Well as of right now I be a rooted man! Can't wait to see the tweaks and stuff available
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
You guys been using any roms?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
I'm just rooted with xposed, still odexed Canadian firmware.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Nope, stock unrooted. Honestly, this is the first phone where I don't have the urge to root and flash a custom ROM. Everything that I need is available on stock, and some of the more annoying cosmetic issues that I had with my Note 3 (the stupid input method keyboard icon in the status bar for example) are either gone, or are hidden in such a way that it doesn't impede me.

So, so far I'm happy with the stock unrooted life! Shocking hearing me say that :p
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
I was curious what rooms are ok.. I wouldn't mind a nice d bloated CleanROM

We're definitely getting the update, it would be ridiculous if we didn't! I have a feeling there are just so many models and variants, it was bound to happen that they missed one in their article.
[Galaxy Note5 General] SkimGuy:
Where did you guys all get your note 5s from? Hardware upgrades or bought outright? Has anyone bought a 64gb version/dual sim version and imported it into Canada?
[Galaxy Note5 General] NiquiSE:
I bought mine Outright from Telus
[Galaxy Note5 General] ameanl:
They have left all Canadian Carriers out with our model number... No Rogers, Bell, or Telus.

But Have the S6 variant from Bell listed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrnovanova:
Can anyone on the Rogers network please confirm that VoLTE is working for them.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Has anyone carrier unlocked their phone and then noticed excessive battery drain?
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAGr8:
Volte works perfect here on rogers today was the first time it didn't work and that's because i somehow was stuck on 4g instead of lte and I noticed right away..
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Speaking of 4G after carrier unlock I see to only get 4G not LTE
[Galaxy Note5 General] NiquiSE:
I have mine unlocked and I haven't had any changes or issues relating to the battery because of it
[Galaxy Note5 General] tarunscool:
I can attest to this statement.

Kindly confirm the Access Point Names with the ones for the service provider.

If you dont know the names just tell me your service provider, I will send you the link from where you can set it up.

I had this issue after I unlocked with Telus.

I would be on that silver one immediately if they had 64gb avail.

32 GB is honestly a joke in this day on 4k video..you equip the device with the

I phoned Bell and asked about it they said they might be bringing in the 64GB model later on but can't guarantee it xD.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
4k eh? What's the point? You got a 4k tv to view your cellphone quality videos? Come on man.
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Kind of not the point dude.

And any device short of the cheapest budget phone equipped with only 32gb of internal memory these days is an absolute joke let alone the flag ship Samsung device.

Just use the cloud and it's not an issue...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
I do, and it is an issue. The fact that you have to keep deleting stuff regularly after backing up, makes it an issue.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Why not just buy a different phone? Why put yourself through this?
[Galaxy Note5 General] ChrisL777:
Cuz I want everything the Note 5 has, in 64gb+ form.
[Galaxy Note5 General] shollywood:
If you have in cloud, why wouldn't you delete it? My god, 32GB is plenty of space if you use correctly in conjunction with the cloud.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Because I recently posted my usual setup, without any games I might add. That leaves me somewhere between 4 and 8 gb free space. Within a week apps cache can grow to multiple gb's.

Monday I went with the family to Scarborough bluffs. Took pics and videos, before the day was over, I ran out of space. Since in Canada we can't afford to start backing to the cloud on the go, due to limits and data rates, I couldn't really delete any of them till I came home.

Cleared cache and that got me through the rest of the day.

Rinse and repeat.

Whereas in the past I could go for months and selectively delete stuff, now I have to do it regularly. Sometimes daily, sometimes weekly. That makes it a chore and a hassle.

Yeah I could sacrifice something to have more space, and have it on otg, but that is a chore and a hassle in itself, considering how many times I don't have it when I need it.

Again, it's not about wanting to keep stuff that's in the cloud already. It's about how often I have to go through motions of deleting stuff.

Note 5 ?

Your problem is solved. Or you can continue to complain about something you purchased anyway??
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAGr8:
lol wow you guys are awefuly rude with the guy , if 32gb isnt enough for him . it isnt why everyone arguing about it. that little otg it loks cool but id be afraid to damage my usb input .

