Your Phone "Phone Screen" option missing on PC - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

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If your PC is not showing the same output, then i think your OS is outdated.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.

I always have Today screen after turn-on PDA

Hello,
I have a problem with my Hermes. Always, after I turn on my PDA, it go direct to "Today" screen. That means that if I have one program open, I turn off PDA, and then turn on again, instead of have this program open, I get "Today", and I need to use a "task manager" or similar for change to the original program .
Anybody can help me?
Thanks!
Sesaru
UPDATE: From samw52000:
This is a retarded WM6 feature that is enabled as soon as you have a password set for the device.
Remove the password, apps will stay open when the device is powered back on.​
Is there any way to fix it without removing the password? I need the password!
Sesaru,
Can you explain a bit more what you mean? When you switch on the Hermes it does go to the today screen after the boot screens as its default behaviour. Not sure what you believe the problem is.

You need the software X-Button
It adds a little icon on top-left corner of your screen.
When you click on it, it shows all the programs that are running, you can click on whichever one you want to bring it back up to your front screen.
It is similar to ALT-TAB on a PC.
I had nothing but poor performance out of X-button.
handy switcher is a better app and much cleaner way of doing it.

Hello;
I'll try again (I made the post at 3AM).
The problem is: I'm using the PDA in anyway (File Explorer, Office, etc); imagine that I'm using Pocket Word. Then, I wait sometime without touching any button or I push on/off button --> the PDA turn off (normal )
After that, I press on/off button (and then, the PDA turn on). The normal behaviour (I think) is to have open in my screen the last application I was using (Pocket Word), so then I can continue working directly... but the PDA always change to "Today" screen. So I have to use X-Button (or similar) to switch to the app I was using. And that is quite annoying ...
I hope I could explain better myself.
Thanks!
Go to SETTINGS, then TODAY. Click on the ITEMS tab at the bottom.
Is "Today timeout:" checked? What does it have in the drop down box?

If not then you're SOL (just like me).

Ummm, careful Kc SN ... I see you haven't posted much, but you should get into the habit of reading the entire thread before you start to type. Otherwise, the foot can easily wind up in the mouth, as is evidenced here.

Windows Media Player when sleep?

On my TP2, I'm listening to music through the speaker, and everytime I put the phone to sleep it pauses it.
Any Ideas?
But if I let the phone sit there and go on standby itself it's perfectly fine.

When you're in the "Contacts" screen, hit the menu button (bottom right), then choose "View", then "Contacts", that will suppress the SIM contacts and only show you what you've added/copied to your phone's contact database.

And you're using the HTC contacts list in TouchFlo? Because whenever I choose one of those views (All/Contacts/SIM), the choice is always retained whenever I exit and return to the contacts. What carrier version of the phone do you have, and what ROM? (stock? cooked?)

Understood, I just hadn't yet had the chance to go digging for that solution, I knew it was around here somewhere.
Use the cab I've attached below, that should keep your music playing even after you hit the power button to turn the screen off:

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?

Quick way turn on/off AOD?

I like AOD and i have it on as default. However, when I'm at work I don't need to have it on since I can see my notifications & calls from the computer (using Join extensions & app). I tried messing around with Tasker but unable to accomplish anything so far. Do you guys know any quick way to turn on/off AOD without having to go into the display settings?
Edit - Found an app that let me toggles AOD
App is called "Tiles". There's a tile in the app called "Always On", switch it on, then run this adb command to allow the app make secure setting changes: adb shell pm grant com/rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Link to app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
One workaround. Pull town quick tiles, touch menu (gear to right of date), then in search box type "ambient", that will let you choose "Battery > Ambient Display". It takes long steps the first time. Next time just pull down tiles, touch gear, touch search bar, touch "ambient" (that stays in list), touch home button. It seems the 2XL keeps the last five searches.
There may be a better way, but I have not found it yet. Been trying to do it with Tasker and maybe a plugin, but nothing yet.

I have Tiles, granted permission through ADB, and the Ambient Display toggle does nothing.
Edit: It turns on and off the "New notification - wake screen when you receive notifications" setting. Not the Always On setting..
Edit 2: You need to use the Always On tile and not Ambient Display. Works well!

If you could, please provide a link to "Tiles". I tried searching for it in the Play Store and most of the hits are games.
I'm trying to find a solution to my phone screen turning off when it's plugged in and a call comes in. Maybe this is the fix I've been looking for.

Here you go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rascarlo.quick.settings.tiles
You can also squeeze your phone/activate assistant and say "turn always on display off"
Tasker does work, try the "custom setting" option.

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.

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.
