Howdy y'all, I hope you're all doing well.
If you're reading this, I think it's safe to say that your pretty darn excited for One UI 2.0 w/ Android 10! I'm so excited that we get to share the latest and greatest experience Samsung has to offer, together. With the One UI/Android 10 beta coming around the corner, I want to hear what excites you the most from One UI 2.0 and what you'd like to see. What features would you like added?
The contents of this post serve as and provide valuable information for users looking to participate in the beta. This post will be frequently updated as new information emerges.

Beta boards can be found here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Beta-feedback-reporting/bd-p/Beta_Feedback_Reporting_Commentary
Some things to keep in mind before signing up and installing the beta:
- The main goal and purpose of the public beta is to gather feedback from users. When unexpected errors occur, please submit feedback via the One UI Beta app.
- The beta firmware is exactly what it is, beta. This means that there may be some unexpected bugs.
- Some apps might not function properly (if you rely on using banking apps, it might be wise to wait for the official update.)
- Data loss may occur. It is recommended to backup your data. Samsung offers SmartSwitch on both Android and on PC/Mac. I'd highly recommend making a backup of your data before you install the beta.

Hey @Love276, I hope you're doing well.
Are you referring to the Galaxy Note 10/10+ One UI 2.0 beta? It isn't available yet so I am unsure how you'd have that problem already.
If perhaps you are talking about the Galaxy S10/10+ One UI 2.0 beta, there is a thread for it in the Galaxy S10 section. In the thread, troubleshooting steps are listed to resolve that issue. That thread can be viewed here: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S10/One-UI-2-0-Android-10-Mega-Thread/td-p/880136
Check out the Troubleshooting portion. I hope this helps! Take care!
