Only real alternative is the Whitestone (££) . I read on XDA some one asked Samsung support about replacing the factory fitted protector and can you buy one. reply was "only available at a service center "

Which seems weird, as I thought that the phone didn't have an internal DAC and all audio passed through the USB-C port had to have their own DAC chips in the cables.
What could they have possibly improved unless they had messed something up in the first place.
So, turns out the September update broke the proximity sensor for AoD.
Had two phones, one with the latest update and one that was stock. With card placed over the sensors on the stock phone turned off the display as it should, the other one would just dim. I updated the working one to September and lo and behold both exhibit the same issue now.
GG Samsung, you'd think after all the proximity problems with the S10 they'd be wary of breaking it on the Note10 as well.

Have you tried clearing the cache just in case its conflict of some sort ?
You mean application cache data under device care?
Just tried that, didn't do anything.
Sorry I meant in recovery mode
1. Turn off phone
2. Press and hold v0l up + power button till phone vibrates release buttons.
3. Scroll till you find clear cache(using vol up/dwn to scroll and power button to select) and press clear
4. Scroll back to reboot
If doesn't fix it I log a bug with Samsung member's app
That makes more sense. Gave it a go and still nothing, yeah.
Tried that on the older one that used to work. Nope, still doesn't turn off and I can activate the screen.

Battery life is not impressing me at the moment, my note 10 is lucky to last a day without a couple of injections of juice.
Is there any sort of guide to improve it?
Came from a note8, and it’s battery life is worse as far as I can tell!

What are your battery stats as in : SOT and app usage etc
My Note 8 had a great battery, easily managing 4-8 hours of SoT. My Note 9 has never topped 5 hours (not entirely sure it's broken 4 hours
), though it typically does have a better standby time and will last me the day. Every major Android update doesn't seem to improve it (usually the same or actually worse). I wonder if the SoC (SnapDragon vs Exynos) issue a couple of generations back still plays a part?Can you point to the setting exactly please? Assume you can turn this on and off on a Note 9 as well.

Settings > bio-metrics and security > location(near bottom) > improve accuracy > turn off scanning for wifi + Bluetooth
Same for Note 9

3:37 for screen is 24%
Thanks
Yup - 4 hours SoT with 9% left, most of my day usage was on WiFi. My Note 8 would scoff at this.

It's getting worse.
This is how I'm getting on today. Bluetooth headphones on the train up this morning and used hot spot for a bit.
I'm assuming this is because I've been on 5G most of the day in central London?
