    S voice

    Hi everyone! I'm very new to owning an Android phone (coming from a blackberry user). I have the Galaxy Note 5 I'm trying to understand the s voice---I can get it to call via voice command, but I can't seem to get it to text via voice command, or read back a text. I've searching the net and...

    Deleting emails from phone, but not from server!

    I have a Note 5 and am finding this a problem with my AOL account --which is IMAP. But, on my other phone, I was able to choose an option to delete from both or just the phone. Odd that we don't have this option with the Note 5?

    Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Cases

    Sudden battery issue

    I had some battery issues when I upgraded to marshmallow last week. I clear3d cached data and did a clean with CCleaner and things seem to be better. I'm noticing better battery life when device is resting. Go to battery and optimize apps so they aren't always running in the background. That was...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Cases

    I know some folio cases are a full plastic fit and others are just the edges. But I've read reviews of people who have dropped them and they held well. Same for the tempered glass screen protector.

    Micro SD adapter

    Thanks for your input! I'm still learning about syncing etc. I don't keep a ton of stuff on my phone but I like a back up just in case. I don't like my stuff being saved online- I prefer my computer so I liked the idea of the micro SD adapter.

    Micro SD adapter

    Hi there. I saw this on YouTube and wondered if any of you have used a micro SD adapter to save files from your phone and be able to the put directly into your computer. The one I saw was from meenova on YouTube and the man said he could used a 128g memory card. So, if this works, memory won't...

    Hello. A newbie to Android

    Thanks for the warm welcome. Turns out the clock app native to the phone changed after the marshmallow update. Many functions improved which was nice (minor app functions that is) very pleased with this phone. Just getting used to the size still and irked that many stores in my area have...

    Hello. A newbie to Android

    Thanks Morty!! It turns out the clock native to this phone is no longer shadowed after the marshmallow update. I'm still debating on the keyboard case but I am getting used to this touch screen. The note 5 is huge so it helps. I'm in Canada too! I feel your pain with deliveries. I did get a...

    Slow Loading (faster battery drain, performance gone) Note5 6.0.1

    I'm leary of sideloading. It messed up my blackberry so I did a factory reset and had my Q10 for 3 yrs. I moved to my note 5 because of the lack of support for bb. I love this note 5. Android takes a bit of getting used to but I am happy. 😊

    Slow Loading (faster battery drain, performance gone) Note5 6.0.1

    For those with battery drain issues. Try disabling fast charge. I did this and it seems my battery life is much better. Phone still charges quicker than my past phones and I think the fast charge with marshmallow may be the problem. Good luck.

    Slow Loading (faster battery drain, performance gone) Note5 6.0.1

    That makes no sense though. An update shouldn't force us to factory reset the device every time. I would think developers would be working on that. So far, knock on wood, my battery life has been ol today. Been using it the same amount of time. I will figure the system will learn and adjust...

    Slow Loading (faster battery drain, performance gone) Note5 6.0.1

    Thanks. I have my screen on auto as well. I'm noticing a mobile radio is also taking up battery life. I'm figuring that's just the use of the phone as I don't think we have a radio on these devices. So fat, battery life seems ok. A little bit lower than before the update but nothing extreme. I...
