Ok I see people's problems setting up their phones but teething problems aside do you have any gripes or are you missing any features from previous phones???

I have one gripe and that's the notification LED, I miss that very much and I hope we get some sort of update that give us that ring around the front cam to light up
I know there are apps that try to do this but they seem to quit after initial notification.

I don't really miss the LED as it was never something I looked for. But it would occasionally grab my attention. However, the AOD notifications were something I looked for more often. I feel like they could pretty easily make a seeing that would occasionally blink the AOD notifications instead. For other functions like charge indicator, I think a more visible lightning bolt could be enough. They could blink that a little more brightly too.

It's still early (for me) but if I were to pick one thing, it would be that the S-Pen is a little smaller making it just a little harder to grip.

More an annoyance with Verizon than the phone but wishing Hiya was preloaded like on the unlocked versions. Got so used to it on my unlocked S10+ and now I'm missing it being baked right into the Samsung dialer on the Verizon Note 10+

I miss being able to do a lock screen note and it goes straight to the intended app. Write a phone number it went to the contacts. Write a Url it goes straight to the web. Note 7 is RIP

I do miss the LED notification light. I am playing around with edge lighting and AOD for notifications. But I fear screen burn if I keep the AOD on all the time.

The most annoying this for me is that when the phone is plugged into the charger, the green battery icon along with the words 100% fully charged NEVER go away. Yes, thanks for letting me know the phone is fully charged, but I don't need that on there ALL the time when the phone is plugged in. I have tried every trick to make it go away, but I have given up.

Have you tried unplugging the phone?

I just got the phone today. My issue is not really a gripe. It's just something I have to get used to and that's the power button being on left. I automatically feel for it on the right. I'm also still wanting to do the fps on the back.

This! I traded in my Note 8 for this phone. I'm constantly trying to find the power button know the right and unlock my phone with the finger scanner on the back.

I too miss the notification light. AOD can use the camera ring, but I'll wait to see if there are any adverse effects of that from other users before I use it regularly on mine.

I've looked for ways of disabling the fully charged notification as well.

Unplugging the phone is a viable option unless of course you're charging it after going to bed for the night.

The Note 4 was a great phone. For a long time it was my favorite Note. The N10+ looks to dethrone it. :)
Haha.. Only one other Note has a special place bc it was my first..

Had aod on with my note 8 for two years and never had any screen burn issues.
