Finally the smart switch has prompted me to update the device. Downloading the software for now.. Shall soon update..

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

try the smart switch. It just prompted me to download Marshmallow about 2 hours ago in India.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] oksagi:
Got Marshmallow now by SmartSwitch

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tedkord:
Still highlights for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
How are you getting it to do that? If I bring up anything with text, like gmail, detach the pen, put it on some text and click/hold the button, air command comes up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tedkord:
It just is. I get air command when I pull the pen. Tap the screen to minimize it, then it highlights when I hold the button.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
Well, shucks, mine won't do anything but bring up air command when I click the button. That said, the workaround is to just tap text with the pen, the word highlights then I can drag the handles around as much as needed.

Nevermind.. the tar file inside has a built in md5 which gets checked once i load it on to ODIN. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] herandy:
I'm having force close prblems with almost all apps recently. The most frustrating is somehow related to the fingerprint scanner I think. After a few minutes of screen off time it behaves as though the device has been reset so instead of working with my finger it asks me for my password. Clearing cache disn't work and I really don't wanna go through a factory reset. Does anybody has any idea what might be causing this on MM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
Are you using a Note 4 or 5? And what were you doing before this started? Did you flash/install something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] herandy:
Note 5, this might have started when I installed NoChromo. I am using package disabler pro too but it used to be fine with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMike2182:
You should read what I said about Package Disabler in the battery life thread..

Has anyone's google app gone completely haywire? Mine is all kinds of messed up, read about it and nexus people having the same problem. My stories to read disappeared, sports stuff doesn't really update. Some people had luck with turning location off to get the stories back, didn't work for me. Some stuff that stopped working a while ago , like parking location started working again. Now cards for stores are working (like if I'm at target, a card will show up for that) but all the things I'm used to don't work. Especially stories, the stories were really good, used to use flipboard but the advertisements and un-intuitiveness are annoying. Weather updates are showing to I had them off, except for when there are extreme changes, which was really cool, but now it shows weather for everything, which i don't care for, I use weather underground which so far has the best visualization of data that I have found. I just hope there is a fix, or a new update coming soon, the google app used to be just so perfect and now it is shiete.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] herandy:
Thanks for the info but I don't really think that package disabler is the problem because I have been using it from day 1. I'll try disabling it for a while and see what happens.

P.S. package disabler actually got me from 2 hours of SoT to 4 so I really don't wanna remove it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] blindmanpb:
Believe it or not, disabling packages can sometimes be counter productive. Package Disabler does give you the option to export your list of disabled packages. Try backing that up and re-enabling ALL disabled packages (yes, all of them).

If that gets you better battery life, you can slowly disable a few packages at a time until you find the ones that shouldn't be disabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ricoyakuza:
There is one package disabler named EZ Package Disabler which has a lot of package descriptions, you can read package description carefully before disable the package. So that you can avoid some unwanted problems

Anyone check to see if this breaks functionality with the Samsung Gear VR?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtyjersey856:
Awesome, total update for me took about 20 mins. I wasn't thrilled about the overall performance of my Note on 5.1.1, my Nexus 6 flew in comparison even on benchmarks (yeah I know). For reference my Nexus would easily hit 80,000 on latest Antutu, but my Note could only muster 50,000 max...literally was on my Note all morning and took update...then ran Antutu on a hot phone and got 90,000. Everything is faster for me, from typing to opening apps, Web pages, and scrolling.

[Edit] to those who care, I just realized that you can now have auto brightness enabled and fine tune it with the slider now...nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
+1 on this request. I'm holding off till confirmation that Gear VR is working.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tedkord:
That's from 2012, and he specifically cites OTA updates for "basic phones." Plus, it's a Verizon rep. You can ask three of them the exact same question and get three totally different answers.

I mean, it could be true, but always get it in writing from VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
That's my experience. Hell, I just chatted a verizon rep on the web and she said that the OTA's do apply towards data plan. So far, it's still a mystery. Seems like many folks who've said "no" have verified against their usage. I guess those are the only hard facts we can use in this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tedkord:
Before I do anything with my Verizon account, I get an email or chat transcript from a rep and keep it as proof. I learned that lesson a long time ago. They'll generally honor it if a rep told you.

I have literally spoken to three VZW reps in a row with the same question, and gotten three different answers. It's crazy.

Ok, so I've got it installed. So far, my impression is the same as for my Wife's One M9 when it updated a while back. Its kind of a big "so what". I can't really tell a lot of difference.

Samsung got rid of the weather widget on the lock screen, as a heads up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bamabamboogy02:
Auto brightness would in check itself when manually adjusting the brightness. Now it stays on, allowing you to limit max brightness while still retaining the auto bright feature. Nice catch. I noticed my screen being a bit darker than usual, but thought I was just imagining it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] monkeyhandler:
Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] dirtyjersey856:
I've never seen it before, any time I tried to adjust brightness on LP it would take auto brightness off. Maybe I was missing a setting aside I haven't owned a Samsung since the Note 4 DE when it was released.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] RJV3:
Took the plunge and so far have no issues. I'm amazed we have the Ota 1st,but not for nothing, verizon should be 1st if they have the largest network. Initial impressions, fingerprint scanner more responsive. No issues so far with battery life, but have switched all apps to be optimized in the settings menu just in case. So far so good. No complaints.

Have you anything disable with package disabler? I still have the effect on mine after the update. I use package disabler and have never figured out what I disable that takes away the option for the parallax effect. I enable everything set it, then disable via my xml file again.

Guys, i'm NOTE5 VZW owner outside US.

