This article describes how to turn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 10. It explains several methods, including using the buttons and the on-screen menus.
How Do I Turn Off My Samsung Note 10?
To power down your Note 10 completely, first, ensure that you save any data you’re working on in any of your open apps if they don’t save automatically. When you’re ready, follow these steps:
- On the side of the device, press and hold the Volume Down and the Side button for a few seconds.
- Wait for the power menu to show up, then you can release the buttons.
NOTE: If you let go too soon, you’ll probably take a screenshot because a screen capture uses the same two buttons. Just try again, but this time keep pressing the buttons until the power options are revealed.
Tap Power off, and then Power off again to confirm. The device will shut off after a few moments.
How Do I Force a Shutdown on My Samsung Note 10?
In some cases, you may not be able to get the power off menu to appear. If so, you must force your Note 10 to shut down. This is extremely similar to the above steps.
- Here’s what you do: Press the Volume Down and the Side button until you see a black screen. You can then let go of the buttons and wait for the phone to restart.
TIP: If you see a mostly black recovery screen, turn off your phone and try again, making sure you’re holding the Volume Down button, not Volume Up. The Volume Up button will prompt you for a full factory reset, which will delete all apps and data from your device (which you don’t want in this case).
