Does anyone know what's happened to the 'Pin Notes to the Always On Display' featureon Note10 Plus? I can't seem to be able to pin notes to the AOD anymore.
Any ideas?
Is still available.
When you use a note with the screen off, the option appears at the top right.

Thanks ericmky.
Somehow the pin icon stopped showing on my phone, having run the phone on Safe Mode seems to have solved the problem. I thought Samsung removed this feature, glad that's not the case.

I've recently bought the 4g touch and installed the starburst rom and I've found that if I have any kind of security setup (pin, password) that none of the lockscreens seem to be enabled. As soon as I wake the phone up it throws me straight into the pin/password screen. Has anyone else ran into this type of issue before and have a fix? Any help would be appreciated because I'm at a loss for solution and even google isn't helping me unfortunately.

I am not sure if this is how it is supposed to function or not, but I can confirm that this is the same behavior I experience. If you select "None", then the pin lock doesn't even come up. I have to select sgs2 and it will then show my lock screen... but yeah, if you select anything else with a lock setup it does not show that lockmod. -Grand
this is the expected behavior. otherwise you'd have to unlock the phone twice everytime once for the pin then once for the normal lockscreen.
i've never used a pin on any of my phones is the dual unlock normal/what you were expecting ?

My previous two phones, HTC Hero and Evo 4g both had the lockscreen show up, swipe to unlock, and the pass/pin screen show up. I suppose I figured that was default behavior for most phones. To me it makes the most sense to me to have the lockscreen, swipe to unlock, then show pin/pass screen since it would allow flexibility of music controls/phone/sound without having to log into the phone and provide some basic security.
OK, I'm puzzled by how this screen appears on my phone every now and then (see attachment). It happens when I am charging it after using it, i place it on my desk. Then the screen appears...
The thing is, I am not sure how this screen comes about (what apps is causing this screen). I have magazine unlock, so rightfully, I should see those magazine covers.
And when this black screen thingy appears, I just need to lift up my phone a bit/ or tilt it and i am in my homescreen.
Any idea?

i just checked and ya, it's OFF. so, back to square one... what screen is that?
i guess this is one issue i've seen being highlighted by users new to honor/ huawei/ emui... so many features that they are not being "documented" properly.
there's also this screen that appears every now and then. but this one, iinm, is to protect phone from be accidentally unlocked while in pocket or bag (not sure if i've actually enabled it)...

This feature is maybe in the smart assistance mode.

i think you're right. i checked and very likely it's the "Smart cover" under Smart assistance. Not sure if it's turned on by default. Anyway, I've turned off both options under Smart cover and will monitor over the next few days.
I've just purchased my first pixel phone. I wanted to test active edge, but I don't really know how to activate it. In settings I've set sensivity to the lowest and indeed it reacts when I squeeze the phone. But only in this screen in settings. Even though it says it's on, no matter how much I squeeze the phone, nothing happens. I've even read Google manual about this topic and still I cannot active it, no matter what. When should it activate? When I'm on home screen or when my screen is locked?

Hi there, it works out of the box, you don't have to activate it. It should work when your screen is locked and at any other time.
One thing that I can think of is if you have disabled your nav bar for some reason, or if you are in immersive mode. Then it doesn't work in my experience.
Also if in your country there is no Google Assistant yet - it won't work either!

Thanks. So that's the reason. Indeed, there's no Google assistant in my country yet. So then it's useless... I thought my phone is broken or something.
So on my s10 i can tap the screen to reveal the fingerprint icon so that i know where i need to place my finger but this setting is missing from the note 10?
This means i have to double tap to wake the screen and then use the fingerprint scanner! Its much quicker the other way and enables me to bypass the lock screen altogether!
Anyone else know what iam talking about and do you have the setting on your note 10 plus ?
I can single tap the screen to get the sensor location. AOD is set to "tap to show". Hope that helps

Oh interesting! Maybe AOD needs to be on so! AOD is off on my S10 but i can still tap to show the indicator. The settings on my S10 that give me that option are not available on my Note 10 +

I tried that and it works but then the clock is displayed too which i dont want! Basically i can unlock the phone from sleep using my fingerprint and bypass the lockscreen but have no idea where to place my thumb! On the S10 you could tap to see an indicator but you cant on the Note 10 for some reason! You have to guess or else your forced to use the always on display

If youre just unlocking it right after tapping it, why does it matter if the clock shows for a split second?
I turned off my AOD and tapping the screen brings up the place to touch without anything else...
Don't know why software experiences can be so different, I'm in Oz if that helps with a stock Exynos variant...
My Note 10+ (Pie) insists on ignoring my double tap to turn the screen on but comes on all by itself while in my pocket and despite a PIN on the lockscreen it texts and makes calls all by itself.
Honestly, this is the best Samsung can do?
I am very over this phone and it will be my last Samsung I'm afraid.
Anyone have any ideas to stop it texting/calling all by itself?
Thanks in advance.

Hey there make sure your "touch settings" under Display settings are where you like them (or fiddle with them to see if anything changes) and your "lock screen" & "AOD" settings are correct.
My Note10+ (android 10) lives in my pockets and has no "false" calling or texts. I find it's usually "operator error" since Samsung has soooo many options and settings. Also you might like android 10 over 9.... peace and good luck!
Keep the display facing away from your body.
I use Double Tap with normally no issues.
