I miss my Note 8 so much; this Note 10 plus seems to be an annoyance. On my Note 8 non rooted, I used to be able to:
Double tap to wake directly into Home screen, the double tap made it hard to accidentally wake the phone inside my pockets.
I used to be able to avoid fingerprint features, and awful password management by Samsung, which forces me to use fingerprints reading that are very dodgy, and annoying. I loved that my Note 8 used Google to manage my passwords super easy.
Is there any way to bring these features back into my Note 10 Plus? SM-N975U
Thanks for any help in advance.
I hear you and it doesn't seem to make sense. The best recommendation I can give you is trying gravity screen, which may or may not relieve some of your frustration. I agree that removing this ability was stupid af.

Hey,
Could You please modify the upcoming egde kernel so that the screen won't turn on when the home Button is pressed inside our pockets. It would really improve our battery and omit unwanted pocket photos. LG already has it in all their G series, it's a simple proximity Sensor addon. I am asking cause I would like to enjoy edge Features and therefore planning to stay Stock.
Kind Regards,

While I agree with having a option to wake with the home button or not. Use a pattern or password lock screen. You can omit having a camera icon from any lock screen.
That way if your screen does turn on, the likely hood of taking pictures or pocket calls is very minimal.
I use gravity screen app. Keeps phone off in pocket and auto turns it on when pulling it out. Customisable. Great.
You can modify it to disable home button wake. @dwitherell

I'll Sure try it cause what happened to me today was really frustrating, I had my phone in my pockets and after sometime I felt my legs were burning hot so I quickly brought it out thinking the LiPo was about to explode or something but it turned out to be the phone activated the quick camera shortcut on the fingerprint lock screen and started capturing 4k video which for sure heated the processor up and other compnents as well. that was really annoying.
I tried this Gravity app but still I got unwanted phone wakes, I also looked into Rooting and disabling it, but still that's not what I want. I would like to use the home button normally but deactivate it only when in my pocket with the Proximity sensor.
I've kept the E8's so called Motion Launch Gestures feature turned on.
The screen doesn't wake up 3 out of 10 times of tapping on it.
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
The way I do is, pick the phone up in portrait position and then tap on the screen.
This may be a very minor one, but it irritates when you assume that the phone would wake up on the tap and it doesn't, where you'll have to end up using the power button for the same.
Please let me know your experience or if you've got a few tips to get around it!

It did happen to me a few times in the beginning, but not anymore. The catch here is that the gyroscope phone has to detect a movement for the double tap to work. So, if it's lifted from a table or so with very minute change in the axis,the motion sensors won't work. Otherwise it would work just fine.
My usage of the dot view made it easier, because double tapping with the case open and folded back always produced a movement/vibration. Now even without the dot view, most of the times, I'm able to get it right. It's just about getting used to it I guess. Just lift your device from any table or so, and slightly tilt it towards yourself. That is enough to trigger the motion launch gestures.
Thanks! I'll give that a try!
Hey guys, I recently took the update to the latest (and last) Android O beta and I've noticed that now I have to unlock my phone twice everytime to get into it. I use double tap to unlock my phone. On 7.1.2, I could double tap, then immediately swipe to be in the phone. Now when I double tap it just displays the time. I have to double tap again, then swipe to unlock it.
I feel like this is something simple that I'm missing in the settings to disable. I've played with the Display settings and haven't been able to figure it out.
Anybody know what I'm missing?

I use the finger print reader to unlock but mine worked as expected. Double-tap turned on the screen and my finger unlocked it. Now, it took three double-taps to wake the phone but that's a different conversation. [emoji52]

The 2 double taps being required is normal behavior sadly. I've seen no option to change this either. It's most likely to prevent accidental wakeups and so you don't fully wake your screen unintentionally when just looking at a notification to save power. :silly:

Normal for Android O? I didn't have to do that with M.
The power button only requires a single swipe and the finger scanner unlocks directly to the home screen. I lock and unlock my phone all day (at work). Usually it's on my desk, propped up with a kickstand case so double tapping is easiest for me. This is driving me crazy.

It drives me a bit nuts too but I'm pretty sure it's part of the new ambient display which is less useful than before, it hides the notifications as little dots after it initially goes away..

I believe that since google will be copying other guy having always on display,. This is the reason why the are doing this.
Always on display will be one of the pixel 2 main feature. They are probably testing to see how it works has a ambient notification. I like nougat notification better.
Yea, I'm not that impressed with O so far. Even if I turn off ambient, I still have to double tap twice. Good thing my bootloader is unlocked. I'll flash the patch for this the day someone releases it.

I don't know if I am the fool here but has the hard press area on the screen on note 9 been removed from note 10+ ?
I aware I have tried hard pressing all over those screen to no avail.
Also another issue is the fingerprint scanner. It's working fine for me regardless to other people's reports but I have to press the damn power button to turn the display on now.
With note 9 I just placed my finger on the back of the phone and it always unlocked flawlessly and now no hard press and I can't just place my finger on the screen to turn the screen on.
Is there no way to make a hard press region in the screen even if third party software?
Has anyone found a AOD theme for note 10+ with a fingerprint mark on the display so I can always see where to exactly place my finger without having to press power button ?

As far as I know hard press time button is gone I also have the note 9 and I'm on the upgrade program and I've upgraded to the note 10 plus
I havemt recieved the jiffy bag yet of samsung to return the note 9 but if I'm honest I'm thinking of returning the note 10 I cannot stand the fingerprint scanner and the camera punch for me just spoils the whole experience of a great display
And there is also all the health sensors,headphone jack,iris scanner
I have set the always on display to tap to display. So I can either tap the display then use my fingerprint, or I actually can just use the fingerprint directly (if I am at the approximate correct position).
My only issue is that my fingerprints are messed up from dryness and working on rough stuff. So, it takes a bit of time for the fingerprint reading to register (and I have to press pretty hard).

Yea I am thinking of sending it back as well. I'll give it a few more days to fool around with before I make my decision.
I have mine setup to wake up when I pick it up, and enable face recognition along fingerprints since the on screen reader sucks.
The face recognizition is almost instant. No idea how secure it is, but works well

1) Hard press - meaning that when on home screen, tap and hold on an icon to get context menu? - If yes, then it is still there
2) I don't have to turn the screen on to be able to unlock the phone. You just need to be precise where you place your finger while the screen is dark

No hard press as in it works as a home button which was a great feature for a phone without a physical home button.

Yeah, I got you. It is was when you press on home button(square), you got the vibration Previous gen Galaxy devices had it starting from S8, I believe.

Hi fellas,
Very happy with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S, but I'm constantly alternating between using buttons and gestures to navigate, because when in gestures, I often accidentally trigger Google Assistant, or, I should say, I get prompted to activate it, which I don't want to by any stretch. Disabling it is one of the very first things I did when I set up the phone.
I suppose gestures are to some extent hard-coded in Android 10, but isn't there a way to prevent a thumb slide upward from the bottom left corner from causing the prompt to activate Google Assistant? Like, remapping that area of the screen or something? I like gestures, generally-speaking, but this one mishap that brings the prompt instead of closing the app I have on-screen is enough to bring me back to using buttons instead.
(Yeah, I know, I'm clumsy.)
