I can confirm I have the exact same issue with my note 5,mine is an indian variant as well.

I have infact started a new thread for this with title "delay in opening air command menu".didnt get much response though.

Tried factory reset and tried clearing the cache but the issue persists.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kunalteji1993:
So it does seem like the pen is an issue .

Can u by any chance try one pen from someone else and see if it helps or maybe go to retail and try their s pen to see if makes a difference.
[Galaxy Note5 General] amberjayna:
Hello there.. I just bought note 5 64 gb but have been following this thread for a long time. Regarding the S pen issue. I can confirm that the issue persists if you enable finger print lock screen feature but if it's disabled then S pen detection is instantaneous.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kunalteji1993:
I am afraid that is not it.

just yesterday went to samsung care and was given a letter of DOA for the defected spen. Got a replacement now and this foje doesnt have the spen problem with or without fingerprint.

I afraid you will also need to get a replacemennt if it is under replacement time(7days). Else , hard luck.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pwned101:
Guys, I'm getting the note 5 and have a question. I did see people going back and forth about it on this very thread, but had to be 100% sure before I make the purchase.

The SM-920i and the SM-920g are the only variants that support 4G (Band 40-2300Mhz) in India right?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] amberjayna:
Hi kunal,

You were right... That finger print thing didn't work... Started facing lags after a while... So got DOA and a replaced handset but even the new handset has same problem. Previous one was made in Oct. And new one in Nov. So definitely different batches. I'm surprised this issue isn't widespread. I still feel its more of a software issue as s pen keeper service which initiates detachment of s pen is killed frequently, therefore it takes time for air command to pop up. This is just an observation. Don't know if I should get 2nd DOA. Just hope someone has a solution for Spen lag.
[Galaxy Note5 General] chakraa2:
Hi,

it looks to me as a software issue ,I also tired disabling a few apps over the weekend to see if that makes a difference .To my surprise it did and it worked fine for sometime ,today again I can see the delay in opening of the aircommand menu. it gets annoying after a while.

Mine is around 15 days old so I doubt I would get a DOA,mine is a replacement unit anyhow the first one had camera issue (there was a small line coming in all the pics despite the lens being clean) and was replaced.

like you even I am surprised that the issue is not widespread ,wondering whats going on.

Regards.

Hi Kunal,

Could you please confirm if the replacement phone works fine w.r.t Spen.

Regards.
[Galaxy Note5 General] amberjayna:
Yup seems to be software... Samsung task killer is too aggressive and kills air command and spen keeper services all too often. I've noticed if they remain active then there is minimal lag else spen detection lags big time. I'll anyways go to service centre tomorrow to get another DOA. Lets see how another handset fares.

I have having a serious issue with Samsung Predictive Text. It picks up my email addresses from gmail. This is causing nuisance as literally every suggestion is emails.

Previously you could de link gmail & avoid this. Now I don't see any option. I am used to Samsung Keyboard. Changing keyboard is my last option.

Any one else facing this ? I want predictive text on.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:
Same here !! I still prefer note 4 keyboard that is the best so far.

S pen lag

64 Gb version here again .. Bought just 3 days ago.... Again the same issue ... Spen lag... It specially happens when the spen has not been taken out for more than 3 or 4 minutes ... Checked with customer care ... They instantly took remote of device through smart tutor app ... ( quite impressed with the service ) .. And checked many things .. But couldn't find any flaw... But according to them it seems to be a software issue be uses the spen works fine and once the air command feature comes on after the delay, there are no issues even if you put it inside again and remove it within 1 or 2 minutes but then the issues remains if you don't use spen for sometime, again there is a lag.... As one person mentioned, seems the Samsung task killer is killing the spen functionality quite fast and doesn't bring it back as soon as the spen detector sends it the signal and hence the delay... I love my note 5 and I think I can live with delay or maybe Samsung will correct the bug... Won't return the unit and get in all that hassle ... Let's see what Samsung does next ...

Hello All,

Even I am thinking of getting Note 5 but from Dubai which is 920C. I am not sure if it will support 4G Airtel services in Mumbai. Please let me know your experiences. Let me know if someone is using Note5 from Dubai and its working well with 4g Airtel.

Hey guys

I was thinking of ordering gear VR from the US.

Do you guys think I should?

Would all the services work here?

Would I be able to download the 3d movies like the torrents ones and watch it in gear VR?

