Sorry, but this is pure fanboi reasoning for pitching a Note 5. Whatever "improvements" do exist in this new model hardly justify the hefty price tag of an upgrade. If you are to get realistic about it, this is minor stuff that will hardly change the way you use your phone or enhance productivity. Really, sell your Note 4 and shell out an additional $400 or more for a marginal improvement in speed or a slightly brighter screen? You must be kidding! There arguments are as worthwhile as those spouted by people here that consider their phone a piece of jewelry and need to upgrade based on a perceived enhancement in the appearance of their device. Geez, I imagine people walking down the street dangling their Note 5 over their head saying 'look at me, look at me'.

And these arguments about battery life seem to consistently miss the point, which is more about planned obsolescence by the manufacturer's and not how much time in a day you will get before you need to charge a battery. Lithium batteries are only made to have so many cycles to their life -- generally between 300 and 500 depending on make and quality. After a year or so a battery will no longer hold a charge in the way it did when brand new. Two years down the pike and that battery may not hold a charge at all. Why should people have to replace a phone just over a battery that they used to be able to swap out for little more than a few bucks? Certainly those who decide to have the manufacturer replace the battery will be confronted with a choice of paying 100 dollars to replace that battery, at which point they throw their hands up in the air and just buy a new phone ----- which is just what the Samsung's and Apple's of the world want you to be doing! And please, make no mistake about it -- at a time when increasing numbers of people are going off-contract and have to bring their own phone to a carrier, this planned obsolescence is surely an issue. And the dropping of SD cards is no better for the consumer as you wind up paying infinitely more for the storage space than you would were you to pick up an inexpensive SD card. Yet another win for the manufacturer's, and a loss for the consumer.

These are just games by the phone-makers, and the only reason they are getting away with it are the fanboi's, who will sing praise over any minimal changes to a new device, and like a teenager lusting for their new Iphone just have to have the latest device released as soon as possible. All you accomplish is to give the manufacturer's carte blanche to screw the consumer again and again and again.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Rippley05:
Ok. You're right. We're all silly because we don't care about sd cards. I'm sorry...run along now fella.

---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

Umm, what? Lol

Edit** both of you keyboard Rambos can check my post history. I've been really negative over Samsung happenings over the years. There's reason to be disappointed over your precious SD card , but you guys act like they owe you something. They don't. Get over it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] JasonJoel:
Whine Whine Whine...

If you want the phone, buy the phone. If you don't, then don't.

See how simple that was?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Qwallace70129:
Run along now fella? In light of being logical and somewhat respectful I'll refrain from typing my original response.

I had a response halfway typed to the rest of it. But then I noticed you did a "huh,what?" in reference to the comment below my own. Right there I see you aren't able to be a critical thinker. That post was the exact reason why the majority of true note fans don't want to buy the note 5.

You should get an iphone. You are their prime market demographic.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rushless:
Jeepers. If you do not care about the storage or battery (and get a cushy case), the Note 5 seems great. If you do care, the Note 5 is not going to magically gain the features, so no point of us harping now. Media hounds like me will cross our fingers and hope the Moto X Pure has somehow offset the LCD tech to not have a battery drainer of a phone. Not too confident though....

In an alternate universe, I can hope the Note 5 sells poorly and Samsung adds the sd slot in a refresh in about six months :) Of course it will not happen, but IS an alternate universe!
[Galaxy Note5 General] tee00max:
I personally do not think that the Note 5 is a step backwards. If you are Samsung, im sorry but you have to get with times of the new devices. People want a premium feeling device, at least I know if do especially if im paying full retail for these devices. SD cards and removable batteries are becoming old news, Yes I am sure they are some power users that still needs that functionality but we all know most people who whine about having a removable battery never carried an extra one in their pocket. With some many streaming services and cloud storage its the way to do and Samsung needed to mature into that market and i think they hit it on the head with this device. I would rather have faster internal storage than having a sd card that has the potential of failing on you like some of my recent ones have. Google photos for pics, Spotify for streaming music, and Google Drive for files and I am good to go.

As for the IR blaster, I hate they got rid of that and in that case I do see that as going backwards but other than that, it was a safe expectable device from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Mrbababo:
For a new Note user i think the device is great.

Was initially considering the note 4 however the pricing the Telcos are offering are not attractive enough.

Micro SD card slot wasnt a must for me as afew of my previous 32gb ones just broke down suddenly, all data lost.

As for the removable battery being removed, if i get a phone with removable battery i would not want to put a case on it as it will add an additional step to changing of the battery, so phones like the Xiaomi Note 3/4g works great! As for the note 5, you will surely want to have a propercase on it 24/7 incase it slips off your hand.