I personally gonna admit i took for granted their was an sd slot on it, when i realized their wasnt any i amost returned it.. I def shoudl have. I dont wanna have to use the cloud for my music , I shoudlnt need to stream i have everythging here sitting in my sd and on my network. so now i have plenty of rom , free but not enough for my music .
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
I didn't buy the note 5 yes because of this, they really should offer a 128gb version. I honestly can't understand why they wouldn't?

Sent from my Nexus 6 or Note 4
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
If you have been a part of this thread, and you have, you do know I don't keep repeating this incessantly or moaning about it (wrote about it precisely one time in the past), as well as what I plan to do about it.

I only responded to the member claiming that cloud is a solution to all problems. You decide to join with the same claim. When I responded to you as well, your rebuttal is an otg dongle (which I already have and wrote about in last post you quoted). ?

So basically you see cloud is not a solution for all ails.

It's simple. Don't claim that there's no issues and I'll stop posting that there are.

Btw, from our past correspondence I see no reason why you should be replying to my posts anyways

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jmitr:
[MENTION=1128243]shollywood[/MENTION] and others,

The issue is there is a 64gb variant of the Note 5, just not available in Canada. If you want the edge + the 64gb variant is only available on Bell.

Apple offers the IPhone in 3 storage variations, Samsung did with the S6 and S6 edge. People like myself expected to see that trend continue with the Note series, it didn't.

I use the cloud extensively, but I also need local storage. I am an airline Pilot, I can't use the cloud half the time due to poor hotel WiFi, not in my own country and not wanting to pay half my paycheck in roaming fees, etc etc.

Everyone has different needs, quit slamming other peoples usage patterns because they are not the same as yours. Apple is about a walled, controlled garden. Android is supposedly about choice yet no one offers the storage options that Apple does.

If Samsung released the 64gb variant in all markets (and all colours while they are at it) or made 32/64/128 options standard for all phones without SD cards then we wouldn't have to have this futile discussion. Be mad at Samsung, not each other.

For the record, I do not have the Note 5. I am waiting for the Nexus 6p availability (128gb variant) and hoping Samsung releases the 64gb Note 5 in silver in the mean time.
[Galaxy Note5 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
You bought an $800 phone and didn't know that it didn't have a SD card slot? It sounds like you needed to do a lot more research before you bought the phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] shollywood:
Exactly my point. Why buy a phone to only complain about it. This isnt their first device. If you know 32GB isnt enough storage, then why buy it? It makes absolutely ZERO sense. Their are plenty of ways to buy an unlocked 64GB device.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jmitr:
And one of those ways should be to walk into a Telus, Bell, or Rogers store and purchase it.

Samsung's decision is stupid. I do agree with one thing though, don't buy the phone. I didn't. Don't like a manufacturer's decision? Vote with your wallet.

I didn't look at the standard S6 due to battery concerns (and I wanted a phablet next), if Samsung released the 64gb version in silver (or better yet, a 128gb like the S6) it would have been a day one purchase for me.

For those that work in an office setting, or near a desk, ina building with good WiFi, awesome the Note 5 with 32gb is a great phone for you. For the rest of us, it's not.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaboose666:
Well here is how much I have left on my 64GB from AT&T in the US. I have all my apps downloaded, but nothing else yet.

if I remember correctly before my apps it was ~52GB
[Galaxy Note5 General] iniquity0411:
Wow that means the os itself is close to 10gb. So on a 32gb model you really have like 18gb of storage
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaboose666:
I think it's much closer to 22GB+ than it is 18GB, I have 9GB of apps installed, without those i'd be at 53GB+ free. If the OS is just over 10GB then 32-10= 22GB not 18GB.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
I'm really mad at this too. I wanted 64gb. Makes me want to jump ship to 64gb edge plus just for the memory.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rc0310:
For those of you interested in purchasing the 64GB Note 5..

