[Galaxy Note5 General] Sharp-Razr:
The thing is, I used 3 generations of iPhones before changing over to Android. So yes, I know what it means to use glass + steel super premium products that are ring fenced and come with certain restrictions. As a relevant point even my Nexus 6 does not have a SD card slot or a removable battery.

I don't doubt for a moment that the Note 5 has upped the bar as far as premium look and feel are concerned. The thing is, will I pay a large sum of money for a product that gets iffy support from its manufacturer. We, as current and former owners of the Note 4, are aware of how Samsung treated the Note 4 vis a vis the Lollipop update. Not a pleasant experience given the premium price I paid.

I am waiting for a formal launch in this country, a dealer I spoke to this evening said it would be in & around October/November 2015 (Dassera/Diwali) in time for the festive season.

Let's see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Samsung launch policy in India is horrible this time ...next month iPhone 6s is coming and unlike Samsung. .apple will launch it asap as there are a lot of ppl who need this high end devices and I sincerely wish Samsung loose a lot of market this time in India and regreqt their launch policy in India this time

They can on only make up for keeping price close to 52k but I doubt that also seeing their history
[Galaxy Note5 General] singhpratik87:
Any idea if samsung has implemented region lock? Reason I ask since the phones you guys bought are imported. So if anyone has any knowledge on this issue feel free to share.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
It's Singapore version and its fully unlocked no region lock etc at all
[Galaxy Note5 General] abspossible:
I almost ordered via ebay

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161799955460

But a hint of skeptism crept over me, so before I become the Guinea Pig, was wondering if someone here has bought this on ebay and can give feedback.

Even if you didn't buy it any advise is welcome.
[Galaxy Note5 General] abhishek1111:
Region lock is the simplest to remove actually.. All you need is 5 min conversation on the phone with that region sim on roaming. Mine was middle east and North Africa region locked. I put in a Dubai sim and spoke for 5 min from here in hyderabad. Done!
[Galaxy Note5 General] predator21:
Any idea when will we get..note 5? In gey market whatever is available. ..not sure if radio band will support all indian frequency. .
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Read this thread carefully many have explained the band etc for all grey market versions
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
My suggestion is buy from grey market and see the device before buying but some here has also bought from ebay so try ur luck
[Galaxy Note5 General] predator21:
I am getting 64 gb for 56k ... jst worried for warranty. .. u share frm whr u got it...?
[Galaxy Note5 General] docc:
What's the cheapest price in Hyderabad?
[Galaxy Note5 General] vick8384:
Any Ebay Online Buyers of Note 5

Anyone here who bought their Note 5s from Ebay.in and particularly from Mumbai .. Anyone ?

Problem is that they wont tell which model they shall ship and what color they shall ship.. Whatever is available..

Worried because of the band.. Some said here that N920C works for INDIAN 4G, Some say only N920I will

Any help provided is appreciated pls
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Many ppl have done that...if u don't use s pen then 6p is better also u can play with Android n
[Galaxy Note5 General] vshainky08:
I use the s pen occasionally.. S pen is handy and saves time when needed.

But thinking about updates samsung is making me do it. There's no marshmallow yet.

I am now thinking whether we will get Android n or not. While nexus will be having it the same day it will be released.

So i m a lil bit confused :confused:
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Forget Android n on note 5..maybe note 6 will have it at end of the year or next year

This is the biggest problem with Samsung.. updates
[Galaxy Note5 General] IftikarKhan:
no mm update for sm-n920g still. they rolled out this update in nepal. i guess india comes after nepal and srilanka will get that ;-P
[Galaxy Note5 General] Vishnu pv:
We can flash nepal's firmware :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] vshainky08:
Dude, I think that post if fake. There's no info about build no and there's no screenshot too. I think it's just published for clicks.

Yeah thats the only problem. I am confused as hell. We spend almost 50k and now samsung is doing this. damn :eek:

I think i should buy 6p.

Btw i see this sent using nexus 6p :P

so you switched too ?

