Missing S-Pen Features? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5

Trying to use selective text/ photo whatever it's called. On note 4 I could select a group of words from a picture, post etc. and after selecting a T would pop up if I wanted to extract the text and allow me to copy to clipboard. Is this gone or am I just overlooking it. If they took this away that's bs [emoji35]

I've also been searching for this feature. I maybe used it once or twice on my note 4, but it's an incredibly powerful feature and fun to show off. Wouldn't make sense to remove it.

Still haven't found the built in to snote feature; however, apps like TextFairy or Optical Reader essentially do the same thing (just one more step). They also allow to export to snote/pdf. Wouldn't be too bad to add one of them to the air command menu.

Yes it is definitely a great tool which I used all the time on my note 4. I can't believe they would remove it. That just pissed me off

S Note

Hello, why is it when using the shape feature on S note it works fine... until I undo something then whenever I try to do a new shape it gets rid of the other shapes I've drawn and so on which is really annoying, is this something I'm doing or is it a bug?

I've noticed the same thing happening. I found that you can get around this if you will save the note you are working on immediately after completing the undo function. Then you can continue drawing new shapes without erasing the other shapes you want to keep.
So just a bug then? That's annoying..

I have the same problem as well, and the most annoying thing is that the previous ICS version of SNote worked like a charm!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2081866
I started a thread about it a couple of weeks ago, we haven't come up with a solution yet however I hope that it's not too far away. Please contact Samsung, the more of us that do this the more likely they are to realize there is a big problem with SNote and make an update (or in this case maybe a downgrade). I've made a video that illustrates my problems and posted it in the thread mentioned, feel free to use it in contact with Samsung.

Very annoying I will definitely be getting in contact with them! Do you also have a bug with the music play, it wont go to the next song it will just stop and you have to start it manually again, also when I have it playing through my Xbox it will stop and the tablet and Xbox will display different songs?

Actually I haven't used the tablet for music yet and I'm not sure I will. However what you describe sounds more like you have some setting wrong, try press the button at the right hand side of the play/next track etc (it might say something with A). Or simply get a better music app I would love to do so with SNote, but there really is no good option with the math and shape functionality. LectureNotes is so much better in so many ways, but having the ability to use Snote for some task sure would be great sometimes!

No its not that I've got it to repeat the playlist if it ends, I love the music app (well when it works) it was perfect before the update, hopefully Samsung get on making a bug fix update for all the little problems! I've not tried lecture notes, I will try it out

I have had the same problem with snote I will use you video and send to Samsung I have already send them a msg but with you video I hope this will be fixed soon.
I use snote for collage and the fact the drawing cant be used is a big problem.
The music and video app I have no problem with n both advance to the next track.

I'm glad to hear that!
Have you tried LectureNotes? I was a little skeptical when I first tried it, I was just comparing it with SNote and that functionality. But actually, after using it for quite a while and testing and configurating the app I prefer it so much over SNote for lecture notes. LectureNotes is best for taking lecture notes, who would have guessed that? Sure it's lacking those cool shape features the SNote has but actually I think the simple MS Paint style that LectureNotes is using is much more accurate when actually using it and not just testing it. And just such a simple feature that you take for granted, to move the text and stuff after inserting them is something LectureNotes has and SNote simply doesn't.
But the really great thing is that you don't really have to choose between them. You can use LectureNotes for everything but the shape and math stuff (when it gets to writing equations, SNote is in a class of its own) where you use SNote and then Lasso around the item with pen button down after which you press the LectureNotes icon. The screenshot (or whatever it is) is then transfered straight to the desired page in LectureNotes!
Hope this helped some people that think that the new SNote stinks and are looking for alternative until Samsung got this sorted out

Keyboard shortcuts in apps with password field?

Hi
I know why it's generally not a good idea to do this because it would probably mean passwords would have to be stored in plain text on the device, but in this case the trade off in security is absolutely worth it for me!
An app I use regularly demands a password when opened if its been inactive for longer that about 10 minutes - this password is very long so I'd like to assign a keyboard shortcut to it so as to make the whole process less of a hassle. What's the best way to do this? My device is rooted.
Cheers!

No android security protocols wont allow it.
So there's no way around it whatsoever?

