QR scanner issue.

[Kevneill889]

Hi all, New here and looking for some help. Recently moved from S10+ to note 10+ 5g. 

I always found my QR/barcode scanner handy on my S10+ and never had any issues. Since I got the Note 10+ 5g the scanner when used is opening whatever I scan in my notes as text. 

When it gives the option to open in Web it just opens to notes and supply's text which does nothing. 

Anyone any ideas? I have contacted Samsung member's and done live chat but they told me to put the phone in safe mode but didn't explain why or what it might do.

Hi I am having problems with my built in qr scanner on my s10 it's reading them OK however it isn.t going to websites its saving it to notes. I have reset settings and it's still not taking me to website just adding to notes even though my qr scanner is on x

it's sad that these nerds and dweeb spend 7-10 years studying how to do ONE THING and they simply can't. its crazy how inferior samsung is to Apple. everything they do. I can't take samsung anymore I tried for so long but it's not worth having a ***** phone for some early beta features that don't work until Apple masters it for 5 years then samsujg catches up

I realize your question is old, but I see no solution! I am in the same situation with no answer! So frustrating! Did you find a solution? Thank you.

My Galaxy S9 camera app is able to process some but not all QR codes. On the good codes, it prompts with a title "WebPage" and works correctly. On the bad codes, it prompts with a title "Notes" and captures only text. I tried the page @AndrewL suggested, but was no help.

I just generated a QR code with an uppercase and a lowercase HTTP and they work on my S22 Ultra and it shows a web link.   If I try to scan the QR code on a Nest Thermostat it opens a note app.....

I have an S22 Ultra and have the same problem. I'm trying to link my phone to the Link to Windows app. My pc monitor displays a QR code. When I snap the code, I am presented with the following options:

Web address or Show Options. If I click on the Show Options, they are Full Text, Search Web, or Copy. If I click Search Web, I end up with the address in a Samsung Notes file. Nothing works!

Same thing with my a54. I dont get it & google doesnt seem too either...

Same problem with S24 Ultra. Does Samsung learn really?

Four years later, I just got a new Samsung and have this issue.  Not one valid answer to this... What the heck?

And now with FIDO2 (WebAuthn) QR code, sometimes the same happens: FIDO:/... displayed as text in notes, sometimes it works fine, from a A52s. When a "bad" one is scanned with another phone (other brand), the QR works.