Anyone has any idea about it?
[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:
I don't think we can talk about piracy over here. But few people has issues with n4 not supporting other region VR.. So just make sure you check that. Rest you can add 3d movies and videos to it. I have tried Google cardboard and its amazing so waiting for gear vr to launch here.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.Gonzo105:
I might just order one.

Really wanna see how it it.

And someone said using the Hola app you can change the region to US and then it might be fine using the VR for the Samsung milk services

Anyone else thinking of ordering it?
[Galaxy Note5 General] r_c111:

Today I goofed up with my device I accidentally turned of FRP lock and forgot the installed a new theme and had to reboot device when i rebooted thats when i had noticied that i had nit turned on FRP, Luckily I had my battery enough to go into download mode it would not go in to recovery mode to flash another rom, when connected to charger it would just show charging symbols and say FRP blocked and reboots luckily I had about 65% battery or it would have been a dead device.

You can ask any big mobile stores in Mumbai bcoz they are sending it here in Pune also so I can assume it should be easily available in Mumbai
[Galaxy Note5 General] jayesh:
They only have a 2300 band LTE license for mumbai. The 1800 they had is already in use, for their 3G network, which they have been promoting as 'Airtel platinum'. Just google around and you will get your answer.

Afaik and this was confirmed by a friend, who deals with these things, the LTE will stay on 2300.

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

Yea i know.

I can't really say with confidence, which ones will support. You can easily check by spotting, if that variant has Band 40 (2300) or TDD-LTE support. If you are in a market with 1800 band support (easily checked) you can get away with international models.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
for all who want note 5 with indian 4G network support--------------buy only SM-N920I variant which is available in Singapore and Australia whereas every other variant launched until now doesn't support TDD-LTE band 40(2300)...................................

Yes in uae available model is n920c

Cost will be around 45k
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Hey doc will those phones bought from UAE have warranty in india
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
No.

Actually with warranty today price in uae is 48.5k (uae shop warranty)

But as we have to root same day so no meaning to pay extra. Without warranty (box pack) today price for black is 42k (2400 aed)

May be silver cost 1-2k extra.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
That's great deal doc go for it get the 64gb:)
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
I have no requirement for 64gb actually. Only I am worrying is if something went wrong and I have to format Int SD card. Main purpose is titanium backup. Right now I am using ext SD card mainly for this only. It makes daily schedule backup on ext SD card so my device is ever ready to wipe even Int SD. Now i have to make periodic backup. My friend gifted me small USB pen drive which is really nice. One end it have pc USB socket and other end connect to mobile USB (just like otg) and even it detects from recovery too. That's good alternative. Now if aroma file manager work on note5 then almost I am tension free.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Great doc seems u r all set

So as kannan mentioned here u will most likely get a 920C model so the roms u will make on C will that work on our I model ?

Also will Samsung India repair our devices which are purchased in grey market or like you bought outside India without Indian warranty
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Time will tell about cross flashing but both are exynos so hopefully shouldn't get issue. Or may be minor patch should be solve it. I have downloaded stock ROM for n910c today and will download n910i soon. if you have good net then please upload oh* base of n910i to Dropbox and send me link. So I can check where is major difference. I don't think we get any difficulty in paid service in India even we don't have Indian variant.

[Galaxy Note5 General] amberjayna:
Ok guys a little update on spen lag issue.

I finally got my third handset as my previous 2 had serious issues wrt spen lag. This one however is free from all issues and spen response is instantaneous. So my previous theories about spen lag due to software bug stands invalidated.

If anyone can then they must get DOA for a new phone since spen lag is a hardware issue. I'm running all same apps and latest firmware version as previous phones having spen lag.

Hope this info is useful.

Thanks

It's been about 3 days of extensive use with all the data and apps restored through smart switch. Spen is working flawlessly, just the way it should. However, this handset randomly freezes and lags from time to time and then gets normal after waiting for few seconds. Even wiping data cache petition is not helping. This issue has been reported by others here as well. Im just hoping its a software issue and will be resolved in next update or something. In the meanwhile if someone has a fix for lag/freezing issue, pls let us know.

Good to hear that s pen is lag free my earlier note 5 64gb had the same problem of s pen plus freezing issues at unlocking th screen was really irritated so got a DOA trying for a refund instead of a replacement ..it's a disappointing situation to be in after buying a flagship with such hog end specs but all marred by poor software optimisation..

Sad to see this you need to identify what is causing the drain. Without that you can't really say what is the problem. You need to run 3 tests to make sure if it's not an hardware issue. I remembering posting this steps on Dr. Ketan thread look for it and see if you can follow them.
