Which version will get the most dev support, as I regretted buying the s5 Indian version, hope this time all devices get dev support,
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
After Samsung messed up with multi variants developers are distributed. If you want better development support then you should wait and watch. Also there are limited developers from India so Indian version will have less support. Hopefully this time all are exynos so there may be cross variant possibilities can't be ruled out. If it is possible then very good news for users.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
just got an OTA update on 920I version....anyone else got it
[Galaxy Note5 General] sanghaviraj:
Thanks Dr khetan,I would rather wait, coz there are report of ram management issues with note 5, as Samsung has imposed restrictions on number of apps that can run in background, similar to what I experience in s5,I mean what use if your browser re opens page every time you come back from another aap, for these glitches and others dev support is must!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] anshkhanna:
Me too.... Waiting eagerly
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Got my N5 (N920i)
[Galaxy Note5 General] harsha_aithal:
Awesome. Like the build quality. UI is much smoother. Smoother than S6. Havent got a chance to test the LTE yet as i have a vodafone sim currently. Pen is much more accurate works like a breeze and doesn't feel like a wasted accessory. Brilliant screen.
[Galaxy Note5 General] whosaysjohn:
thanks! and battery life on dual sim?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jayesh:
What's with the 'FYI PLEASE". It has the band, so it supports it?
[Galaxy Note5 General] sstiwari:
Hi

Did anyone order the dual sim version from shabeer chennai http://www.ebay.in/itm/131587461382?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

Which Model? Does it support LTE 1800/2300?

Thanx
[Galaxy Note5 General] kaew:
Hi Dr. Ketan,

I think that you begin to create custom ROM of SM-N920I.

Then, can that ROM be used also by SM-N920C?

I think that you does not understand yet since creation of ROM is not completed.

However, only SM-N920C is released in Thailand in which I live.

If your ROM cannot use it for SM-N920C, I have to purchase SM-N920I from Singapore.

I am using your ROM by Note3 and I love your ROM very much.

I want to use your ROM also Note5 very much .
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Actually delay is due to multiple factors. I have got minor accident so not comfortable to seat long time. Also here 3 days holidays started here. Right now going to test ROM now and after test I will post result.

I am not going to include modem so hopefully should work on N920C as well.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kaew:
Hi Mr.Tetan,

Thank you for your information.

I will purchase N920C and will wait for your wonderful ROM.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Got good start.

[Galaxy Note5 General] sanghaviraj:
Any insight on exposed module compatibility?, as it comes from the same s6 family?
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
Yup, samsung has a launch event tomorrow at Noida for note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
The pricing would be the key for samsung hope they keep the launch price down this time

Hey doc I am out of town these days will do it when I return
[Galaxy Note5 General] franksmj:
They launched s6 edge + around 58k...

so the n5 launch price around 58k+..
[Galaxy Note5 General] sandeeppathak007:
If this is the pricing then fail for 32 gb
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
it seems samsung india will launch only gold and silver variants of note 5 in india....................................
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Will they get 64gb one?
[Galaxy Note5 General] docc:
Pricing is everything and I think it will be in line with S6 edge plus price.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
no 64gb at launch
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
I think they will launch the dual sim variant in India
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
no dual sim only single sim SM-N920G for india..........................
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Wonder what they price bcoz in ebay single SIM is as low as 46k now

They should give freebie like wireless Charger etc
[Galaxy Note5 General] docc:
It's pretty retarded why they aren't selling 128gb version. It's 2015!!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
At least they should make the 64gb easily available first

Can someone confirm whether Indian version support VoLTE ? This is utmost important as Newly launched Tab s2 Supports the same in India.

Crucial as Reliance JIO, soon to be launched will need VolTE on band LTE 1800/2300 .

In VoLTE,voice is HD and experience is really superb ... !!
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
LOL :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
So who have Pre booked.... I am inclined on selling the grey one and getting 64gb but seems it's not that worth to spend that much just for storage.. Also who gets indian version pls let us know the camera make... If it's sony or Samsung and do u all get any extra freebie like payback points etc?
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
We will get wireless charger same like S6 Edge +
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Will it be fast charger?
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
No idea... Lets wait for few days.. even Retailers doesnt knw abt the charger ...
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Hey kannan are u planning to upgrade to 64gb official one yet
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
I thinks its normal wireless charger only.. this is what i got after prebooking
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Yes its normal one Its a shame... Its quite cheap available so no real benefit in ore booking bcoz retail price will be around 2k less than MRP in Stores... Essentially Samsung is selling its old wireless Charger stock indirectly
[Galaxy Note5 General] One Twelve:
Yeah, good considered choice. it cracks me up that for a device that has yet to be announced there is 34 pages of discussion. vice 7 pages for the above mentioned that has been out for over two months now. I find it strange there is very little interest in the indian threads over the G4. i know a few reviewers that have held onto it for over 3 months which is telling. usually these people get rid of their stuff as soon as the review is done. recycle their money and move on to the next latest & greatest.

G4 is how sammy made their devices until last year, replaceable battery, sd card, easily repairable ie cheaper to repair. Instead we get all this yap about looks ie expensive to repair or service. minus-ing of features you took for granted that too at extra cost. for what ? looks ? lol.

Has to be in a case as its slippery as hell so nobody gets to see those 'looks' in the first place. there was one guy crying over how he had to pay rs.8k just to replace some cracked glass on the back of his S6. this is what happens when you go naked. all these looks are only good to sell you the damn thing. Reality mean using without dropping.

its quite disturbing to hear the experiences of those on the note 4, which is half the price of this thing and works great so long as you did not upgrade to L. who replaces a note in less than a year ?! i have a friend who is still on the original note and has no need to upgrade. my note tab from 2012 still works great, its on kk. no need for L. So what is doing good with L ? the mid-rangers. L works great with mid rangers, high end devices for some reason have problems, across the board. battery life reduced with xperias and OPO.

