    Note 5 MM & OpenVpn

    I just checked and I'm on 6.0.1 and my carrier is Optus (Australian carrier). That explains a lot. I have been having issues with WhatsApp not working when connected to wifi too! I also noticed my OpenVPN app works better on mobile date than wifi. Hopefully there's a fix for it soon 😔

    do you regret upgrading to Marshmallow ? why ?

    I'm using a Note 5 and have had MM for roughly a week now. Certain aspects of it I do like, such as the general interface changes to the notification pulldown and much improved Do Not Disturb. What I dont like is that many of my apps have stopped working properly now. The stock Samsung Internet...

    Note 5 MM & OpenVpn

    To those of you who have made the upgrade to MM and use the OpenVPN app, have you been having issues with connectivity in the app since updating? I know for sure it's not my vpn provider as it works perfectly with no issues on my PC and iPad, but is almost unusable on my phone now since it...

    Note 5 Themes

    Do themes only change the app icons when you're running touchwiz? I've installed quite a few on Nova but it won't change the icons.

    Just returned my iPhone 6s Plus... honest review comparison w/ Note 5

    I'm kind of surprised you found the 6S Plus to have a faster fingerprint reader. From what I've seen of the 6S and Plus (I work in a phone store so been setting up a lot of them for customers), they are pretty much equal in speed to the N5. I originally wanted a 6S Plus but the screen on the...

    Anyone use dbrand on their Note 5?

    I got my black carbon fibre skin. I'm really happy with the quality and it went on perfectly first try so I'll be ordering another one for my gf's phone. I ordered the front parts but havent put them on since I have a tempered glass protector so it won't fit, that's probably the only...

    Note 5: Post Pictures Of Your Home Screen(s)

    This is my home screen. I'm running the free version of Nova Launcher and Numix Circle Icon Pack. Coming from an iPhone it's really great to have this much control over customization, not sure if I could go back to iPhone.

    Note 5 Battery life thread

    I'm real happy with the battery life on my Note 5. I came from an iPhone 5s so I don't have to worry about my phone dying while I'm out anymore.

    How often do you charge your Note 5 per day?

    I use my phone heavily so I technically charge it in full once a day, but that is made up of a 30% charge in the morning and a 60-80% charge at night before I sleep.

    Anyone use dbrand on their Note 5?

    For those who've already put the Dbrand skin on your Note 5, what do you do about the screen protector on the front? I've ordered my Dbrand Black Carbon Fiber skin but still waiting for it to arrive (I live in Aus so might take a while). A friend at work has the S6 Edge and he somehow managed...

    PIA Lock Screen Notification

    I've had my Note 5 for nearly 2 weeks now and I'm absolutely loving it. The other thing I cant figure out how to fix is the lock screen notification for my Private Internet Access VPN app. From the lock screen it always displays a notification saying "VPN is activated by privateinternetacess"...

    Location Sharing App?

    Thanks for those tips. I've been using Life360 for a week now and its been great and accurate so I think I'm going to stick with it. Does anyone know any keyboard apps that allow for shortcuts like on ios? I added some on my Google Keyboard but they only work when the predictive text bar is up...

    Location Sharing App?

    Thanks and it definitely works great so it's worth checking it out! You can even send an alert if something is wrong and it will message/email the person to notify them you're in danger.