It really feels better but also in many ways more toward the fragile side due to the glass back and front.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Rippley05:
Ohhh the iPhone insult. How original.

What makes you a "true fan"? You and your buddy creating walls of text filled with emo nerd rage does not qualify as a logical response. If you guys can't see the upgrades, then you obviously have no idea what you're looking at.

Keep the Note 4, it's ok to do that. All the nerd rage from the "true fans" won't change the direction Samsung and Google are going.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Qwallace70129:
If I ever felt like insulting someone I would do it. And it wouldn't be so clean. "Emo nerd rage". Lmao. You just proved my point. But anyway. If you see them as upgrades then that's fine. But for those of us looking at a bigger picture, our views can't be fathomed by your type. I've seen the phone. Played with it the day after it was announced. It's decent. It's not worth 800+ dollars. It's not premium aside from the grade of aluminum they chose to use. If you wanna be a "oooooo, new and shiny" type of customer then that's cool. That's your right. But you can't speak on power user topics because you aren't a power user. So stay out of the thread if you don't like what's being said.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Rippley05:
Since you want to play smart it's "you're right".

What in the world do you want in a phone? The Note 5 isn't premium? Then nothing out there is. What processor is better? What camera? More ram? What screen? What phone is better?

Try to belittle us with your "oooooo shiny" remarks then make such ignorant statements. I get now why you're upset, you aren't smart enough to undertsand. It isn't premium because you played with a display for a little bit?......Oooooookay. Such a detailed analysis.
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Guys do us all a favour and take your argument to PM please? This kind of silliness is what gets threads closed.

Your both vets around here, your better than this.

Thanks.

You're *
[Galaxy Note5 General] Qwallace70129:
Nope. Other than the 7000 series aluminum the note 5 is trash. But since you asked....my note 5 would be same size chassis as the 5 with a 5.9 inch screen and kill some of that ugly ass top and bottom bezel. It would be 7000 grade aluminum and polycarbonate build. SD card support, 3500mah removable battery. 4gb of ram is useless when Samsung refuses to fix the ram management bug that's plagued touchwiz since the s6 was released (yheres a few threads on that too where people can't run more than 5 apps at a time without the system killing the background apps). And if they weren't trying to rush to market to beat the iPhone6s then they could have put a snapdragon 820 in it which would increase development here. We're mostly on xda for information on how to mod our devices so in my mind I can care less if the exynos can compute 100teraflops a second, if I can't control MY 800dollar device then it's value is decreased. The exynos processors are killing xda. Look at rims for the s6/s6edge. That's what the exynos version note 4 forum looks like. And that's what the note 5 forum will look like. I'm for the community. Not just what's new. New isn't always better if I have to lose function to gain form.

Sorry for the "emo nerd rage wall of text". But this is a forum. You know....where you have to type to get an OPINION out and people read it. That wasn't intended for anyone in particular. It's just annoying to be on a text based forum and people complain about having to read. Xda wasn't like then when I joined to learn how to root my Samsung moment sph-m900. The community was all about making what we had better and it saddens me to see what it's becoming. Ok. I'm done I promise.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Corbitt74:
I agree, I think they made a mistake and will not upgrate to it either. Love the Note 4
[Galaxy Note5 General] oneandroidnut:
Proven lol phone isn't even out yet it's all proven fact haha don't kid yourself kid! & I like how you missed the part where I said my perfect phone the note 4 developer edition isn't available anymore yet you still say it is or are you too ignorant to read the whole post? The note 4 is a significant upgrade? What if you're on the go without a charger on vacation etc etc. I can carry 3 batteries and go from 0-100% in the time it takes to swap my battery. Good luck with no sdcard slot as well. I have zero interest

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

Hit it on the head. Exactly why I'm looking into other phones for my next device
[Galaxy Note5 General] Rippley05:
Well. I'm on Verizon, the Note 4 was never rooted, where the s6 was. That kinda kills the development debate. Although I would love to have development, Samsung plus Verizon is not the combo to have. What phone are you using right now?

To me, you're confusing what you want in a phone with what is an actual upgrade. Just because it isn't how you feel it should be doesn't mean it's "trash". The point here is, it is an upgrade in almost every hardware and software related department over the Note 4. You and your friends seem to constantly ignore that because you're blinded by anger over sd cards and batteries. The tech world doesn't "wait" and see if they can have a better processor, that would have delayed the release beyond their normal September/October dates.

