Once you've saved a screen memo (like a shopping list in my case - I saved it by accident by inserting the s-pen), can you still get it back on your screen off memo? Now when I take my s-pen out with the screen off, I get a blank memo. I really wish there was a way to get it back to the screen off memo so I could use it while shopping without using much battery or opening my phone. Thoughts?
you can pin it clicking pin icon, recall later double clicking the pin, but if your main concern is battery, well the phone is running, screen is on regardless if it's full on or in screen off memo mode and background apps are running, so not much of a difference. You're better off picking up dark theme and dark wallpapers and have lower battery usage screen off or not. If you want to be really scientific about it, download program to monitor and record battery usage, write on paper what time what mode your phone was and what was battery drain exactly and compare. Personally, I think there are much more effective ways to save battery, like above mentioned dark theme or manually killing unused apps.

But once it's been saved and it's only found in your Samsung notes, can you still pin it? I don't see the option.
A black screen would certainly be way less battery than the white one, but really it's about convenience. I can not even unlock my screen and still get to my grocery list versus having to unlock it. Small thing I know, but it is definitely more convenient when pinned.
Sorry, I don't know if and how you can pin already saved note to AOD display.

Seems like you can't.
That's annoying. It's as if you can't put your s-pen away for fear of the auto save.
I think the original idea was to have a way to make quick hand note, like writing somebody's phone number you just met on the street, or quick memo at the meeting and I used it in such a way many times, nothing more. You can pin saved note to the home screen and reach it there easily, after opening the phone. One reason your idea may never be implemented could be security, you never know what important info people could have there and having that info so visible may be against current trend of securing things. You may use it for nothing more than shopping list, but for example I used it to write complicated passwords to bank accounts and computer networks etc.
Also, it seems screen off memo is Samsung Note series exclusive feature, so it may be trial and error for them to figure what exactly people want and do with it. Taking away Action memo and it's advanced features, which was available on older Notes and no more suggests to me they still trying to figure it out.

I agree, in general.
I saw people suggesting in reviews that it could be used as a grocery list and I liked the idea. I saw one review showing someone using it at the store actually. Maybe it was staged.
Hi,
I setup my Samsung Account and it says under services that I have Find My Mobile.
I go to the find my mobile website and login and it has my 2 other Galaxy Tab Tablets listed but not my phone.
I look at setup tutorials and the say goto lock screen and security but my settings has a "Lockscreen" and a "Biometrics and Security" sub menu.
Under the Biometrics and Security there is a Find My Device which is set to on and when I tap that I get a page that has the slider for on and below it it says ways to locate device:
options are:
Find my Device
get it on google play
Web
Visit android.com/finf
Google Search "find my Device"
What is going on?
I am a little freaked out.
As I understand it if you use lock like pattern lock that through Samsung's Find My Mobile site you can reset the login if you run into trouble. I almost did run into trouble right after I finish setting the Note 9 up after 3 hours, I restarted it when I put in my Memory Card and my pattern was not working. Got to where I had 3 tries left. I turned it off reset the sim card and the memory card in the holder and it worked. There have been other times where it did not recognize the pattern once or twice but did finally. Not sure if with the curved screen my hand was touching the screen and that caused a problem or what but. I need the phone locked and I need Samsung's Find My Mobile with it's unlocking feature for piece of mind.
One article on seting it up a comment said they were told it was not available on the Verizon version. True not true?
What am I doing wrong to set it up.
I had lookout installed but removed that.
I also have Teamviewer Host and the Samsung Host Plugin for Teamviewer installed is that interfering?
I need a fallnback way to unlock if the initial one fails.
Thank You.
Hi,
Stupid request, is there anyway to sort contacts by last name ? Can't seem to find an option for it on the default app and I installed Google Dialer / Contacts and they don't want to do it either. They show by surname first, but still sort by first name ...
It's driving me nuts.
Thanks

Where is that screenshot from ? Samsung or Google Dialer ?
Cannot find the setting in Samsung one and Google displays last names first, but does not sort by it.

I had the same issue before the update.
I think this is a regional variation. I have an S10 sourced from Hong Kong and I have checked with the local Samsung support desk and they say sorting contacts by last name is not an option.

