Do you mean the mobile data button? In most regions, the button is included in the quick settings (swipe down twice from the top of the screen, or swipe down with two fingers). Did you check it there?

Randy says
Neither volume key is doing anything. All other keys are functioning normally, though there seems to a delay in typing, i e the phone seems to be running slow. I turned it off all night and fully charged it. No physical damage, less than a year old.
Galaxy Note says
If volume key is not working, you have to visit local Samsung service center to check the hardware.
For the slowness, it’s not necessarily to turn off the phone every night. You can try to clear cache partition to see whethet it helps.
You may follow this guide to clear cache partition (you need to use volume keys): http://gadgetguideonline.com/s7/sasmung-galaxy-s7-how-to-guides/how-to-clear-cache-partition-on-galaxy-s7-and-galaxy-s7-edge/

Hello,
I recently got a note 5, and I noticed that in the camera, I can’t disable the burst mode.
when I try to press and hold the middle button to focus and take the shot, it starts taking pictures non stop.
I can’t find any thing that helps in disabling this feature.
Appreciate your advice.

Linda Buckmaster says
How do I change the way my PDF files open so that they open in a Browser instead of with “Write on PDF?” Firefox is my default browser.
Until a few days ago the PDF files would download and show up in my notifications area. A few days ago foe some reason I was given an option of which to use to open the PDF, Firefox or Write On. I guess I picked the wrong one.
Now when I click a link to a PDF file, instead of downloading and giving me a notification like before, it opens in Write On PDF. And when I flip through the pages I end up scribbling all over it.
I’ve gone into settings and applications, and looked an S Pen & S Drive to clear defaults, but that button is greyed out and there are no default sets.
So I’m really stumped. I’m hoping someone can tell me how to put it back the way it was.
Simon says
You can reset the default app in settings – applications – default apps. You may check this guide on how to change and manage default apps http://gadgetguideonline.com/s7/sasmung-galaxy-s7-how-to-guides/how-to-manage-galaxy-s7-default-apps/

When i select “add ringtone”, it will lead me to One Drive screen where the only option given to me is to sign in to One Drive or One Drive for Business by keying in my email address.. Why is this happening? All I want is just to add ringtone from my play music file..
Simon says
Because you set one drive as the default app for that action. You can clear it in settings – Applications – default applications. In Note 5, the default app will be set based on the app you used when you are prompted for selection the app first time.

Terry Matula says
is it possible to change the screen sensitivity … too soft to the touch, lopts of inadvertent errors … its not in the display and wallpaper section
Simon says
You can visit local Samsung service center and they can adjust the touch sensitivity for Note 5. Don’t try it yourself.

Hazwan says
I leave my note 5 charge for overnight… is this will effect my battery or my phone??
Simon says
Unlikely it will affect battery. But it will not do good either.
Also, in some regions, the voltage in night may be not stable, it may affect the charger… But anyway, it is not necessary to get up at 1am to disconnect the charger.

How I need help every time I take a selfie it flipes the picture And I’m tired of it, is there any way I can undo this?

Mike Herden VanOurkerk says
My touch screen is broken. How can I retrieve my data from the phone? When it’s connected to a computer it shows nothing?
Simon says
If the screen is locked, you cannot access the files on the phone. This is exactly the purpose of the screen lock. If the phone is connected to internet, you can use Samsung’s find my mobile to unlock it when it’s connected the PC.
You may visit local Samsung service center to see whether they can help you backup the data.

Robert Bird says
That’s the thing, no, I don’t BUT the bt signal is very weak with my other bt devices. I have a bt tower speaker that’s always cutting out when I use the phone pair only a couple feet away. When Marshmallow comes out, will it have any fix for bt strength? And will it mess my note 5 up like lollipop did to my G3?
Simon says
For Bluetooth signal strength, you can ask the service centre to do a test for your device. I don’t think it’s a known problem.
The Marshmallow update probably will not change much about Bluetooth. If you are not sure about the update, you can wait a few days or weeks to see whether there are any serious problems with the update. Normally, Samsung will withdraw the update of serious problems are found in the update. Very often update problem is region-specific.

