Phone application - auto rotate mistake - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

Dear All,
I changed 2 days ago my Note 10 Plus to a Note 20 Ultra - Exynos version both.
In my car holder the phone is in landscape mode - and of course the phone is setted up for screen auto rotation.
At the Note 10 Plus few months ago when i opened the Samsubg's phone app the screen was in landscape mode over the calling.
At the Note 20 Ultra, when I open the Phone app, the screen is in landscape mode, but when I start a calling or I receiving a call, the screen turn back to portrait mode.
When the call end, the screen turn back into landscape mode.
On the Note 20 Ultra the version of the Phone app is: 11.5.03.20
What was the version if this app on the Note 10 Plus, I don't know, because I sold that one....
Did someone meet whit this problem or know someone what can be the solution? - Th option to change my phone holder to portrait one, not acceptable
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
doczyus

Hello Doczyus,
Phone app in general doesn't rotate (have a rotate lock despite your universal setting preference).
There has been some issue with some note 20 ultra's proximity sensors have this bug but the weird thing here is the landscope mode in phone app as i tried it myself and it doesn't happen on my device. Maybe try doing soft reset and if that doesn't work , hard reset should do the trick.

Hello Harsh9101,
Thank you the quick and detailed answer!.
So, the feature on my former Note 10 Plus was a truly mistake....
I'm a bit sad, because that was a very usefool issue. I hope one of next upgrade in the furture will contains same issue for Note 20 Ultra too...

My 10+ Snapdragon variant running on Pie will rotate into landscape for everything until the call dail button is hit. Then it rotates to portrait mode regardless of orientation.
Ending the call does not reverse this unless you hit the back arrow. Locking it into portrait mode doesn't alter this behavior of the phone once the call's in progress.
Normal behavior.
If this helps...

Video Library App Bug

Hi there!!
After recent upgrade to Oreo 8 on my Galaxy S8+ the video app is not working as it was working before. The "Auto Screen Fit" feature is not working at all in stretch mode. However it works in full screen mode & every time for this feature to work I have to change the mode from stretch mode to full screen mode.
Kindly help if possible.

black circle blinking around the front camera

Hi guys,
I have the Note 10 plus and my wife bought last week the note 10 lite.
The lite have a circle around blinking around the front camera and the plus don't have this.
I searched everywhere and din't find an answer about what is that....
Any help?!
Did you buy the 10 lite used? I have a 10lite with aod notify installed it shows a ring around camera for notifications. So if you bought it used maybe its installed. Other than that not sure. Camera also has a lighted ring when you switch between front camera and rear camera, but its white.

No. It's brand new.
And I have the AOD notify in my Note 10 plus.
It's like a sensor. And just happens with the screen on.
The animation around the front camera appears when you are set to face unlock.

same thing
Same situation here, it has nothing to do with face unlock or notification system, tried everything, always the same thing. Its like popping up around front camera every 5-6 seconds when on lock screen, and sometimes when scrolling through certain apps. Maybe some kind of camera-cut-out-pixels protection? Its an odd software behavior without any explanation from Samsung.
Maybe your smart stay is turned on, try to disable it under Motion and Gestures in the settings.
It appears during a video call too, and looks like a larger circle, like that one the other samsung products.
Also sry, for being off topic, i wanted to know how is your s pen working, because the nib of mine feels a little loose.
It is as @j.canlas mentioned. Smart Stay is tuned on, it checks if you are facing directly on the screen or not (to lock the display). I also kept on searching for what it was when the device was new to me, it bothered me a lot.
You can disable/enable it under Settings > Advanced Features > Motions and Gestures.

This is the correct explanation for the infrequent circle around the camera.

I doubt this is still relevant for you since you posted this a year ago but I just solved this on my phone, try downloading an app called "MIUI hidden settings activity" and search for "night display suggestion" and it can be turned off there.

Screen twitch / vibrating icons note 20

Has anyone else been having note 20 ultra screen issues. Both my rooted 9860 and non rooted 986u1 are having vibrating twitching screens. Only way to correct is reboot. Mainly happens when try to go to mini player mode on YouTube or TV app. You lose control of phone.
First noticed on my replacement 986u1 but yesterday my 9860 did it. Idk.
Anyone else had problem. This is 2 different models I've had it on.

Question Second screen?

