Air Command not showing when S Pen pulled out:

Suppose you are having issues with S Pen on Note 5. If Air Commands for Note 5 Edge are not working, then clearing the cache can fix this issue. Note that clearing the cache won’t delete any data present in your Note. Instead, follow the step to step guide below to get over the issue of Air Command not showing when S Pen pulled out.

1. First of all, turn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
2. Once your Note 5 is turned off, press and hold the Volume Up button and Home Button. After that, press and hold the Power key.
3. Keep the three buttons pressed and just release the Power key when your device shows “Samsung Galaxy Note 5“. Make sure you do not release the other two buttons.
4. Release the other two buttons as soon as you see the Android logo on your Galaxy Note 5.
5. Now, you’ll see a notice on your Note 5 screen stating “Installing system update” for 30 to 60 seconds. After that, your phone will display the Android system recovery menu.
6. Use Volume Up and Volume Down keys to navigate through the options. For example, find the “wipe cache partition“ option and press the Power key to select it.
7. Once the cache partition is wiped out, use the Volume keys to navigate to the “Reboot system now” option and press the Power key to restart the phone.
8. The reboot will take some time. So wait for it to complete the reboot.

Note: Do not turn off your phone while it’s clearing cache. It’s a system process, and it can screw up your phone pretty severely if you mess it up while it’s clearing cache. It will take 5 minutes to clear the cache. It can take more depending upon the state of your phone.

If you are still facing the problem even after wiping the cache partition, you must do a factory reset.

1. First of all, create a backup of all your essential data.
2. After creating a backup, turn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
3. Once your Note 5 is turned off, press and hold the Volume Up button and Home Button. After that, press and hold the Power key.
4. Keep the three buttons pressed and just release the Power key when your device shows “Samsung Galaxy Note 5“. Make sure you do not release the other two buttons.
5. As soon as you see the Android logo on your Galaxy Note 5, release the rest of the two buttons.
6. Now, you’ll see a notice on your Note 5 screen stating “Installing system update” for 30 to 60 seconds. After that, the Android system recovery screen will be displayed.
7. Use Volume Up and Volume Down keys to navigate through the options. For example, find the “Yes – delete all user data” option and press the Power key to select it.
8. Once the process is completed, use the Volume keys to navigate to the “Reboot system now” option and press the Power key to restart the phone.
9. The reboot will take some time. So wait for it to complete the reboot.
