So no word from Bell and others about VoLTE, or God forbid VoWiFi from any?

Note 5 ?

I will definitely be using caution on this update. We could lose the ability even to have root depending on these "security" updates.

True but our updates are so similar to t-mobile and they always get rooted no?

All I know is it was supposed to push on Dec 7 (hasn't yet) and it was security updates.
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
So far yes but I don't trust sammy with the way they are pushing all this security crap..its getting harder and harder to mod our devices.

Its suppose to have the Gear Vr files as well as the consumer Gear Vr will be released here on the 11th
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Where are you getting this information? So I'm guessing we should be getting the update before the 11th then?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dmkarkutt:
I ordered mine to be delivered from Best Buy and I talked to rogers and they said right before or after the 11th the update should be out as the S6 edge and edge + need an update as well as teh new VR is for all S6's and Note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Thanks for clarifying. Let's hope it's soon!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
You guys are better off installing t-mobile ROM. I have all the vr files on the latest update from t-mobile. I can guarantee there won't be an update for Canadians anytime soon. Samsung always takes forever.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
So you think the posts from a couple pages back referencing a new build number and the release for Gear VR are bogus? I don't have a Gear VR, but I'm always happy for updates!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Not bogus, but I have been with Samsung devices S3 to the S6, and Canadian updates take forever, it's a sad technological reality. The USA carriers are always on the ball for some reason, that's why I root all my devices from the start.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I feel ya. I've been with Samsung since the original Galaxy S, haha. I know how painful it can be waiting for updates. It feels like there could be an update soon, and rooting is something I don't want to do right now (first device I haven't rooted out of the box), so I don't see another ROM as a viable option for me right now.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dmkarkutt:
So are u using a T-mobile rom and u are using the gear Vr with it as well? U can use the Vr with custom rom which kernel do you need?

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 AM ----------

Same here,this is the first phone I haven't rooted in forever as I don't mind stock and TBH I'm curious about Samsung pay and I was worried the Vr wouldn't work with root as well.

I've had every generation of Note. I was also one of the guys that helped unlock all those hidden frequencies for use on other networks. Glad to see Samsung finally opening that up for us so we don't have to do it ourselves!

I knew I had seen you somewhere else! Glad to see you on another device I own :p
[Galaxy Note5 General] WorldIRC:
If Samsung's S7 has a larger battery, I will probably switch to it. They have finally got the UI scaled-back enough that I like it, and now that I use the app Nine for my email, I love the device. Only reason I went Note 5 instead of S6 was due to battery size; I do not care for the 5.7" screen.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I'm all for a big battery, but I'm also hooked on the screen size now, so I don't know if I'd be able to downgrade to a smaller formfactor.

[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Just something I've noticed from this morning's update: It looks like App Optimisation only kicks in for apps after they haven't been touched for 3 days. I'm thinking that means we will probably only see some noticeable differences in battery life by Monday or Tuesday.

The real question though, if an app hasn't been used in 2 days and you restart your phone, will the counter reset to 0?
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
I like them both, couldnt decide which one to choose so just bought them both lol.

I just noticed that OK Google now works when my phone is locked; no more requirement to fully unlock the phone before I can use it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Are you sure you're not plugged in, or locked with screen on? Cause it always had that.

Or are you saying now that screen is off and locked, and you're not plugged in to charger, and yet 'Ok Google' Works?

Cause I don't see that, but maybe because I froze svoice.

Please clarify.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] WorldIRC:
Yes when either plugged in and locked or when screen on and locked. It never worked properly for me on the Note 5 when I had the lock screen enabled, now it does. Others were complaining too.