Does anyone know if it's possible to extend screen /second screen with the S22 ultra? I know the Samsung galaxy tab s8 can be used as a second screen for PCs. I want to have my S8 ultra be a second screen for my S22 ultra. Is that possible?
Reason being is this. Since my phone has 5G I want to run a remote desktop thru my phone on a second screen with the tablet.
I have read it about 4 times and I'm still wondering:
why don't you activate Mobile Hotspot on your phone and use it with the tablet?

Good question. My mobile hot spot for t-mobile is capped at 4gb.i literally reached the cap within 30 minutes. Now this throttling at an excruciating speed of 600 kbps lol.
EDIT: So I did some more research crisis averted! Ended up looking up ways to by pass the tethering cap and ran into Every Proxy app. Now this will hold me over till they release the 5G version of the S8 Ultra.
Dunno if it's helpful, but found this

How's the upload speed using the Every Proxy app? My home internet's upload speed is crap but I was wondering if I used my S22 ultra's t-mobile hotspot with this app when I want to backup my files to the cloud once in a while if this would be be an option. Las time I tried this- like you I hit my hotspot cap in under 45 minutes. Can you tell us what upload speeds you're seeing with your t-mobile network and after once the Every proxy app is included in the chain?
Thanks!

Yes, it's possible. I discovered a way about 6 months ago, I just put it out on the internet recently. Whatever device you want to act as the second screen, swipe down from the top twice where you find the quick toggle button options. Find smartview. Click it. Then click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner and goto settings. Then goto about smart view. Then tap on the word "smartview" about 7 or 8 times, and a developer menu will pop up with some extra options. One being "start second screen". Click to the left of the toggle. Scroll down and choose either video or drawing mode. Then goto your phone pr whatever other device you want to project, goto smartview, and you'll find the tablet in there. This has worked both ways with the note 10+, s22 ultra, tab s6 lite and tab s6.

Nice find. Thanks! Although I'll probably not use it that much, it's good to know.
I tried this. Here are my results.
S22 Ultra -> Tab S7 - Worked ok. The screen ratio was off and you need to make sure the tablet is same orientation as the phone. The screen mirroring is almost identical to how it works when mirroring to a TV or smart monitor.
Dell Inspiron desktop (w/2x27" monitors) -> Tab S7: Much better experience. I recommend the faster (gaming setting). The smoother setting has more lag, The text is smaller; which can be harder to read for older people who need reading glasses (like me).
Microsoft Surface Pro 6 -> Tab S7: Similar experience as the Dell. When set to the faster, gaming, setting, there is almost no lag. I am typing this on my SP6 with the desktop being extended across to my Tab S7.
I can see where the OP is coming from. For me, I probably wouldn't use it as a second screen for my phone. There are use case scenarios I would probably do this with my SP6 though. The biggest limitation for me is the text is harder to read.
@Wilazn
I can now see how this will work for you. If you have the keyboard cover for the Tab S8 Ultra, you can use @Joeyd13186's method to connect your S22 Ultra to your Tab S8 Ultra using DeX. I have the Tab S7 with the keyboard cover. I followed @Joeyd13186's instructions, but instead of using Smart Mirror, I used DeX and had my S22 Ultra connect to my Tab S7 as if it was a second (wireless) monitor. Now here is the really cool part! I could use my keyboard cover just like I was using it normally. The resolution is a not an exact match, but it is very much practical. To add icing, your S22 Ultra can still be used in its normal function.
Now, I have this working while connected to my home network. I will test it in the wild and report back how it works outside of my home network.

I figured it out. Follow @joeyd32405's instructions to allow your Tab S8 Ultra to be a second monitor. Then on your S22 Ultra turn on DeX and set it to project to an external wireless monitor. Your Tab S8 Ultra should pop up as a choice. Select that and you're off to the races.
I am typing this on my Tab S7+ that is being used as a wireless monitor by my S22 Ultra. Some key things. You will need either the keyboard cover for the Tab S8 Ultra, or a BT keyboard and mouse. I'm not sure a wired keyboard and mouse will work.
The keyboard cover is a little hokey. The backspace key does not work. To make a correction, I have to arrow back using the home key and then use Fn-Backspace to get delete the mistakes and type the correction.
Otherwise it seems to be practical. I'm using my S22 Ultra's non-Hotspot data.
Oh and you can use your phone normally because it is projecting DeX not your phone's home screen.
I can see how this can be useful. The truly only downside is the hit your battery life will take.

Are you rooted? People who have rooted their devices have run into problems using DeX.

It's not hidden. It's linked to Knox. There is a thread within the S22 Ultra forum talking about DeX and rooting.