I have a dual-sim S10+ (G9750) and I have the same issue — the option to sort contacts is physically removed from Samsung's contacts app. Moreover, even when using Google's own contacts app that still has the option to sort by last name, there is no effect — whichever sorting option you choose, it still sorts all contacts by first name.
Now, I thought I could easily solve the issue by flashing some other regional ROM, but it turns out that dual-sim options in China and Hong Kong (G9750 vs G975FD) actually come in Snapdragon variant, as opposed to dual-sim Exynos variants in Europe or elsewhere. As much as I prefer Snapdragon variant, I now cannot flash any stock rom for Exynos dual-sim variants, thus being stuck with first name only sorting for contacts.
I cannot fathom why would anyone remove such an option, especially for international versions of a flagship phone.
I have found a way to change that. Go to Settings - Apps - Contacts, then hit the "gear" button in the upper right corner and there you can find "sort by" and "show first".
No it doesn't work on a HK region based s10, the option is not there ?

On Android 11, One UI 3.1 still has this problem? Today I noticed that I do not have the options "Sort contacts by" and "Name format".
Can the problem still be solved in Settings->Applications? I can not make it! Can you give me a print screen?
Application version: 12.1.10.42.
Thx.

At least I am not the only one... I have a international Dual sim S20 Ultra.
Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G G9880 12gbRam 256GB
There is no option in the contacts menu to sort contacts at all. I want to sort by last name.
Tried https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S20/phone-does-not-have-a-way-to-reorder-contacts/td-p/13...
Does not work for me. NO "Sort by" option in the menu. What fool forgot a sort function ???
Nor is there an app I can find that sorts the phone's contacts.
Please help.