Robert Bird says
Hey Simon, I got one for you…I have a note 5 and it’s GOT to have the weakest blue tooth strength I’ve seen, and ALL Samsung galaxy phones I’ve had are WEAK in blue tooth. It keeps disconnecting from my High end Alpine car stereo system when it’s 1 foot away from the head unit. THEN, once it disconnects, I have to completely re establish the bt connection ‘from the phone’ in order for the functions on the stereo to work, like skip song etc. I’ve thoroughly determined it’s the phone, not the stereo. My girlfriend’s Droid NEVER disconnects. What’s a fix or will there be one for this crappy BT signal?
Simon says
Not sure about the issue or a fix. I guess it depends on the pairing (software stack) as well. Do you have same problem with other Bluetooth devices?

Joey says
How can I add S Translator to the context menu in Note 5?
Simon says
What context menu? It should depend on individual apps. I don’t think you can modify app behavior. In Marshmallow update, you can use Now on tap. It’s probably something similar. to what you want. But it’s not for S translator.

I just upgraded to the note 5 after previously owning the note 4. Is there anyway to change my bookmarks to look how they looked on my note 4? In my Samsung bookmarks on my Note 4 they were in a tile format that showed a small picture of the actual website. On my note 5 it’s just a standard bookmark with just text, very much like an old Windows XP bookmark. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Simon says
I don’t think you can change it.

Oh, and one other question – do you know of any way to customize the stock keyboard? I hate the voice recorder button and would love to remove it. I never use that feature and hit it on accident almost every time I try to hit the Space bar. And if that’s not possible, any suggestions for a 3rd party keyboard that is reliable and doesn’t cause many issues/interferences with phone function? Thanks!
Simon says
You should try Google keyboard. It is far better.
Voice button is for Google voice typing. You can disable it if you don’t use it. Go to Settings– language and input –default keyboard –Set up input methods –un-check Google voice typing.

Hi there, is there any way to resize a photo without cropping? My S5 had this functionality under its Edit mode for the photo, but I can’t figure out a way on the Note 5. I’m specifically looking for this to use when texting a photo (I like to take the photo with full resolution, but that leads to texting 5MB pics most of the time and they often have trouble let sending that large).
Simon says
The Gallery app and built-in Samsung photo editor does not offer re-sizing. There are a few apps that can resize the photos. You may try Photo Editor.
Actually, it is NOT to re-size photos for SMS. The SMS app will automatically resize photos before sending.

Huss says
I like to edit the names of the Web pages I add in my quick access, however on my note 5 I can’t seem to find how I can edit the name of the pages added to quick access. Also can’t delete the default bookmarks saved in the Internet browser. Is it possible to do so or am I stuck with the preloaded bookmarks and titles of quick access pages?
Huss says
On my s5 it was changed easily just by pressing edit in the top corner, on note 5 when you press edit all you can do is rearrange the order or remove pages
Simon says
I don’t think you can rename the quick access part. For bookmarks, you can tap and hold, then you can find the delete button near the top.
anyway, why don’t use Chrome?

On the Note 4 i was able to rearrange the order of action memos. I don’t seem to be able to do that on the Note 5. Is that correct?

Action memos are arranged by time created. I don’t think Note 5 allows you to customize the order.
If you have many action memos or S sotes, you can use folders to manage them.

Bird says
Don’t get rid of anything. Covers don’t cover up the fingerprint reader. Clean your hands first, then when re programming your print, place your finger on the reader a little on each side of the finger and centered. This allows the reader to see the whole print. Mine works flawlessly unless my finger is wet, very dirty or just on the sensor wrong.
Bird says
I had the same problem but after realizing my fingers were dirty when programming, I cleaned them and re registered my thumb and index fingers on each hand and it works flawlessly. Make sure as your programming it, you put your fingers a little sideways each time too. That helps the phone recognize the fingers without perfect, straight placement. I promise this wil work.
Terry says
You say it works really good so let me ask a question I do have a case on it which has a cover would that make a difference but I can’t believe there’s not others out there that don’t have a case I wanted to know before I either get rid of it or try with your Sam one more time about resetting the fingerprint registry
Simon says
In Note 5, you just put your finger on the home button. It is not necessary to swipe as in Note 4. Also, fingerprint sensor in Note 5 is far more accurate and responsive than that in Note 4.
The case should not be an issue as long as you can put your finger on home button naturally.
As pointed by Bird, you should spend some time in registering your fingerprints. For dominant finger, you can register it more than once so that it can be easily recognized.

