Just got the email and very relieved! Didn't want to come off another 550! I did everything I could to make sure this went thru with documents, and thankfully it worked out.

I don't mind the camera cut out but got tired of the wallpapers that just dark out the top right to hide it and the ones highlighting it seem corny to me. I dink around in photoshop on my Note9 and cobbled this one together. I'm up for sharing if anyone wants it and make others from time to time I can post if there's an interest. Its cobbled together from other walls and some of the graphics are mine. I don't claim credit for it all.....just cobbled it together.

Good Lock is much better at this in my opinion and is an OEM app that honestly should have been preloaded but whatever. The last update I got on it really expands it a lot and for me at least solves most of the shortcomings of Pie and OneUI. And yes it does work with every app that I need it for without failure

Shutting off your lockscreen every night although simple, is still a hassle and I can see myself forgetting that eventually. I thought maybe Bixby routines would have a setting to for that but no, and I suppose I wouldn't really want it to if I want my phone secure.
I think the best option is to reschedule the auto restart at a different time during the evening or day. I set mine to reboot after my alarm goes off and I'm in getting ready to leave. I sometimes work the weekends, so having it restart at night just doesn't work for me with the new reboot feature in Pie. From what I can tell, it's an android change, not one from Samsung. I'm guessing another security feature.

I randomly get the same thing from the same app....this one! It only happens with this Samsung Members app and it's really strange. I clear my recents apps and it goes away when the Samsung Members app fully closes.
I'd really like to know what critical services the Samsung members app is doing in the background

I think Brad's on to something here! Themes seem to be the common reason for a lot of the problems I've seen people having.
You nailed it Brad!

Ok not sure which Note you're referring to now lol 8 or 9. The previous link was for the 8 and of course the Spen for the 9 is a bit more but here's that link

You can purchase replacement S pens from shop Samsung. I think they're 25 bucks if I remember right.

I also got the scanner update yesterday and it certainly improved it. After it updated and I messed with it, I wiped my phone and set it back up registering each thumb twice and it seemed even better. Not nearly the speed of my Note9 but the location divot on that helps for finding it and the scanner itself was simply quicker.
I think with the S10, it's not just different all together but there's muscle memory now that falls into it. Without the physical location divot, it all depends where and how your finger lands on the screen. Sometimes I touch it and it's open. Other times I have to roll my finger or tap and hold. The more I use it the quicker I open it. Muscle memory or software updates, its improved from day 1 and is becoming tolerable.

There's also a huge string on reddit about this. I'm still waiting to hear about my trade in....

Of all the apps people download and rarely ever use, Good Lock is the one to get and it's an OEM developed app. It honestly completes the S10 and should be an app that comes preloaded but....you get the option!
It really does tie the phone together with the things people are complaining most about like the clock location and the alert display around the camera notch. No ads and it's free...and by Samsung

Stopping it I'm sure would be very welcomed but I'm curious as to why it's happening. You don't have any routines set up that may do that do you? Just definitely seems weird for an app to open to a specific place everytime you unlock it.

I haven't had the connectivity issues that I've seen others have. My 10plus connects to my jeep fine and once you get use to the location of the scanner, the fingerprint works pretty quick. It's a muscle memory thing so itll take a while for you to get use to it as opposed to the 9 series where the scanner on back is an easy locator.
I like the screen much better on the 10, it's the same size as my Note9 but lighter and not as bulky. I really hope a lot of these features and hardware make it to the Note series as well.

I can't click most links in this app. Replies and likes are about it and only sometimes on likes. I'm wiping my phone and resetting everything. Having several issues anyway and I'll try a private message again.

I'd really like to know where to get the OEM protector as well. I'm using a Zagg now and it's really good, but I'd like the OEM again. Mine seemed to yellow and wasn't sensitive for the fingerprint scanner. One day at work I caught an edge of it and it peeled a corner and just got worse so I peeled it off.
Fingerprint scanner with a naked screen was pretty good and its still pretty good with the Zagg protector, but I'd like a good OEM again if possible. That's what I looked for first before buying the zagg but couldn't find one.

You're right. I use the mobile hotspot from my other phone major updates that arent allowed over mobile data and you're right there as well. It's not right that you cannot use your data to download more than a security update.

Yep the horror stories keep piling up. I'm still waiting to hear on my Note9 trade in. I took a lot if steps to help avoid this, but the pile of stories isn't reassuring.
I'm really sorry to hear that man, be diligent and keep on them. I saw an article on line that theres a huge redit post of very unhappy Samsung owners in the same situation and the numbers are growing.

I got the update this morning and I re registered my prints after a reboot, wiped cache and rebooted again and it works pretty good. Not like my Note9 but much quicker than it was.

It's been well over a week for me and I haven't heard back yet one way or the other. I did take photos of it from all angles showing zero scratches or cracks and the screen on at the set up language stage. I made copies and sent a copy of all the photos of the phone with the phone in the original Note9 box that it came in. There should be zero issues but all I hear are horror stories. I also left a copy of an email I received from Samsung stating (and I circled it and requested it) that they will ship it back if it doesnt meet requirements and you request it..
So I did and we'll see!
