When you go into LCD Test (*#0*#), I notice that the brightness is not really all that uniform on the display. If I bring the device close to my face I see the brightness as same and when I extend the phone further away from I can see a little difference of brightness (very minute difference; extremely hard to tell unless you play with the different brightness modes). To appreciate the difference you need to squint your eyes. Am I trying to be too nit-picky?
Okay, my eyes are playing with me; just washed my eyes and everything looks normal, what AMOLED should look like, early mornings, lol :silly:

yeah seems you're trying really hard to find any imperfections. "extremely hard to tell, play with brightness modes, squint eyes etc"
should i do this under a full moon or candle light?
i usually stay away from these threads but just found all the conditions you mentioned funny. just use your phone under normal conditions. i havent noticed a single flaw... cause im not looking & digging for them.
you have three threds open discussing screens, mura & audio problems... seems like maybe you're trying to convince yourself or others about something?
EDIT: Four threads.... Refurbished phone
Perhaps, I know I paid too much, and finding flaw's like these shouldn't be so easy. I mean, I've been through '3' Note 2 already, currently on my 3rd Note 2, and am I trying to mend my relationship with the Samsung Company, especially after facing more or less similar experiences on the S2 and Note 1. I know my AMOLED display is fine, but physical things like chrome-paint finish, and elevated home button are things I really hoped Samsung would improve their quality-control on; pretty soon, they will loose business as a result of this. I made threads not only to share my insight, but to also have an open discussion about everything I have come across with the Note 2. Not surprising, many have seemed to confirm the same things that I see. So, I'm just joining the bandwagon and moving along. :good:
I think I'm going blind because im very satisfied with screen on my note or maybe I'm not that picky. I be happy if it last next 2-3 years or until my next impuls buy.

Hi V30 fans.
I got my V30+ 2 weeks ago and love this phone.
However there were a few things nobody ever mentions in their review like the great vibration motor, the sharp edges at the bottom or the plastic feel of the screen.
That's why I made my own consumer review of the V30. You can watch it here:
https://youtu.be/1Eejb64Cwy8
Did you notice similar flaws with your V30 and how much did they bother you? Cheers
I put a case on my phone, so no sharp edges on mine or my wife's.

it doesn't really bother me it's just someting i noticed when I first touched the device but maybe other V30 phones don't have sharp edges. I use a popsocket.
Just a different question: When I set DND to only priority some app notifications like tinder show up even though I did't activate it. Any thoughts?
What bothers me the most is front facing camera, it's hideous, sooooo crappy, my 3 year old htc m9 had a better camera. Other than that I'm super happy with everything this phone has to offer

Really no LED? This is going backwards in time, back to my N6 that had to be rooted to get the notification LED working. This actually might be a deal breaker, leaving me with my HTC 10 until something else with a decent DAC comes onto the market.

Do you use peek? I generally find it distracting, whereas the LED tells me what I was being notified about by color.
Well at least I have a good reason to hold off on upgrading for a few more months now. In any case I'm grateful you mentioned it!

That's peek - peeks your notifications. At least on other/older phones, the screen turns on when you get a notification and again when it senses motion. I understand the V30's display just stays on all the time.

I guess the thing is that it was the one thing I was most worried about and, while I miss it, I don't miss it as much as I thought I would.
Alright, first thing I want to clear up is this:
Plastic OLED does NOT mean the display is actually plastic. You CANNOT tell by touching it. You can tell the difference by touching the S8 and the V30? Both are glass! LOL.. Also, AMOLED is what Samsung calls its OLED displays. There's no LG AMOLED panel. So its not "plastic AMOLED", its just p-OLED.
Now, for the most important part about this topic, all recent OLED panels that have any kind of flexibility/curve are ALL plastic substrate OLED panels. Including the AMOLED panels on the recent Samsung S and Note devices. LG calls it pOLED (stupid choice for a name tbh, it causes this exact sort of misunderstanding!). So, the "plastic" just refers to the plastic substrate layer instead of the glass substrate layer used on OLEDs prior to the flexible displays. It's under the glass and digitizer, its part of the actual display panel, so there's no way you can tell the difference by touching or looking at it.
I agree about the sharp edges on the USB port, SIM tray cutout and headphone jack, it's one of the first things I noticed. Not an issue really, but feels like someone forgot to grind the edges down.
The speaker is plenty loud for notifications or the occasional Youtube video for me. I NEVER play music on a phone speaker and if I'm going to watch something, I almost always use my earphones. So, personally, it's a non-issue as long as I don't miss notifications.
Good review overall mate, just make sure you do the necessary research (doesn't take more than a few mins) and avoid making assumptions. Cheers!
my Finger Print sensor is not so accurate. I can finally says that is the same model and sw from the Galaxy S10 .
Disappointed about that
I can't complain, I'm having better luck with it than what was on the Note 9, even if I do wish the 10+ still had iris scan.

