So I took the plunge and traded in my iPhone X for the Note 10+ 512gb
Sure, there are a few differences, but overall, I'm in love with my new Note.
I have a few questions to help my transition though, and I'm hoping someone here can ease my frustrations as I'm assuming it's simple settings that I never had to worry about with the iPhone.
First: This will sound silly and basic, but a phone is, well, an actual phone. So my first frustration is that when I'm on a phone call, when I pull the phone away from my ear, the screen remains turned off. On the iPhone, the screen turns on as soon as you pull it from your face.
This is important so you can a) hang up the call, b) open the number pad to make selections, and c) turn on speakerphone.
But on the Note, this simply isn't the case. The screen remains off, so now I have to fumble around and try to turn the screen on with a frustrated routine of tapping on the screen while cussing, hitting side button while cussing, trying to see if it's looking at my phone for faceID or passcode or fingerprint to turn the damn screen on.
Perfect, screen is finally on... now where in the F is the actual phone call I'm in? It opens to home screen, NOT the actual phone that I'm using. And you can't click the phone icon, you (from what I'm seeing) have to swipe down from the notification bar and touch the phone call you're in.
There's no way that it has to be this painful to press 1 for english or hang up a call.
Is there a setting for this?
Second: Unlocking the screen to use your phone. On iPhone, you simply pick the phone up and it automatically scans for your face and unlocks the phone... simply by picking it up and looking at it. No swiping, no buttons, no nothing.
Is there an easier way to unlock the Note 10?
If I have fingerprint enabled, I have to pick up phone, touch screen to turn it on, place thumb on sensor, then it unlocks. That's 3 steps instead of simply picking a phone up.
If I have faceID on, then from what I'm finding out, do I simply click the side button to turn it on and it scans face? Cause if I don't hit that button, it doesn't. No amount of tapping the screen will make the sensor scan for my face.
Thanks everyone. I know these are probably n00b questions, but hey, I'm switching platforms, so I am a n00b. haha