How does it feel over Note 5 ? screen, speed, ram, camera ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Best hardware in 6p is the front speakers ...screen is slightly less popping than note 5 but still amoled ...and I opted for Android beta program to get Android N and that's the best part of Nexus

Camera hardware is great but software is not as good and fast as note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] vshainky08:
I was using oneplus one earlier and i m pretty much familiar with cm. So i got a note for a change.

But these updates :crying:

hahahahhaa....... Man you are making me confused :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] Vishnu pv:
Anyone can confirm if nepal received the update????
[Galaxy Note5 General] mikil.mamtani:
Nepal has not got any update , just checked samfirmware .
[Galaxy Note5 General] vshainky08:
As it said that post is fake... click bait
[Galaxy Note5 General] Vishnu pv:
Now when the hell update gonna release :mad: Damn Samsung
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kakewaheguru:
Hello everyone.I'm as curious as you all to see my note running the marshmallow update but (I dont mean to discourage you all anyways) I had a chat with the customer care and the guy told me that it might take few days for the official rollout.So I think its better not to expect the update before first week of april :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] patneetsaini:
Good news guys. .. marshmallow update for n920g in India. ... downloading.... ota
[Galaxy Note5 General] sandeeppandey:
Note 5 is getting the ota right now in India
[Galaxy Note5 General] mikil.mamtani:
Yes it is gettin OTA , if anyone has already updated please can you give a brief review how the phone behaves after the update ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
yes available via OTA but not yet available in smartswitch
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kakewaheguru:
Yaaaaaay...!! Finally we're getting the ota.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mikil.mamtani:
I would like to know if it would be better to update via OTA or flash via ODIN ? I feel that a clean install is always better and smoother .
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
Update via Ota & then reset your device once from stock recovery
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
It's always better to mention - When factory reset from stock recovery, It will wipe complete data from Internal storage. :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] pratik_193:
Hahaha yaa right
[Galaxy Note5 General] mikil.mamtani:
Thanks for the quick reply , i wanted to do a clean install as in erase everything even data on the phone/sd card (songs , images etc) i feel that this way there will be no hangs or slow downs .

---------- Post added at 07:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

Thank you dr.ketan , i wanted to do a complete wipe of the internal storage anyways . I must say your wealth of knowledge and custom rom support for the note series is what drives sales for samsung . Thank You Sir !
[Galaxy Note5 General] amey_shah2011:
I updated software version to android 6.0. After update, when I detach S-pen air command does'nt work.No floating icon can be seen.In Settings Menu also Air Command option is disabled.

U all are facing same issues?
[Galaxy Note5 General] srini09:
Updated. Truth is, hardly can feel free difference in performance level. That's credit to how good Lollipop was on Note 5. Yet to complete the first full battery discharge cycle. But so far so good. No negatives thus far. Updated by OTA without any wipe or factory reset.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jaiiscool:
I feel like I just upgraded the cpu of Note 5. It is wicked fast now.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickmathur13:
It's damn fast, much polished and many other small improvements
[Galaxy Note5 General] srini09:
First battery cycle has not been that great. How is it with everybody else? Unable to get into doze mode just yet. Let's hope it improves with few more cycles.
[Galaxy Note5 General] vshainky08:
M facing huge battery drain. Phone is not sleeping at all. I tried factory reset also:crying::crying:
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickmathur13:
Mine is better than Lollipop! Doze seems to work as its only starts when none of your sensor has any activity! So that happens only in night.. Will be able to get more info as time passes
[Galaxy Note5 General] King Varyan:
I am facing huge battery drain issue after updating to Marshmallow. Also after update Fast charging is no more fast enough. It takes almost 2 hours to charge my phone completely. Is anyone else facing same issue?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nitinmits:
Friends high speed Marshmallow download link for Indian ROM model N920G

d-h.st/BEH1
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
My fast charging also shows 2hrs to complete charge.

Else it seems great.

