6.0 Marshmallow: Verizon Galaxy Note 5

[Devin Doucet]

Anyone know how to get auto search in Samsung browser? What I mean is suggestions come up as you type. I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

Is it turned on in settings under privacy.

I think I remember it saying the first time my phone booted up after update that it is note required. I can't be sure because I was so anxious to check out marshmallow, but it said something to that effect

I recall seeing a similar message. I think its now normal for a password prompt after a restart, and after X hours of not logging into the phone via fingerprint. Think that's similar to how the TouchID enabled iPhones work.

Yeah, my iPhones always required a password after any phone restart even though I used fingerprint to unlock them normally. Android may have adapted the same idea.

Mine is requiring it, i think its just the way its going to be now. If you can turn it off i havent found out how yet.

I restart my phone every couple days, its not a huge deal but i would like the option.

Sent with my white Note5 with nonremovable back and no SDcard!

Trees, zCirca, russel15150:

Thanks guys for confirming that your N5's also require a password after restart/booting-up. Further to this, passwords are also now the only way to get into the "Fingerprint" functionality as well (fingerprints used to work).

This is all OK, with two minor disconnects from a human factors perspective. When I make the following settings...

Screen lock type: Fingerprints
Fingerprint unlock: On

... I expect to be able to *unlock my phone" with fingerprints. The term "Unlock" is even used in the on-screen directions after restart/boot-up.

I am OK with this apparently new policy of using a password to unlock my phone, but the UI is a bit confounding IMO.

Maybe there's still something more to learn on this front.

I've noticed the call block list has returned on my Verizon Note 5 with the last update. I missed that before.

smart switch is no longer working for me. anyone else having this same problem? it keeps saying i disconnected my phone -__-

Has anyone else noticed they fixed the WiFi bug? I noticed now when I have WiFi on, my network data isn't running at the same time. Only WiFi is being used for data instead of both at once. I attached a screenshot of how it used to be (black screen) and how it is now

That is how it normally should be. The data should become active (White) when sending / receiving an MMS message.

mine were always both on until the update

Did you happen to have a caller ID app installed? Sometimes that can also keep it active.

Here is a summary of things I've noticed after the 6.0.1 upgrade.

• Upgrade went smoothly. Didn't factory reset. I DID re-enable all my disabled apps though, just in case. No overarching bugs or issues. Overall, the experience is great. UI performance seems much snappier and responsive.
• "Now On Tap" is very interesting and I'm using it quite a bit already.
• I wish I could turn off or disable the brightness slider in the notification panel. I use Lux Auto Brightness so that slider is just a waste of space.
• Not sure what's up with how Samsung has treated the new "System UI Tuner" functionality. It's clearly not available as it is in AOSP. Anyone have ideas about how to access it or where Samsung as put an equivalent tool?
• The running processes RAM bar has been moved into "development tools". Took me forever to find it.
• "Doze" isn't a big deal and I'm not even sure I'm seeing any battery life improvements. Of course, things were great in that department before the update. I've also disable a ton of bloatware, which makes a huge difference.
• There's a new persistent "clipboard" manager change that is very welcome. Now, whenever you long press over a text input box, one of the options is "clipboard" which allows you too see and interact with past copy/paste items.
• Wifi calling works like a charm. Tried both incoming and outgoing calls in airplane mode, with wifi on... no issues at all. Woot! However I do notice that there is battery consumption for "cell standby" if "wifi calling" is enabled. I guess that makes sense.
• It appears that the "trusted voice" screen unlock functionality doesn't actually work. Anyone getting that to unlock (if you have securely locked the phone with pin/fingerprint/password) properly?

I have noticed a battery improvement but it is not due to doze, I've been on my phone too much for it to kick in. I bested my previous sot record by almost an hour from before the update

My battery life is terrible, screen at 30% and it always shows location found on my pull down. I can't figure out what's causing that either

 

[dsignori]

I love the update so far. Battery life is better, I love the variable auto-brightness option now - great. 1 odd thing. I use fingerprint unlock (which is faster now). I now have to enter my passcode to unlock my phone the first time I unlock it after every single reboot. Not too big a deal, just odd. After the first entry, fingerprint unlock works fine until I reboot..

Overall the update is great, smooth ..

This is a new "feature"... added security.

I didn't do a factory reset, but I did wipe cache partition. If you haven't already, you could try that

How do I do that ? I would prefer not to reset again .. my corporate stuff is tough to get set back up

I disabled the factory weather app which had use age as high on the battery and went back to weather time line. Let's see if that fixes it
