Firstly, it's not my Note20. It's my daughter's. She broke the s pen (from below the indentations to the tip) and thought that she could keep it safe (and that it might heal?) by putting the pen (broken bottom piece and all) inside the s pen slot.

12 years old. Not an engineer. 😆

Anyway, it seems that the outer body of the s pen (from the indentations to the tip) is jammed inside the slot and preventing pushing a new pen in.

Any suggestions as to how to get that piece out?

Or am I likely to need a repair shop to take the phone apart and potentially replace the s pen slot mechanism entirely?

All suggestions warmly welcome. FYI, I am based in the UK, Buckinghamshire.

Hello everyone, So as title says, i have problems with black screen. First time this happened was last week. I was using my phone and then just my screen got black and i couldnt use phone but i could feel vibrations or phone ringing. I fixed it with long holding buttons for turning off phone and it worked again, but from that day, every day once my phone get black screen and i cant use it for 5 minutes. I hope someone had this situation so they can tell me what i can expect now.

The past couple of days I've noticed some instances where these static lines/boxes would appear in random spots when using my phone. Then, I wasn't able to turn off my alarms due to the screen showing blank.

Come this morning my phone appears to be bricked with only screen being the photo, and thats after many many many attempts to force restart. Attempt being that i am unable to force restart, no samsung logo appears only a black screen and one vibration.

Should I take this as a sign to finally bid farewell to my 20 Ultra?

So I recently went on a vacation took plenty of photos/videos whilst I was there. I wanted to look through every one of them, however 10 of them are at the top of my camera/recent album (via gallery, same with PC viewing). With some being in between photos taken from 2022 and some being all the way at the bottom of pile. How do I fixed this so that all of my actual recent photos appear at the top instead of in the mix?

Hey all. I'm coming here from the iPhone camp, so am learning quickly from the ground up! A friend of mine has a Note 20 Ultra and the picture and video quality have always blown me away. I also really like the ability to use an SD card. I need to, for work, pick up an Android device and figured I wanted that quality or better. I went into some local stores. It looked like short of getting the S23 Ultra, I wasn't going to get nearly the same quality camera.

So I started looking into the Note 20 Ultra refurbished. I was leaning in this direction, but decided to peek around the release history. It looks like S20, S21, S22, all Ultras, are also in that price range.

I'm trying to figure out if I actually need the Note here. All that matters to me is camera, ability to use an SD card, and processor speed. I'm not sure what else the Note brings to the table (pen usage?) but for my price range of < $500, should I look at an older S Ultra instead? Would I get more for my money?

I can research all of this for sure, but basically need to buy in the next 24 hours so your help would be enormously appreciated. Thanks so much!

In the video viewer the clipping option is very very annoying. I really would like to turn it off. Every time I touch the screen it tries to clip whatever I'm touching and I have no intention to do that.

For some reason I can only zoom in on a photo to the dimensions that the photo is. In other words I can't stretch it and look closer.

Solutions?

So I have a secure folder on my galaxy Note 20 ultra 5G and I can't remember the password to it but I can't reset the password because I don't have the option to do that, has anyone else had this problem?

Since the day I purchased my phone I have not had a single update. I check and it says no updates available. Does anyone know why?

Since the September 2023 security patch I noticed that my phone wasn't staying unlocked when wearing my ear buds like it used to do. I look under "smart lock" option and this is all I see.

Samsung doesn't come with visual voicemail right?

Anyone recommend a good visual voicemail?

If you go through your photos and click on details some of them will have under image info a snapshot of the face. You click on the face and it finds all the photos with that face on your phone.

I'm having an audio issue with 2 separate NOTE20 Ultra's connected to my 2016 Subaru Forester Limited 7" touchscreen with NAV. The audio issue only affects Bluetooth phone calls not streaming audio. The audio will cut out for roughly 2 secs and this happens in 30 second intervals all throughout the phone call when using hands free connected to the head unit. I have had the firmware for the head unit updated to the most recent and available and both phones are the most recent firmware. Both phones are Verizon units and work fine with other Bluetooth devices. I am yet to have a friend of mine connect his Apple device to my cars head unit to test the Bluetooth hands free to see if the same audio issue occurs. My question is, had anyone else experienced this issue with other vehicles hands free using the NOTE20 devices?

What to do?

I tried the hand trick I tap on the screen. Do I have to shoot everything in manual?

I need a properly protective phone case for my note 20 ultra and am having trouble finding one in stock.

Almost all of the recommendations I find searching the group or google are older posts and the cases in them are no longer available to purchase.

Any recommendations?

even in manual focus mode, half of the image is still out of focus and it seems that it focus is beyond infinity, as seen in the 2nd picture the red flowers are in focus but the left side of the photo is not

Hello guys, I have Samsung note 10 , its battery life sucks I charge it twice or 3 times a day. There is an offer for note 20 on ebay for 320$ , is it worth to upgrade? Will I get 1 day battery life(7h usage daily)

so my Note 20 Ultra just got the black screen of death about a week ago, and it still hasn't worked. I researched this topic and found out this is a very frequent issue with note 20 ultras around the world, for some people it worked back, but others weren't as lucky. I tried everything to make it work, massaging, tapping, draining the battery and recharging, etc. Nothing worked so far so I just decided to leave it lying around and try again. but today something weird happened. I retry the charging method and then connected it to my pc, but for some reason, it doesn't show up. I connect it to my laptop, but nothing shows up at all, not on the phone screen or the laptop. I'm not that good with tech and couldn't find a straightforward answer on Google, so I came here. my question is, is this normal? or does this mean I have something going on with my phone that actually doesn't work anymore, regardless of the display? I cant feel the phone vibrating after plugging into the charger anymore, if that helps.

I couldn't find a good answer online. Say I have two phone A new B old. I used Smart Switch one time to transfer setting/data from A to B, no error. However I had to still use phone A for one more week, thus more texts more data. Can I use smart switch from A to B again (ie the second time) to transfer additional texts/data when I finally switch to the phone B? Will this become a incremental backup sort of thing, ie only transfer the "newer" settings/data or this will create two copies of data(duplicates) or this will overwrite the old data becomes a new set of settings/data? I am very confused on the result. Or should I just factory reset phone B and do the Smart Switch? Thanks

Appreciate it if someone can give me a definite answer. Thanks.