Terry says
Everytime I go to use the finger print it will not work it tries and tries and tries again and again and again and I wind up putting the password in any way so I just want to turn it off
Simon says
In settings – lock screen and security – screen lock type, change it to something else.
You can remove all fingerprints in settings – lock screen and security – fingerprints.
Actually Note 5’s fingerprint sensor works very well. You should follow the on-screen instructions and try to register again. You can register frequently used finger twice.

Simon says
You can set lock screen security to anything else.
You can also deregister the fingerprint in fingerprint manager on Note 5.

Renee says
I just learned that there is no setting for touch screen sensitivity in Note 5. I just upgraded from the Note 3 and was convinced to buy a protective glass for my screen at the store, which I think has compromised the sensitivity. At times I swipe or hit a key and nothing happens. It happens a few times a day and is very annoying. Is there any alternative to help this or do I have to return the glass protection and hope that solves it?
Simon says
What glass protection? Most tempered glass screen protectors do not have any issues with touch sensitivity.
If you need adjust touch sensitivity, technicians in the service center may help you to adjust.

Amy says
I want to transfer 2 videos from my Note 5 to my Chromebook. The videos is too large for email. And whenever I try to share it on google drive, the files won’t transfer. I’ve tried to transfer the videos to a PC by plugging the phone into the PC, but the videos don’t appear on the PC even though they are on my phone. What do I do?
Simon says
When you share the video to Google drive, you need open Google drive and update. Also, by default, upload starts only when you are connected to WiFi. And it’s done on background. Actually, you can automatically back up all photos and videos to your Google drive through Google Photos.
For connecting Galaxy Note 5 with the PC, photos or videos will not show automatically. Your Note 5 is connected as USB storage. You can user windows explorer took find the phone and go to DCIM folder to copy the files.
If your Note 5 is listed, but nothing under it in Windows explorer, you may need unlock the lock screen once.

Vic says
I am a havy user of the S Note app. Since Note 2 I was crazy about all the cool features that helped me be more productive. Buy now, on my new Note5, I can’t find some settings: I am not able to set a default first page background on a note and than to have anouther background on the rest of the pages. This was very helpful on meeting notes. And I cannot find how to fix the resizing rate on inserted pictures. I I whant to resize a picture, it will let me resize it freely. I don’t whant that. I whant to be a fix rate resizing. Is there any setting about this? Thanks.
Simon says
Unfortunately, many good (and bad) features in S Note were gone during “updates”.
It seems S Note developers do not know what they are doing. They are not connected to users.

How to change the default s pen ink color back to the original black ink like it was before my phone had a factory reset done? After the reset the default ink is blue. ( Default: would be like when saving and naming an s note. The ink is blue now instead of black when writing a name to save an s note
Simon says
Not sure what exactly you are referring to. But the ink color of the S Pen in S Note is always the latest color you used. If you like black, you can set ink color to black in a s note.

Is there a way to set the local area code on the note 5? My S4 was easy to set, but I can’t find the feature on this phone.

Did you try to sync the contacts through your Google account? The area code should be synced if you sync them through Google account.

Mika Asano says
Hi,
i recently bought my Note 5. However, it seems like the battery is having a problem. I charged my phone one morning and was 100% charged at 10am. I checked my facebook and whatsapp, the rest of the time was left idle. I turned on power saving option. By 3pm the battery runs at 85%. is it normal? Or is it because the apps weren’t properly closed causing the battery drain. I felt like the battery runs low faster than my old Samsung Tab 2.
Secondly, I tried using mp3 as my ringtone.It is a short mp3 however, there is no playback during incoming calls, so, the incoming calls runs very shortly due to the ringtone. How can I fix this?
Simon says
For battery related issues, you need check the battery usage details in Settings–battery–battery usage.
The ringing time actually is controlled by your carrier (and the caller’s carrier), not your phone. Anyway, did you try other ringtones?

Melissa Still says
Will a wireless charger work with a protective case on the phone? Don’t want to buy one if I will have to remove my case each time I want to use it.
On a side note I wish the Do Not Disturb feature had an option to turn off the LED as well like it did on my original Mega. Now I have to go in and do it manually every night and remember to turn it back on each morning. Hassle.
Thank you.
Simon says
It depends on the case. Most cases should have no issue with wireless charger. But some very thick ones, or those with special material, may have issues.
for the LED, as I know, it is not affected by do not disturb. In some previous Samsung devices, the blocking mode may block the led as well. But the new DND does not.

