Don't know? He stopped selling the moment I pulled my note out of the pocket, and I didn't bother asking.

I did congratulate them on selling note 5 outright, but also commented that if they want to have any meaningful sales of unlocked model, they have to launch with it, and not have it available only after it turned out providers are not selling as much. Which is what having note 5, edge+ and Grand available, while s6 and s6 edge through providers only.

He just shrugged. ?

Don't think those standalone retail locations are going to stay in business for long.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Sorry to hear that man, guess ive been lucky mines been perfect.

They are similar in performance, giving the nod to the note 5 for all around snapiness though.

Note 5 camera is better, not by a ton but better.

I find the note more comfortable to hold/use and its visually a stunning piece of hardware in titanium silver.

All that said its hard to beat a nexus, just something about them ... Far more development... Like light years more. Note 5 dev is not what Id hoped it would be.

The 128gb storage is great and my biggest gripe with the note..64gb is just not enough for me.

Nexus is already in its 2nd version of 6.0.1 note still on 5.1.1

I could not decide which one i liked better so i kept them both lol.

I was surprised you mentioned the Note 5 was snappier, I thought Touchwiz doesn't allow that lol. Anyways, how long have you had your 6P for?
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Well the note 5 isnt stock either but they have cleaned TW up also. That +exynos+4gb ram is a pretty potent combination.

Ive had them both maybe a couple of months or so, picked up the note on a sunday and the nexus 6P on wed lol

Hard to pick between the two. I sold and bought Nexus 6P twice already and keep coming back..lol 6P android so smooth and plain android otb nothing drains the battery. N5 on the other hand is the stylus, gallery and camera of course but there are so much crap before root. :D

So Scotiabank updated their Mobile Wallet feature today for the Note 5 finally... for SM-N920F.

Anyone know how to change a model number? :P

Edit: changed the model number back to W8 (Venom Note changed it to G) through editing build.prop and success!
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Do you guys happen to know if there's an exposed modules which allows split screen in every app?
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaganmohal:
No need for xposed

[Galaxy Note5 General] Dmkarkutt:
So is the scotia bank mobile wallet work with root?
[Galaxy Note5 General] RhinoKneel:
Yep! As long as your phone is of a supported Canadian carrier and supported model. (Oddly while the update post only mentioned support for N920F, it didn't work when I tried switching the model name to that, but my default N920W8 did)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dmkarkutt:
So if im running a t-mobile rom, I just change model number to W8 in build.prop and the mobile wallet works? If so who cares about Samsung pay lol as the scotia mobile wallet works nice with sock. I just wanted to make sure if rooted it still worked as android pay and Samsung pay don't work with root. Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note5 General] RhinoKneel:
Yea, so far my only knowledge is through the change Venom Note made; though with me applying it's T-Mobile fix when installing to make it compatible, you should be fine doing it with whatever working T-Mobile ROM you have on a Canadian model
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Quick story for Canadian notes: I bought a Note 5 64gb off kijiji, came with craked back glass but it was $700, so I really did not care.

After a couple of months, the bluetooth crapped out, it would work but the range was so little I had to hold phone next to my jaybird headset, anyways, I took it in to Samsung here in Mississauga for repair and 6 days later it was repaired and back glass replaced free of charge.

Pretty sweet customer service, it was also rooted but I flashed stock before taking it to them.

This was the second Note 5 that had bluetooth issues, the first one I sold to my sister who didn't care for bluetooth issues.

Apparently it's common, so watch out!
[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
So even rooted Samsung still repaired your phone? Welp, guess it's time to root. Thx for the info

BTW how can you test for BT issues?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Actually 3rd phone I have had rooted and repaired, mind you, all repairs have been hardware (twice broken screens) and motherboard Bluetooth issue.