Is there any way to get OTA work ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] makavelisk:
Try the Verizon software Assistant update tool.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] oksagi:
Tried no updates available :(

I have read that someone asked VZW rep, and was told by that Verizon software Assistant update tool still doesnt have it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
Here is a summary of things I've noticed after the 6.0.1 upgrade.

Upgrade went smoothly. Didn't factory reset. I DID re-enable all my disabled apps though, just in case. No overarching bugs or issues. Overall, the experience is great. UI performance seems much snappier and responsive.

"Now On Tap" is very interesting and I'm using it quite a bit already.

I wish I could turn off or disable the brightness slider in the notification panel. I use Lux Auto Brightness so that slider is just a waste of space.

Not sure what's up with how Samsung has treated the new "System UI Tuner" functionality. It's clearly not available as it is in AOSP. Anyone have ideas about how to access it or where Samsung as put an equivalent tool?

The running processes RAM bar has been moved into "development tools". Took me forever to find it.

"Doze" isn't a big deal and I'm not even sure I'm seeing any battery life improvements. Of course, things were great in that department before the update. I've also disable a ton of bloatware, which makes a huge difference.

There's a new persistent "clipboard" manager change that is very welcome. Now, whenever you long press over a text input box, one of the options is "clipboard" which allows you too see past copy/paste items.

UPDATED ITEMS:

Wifi calling works like a charm. Tried both incoming and outgoing calls in airplane mode, with wifi on... no issues at all. Woot! However I do notice that there is battery consumption for "cell standby" if "wifi calling" is enabled. I guess that makes sense.

It appears that the "trusted voice" screen unlock functionality doesn't actually work. Anyone getting that to unlock properly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] mynamehear:
Has OK Google from the lock screen been fixed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
Ah, good question. I'm assuming you are specifically talking about the "smart unlock" feature that uses "ok google" to unlock the phone, but at least for me, it never worked right on Lollipop. I'll try this out and report back.

UPDATE: Unless I'm using this wrong... After I setup "trusted voice" in settings. I lock the phone. Then turn on screen and say "ok google". The Google voice/Now screen comes up and I can say whatever and it talks back but, the lock screen never unlocks. So, it appears that this is still broken. Anyone confirm or know how to get this to work properly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] mynamehear:
That is correct, OK Google, authorized under Trusted Voice will not work at all. It simply doesn't acknowledge the OK Google command at all and the screen remains black.

[edit] except you mention "Then turn on screen and say "ok google"". I'm not clear, are you turning on the screen or is the "OK Google" command turning on the screen? The way it should work is that with screen off and locked, with no user intervention, the Note constantly listens for the "OK Google" command and automatically responds, while at the same time unlocking the screen which will then be ready for further user input.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] italbomber:
6.01 is running well. What I did was enable package dis. Pro. Then went and backed up what I needed. Reboot to recovery and cleared cache 3x. Boot up and took update. Finished update and booted back into recovery. Factory reset 3x. I installed as "new phone" and went to store and updated whatever system apps needed it and then set up all apps manually and relogged into everything. Sure this way takes some more time but it gives the os a chance to settle and no chance to break pre-installed apps. Loving this Marshmallow experience way more then Lollipop. Good luck everyone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
Interesting. I've never tried actually saying "ok google" from a "screen off" state. I always thought the "trusted voice" thing was for after screen was on but at the lock screen. I just tried with screen off and have found that if the device isn't locked, it will activate on "ok google" and turn on to the Google Now screen. With the device locked, it will only turn on the screen but remain locked. Lame but very good to know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ratman6161:
From the Smart Lock settings screen I chose "trusted voice". "From Any Screen" was defaulted to "off" so I turned it on. Turned the "Trusted Voice". Did the say "OK Google" three times routine. Exited settings. Locked the phone with the power button then said "OK google" from the lock screen...took me to a voice search screen as expected. Phone was unlocked because when I pressed the home button I was back on my launcher screen. So it seems to be working as expected for me. Note this was something I was never able to get to work before the update (though entirely possible I was doing something wrong) but does work now.

One thing I see in the settings that seems like a step backwards is that if I go to the Application Manager, it no longer seems to give me the option to see "Running Apps"? did that move somewhere else? I used to use that to find candidates for disabling...i.e. things that were always running but I never used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
Yes, the running apps thing is now under developer tools. Lame.

---------- Post added at 10:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 AM ----------

When you say, "locked the screen" in your trusted voice test, did you actually lock the screen... PIN/Fingerprint/Pattern... type of lock? I use fingerprint/pin and trusted voice doesn't seem to be able to get past that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ratman6161:
I also use fingerprint lock. When I tested using voice unlock, i.e. saying "OK Google" I was on the lock screen i.e. where I would normally have to put my finger on the home button for the fingerprint unlock.

Upon further testing though, I see that the unlock is not instantaneous. When I say OK google from the lock screen, a voice search window opens. If I don't bother with actually doing the voice search and wait a few seconds, then press the home button (not with the finger I use to unlock BTW) the phone is unlocked. But if I do the same thing without waiting the few seconds, i.e. press the home button the moment the search window comes up, its not unlocked. so from my experimenting, it seems like if you are in too much of a hurry it may look like its not working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] simpsonr:
Thx for the update! Good info.

Looks like there's a new Samsung Calendar homescreen widget in the 6.0.1 update. I can't get it to add to any homescreen though. Even if the homescreen is new, with no other content on it, I get a "no more room on this homescreen" message. Can anyone verify this behavior?

Update: I use Nova Launcher. Doesn't work with that. When I use the stock launcher, the cal widget works fine. Lame.
