I just got mine. Same Silver 64GB for $680 new. Love it with my Gear VR! Contemplating root.....
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Root it. You won't be disappointed. Very easy and quick
[Galaxy Note5 General] Blue1k:
What method did you root with?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Just flash kernel

[Galaxy Note5 General] Blue1k:
Sweet thanks. Usual root. Ok!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Just picked up quick charge wireless charger from best buy for $39 bucks. Down from usual price of $69.

Note: their scan still shows $69 price, and sale price is displayed only in samsung experience section, and not in mobile one. So take picture before going to cashier, or expect to wait while they check.

I just got into rooting and managed to get two that work fine for the restricted W8 models we get.

ROM: http://xdaforums.com/note5/development/oj4-e-n-o-m-n-o-t-e-t3266849

It's a little strange to me how most of the modding support comes from T-Mobile builds, but I'm at least happy we aren't completely excluded from it all.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Good find! I got one included from some guy on Kijiji who didn't know they retailed for $80. I was pretty happy when he included it.

I find quick charge for wireless chargers kinda silly because don't we all charge our phones overnight wirelessly without a rush?
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
True, but I love the fact that I can place my phone on the charger when I get home and by the time I'm ready to go out an hour later my phone has already charged up 40 or 50% battery! Super useful for me!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
You seem amazingly lucky on kijiji. I usually price my devices 50 bucks lower than the average, for quick sale, and manage to sell them fast for hundreds more than what you buy them at.

Regarding quick charge from best buy, it seems it was a misprint. After posting, went back to the same best buy and got couple more for presents. They tried to weasel out by saying it was just a misplaced stock, put in place of old ones that did not include quick charge. I took a picture of the price tag and proved to them that it was a fresh print date 18/12/2015.

They decided to honour my purchase, thanked me for letting them know, and ripped the price tags from hangers.

As for charging overnight, I never do that. While watching TV I sometimes plug it in beside couch, so it's pretty full before bed. Or plug it in while driving home, so it's almost full by the time I get there (so I can skip the couch routine).

In the mornings I got enough juice, then on my way to work, by the time I get there, I top it up on quick charge car adapter to last me rest of the day.

So yeah I charge twice a day on average, battery usually oscillating between 40 and 100 percent. Except recently while testing systemless root and stock kernel patched. Tima never let my phone go to deep sleep, so after few weeks of desperately trying to solve it, went back to arter kernel and 2.52 system root.

My first experience with wireless chargers. Other than my toothbrush. ?

[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
In case anybody was looking at getting a wireless charger, Best Buy have the Fast Charger on sale for $39.99 during the Boxing Day sale (page 23/24 of the flyer I linked). I don't even need one and I'm thinking of pick one up!

http://flyer.bestbuy.ca/flyers/best...1#!/flyers/bestbuy-weekly?flyer_run_id=101971
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Ok, now it makes sense. They just jumped the gun a little earlier and posted price before actual boxing day.

[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yup! Once I read your post about your Fast Charger purchase, I had a feeling they jumped the gun haha. They Boxing Day flyer came out yesterday as well! Can't be a coincidence ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Now that the App Optimisation update has been out for a couple of weeks, has anybody noticed an improvement in battery life? I haven't really noticed a huge difference, I'm crawling down to 15% after 16 hours and less than 2 hours of screen on time. I'm noticing that Android System is usually my top battery hog. Has anybody else noticed this? I might do a factory reset to start fresh with the new update.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
Mine has improved, particularly when sleeping - but then I have set all of the available apps for optimization to 'Always Power Saving' unless they are linked to a widget or otherwise always on. Not sure what's up with your battery life, I'm getting about twice that
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Wow.. So you basically left all of your apps to the default "Always Power Saving" and just changed the settings for apps that you want to receive notifications for?

Do you have any apps disabled? I'm kind of hoping to start from scratch with a factory reset and see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
On mine the default wasn't 'Always Power Saving', it was 'Always Optimising', which I believe means it switches to 'Always Power Saving' after three days of inactivity. You have to tap each one to select 'Always Power Saving'. For those apps that are linked to widgets etc I left them at the default setting of 'Always Optimising'.

And no, I haven't done the extreme disabling that some have done, I just watch for apps running in the background that I don't normally use in which case I disable them.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Whoa, so you went through all of your apps and changed the setting to Always Power Saving? Mine as well is automatically set to "Automatically Optimise".

I thought that Automatically Optimise would cause issues with widgets refreshing/sending notifications?

How are you checking for apps running in the background?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
Yes, but there were only about 36 or so - if you have a lot of apps, maybe that's why your battery life is so bad (as many run in the background)? And no, I don't think 'Automatically Optimising' will cause any problems, as again, that only takes action if the app is inactive for three days. 'Always Power Saving' on the other hand might, which is why I did not select that for apps with widgets I use.