This. For a device to be their top tier monster, I'm surprised they didn't put something better than just basic face recognition in it.
I'm happy with it! it sucked on the first day but then I got that update that said it would improve fingerprint stuff and it actually did! it made it more sensitive and fast. it barely ever fails now.
Zero problems.
Having written that looking at this forum I must be unique in that I am a satisfied customer with the Note 10+. Nothing better or even close.
With respect some posters here really do need to look outside the box at what we HAVE here! Latest moans seem to be around 60hz. Last year it was something else the year before something else too.
What ARE our expectations of a smart phone? Where does this quest for bigger, smaller, fatter, slimmer etc end?

No device is perfect. I don't have any issues with criticisms, there is certainly nothing wrong with wanting more for the price being paid. Just because one person is happy doesn't negate folks that see negatives anymore than it affect someone that thinks it is perfect. That's the wonder of not being in an echo chamber.
I'll certainly defend design choices I see as beneficial, but I won't discredit someone's opinion of not including a higher hz screen for instance. You mean you wouldn't like that being a part of the device? That's just one example.
I just get an air of "don't complain because we have perfection", that kind of defeats a large purpose of these communities.
Maybe someone's gripe can be solved through another solution they knew nothing about. Maybe someone's gripes will help someone else make a purchase decision that better serves their taste.
Maybe it will help someone identify an actual defect and get it repaired..
I have zero issues with my FP reader. I know it's supposed to be the same sensor as the S10+, but I feel the one on the N10+ is more sensitive than the one on my wife's S10+.
I only have issues when I miss it, because I don't turn on the screen first and have to guess where it is. But I'm actually getting better about that too.
I'm excited to install my Whitestone Dome tomorrow when it arrived and see if it affects the FP sensor negatively. Online reviews say it doesn't cause any issues.

follow the instruction to the letter and it didn't affect my fingerprint scanner in the slightest, works identical to the factory fit protector for me.
Still not perfect but much better then my s10 plus. Don't like it as much as say pixel 3 or note 9 scanner on the back but it is getting better!

Great news! Thank you!
I feel like the fp scanner learns/or gets better as you use it. It was the same case with my s10. Never had any issues with it except the first couple of times. After that even with the screen off no issues. I know people that don't use it and they have "issues" with it.

I'm having zero issues with the fingerprint scanner as well. I have thumb and forefinger on both hands and let me tell you.....I have missed a front fingerprint scanner in the last two Notes.
I do make a point to rotate my fingers when I do the set up, I wonder if those having issues didn't do that.
When using good lock lockscreen, the fingerprint is worse than without it.
I have a Whitestone dome screen protector installed (perfect install too, I'm impressed with myself lol), and I noticed the fingerprint sensor is definitely hit or miss for me. Even with the sensitivity boosted it seems to have problems at times. I also tend to have dry hands which from my understanding causes problems with the reader.
I'm not going to blame the phone because I never even touched the glass before the protector went on, so I will blame it on the dome.
I would be interested in seeing if others with this protector are having issues.

I'm not having the best of luck either. I haven't got the Aug firmware update yet & that might help. I'm going to add my same finger a couple more times & see if that helps. I'm using the insecure face unlock as I miss that iris scanner so, so much.

I'm coming from the Note8 and the rear fingerprint reader is instant. The Note 10+ is a hit and miss. There are times where it registers instantaneously and there are times it takes a few times to register. I haven't downloaded the Aug firmware. Hopefully that will fix the hit and miss readings.

I have the August firmware and I wouldn't even call it hit or miss ...... It is truly terrible
Phone is otherwise great but the fp reader is practically useless
It's great for me. August patch. Once I learned what it likes, by testing checking finger prints, it doesn't miss. I also have the stock screen protector on and increased the screen sensitivity.