Anyone have downloaded full odin flashable n920g India mm?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mehtamitul:
Currently on oneplus2 but would like to go for either note 5 duos 64gb or s7. Which would u recommend?
[Galaxy Note5 General] sahirhussain:
exactly my thoughts! apps are suddenly so much more smooth (both to open and navigate). icons are smaller to my liking. fingerprint recognition is faster (not that it wasnt fast enough before). samsung did such a good job with this update that i dont mind the delay anymore.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jaiiscool:
I would say S7 without even blinking. Or if you can wait, then definitely Note 6
[Galaxy Note5 General] Smarty sharma:
Downloaded and flashed with twrp and supersu 2.68beta..working fine

PS: waiting for your magic
[Galaxy Note5 General] mehtamitul:
Can any of you please advise on the lowest price for Note 5 duos 64gb India warranty version in Mumbai? Based on what I hunted on internet Just Dial was the cheapest at 53.4k if you are aware of any dealer selling lower than that in Mumbai kindly msg me the details. Thanks for your help in advance.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mikil.mamtani:

[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Why u want to downgrade, if u facing issues with 6.0 try factory reset
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
Is there a way to backup an unrooted phone so that you can restore it the way it was after factory reset. I just miss my battery performance on stock 5.1.1.

Battery life is terrible on MM
[Galaxy Note5 General] max.android:
was facing a lot of battery drain with battery life of only 10-11 hrs ..SOT 2hrs max...so wanted to downgrade...

anyways..did another clean stock install last night and got 24hrs + battery life and 5hrs SOT ..so will stay with MM :):)
[Galaxy Note5 General] ManmeetSingh007:

Does any one else facing S pen delay in detection issue? Once i take s pen out it normally take 10 seconds to detect. What should i do?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:

Yes if you stay on stock you will.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Smarty sharma:
Battery life is perfect here on mm
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
I'm using an N920C. I presume yours is N920G. Maybe a factory reset will fix the issue with my firmware.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Smarty sharma:
I was on dr. Ketan LP rom.. I fully wiped everything from TWRP then flashed MM through Odin.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
Mine is stock and unrooted. I've always been on rooted phones. Nowadays I don't have time to play with it. So thought will have the taste of unrooted phone for the first time in my smartphone life. Lol.
[Galaxy Note5 General] shamps:
Since you were on a custome rom earlier, after updating to stock MM, does your phone deep sleep?

I remeber reading somewhere that rooted phones dont deepsleep on stock roms.

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Smarty sharma:
No issue of deep sleep without even custom kernel.. using googy max kernel right now
[Galaxy Note5 General] shamps:
Thanks.

My wife is using the Note 5 these days. Was planning to return it to full stock so that she can receive OTAs without me having to fiddle with the phone.

Will do it now.

Cheers!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.Gonzo105:
My phone is unrooted and completely stock on mm.

It drains about 30 % overnight, its like there's no deep sleep only. I have no idea how to improve my battery life. Any idea?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gowind:
Same here. But it's getting better over time. It's been a month since I got OTA update on my N920C. It was terrible initially but now a lot better. But still nothing like when it came out of box with stock 5.1
[Galaxy Note5 General] jaiiscool:
Just wanted to know if the data also gets restored with the apps after factory reset (new feature of marshmallow)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note5 General] vshainky08:
My working fine... Since my phone was rooted it was not going to deep sleep. I applied deep sleep fix and getting the same backup as it was on 5.1.1 :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickmathur13:
I did a normal OTA update to MM.. First 2 3 days, battery life was good. Even better than 5.1 but now when it's like 15 20 days now, battery life is bad.. 30 to 35 percent drop in night.. Seems there is no doze or whatever! What do you guys suggest.. Factory reset.. I hate it as everything needs to be reloaded like songs and stuff.. I think that's the only option left now.. Anyone with a similar problem like mine.. Can anyone tell their experience after they have done a factory reset (unrooted)..
[Galaxy Note5 General] ManmeetSingh007:
What was the deep sleep fix that you applied?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickmathur13:
Guys.. I am facing a peculiar issue.. My cable for fast charger for working fine.. But recently, whenever I plug it in, it shows cable charging and then I reinsert it, it shows fast charging post that.. Anyone facing this scenario?
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Yes it's common issue
[Galaxy Note5 General] nitinmits:
i also faced same issue. i went to samsung service centre and changed my fast charger.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.Gonzo105:
Guys after the update my speaker is having some issues. There's a cracking type of sound while playing songs

