Are you referring to the always on display that comes up when the screen is turned off? If so then I hit that button plenty of times and I don't see the thing that I highlighted come up as the background for my always on display.

Hmm that's weird I just tried it on mine and it works fine. After selecting an area it doesn't pop up the Always On display and let you edit it with the area you selected earlier?

[Q] S Pen help please

I've went through every setting I can think of but cant figure this out. Just got my Note today, and this was working until somehow I switched it off I guess. When I pull the pen out, it doesnt bring up the S Pen options anymore. It vibrates and makes the sound, but nothing comes up on the screen. If I go set it to open up an S Note when the pen is removed, it will work, but I somehow switched off where it will bring up the whole menu of options to choose from.
When I pull my pen out it defaults to the screen you are talking about. On that screen if you tap the settings menu, it takes you to a something called "page buddy". There are check marks in Page Buddy that make it default to opening certain screens when you remove the pen, insert headphones, and dock the phone.
Sounds like you may have turned page buddy off. Not sure where the settings for that are though...
go to main settings-display there should be a "page buddy" option. make sure it's on on the right side with the switch. then click on the name itself on the left and it will take you to it's options. make sure the s pen page is enabled and you are good to go. just remember this doesn't work in any app, just on the home screen

[Q] 'complete this action using....'

why do we keep getting this option when accessing the internet from our phones? u can choose internet, chrome, youtube etc...then it asks if it should access the 'net the same way, each time?
also, why do i keep seeing an 'eye' at the top of my screen from time to time? it is on the screen for a very quick second and then disappears???
If you hit the "Just Once" button, you will have to hit it every time. If you hit the "Always use" (or whatever the verbiage is), it will always use that one, without prompting you.
The eye is for the face detect function, to see if you're looking at the screen for the rotation and/or screen off functions. It can be turned off in the motion menu I think.

If the phone is off you drag up to decline, then drag up the messaging bubble . You'll 5-6 predefined texts, or enter your own.
If the phone is on, tap decline, then choose to send a message from the following dialog that auto-appears.
If you don't see either, open your phone app, hit the settings (...) and scroll down to the bottom.
Check "Declined Calls".

It does seem to be working when the phone is locked, but not when the phone is not locked. Tap on the Decline is simply disconnecting the call but there is no popup.
In the call setting the Declined Call setting is checked.

No problem. There is a check box in that mode to "not show this option" to you again (see attached). Maybe you accidentally hit? I'm not sure how you'd undo it. Maybe uncheck then re-check the Declined Calls box we talked about above?
Factory reset? I don't see anything else in the phone settings or messaging app that look useful.

How to turn off Charging status when screen off/AOD????????

This is really annoying, when my phone is charging and the screen is off, it constantly shows the battery % and time until battery is charged. Tried turning off the AOD, looked all through the settings and no go. Anyway to turn this off??? My note 9 does not do this

I posted this on another thread, hope it helps. Worked for me:
I got the package disabler from here https://www.packagedisabler.com/ . It's kind of shady so I advise to use PayPal(it is not a free app) if possible. You will need to enable the option to sideload applications, do a search for 'unknown sources' on the phone, should pop-up right away. Download the app from the site, search it with the file explorer and install it, you should also receive a code in your email after you pay, paste it. Scroll down until you see 'Always on Display' and select disable. This worked for me. The app is more than $3.00 as they charge in Euros. Hope this help
Any other option how to disable it? A lot of people use AOD and this option probably will turn whole AOD.

I don't think it is possible with regular settings or tweaks, It is such a replacement for missing LED indicator in Note 10(+). Unlike previous model.
I was always wondering about this as if the phone is on charge every night what is stopping the burn in on the screen. it's a good answer to the lack of a LED, but it seems a bit overkill.
Search for screen saver under display or lock screen settings. It's about what to display when phone is charging.

The screen saver won't show if you press power button to turn off screen. It will only work if you wait for screen to turn off by itself.

I consider everything outside the play store as 'shady'. Anyways, I used PayPal and the app worked great. One thing to consider that I don't think has been mentioned is that you 2ont be able to change your lock screen clock shape as it is tied to the AOD app somehow.

thanks. that's okay with me (clock). do I need to use adb or anything like that? there are apps outside of the Play store that are not shady.

Ah...but it's not the only way.
If you prefer to stick to the play store instead of third party I'm currently using CCSWE from Google play for this.
You CAN do this with the free version. Simply go to the search box in the app type AOD and search. Disable the one labeled com.samsung.android.app.aodservice.
This will disable the AOD completely - so no charging screen and no general AOD use.

Download a black wallpaper, such as this one: https://i.imgur.com/NakfHv4.jpg
Put it ina folder by itself and label it so you remember it.
Turn on screensaver under Display Settings, and set the screensaver to photo frame. Set that to the folder that contains your our black wallpaper.
Now when you charge the phone, it will start the screen saver, which will be all black, no charging notification. If you still see the charging notification, just double tap the screen to go to lockscreen and let it time out. The notification will be gone.

You don't need to download any background. Just choose photo but don't select your google account.

Your Phone "Phone Screen" option missing on PC

Just got my Note 10+ 2 days ago. I'm back to xda forum and note series after Note 2 ( i even still have Note 2 as my profile phone). Done setup my phone as I wanted. However, I've read there was option for Microsoft's native screen mirroring to PC through "Your Phone" app, but I didn't have that. I've checked, my PC meet all the requirements including the Bluetooth Low Energy Peripheral Role. Am I missing something or something I did it wrong?
This app came installed on my phone, but it is hidden from the app drawer. I haven't tried to use it yet.

It's an app on your PC. Try searching for it in Microsot Store.

Yup, already installed both on my PC and phone. The issue is the option for screen mirroring is missing.
Sorry, my bad. Was in a hurry when i read it so i misunderstood. Can you check what version your OS is in?

Just to make sure... pull down notification shade, pull down again to expose the full panel of toggles. Open the hamburger menu, then Button Order. Confirm that Link To Windows is not in either button panel or the New Buttons panel. Make sure to scroll both to expose any additional pages.

From what OP replied with earlier, he has already linked his phone with his PC. He's just missing the Screen Mirror option which should be under the Phone, Messages, and Notifications menus. I guess you missed the attached photo as i did?

Yup, it is connected. In fact this screenshot was taken from sync the Your Phone app to my PC.
Nvm, I've figured it might be something wrong with my main PC (Laptop) Your Phone app, since it works fine on my Microsoft Surface Go. Thank you guys for your input.

If your PC is not showing the same output, then i think your OS is outdated. Try updating to 1903. That'a the only reason i can think of at the moment. If it already is then i'm out ideas.
