Smart Select has been Downgraded. - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With the Note 4, you could use Smart Select and select text on the screen. It gave you the option to extract that text to use some where else. If it was an address, it gave you the option to get directions to that address. If it was a number, gave you the option to call it. Now you can only save it to the gallery, scrapbook or share it as a picture.

Ahhhh! Just got my Note 5 and this is driving me bananas. Anyone come up work a remedy? I really miss this from the note 4 as this was my primary s pen usage.

Infact you can still do it but you have to select it when you single line cursor. I havent understood how to get it all the time. Something with button and distance from screen. If you get square cursor with + then you only get as image. If you get a dot then single I shape curson then you can select as text

I'm sorry, Netuser could you explain a little further? I've communicated with Samsung and they've stated the feature has been removed. Just so you're clear on what's being described, on the Note 4 if you "smart selected" an image with an address in it, a "T" would appear in the upper right corner. Clicking on that "T" would give you the option to copy the address text, look at the address on Google Maps (or your favorite map/navigation app) and share the info with others. If we're talking about the same thing, could you explain your process again? Thanks.

Just keep pressing the button on the spen and drag along the text to select the text. .then you get your options

Thanks for the reply, but again, I don't think you understand the feature I'm referencing from the Note 4. Also, the feature I'm referencing was confirmed by Samsung to not be in the Note 5.
The feature doesn't deal with the copying of text. It deals with extracting text from an image that is captured using the "smart select" function. Depending on the text that was in the image, it could be copied, automatically converted to a calendar entry or even converted into an address in Google Maps.
I'm 100% confident the feature isn't in the Note 5. I'm more so curious as to whether a comparable 3rd party solution was available (not Samsung's OCR app mentioned in other boards) or a way to "port" that feature into the Note 5.

Why would you capture it as image and then extrat text while now you can select and copy the text. Or maybe you are talking about extracting text from any image. I never had note 4 so i dont really know what was that .

He is talking about Extracting Text from image (as mentioned here https://youtu.be/mgcDxDwwL_c?t=1m43s [Pause Video at 1:47 and you will see the "T"].)
This was a very important feature that I used often on the Note 4, I'm pretty ticked off/unhappy that it's been removed.
It comes in handy when you sent a PDF that can't be edit, nor holding the S-Button down does not allow text selection.
There are other used for it, but each may have their own "use case."
(This and the Collections in Scrapbook are not missing, 2 features I became attached to on Note 4. Collections are still there, sorta, just not as easy to access or create as it was before by simply taping the collect icon when using Smart Select.)

Last night I was able to get this... Twice. See image below... Since, it has not worked again...

Samsung actually brought it back in the last firmware update. It's not exactly the same as the Note 4's implementation but at least it's a start! Maybe they'll bring back full functionality in the Marshmallow update?

Maybe someone with marshmallow can chime in

[Discussion] Direct Bluetooth Connection in Autoremote

Looks like the latest update for autoremote allows direct communication over bluetooth! This should be very useful to Galaxy Gear users!
I'm still tinkering with it, and haven't successfully sent a command. Just wanted to know how it was going for you guys!

I'm not able to get this feature working at all. I even tried sending a command to my Note 3 from my GNex. Unless the GNex was connected to the internet, no command was sent. I'm kind of relieved it is not a compatability issue with gear, but I have no idea what's going wrong! Any feedback from the community would be great! Has anyone been successful?

Just finished setting it up, works perfect !
Tasker integration on the gear is a go !
Some tips:
1. You need to active the bluetooth message listener using a tasker action, I personally have set up the listener to be activate if my gear is connected via bluetooth & deactivated if its not.
*NOTE* Its the only way to activate it.
2. The service must be enabled on both devices, I believe... ALTHOUGH ! someone please try only activating it on your phone tho to see if this is correct.. Im just speculating.

And to answer YOUR question, I have the listener activated on the phone only and it works from that direction: watch > phone.
Wanted to let you guys know that tasker app factory works.
This is very useful for things like starting autovoice from the stock launcher, or sending a button press event to the phone's tasker.
With this, autovoice, autoremote, and null rom, my tasker needs are complete!
I just need to find the correct size icon, because my icon doesn't look good (too small)

Is there a way to set your watch to tether to your note 3, when the note 3 flips to 4g?
Here is my problem. When home I use wifi all the time, which prevents you from ticking Bluetooth tether on your phone.
So I set up a tasker task to turn on Bluetooth tether when I leave the house, because I go to 4g.
Now what I would like to do is set up a task on my gear to automatically connect to the note?
Is there anyway to do this?

Dont, Its a bad idea.. will drain your battery.
What I have setup is a gesture on novalauncher to activate tethering and a timeout function when the screen is off for 30 seconds.
30 seconds screen off time = tethering disabled.

What does your microphone key do on your droid 4 jellybean /ICS?

