I have a Galaxy Note 5 — ask me about it!

[calicocat2010]

the note 5 do the same thing but when you use more than 5 apps so the 6th app will kill the first...

NOTE 4 can't take notes on the fly with the screen off. That is one LESS STEP for the Note 5.

I had the Note 5, and compared this feature with the Note 4. It's basically the same functionality. On the Note 4, just hold the button on the pen and simultaneously tap twice on the lock screen to get the Action Memo. In the overall scheme of things, it's just as efficient and convenient.

I'm glad someone pointed that out. Everytime I see mention of the quick launch notetaking function, I think, but the Note 4 can do that, too, with the actions you just described. I thought I was missing something. Yes, the Note 5 executes the process more elegantly, IMO, but it's the same concept/functionality.

Exactly, the only difference with the Note 5 is when it's in sleep mode, but chances are after when we finished writing, we most likely would want to wake up our phone anyway to check our other notes, email, surf, etc. So not much time saving compared to the Note 4. Besides with the Note 4, as soon as we pull out our SPen, we immediately get the lock screen, then double tap to launch Action Memo.

This "new" feature reminds me of the Galaxy Round, rocking the device to show notifications in sleep mode, when we can do that already with Air Gesture.

^^^^^ this goes for rapid charging as well. Rapid charging isn't new. I used to have a blackberry playbook that came with a rapid charger. I been charging my phones from 0-100 in 30min or less for years using that charger.

Sent from my 9.7 Korean tablet with the stick thingy.

Rapid charging screws up phones. Too hot

Actually that isn't true. My phone never gets above 90.

You're fortunate. Some get very hot.

Actually, everything I have seen is people talk about how cool their Note 5 runs.

I use rapid charging every day. If someone's phone is running hit after a charge or two when it is new, they have a problem with their phone.

There are a couple of threads already on this forum dedicated to extended battery life.

Can you swap out the battery? NO!
Can you swap out the SD card? NO... there is no SD card!
Can you swap out the back panel if you drop and crack it? NO!
Nope... staying with the Note 4 thank you very much!

I never swapped out the battery of my S5 and had it for over a year. I got a good deal when I got my phone with a portable charger. Just in case.

I'm so "old school" that using an SD card was a must. But it's 2015 and I decided to get with the current year . Cloud and 64GB and extra adaptor should be sufficient.

If you don't like cases then yes the back may be a problem. However I remember reading people complain about Samsung plastic phones and now it's switched.

Im still a confused as to why a phone geared towards the worker bees doesnt come with a stock to do list.... not even a widget.

Is it geared towards the worker bee? The tmobile reps, who werr surprisingly knowledgeable, never asked what I was using it for or suggested that's what it's for.

I'm sure you can find a widget. That's what I like about Android, you can customize it to what you want. I do want to use this phone more for work, but only 10%. If that.