And the thing is if I restart a song the sound would go only to come back after 1 or 2 songs. So I guess it's a software problem. Any idea what should I do?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Vishnu pv:
Yeah. It happened me too. Might be music player or software issue.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.Gonzo105:
I have no idea

It's there with Google music player also
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickmathur13:
Found an unusual bug.! If I change a theme.. And don't restart the phone! The phone after a while restarts on its own! Tested it 3 to 4 times now! Also faced a weird issue that my battery was 25% and suddenly phone switched off! And then didn't turn on.. Doing some hard reset.. It opened for a few seconds showing 0% battery! Had to recharge from a wall charger to get it back to life!
[Galaxy Note5 General] drdanishkhannew.540:
After much apprehension updated my note 5 to MM.. Device does seem to be faster and memory management issue and now the device always has more than 2 GB ram free.. seems to be a lot better.. Battery life has improved a tad bit. The only thing i dont like is the white wash they have done.. dont exactly like the white notification panel.. rest of the stuff is okay..
[Galaxy Note5 General] vshainky08:

Hi, I was Rooted and on stock Rom, I tried to do full unroot through option from Supersu so I could get the latest update. But when i Restarted the phone it is now stuck in Bootloop. What should I do? I tried Emergency recovery using Smartswitch but it says unsupported device. Any ideas on what could I do? Should I flash stock firmware through Odin?

Edit: flashed latest rom via Odin but the battery is draining super fast.

How to get the update on customer rom rooted
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
Hey guys, what is the average screen on time you are getting??
[Galaxy Note5 General] nvrmndryo:
This is after update.
[Galaxy Note5 General] drdanishkhannew.540:
I got close to 7 hours. Before update it was around 6.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
wow you are getting awesome battery life

mine is around 3.5-4 hours

plz tell me more about your device as to brightness,sensors,sync etc

and ways to maximize sot
[Galaxy Note5 General] nvrmndryo:
Custom brightness, wifi - data off while sleeping, greenify,when not playing games power saving mode on. I restart phone when 100% charge. My idea network is **** or I will get more standby.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
What percentage of brightness do u use?

Other than playing games ur phone is on power saving mode all the time?

Do u charge ur phone switched on or switched off?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nvrmndryo:
Mostly 30% screen brightness. Yes most of the times my phone is on power saving mode. I charge while phone is On. But I don't always get 6hrs of sot. Yesterday I got only 4hrs of sot. If I keep data /wifi on all night that makes huge difference.
[Galaxy Note5 General] drdanishkhannew.540:
Well mine is charged before i go to bed . Wake up to around 96%. Then usual net surfing on WIFI.. i have good network coverage and rarely use my 3G services so that saves up a lot of battery. Screen brightness is at 15% as i am inside most of the time. Jet black wallpaper and dont have any google apps installed also no networking apps like fb etc installed coz they drain battery in the background. The last one made a huge difference. I can always use the samsung browser to access them.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nitinmits:
I think some people deserves Nokia 1100. They always talk about battery, SOT and don't understand for QHD and such a huge screen it will consume battery. And yes the battery depends upon usage and network usage. Why they just want to increase Thanks meter and number of posts?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nvrmndryo:
Because note series is for business class, and battery is the most important thing. Everyone is just trying to know if they are doing something wrong, and not getting good battery life, nothing wrong in that. If you don't like it, just ignore and scroll the page.
[Galaxy Note5 General] drdanishkhannew.540:
Well if you are a power user then yeah its important. People getting 3 3.5hrs sot isnt normal. It means something is wrong. 'Some people' have better battery life even while they enjoy the phone because they know how to balance things.