I had a great window (always open) where I could just type in something quickly and it would stay there until I deleted it. I’m not sure if it was S Memo or Note or what it was but I can’t find it anywhere now that I upgraded to the Note 5 from the Galaxy S5. I hope someone knows what I’m talking about although I might not have explained it thoroughly.
Simon says
S memo was retired long time ago from Note devices. Probably it is time to use Google Keep or S Note. But neither of them offer the widget for a blank sheet,

I have changed my ringtone to custom ringtone by selecting the mp3 in another folder when the pop up came out. Now I can’t go back and see the defaulted ringtones in system folder since it is hidden from the pop up and my files. How do I recover the defaulted ringtones so it will appear again in the pop up without resetting my phone?
Simon says
Clear defaults for the app you used to select mp3 file in settings – applications -default applications.
The default ringtones are always there. It’s not listed because you are using different app to select ringtone. After clear defaults for that app, it should ask you to choose app when setting ringtones, choose media storage, then you can see all the pre- installed ringtones.

Go to the email app and open. Go to ‘more'(top right hand side) and from ‘more’ then select ‘settings’. Hold your finger on your ‘account’ name to open and then edit account details. Halfway down the page is ‘Signature’, tap signature to enter and then edit, and turn off or on.

Hi when opening my first attachment on note 5, it gave me 3 options to open. I quickly pressed write on screen option. How do I change that because it does it by default now?
Simon says
This is a known problem in Galaxy Note 5 (and S6 edge+). The phone does not offer you the option to use the app just once or always. It assumes you will aways use that option.
You can go to Settings–Applications — Default applications. Tap clear next to the app is being used. Now, it should ask you to choose one. Next time, it will use this app automatically. you have to clear defaults if you need use different app. Very annoying.

Is the easy to use screen mirror function to.samsung tv no longer available in Note5? I can’t find it.
Simon says
The screen mirroring button can be found in quick settings.https://allaboutgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-5-how-to-guide/how-to-use-galaxy-note-5-quick-settings/
For some new Samsung TVs, you can also use quick connect in notification panel. But this works with only a few TV models.

Hi there,
In Note 4, it will pop up recomended apps to open a file, videos, music etc, you can select to use a particular app once or always.
In Note 5, the function has gone, once an app is selected, it will become the default. If I want to use a different app to open the file, I have to go into Default Application, clear the default before able to use another app.
Eg, if I click on a mp3, if I choose google player, it will default to it. If i click on another mp3, I cannot choose another player and it will just open google player.
If there a bend around way for this.
Thanks.

I’m trying to change the intervals from 5 minutes to 15.in my alarms but it won’t allow me to. Can this not be changed on the note 5

The alarm on Galaxy Note 5 now has less options. You have to try third party alarm apps.

Is there any way to assign a ringtone to voicemail notification? It seems to only use the default tone the phone uses for almost every ringer. I need to assign specific ringers to every aspect of communication.
Simon says
of course, you can set different notification tone for vociemail in Settings–Applications–Phone, you can find the Alert sound under voicemail, Set the notification tone for your voicemail there.

Tina martin says
I just got my note 5 and my voicemail says it is full. I cannot figure out how to get to all those messages and delete them?
Simon says
voicemail is managed by your carrier. All messages are saved on your carrier’s servers. Nothing is saved in the phone. You need check with your phone company on how to manage voicemail.

When I set unique contact ringtones in my Samsung Note II or Note 5 the only ringtone I receive is the default ringtone. How do I resolve this?
Simon says
Did you check the settings for that contact? A lot of users forget to apply the settings before navigating away.

Note 5 S Note is missing some function from Note 4.
Photo note in Note 5 no longer have the function to convert whiteboard image to edit, add frame or changing the effects as in Note 4.
Simon says
Yes, the photo note now does not have many editing features compared to Note 4. It is really disappointing for less-and-less S Note users.
The effects are limited to 3: no effects, white background with black& white, or non-white bg. You can still crop, rotate, or add section. That’s is more or less all for photo notes.
Please note, photo note is accessed through insert button. If you use camera button in the S Note widget, you can just take a picture with normal photo editing options.

