actually hor, i'm confused. note 5 got doze implemented huh? how to activate? i search the whole settings menu also cannot find..

is it as power saving mode?

Wait for Android N, u turn off your phone right away kick in liao, even better power saving.

I really need to factory reset, someone 4G can get 5hrs SOT lol. I wifi only whole day can't even reach 4hrs. But my Instagram is top app usage though so a lot of downloading and white screen.

U go LOCATION and check see if you have location unlock. Cos i enable that and it 's doing exactly what u mention then i found that it suck balls and not consistent so i disable it and back to always fingerprint now.

I wanted to do it cos if it detect i'm home, don't need fingerprint, just swipe but apparently, it's not steady enough to be use lol.

music app issue fixed also. in lollipop, when there is notification, music stop completely > play notification tone > music continue. now instead of stop, it fades out (but music still playing softly), then fades in again

Mine was fade out leh then fade back in. I think maybe you had a settings that stop completely?

After reset, my RobotoCondensed font install liao cannot apply, it says "Font not supported" !#@$ before reset i was still using it! tried a few fonts from playstore n GalaxyApp all same problem. Seems like MM also breaks font apps like iFont & Fontfix:(

i tried the smart lock using BT, so far ok.
hmmm seems like cannot use third party lock. If I lock using the Power key, no more swipe nonsense, it pops direct to the fingerprint unlock screen. But if i lock using Nova gesture or Greenify lock, it pops swipe screen then numberpad screen then have to key in my pin lolx. Cannot detect my fingerprint.

You need root for it to work

There is no workaround for that except root. Once you hv root, Nova will prompt you that you can use root to work around some of the issues, allow it and you can hv gesture lock and unlock to your home screen without having to type in password or whatever lock you hv set. Same goes to Greenify. Greenify even has auto hibernation when screen off if rooted

You don't hv to worry abt Knox on ur note 4,try that and u will see

I wanna if factory reset will be better. When first time i got my Note 5 i can hit 6hrs SOT on full wifi with about 20-24hrs between charge and most of the time is for FB and Instagram, i don't watch video on my phone. So i was REALLY impressed. Unless of course Samsung's battery sucks big time.
