I know this is a dated phone but it still works so well. The issue is when I set the do not disturb and it finally turns off all volumes return to present levels (in my case full volumes) except the notification sound which remains at zero. Did Samsung screw this up or what?

Hi MyVenza,

Thank you for reaching out. It is wonderful to hear that your Galaxy Note 10+ is still performing so beautifully for you! We completely understand how challenging it is when a single software quirk disrupts an otherwise perfect user experience on a device you love and rely on daily. When system can sometimes fail to recall the previous "snapshot" of the notification volume slider.

To help resolve this without disrupting your daily routine, our engineering and support teams highly recommend using the built-in automation engine on your Note 10+ to bypass the glitch entirely. 

Bypassing the Issue via Bixby Routines

Because the Note 10+ features robust automation tools, you can set a digital safety net that forces the volume slider to behave exactly as you want it to:

  1. Open your Settings app and navigate to Advanced features.
  2. Tap on Bixby Routines and ensure the toggle is turned On.
  3. Tap the "+" (plus icon) to create a brand-new routine.
  4. Set the "If" condition to Time period and match it to the exact time your morning or awake period begins (when your DND normally turns off).
  5. Set the "Then" condition to Sounds and vibration > Volume, and manually slide the Notification volume to your preferred maximum level.
  6. Save the routine.

This automated rule will run silently in the background, manually pushing your notification volume back up the exact minute your DND ends, entirely overriding the system glitch.

I am still in love with my very first Galaxy phone which was the S10 plus ... I miss having the blood oxygen heart rate sensor on the back of the phone...

And for device that is made In 2019 it's still very snappy and I can get everything done And the only reason why Phones like this continue to work without hassle is because they don't come with all this AI b*** S**T

Another reason to hold on to the phone is that it has expandable storage which needs to be Stronger back onto the new phones as it could really save all your pictures if your phone breaks on the side note it also has headphone Jack so if you forget to charge those headphones you still have the wired option as a backup

If you guys are going to change the camera layout... do not pull an apple ... if you guys are going to change the layout then make it like Google when they had that nice bar going across the top like pixel 8 Pro the horizontal cameras I preferred ... but you will lose me if you pull a Apple style... and the renders that have been showing up on the internet are ugly