To see what's running, go under 'Application Manager', and scroll over to the list of running apps.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Thanks! I'll take a look at my optimising apps and switch them over. I took a look at my running apps, so I'll see if there are any I can disable that I know I won't use. Thanks for the help! :good:
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
Anytime, good luck, and let us know how it works out for you!
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
So I went through my apps and did as you had recommended. Is this what it should look like? For example, I want notifications from snapchat so I left it as automatically optimizing.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jtOttawa:
Yes, exactly - except if you are using that Swiftkey keyboard I would be inclined to leave it as 'Always Optimising'
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Noted. Thanks!!

If your system is usually top, you can confirm with better battery stats app, but I suspect your phone is not sleeping properly, based on those numbers.

If BBS is showing "tima" under partial wakelocks, know that it is your kernel, just like I had issues with mine while testing systemless root.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] tazzysingh1731:
Android system is usually high with stock kernel .try some custom kernels available like skyhigh or arter97 and you could get better wifi on/off free app from play store if you're having drain In idle mode .
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Thanks for the help! I thought BBS was root only though? I want to keep bone stock so that I can use Samsung Pay when it (hopefully) arrives. Does BBS still work without root?

I've taken a look at the better wifi on/off app, but I haven't installed it yet. I'll have to give it a shot!
[Galaxy Note5 General] tazzysingh1731:
You should mate I my phone used to drain 6 to 7 % drain over night last night it was 1% drain overnight so huge improvement
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yeah I've heard nothing but good things about arter97 kernel, but I don't want to root and lose the possibility of Samsung pay! That's why I wanted to try and pinpoint the issue while I'm still running stock.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
In case of no root, "wifi on off" seems the only thing that alleviates high drain for that particular problem (if that is indeed the cause?) on note5.

Other than that you must tediously test apps one by one. Samsung pay will surely make it all worthwhile.

Sorry had to tease a little. ?

For the rest of us, there's BBS. ?

[Galaxy Note5 General] Download7:
I'm curious, has anyone upgraded to OK5 and then flashed a custom rom&kernel? Just wondering if there will be any issues. Or if you know of a rom/kernel based on OK5 that would be awesome....
[Galaxy Note5 General] tazzysingh1731:
Yeah I am on ok5 rooted skyhigh kernel with some tweaks +Dr.ketan L9 rom

There isn't any custom rom based on OK5 yet but tekhd T-mobile and Dr.ketan L9 runs without any issues with great battery and performance
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Haha thanks anyways! I was thinking of maybe performing a factory reset and seeing if maybe it improved. I might do that once the holidays wind down!

How would I know if the wifi idle drain is what I'm actually suffering?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Use the app. If it improves, you'll know.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I tried reading the app description, maybe you can help clarify it for me. When the screen is off, it turns off wifi? So my battery life may improve but my data usage may go up?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Pretty much. Depends on how much syncing you got going on. Plus some apps have the option to sync only on wifi, therefore they don't.

Clean installs are always easiest to troubleshoot ?

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Thanks. I'm thinking of doing a fresh install, see how it goes! I should probably selectively install apps to troubleshoot correctly eh?
[Galaxy Note5 General] RhinoKneel:
I have the bad feeling my late discovery of Bluetooth issues has something to do with the hardware (I got my Note 5 day one from Bell). With the fact I've already done some modding and no Bluetooth issues appear related to the kernel or ROM, I most likely voided my warranty (was paying the $10 a month for coverage)

Anyone have any ideas how Bell is with warranties?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
CF-Autoroot got updated to support latest generation today. Rejoice

Not supporting beta 6 firmwares yet, not that we care, yet. Chainfire is also stuck on 5.1.1 note with 920F model.

Hey would you be able to send the link for that? Where can I go about rooting this thing?

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

If you're with Bell and paying for the warranty with Bell, you can always file a claim saying "you lost your device" you pay a deductible and they will give you a new phone. Bell covers "lost and stolen" with that warranty
[Galaxy Note5 General] RhinoKneel:
Thanks for the advice. I still would like to see if I could trade in first; I still have all the original parts and the phone has no damages, just need to wipe the fingerprint smudging and factory reset.

So am I missing something or did they get rid of the 2 finger pull down menu to see all quick launch icons? I'm on 5.1.1 Note 5 stock W8 Bell ROM...This used to work on 5.0 and my Note 3, now if I need to see all icons I need to 1 finger pull then select EDIT, which isn't what I want...since if you long press the icons outside the highlighted area it just moves it around not give you additional options. Someone please tell me how to get the 2 finger pull down working again.

Lol no end of this month for sure . We Canadians aren't that unlucky haha
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
This is a first in Canada, I believe. Just found out that limited number of phones, including note5 (limited sizes and colors) can be purchased unlocked from standalone samsung experience stores. Such as the newly opened in Sherway Gardens, Etobicoke.