Are there no stock USA roms for the Snapdragon ? G9880 owner.
I am in the USA
I use Google Contacts. I do not use Samsung apps. They are garbage.
I have my S10+ and s S20 Ultra.
So, to further complicate the issue,
if I setup my contacts correctly according to Google contacts on my computer, putting the correct info into the correct blank spaces.... I get last name first and company names in alphabetical order but ALL of my Doctors are listed under the letter D "Dr. ______ , _________"
But on My S10 they all listed properly including Doctors in alphabetical order last name first.
As Expected, My S20 Ultra can not sort anything. Its first name or prefix first. I was hoping the recent upgrades to Android 11 or 12 would fix this. The updates did nothing.
So, to find and be able to search for any contact on three different platforms I now have resorted to making redundant contacts.
In google contacts:
1. I have a correct list, putting the correct info into the correct blank spaces
2, I have the same contacts also listed backwards, putting the last name in the first name slot and vice versa.
3. I abuse the File AS slot depending on the type of contact for Doctors I list "Last, Dr. First - Type of doctor." For personal names I do not use the Save as slot, For businesses. I put the familiar version of the company name in the Save As slot and the true company name on the "Company” slot.
4. Every contact must have at least one nonidentical duplicate/ Different enough so the Auto merge function, which I HATE, does not recognize similar contacts. This is done with adding spaces and carriage returns in the middle of Names, phone numbers, email addresses etc.
I do end up with nearly triple the contacts but I can always find and in needed search for what I need.
Plus, Google is well known to auto merge or delete contacts. It happens to me a lot. But since my contacts are redundant, they never delete both or all three versions of any one contact.
I also shut off the auto sync and only add new contacts when I am on my computer. Google differentiates a contact entered on a cellphone from one entered on a computer.
Contacts entered on a cellphone may only be local and may not be shared with other phones you own. But contacts entered on a computer ARE shared with all phones on an account.
Nope this helps.
@mrgcav I'm not sure if you're asking a question or not, or what your question is. But, I wanted to point out that I use the Google phone app (which includes the contacts within it). In there, you can change the settings (3 dots menu) and set the display options to do first/last or last/first as you desire.
I would agree that having this to deal with would be annoyed with, but I find I just search for what I want, and that eliminates most of my issues with using it. Searching finds the name first or last without issue, so it makes it much faster and easier to find. I never scroll to find contact names... I have far too many (my cell is actually running my company as well, so I have 2 numbers (cell + google voice work number) and contacts in both sides, and this searches through both accounts without issue. If I really wanted, I can find business-only contacts by going to the GV app and searching there, too... point is, I don't scroll there either.
If you have read all my posts then you know my problem. My most recent reply yesterday was my workaround solution of the problem.
I m glad to heat you have something that works for you. But in my case it does not apply.
Because my phone is different than yours. You probably have a locked corporate carrier trackable phone. The data on most phones is not private and google in their user agreement says they have a right to copy any data you have on your phone. Google will share with Police and government agencies and sell your data. to anyone.
I have unlocked Samsung untrackable (nearly) phones. Google cannot copy my data unless I let them. My phone, My data. Google is always asking me for access to my media and files on my phones. It is annoying. Google apps will turn themselves on and off at will even if disabled.
Example: I do not use google Translate. I used it once and deleted it. It reappeared and I have not been abel to delete it since. I have it "Disabled" but it runs in the background trying to collect data anyway.
Anyway.
Under the three dots I do not have sorting functions as I mentioned previously, Nor does sorting solve the Sir name prefix problem such as "Dr."
I search as well but before using my workaround the search would not find all instances fo what I queried.
Then there is the fact that google deleted contacts. Which I also solved.
So maybe I need to explain it better, assuming you read it thoroughly.
You can think you're not being tracked, but if you're using the internet in any way, you can be tracked, period. I'm not saying your efforts aren't worthwhile, but I don't think just installing/disabling/removing apps will get you where you want to be (you need to have a far deeper control of the OS to get there). Regardless, feel free to carry on with your intentions... good luck.
Anyway, I think you're still asking for a way to sort contacts. Assuming that's the case, my point is that many apps can offer that functionality, so you should be able to find one that meets your needs. I recall I had used one in the past called DialerOne and that one seemed to have lots of options like the ability to sort by first or last name. I simply used the Google phone app as an example, really.
I agree, I'm not fully understanding what you're looking to accomplish with this particular thread. I would like to help, so if you want to explain, I'm happy to continue to try.
I don't know that I can even intelligibly explain what is happening at this point, so I recorded a video clip and uploaded it to my Google Photos. But, I will try to explain first.
I have been using an LG G6 for about 1.5 years (current OS is Android 8.0.0). On that phone, in Settings > Display > Comfort View, which has a Blue light filter that I have scheduled to come on at 9pm and go off at 7am.
I bought a Galaxy S10 yesterday and started the set up with no SIM. I just connected to my Wi-Fi and signed in using the Google account that I use on my LG. During the set up, it said something about copying over whatever settings it could (Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth, etc.) and it would install the last known installed devices. That all seemed to go fine.
Today, I was going through my new S10 - learning some of it's features and disabling and enabling things based upon YouTube reviews. I went into Settings > Display > Screen mode > and enabled Vivid, but did NOT touch the Cool/Warm slider, or even go into the Advanced settings. As I continued playing with the new phone, at 9pm my screen suddenly went kind of an orange colour, i.e., no blue. This wasn't a complete shock at first because my LG has been doing this for over a year as per my "Comfort View" preferences. However, I then realized that I never explicitly set anything up like this on my S10.
After playing around with the S10's settings, I found that if I set the Screen mode back to Natural, the orange filtering goes away, however, I liked the more saturated look of the Vivid, so I put Vivid back on.
I then went into my date/time settings and changed to a time zone where it was still not 9pm and as soon as I do that, the orange filtering fades away and it is back to normal.
So... where the heck is my S10 getting this scheduled preference from?! I never went in and set and preference of "9pm" to change my screen colour filtering.
Here is a video of it in action: photos . app . goo . gl / 2P9t94WLWqwAmKhA8 - I can't post a direct link as I don't have enough posts under my belt yet
Any ideas?!
Oh my... after more searching, I found a post that it is a setting in Google Play Books that you can only get to when you open a book called "Night Light", that I never turned on. You need to open Google Play Books, then open a book, the tap the upper and lower case 'Aa' which gets you into the settings for while you are reading a book. Thank you, Internet.
Yep. There was a thread as well about this, where myself and another person where having something similar. It was that we decided to restore the settings and the night light setting came over from our previous phone.
