Here are some of the problems which Note 5 users face

PROBLEM 1: Galaxy Note 5 “Dock Is Connected” Message And Fast Charging Not Working

“Dock Is Connected” Message – If you are getting Power Sharing pop-up then the best thing that you can do is uninstall or disable all Samsung-related apps especially those that are associated with Power Sharing. Power Sharing is an app that will let you share your battery power to another device with the help of a special cable from Samsung. If you don’t want this product, simply force close or disable the app.

To disable and close all the applications, follow these steps

  • Go to Settings
  • Go to the Applications
  • Select Manage all applications
  • Tap the All tab
  • Look for power sharing app
  • Just force stop and disable it

Fast Charging- Lithium-based battery charging process takes place in phases and you will notice fast charging occurring only in the initial and final phases. If you are facing some charging problems, switch to another fast charger first. If that doesn’t change anything, the issue may actually be battery-related which is hardware in nature. Contact Samsung for a possible battery replacement or repair.

PROBLEM 2: Galaxy Note 5 Fast Battery Drain Problem

Third-party apps are usually responsible for fast battery drain problem. Safe mode prevents third-party apps from running. Once you boot your phone into safe mode, see how your device behaves. If there are no issues and the battery last longer, then one of the apps is causing the issue. Delete third-party apps until the problem is solved.

To boot in safe mode, follow these steps

  • Press and hold the Volume down and Power Keys for 20-30 seconds
  • Once you the Samsung logo appears on the screen, release the Power Key immediately but keep pressing the Volume Down key.
  • Your phone will boot up and now unlock the phone
  • Now you will get the confirmation that the phone successfully booted up when you will get the text Safe Mode in the lower-left corner of the screen.