S6 is only through providers still.

Edit: Also new info, for me at least. Samsung service centres are different from place to place (servicing subcontracted to different companies). So chances are, if you deal with warranty claim, and you go to one store, if you have issue regarding that still, you'll have to go to that same store you did original repair with. As I found out the hard way.

For example, service centre in experience store I previously mentioned is operated by Ingram, (Engram, not sure of the spelling), and one in Heartland, Mississauga is E-Link. Only thing they have in common is t-shirts.

Because u had to replace the screen under warranty (gear vr killed it), I was in a market for new skin for the back of my phone. Today I noticed that MKBHD DBrand package that features 3 carbon fibre skins (red, black, white), and is usually $20 bucks (10 off), is $14.95.

Hey guys, question to anyone that bought a Telus note 5 ONLINE is it technically unlocked until you put in a sim? Weird thing that happened to me. I bought a note 5 from telus online no contract no sim, now when i got my phone i didn't touch it and bought an unlock code online aswell.

Here's the interesting thing I first set up the phone with NO SIM after that I put in my WIND sim and it auto changed my CSC to wind, wiped itself and made me run through the set up again and now its running on wind's network no trace of any Telus apps. BUT i was N\never asked to put in my unlock code... so my question is did the phone just activated and locked itself to wind?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrnovanova:
So still no one got xposed running on AOK5?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ayatsuri:
That's pretty much what happened for me when I purchased my Note 5 online from Telus then put in my Koodo sim. Didn't bother buying an unlock code and it worked perfectly right out of the box.

Well that kinda sucks, i guess i just wasted $11 US on a telus unlock code but now my phone is Locked to wind...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
You do realise Koodo is Telus? I'm not contradicting the original assumption, just the fact that you might not be the best case to prove it. Just like I can't say my Fido card works in Rogers phone. Of course it does, it always has for Android phones.

Have no clue why you can't seem to install, but it is certain that it is either your setup, procedure, or the phone, as now you have at least 3 confirmations that it does work on our phone.

Are you sure you have proper xposed app running?

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrnovanova:
I do exactly what it says on Wanam's thread. Backup/install app/install xposed/reboot! And I always get this... (see picture)

Could it be because I have the 64gb version? That shouldn't make a difference should it?

All three of us, force, brava and me are on note5 64gb version. Btw works fine on 32gb as well, brava and me can vouch for that.

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

Looks to me you're installing regular arm version of the wanam framework. Instead you should be installing arm64bit version. Surprised you're even booting.

If this is not the case.

Also from your screenshot it could be that you're not using proper xposed app as I mentioned before. This is most likely. Are you sure your Xposed app is 3.0 alpha4? Cause it should be. And my screen definitely looks different combined with wanam 79.0 framework.

Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrnovanova:
Thanks for the feedback. I can assure you that I always use the 64bit version. As for the xposed app I can't say that I'm even familiar with 3.0 alpha 4. Where do I find it?

Xposed does not break volte on Rogers, custom rom might.

Use app called, 'phone info' to launch ims app. Secret codes section. You can troubleshoot in there if you're connecting or not.

No worries. It kind of all came together when I posted my screenshot. I'm sure you would have caught it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mrnovanova:
So I installed xposed tried to make a phone call and it was fine. Then I activated the Wanam module and made a few changes. Now when I make a phone call it hangs up immediately. When I turn off VoLTE it works. That's why I said xposed broke my VoLTE. But even after I deactivate the Wanam module I still can't make VoLTE calls. What exactly am I supposed to look for in the phone info app?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Now that you mention wanam, it is not enough just to disable module. You also have to manually delete feature.xml and it's backup file in order for the phone to read your original others.xml from your csc properly. Reboot is necessary.

Wanam has option to load it's default setup. Use it.

Wanam module is tricky, as some things work, some don't, and some break things. So trial and error till you get it. Keep your nandroids before messing with things is the best advice I can give you. Saves a lot of time.

No need for you to go to ims settings app when you know your culprit.

I personally use only few features from wanam, mostly those regarding hiding samsung stupid popups, like when turning on bluetooth, etc, number of toggles in notifications, and idiotic loud volume warning.

For reboot menu options (mostly cause I don't like to be asked "are you sure" for decisions I make), as well as buttons behaviour, I use gravity.

And for status bar, I use exclusively

Flat style bar indicators.

Then there your crappa links, YouTube ad blocker, and can't miss app settings app. That's all.

Hey,

I noticed in your Signature you own both a Note 5 and 6P. I recently had to return my 2nd 6P due to bending issues ( the issue is real, I didn't intentionally bend it or anything like that). I like the 6P, but I am getting tired of the RMA game. I was thinking of trying the Note 5. How do you like it compared to the 6P?