I've never been afraid to root either lol

Mine had the same issue had to get it service at Samsung service center. Wow that sucks if it's a common problem
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Well not everyone uses Bluetooth. Hopefully mine stays working for a long time lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
It's weird I only noticed the issue when I started to use my jaybird x2 but didn't notice it with the my urbane..
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
I think it's the antenna on the Jaybirds. My senheisser wireless worked fine but the range was awful.
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
Anyone having trouble unlocking their note 5 from telus? I tried 2 unlocking services both gave me the same code and it doesn't work. Maybe Samsung did something when I had it serviced at their services center
[Galaxy Note5 General] tazzysingh1731:
Best way is to call telus and they'd do it for $50
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
I need to have an account with telus, I'm with koodo. Sucks that you need that
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Have you tried cellunlocker? Did you get the correct IMEI? Double check.
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
I did had to show video proof to get refund from both service providers. I'm trying them now, and yes I checked imei multiple times even checked the unlock code I entered was correct. Hopefully cellunlocker give me one that works
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
I have never ever had an issue with cellunlocker. Used them at least 10 times and every single time successful.

Let me know what happens. Good luck
[Galaxy Note5 General] tazzysingh1731:
So if you gonna use telus note 5 with koodo you don't need to unlock because telus owns koodo and it should work .
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
It helps resale value, and I can use my wind sim card when I'm in the USA.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tazzysingh1731:
Just get hold of someone who got telus account he'll be charged $50 in next bill and you get your phone unlocked
[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
So I finally took the plunge and rooted my note 5. Flashed a few roms and finally settled on darthstalker, but when I got to work my network kept dropping and it wouldn't connect to lte. I figured it was just a coincidence since my service isn't all that great at work anyway but the only thing was I wasn't connecting to lte at home which rarely happens. I started running tests and suddenly realized my data was unstable so I proceeded to flash back to stock. Unfortunately that hasn't fixed my connectivity issues and now I'm out of options. I called Roger's and they couldn't help,I tried reflashing to stock and nothing , tried changing settings still nothing. .so I'm here asking if my fellow xda ers can guide me to what I've done wrong. .
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Are you APN settings intact?

Can you still see your imei (dont post a screenshot of it!)?

[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
lol yes, apn is fine. Imei verified and registered on Roger's network via customer rep.
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Okay we got that out of the way...

When you flashed back to stock, do you mean odin the firmware or restore a Nandroid of stock? It will wipe your device but once you have odined stock doing a factory reset in the stock recovery has been known to fix alot of odd problems. Make sure you backup first though if you do that.

If you odined and that didnt work could be a hardware issue but its odd that simply rooting/flashing would cause this.

[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
I used Odin to restore stock firmware. So upon further testing I was able to connect to lte outdoors, as soon as I returned home I couldn't even connect to the Internet without using WiFi. .. so what can can cause indoor connection issues? I'm 100% sure before rooting I had a good signal indoors ..
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaganmohal:
Try a brand new sim card. Thats the only thing i can think of if flashing to stock firmware didnt help.

Has anybody been having any issues with Fast Wireless Charging with the official Samsung puck? It'll say it's charging and then it stops working after 10 seconds or so. I've tried different pucks, chargers, cables and plugs..

Seems like the only constant is my phone, but I'd rather not have to bring it in to a service center.. :S

Are you using different kernels? Rooted?
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
An update I got the same exact unlock code from cellunlocker (that doesn't work), starting to think there's an issue with my note 5. I'm going try going to a local store that unlocks phones and see if they know what's going on.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Is it possible that there's something wrong with the phone? I'm trying to avoid bringing it in, but it's really the only thing that I could think might be an issue..
[Galaxy Note5 General] WorldIRC:
I suppose your phone could be the issue then....
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I was kind of hoping it wasn't that, but seems like it's been narrowed down to that.. Kind of sucks that it hasn't really been happening to others.