All this note 5 amounts to is a s6 edge plus with a pen. Its no longer a note, which people advocating note 5 in this thread have not grasped. Samsung screwed over their loyal supporters. Power users. To compound matters further samsung is pushing the s6 edge plus (moronic name). On top of that there is no mention of official launch. You have to be nuts to want this thing after what happened with the note 4 and their stupid decision to go for 'looks' over functionality.

what size to get ? do not consider 32gb, it has to be 64gb. Why only 64 gb ? because nobody will pay for 128 GB (!). Not an iphone you see so expect to lose half the value in a year. When instead you could have just stuck a 128GB card and forgotten about storage for the next three.

If you have a note 4 hold on to it. no choice but to go the rom route which you should not have had to do.

wait for sammy to come to their senses next year. if they don't others will replace them. They screwed up their low end last year, this year they are doing it to the high end.

They'll introduce an exchange offer if sales are lower than expected. :) Either way, my mobile phone dealer also provides this facility so it's no big deal.

Giving up my 128 GB SD Card and removable battery in my Note 4 making me balk. So I am holding back from upgrading as of now. May consider it after the inevitable price drop a few months down the line.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Anshul Rajput:

Anyone tried installing the custom. Kernels/roms available here, does it work on the Indian version sm-n920g? [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

Did you tried? Is cross flashing available with note 5 atleast?

Texted from Note 4
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
+1
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Does n920g available?

This time I have n920i. But once n920g stock kernel available we should get support too.

cross flashing with N910c and N910i is 100% working even sharing same custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
Sounds Good Doc :good:
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
That's a great relief, was looking to order the device on samsung store and saw the product name 920g (which oddly isnt named anywhere else in internet). I was a bit skeptical to buy as I don't want to end up like 910g. Hope you remember the cross flashing issues between 910f and 910g, I don't want that to happen again :D

Texted from Note 4
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Cross flashing always caused pain on SD while this issue less on exynos. This time we have all exynos (If i am not wrong) so think should be easy. Though certain variant may need small patch to work international ROM. like N920c and N920i can share same ROM but N920T requires call audio fix.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Still I recommend to wait and watch before buying indian version bcoz I think indian version will be limited to India only (I think they planning to manufacture in india) and obviously we will have less developer on indian base if that restricted to india only.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
And if possible a mini review of how is the device compared to note 4?

Texted from Note 4
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Except lacking ext SD all other way it's outstanding. Battery life 30% longer in same environment though battery capacity is slightly smaller.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
Gr8 to know. Once 64gb black variant is available I may pick one

Texted from Note 4
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
it seems as of now samsung india has no plans for black and silver 64gb variants..............only gold variant(pre-order info sent to retailers also has only gold for 64gb)
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Yeah will u exchange ur 32gb one for 64gb if black was available

I think it's too much of money to increase memory but I needed it as I have lots of hi res audio and pics and its filling fast

Hei kannan,, good to see you here. Ill rather wait for it to become available atleast white.

[Galaxy Note5 General] max.android:
yes silver looks amazing on s6 edge + but no silver 64gb note 5 :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
Yes silver is Very nice. I think there is no other option other than gold. Gold is also good, but not as much as silver. Either in have to wait or go with gold it seems. Friend of mine working for Samsung has also confirmed there is no other colors announced for sale yet(64 gb)

[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
When indian version will available in market?
[Galaxy Note5 General] harsha_aithal:
Just an update here about the version SM N920C dual sim.

I recently got a new airtel 4g sim. And both the sim slots were enabled with 4G LTE. While this was a piece of good news, the bad new comes in terms of the speed . My phone is able to perform at max 10mbps in last one week. To compare. . I have a Vodafone connection which gives me a good 5 mbps download on a 3g connection.

This is in Chennai by the way.

Also after enabling 4G battery gets exhausted pretty quickly. With 3g I was able to get around a day battery but now with 4G I have around 15 % battery left at around 10 PM
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
from 20th onwards................
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
21st doc.. samsung might specify the date from 20th.. more than 6 samsung cafe confirmed the date here in chennai are 21st and 22nd september.. 32Gb available frm 21st 64gb available from 22nd

well, in mumbai and delhi its different situation, in fact almost players there have relatively good services than any other city in India....I a in Pune and airten was worst, had to port to vodafone last year, that too worked good for 3g now its even slowing down

fact is there is no proper law or escalation process to **** these telecom companies who rips us with calls drops, useless 3g 4g services

they just get a huge number of customer base in india as we are the most populated country in the world with no proper law to protect consumer interests like in US or UK

Asim Warsi,Samsung VP to business today

In line with the global launch, you have launched the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ in India. Will the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ and the Galaxy Note 5 be manufactured in India?

A. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy S6+, just like all our smartphones, will be manufactured in India. Even the Galaxy Note 5, when launched in India, will be manufactured at our Greater Noida factory that manufactures all (our) smartphones. The manufacturing facility is fully geared to manufacture any kind of any of technology of devices, from flagship smartphones to tablets to feature phones. Whatever smartphone we sell in India will be manufactured in India; our sale in India is met by the production in India.

[Galaxy Note5 General] nishant786:
Samsung, if you are listening, here's a hint of the success of your great marketing strategy. No one in India has even bothered to start an 'Indian s6 edge+' thread yet.

Take a hint and do the right thing before even we lose interest.

BTW guys, the note 5 is available in the grey market for around 54 and I'm tempted. Anyone with experience in such matters have any advice?
