I think that is what you are looking for.

Thanks, this is what I get there:

Call Verizon

I did and they weren't much help. They want to send me a refurbished phone. Then I called Samsung because I bought it from them and they were worse. They want me to bring it to a service center. Ugh! Bad week for this! I have surgery in 6 days and doctors calling and info on my phone that I need.

The long press on the home key now works for bringing up the Google assistant.

You ever get it figured out? Try just restarting the phone?

No, it just keeps rebooting. I can't turn it off, restart it or reset it. Nothing works. It's an endless reboot loop. I am waiting for the battery to die to see if I can do anything then.

Try holding the power button for 30 seconds, if it turns off go into recovery by powering back off them hold pkwer/volume up to get into recovery and do factory reset

It won't turn off. This is so frustrating.

Strange , hold the power button little longer?

I don't think that VZW has enabled it on the Note20 yet.

Once the battery died I was able to put it into Recovery Mode (volume up/power) and the only thing it would let me do is a factory reset, so that's where I am now, but at least my phone is working. And I have all my backups so it's just a pain in the rear at this point, but I have my phone back. I'm a little funny about updating the OS now though.

I bet! Glad you got your phone back.

My N20U is still bugging me about updating to 11, but I think I'll postpone that a bit until these issues die down.

Glad to hear that, strange some have this issue with OTA updates , but I've heard some that run into it . At leasteverything was backed up.

Well, not backed up, apparently. I just made a new post about my new SD card problem.

Oh no , no back up with smart switch on pc or Samsung cloud ?

I thought I did but I must be doing something wrong. Really, at this point, I just want the backup of my Blackberry password keeper.

My update was very smooth and I'm happy with 11.