Where are you planning on purchasing from? ebay? go down to the states to buy one?

any one know any reputable unlocked online stores to buy the Note 5 in 64GB?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gpooba:
I have told there should be 64gb at launch .... Crosses fingers !
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deliximus:
MobileDNA in Richmond is a really good store in getting unlocked international phones and Bell plans. Great customer service too. Give them a shot. I think I am going to have to find a Note 5 64gb White from the US or international.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
I'm debating grabbing a dual SIM model off eBay - but with current exchange rates, too expensive... :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] aezv:
Don't know what's going on with Samsung, they took off the micro sd slot, removable battery, now don't even give us choice on color and size of storage. Probably time to go back to Apple, at least I still have choices on color and size which is a sad move for me!!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaboose666:
I dont get this mentality, mSD and removable battery are so important to you that you aren't going to get a Note5, but you're willing to move to an iphone... So you don't ACTUALLY need mSD OR a removable battery in the first place. Lol wtf, if you can't do without them like you claim, you will be getting another android phone (LG G4, Nexus, etc). Sounds like you're just here to promote apple.
[Galaxy Note5 General] johentie:
I was pretty stoked for the note 5... i got the S6 Edge Gold 64GB to hold me over till the Note 5.. i really miss my Note 4 but those chamfered edges were horrible in scratching.

I was stoke last week when the note 5 was announced! I am probably the few people that don't mind the no SD card slot and Non Removable battery... would it be nice to have? yes! but without them i am doing just fine on my S6Edge..

So come articles from Mobilesyrup about availability... cool... then i only see Black! then only 32GB of storage... this is where i am for the first time since the Note 1 not getting a Note device!

how the HECK can you just release 1 out of 4 colours you announce as a flagship when the last device you released came in 3 out of 4?

how the HECK do you get rid of expandable memory and only give the option to buy a 32 GB device? i know Apple had the 8/16GB for a long time but at least their users got used to it!

So what's the next big thing? Nexus? LG G4 pro? oh wait we might not get it in Canada.... Moto Pure Edition? oh wait we might not get it here in Canada....hahaha but i guess we can always brag about our peace keeping and free health care... oh wait we get screwed by taxes ....

i dunno anymore my S6Edge is depreciating rapidly and no other device to jump to...

[Galaxy Note5 General] iniquity0411:
Anyone know where to buy it in toronto or markham?
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaganmohal:
I agree with you. I will stick with my note 4 and planning to get Moto X pure from states once it is launched.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deliximus:
People need to realize that Samsung got actual stock into consumer hands within ONE week of launch, that is almost unheard of. Other colors and sizes are coming to Canada. Look at our neighbours down south, white and black, 32/64gb are available. Give it a bit of time.
[Galaxy Note5 General] phil.W:
I dumped my white 64gb s6, for a note 5 32gb model today. Though it seems odd that the only model carried by rogers and mts here is the 32gb and they don't predict getting any larger sized storage devices considering its for a power user
[Galaxy Note5 General] NiquiSE:
I know the pain. I mean I just dumped my White S6 Edge for the Note 5 and it was well worth it..I've been so accustomed to using Cloud storage now that it wasn't a huge issue to me...but man I wish Canada was getting other colors besides just "Black"..but it was still worth the change to me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] oxxshadow:
Anyone with our Canadian version. cam you please confirm if the NOTE 5 still has the RAM management issues? Some users claim they do not, but others claim they do. Its currently bothering me and is holding me back from getting one. Are apps reloading in the multitasking switcher?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
If you're with Rogers, are you getting VoLTE, like they do in states? Does your icon drop to 4g, h+, or whatever, or does it stay on lte during call?

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] NiquiSE:
I'm with TELUS, So I'm unable to speak for Rogers and if they have VoLTE however I was quite certain they did, someone whom is with them please do chime in and confirm for us. I'll let you know tomorrow if TELUS does. I forgot my phone at work due to being in a rush and I can't check at the moment. But expect a reply from me tomorrow evening in regards to TELUS and VoLTE, unless again someone wants to chime in before I get to testing it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrnovanova:
I went from a 64gb s6 edge to the 32gb note5 thankfully I have a 14gb data plan that helps a lot. I decided not to root the device because roms and nandroid backups take so much space. I have about 8 to 10gb available at any given time. I also have very few games. I did sacrifice a few things but this phone is so worth it.

As per the 64gb version availability I think it's due to samsung having cold feet after the s6/s6 edge debacle. Guess the didn't want to churn out to many devices so the key the highest storage devices for the US.
[Galaxy Note5 General] samteeee:
Greetings;

I was wondering if someone might help me with my question!

I'm deciding whether to go for a 32Gb Canadian Variant or

go for the 64Gb International Version. Then I remembered back

when Note 3 came out, the Canadian Variant was the only unit

that "Rooting" wouldn't trip the Knox. Would this fact applies to

the Canadian Note 5? And if not would the International version

be a good choice for Canada?

