How to use the Dynamic Lock screen on Galaxy Note 10?

By Simon 2 Comments · First published on: October 17, 2019 · Last Modified on: October 17, 2019

use the Dynamic Lock screen on Galaxy Note 10The Dynamic Lock screen can automatically change Galaxy Note 10 lock screen’s wallpaper. You will always see a new wallpaper when you wake up the Galaxy Note 10 screen.

Although we did not list it as one of the top 10 new features of Galaxy Note 10, many owners found this feature is quite interesting.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains the details (and limitations) of the dynamic lock screen on Samsung Galaxy Note 10, how to enable, use, and customize the dynamic lock screen.

With the September 2019 update for Galaxy S10, this feature is also available on Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e now.

What is the Dynamic Lock screen on Galaxy Note 10?

By default, the wallpaper on Samsung Galaxy Note 10 does not change (static).  This means you will see the same picture again and again when you wake up the screen.

The Dynamic lock screen, introduced with Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+ of course), uses a pack of pictures as the lock screen wallpaper.

The phone will rotate them randomly so that you will very likely see a different lock screen when you wake up the screen.

All pictures/photos in the “pack” (category) are provided by Samsung. You need to download them to your phone before you can use them.

Samsung promised to update the packs every two weeks, and therefore, you will always get a “fresh” look of your Galaxy Note 10 lock screen.

In a nutshell, the dynamic lock screen means a new lock screen wallpaper when you wake up the screen.

How to enable the Dynamic Lock screen?

By default, this feature is not enabled. And the lock screen wallpaper on Galaxy Note 10 is static. You need to enable it manually if you want to make it dynamic (and fresh).

There are a couple of ways to enable the Dynamic lock screen on Samsung Galaxy phones.

Method 1: Settings — Wallpapers and themes

The first method to enable the dynamic lock screen feature on Galaxy Note 10 is from the wallpaper and theme settings.

As shown in the screenshot …

How to use Samsung DeX for PC with Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+?

By Simon 4 Comments · First published on: September 6, 2019 · Last Modified on: September 8, 2019

Samsung DeX for PCSamsung DeX for PC allows you to use Galaxy Note 10 in the DeX mode (extended/desktop mode) on your PC or laptop without any dongles or accessories.

This is one of the most useful new features of Galaxy Note 10.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains the setup and requirements of Samsung DeX and shows you how to use the DeX for PC with Galaxy Note 10. Some caveats of using Samsung DeX were also explained.

What is the difference between DeX for PC and Samsung DeX?

Samsung DeX is the desktop mode of the supported Android phones (mainly Samsung Galaxy S and Note series) and a few Galaxy Tab S tablets.

With an external dongle (Samsung DeX Station, DeX Pad, or DeX cable), you can use the phone or tablet in the desktop mode on an external monitor with a mouse and keyboard. You can use the phone on the phone screen simultaneously, or use the phone screen as a touchpad.

Samsung introduced Samsung DeX with Galaxy S8. Galaxy Note 8, Note 9, S9, S10, and now Galaxy Note 10, all support Samsung DeX.

Prior to Galaxy Note 10, you need an adapter to run Samsung DeX. The following table summarizes the compatibility of DeX accessories with the supported Samsung phones.

Although DeX for PC is just a special mode of Samsung DeX, the difference between Samsung DeX and DeX for PC is obvious:

  • Samsung DeX works on a monitor (or TV). DeX for PC works on a PC or laptop.
  • Samsung DeX requires a mouse (keyboard is optional). You can use the phone screen as a touchpad (requires Android Oreo or later Android). DeX for PC uses your PC/laptop’s keyboard and mouse.
  • DeX for PC allows you to drag and drop to share files between the phone and the PC.
  • DeX for PC only requires a USB cable. Both USB-C cable and USB-A to USB-C cable are supported.
  • DeX for PC only works with Galaxy Note 10  and Galaxy Note+ (and Tab S6 for tablet). While Samsung DeX works with more devices.

Fully chargedYou need to charge Galaxy Note 10 before you can use it. Everybody knows it. But do you know how to charge Galaxy Note 10 battery properly?

If you are new to wireless charging or fast charging (quick charge), you may get confused on the charging options for Galaxy Note 10.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide starts with steps of charging Galaxy Note 10 battery with USB cable charging and wireless charging. Then it explains how to choose a proper wall charger and wireless charger for Galaxy Note 10. The typical charging time for Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ was also discussed. Finally, some questions you may have on charging Galaxy Note 10 are answered.

As explained in this post, there are some differences, including battery capacity and Super Fast charging, between Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. So, in this post, sometimes Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ is singled out. In other cases, Galaxy Note 10 refers to both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

Two charging modes for Galaxy Note 10 battery

Since Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy Note devices support wireless charging natively (without using any mods).