I'm not sure if this will work, but maybe you can use gestures. You can make a gesture to type out the specific password in

Question

Is there a way to add all apps to the multiwindow without root since there is no way to root the At&t edge yet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using XDA Free mobile app
Put them in folders?
Sent from my Samsung Note Edge using Tapatalk
Not folders. Put whatever apps I want in the multiwindow feature. Stick only allows certain apps. I have an app that will put them all in but it needs root. As of now, there isn't a way to root the At&t edge.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using XDA Free mobile app
Oh I put them in folders, and I can get more. I separated the folders for what the apps do. I think it would be extremely long to put every app in the edge panel

You don't understand what he is asking.
He is asking about split screen. Where you have to programs running at the same time.
But yea the answer is no. If it's not on the Samsung list it won't work. Same thing happen with the note 3.
A tip tho if you press the recent app key. It will show you which apps can be multi window. There will be an icon that looks like an 8 on the right side of that app window.
Ok thanks for clarifying that for me.

The Galaxy Note 5 Attributes Thread

Hey ladies and gents,
I made this thread to have a place to post personal findings with your note 5's. For example, tell us how do you like the screen, anything weird that you noticed about the screen, the way the phone behaves, and possibly any quirks that you found out with the phone. Even things that you like and don't like. Maybe the phones camera acts a certain way in weird conditions, etc. Let us know so that we can discuss and possibly find solutions for any future quirky attributes that pop out! ?
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I have noticed that when I want to send a pic to someone it automatically sends the pic without letting me type anything. Don't know if it is a bug or just the way the OS works.
I do not like the fact that I can't choose to use an app once or by defualt, it automatically selects the app for me
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA Forums Pro.
I agree. The default activity chooser is missing the option to use an app just once or always. Very annoying
Really? That's very annoying because I usually like to choose different media players for different media applications. That can pose a problem.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
On a positive note (pun intended), the screen is gorgeous and wonderfully sensitive. My last two phones, lgg4 and nexus 6 were too dim in sunlight and the screens on the far right edge missed touches far too often. Well, on the LG touches were missed just about anywhere 1/3rd of the time.
I have noticed that when I take a screenshot with smart select and save it to gallery I cannot send it as an mms. It says unsupported media file. Anyone else had that problem/

Anybody with the Note 5 64gb how much of the 64gb do you get to use after the OS is installed? Right now I'm using around 50gb overall on my Note 3.

The size of the OS has no effect on the amount of in free user space, the OS is on a separate partition in the phone.
The separate partition is of a pre-determined size which has nothing to do with the free space on the internal sdcard.
That's why I do not see any advantage of uninstalling bloatware or other apps which we don't use or want.
Disabling bloatware and many other unwanted and unused apps is a much better and safer option.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
I hear what you are saying, but still doesn't answer his question. Regardless of partitions, you will still have 64gb to work with, so how much is available from a stock N5 64gb? I think I read that 11gb is used, but I can't confirm I don't have a note 5 yet. Coming soon. You should have over 50gb, probably 52-53. I'm sure someone can confirm.
@Misterjunky-That sounded a little rude, I didn't mean it so please don't take it the wrong way.

Ok, before adding any files to your internal sdcard you will have exactly 58,350,411,776,00 bytes usable free space.
Which means that you will have approx 58.3 GB usable free space to work with before adding any files.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Damn, that's actually very good.

Is there any chance we can get Smart Manager back?

The Smart Manager app is really helpful and original by Samsung. Why would the stupid Verizon remove it? It's damn stupid, foolish and selfish of Verizon. Fortunately I can always use the Greenify app,though.
I'm sure you could download the apk as long as its on another note 5 version.
Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
I think the app is actually installed in our system. Looking in priv-app the is a SmartManager-Provider apk, but there is a good chance that there is a csc line that is not allowing the app to load.

Not that I have found yet. To edit the csc file we need root, I did find another thread that had the smart manager apk and tried to install it but I would not. It needs to be a system apk.

Unfortunately from what I have seen is Verizon and AT&T decided against it because they want their apps instead..... Like the data control Verizon wants you to use family base... Which works well granted but also is an added feature on the account

I found a semi solution, let me know if it works for you...
Download es file explorer, then download the task manager add on. - Has an option to quickly clear ram with a touch of a button.
Next option and closer to System manager...I recommend this one..
Download all in one gestures set either your app or back key with long press and select kill app.
Once set, go back to home screen, long press whatever button you setup, you should see a ram manager popup and hit boost.

Thanks for your reply. Actually ram is not a problem here. Note 5 has 4G ram after all. I'm using Greenify's unroot mode and everything has been working fine for me so far.

Thanks for the relevant information. By the way, I'm really curious about how Verizon is gonna deal with Andriod 6.0's strict authority management.
They have to accept it. Google runs most phones we sell. ? I personally can't wait
