It detect which wifi or mobile network has the best performance. If the mobile networks works better then wifi, then it will try to disconnect from Wifi. To disable this feature, just go to wifi then there is a 3-dot on the top right corner, then find Smart Connection Switch to disable it. I hope it solves the problem

I've had to hit the home button and try again in many circumstances. Like today I was looking for modern contemporary art for my livingroom and ran into sites not loading fully for awhile - this is on wifi.
I have 3 laptops and one gaming desktop that are all on wifi to the same router. I went to the same website with a laptop and it was almost instant loading. So not sure what's the issue.

Also, tab s2 has the same processor as note4, and the processor of note5 is much better than note4.
Therefore, the problem is definitely not the processor.
I don't think touchwiz is a big problem. Samsung has improved touchwiz a lot last year, and it is possible due to:
1. You bought completely different version of tab s2 from note5
2. Your note5 is defective.
3. Your note5 was bought and began to use much ealier and Android is well known for becoming lagging after sometime of use if you are not careful about the APP you installed (try to install apps only from google play).

Could it be that the processor in Tablets is larger in size and thus has a better quality?

I have been using S6 EDGE for 9 months and Tab S for 15 months.
My S6 EDGE runs almost as smooth as when I just bought it, but Tab S is always laggy.
I think 7420 is a great CPU, but the performance also depends on how you use it.
Although I am nearly 100% satisfied with S6 EDGE's optimization, there were a little issue in the past, when the battery was suddenly drained unexpectedly, especially from google map, but only for several days...Samsung probably updated something to fix it. Now I use google map everyday and never close it (always press home and it is always in the background).
I actually use S6 EDGE much more frequently than Tab S, and I find that S6 EDGE version of Touch wiz is much more simplified than the previous version.
Note 5 performance should be as good as S6, or even better.
Sometimes the cause of lagging is difficult to detect, which is mostly Android issue.

AnonD-510959, 05 Mar 2016S6 and Note5 series has much better CPU than tab s2.
7420 was the best CPU in 2015, and thus ... moreAgreed on that. However, TouchWiz has always been known to be slow and choppy. It's the Windows Vista/Millennium Edition of Microsoft.
You could have 12GB of RAM & the fastest processor out there with the same results. I'm. It saying the Note 5 isn't a good powerful phone - it's TouchWiz that's creating the issues.

It doesn't have any delay when opening any app or any phone menu or setting.
Why Note 5 has this almost a second delay on every command , I have no idea.
I can only assume that processors for tablet are not quite the same as same processors in a phone? (Maybe larger in size?)

Mine lags slightly but frequently freezes in the horizontal mode. The ringtones work when they want as I've missed calls and text messages with the sound on high. My Gmail fails to notify me of new mail with the settings set correctly. I've had to restart the phone from screen freezes several times. The phone likes to mute me when I'm on the Bluetooth earpiece (sitting in the same spot, not touching the phone, with 4 bars of signal).
Only problem I ever had with my S4 that's similar is on rare occasions it would get stuck on horizontal, but none of the other issues above.

AnonD-183089, 04 Mar 2016in august or september 2016Can anyone explain why Note 5 with a new Exynos processor has a slight lag when you press any command (home screen command, contacts command, file manager command and others ) while Galaxy Tab S2 (exynos 5433 processor) doesnt have any lag or delay and is more snappy?
Is exynos 5433 faster than the processor on note 5 ?
Or is it just the tablet better optimized? Or is the tablet procesor larger in size than a smartphone processor?
