10 Hidden Features of the Galaxy Note 5 You Don't Know About

[@devancowan]

Got this phone the first day it came out here in Canada and I'm very impressed. Never have I had a note and I might never go back to anything else. The screen quality and speed is amazing since I watch a lot of youtube and other streaming services on it. I cant get enough of the S-pen and it makes writing down notes super easy and convenient. So happy I decided to get the Note 5!

[@alluvedits9485]

I'm considering buying it I hope it's good.

[@mykeekym]

+Devan Cowan I Agree, i just got mine 2 days ago. And i really felt that its going to be my favorite phone when I was holding it and setting it up. It's just smooth when it comes to opening apps, going in and out of it. Now my next mission is how to stay it this way for the next 5 years, both internal and aesthetics. I will grow with this phone for sure.

[@alluvedits9485]

+zeidmyk I got it :D

[@mykeekym]

Now I am trying to do a stress test on the internals to really make sure it can withstand arduous task. I got 9 hrs of battery before charging it at 24%.

[@Rmalikk]

Yeah truly is a beast

[@TheRiz52]

You recommend resetting weekly/daily. Why? what will this do to any data or saved settings?

[@asifurrahmanasif5809]

please help me to take a decision Which one I buy? Note 5 duos 64GB or Honor 8 64GB???

[@Hbrown8888]

I cannot find the Auto Restart function?? Do I have to enable it? Your Back Up and restore section looks completely different than what I'm working with... please help.

[@proasian3]

me either. I'm on t-mobile what are you on?

[@greenstx]

...

[@jonathansaucedo1924]

I have the Note 5 ATT and I also don't have the restart function.

[@RudyCantGame]

he did say he has an international version.

[@deedeesnicks]

I don't have the auto restart either

[@harveygrant8026]

There's a Note, and then there's every other phone, simple and plain. No other phone compares.

[@usconceptschannel]

Wow. I have to say that was the most unique hidden feature video I have seen. How did you find all of those features? Just with playing or? Way more in-depth than anyone else. Intriguing.

[@katrinawhite8572]

Best one yet. REAL hidden features and tips, not the same things everyone else shows.

[@angelinaharshbarger4860]

love my note 5

[@fargeeks]

yeah I enjoy it too

[@BTSARMYGIRL-vk6qi]

Same

[@jacey7777]

LoL what do u have now?

[@aladamson9058]

who would want to give their note 5 to a baby??

[@JennieKW]

+Al Adamson You would be surprised the lengths people will go to to keep their kids quiet and out of their hair. It's ridiculous how young kids are now a days that have phones and tablet, technology is take people over literally

[@JennieKW]

Ha don't tell me tell them....lol I have one and he is 20.

[@onesheisty]

@AskTheAndroidGuy you should consider letting people know you are on the international version of the N5. Particularly the the auto restart feature you mention around 3:38 . Its not available on the regular version. People searching the net for this feature you describe is actually a thing now lol and users are frustrated that it is not present some N5s.

[@jyboyone4204]

the intro is how I only you, don't change anything brother, keep this up exactly the same, I love your reviews and haters going to hate. #dontchange

[@ilovetech]

ok !!!no one hating

[@SCG77]

just sharing : 1. floating keyboard missing - helps when you're on multi-window and typing 2. stylus writing - keyboard pop-ups - not friendly in multi-window mode. - referencing difficult. - direct pen input not available for some app.

[@Maryam-bh9yq]

thx man this made my decision way easier. I'm definitely going to get the Galaxy Note 5 tomorrow 👍 👍

[@sarojpandey3304]

sweet I was wondering when you were going to do this for the note 5 but within the first week is awesome. I subscribed!

[@SCG77]

restrict networks : i think the more concerning restriction to impose would be during mobile hotspot - where the other phone you allowed to connect to your network starts to treat it as WIFI and then background app starts to update. takes up all my data. :(

[@vengleapchan2933]

16 minutes of my life i can't get back

[@PootsMgee]

u sat there for 15 minutes watching something you don't like?

[@vengleapchan2933]

um... problem??? back off hater

[@PootsMgee]

+leap kite No prob son just wonderin.

[@PootsMgee]

+Michael Hawkins thought it was funny... watching and wanting to discuss like. makes me laugh. I like know I have the self control to stop watching and not be salty.

[@PootsMgee]

+Michael Hawkins mmmm.... autocorrect

[@cnswanson7207]

This guy sounds like Ben Stien from Ferris Bulers day off lol Buler, Buler, Buler

[@anthonyholy2001]

Just got my new Note 5 today. Enjoyed your video, but bummed that for whatever reason mine doesn't have all the same things yours does (i.e. the Smart Manager). Bummer!