I've already said I agree on the sd card, I don't personally care, but I wish they could have worked it in. Other than that, the phone is a big improvement. It's faster, brighter, has a better camera, better processor, better software, better fingerprint scanner, better spen, better build quality. It's what the definition of an upgrade is. Had it came with sd card support and a removable battery, you wouldn't then call the rest of its features trash. You're only doing so now out of spite.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hahajoker:
I'll be picking up the Note 5 tomorrow and I'm coming from a Nexus 6. I didn't want to leave my nexus but service issues at my new house are forcing me to leave T-mobile and in my opinion the best device RIGHT NOW is the Note 5. I'm hoping AT&T coverage is sufficient at my house because I am going to avoid Verizon until there are no other options. They are the Apple of cell carriers in regards to their policies with locking down devices.

I am somewhere in the middle of what Qwallace and Rippley are saying. I think the Note 5 is very much a premium device and the build quality is second to none (other than the glass back, that's just asking for trouble). Touchwiz is not the monstrosity it once was and software absolutely flies in my 30 minute trial with the T-mobile display earlier today. For those upset about the lack of removable battery and no microSD...I feel your pain in regards to the battery. As far as the microSD goes, we all need to get used to this. With cloud storage on the rise, microSD's were bound to be phased out. It's disappointing but not a deal breaker for me as it is for some.

The only glaring negative I see in the phone is the awful RAM management as QWallace mentioned. How Samsung can cram 4GB or RAM into a device and then have software that can't utilize it properly is just embarrassing. Not much else to say there.

With regards to the Exnyos processor, the lack of ROM and dev support is disappointing. However, IMO android has made strides and I personally see less and less need for custom ROMs. Don't get me wrong, I still root my device immediately so I can block ads and remove bloatware, but that's about all I need nowadays. For those that still have the desire and need for more control, I get the frustration with the chipset.

For those with Note 4's or Nexus 6's, I probably wouldn't waste the money. For most others I would say this is the best performing device on the market and it's well worth the upgrade (this is just my opinion after using the device in the store).
[Galaxy Note5 General] oneandroidnut:
Let us know how bad the battery is! LOL

As far your other points. The cloud is there yes but i have roughly 10,000 photos on my 128 gb sdcard, plus roms and mods etc. 50 gb or so are used. How is that going to work on a cloud when I do not have wifi or good 4G signal? Can't flash a rom from the cloud either lol

Also I agree the RAM management is atrocious on android. I mean the iPhone 6/6+ runs smooth on a dual core chipset with a 1 GB of DDR3 ram yet android needs 3 and 4 gb??? This is to what i made a point about earlier android lacks so far behind in code!! That is uncalled for! What makes it even funnier is the iphone uses a 2900 mah battery yet the power hungry 8 core chip and 4 gb of ram only gets a 3000 mah? Makes no sense to me. I will tell you this as much as I hate Apple I may hate Samsung just as much now. If Apple makes an iphone with 5.7" or larger screen and sdcard slot and removable battery I will buy one and I am NOT KIDDING!

My biggest issue lies with Samsung poking fun of Apple for years then follows in their footsteps. That is what has me at a loss and why i am will be leaving soon hopefully to the moto x.

Also Note 5 Active with a 4,100 mah battery is rumored, but why? if you all say the 3,000 mah battery is "proven" HAHA and also maybe my biggest question is why would anybody buy the note 5 or s6 edge plus over an iphone 6/6+?? the iphone is proven and has a great track record and the same price with same features for the most part. I am just done with sammy
[Galaxy Note5 General] hahajoker:
Early reports say the note 5 has excellent battery life. Who knows how well the battery will hold up.

As for why anyone would get the note 5 over the iphone...well there's about a million reasons. IOS is a simple UI for people that can;'t/don't want to do as much with their device. It's also very limited in terms of customization...but these are all things you know already I'm assuming. But how can you say it has the same features? Wireless charging? nope. Stylus? nope. Fast charging? nope. Superior camera? nope. Superior screen? nope. I could keep going.

I don't want this to turn into an android vs IOS debate. There are a million of those floating around. But to say picking an iphone over the note 5 is a no brainer? We'll that's just stupid.
[Galaxy Note5 General] JasonJoel:
So go buy an iPhone, or a different android phone, whatever. Just stop thread crapping.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tripledes:
I hope someone could give me some advice about a problem I'm having lately...

My device is working properly when windows mobile is booted, so activesync is working, charging is also working...the device seems to not have any problem at all.

Then when I try to to flash it with any newer ROM, I switch to bootloader then the device is not recognized by Windows XP...so no joy for me :( I tried with other computers without any luck.

Any idea?? maybe other ways to reflash??