So, for Galaxy Note 10, there are two charging modes (methods):

  1. USB cable charging. Galaxy Note 10 battery can be charged through the USB-C port (see Galaxy Note 10 layout).
  2. Wireless charging. You can put Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ on a Qi-certified wireless charging pad to charge the battery.

You should not confuse the wireless charging with the new Galaxy Note 10 feature of wireless PowerShare. Please refer to this guide on how to use wireless PowerShare to share Galaxy Note 10 battery with other devices.

How to use and remap Galaxy Note 10 Side key?

The new side key on Galaxy Note 10 is a combination of Power key and Bixby key.

By Simon Leave a Comment · First published on: August 24, 2019 · Last Modified on: September 14, 2019

Galaxy Note 10 physical keys On Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+, Samsung replaced the unpopular Bixby key with the Galaxy Note 10 Side key, which is mainly a Power key as in old Galaxy Note devices (but on the opposite side).

So, many Galaxy Note 10 owners are a bit confused about the new Side key. It is in the location of the Bixby key, but it functions mainly as the Power key (with some differences).

This Galaxy Note 10 guide explains the functions and usage of the Side key and shows you how to customize (remap) the Side key on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. Questions on how to power on, power off, and reboot Galaxy Note 10, as well as Galaxy Note 10 recovery mode and the safe mode, are also covered.

Although Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ differs as explained in this post, the Side key on both phones are identical.

Where is the Power button on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy  Note 10+?

Samsung used to place the Power key (Power button) on the right side of the phone.

But as illustrated in the Galaxy Note 10 layout, there is no button on the right side of Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+.

Samsung actually moved the Power key to the left side and replaced the unpopular Bixby key. And they named it the Side key. This is one of the new features of Galaxy Note 10.

Of course, Samsung did not give up Bixby. They added one Bixby feature into the new Side key. For Bixby-haters, you can remove this Bixby feature (read on) and restore the Side key as the traditional Power key.

Functions of Galaxy Note 10 Side key

As mentioned, the Side key is a combination of the Power key and the Bixby key.

By default, the side key has the following functions:

  • When the phone is off, you can press and hold the Side key to power on Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+.
  • When the phone is off, you can hold Side key and volume

Galaxy Note 10 Layout

The layout of Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+

By Simon Leave a Comment · First published on: August 22, 2019 · Last Modified on: September 14, 2019

Galaxy Note 10 LayoutYou need to know Galaxy Note 10 layout if you want to use Galaxy Note 10 or Galaxy Note 10+ effectively.

With some new features of Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+,  like zoom-in microphone, in-display fingerprint reader, the new Side key (power button),  even a seasoned Galaxy Note owner may get a bit confused on some parts of the Galaxy Note 10.

This Galaxy Note 10 guide details the layout of both Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. All parts, ports, and buttons (keys) and their usage are explained as well.

Although the size of Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ are substantially different, the layout of the two phones is almost identical except one missing rear camera on Galaxy Note 10. So, in this post, after highlighting this difference, we will not differ Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

What are the differences between the layout of Galaxy Note 10 and the layout of Galaxy Note 10+

As explained in this guide, there are some differences between Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+. For example, Galaxy Note 10 is smaller. There is no micro SD card support on Galaxy Note 10. The screen resolution of Galaxy Note 10 is only up to 1080p.

But if you check the outside of the two phones, you may notice the main difference (actually the only difference except the dimensions and weight) is the rear camera module.

As shown below, Galaxy Note 10 has one additional camera. Samsung labeled it as DepthVision camera, which includes a camera lens and an infrared sensor.

Galaxy Note 10 layout explained

As shown in the illustration below, from the front view of Galaxy Note 10, you can find:

1. Touch screen

More than 90% of the front of t Galaxy Note 10 is occupied by the dynamic OLED screen.

Please note, in most regions, a plastic screen protector was pasted on the screen because most tempered glass screen protectors do NOT work with the in-display fingerprint sensor.

Where is the Galaxy Note 10 zoom-in mic?

The location of the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+

By Simon Leave a Comment · First published on: August 20, 2019 · Last Modified on: March 2, 2020

Many Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ owners are confused on the location of the zoom-in mic on the phone. Some owners mistakenly thought the top speaker as the zoom-in microphone.

This post shows you the exact location of the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+.

As explained in the top 10 new features of Galaxy Note 10, the zoom-in mic is one of the most interesting features you should try.

Zoom-in mic is not an invention of Samsung. HTC adopted a similar Sonic zoom in HTC U12+ in 2018. LG has implemented the similar feature of  “audio zoom”  since LG G2 in 2013.

But Galaxy Note 10 is the first Samsung phone with such a microphone.

