Thanks, I'll look into your link. No particular reason for the hour shutdown.

I am looking for a way to schedule a power off and a power on about an hour later, from 12:05am to 1:05am as an example. I've looked in settings and can't find anything there. I am having (periodically) issues with auto rotation. It is sometimes fixed when I power down the phone and then power...

Now that I have been using Gear VR on my N5, it won't play my videos normally. When ever I try to play them within my Gallery, it says to put on the GVR goggles. I've tried everything and looked at all the settings but the only way the video will play is if I launch it through a stand alone...

The virtual reality is a good first step concept but somewhat disappointed in its implication. Is it just me? The image using the note 5 is VERY pixilated and very disappointing. The big screen effect is quite spectacular but the quality leaves a lot to be desired. I wear glasses and with or...

I received my Verizon Refurbished N5 in 3 days. The Verizon tech rep couldn't have been more accommodating. I must say, the phone was like brand new. Everything seems to be working fine. What impresses me the most is the battery life. I'm going a day and a half and it's still at 52%. Granted I'm...

I just talked to Verizon. They are going to send me a replacement phone under warranty. I hope I don't have the horror stories other people have had with refurbished phones.

We'll I tried a lot of things. Finally I recorded a video. It sounded good on external speaker but when I plugged in my head phones I had the right channel only. I blocked the top microphone and spoke on video and then did a test with the bottom mic hole covered. Listened to it again with the...

Wow, thanks for the quick responses. You've given me a lot to consider. I would prefer not to a hard reset. It took me to long to set as it up as it was when I received the phone. And since my other phone is sold it won't be as easy to transfer data. The only issue is when talking on the phone...

If this has already been covered, I apologize in advance as I am a new user to the Note 5 but not the the Galaxy Note series. On my Note 4 I never had an issue using the speaker on a phone call. When I receive or make a call on my N5 and push the speaker icon it goes to green and I can hear the...

Has anyone definitively figured out what is causing the auto-rotate to stop working on the note 5? Had to restart it again as it stopped rotating this morning. Sometime I think I'd have been better off sticiking with my N4.

Yah! I guess it's a good thing to listen to my wife because she said to restart the phone and that did solve the problem, even if only temporarily based on your response. It does suck that there maybe a deeper underlieing issue going on here. Thanks

I finally realized what's happening with my pictures not rotating to landscape. Auto rotate isn't working at all on my Note 5. It is set to auto rotate (pull down shortcuts) Emails, internet pages aren't rotating to landscape. Any thoughts. The software is the latest. Any other place I can...

I finally realized what's happening. Auto rotate isn't working on my Note 5. It is set to auto rotate. Emails, internet pages aren't rotating to landscape. Any thoughts. I'm going to post this as a new topic.

The landscape pics I took with the N5 all scroll up or down when viewing with the phone in landscape position. When holding the phone in portrait position, portrait pics scroll left/right OK but the the landscape pics show up and down and don't auto rotate. The pics I transferred over from my N4...

On my Note 4 when I took landscape pictures I could view them by swipping right or left. I've noticed on the N5 I have to swipe up or down. I've looked all over the phone but can't find a way to change it to left or right swipe in landscape view. Can it be done? Also, one of the reasons I...
