Fundamentals Of Android 5.1.1 And Touchwiz; The Lock Screen - Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Manual

Fundamentals of Android 5.1.1 and
TouchWiz
Your Galaxy Note 5 is run by an operating system called Android. Android
was created by Google to run on any smartphone, and your Galaxy Note 5
uses a version called Android 5.1.1 (or Lollipop). Samsung has made many
changes to this version of Android by adding extra components and modify-
ing many standard Android features. They call this customization TouchWiz.

The Lock Screen

If you haven't used your Galaxy Note
5 for a while, the screen goes blank
to conserve battery power. This task
explains the different ways to inter-
act with the Lock screen.
1. Press the Power button or Home
button to wake up your Galaxy
Note 5.
2. Swipe your finger across the
screen in any direction to unlock
your Galaxy Note 5. If you have
set a PIN, password, or pattern
lock, you need to enter or draw it
to unlock your Note 5.
If You Use Your Fingerprint
Always Use the Home Button
If you have chosen to unlock your Note
5 using your fingerprint, then it does
not make sense to wake up your Note
5 using the Power button. Because the
fingerprint reader is in the Home button,
you can wake up and unlock your Note
5 in one step by pressing the Home but-
ton. If you do not want to unlock your
Note 5 but just want to see what is on
the Lock screen, press the Power button.
