I used to love textra when I had my Nexus 5, but now I love the samsung messenger app. :P Altough I did stop using it on my Nexus 5 when it started to lag and I switched to Google Messenger and I really liked it, nice simple and clean.

You guys are killing me. Every time I get a notification I get all excited thinking is news about the Marshmallow update. J/k I'm glad you found out about the offers. LOL   Sent from my SM-N920P usi

My point is that its not central to his question and was unneeded.  I know plenty about power, distribution and heat. We can all imagine what happens when you push electricity into space, it's not as

I've never had Textra lag. I especially love it now that they have added the feature to create any text into an MMS message. So now instead having a long message split into two, you can have textra convert it automatically into an MMS. Very cool feature that I've looked for so long and never found.

 

The only thing that bothers me about Textra is that it doesn't accurately tell you when SMS are sent.

This has revolutionized receiving texts from my mom. Holy cow that woman can type. Once got a 14 part SMS. Set her up with this feature to go MMS after 1 message length exceeded.

 

Textra is the best. Make sure you enable "prefer WiFi" in MMS settings so it works through WiFi calling.

Agree with the previous comment. I have used many text apps and keep coming back to stock massager with enhanced massager option.

Is there a thread in general where people are discussing these problems we seem to be having with the note 5 concerning longer times on 3g and not going back to lte? Was thinking it has something to do with the phone since at least 5 of us are having the same issues. Thanks

I'd like to know this as well. My note 5 has been on 3g far longer then it used to be. In areas where there is a known lte signal I now have to put the phone in airplane mode to get it to hop onto lte. It doesn't switch like it used to.

 

Is there something going on with the note 5 and sprints network??

I wonder why we haven't had a security update in a few months, I know Verizon and AT&T are all caught up. Maybe they are fixing some software issues and that's why they haven't released one lately.

We're two months behind now something is definitely going on. We were getting security updates monthly and in a timely manner and now nothing lol.

Is anyone else having issues with multiple text messages going through of the same message? Or text message not going through at all? I am having poor call quality also. Is there something up with the Sprint network and the Note 5? Or is the fbi monitoring just sucking up bandwidth causing this?

My friend keith is having these exact problems on his s6 on sprint. My note 5 has had no issues. Its likely the network in your area.

Maybe lol, anyone notice any differences?

My Samsung Pay loaded faster this morning and I did notice that on my 3G zone on my normal commute still existed, but it did snap back into LTE where it was supposed to.  It hadn't been doing this for the past couple months and I'd stay on the 3Geez until I got into work, meaning no streaming on the way to work.  Time will tell if this is an actual improvement.  

 

These are likely just post update speed-ups from system caches getting properly cleared through the update. 

 

EDIT: my fingerprint reader seems to be back to snappy again (slowed after the last update for me), which would explain some of the Samsung Pay speed increases.

I noticed the font size in the stock messages app got really small, other than that nothing different that I have noticed.

 

Maybe just reset itself. You know that can be changed, right?

It seems like I'm getting better battery life, but too soon to tell yet.
