any Note 5 users experience having to reset/redo your security on your phone? i usually set my security to "pattern" when i have to unlock the phone after it times out. on occasion when i'm taking my phone out of my pocket and want to unlock it, rather than entering my "pattern" password it somehow gestures to just "tap/slide anywhere on screen" to unlock it; and when i look at my security settings it's set on "pattern".

Check your lock time, it could be that not enough time had passed.

Ugh. Why can't I copy and paste like I could on my Nexus 6 ?

On this Note 5 I try it the same. Highlight a website address in blue, press the copy key thing. And then I'll tap in a reply box on a forum, long press the blank area, and typically the thing I copied should show an option to paste. But it doesn't.

That always worked for me on my Nexus 6. Am I doing something wrong ? I need to enable some setting ?

Try a different browser? IIRC it might be browser based. I don't remember the details but I think I ran into this on my old Note 3 back in the day. Which browser are you using? I tend to use either Chrome or Firefox.

I use Chrome and Google Keyboard.

I went back to the Touchwiz keyboard to test that out, and still same issue.

Yeah, that happens to me sometimes. It's wierd, it doesn't always copy, sometimes if I try again it'll do it, others I'll pull the spen out and used that to copy.

Couldn't it be a carrier thing? (Keyboard copy issue) Never had it happen to me yet on either S6 Edge / Note 5 or my S6 Edge Plus ...

Very strange indeed.

The S-Pen doesn't copy paste at all for me. It will copy, buy then not paste.

Keyboards I've tried both. And neither paste, they both copy alright, but then I tap in the blank area waiting for the paste option part to appear, and nothing...

Could it be the custom rom or tweaks you have done? I can copy paste on my Vzw Note 5

On my t-mobile note 5, it works. With the s pen, it's even easier.

Damn! That's better than nice!:eek: T-Mobile? Where?
As it is in Austria/Europe, it sadly won't help you I guess, and it is "3 Österreich" as you can see in the left upper corner.

We are on a good place regarding mobile Internet it seems, I do have unlimited Internet (13GB fullspeed 4G 150/50 Mbit), 2000min in Austria to every Provider, 400min into any country in EU, and 1000 SMS in Eu...

And I have to pay € 26.--/month

Yeah there is a disparity somewhere between what was announced yesterday and their website. Perhaps again only certain territories will get the 128gb version?

this! when original Note 10.1 came, an only option was 16gb model to buy althought there were other storage versions too. and it was always the same that samsung only sold lower storage models here. i think it has changed nowadays and they offer all versions of devices today.
