Note 5 completely disables any and all data use while on a call, no apps that use data and no internet.
I just upgraded from the Note 4 to the Note 5, after a few days I was happy with my new device. There are some new features and most of the old ones. However when I was using my Note 5's Mobile Hotspot feature and received a phone call i noticed that my connected Laptop's Internet stopped working until I ended the call... Until I switched I used my Hotspot and made or received calls without issue for years on several Samsung devices; the Note 4, Note 3, and even the Note 2 so I was very surprised. This made me wonder if this data issue was limited to disabling Mobile Hotspot data or all data use in general... What if I wanted to look something up on my Note 5, use Google Maps or even just an address on a website to tell the person I was on the phone with? Well bad news it completely disables any and all data use while on a call. that means no apps or features that need outside data at all, which is pretty much everything thats of use. Good news though, once you hang up you can return to using your data,. As far as I'm concerned when I spend over 400 on a upgrade i expect it to actually be an upgrade. What happened to releasing new products when you have something better to offer the customer? Not just something shiny that looks like it has should have more to offer. My conclusion is the Note 5 is not superior to the Note 4 and it's release only disappoints their loyal customers, that are paying for and expect innovative new technology not obsolete technology that limits our connectivity needs and expectations.
