Can you pin a regular note to the lock screen? - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I find the ability to pin a screen off memo to the AOD very useful, cause I get quite busy at work and tend to forget to follow up with things, and this kind of forces me to see it. However, screen off memo seems a little finicky in terms of how long it stays up for, making sure my screen is actually locked when I pull out the pen, etc. Sometimes if I have the phone already on and I want to pin a note, I have to lock it, put the pen in, then pull the pen back out just to get screen off memo to activate.
Is there a way to just pin any note I make in samsung notes to the AOD? This would be a lot more usable in many situations.

I also am looking for a solution to this. My scenario is very similar to yours.
The closest option I could find was pinning a note to the home screen.
I am hoping this is just a minor oversight by Samsung and the function may be added in something like "SmartLock"

Activate screen off memo by locking screen while spen is out and double tapping it by spen button pressed.
Always worked for me. No need to reinsert spen.
Neat feature to add multiple screen off memos too.

Ya? I cant get that to work. Two taps doesn't do anything.
I did note that you can change the Note Type in the Notes app. I changed one to a screen off memo but I still cant get it on lock screen :crying:

It one click of the spen button if your spen is already out and you turn off the screen. Make sure the spen is hovering over the screen or it will just try to unlock your phone.

This works. Also, if you already have a pinned note, it can be edited by just tapping the note with the s pen.

Stylus Detection Delay

I have tried googling for help but all I get are links about styli being inserted the wrong way, very frustrating and dumb. However, I am having an issue with my stylus not being detected when I remove it. Its very intermittent. Like sometimes the screen detects the stylus cursor but the air commands show up after a minute. It makes the screen off note taking useless cause it doesn't even trigger that. I have never inserted the stylus wrongly.
Anyone in same boat? What do I do?
Yes. I also have same problem in my Note 5. What I did, I disabled Power saving option in Stylus settings and now it always works. Although the off-screen note feature still doesnt work immediately as the phone takes a few moments in detecting the stylus.
A friend was talkiing about this to me one day... I'll ask him tomorrow when I see him what he did.

I disabled the power saving too, its a bit better but the screen on memo still takes almost a minute to work. Defeats the purpose of having the feature.

AT&T fingerprint scanner wakeup

Ok I'm feeling a little dumb lol. On thr AT&T variant, the fingerprint sensor is not waking up the device when locked and screen off. Am I just missing a setting somewhere?
The international version works just fine to wake up and unlock screen, but the AT&T version doesn't.
Any input?
Works for me

My att note 8 works as expected with this. Maybe a setting i forgot about enabling. Perhaps power save more disables this ? Are you using power save?
Edit- tested with power save. This doesn't seem to be the culprit.
Ok there's a setting where you scan in your prints. It's a toggle you must enable. That should do the trick.

Yup it's under lock screen and security then smart Lock. You wanna select the first option and it should automatically unlock to home screen when using your fingerprint.

The only way I could get it to work was to set screen to lock immediately with power button. Can't remember the exact setting title, but I think it's Settings/secure lock settings
Basically if you set the screen to lock as soon as it turns off it'll trigger the fingerprint to turn on screen immediately.
It worked!!! Thank you very very much. Really appreciate it. I was one step farther to return the phone.

I just wanted to say thanks. I flashed my unlocked Note8 with the AT&T firmware to see if it is worth the bloat. On the unlocked firmware I never had to make that change, it was always on. I don't know why I didn't think to check that setting and I don't know why AT&T would set it to ten minutes, there are so many things that can happen in ten minutes. Thanks!

whats ur unlock config?

Hi guys. Just wondering what peoples unlock set up is.
I have face recognition and pattern. Even though my hands are big enough i find the finger print scanner to be too much effort. I heard the retina scanner draws a lot of power so i dont use that.
I find the unlock pattern a bit of a nuisance and i get a little frustrated when the facial recognition doesnt work. Sony managed to put the print scanner on the side of their phine im sure samsung could have fit one in the space below the screen..... every method apart from the basic ones require you to pick up the phone.
So what are your unlock preferences?
My Pebble 2 as a trusted device. When I'm with my phone it's therefore unlocked
Fingerprint/pin unlock after 10 min, secure startup (pin).
Fingerprint for me it took like what half hour for me to get used to it being on the back of the phone
fingerprint is way quicker than any other unlock

None? I feel like I might be opening myself to bad things, but I like to just press hard on the bottom of the screen and boom, I'm into my phone.