Audrey Tan says
This is strange. Initially I was seeing “fast charging” but recently it is only showing “cable charging” and it is the same charger. Is there something I am missing?
Simon says
What’s the charging time? You may try to insert the USB cable tightly in both ends.

Audrey Tan says
Charging time from 15% – 100% initially took me less than 1.5hrs. But now, it takes 4hrs and charging is still ongoing. I tried to re-insert the usb cable, changed to another power socket but it still shows cable charging.

Puzzle has been resolved. Used my Note 4 adapter with my Note 5 cable, now charging is back to “Fast Charging” again. Seems like I have a defective Note 5 adapter.

How can I lock my screen automatically upon closing the S-View flip cover which would require a finger print or pass code to unlock when I open the cover? I can’t find an option in my settings.
Simon says
The official S view cover has this feature. You need check the the cover to see whether it’s genuine one.
Of course, you need set lock screen security in settings – lock screen and security. Got may follow this guide on galaxy note 5 lock screen

The cover is genuine. Is there something I’m over looking? When I go into the lock settings I don’t see an option to lock the screen with the cover, the only option is to lock with the power button. I have a 6 edge with genuine Samsung and have no problems.

Vickie Johnson says
I am not able to attach text message to a picture when I am sending one via text message. I click the paperclip icon and pick the pic I want and then the only option it gives me it to select send. I can not figure out how to attach text to the picture before sending. HELP! Thanks.
Simon says
You type text, attach the picture, then send.
What else do you want to do?
If you want to write text on the picture, you can do so in Gallery app. Then attach the modified picture.

Vickie Johnson says
It does seem that simple, so there must be a setting that I do not have turned on, etc. When I do what you suggest the text does not send with the picture. I type text, then use the paperclip to attach a picture and when I select my pic to attach the only option in that attachment screen where you see all my pics is SEND. Once I click that the picture sends separately and I am left with my text on the text screen still waiting to be sent. I can not get my text and pic to send at the same time. 🙁 HELP! 🙂
Simon says
Send button is on the right side. The left side under the picture is for you to type text.
Aftet the picture is selected, it should bring you back to the new messages screen.

Vickie Johnson says
Yes, I am using the one that came with the phone. I have changed nothing. I have tried and tried and the only way it is possible to attach text to a picture is to forward the pic. It allows me to add text to the pic. I have found no other way. I have had many phones, including Samsungs and they have always allowed text with the picture. A friend has the Note 4 and it lets you attach text to pics. My does not unless I forward a pic. Do you have a Note 5 and you are able to attach text to pics?
Thanks!
Simon says
Of course, we have note 5 and tested it. There are no problems as you mentioned.
You can try to compose a new message. Check the left side of the send button, under the picture.

Jaime says
Hey Vickie – did you ever figure this out? I have the exact same issue and it’s bothered me since I got the phone! I, too, don’t see what Simon is mentioning, so, I wonder if it’s based on carrier-specific messaging issues? I have T-Mobile, any chance that’s who you have? I’d love to find a solution for this…
Vickie Johnson says
Hello Jamie, I can only type a message with a pic if I forward it. So frustrating. I do also have T Mobile and a T Mobile store employee said it is a T Mobile problem. To date, I am still not able to add a comment to a pic I have just taken and attached. 🙁
Simon says
did you try Hangouts? You can set Hangouts as default SMS client although it is not a good SMS client.

C deSdae says
Those are the instructions for the S6, not the Note 5. There isn’t the option to add another field on the Note 5.

Add another field is surely available in Note 5’s contacts app. You need make sure the contact is NOT on SIM card.
You can create a new contact on the phone and then test.

I just bought the note 5 and cannot figure out how to turn the screen mirroring on. There isn’t a button anywherr! Help!

LindaB says
I just reset my Note 5 to factory default. Now I don’t have an icon for screen mirroring. It was there before the reset, but not now. Instead of “Screen Mirroring” I have something called “Smart View” but it doesn’t pick up my Chromecast like Screen Mirroring did.
My TV is a Samsung, but not a smart TV. And I use Chromecast to watch Netflix, but I also was able to screen mirror from my phone to TV using the Chromecast and screen mirroring.
Is there anyway to get the “Screen Mirroring” option back?
Simon says
For Chromecast, you should use Chromecast app, and then select screen cast for screen mirroring.
