Hello All,
I have just recently made the move from iphone 4 to Android. Galaxy Note is my first ever android phone and i must say i am impressed. Everything is working the way i want it to except one thing that just bugs the hell out of me.
I am still new to android so my phone is pretty default, meaning i have not modified any of the core things or in iphone terms, "jail-broken" it. I am currently on the 2.3.6 version of Android.
Now, the app that allows me to make phone calls, named "Phone" is giving me an inconvenience. The menu bar that has "Keypad", "Logs", "Contacts" and so forth is at the very top of the phone. The Galaxy Note being a rather big phone, requires me to stretch my thumb on either hand in order to reach it.
Is it possible to move that menu bar to the bottom of the phone instead of the top?
A friend of mine told me i'd be able to adjust it if i'm on ICS, can anyone who is currently running ICS confirm that?
Thank You In Advance,
Good Day
Yep, just be patient!

Even I have same problem on my SGN bought in India. I'm using "ExDialer and Contacts" app with SGS 2 theme. Even this has lag but only 1-2 seconds.
Hello!
Im using Asylum ICS rom, and i have no lag in contacts/dialer.
Are you running stock rom? maybe something with original rom that causes the lag.
As for the whiteness i dont seem to have any problem what i can see.
I had the same problem and fallowed this tutorial: and started fresh with my Galaxy Note and everything works fine since then.
Maybe you have a different problem but it's worth to give it a try
No lags on my Galaxy Note From day one..
If you are On stock GB . Perform a factory Reset/Data wipe.
after that In display settings Check No animations.
If you are Rooted Uninstall all the Samsung useless stuff.
If this will Not help Search a custom Rom that suits you best.
Thane flash it.
Enjoy your Note.
Hello Internets, new poster here.
After many hours of trawling through the internet and coming up short I thought I'd register here and see if I can't get to the bottom of my issue. I have a Galaxy S6, and a friend is lending me his Galaxy Gear original as he doesn't have much use for it anymore (switched to a Nokia running Windows). It's been fun to have and play around with, apart from one small problem; no notifications aside from SMS'. None whatsoever. I've gone through the gear manager and ticked every box for every notification setting and still I get nothing apart from texts and calls. Does anyone know why this is and how I should go about fixing it? I'm aware that it's an older device, but I see no reason why I should have these problems, its a watch DESIGNED for Galaxy Smartphones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
I should also mention that my phone is running Android 5.1.1 and the Gear is running V700XXUBNC1.
Coincidentally, I might put this forward, am I better off trying to flash Tizen? I've seen a couple videos on it, and it seems far far better than the Android software.
Hello,
I have a Galaxy j5 device (also a 5.1.1) and was also wondering if it will work with my gear1, did it work for you on your S6 ? Did you stay on android or switched to tizen, and which gear manager did you use, the one in the Galaxy App Store ?
Thanks

I still don't get notifications for anything but SMS, but it "functions" with me S6 fine I suppose. I've kept everything stock android so far, and the gear manager I'm using came pre-installed on the S6.
On my J5 I can download the latest Galaxy Gear app from the Galaxy store and it works but don't know if it will pair with gear 1, will be getting it next week, for sure the google play Galaxy gear app only supports the s2 and doesn't work on 5.1.1.
Also if I remember well for notifications to work on 5.1.1 the is an option in settings that needs to be flipped.
Notification access
Try enabling notification access in settings-security
Galaxy gear first version with null 5 trying to connect to samsung note 5
I have the original gear working on my note 3. It has a null rom. I just purchased a note 5 and will not connect. Any suggestions?

Hi guys,
I have a Galaxy Note 3 presently and it's having some minor software issues + issues with the loudspeaker. I can't be bothered fixing them - so I'm going to use it as an excuse to upgrade! Therefore, I'm going to get a Note 5. I haven't researched it much but assume it's a big improvement on the Note 3...
I don't use my phone for anything more than calls, messages, emails, Facebook and Snapchat really. I'd like to keep it as stock as possible, but I do need the following features:
1) Bypass exchange security settings on emails that require you to put a PIN/Password to unlock your phone every single time. I have been able to do this on the Note 3.
2) Remove messages from the call log. Not sure if this was fixed in the newer android versions but it was very annoying when I first got my phone. I only want to see calls in my call log.
How can I do the above on the Note 5 with the least amount of stuffing around/customising my phone?
Also, are there any 'must have' accessories for the Note 5? And should I be considering any other phones as alternatives before I go ahead and buy a Note 5?
Cheers

hi ,
i can give you an idea or two ..it's up to you if you want to do it .
Firstly ,i have Note 2,Note 3 Note 4 and Note 5 .
What it did was with my Note 3 was installed a custom Rom Phronesis port of Note5 .
Its a very stable Rom and a clone of Note 5 software. I must admit, it very identical to Note 5 ,smooth ,fast ,no hiccups . ect
Secondly I just check my call log and only see phone calls listed ,no messages .
Thirdly cannot help you with that ,sorry .
Fourthly , as stated i have nearly whole Note range and really enjoy Note5 ,smoothness ,performance battery life on par with my other Notes ..very good
Bottom line ,
Its your decission ?.
good luck
I have a stock N920C ,not rooted .

Thanks mate. With my Note 3, the call log shows messages and calls received/made/missed, which is stupid. You can set it to show only calls, but then it reverts back again. Perhaps this was rectified in newer software versions, but as standard the Note 3 shows calls and messages in the log.
I need a new phone regardless, as my loudspeaker on my current phone is not working, but thanks for the idea.
Any advice on the Exchange Security bypass would be appreciated...

hi ,
I agree that your decision to get new device
is a good idea .Just wanted you to know, if you wanted to keep your "old " Note 3 ,you can spice it up ,(as a second backup device .)
Re the call log and messages ,there's a simple solution .Samsung log converter (free app ..Google Play ) see screenshots .
I used it for my Note 3 and my Note 8.0 tablet ,to seperate log messages from call log works fine on Note 3 and Note 8.0
I am suprised you have not used it ..?
Anyway ,good luck
Thanks alot, that app worked a treat!
Just need some help with the exchange security bypass now...
Thanks
I use an application called nine for my exchange emails it has a bypass built in the app and is far superior to the standard Samsung email app. It's a paid app but for exchange it's the best I've used.

Thanks mate - does your phone need to be rooted to use the bypass? I'm guessing so....?
Need to be rooted to use bypass in the normal email app.

Cheers,
Once rooted, how do I bypass the settings in the normal email app?
Cheers
Hi guys,
I'm told I can probably just root, and check if there are any apps that allow me to bypass the exchange settings.
Failing this, I'm told I could go the Xposed module and apply the fix, or use a ROM which has it built in. Which path should I go down? What's the difference?
Cheers
hi probably this was discussed already but still cant
find any solution.
