Note 5 - settings menu - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Probably a very stupid question but here goes: in reviews I can see the settings menu consists of several pages which you scroll through in a horizontal fashion. But my in Note 5 (SM-N9200), the settings is just a long list vertically... Is this a difference between variants?

Same question here, SM-N920i.
Sorry guys...

There doesn't appear to be such an option.

I don't have the three dots menu in the Settings section. They are missing there...

I have list view too, but i like it better like that especially with Material Theme

I have the tabbed view with the AT&T variant, anyone figure out a fix for this yet? There is no option to switch views when hitting the "more" button where the 3 dots used to be.

Why is there 2 different galleries??

I'm confused by your question.. What 2 galleries are you talking about?
are you talking about shortcuts? Its possible you added another short cut to your home screen. I don't see how you could have two gallery apps

[Q] Short cut icons missing

Hi guys,

Enter the app drawer, hit menue and then edit. Draw the icons you like to the bar at the bottom.

Nova Launcher

For anyone running Nova Launch on their Gear...
How can we get some sort of actual watch functionality?
It's cool having a full-fledged launcher on my watch, but it would also be
pretty damn nifty to have a clock on my watch
Widgets are no-go, so that's out of the question...
Is a lockscreen the answer? and how could that be arranged?
I was able to get the clock/weather widget on Go Launcher Ex. The weather isn't working, but the clock is a go.

With novalauncher, move the app apk after installing from data/app to system/app and reboot. Then you can use widgets. Minimalistic text is a good widget to start with because you can customize everything about the time, date, battery etc. It was easier to set it up on my phone, export the config, push it to the watch and import it.

Looks very good!
Did You succeed with creating shortcuts to specific contacts or "quick dial" list or in any other way to see "all contacts" AND "preferred contacts" ?
I am kind of waiting for Samsung to update the firmware, but as this is not happening - I will probably root and install NOVA as I use it on Note3 anyway
Battery widget JINASYS is also very nice.
What about power use with the background - did You notice if it is shorter? - amoled screen draw no power when it is black, so I'd rather keep the background black.

You can add shortcuts, widgets, quick dials and basically anything you can do on your phone when you have the APK in the system directory. Also I am getting 2-3 days battery life from my gear atm, my wallpaper is now mostly white and it still doesn't affect it very much. The latest firmware update for the gear did wonders for battery usage.

Do you need root access to do this? I can not find the apk for nova on the gear? The data folder is empty.

Never mind. I figured it out. I went ahead and rooted then turned on the root access in file manager and set to read and write. then I could see all the folders and files to follow your instructions. Thanks.
I just got my gear less then a week ago. I am interested in doing this but I was wondering if you do this can you still get notifications and s voice if you do this?

Is your background picture? Going to edge of Gear? If so what picture widget are you using?
I tried one photo widget app, but it didn't go to the edges, and it looked funny.

He is taking about favorite contacts. So if you want to call someone you don't have to go through all three contacts to do so.....
I have been looking for an answer to this question as well, but have been unable to find it.

Hey... How did you get Nova Prime on your gear? I've been trying to do that for over a week and haven't been able to. I've paid for it and have it running on my Note 3. Any hints?

Different wallpaper per screen question

Although I'm not a developer I'm posting this question here because I've had no luck in other forums. Is there a way to create different wallpaper for each of the screens on my Note 5? I would like to have different wallpapers with each of my favorite sports teams on each screen. I can't believe there isn't a way to do this but other than one app(that didn't work) I've had no luck.

I've been trying to get it to work but to no avail. I have it configured for 5 pictures, 1 for each of my 5 screens and I have those 5 pics in a separate album from all my other pics. I can only get a single one to show at a time and it doesn't change when I change screens. I've emailed the developer but no response yet.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 home screen

Can anyone help? The notification area at the top of the screen is dark when I'm at the home screen. How do I make it lighter? http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/57b3e372ebe32/Screenshot_20160816-205632.png?

Figured it out. Went into Nova Launcher settings >> Look and feel >> Turned off Dark Icons and Transparency.
Problem solved!