[@bmwcarrmann429]

Hello Ricky that was very informative and I like your channel.i learned alot and didn't any of those features were available.well I learn something new everyday.thanks for sharing those valuable tips.

[@janmorrida3724]

Dude, you talk at at snails pace.

[@appywanderers]

Well spoken description with good visual presentation. Not a tech person but a mid aged hitch to the ride tech wave experience. You provide a vehicle to fast track the learning curve. Good on ya for keeping the aged feel they are still in the loop. I have progressed from Motorola to HTC upgrade to iphone 4 then Samsung Galaxy 4 and Galaxy 10.5 tab and now find the Note 5 is the perfect fit. Am I consumer yes? But have established what really fits my needs as I reach the later side of 50. Sorry for my contribution to the landfill sights.

[@StPeteG8r]

Thank you so much for this informative video. I am about to purchase a Samsung Note 5, your clip showed some very important tips that will be sure to come in very handy.

[@musicbymark]

It would be really helpful if you would list the contents and the exact time when each feature appears in your video so people could skip to the ones that they need to know and skip over others they either aren't interested in or already are aware of. Thank you for the video on this decent phone that is still working for me, though it was replaced through the reconditioned insurance from Asurion twice in the past 2 years or so.

[@angelacox9765]

on my galaxy note 5 I don't have that option to autorestart my phone in the backup/reset settings tab

[@JenniferFuchek]

angela cox I have the T-Mobile version here's a way to try to find it... go to Smart Manager > More (upper right corner) > Auto restart

[@angelacox9765]

Jennifer Pitts I will check that out later. thank you.

[@SugarGemCrafts]

This is a genuine suggestion... Not being a smart ass, but you should really look into hypnosis. There are some people that do KZbin hypnosis videos and your voice is perfect. Very soothing and hypnotic. Seriously.

[@IgnacioCuriel]

Hello. By any chance, are you the same guy who works for this other software company called Nevercenter? Your voice sounds sooo very similar. Thanks for your videos in AskTheAndroidGuy.

[@orcaspest]

Great tips, thank you! Like many, I have the Smart Manager but not the option "manage apps" in RAM.

[@noorsayed4349]

I cannot see the MANAGE APPS tab under the RAM menu on my note 5. and I set my finger print lock screen with my TOE (sounds stupid) how can I change it again to THUMB. thanks

[@noorsayed4349]

[@zxybabydoll]

just a question on your 10 hidden features video, you said that the phone will automatically Reset itself are you referring to a factory reset or...??? What kind of reset are you referring to? or were you meaning to power restart the phone as in power cycling it or something else? I was genuinely curious because it doesn't quite make sense...

[@MrValaras]

he meant restart

[@Angelskris333]

Thanks for the info! Got mine yesterday because i had my last one for 2 years and it was crappy. OMGOSH!!! I love it, great pictures and easy note taking. I even drew a cute pic to send to someone. I don't mind seeing my messages on lock screen, i just don't like seeing the "Tmobile updates service" on locked screen. Anyway I can get rid of that?

[@tryingcake101]

well I followed along step by step - my brand new Note 5 does not have some of the features you demonstrated. Do you know why this would be?

[@prakashroyston]

Thanks android guy. Learnt more hidden features now. How to use smart gesture

[@bambinothegreat9245]

I have Verizon and the auto restart feature is not available on mine either 😕 Wonder why they would do that. Is there a way around it? Maybe by form of an app or rooting the phone if possible? Thank you your great insights.

[@creativeimagesphotographyl9880]

So the Note 5 can take Raw photos and other neat photo modes but are those available on the Note 4 ? further more which would You Buy the Note 4 with its fast charging removable Batt or the Note 5 fixed Batt updated Note etc?

[@SarpSerter]

I don't have the option to manage Apps inside Smart MAnager's RAM section. I have a Note5. How do you enable it?

[@spilldabeanz]

i don't have half of these options :(

[@guchi65ify]

Sheena Gadson My phone also does not have many options

[@LadyASolveg]

waheji k which phone do you have?

[@ginaalber3186]

You present information so well. Thanks. I don;t have all of the features you described on my own Note 5, though. :-(

[@phenixboy1]

You can add a screen saver on the reverse side this will help with the slippery feel but the phone will have a dull look. amazing phone!

[@EccentricWorld]

I dont know about you guys and gals but I'm falling asleep here :s I don't know if its the voice or bland video....

[@АйнурГинятоваЕ]

Ппппаррр

[@BurningMoonlight]

On some devices auto restart is under General Management then click Reset and it's at the very bottom.