Please note, although there are some differences between Galaxy Note 1o and Galaxy Note 10+, the zoom-in mic feature is identical on both phones. The location of the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are also identical.

So, where is the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10?

Do not confuse the top speaker with the zoom-in mic

Some reviewers pointed the finger to the top speaker vent hole as shown below. They thought this is the new zoom-in microphone.

But it is totally wrong!

As explained in the Galaxy Note 10 layout, the big hole in the top of Galaxy Note 10 is actually the vent of the second speaker.

Right to the top speaker, there is a microphone.

But this is a normal microphone, which is usually used for noise canceling when you are engaged in a call.  When you using the voice recorder in the interview mode, this microphone will focus on the interviewee.

Left to the speaker, it is the normal SIM card tray.

Galaxy Note 10 top speaker

Of course, on the bottom, there is another speaker. But this one is similar to the top one.

So, where does Samsung hide the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10?

It turns out the zoom-in mic on Galaxy Note 10 (and …

Galaxy Note 1o is a “lite” version of Galaxy Note 10+. It is not designed for existing Galaxy Note device owners. Instead, Samsung probably intended to use Galaxy Note 10 to attract new “S Pen” users who are currently using other middle-range Android phones.

Please note  Galaxy Note 10+ is NOT exceptionally larger compared to many other mainstream phones.  The curved the screen, thin bezel, and the 19:9 aspect ratio makes its physical dimensions just similar to other flagship phones.

Anyway, do not assume Galaxy Note 10 is large. Samsung actually reduced the width of the phone over the years. Both Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ are NOT very large.

Please note, in the Galaxy Note 10 box, there are no differences except the phone.

Galaxy Note 10 vs Galaxy Note 10+: Screen size and resolution

Both Galaxy Note 10 and 10+ use the top-tier OLED screen, which no other Android manufacturers can match.

Galaxy Note 10 has a 6.3″ screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2280 (1080p).

While Galaxy Note 10+ has a larger screen of 6.8″ with a resolution of 1440 x 3040 (1440p).…

In this post, I will summarize the top 10 new features of Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+, which are quite impressive and exciting. They include Samsung DeX for PC, updated video editor, native screen recorder, the new S Pen, 25w/45W Superfast charging, 3D scanner (Galaxy Note 10+ only, not released yet), wireless Powershare, AR doodle, zoom-in mic, and the night camera mode.

#1. Samsung DeX for PC: the best new feature of Galaxy Note 10

Samsung DeX, which was introduced in Galaxy S8 and later available on Galaxy Note 8, Note 9, S9,  S10, and now Note 10,  is probably the most useful innovation bringing Android to a bigger screen, It transforms your phone into an Android desktop when connected to a large screen.

For Galaxy S8 and Note 8, you need to use the DeX station to connect the phone to the external monitor.  The slimmer DeX Pad was introduced with Galaxy S9 and can be used on Galaxy S8 and Note 8 as well.

Galaxy S8 still needs a DeX Station or a DeX Pad to launch Samsung …

Galaxy Note 10 review: the death of Galaxy Note

Samsung is destroying Galaxy Note with Galaxy Note 10

By Simon 6 Comments · First published on: August 8, 2019 · Last Modified on: September 28, 2019

Galaxy Note 10 review: the death of Galaxy NoteWith the official announcement of Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+), many long-term Galaxy Note owners are disappointed, although there are many BS articles claiming how innovative and how exciting Galaxy Note 10 is. This is a no BS Galaxy Note 10 review from a long-term Galaxy Note owners who owned every Galaxy Note devices.

This Galaxy Note 10 review is an overall review about Galaxy Note 10 and Note 10+ (the difference between Note 10 and Note 10+ can be found here). The detailed review of the new features of Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+) is posted here. And the detailed review of the missing features of Galaxy Note 10 (and Note 10+) can be found here.

When the first Galaxy Note was announced in 2011, many are not convinced. They were correct, and they are still correct.

Galaxy Note is for a niche market where owners use two hands (instead of one) and like to use the S Pen to “write” (instead of touch). So, it is not for the mainstream phone users.  The screen size of the 5.3″ Galaxy Note is more than twice (actually 2.23 times, 81.4  vs. 36.5 cm²) of that on the 3.5″ inch mainstream phone (iPhone 4) in 2011.

The growing user community who enjoys the bigger screen helped Samsung lead the industry in adopting a bigger screen in the mainstream phones. Today, most smartphones have a screen larger than 5″.

But the success of Galaxy Note is not just the big screen.

The success of Galaxy Note is due to 1) Big screen, and 2) S Note

The early adopters of Galaxy Note consisted of two groups of buyers:

  1. People who prefer a big screen to read books/website, to play games or videos on the phone.
  2. People who like to write on the big screen with the S Pen.
