Spigens have a halo.. personally tested.. local one before had quite a margin and dust was collecting between the case lips and glass.. still searching for a compatible glass..
[Galaxy Note5 General] Snowscar:
download and add all apps to greenify. bye bye battery problems
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:
This is a known issue on Note5 once you're rooted and you go back to stock ROM (un-rooted) there is deep sleep issues, I don't know if you've seen the guide that is written by [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION] or not, Anyways take a look at this thread you will find your answers.
[Galaxy Note5 General] paarthdesai:
i just bought a sm920c from dubai, for 36000. it will come tomorrow, just one question, will it be region locked? if yes how can i bypass that.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
It should be unlocked. I have bought (n920I) from UAE as well and working fine. Just one thing there on N920C 4G may not work in india (someone have reported)
[Galaxy Note5 General] paarthdesai:
Vodafone 4g in Mumbai is launched on the 1800mhz. and n20c seems to support band 3. so fingers crossed ;)

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

hey, was your phone region locked?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Jee Van:
ohh.. mine also n920c. doesn't connect to airtel 4g in Mumbai..
[Galaxy Note5 General] jaiiscool:
Locked and loaded. Enjoying Vodafone 4G in Mumbai.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
enjoying ? Vodafone 4g sucks.. i get around 11mbps speed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] paarthdesai:
did you guys get your sim card from the service center directly?
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
Vodafone gallery
[Galaxy Note5 General] paarthdesai:
do they create a fuss about giving a micro sim? i had an issue with airtel due to this
[Galaxy Note5 General] suvomania:
All new sims are cut such a way, u can easily use it as micro or nano sim. Or u can cut it at home with sharp scissor or blade. Airtel & Vodafone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] paarthdesai:
Got my hands on the device. And it's lovely but a fingerprint magnet . Sm920c got it from dubai. And it wasn't region locked . RooTed it straight away. Stock +root now installing xposed. Any recommendations? On what next. BMW this is my first Samsung device

and any way i can lock apps with fingerprint.? (i do not want 3rd party apps)
[Galaxy Note5 General] dj_richard05:
Install Dr. ketan rom. Your phone will turn extra ordinary... Haha
[Galaxy Note5 General] sunny1119:
Try finger security for locking apps with fingerprint, though its a third party app its pretty good and uses fingerprints stored in your phone so you dont have to set up anything. I dont think there is an inbuilt app that allows you to lock apps using fingerprint.

anyone looking for a galaxy VR, i have one which is brand new unused and at a cheaper price than Rs.8000 ordered from the samsung estore. let me know

N920C started receiving MM 6.0.1 update..

check sammobile for reference
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:
Flipkart is selling for 7600 which I booked mine from there.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mobile Fan:
Can we install the new MM 6.0 firmware released for N920C on Note 5 SM-N920G Indian model?
[Galaxy Note5 General] devansh5:
Hi I am selling mine for 6k
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:
I doubt.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
It will fail. I have just recovered from soft brick. (Still trying to brick :p )

How about content and existing vids and photos in Samsung galary?
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
I am not getting ur point
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
I mean can you watch youtube on it or photos and vids from Samsung galary

Or does it show only special vr related content only
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
No good news for other variant for MM

I have N920I and stated by garyd9 it was failing on system hidden and pit with Odin.

So I took other way and made flashable zip

As expected device stuck to Samsung logo with LP bootloaer.

I took risk to flash bootloader but unfortunately it fail b Odin as well. So we may have to wait little longer.

Yes you can watch everything from gallery. but with VOID cinema and MilkVR..

Need some suggestions on screen protector with 0% halo effect. Please suggest the good ones.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
i bought from a local shop in mumbai, its smaller than the screen size to avoid the halo effect. You may want to try gadgetsheildz
[Galaxy Note5 General] Vishnu pv:
You can buy Stalion screen shiled. No halo effect. Im using it. Lil bit costly. I bought it for 1450 rs.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:
I Feel its quite expensive, Let me check a few more before I place the order.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nitinmits:
Query?

