Android 10 rollout to the OnePlus 6 paused due to fingerprint scanner issues

OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 10, which is based on Android 10, to the OnePlus 6 and 6T. But they had to stop the release to the former because of some problems with the fingerprint scanner. However, those who have the OnePlus 6T should expect the update to head your way soon. The update brings with it new Game Space, improved location and privacy settings, and many more. It's a sizeable 2GB update, and the release is staggered, so don't be worried if it doesn't head your way immediately.

Linux on Samsung DeX won't be usable once Android 10 update arrives

We have bad news for Linux on DeX users. Samsung recently announced that once its Android 10 update rolls out, the company will be shutting down its Linux on DeX beta program. Samsung didn't elaborate on why it's getting rid of the option but has said that the Android 10 beta is already running without the Linux support. This option should work for those Android users who just want a bigger screen to use their apps on. But for those looking to turn the Galaxy phone as a PC replacement using DeX, you might have to wait for that solution to come your way.

Android 10 with Samsung's One UI 2.0 beta isn't coming to Canada

Samsung has started rolling out the Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta for the Galaxy S10 phones. But this version of the app will not make its way to Canada. Samsung Canada confirmed with MobileSyrup that it will not make its way to the country—for now. The company might change its mind, or we'll just have to wait for the final version of the operating system to come to Galaxy S10 devices in the country sometime between now until the start of 2020. The first version of One UI came to Canadian beta testers back in November 2018, with it officially hitting devices in February 2019. 

One UI 2.0 brings with it Dark Mode that can shade your home screen wallpaper, smaller UI for the volume bars and caller notifications while you watch videos or play games, and Focus Mode to let you know how long you use specific apps.

While the new Huawei Mate 30 series doesn't come with Google services due to the company's ban from the US, its older models are still getting updated. Last year's end of the year flagship, Mate 20 Pro, is starting to get EMUI 10, which is based on Android 10. The said handset was expected to get the beta version of EMUI 10 in late September, so it makes sense that a stable version of the operating system is coming out now. However, the rollout seems to be in stages, so it hasn't shown up for users here yet. You should keep your eye out for the update to make its way to you soon, though. It's sized at 4.4GB with the build number "10.0.0.136."