[@Chepecafeteria]

hidden if you don't explore your phone and/or if you're blind.

[@chickenclips]

add dumb to the list

[@jewelskbtj]

chepe perez uhgj

[@tro2463]

I just got my SG Note 5 and I don't have the option for auto restart.

[@proasian3]

me either. what gives?

[@JCRFit]

T Ro I heard that it depends on your carrier..I have TMobile and I dont have it either.

[@proasian3]

+justin ramos yah reading below apparently it depends on the model you get

[@sner888]

I have it in mine. Purchased in Singapore.

[@reerbaadia1896]

+sner888 how much was it?

[@lance4862]

Great video!v Thanks for showing me how to get smart shapes or autoshapes working on my new device.

[@JohnnyReyGonzalez]

Didn't know about the directional lock and I've had it forever I love it thank you sir

[@noonghazi]

this is brilliant :D thank you for the video :D

[@Vscounter]

I have a suggestion, make the list of all the features and put the time under description. 17 minutes for 10 features is simply too long

[@MettiHerjouMobi86]

You talk very slow ..!

[@alainischileno]

+Metti Herjou i had to speed it up to 1.25 to make it more bearable lol

[@MauiXoXo]

slow talker!!!! 🐌 🐌 🐌 🐌 🐌 🐌 wahhhhh.Dude! Come on!

[@RichardCraig]

+Xannieria I was just gonna comment the same thing, haha... he sounds perfectly normal at 1.5x speed.

[@eastcoastdipper8885]

So who cares people today are so impatient you don't have anything better to do

[@2JJays]

+Firework Squid completely agree

[@nicolej8898]

Hi. great video, very helpful, thanks. 1st question--any clue why my note5 doesn't give me an auto restart option? Actually your settings screen is different from mine, in that it includes in Backup and reset the category "device maintenance", while mine just allows me to look at settings for Google or Samsung accounts or the factory settings. Just wondering if my phone could be a bit different. I already tried the lock accessibility function you showed and it worked great. But for me, I have to turn it on and turn it off with volume down and home button pressed simultaneously. ( you turned it on with volume and lock screen depressed). I bought this phone yesterday and am terrible with electronics, wondering if I somehow already screwed it up. thanks.

[@amotley7495]

Hello, great Channel, I have sprint note 5, it doesn't have Smart manager, is it avaible in the app store? thank you

[@divorcethehorse-gettingoff7702]

Don't forget the exploding screen with purple splotches! Commonly happens shortly after a year of service!

[@raznai]

my favorite hidden feature is the emergency mode. you can press your power button three times and it will send a picture, video and sound of your surrondings to whoever you pick as your emergency people. more than one person if you want. great feature to keep you safe. can you do a video on that to let people know?

[@Dabridge703]

Thx, I'll use that feature everytime I get pulled over for now on... (DWB)

[@Sekpisal009]

I really appreciate your video. I'm using note 5, but I can't turn on Save as Raw Files. Thank you.

[@RevLauren1111]

I'm assuming that some of the people ragging on the video or on each other have finally figured out that your CARRIER can modify the UI however it wants. Verizon trashed several features on my Note 5, including Auto Restart, along with Samsung Cloud (which I did get back using a utility to find the "activity"), the RAM Manager--requires getting through several layers of menu, and so forth. There were a number of posts in the Verizon customer forum. Verizon doesn't actually care what we think.

[@paulbeasley3779]

hello Ricky, what carrier do you have?

[@aldiven3424]

Thank you Ricky for this informative video. Truly appreciate it!

[@j.w.hunter8126]

Can you NFC contacts from another phone (Galaxy S4) to the Note 5? Just what can you or can't you NFC between phones. Thanks.

[@SCG77]

it's funny when some people can't find the auto-restart function and start posting here as though you're liable for it.. btw, where's my auto-restart function?????????

[@mikeyfl]

Is there any way to enable, add back, or install all of these missing features on the Verizon note 5 phone? Thanks

[@NicholasPutz]

Good video! Some nice features I never seemed to find.

[@SuperStarSweeti]

Hi, Ricky! I'm not finding the smart manager on my note 5 or the auto restart option under my backup and reset. Do you know why this might be?? Thanks!

[@marysullivan6136]

Wow oh Wow thank you for explaining great features did know any of these. And you explain things great

[@jgambler1188]

your videos are the most helpful. thanks

[@ThePener]

This vid was for 16+ mins, while it could've been for only 6 mins... Throw some enthusiasm

[@mrlyles2002able]

Thanks for the tips. Extremely helpful.