Cheers.
[Nokia N1] JimOSU:
Hello Everyone,

I have just put together my dream team of the Pixel and an N1 and I was wondering if it is safe to use the Pixel's USB-C charger for the Nokia N1 since they both use USB-C or if I'm asking for trouble attempting that. Just curious if I can carry one less charger around with me now.

The N1 looks to have come with a fairly standard charger setup of 5V at 2A

The Pixel charger looks to smartly do 5V/12V/20V at 3A.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Well prior to the new update, my Hotspot worked fine, now it no longer shows on devices or if it does it's a painful time to get it to connect and if it happens to connect, it doesn't work anymore. Anyone run into this or know of any solutions?

Who is you carrier? Is tethering in your plan? Have you tried adding this line to your build prop? net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Add that line to the end, save and reboot. Works well with vzw
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cam30era:
Yup, you're right. I just checked. FWIW, AT&T with a family share plan which includes tethering. Unrooted 48I.

I did check USB tethering, and that does work.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A2CKilla:
Already been doing that since 5.0 with sql edits and all, this update broke it along with a few Bluetooth issues. Now I have sprint and it's weird, when I'm on b25 or b26 it works fine, but when I'm on b41,thats when it breaks

Hmmm, well at least that works, but it's just weird this update broke it, hopefully someone will have some insight or the next update will fix it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A2CKilla:
Just gonna give this a healthy bump, just to see if anyone has figured anything out, I've tried everything from erasing the tether add-ons to re-adding them but I still get nothing when it comes to b41 but b25 and 26 work okay.

[HTC One Mini 2] sk8erteo1997:
Hi,everyone!

Currently I am using the NostromoPop rom on my One Mini 2,along with DSLR camera for taking photos and Cinema FV-5 for video recording. Now,I know the phone is limited by its internal capabilities when it comes to the resolution and framerate it can shoot a video at,but I know for a fact that sometimes you can get more from a camera that the developer intended (I have used a Huawei G510 before,horrible phone but with a lot more roms to choose from,and one of them allowed 720p recording,which wasn't possible on any other rom,including the stock one).

What I'm asking : Is there a camera app(perhaps combined with a kernel or tweak of files) to allow 1080p 60fps video recording on the HTC One Mini 2?
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
Not sure what you asking since HTC One Mini 2 already records at 1080.

Camera

Main Camera: 13MP, BSI sensor, f/2.2, 1080p video recording

Front Camera: 5MP, BSI sensor, 1080p video recording
[HTC One Mini 2] sk8erteo1997:
Ummm...not trying to be mean or anything,but you should learn to read better before voicing an opinion,not just between the lines. What I asked was if it was possible to shoot at 1080p 60fps on the One Mini 2.

Have a nice day!
[HTC One Mini 2] GuestK00204:
you right...

it records 1080p at 30fps

and 720p at 60fps
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
This has been on my list of things to fix. I use samba file sharing by funkyfresh on both my aftvs. Both are on 5ghz since the app won't start on boot unless your on WiFi. Since my WiFi speeds are pretty fast I don't lose a lot but would rather use Ethernet when possible.

Android Ethernet connections aren't common but wondering if any smb apps now include this? Btw--funkyfresh works great it just won't autostart on boot.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLit75:
I'm back on Ethernet and it appears the app just won't start on boot. Looking into it a little...would an xposed mod like boot manager work? I know that's what its supposed to do but I'm betting better than 99% of android apps are meant for WiFi or 4g so I'm not sure this would fix it...any suggestions are welcomed.

Edit--nope. Boot manager only stops apps from starting on boot.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsktsk:
Hi,

I'm going crazy trying to root my new S5.

First thing I tried was CF-autoroot for SM-G900F kltedx. When the phone rebooted into recovery mode, there was samsung logo with a warning "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". It prevented any further action (including opening recovery menus). Everytime I tried to reboot, the phone displayed the same warning, making impossible to correctly boot the device.

I retook control of the phone by flashing the philz recovery. The phone rebooted normally, but without root (and without accessible recovery!).

Then I tried cwm, philz, twrp but none of them worked (same seandroid warning). Only stock recovery correctly flashes and boots.

What is the problem? I'm quite desperate at the moment :(:(

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HMpenguinify:
Can anyone explain to me why Samsung are concerned more over the charging part of the phone than the battery itself?

It's all good and well to be able to charge the phone super quick, but if I'm just going to be stuck to a cord/wireless charger all the time I may as well just use my laptop - the whole point of a battery is to get away from the plug, isn't it?

3000 mAh for a 5.7 QHD display also sounds pretty weak to me

I've never had a Samsung phone before, but Samsung Pay with its use-virtually-anywhere system sounds really interesting, but I really don't want a weak battery coming from a Nexus 4

Thoughts?
