My Note 10 wont turn off when I press the power button!

I try holding and even just pressing the power button and it wont turn off. It keeps going straight to Bixby. What gives?

Hold power button and volume down button. That can be changed in settings.

It looks like you have to pull down the notification panel to power off: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-turn-galaxy-note-10

EDIT: Sorry, posted at same time as rsmin above. That's also a method, and there are a couple others mentioned in the article.

I figured it out earlier, but only because I remember reading about it in a different thread here. Gotta say, this is going to be a problem for your average user that doesn't hang out on phone forums that's trying to turn their phone off to go on an airplane or whatever. They'll be really frustrated

Not necessarily. People don't always read the manual, and get used to doing things a certain way. Since the Note10 combines Bixby with the Power button, they had to modify how to power off. If I picked up the Note10 for the first time and tried to power off without knowing anything else about the phone, I'd probably run into the same problem (which of course would've prompted me to do a web search on just how the heck to power off the phone).

What brilliance in engineering. Take a Bixby button most don't want, and then make it necessary to use to power off. Good lock ought to be able to create a dl where the power button can work on its own.

Pretty sure it's right in the settings where you can change that... Can someone who got their note confirm? If not I will this afternoon when mine arrives...

Yah, that button is now dual purpose Bixby/power. You have to go to Settings to custom configure to be a power button.

I was worries I bought the plus and thought it might be too big I was wrong.

I'll confirm this does work this way