[@ActionJackson000]

You should talk to subjects that are enrolled in a sleep therapy program.

[@loveslife7334]

Hi, Question on my note 2 I was able to add a msg to my phone on the home page and lock screen. CAN the note 5 do this?

[@joancadava8110]

Just got my phone and I'm really excited about. I think its really cool knowing its hidden features!

[@iDonzzy]

Is there a safe way to root this w/o tripping knox?

[@ceehacker386]

Where can I get the stand you use to prop up your note 5?

[@JRDNGIXX]

Here's a question AG. I got this phone on T-Mobil and it won't allow me to compose a text on a picture message. When I select a pic from the text box it automatically sends that picture (since the only option is send and there's no attach button) subsequently I have the same issue when I go to pictures and try sending them out same thing doesn't give me an option to edit or compose a message just auto send? I'm always forced to send a second message to say what I needed to say associated with the pic text. It's annoying. Any tips. Thanks!

[@ST4R_G9L1XYS]

hi Ricky! thanks for the video i want to install the extension pack to maximize the Snote and secure my notes with password. But i get the notification that the app is not available for the device.

[@lostshadow2012]

very nice features and nicely presented . well done my friend

[@Hayat-bq9mp]

I really like your subject. I was wondering how come I don't have some of them like the smart manager, an option to create a pattern in the vibration and to back up data it's not under Samsung account. what can I do.

[@johansmit1603]

And you are able to capture a screenshot by holding the home and power button fot about a second, witch is a very good feature because other phones like a sony dont offer that feature. For example if you want to capture a frame of a KZbin video it calls up the pause and the skip forward and backward and the name of thevideo to on other devices. Samesung enables you to capture the screen without any disturbance

[@DarthTraderMaul]

Interesting finds, thank you.

[@RafaelFlorez9228]

i do not have the auto restart option you say should be under backup and restore. Are there changes i have to make to show this that maybe you didnt explian?

[@mustafa-oq6fg]

bro my note 5 doesn't have the manage apps feature in ram section

[@pixelatedsn0w94]

My back up and reset settings are very limited compared to the one shown in the video, don't know if AT&T locked it or something

[@quinnmagtibay5897]

hi just want to ask how to turn off the sounds of the camera when you taking a picture?

[@jerh6210]

I am trying to do the smart manager auto stop feature. When I stop everything I do not have the option to manage applications. Any advice?

[@0megaJB]

They must have gotten rid of manage apps under the RAM section. I have 5.1.1 on Tmobile and that tab isn't there. Some good stuff and not too long of a video. Thanks

[@duffywolves]

@AskTheAndroidGuy on my device, under the smart management/ram has no option for manage apps to automatic stop them. why is it?

[@simony9344]

Really helpful thanks!

[@lifeafterdeathisreal7144]

thnk you man.. helps a lot

[@osmonddsouza]

Nice Video..... Learnt some new things.

[@mht718]

I don't have a smart manager on my note 5 that come with most Samsung like you stated. How am I suppose to clear ram?

[@itzcain81]

just got a note 5 a few days ago and dont have 3 of those features pro mode in camera auto restart and the app where you can clear your ram is the somthing certain i have to do to get those?

[@jaboeabutler7374]

hello, when go to manage my apps in the background like you did it wouldn't give me that option. Any idea to what to do ?

[@mikerotman2472]

Just got my 5 on marshmallow- doesn't allow me to create my own vibration. Did they get rid of that ?

[@unicornwrangla1996]

Can you please tell me how to back up data on apps. I have an app i use called Mood Log I use for medically necessary notes 3 to 6 times a day to track my health triggers. Can you please tell me how to back the app Mood Log??? I would be devastated if I lost all that data...

[@dirkdiggler2695]

For interaction control I don't have the options that you do like time limit, power button.

[@ahmadalwoqayyan9756]

thanks dude great work keep it up

[@wasfiiwasfi]

i like the way you talk !! great video buddy

[@kevork1741]

Thank you for all of that but my smart manager is not the same as yours does not show manage apps after clearing all

[@itsbritneybisch8552]

A cool one: If you open your camera and long press on the side buttons (what you usually use to adjust the volume), you can take burst shots. P.S. Can't this guy say his name? Does he really have to spell it out twice?

[@Ryuudo123]

+I.M. O. you can also hold the camera button on the screen (the normal one you use to take photos with) and it will also do burst shots

[@michaelthomas8895]

I can't find most of these features on my note. How do you get ur settings to look like that mine are deffernet

[@obayilmaz10]

hi do you have any idea why I don't have the manage apps option under the ram..??

[@justme4569]

very very helpful !!!