If you've got nothing to hide and don't store any unencrypted sensitive data on your phone, then that's definitely the fastest option.
I use my Huawei watch as a trusted device. This allows a hard press of the home button and I'm in.

P10 how disable wake-up by home button

How to disable the home button when the screen is locked? The screen now activates when you touch the home button (finger reader) - later phone can be unlock by PIN or finger, but how to disable screen wake up by this butto?. I would like to block this possibility so that the screen wakes up only by pressing the on / off button.
Your P10 does this?
I tried it on my P10 a second ago. My phone only vibrates when I tap the homebutton with a finger or part of my skin which isn't getting recognized by the phone. But the screen stays of.
Which version are you on? I'm on VTR-L29C432B162
i have VTR-L29C432B151, and a wanne disable it, because it is very annoying.
Dude, you really don't understand how fingerprint scanner with its features works...
Workaround: just don't tap on that area

When you deactivate the fingerprint reader to unlock your device(settings/fingerprint/screen unlock), then when you tap on the reader, when the device is locked, the screen turns on.
I personally use fingerprint to unlock my device, but have another complain and that is, when i want to check my lock screen for missed calls/recieved messages i have to take the device to my hand and push the on/off button.
would be great to have double tap to wake function.

You misunderstand. I'm having this same grievance as it's so easy to knock the scanner when moving the phone that the next movement then swipes to unlock it and the next thing you know you're opening apps and tapping stuff.
I don't give two hoots about fingerprint scanners as they are inherently insecure so I will never use mine. I'd like the ability to disable it completely so it doesn't even act as a button.

You're using a password that you carry on your person at all times, is always visible, and can't be changed. If someone steals your phone they just need to grab your hand and put it on the reader to have full access.

Do you really think that someone would steal your phone and your hand just to unlock your device? Ok maybe if you are a bilionaire or presdent of the united states...
The same i can say about unlock pins or gestures ..they need just to put you under drugs and you will tell them the code.
Same as with iris scanner, they just need your phone and your eye .
Too paranoic in my opinion. There is way higher probability that you would die in car accident or airplane accident than someone stelas your phone and your hand . 99% of stolen phones are stolen beacuse of value of the device, not because someone would spend hours to get into your device.
But anyway it is your opinion ...

Indeed.
So, getting back on track, does anyone know a way to disable the fingerprint reader in its entirety? I suspect this may only be possible with a custom-ROM or at the very least root access.
Besides it makes no sense, I think there is no oficial way to completly deactivate the fingerprint reader.

Does your Note 9 on One UI have double tap to wake?

I'm still on a Tmobile Note 8 and just got the One UI update today and was so disappointed to find that it doesn't have the 'double tap to wake' feature. I always thought this update would bring this feature. As I walked into a Tmobile store couple weeks ago and confirmed this feature was on a S10 so I thought this update would do it. Anyway, just wanted to know if any of you Note 9 owners who have the One UI update have this feature? if so, that would be awesome, and will get a Note 9 soon; if not, hmmm don't know, will just keep using my Note 8, thanks!!

Honest question, why would you need that when there's the soft, pressure-sensitive home button? Doesn't it do the same thing, with one less tap?
because when I'm driving, I could easily wake it up by tapping anywhere on the screen. it's not that simple finding the home screen button when you are driving now that there's no hardware button. I know I shouldn't be touching the phone at all but at times there's still a need to. sure, I can unlock it with google and do some things (and bixby I think but haven't try it yet), but it's not the same as google is waiting for me to tell it to do something.

I see. I personally don't think it's tricky to press on the soft home button while driving (it's not that fussy about where you tap), but I use Android Auto while driving so my screen is always on anyway.

OP, you could try decreasing sensitivity of the button. Feels just like tapping plus having a dedicated area.
I'd your use case is while driving, a recommend turning on 'Skip Lock Screen' and adding your car's Bluetooth to trusted devices. This way, you need only a tap on the button and you can go directly to the home screen surpassing your lock screen and the need to scan fingerprint.
Also, did you know you can double tap any notification to wake screen. Enabling 'Skip Lock Screen' as mentioned above will route you to the app directly when you double tap it.
Hope this helps.

Coming from a OnePlus 3T, I do miss DT2W as well. Sitting in a meeting, in a bus, on a plane or in the car - you never have to "search for the right spot", you can just tap on the (dark) screen in order to wake it up.
I really miss it. Once you get used to it, you´re lost.
Hi. There is Fast Wake (not sure about translation, i have another language) by Double Tap options in Accessiblility menu.