Thank you for looking.
[Galaxy Note5 General] shollywood:
rooting trips Knox, any version.
[Galaxy Note5 General] SkimGuy:
Did anyone notice the "Stress tracker" is misisng from S health on the Canadian version of the Note 5? Has anyone found a way to get this feature on S health?
[Galaxy Note5 General] samteeee:
Thank you for your reply.

So buying a Canadian variant won't give me any advantage, right?

I mean the size and color just not for me!

Has anyone here from Canada bought an international version? And

if yes, are you happy? Thank you.

Hello Guys, quick question how is your battery life after the 5.1.1 update, my battery is draining quicker as compared to when I was on 5.0.1. Any way to downgrade ? Will Samsung downgrade it for me ? Any guides ?

Oh okay, I don't know what's causing my battery to drain so fast.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @Class:
The only real disadvantage to getting the SM-N920I is that you don't get LTE-A with Carrier Aggregation. You're limited to a single LTE band at a time. Most LTE bands are compatible that are used in Canada being 2, 4, 7, 12, 17 etc.

Other than that, no real downside. If you're on the SM-N9200 or SM-N9208 you also loose the ability to *#2263# and change you bands :(.

Phone return policy....

Hey guys, major networks in Canada have 14 day return policy with 30 min airtime, 50 sms and 50 mb data. Does anyone know how they check the usage. I bought note 5 but replaced the sim on day one with my other number. So I haven't used any thing on new numbet/sim card.

So my phone use counts or my sim use?

Anyone get their note 5 unlocked from wind? I purchased it and can't unlock it yet..... Cellunlocker taking forever.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
They track usage on the sim the phone was registered to when bought.

They can still track the imei usage on their network including their subs, but mostly they don't. To be safe you should use it unlocked on different network.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] AndyCr15:
Really? How would they track usage going through a different network?

Hi everyone. I'd like to know how to root our Canadian note . I saw guides but its pretty confusing. Which version of recovery manager to use and flash into odin. Back then with the note 2 root toolkit Which was pretty straight forward to use...

Thanks in advance !

[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
[MENTION=4475813]Balbaroth[/MENTION] Not going to handhold and look for files for you, but the theory is easy.

Either download files needed beforehand on the phone or on usb otg.

Enable developer settings on the phone.

In dev settings check bootloader unlocking and usb debugging.

Flash Twrp for our device.

Once in twrp it will ask you to mount the system as writeable. DON'T.

Press home, and do a full backup (efs, modem....) .

Now that you're safe flash either arter kernel, or patched stock kernel).

In the same session, flash latest supersu beta zip (I believe 2.50, allthough lone apk goes to 2.52).

Reboot to system.

Never uncheck the bootloader unlock in dev settings again.

Knox warranty tripped.

That's as straight forward as I can make it.

If still confused and don't mind a drive to Brampton, I'll do it for you. Or give to someone you know, that has done it.

Note 5 ?

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 AM ----------

[MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] Finally got myself 64GB T-Mobile version.

Rooted, unlocked, moved my Canadian w8 backup to new twrp folder. Restored my system and data.

Success.

Now, got myself a Canadian 64gb note5, with VoLTE working (tested).

My active CSC is still combination of TMO/FMC, because I couldn't be bothered to do a change csc and restore again. Maybe will in the future, if I come across issues,but so far none I couldn't solve with few clicks (and those are related to missing data links on SD card, which is understandable, since I restored on clean phone).

Note 5 ?

Nice!

Im debating a N920i silver titanium or a nexus 6p 128gb...really nice to have the extra storage and front facing speakers. I will wait until LG unveils the G4 pro, if its not what i expect than one of the other 2.

Im due for a new device for sure regardless lol.

History of lg shows that you'll be importing it from Europe as the rest is locked tight and not worth it.

As for the other choices, 'different strokes'.

I myself choose note for, well , being a note, and screen brightness, as well as being most pocketable 5.7 phone. Reason to go with TMO, because I was 99% percent sure about making it work for Canadian side, being fan of stock odexed with Canadian features + xposed. Very glad that belief turned out right.

As for you, knowing you believe even 7 inch screen is not too big ?, therefore pocketability not an issue, and your history on xda, probably nexus being a better fit, since you already resisted urge to get note5 so far. Speakers are nice for sure.

Or both. ?