[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
That's the default setting - if you click 'Detail', and then each app which is set to the default of 'automatically optimising', you will see you have three options for each app - 'automatically optimising', 'always power saving', and 'disable'. I have set any app I don't use constantly (such as powering a widget) to 'always power saving'. I find the power consumption of the phone much better, especially when the phone is sleeping.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I've got to go through the apps and see which one I can "optimize". Don't you think that setting a widget to always power saving would stop it from updating?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
Yes, which is why I don't set those apps to 'always power saving' - sorry if that wasn't clear.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Ahhh okay! I thought that was a bit weird, haha.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
;)

Let us know if your battery life improves - I'm averaging about 2.5 % /hour, but that's admittedly with pretty light use. From what I can see though, consumption really drops now when the phone is sleeping (the line on the battery consumption graph gets a lot flatter).
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Will do! I'll have to give it a shot this week, with some more consistent usage!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Oh. I didn't realise that was the issue on note5 with others. It has always worked for me once I had personal results option enabled and svoice frozen (which was since the beginning, as I switched from note 4).

Thanks for clarifying

Note 5 ?

Hi Everybody. I just updated the new firmware OTA and realised the OCR functionality in Smart Select is still not back to our Canadian Note 5, unlike what was earlier reported with some other markets. Anybody know why?

Don't think it's coming back. You can only download OCR app from Samsung as an alternative.

Hey Guys, newb here. Trying desperately to get my hands on a 64gb Note 5. I'm with Bell and it appears they don't have any... even thou its on their website, they don't have any stock. When I called customer support they said they have to special order them for customers. Even called a Bell store and there the only one in their network is in Quebec... ( I live near Vancouver). I've check Best Buy, Wireless Wave, The Source, etc. and nobody has them. At this point my only option is to try Rogers, but on their website it says I have to Reserve one... WTF.

Anyone else have trouble getting a 64gb Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] dssking:
So Rogers just rolled out the OK5 update. I have a Stock Note 5.......if I take this update, will I be able to root this phone? If so, using what? My S3, 4 and 6 went flawless....... I think I used towelroot on the S6..... and the old traditional method with Odin for the 3 and 4.

Thanks guys. BTW - I love the Note 5.....and so far, even stock, the battery life is far superior than the S6.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mojook:
Speak to the manager. Apparently only the pickering store had stock and they managed to order one from there for me, and I picked it up from my local store.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Download7:
Hi, another newb here. I went all over town(Chilliwack, BC) trying to get a 64gb note 5 and finally found one with Rogers. Telus didn't even have it in their system and koodo, who I'm with, doesn't even think about it. I have a killer 6gb/month for 54$ plan so I'm not giving that up so I was going to buy it outright anyways. I am upgrading from an S3 that I've had for 3 long years and I swore I wouldn't get another samsung but..... So when I got it I bought a sim unlock code for it for 15$US from cellunlocker but when I put my koodo sim in it it didn't even ask me for an unlock code.... doesn't even look like it was locked. The only thing I could think of is that it locks to the first inserted Sim card? It did do a factory reset on it tho after first boot with the koodo sim, thank god I was rooted with a recouvery backup already. The guy at the Rogers desk said they had 18 black 64gb in stock coming from Abbotsford, if that helps, I had to get him to ship one over. Good luck.

I updated my 64note5 before I tried my sim card and I was able to root after using odin to install phils recouvery and then flash the experimental superuser here.

I'm loving the batery life too, I got roughly 9hrs of screen on time with my first use!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Download7:
Yep no rogers account, he asked if I wanted one and I said no. 1000$ plus tax
[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
So do we lose anything other than Samsung pay after rooting? I remember on my note 3 I could never get nfc to work on a custom rom, also other than loss of warranty anything else someone rooting should be aware of? I think I'll root when Marshmallow is finally released..
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
They let you buy it outright with no account? I went to 2 Roger store and they said they can't sell outright to me...ended up getting a 32gb from telus
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrnovanova:
Thanks. I jumped the gun on that one. A power cycle did the trick.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
I bought 64gb silver titanium for $700 off Kijiji.

Too much risk if it gets black listed, doesn't matter even if you have the receipt. So, I rather buy it from a retailer.

You actually have the link to the root method in your post, the part where you quoted me, the 'here' word, click on that. I'm on 5.1.1 and OK5 and it's not marshmellow

Thank you! I'll take the update then. Was under the impression that after this update you cannot root.

