Anyone know if there is a My Places widget for Google Now Launcher?

Coming from BlackBerry gestures, I wanted this! So, THANKS!

Gesture wake up is just like quick glance on the Note 3! Go to settings -> accessibility -> dexterity etc. And it should be there. Yay! No more having the press the button to turn the screen on to check for notifications!

I like the reader option in the Samsung browser. Reminds me of the Safari browser for the iPhone.

I love it too, but I can't figure it out why it isn't available in all the webpages, I mean I can't see any pattern, it appears in some Web pages that are not designed with articles and in others like this and other forums it doesn't show the Reader icon.

Are you all having the same?

I noticed that too. Can't figure it out. But it works great when it's an option.

I resized chrome a couple times today and couldn't figure out exactly how to do it. I know it has something to do with dragging down from the top right but can't reproduce it. Any ideas?

You can pull down from either top corner with the S-pen or your finger.

Ah thanks! To clarify for others, you have to drag either top corner diagonally (not down) toward the opposite corner.

You can schedule a phone restart.

Great feature

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (32 gigs+white) running on T-Mobile.

I'm not sure why carriers are disabling these features. It's one of the reasons I'm sticking with T-mobile. They don't disable awesome features, the bloat is minimal, no carrier branding, unlimited data, and upgrade every year.

And you save data because there is no reception in the suburbs! Win - win!

I have AT&T with unlimited everything. But have great reception everywhere except my house.

I saw a video saying the Note 5 can wirelessly screen cast to any computer monitor in the same wifi network without any additional adapters. Does anybody know about this and how it works (if it works)

I believe that's side sync.

Cool. How do you do it?

Oh it appears that only works with samsung pc. Video implied it worked with any computer monitor.