Samsung is hidding the default night light setting and replacing with their own without actually removing all the framework code. So you can still enable it with a activity launcher.
I've been playing around with some of the settings regarding the Korean Model's Dual Screen. This Thread is just meant to discuss what I've found.
Dual Home Launcher:
The Dual Screen has its own launcher, to which the Dual Screen will always return when the "Home" button is taped on the Dual Screen. There is no option to set a "Default Launcher" for the Dual Screen. Of the standard launcher options preinstalled on the main device, the Dual Home Launcher most closely resembles the "Home & App Drawer" launcher, but is its own environment.
The Dual Screen can load a different launcher as you would load a typical app, but the home button will always take your back to the Dual Home Launcher. A different launcher can be assigned as the "Dual App" (the app that automatically loads whenever the dual screen is turned on) but again, the home button will still take your back to the Dual Home Launcher. Additionally, when a "Dual App" is assigned, they Dual App will automatically be brought to the forefront whenever the device is brought back from "screen off", opened from a closed state, or returned from the 360° opened, second screen off position. Basically, using a Dual App is an annoying option, and it doesn't work to assign a different launcher for the dual screen anyways.
I have discovered that is possible to open the Dual Home Launcher on the main screen. To do it, you need Nova Launcher or Action Launcher on your system, or a similar Launcher that adds an "activities" widget. In the activities widget's apps list, you will find the Dual Home Launcher as as n app, and the primary launcher activity can be used to bring it up on the primary screen. As usual, if you got home on the dual screen, it just moves the application over to that screen.
I'm interested in testing with the disabling of the Dual Home Launcher App, per this method: https://www-xda--developers-com.cdn...ers.com/disable-system-app-bloatware-android/, but I have no idea what it would do. Too bad I can't make a TWRP backup first. I'm also interested in the idea of spoofing the app's name in the system to make the device think that a third party launcher is the Dual Home Launcher and basically set THAT launcher as the default Dual Screen launcher. In particular, I think Lucid Launcher, AIO Launcher, or WX Launcher would be good Default Dual Screen Launchers, per my tastes, but I think having Lawnchair on the Dual Screen next to Nova Prime would probably be a popular setup.
Tasker:
The App Tasker has had zero efforts in it's development for dual screen compatibility, as far as I can tell. Events triggered to bring up apps or things like that will have their action committed on whichever screen is active at the time, basically, whichever screen you've used last.
To demonstrate what I mean, as a test, I've loaded up a simple "torch" app on both screens that has one function, a single tap on the screen will make the screen change from white to Black, or black to White. If you tap the second screen, it changes, then you tap the primary screen, "nothing" happens and it requires a second tap to change the color is the main screen. Then, tap the second screen again, and it takes two taps to cause the app's function. When you are using one screen, your first touch on the other screen doesn't activate anything, just changes the focus of the device to that screen, whereupon you can begin making touch inputs on that screen. The screen that you're on, that you've used last, is your active screen. This is the screen that Tasker will commit actions on, regardless of which environment triggers the event. There is no option in the Tasker Dialogues to choose which screen something will target. I haven't experimented with it much at this time, but I'm certain that this could cause bugs and failed triggers if you have triggers try to target an environment in which an app that would be expected to be forefront is not there. I haven't experimented much yet, but I've been attempting to make contact with the Developers of Tasker, to add a screen targetting plugin, and to add "Secondary Display on", "Secondary Display off", and "Secondary Display Load App" as selectable event triggers. I've been on the Tasker Forums, and someone recommended I explore the methods on here: https://forum.joaoapps.com/index.ph...ings-to-use-in-autotools-secure-settings.210/ to try and find the variables for Secondary Display On/Off at least, and I'm hopeful that there might be a way to shift focus to one screen or the other as part of a series of actions, which would allow an app to be loaded on a specific screen. I'm interested to see what can be done in this regard.
"Island" App:
The App "island" is a very interesting project that is still under development. When you install it, it requests the permissions and then takes you through the setup of a "Work" App Environment, and installs to it another copy of the Google Play Store. Basically, this Play Store is the same as your normal Play Store, and should be linked up to the same Google Account. The App's icon gets a little Briefcase on it to signify that it's a Work app, and you have to set up a second Pin, Knock Code or Password for it (I'm not sure if this can be the same it not. I made mine different). When you load it, it asks for the code, and then opens a normal looking play store, except none of your apps are downloaded yet. Any app that you download with this play store get that same little Briefcase icon, and exist as "Work" apps, which basically lets you install two copies of any app.
Some limitations: any Launchers that you attempt to download within the Work Environment will only include Work Environment Apps within their app drawers. Normal, or "personal" environment Launchers, however, DO show Work Environment Apps next to their regular, "Personal" Environment counterparts. "Work" Launchers do not appear in the "default launcher selection" dialogues. Widget's are funky too. Work Environment Apps that have widgets do not have them become available universally, the way that normal apps do. Work Environment Launchers with widgets, for instance, can only load those widgets within that launcher. Basically, "Work" dual loaded Launchers just aren't a great idea.
Island also adds another APK installer, do you can install any downloaded apk in the work environment. I haven't tested installing an alternative app store in the work environment, but I would imagine that one would still install apps from it into the Work Environment as well. Untested theory though.
Using island, you can load to copies of, say, social media apps, and then have both apps running at the same time, one on one display, the other on the other, whereas, normally trying this would just cause the app to jump over to that screen, rather than dual booting. In most cases, you can log in the same account, or a different account, on the two screens. Be actively watching two different Discord servers on your device, from one single account, for instance, if you'd like.
Island is a little funky in certain regards, as it's still in development, but I've gotta say, it works very well at this point. And it basically makes every app in existence dual screen compatible.
I haven't tried installing a Qslide app in the Work Environment yet. I'm intrigued, now that I'm thinking about it.
Shoot, I've written a serious mini novel here. I guess I'll stick a bookmark in it here for now. I'll keep this Thread up to date on what I've discovered though. I've got a few avenues that I want to explore.
Hi,
That's a fascinating piece, especially as Sky Go in the UK, won't play for me on the V50.
There is a theory that as it's effectively casting to the second screen Sky Go blocks the TV content.
Of course it may just be an Android 9 system issue?
Still working on exactly what's going on.
I have taken the V50 out off the Dual screen case but it makes no difference.
The island app may possibly be another avenue to pursue.
Any advice or comment would be most welcome.
Again a most interesting post.