This is a discussion about the 'Hard Slide out keyboard'
I have not seen very many posts on this problem which leads me to believe it is not happening with all of the droid 4 jellybean.
on my device it will activate 'Google search' no matter what screen is being displayed.
I went directly from gingerbread to jellybean so i do not know if ICS had this problem
in gingerbread if i was in a text field the mic button on the hard keyboard would bring up 'Voice Recognition' Exactly what you would expect but i can not get it to do this on jellybean at all and have looked for a fix but have not found one.
If any one has a droid 4 on jellybean that can get the 'voice recognizer' to open when in a text field, could you please post here..
or let me know if this was available on ICS..
Thanks, Rich

I am completely stock now. I will be rooting soon. Perhaps the reason I have not seen any other posts on this is most users that use the hard keyboard most likely do not use the voice recognizer. I rarely use it but there are a few times when it comes in handy. If I close the slide out I can get it to work with the soft keyboard but this is not a good option for me.

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there's an app that will let me key in and send my text message from Gear. I'm not using any custom ROM but I have already sideloaded a QWERTY keyboard. Can you also suggest a 3x4 keyboard (the one used on older phones) because QWERTY just haviny keys for typing. I hope you can help me, thanks!

How do you text from you gear exactly? I have never used tablet talk but I'm looking into getting it, does it have a built in messaging app you can use to receive and type up messages from the gear? Also, can I still use the stock messaging up on my phone along with whatever is running on the gear?

I am currently running Stock ROM with a pushed APK of tablet talk and Google Keyboard. For me, the Google keyboard doesn't cover the whole screen and I am able to see about the first 4-5 words, which works great for me.

You must have tablet talk installed on both devices so that they are able to communicate with each other via bluetooth.
How to install:
- Download/purchase the app on your phone
- Copy the .apk file from /data/app on your phone to your gear (via bluetooth or computer transfer)
- install the app on your gear
- [IMPORTANT] Set up your gear as a phone and phone as a tablet. This makes the two pair properly. Otherwise you can't pair them due to the tiny gear screen
- In settings, switch the phone to phone and the gear to tablet.
- Install a keyboard if you don't already have one.
- Note - you must be bluetooth tethered from your phone to receive internet connection for this to work
- Enjoy
After about 3 days of trial and error, this is the only way I could find to set the 2 up properly. I hope this helps others.

It seems texting directly from the Gear is something to be used sparingly. On a normal work day (w/o TT) I would come home and the Gear would be at 81%. My first day of using TT and texting from my Gear exclusively, I hit 50% in 4 hours.

Ive just recently noticed an issue withhe stock camera. I can open it, but i cant tap anything, no matter where i tap on the screen nothing happens, i can take pictures with the volume button though.

Heres a screen recording of the issue, as you can see the touch pointers still come up and i can pull down the notification panel so it registers the touch just nothing happens. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fixkcc3obumx0kr/SCR_20150128_134444.mp4?dl=0

OK. What i see seems like everything should work. Just wondering what you have check or not in Developer Options, also (just guessing) for giggle, wondering if video you froze or stock launcher have anything to do with it. Can you try unfreeze this, restart phone and check., but first let me know developers options.

The thing is, those have been ftozen and there were no problems, infact, i think the launcher was frozen by the system cause i never did, i did try rebooting with gallery unfroze though, it gave me a server error and then opened the second time, still not working though. Here the developer options

Nevermind, found an apk, put in in /system/priv-app/ and rebooted, same thing, opens fine but no response to touch at all.

Same happened here
I bought an S3 before Christmas on eBay - OTA'd it to 4.3 (not knowing about Knox - slaps himself on head oh vey) and didn't really get round to starting using it as a main phone until this week, was showing it to someone - went to take a selfie and snap - camera opens but touch control on the buttons doesn't work.
Have installed Camera360 which works fine. So you aren't alone. Have you gotten any further with the problem - I might try downloading and flashing a camera from recovery maybe.
Hope we get it sorted

Dont really want to update cause I wouldnt be able to use the rom im on, Seems kind of strange there would be a bug in it that would show up out of nowhere and that no one else has had the issue. Im not doubting the fact it may have been fixed, i just dont really want to yet.

Marshmallow Visual Voicemail

I know it's supported by T-Mobile. I can't get it to work whatsoever. I'm not even getting notifications that I'm getting voicemail. When I check them every caller is unknown. I've always used Google voice on every phone. I flashed the factory image and set up my mailbox. Is there something im missing to get visual voicemail to work?

In the phone/dialer there should be a tab - you may have to toggle it on/off.
mine worked right away, didnt set anything up, it was just there

Can you elaborate on this?
I'm having trouble accessing Visual Voicemail as well, don't see the tab or toggle/options in the dialer.

I do not see this toggle, am I missing it in the Settings? I see General , Calls, Advanced. And digging through the sub menus doesn't yield anything that I can see.

Think I figured it out. I'm on 5.1.1! I got an update today... and I'm still on 5.1.1? How odd, thanks for the help.
