Thanks for writing the "novel." I appreciate a full explanation. I don't understand the mechanics of a smartphone and, since this is my first one, I feel unsure about how to proceed. I had seen some information about Package Disabler Pro and was tempted to run it but also kind of afraid to do so...

Thanks for answering my question. So do you think CPU Temp is too aggressive in reporting high CPU? Or could it be inaccurate? I just got another warning. My phone has just been sitting next to me without my using it----although there was a notice that 2 apps had been updated. In my experience...

I downloaded an app called CPU Temp. I enabled high temperature warnings, and in the couple weeks I've had my Note 5 I have had a number of high temperature warnings---usually stating that the temperature is 70 - 73 Celsius. As far as I can tell it usually happens when it is charging on my TYLT...

I do keep location on because I find it very convenient to set my home as a trusted location so that I don't have to unlock my phone frequently through the day. Since I have the TYLT Vu, I tend to put the Note 5 on the charger when I'm ready to put it down. I like that it keeps my battery...

That's interesting. I do have a case--the Samsung S-View case---the one with a window in the upper half of the case. I tried all sorts of things to get it to start charging, including slowly sliding it down the length until finally resting it on the bottom, and nothing worked until I placed it...

Ironically, I'm know as the "techie" in the family---the one people call for help with their electronic devices. I'm completely self-taught, but I guess I know how to look up information well. :) We are, however, building a home this year, so I was trying to eke out a little more time with the...

So true. It is a huge jump from a simple flip phone. However, I have been lurking here for a long time, as well as doing a lot of research on phones---especially the Note series, so it's been a pretty easy transition. I had also started entering all my contacts on my Google/GMail account, which...

[/I] Thanks for the tip. It seems to be working okay, but I suppose that would be wise anyway. I actually bought it some time ago, in anticipation of buying the Note 4, but I never did get it. So, based on purchase date, it's no longer under warranty, even though I just started using it last...

So excited! Friday I finally got my Note 5. As noted above, I've been using a flip phone for the past 12 years. I started looking at Samsung's Note series when Note 3 was released. I always intended to buy one, but just kept putting it off because I'm very frugal. My flip phone finally died, so...

Here's a link with the information ... https://forums.androidcentral.com/e?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anrdoezrs.net%2Flinks%2F100048248%2Ftype%2Fdlg%2Fsid%2FUUacUvbUpU4655044%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Duccw.mendanbar.chevellemodern&token=qHeTZOo2 It's UCCW.

Thanks for answering so quickly. That sounds great. Is the Dash notifier able to work with SMS and missed calls?

I thought that Dashclock wasn't compatible with Lollipop, but I'm happy to see I'm wrong. Is this a beta version of Dashclock? The comments on the most recent (I think) version on Google Play seems to indicate it only works through Android 4.4. What extensions do you use?

I have been an admirer of the Note line for a long time (back to Note 2, shortly before Note 3 was released). I've been wanting to buy one for a long time and think I'll finally do so. Obviously, I can delay gratification since I've waited this long. So what is the upside of pre-ordering? The...

Take a look on Samsung's site. They list a Note 5 S-View case. Mobile Phone Accessories & Smartphone Accessories | Samsung

Yes---should start any moment now.
