There seems to be bug in note5 software and I've reported it to Samsung. Here are steps to reproduce :
1. Open Google play store
2. Press and hold back button for a few seconds
3. Now the back button will not work in the app so you can not exit unless you force quit it with the task manager!
Please let us know if you have the same issue.

Just tried it and I am able to exit the app. I held it down for 5 secs, 10 secs and 15 secs, and each time I was able to exit the Playstore App. I am on Playstore App 5.10.29.
Thanks for the reply. I installed the latest version of play store and the issue is resolved
Just tried and the bug is there. Not really a big deal as you can just press the home button or recent apps button to get out.
Not sure if people realize this but long press of the back button brings up app menus. It's as if you pressed the menu button.
So to confirm, you are talking about the button on the bottom right side of the phone? With the arrow on it?
I got excited when I saw your comment and tried it as I need menu button in an old app. Well all I got when holding it was the same as pushing the button twice.

It might only work in some apps. It doesnt work for me on tapatalk or Gmail but it works on chrome and nova launcher.
Sure enough, it works for me in chrome. I couldn't replicate in Nova but I just tried from the settings menu. I do sure wish it worked for CraigsNotifica though. It is not being developed anymore as I understand it. I can still use it but the menu button would be a lot better. Well either way thanks for the reply.

Since there is no quit option for browser, there are only two ways to close the browser: back button or home button.
Now here is the problem: if I clicked a link from an app, say twitter, and the link was automatically redirected several times (for example, redirecting to a mobile site). After I finished reading on the browser, it is hard to go back to the original app.
If I clicked back button, it will go back one page and then redirect me again to the webpage. I have to hit back three times quickly.
If I hit the home button, I will be at the home screen...
What is the best solution?
Hold down the home button to bring up a list off recently used apps.

Whilst still in the browser, tap the menu button then tap the windows option. From there you can close any and all browser windows.

This its how you do it. Personally though,i go the quick back button route, so I don't have a bunch of windows open.

Learn something new every day.
Cooleo.
I have noticed since yesterday's Jelly Bean update (4.1.1) that if you have an app open (say a browser for example) and you let your screen timeout, when you press the home button it will turn the screen on screen up and take you back to your home screen. Used to with ICS it would just turn the screen on and you could continue in the app. Now it takes you all the way back home and you have to re-open the app to continue in it.
I was wondering if everyone is getting this same result or if it is just me.
Thanks!
I just tried it with Google Now and it returned to the app. I tried the Android browser and it returned the app as well. You might want to power down, pull the battery, then restart. Updates can sometimes act a little wonky at first. Occasionally (and unfortunately) a hard reset can FINALLY make an update work correctly.
Fixed this issue on my phone. The solution for me was to set up S-Voice, then go into it's settings and check the 'open via home key' option. After this, pressing the home key once simply wakes up the screen instead of also taking it to the home screen. Hope it works for you too!

Yea, that fixed it. I don't like S-Voice so I had that option turned off. Apparently it works different with this update then it did with ICS.
I've actually went in there and enabled that option then went into Application Management and disabled S-Voice. Now, if I accidently double tap my home button it just goes to a black screen for a second then back to the home screen. (Better than opening up S-Voice)
Thanks for your help!
I've found if you use a pattern password the home button "feature", to go back home works like how it used to

Nice find! Now my dilemma is, whether the added "lag" when single tapping the home button is not as annoying as being taken to the home screen when pressing the home button after the screen times out. Having the double tap for S-Voice setting disabled speeds up that home button responsiveness.

I find the lag to be to annoying when s-voice is enabled. A fast press of the power button will wake up the phone without closing the app you are using and you can keep s-voice turned off.

grr, I couldnt agree more. I turned off that feature to reduce home button lag in ICS, now it closes any app open. Hopefully theres a fix
We'll find out. I dislike these small, unnecessary changes that Samsung has implemented. Horizontal pinch to expand notifications is another unnecessary change on VRBLK3.

1. According to Samsung, this is the case
2. Try long pressing the back button
3. Don't know, haven't tried
4. Hold Power & Volume Down for 10 seconds
5. Don't know this either.

Press and hold the recents key. It's been like that since the Note 4
Edit: Actually I just got the phone and the long press doesn't bring up the menu anymore, brings up multi window. Weird

They moved the menu to long pressing the back key.
#6, Yes you can register multiple fingers.
So there is no menu key on this phone. I find it very strange.. haha. I hgve an older app or 2 and there is no way to get into the settings. Is there some method you guys that are used to samsung to access menus? On htc you would just long hold recent apps button to access menu from anywhere. Is there any option like that on this phone?

Good question. I have old Notepad APK app that doesnt showing settings to import my old data.
you have to hold the back button
Have you tried any of the pie control apps on the play store or here on xda?

Worked!! Thanks
You're welcome! I figured this out when the g3 came out because they got rid of the menu button
Hold back does not work. Some apps it force closes. Some apps it brings up a menu with a quit button. But long hold back doesn't access the setting menu. At least not on my phone. First thing i tried actually.
Pie app? So i need an app to access a menu in a different app? What

So far we have established one thing.. Bixby is not ready for the prime time.
However, I have completely different but relevant issue with it.
Trying to launch Bixby with the dedicated hardware button doesn't work at times. It's hit or miss.. Sometimes it works.. Sometimes it doesn't!
Anyone has this problem??
PS: I tried the earlier remap workaround and facing this ever since.
Same here. Did you do the update. After I did the update for verizon it seemed to start doing it.
I think it was after the update.. Not sure what causes this but it is annoying for sure..
Take it as a gods sign.. Bixby not working even if you want it to. Lol
Mine was not working at all, then it worked occasionally and now it's working 100%. It seems you just have to warm it up a little
UK version here and I hate the flippin Bixby but the button works every time i accidentally press it lol

I have another thread going on this, but a lot of us are facing the same issue after the update. I've reset my phone entirely and set it up with a clean install, but it still happens. Samsungs fix for stopping the remap is probably the cause of this issue.
just updated mine on sprint and now I have to double press the button for it to work.. single press or long press doesn't work but everytime a quick double press works.

I have noticed that it always works if i press it really really quick. If i leave the button pressed for half a second it wont work. Either click it really fast or just double click.
Same issue here after the update

Don't know whose all aware of out but bxactions is back up and running with an updated version for the update. It only lets you remap it to one thing instead of 3 now, but still better than Bixby

Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
I'm wondering if the update did this on purpose to keep people from accidently hitting the Bixby buttin in stead of volume button and then would pull up Bixby when all you wanted to do was mess with the volume. I know I've done that a few times.
Try too double press the button...
Same here, what a joke.
I had to double tap all the time to get it out. I like it that way as it stops accidental presses for me lol
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
It's just that the button time is like 0.00005 of a sec before it thinks it's a long press and does nothing.
Fix is just a very quick tap of the button makes it function every time ... All the time ?
The new T-Mobile fixed the tapping for me.