I know the initial USB cord that came with my Note 5 was the issue when fast charging. Using the other micro USB I had in my fast charging pad and have had no issues. I know it can be touchy if placed a bit far off but otherwise no issues with the pad itself.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yeah I've read that too. I ended up trying different cables and wall adapter and neither of them changed anything. I guess I'm just unlucky! Haha.
[Galaxy Note5 General] thegregulator:
Just out of curiosity; are you using your wireless charger with the Samsung charger that came with the Note 5? I had the same issue you're having when I plugged the wireless charger into any old charger I had lying around. Using the charger that came with the Note fixed my problem.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yeah, I've had to use the original one, because it has a certain amperage that is only used for Wireless Charging (1.67A I believe).
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
That is correct. The only way to get fast charging wirelessly is using the fast charger by samsung or by any other company that states "fast charging". The puck itself won't charge "fast" without the proper charger.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yup, found that out the hard way with an Aukey 3 port USB Wall adapter that has a fast charge port, but not the right amperage for wireless fast charging.. Haha.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Really? I that's crazy. I thought that 3 port aukey would fast charge the puck. Strange. I have the aukey 3 port without fast charging.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Nope, it doesn't have the amperage for it, only 1.5A, so it fast charges when you plug it in with the USB cable, but when you try using the puck it'll just alternate between charging and not charging.. It's unfortunate.

Damn. Thanks for the tip.

I was facing somewhat the same problems after rooting and installing the custom rom and then flashing back to stock rom. But it solved the problem to install a stock rom via odin and then factory reset the phone using stock recovery from within the phone.

ROOT

What are the known issues or bugs of rooting the Canadian Variant? And what is the safest method to root SM-N920w8?
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaganmohal:
No bugs or issues rooting our note 5. Just be aware that rooting will trigger knox security forever. What that means is you loose warranty and samsung pay forever.

To gain root you have to turn ON OEM unlock under developer settings.

Then flash custom recovery and then flash custom pre rooted kernel for our device N920W8 or Tmobile N910T kernels works too. Arters kernel, skyhigh kernel and jovys stock rooted kernels are the best available.

Hope that helps. Any other questions feel free to ask here or PM me. Enjoy :)

Basically everything T-mobile is compatible with N920W8. Recovery, Kernel and ROMS except firmware flashing.

First of all dont worry about TWRP 3.0, it's the same as the previous roms.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347802037 Get TWRP from there.

Make sure you go to Device Settings:

Enable Developer Options > OEM UNLOCK or else you will be stuck!

Then flash the kernel and root your device here:

[Galaxy Note5 General] copper7op:
To clear up some of the software settings, I setup one of my Bell Note5's out of the box without a SIM card. It setup as a very plain device, no bloatware. Nice to see.

I then inserted my Telus SIM, and the entire device rebooted, and went to the Android Loading Recovery screen. When it fired back up, the device had completely reset itself to factory defaults and was alive and well on the Telus network (no unlock code needed). It also now had the Telus bloatware .

I then added my Bell sim card, and it demanded an unlock code (which I had) and replaced the Telus bloatware with Bell.

It seems these devices are factory - Samsung fresh, ready for whichever SIM card you use (locking to your first carrier) and downloading bloatware as needed !!

Also, this device was such a stripped down pile of crap, I gave it to an end user who had no need for things like expandable storage and IR blasters. I'm AMAZED that a Pro Product only gives us 32gb, with 21GB available to the end user.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deliximus:
Bell one has 24.9gb available. I have used every Note to date. This destroys my Note 4 by miles in every aspect. My wife, who also used Note 3 and 4, tried my N5 for an hour and told me to order it. It is a superb device. I understand if people need the niche items such as IR blaster, but overall, this device is awesome.

You can buy outright from any provider that sells it if you have account with them. If not you can get a friend with said account to buy it for you.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
If legit and indeed we have all these lte bands available instead of 7 advertised by my provider, this is great. Took a screenshot myself from *#2263# menu, and normally most of these would be artificially locked out in the past.

Btw VoLTE works great on Fido as well as Rogers, in the areas where network supports it.