Why my JIO sim indicates 2 arrows on top and also LTE symbol written whereas other 4G such as Idea shows 4G symbol?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nitinmits:
i have purchased nillkin screen protector imported from china. will apply tomorrow morning.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dj_richard05:
I'm using nilkin purchased from eBay for 300 bucks. It does have the halo effect but it's way better than others. The quality of this protector is so much better for the price.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nitinmits:
they are of many types. mine is quite good. here is the pic.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dj_richard05:
I was talking about this one. It does the job and is really good in terms of quality.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Even s5 seems to have updated to marshmallow what the hell is happening with Samsung with note update
[Galaxy Note5 General] anmolkakkar:
Seriously, I too am frustrated with the Note5 N9208 (Dual Sim) update from Samsung. Seems like forever. :@
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
And they wonder why their sales is dropping... Well even the so called flagship killer with near stock rom oneplus 2 also has not released marshmallow update so that's even more frustrating bcoz note 5 has its horrible touchwiz to work with new version of Android

Moto is quite good in this department with timely updates
[Galaxy Note5 General] diegonnc:
I really don't know why they haven't updated this variant yet .
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
I'll be getting a nexus 6p in a day or two, nice offer going in fk and Amazon. With Android 7 around the corner I don't think it's funny anymore to wait for updates. Though the spec is not as top as note 5 I'm happy enough to get back to flashaholic mode. Btw this is my first nexus device :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
even verizon was able to deliver the MM update before the unlocked version.!

6P is too huge for me.. and with all the features sammy has, i might not be able to change the phone yet..
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
I too had so many reasons for not touching nexus line up, but for once today I kept all those things aside and going ahead :p, fresh breath of air, will definitely missing some of the touchwiz functions
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Price is not down for nexus 6p what offer you mentioned... Price is just 7 to 8% discount which they give anyways
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
Till yesterday the price was around 42.x k, from 7th to 9th it is 39.5k, that's what I heard from a known source. I would say it's a steal deal, saw you in 6p forum as well, having 6p as well?
[Galaxy Note5 General] HS™:
I have both and come back to N5 as my daily driver:)

Nexus 6p is a phone with awesome pure android experience but some drawbacks which i don't enjoy
[Galaxy Note5 General] drdanishkhannew.540:
I dont get it why is everybody getting so worked up about mm update.. the phone is imo running just fine.. battery life is pretty decent after using package disabler pro and ram issue isnt that bothersome.. anybody wanna explain the frenzy?
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Not yet...I almost sold note 5 for 6p but note 5 hardware specially camera and build quality is too good also then pen

If only marshmallow comes to it soon

Samsung Galaxy Note 5, six months on

http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-six-months
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Instead of 6p ppl can get oneplus 2 for almost half the price.... All roms are readily available for it
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
cant compromise on amoled , cant even think of a device with amoled panel (atleast for me ;))
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Well 6p panel is not like note 5 for sure [emoji1]
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
Yea, but only in terms of brightness, apart from that both are same panels from Sammy. Along with boost brightness mode and color calibration via custom kernel it should come closer to note 5.

I'd better stop talking about 6p here, or else I'll be pelted with stones in a few posts from now lol. ??
[Galaxy Note5 General] gauravbhawsar:
Em also tempted too much with the discount.. Ws planning for the S7 Or 6p...but the yellow tint issue with the 6p ppl are facing (as per the customers comment) I am in a doubt...but 16k difference is quite a big one..
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
Got mine delivered, with my past 5 years experience with amoled I can say there is no tint issue(in my batch). Color shifting on tilting is there but it's common for most amoled screens
[Galaxy Note5 General] gauravbhawsar:
It's specifically Nexus 6p issue of yellow tint.. Many users are reporting (Checked in the user review section of Flipkart)...

Btw Which color you bought..
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
For how much u sold the Note 5

[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
graphite grey i think, first time amoled adopters might find it hard to distinguish due to the warm temperature of the screen. should be worriedn only if part of the screen has tit and the other part is fine.

39,500 :D

and purchased n6p for 39,499. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note5 General] franksmj:
Hi bala.. where did you sell your note 5 ?... in chennai? Hw much?
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
To a friend of mine. 39.5k along with wireless charger and nilkin case
[Galaxy Note5 General] drtusharpatil:
My nexus 6p has no tint at all. Sold my imported note 5 for 36k and got 6p for 42999 with 5% cash back offer.

Not as lucky as Bala though.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HS™:
So now installing rom? try DU and my themes:)
[Galaxy Note5 General] sahirhussain:
i too am a note 5 owner and thinking about switching to nexus 6p. is there anything you miss from your note 5? is the battery life better/worse? to be honest here, i am also torn between upgrading to the new galaxy s7 edge. that phone is a beauty and the reviews are encouraging.
[Galaxy Note5 General] drtusharpatil:
Miss the s pen sometimes and the screen if note 5. Battery life for now is very similar to what I was getting on my note 5. But 6p ow very fast and everything opens in a jiffy.