WHen does Marshmallow come out for our Canadian Note 5's?
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
I dunno about you guys but after two months with this phone I effin love it. Arter kernel and Revolution 1.1 ROM + xposed and this thing is a champ. And I'm coming from an iPhone 6. Only thing that gets me everyday is how slippery it is, the bezel buttons make it difficult to manipulate without pressing buttons accidentally and I think that's it. Battery goes all day and then some, screen is awesome, it's very stable and smooth, s-pen is handy, audio quality is top notch etc etc. Wish I had waited for the 64GB but meh... However I've already lost my SANDISK OTG dongle :( haha
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
I upgraded to OK5 then rooted without issues. No problem.

I got my note 5 from telus on thrusday. It does not have VoLTE working... :/
[Galaxy Note5 General] zerojay:
I'll be getting my Rogers Note 5 in a day or two. I'll post back about VoLTE.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bouncynemoss:
I have it. Got it yesterday as an upgrade over my nexus 5. The ram issue is here but it's not noticeable when you only switch between 4 or so apps regularly, which is what I do.

If you need 6+ then it will effect you rather negatively
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaboose666:
Yup its not a bug either, it's how samsung intended the memory management to work, more aggressive killing of apps will help improve battery life. Though something tells me they might change it for the Note 5 and S6 edge+ because of the extra GB of RAM. Though the S6 and S6 edge are probably stuck where they are because of the 3GB of RAM.

Basically if you don't regularly need 4+ apps open and switching back and forth constantly you will probably not notice it. If you DO however multi-task a lot it can get a bit annoying when it has to reload huge web pages or something.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
As far as I know, only Rogers soft launched VOLTE on their network few months back with only 2 phones confirmed. lg vigor and lgg2. so telus wouldn't have it at this time.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gpooba:
You LG G4 has it not the g2
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Sorry that was autocorrect from 6 months I was using g2. Till the upper part of digitizer stopped working. Common issue with lgg2. And like all glued screen replacements, including note5, they are never the same after that.

Wheres the best place to buy the Note 5 outright in Canada?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mattt33:
Can someone clarify for me if the Note 5 carried across the Canadian carriers are the same or are they pre-installed with that carrier's specific software?

Reason I ask is because I recall reading a while back about phones being identical from the manufacturer, and that the carrier's software is only installed/loaded upon the carrier's SIM card?

e.g. If a Note 5 from Carrier A is freshly 'unboxed' and a SIM card from Carrier B is inserted into the phone (before any SIM from Carrier A), is there any indication of Carrier A's software loaded on the phone?

Thanks very much for any clarification.
[Galaxy Note5 General] NiquiSE:
So to clarify for you. If you bought a Note 5 from Telus for example and put (In your words) no Sim card in it and started to set the phone up it would still have some of Telus' software on it. Now if you unlocked that same Telus phone and put a Bell Sim Card in the phone, it would NOT load up Bell's software. So in that regard no the software is not loaded onto a Sim Card. All Canadian Note 5's would be identical with only loaded software being different.

I hope this helps.

I'm sure someone will be able to give you even more fine details or correct me if I'm wrong. There may be a couple other minor differences but I can't think of any off hand.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mattt33:
Okay, great. Thanks very much for the response.

I suppose my real concern is if there would be any 'original carrier' branding/logos with the device - as in whether someone using an unlocked Wind Mobile Note 5 would notice anything when using it with Koodo. Not the end of the world if the carrier branding is there to stay though.

On a side note, all Canadian carriers are supplied with the same Note 5 variant?
[Galaxy Note5 General] NiquiSE:
Correct, there wouldn't be any of the branding on the back of the device like you'd see on some of the American phones (AT&T Logo on theirs), The Note 5 in Canada is the SM-N920W8 for all our carriers to my knowledge. All they might notice is say if it was Telus you'd have the "Telus Apps and Telus My Account" in the software but that's easy to get rid of and resolve.

I can't recall if this changes the Software loaded by a particular provider but you could also try a Carrier Reassignment/Carrier ID Selection. It does wipe the device however. I'm sure more people here could give you better/more information than I can.
[Galaxy Note5 General] iniquity0411:
So is there a place to purchase the 64gb model or just the note 5 itself

Hey guys. I started getting redraws today. This phone has been amazing since they one. The only redraws I ever had were on the tw weather widget. Haven't had one since I stopped using it.