Can you search 'dual screen' on setting?
Search dual screen in settings
No, but you can find the options relating to the dual screen feature by using a shortcut app to find the hidden options, and create a home screen shortcut if necessary. Idk what you can use em for, but they are buried in the system somewhere.

I have a model I bought off ebag that says its an LG V50, V450VM. I updated it over the air on verizon and the multiple updates went though no problem, the box was all in Chinese for the most part, says made in china and it has the 3 pogo pin connection on the back of the case. Will the second screen work with this model, whatever the hell it really is? It seems to work just fine on Verizon and like I said, it updated flawlessly.

I have a model I bought off ebag that says its an LG V50, V450VM. I updated it over the air on verizon and the multiple updates went though no problem, the box was all in Chinese for the most part, says made in china and it has the 3 pogo pin connection on the back of the case. Will the second screen work with this model, whatever the hell it really is? It seems to work just fine on Verizon and like I said, it updated flawlessly.

PS : if the dualscreen is not working due to V450VM ROM maybe you can use LG UP do flash a V500N ROM ... hopefully the "bands" are compatible with verizon ... also you may ask on reddit or telegram : https://android.fandom.com/wiki/V50_ThinQ ...
Hi Pierro, so I have my second screen with the pogo pins in it now. It sadly does not seem to work with Verizon, when I snap the phone into it, I get nothing. Perhaps I will try flashing a different software on it as you suggested......
Here's the only reliable way I could find to do it. It's a tiny bit quirky but it works great.
LG Dual Screen Launcher
I have an idea You can try installing some launchers (like Niagara for example) And then set it to launch the app launcher automatically when opening the dual screen. Hope it works for you