Me too planning for S7 edge but may be letter when the price settles to a sensible level.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
Sure, will use. Any link or available in play store?
[Galaxy Note5 General] shuvadeep:
Just pre-booked my S7 Edge Onyx Black 32GB. Hope will enjoy it better than my Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 General] drtusharpatil:
Friends from where exactly one needs to buy a mobile handset in dubai to get the best deal. My parents are travelling this month end and planning to get S7 edge from there.

As many have u got note 5 from dubai hence asking.

I want the exact address and name of the shop/mall.

How much difference is there if u buy S7 edge from dubai than in India.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nitinmits:
if you have used Note series that you won't like S series. Happened with me once.

Fingers crossed for it to be marshmallow

Is it? Proof? May be its still 5.1.1 security patch update... :(

Don't think so

Because I fought with them for refund

[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Samsung plays game by not updating deliberately so that ppl sell old devices and buy new ones
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
?? lol, year after year, same mistake, yet they refuse to learn
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
Yep that's the real fact......
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
Guys, I've gotten OTA update for my N920C and what I see is extremely bad battery and some features missing from Lollypop. I don't see

1. unlock animations.

2. Weather on lockscreen.

3. No battery on the smart manager widget. You need to open the app to check battery stats.

3. No more search options in the dropdown menu.

To speak about the positive things, the animations have become slightly smoother. And the notification panel is a lot more usable now. The settings menu has also improved dynamically.

Anyone else with N920C has experienced the same.

Seriously if you ask me, I want to go back to Lollypop. It was perfect in every way. No idea why Sammy has removed those little stuffs that you would use on a regular basis.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Do a factory reset for performance issues
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
There's no performance issues but the battery. And today I see the battery is better. It's real or a placebo is something that I'm gonna test again. Maybe it needs to settle. ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] themoto:
I flasht CAM version this week and this is thirth cycle i think

batery is great.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
That looks good. Mine is an official update and compared to Jellybean mine is bad. With JB I used to get an average of 5mins of screen on time with 1 percentage of battery with hundreds of apps installed and Wifi and Bluetooth always on. But since MM update it has drastically decreased. Less than 3 mins of screen on time with 1% of battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] junedvanoo:
Hi all. This is my first post in the forum so plz guide me if this is already posted. I have a Malaysian note 5 duos bought in December. I did receive 2 security updates till date in india. Can anyone confirm that I will get the MM update in India or do i have to flash it with indian firmware.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
You will get the MM update when Sammy rolls it out for your version, no matter wherever you are. Don't worry. But once you get the official rollout there are chances that you might not be happy. The battery in the N920C official firmware is pretty bad compared to LP. Mine is stock, unrooted and currently running on official MM.
[Galaxy Note5 General] junedvanoo:
Thanks Govind...i am getting security update ota in india. So i guess i should get the mm update as well ota right whenever it is release to 9208.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
JB ? i dint know you can install JB on Note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
My bad. What I meant was Lollypop.

Now i m thinking of selling note 5 and get a nexus 6p.... Probably i'l sell it today only
[Galaxy Note5 General] aamirleo55:
Hi Doc.. which model of Note 5 you are about to buy ? please let me know, i'll buy that model only. Im a big fan of ur Roms.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
yes they will launch note 5 priced around 50-52k
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
I hope u r right if that happen I will get 64gb version and sell this 32gb grey market one :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Sharp-Razr:
How do you expect it to be 50-52K when the Note 4 was 58-59K at launch?
[Galaxy Note5 General] abhishek1111:
Because I spoke to the Samsung distributor z he said edge plus is higher than note by 5k atleast.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

All markets around the world s6 edge + is prices around 100 dollars higher than note 5. Edge plus is 57900 in india. I think you can do the math.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Our Sammy doesn't compromise on margins :) Well, if it's lower than the Edge good. Anyways I am holding back from upgrading for the time being. A lower price will make any future upgrade easier.

EDIT: I am really looking very seriously at shifting lock, stock and barrel to the Nexus range. The Note 5 doesn't interest me too much primarily because of the expected price, non removable battery and no SD card. Have patronized them since the original Note back in 2011 beside other products like the S series. Sammy has screwed around with customers long enough.
[Galaxy Note5 General] docc:
It's great getting it immediately but isn't anybody bothered about the warranty?

Samsung really overcharges for out of warranty repairs.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
You are right about non removable battery and no sd card but if we need premium design and not some cheap looking plastic phone which cost a ton then this is a way to go...all iphone are like that and we can argue on ios software which i hate btw but design wise I believe all will like iPhone .

You got to feel note5 in hands ....it's beating iPhone look all feel in all aspects...the curve back edges are great design choice by Samsung this time which makes it very comfortable to hold and makes the overall device footprint very small compared to older note phones
