hovering over the timeline.

• Feedback. You can set sound and vibration feedback when S Pen is detached, attached, or when S Pen is writing on the screen.

How to replace the S Pen tip?

As mentioned earlier, the S Pen tip (nib) is replaceable.  You may replace it by yourself if you feel:

• The S Pen nib is worn out.

• The S Pen nib is too slippery.

In the Galaxy Note 10 box, you can find the tweezers and spare nibs.

Please refer to this guide to replace the S Pen tip for Galaxy Note 10.

How to charge the Galaxy Note 10 S Pen?

The charging time for the  S Pen is about 10 mins. It can last about 10 hours.

You cannot use a wireless charging pad to charge the S Pen.

Can I use two S Pens on one Galaxy Note 10?

Yes, and no.

Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ do allow you to use spare S Pens. In other words, you can pair two S Pens with one phone.

But you cannot use both simultaneously.  You can use one at any time.

Please note, the dimensions of the Pen for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ are identical. But they are different from the S Pen on Galaxy Note 9 or other older Note devices.

How to pair S Pen with the phone?

You can pair the S Pen with Galaxy Note 10 by inserting it into the S Pen slot. It may take up to one minute to pair.

When S Pen is working properly or is inserted into the S Pen slot properly, there should be no S Pen related icons.

If you pull out of the S Pen or S Pen is not detected, you will see some S Pen icons in the status bar (or notification panel).

As shown below, the meaning of the S Pen icons:

1. Connected. The S Pen works properly.
2. Disconnected or not detected. There is no S Penb detected in range.
3. Battery level.
4. Connecting.

Can I use the S Pen if the battery runs out?

If the battery runs out, you can still use the S Pen on Galaxy Note 10.

But you cannot use any Bluetooth related features like S Pen remote and Air actions.

Can I use the S Pen for old Galaxy Note devices on Galaxy Note 10?

Yes, but there are some limitations.

S Pen on Galaxy Note devices prior to Galaxy Note 9 does not have Bluetooth capabilities.  So, you cannot use S Pen remote and Air actions features on Galaxy Note 10 with these S Pens.

The S Pen on Galaxy Note 9 does have Bluetooth capability. But it does not have the 6-axial sensors. So, you cannot use Air actions with such an S Pen.

Please note, you should never insert S Pens for other devices into the S Pen slot on Galaxy Note 10. It will damage the slot. The dimensions of the S Pens (and the S Pen slot) for different devices are different.

Can I use the new S Pen for Galaxy Note 10 on other devices or older Galaxy Note devices?

S Pen mainly works on Galaxy Note devices and some Galaxy Tab S and Tab A devices. It will not work on normal smartphones. For example, you cannot use S Pen on Galaxy S10.

You can use the new S Pen on older Galaxy Note devices. But as mentioned, you will not get Air action features on all of these devices. On Galaxy Note 8 and older devices, S Pen remote features are not available.

Again, you should never put the new S Pen into the S Pen slot on other devices.