Just wondering if there has been any improvement to the fingerprint scanner at all?
From my understanding physically its using the same sensor/hardware. Whether software will enhance it, i think not. The TechChap did a video on his time with the S20 Ultra and it appears to be the same, slow and sluggish unlock. Which is a huge bummer.

Does it have anything to do with what screen cover you are using?? I heard whitestone dome glass will help improve the finger print sensor but I could be wrong.
My S10 is lightning fast. In fact I have psoriasis and is the ONLY fingerprint reader that works reliably with my fingers.
Mine is brilliant as well by now. It took 3-6 months, yes, but after that it was perfect on mine.
After an early update about a month after the note 10+ came out I've had zero issues with the fingerprint sensor. Really fast and gets it on the first try 98% of the time even if i have something on my finger. I'm glad its coming back
Hopefully, it is a better than the s10+.
S10+ is perfect for me. Trick is to not leave finger on it until it unlocks. Just press and release and phone will unlock.

I use whitestone dome glass on my Note 10+ and it definitelly does NOT make the fingerprint reader better. In my experience it makes the response much slower although it's the best screen protector on the market in every other aspect..
I'm gonna stay with the OEM screen protector this time and keep my fingers crossed.
The fingerprint sensor performance is directly related to the moisture level of your fingertip. The dryer your fingertip the more likely you will have lag or issues of it not working at all.
TBH I don't care, use the face unlock feature and only need fingerprint in darkness where (face) doesn't work.
That's one thing I love about my iphone. Not having that huge notch is worth it.

Face unlock on the Samsung phones is very insecure and can't be used for higher level validation (banning apps and such). Just in case you didn't know.

Yes I'm aware and I don't use any such apps on my device so no worries.
If I want to lock down my device I remove ALL biometrics and use a complex password.
Anything else is always a compromise in security but more convenient.

Thanks for that tidbit of info. Just received my Ultra yesterday and when trying to use the fingerprint sensor (after a successful setup) , keep getting message to "push harder". Looking back though, my hands/thumbs are very dry. I will try to moisturize them somewhat and redo. Again, thanks for that tidbit of info.
Fingerprint is really fast .not as fast as a physical sensor but way faster than my a50 or s10 plus
Had my P6 pro for a few months now, whilst I do like the phone I do have issues with it, the gyroscope seems randomly stop start, and the biggest issue for me is the fingerprint scanner, wtf do I always have to lick my thumb just to get it to work, I'm not saying it never works, but what I am saying is it hardly works,..I have decided to add 3of the same thumb finger prints to see if that helps, anyone else got this issue? Is it a common fault?
Iv had the pixel since March iv not had any problems at all only fee days I did have to restart phone as finger print kept failing but after that it was fine
Mine has been fine since day one albeit very slow to start with. That said i have always added both thumbs twice (plus a finger) for front scanners and both forefingers twice for rear scanners.
Since I done that reboot it's been fine I think I have both thumbs and pointy fingers both hands it's fine was funny I switched briefly to another phone while pixel was on charge showed finger print scanner on screen I was touching it like why ain't it working then remembered it's on the side of the phone haha
I got mine at the beginning of April and my fps works as good as the one on my OnePlus 7 Pro. If I'm out in direct sunlight I have to shade the screen, but it works reliably even with the screen protector on my Supcase.
No issues with the FPS on mine, especially after RMA my device. I feel that this FPS issue is overblown.

Just for comparison, the two Samsung Galaxy Note 10+'s that my wife and I used for a year and a half - we both had more trouble with the in-screen fingerprint reader than on any other phone we've had, including our P6Ps that we got after.
There just must be so many variables of what can go wrong using fingerprint readers that there's rarely a solid consensus about any device.

You know what is hilarious to me? The people that complain about the fingerprint scanner do not wash their hands or clean their phones. Clean your phone, then your hands, and when theyre dry? Remove and replace your finger prints and wallah.

People hate the truth. People who complain about blurry images are the same ones with a smudge on the camera. I literally do not have a single problem with my fingerprint scanner. Very fast and very accurate. I maybe get one "missed read" a WEEK and that's when it's like sitting on a table and I try to unlock it that way. They don't like being unlocked if they're not held.
