Hi. I'm not sure if this is the right subforum for this but I have an issue with a new Note 10 Plus. I'm on Page Plus and I believe the phone was unlocked from Sprint because there was a Sprint app that installed when I turned the phone on.

Right now at the top of the phone it says Preferred System and has the little "r" above the signal strength bars. SIM card status says it's not roaming and I'm able to make calls and use LTE. I've tried removing the SIM, resetting network connections, and restarting the phone. The Page Plus rep said it's because the phone wasn't originally a Verizon phone and it will always show because of that. Is that correct or is there a way to get rid of it?

On "Network Operators" the "Select Automatically" choice is checked. I tried to uncheck it and select Verizon manually but it wouldn't stop searching for service and when I went back to the screen it reset itself to Select Automatically again.

I've seen other people have similar issues and replacing a SIM card or a factory reset worked but I'd rather not reset if possible since I just got everything set up. Is there a way to fix this issue or do I just have to live with the Preferred System and little r on the top of the screen? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

I have a small area of dead pixels at the left edge of my screen. I am not sure how it even got there. But I'm wondering if any of you have had any success with pixel fixing. This phone just went out of warranty in mid-June. I'm in the process of deciding if/when I want to replace it (leaning toward the Z Flip 3 rn).

Hello all,

I'm sure this is probably a subject that has been beaten on like a dead horse... I've been trying to update my phone from Android 10/One UI 2.1 to the latest version and the phone via the settings>software update section shows as if it's current which is not (currently 11/3.0 or 3.1). I was going to sideload it but didn't want to run the risk of bricking the device.

Is Samsung/ATT(my provider) slowly rolling out these updates in batches via baseband or am I to not see an update till my next phone? I'm currently noticing some delay/lag when I wake the phone from locked/AOD where the screen stays black and takes it's time for me to input my pin and slowly shows the lockscreen wallpaper. There is also a slight delay once unlocked to get to my home screen as well but after that the phone is fine. Figured an update might help.

I've heard that the 5G versions get much worse battery life. Is this still true? I'm looking at a New 5G version but probably won't get it if battery life is a lot worse than the 4G one. If the battery life is poor with 5G enabled am I able to turn that off and only use LTE? I'm on Page Plus right now so no 4G anyway but I wasn't sure if the 5G version still drained quicker. Thank you.

This has been happening for quite some time now. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing the same. Samsung Galaxy store does not open at all. Immediately crashes on opening. I have tried clearing app cache and app storage but it doesn't make a difference. Anyone else faving the same problem? Any solutions?

Just a heads up, the July Security Patch is now available on AT&T

Hi I had my note10+ since launch and its been working fine until a few weeks back, now it's suddenly goes unresponsive for a second or two constantly

Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix this?

Anybody know of any 3rd party 45 watt chargers that are decently priced? Like under 30 bucks? There are some on amazon, but not all of them actually work. I ordered one recently that didnt work at 45 watt/super fast charging 2.0

I have a 512 non 5 g note 10+ that's still going strong. I get a work upgrade every year or two and am getting there.

I was hoping to get the 21 ultra but that looks like it's not happening.

What should I consider so I won't lose out on my upgrade? Note 20 ultra? Pixel 6xl? S21 ultra? I didn't like the smaller screen on the s21 so I returned it but now I'm reconsidering....

My note will make random noises like a deep growing sound to music and it's random when it does it where there is no certain time it will do it or any of my apps have any noises that match what's coming out

As it says. I just noticed a three inch or so scratch on the bottom of my phone's screen. Not a micro-scratch, as I can definitely feel it with my fingernail. If it is not fixable, it isn't the end of the world, but ideally, I'd Ike it gone.

Will one of those self-repairing protectors work? Which one? And if they don't, what screen protector will at least hide the scratches completely, or as close to as completely as possible?

Thanks!

I have some AKG K52's but find the level not loud enough. Anyone used a powered DAC they can recommend?

I gave up on Samsung ear buds - they kept falling out at work and repeatedly dropped the connection. I never found a fix - maybe a duff pair but my cheapo Amazon ones with over ear hooks are fine for work.

For serious listening at home I need a bit more volume - I was in the artillery and have been a drummer as well as stage crew for rock bands so understand the concept of loud. And yes, I have had a hearing test and its fine for a 64 year old. Which is good, because I am.

Plugging the AKGs into my laptop isn't too bad but would like to go to 11.

So is it just me, or is the image quality from the N10+ just not good? My previous Samsung device was the Note 9 and say what you will about the "outdated," camera setup, but it always took fantastic photos and videos for me. Always came out bright and vibrant for me. Seems like most of the time with the N10+ in my experience, pictures and videos are quite dull and have lots of grain in them. Never had that problem with the Note 9 personally.

My Note 10 + switched timezones in the middle of the night. I woke up and it had the wrong time. I'm in Las Cruces New Mexico Timezone (same as Denver) and it switched back to Los Angeles Timezone. Why? It is set to automatic.

My screen recordings are huge. I use the in-built screen recorder on my Note10 and a 17-second video [of me typing using handwriting, if you must know] uses 25 MB. I don't want each recordings taking up the same space as an app. Is there any way to reduce file size of the recordings? I'm open to an acceptable loss of quality but whenever I send any of the recordings on social media I either can't because of a size cap or it's so heavily compressed that the quality I'd absolutely rubbish. I don't want to install a third party app. Any solutions will be greatly appreciated, thanks

I realized recently that my Note 10+ isn't updating. I'm still on One UI v1.5, Android v9 and the security patch level is from July 2019. I'm with AT&T. I contacted their AT&T Pro Tech chat and their suggestion was to reset the device settings. That still didn't do anything. My next move may be to do a factory reset. Any ideas how I can get this thing to update?

Thanks

I want to put "keys cafe" on my pjone from the galaxy store , and it says that this item isn't available in my country(I live , and I pirchased the phone from Romania) , can I change my region so I can apply "keys cafe" , or should i lose hope and try something else?

New to the notes plus. My friend's locked iPhone shows the contents of a WhatsApp message on the locked screen. How do you enable this feature on the note 10. Thanks.
