One should register in MSR using the same sim which was used for prebooking. Try dowloading My Samsung Reward points app on your mobile and login. You will get the code depending on your eligibility in the app.

Ok so a week of jealousy looking at the wife's 64GB, i finally bit the bullet and went to buy the 64GB here in malad... No stock anywhere except reliance digital but they're selling almost at full price and won't do buyback (wanted to sell my S6 64GB)... eZone also had stock but instead of discount wanted to tie me into some rewards card where i get 750/- cashback *only* if i spend at future group outlets every month for the next 11 months... Can't see why anyone would fall for that.

Came back empty handed.. Guess i'll just stick with the S6 until the S7 and let the wife be jealous come april :D

/if only the S6 had good battery life. Note 5 users, if any of u moved up from the S6, is the battery life upgrade which looks miniscule on paper really *that* compelling a reason to switch? Can't compare with the wife as she literally uses the phone non-stop for youtube,games and browsing... so the SOT for her is always on par with the standby time more or less.

I'm being quoted 25k as resale for the S6 64GB which is pretty painful in itself... So basically 31k for a slight increase in battery life?

Assuming you've logged into the MSR app, a couple of days or so later, open the app and look on the bottom left pane... Deals For You. Click on it. When you're eligible for the wireless charger, upon clicking the aforesaid mentioned pane, you should see a tab at the top called Note 5 Specials. It's usually the 2nd tab at the top (going by what most users here have experienced) but never hurts to scroll to the right incase you don't see it at position # 2.

Once you click on this tab, at the botton you have a button to generate the code for the free wireless charger. Once you generate, you should get an automated sms, but just note it down to be sure.

Then go to samsungindiaestore, register and buy the charger but at the very end instead of paying enter the code and you get it for free :)

Cheers!!

There is a considerable difference in battery life and yes that is a very low price. I have normally seen galaxy s series price falling down very fast compared to note series.

May be you can exchange your phone with her [emoji12]
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Yeah 25k for a day 1 S6 64GB honestly is pathetic. I have bought all S series flagships on day 1 and when buying the next S on day 1 have got around 16-17. That might break come April 2016.. The S6 might get me just 10 if I'm lucky. Samsung have dropped the price of the S6 down to 41k for the 64GB which is shocking considering it started at 56900/- Not the best way to treat early adopters. :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] kannanX10:
in my place they r selling 64gb gold for 56k(without bargaining as u can even save further 500 or 1000) and actually i feel 25k for 64gb s6 is not good,try various retailers some might quote better valve as i sold my 3 months old s6 32gb for 28.5k by mid sept..........................
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
I asked ezone they quoted 27 but then again i didnt want to fall in their rewards card trap which not only is pointless for me but also the fact that samsung cafe is the only place that's selling it for 56 but they have no stock..

Every place else is around the 25-26 quote...

hey guys yesterday i bought note 5 here at bajaj electronics..they didnt gave any wireless charger..is there anyway to get free wireless charger?
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Hi you must read the last two pages to get the answer :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] whosaysjohn:
dont go to a store to sell your mobile ever...it is better to use olx and wait for a few days for a good buyer...you will surely get a good one...sold me 3.5 month s6 32gb for 32k 3 weeks back.

on a side note - this is what my note5 is covered with slickwraps hero series skin
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Agree with you mate. I have been selling all my phones to local dealers *just* to avoid the hassle of waiting for a buyer and then making time to meet in person and so on.

No doubt selling on olx etc would net a slightly better price, but the low-balling and ditching business (used to sell my games online) was a real pita... I usually just sell to a friend who's a dealer. I lose a little money compared to the above way but atleast it's a enter store-pay difference-walk out with a new phone affair :)

Friends after resisting for long time sold my 3months S6 edge for 37k and bought N5 for 51000 32gb gold reason for selling S6 edge was Incapable battery so for so good.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Was ur s6 edge 32gb?
[Galaxy Note5 General] JSAHITA:
No it was 64 gb gold
[Galaxy Note5 General] ruchirtrehan:
I just went to the store to get the Note 5 in some different colour (currently got the silver) and here in US they just had the black or white as of now so I was satisfied with the black one tho wanted to have a look at gold, when I was almost about to pay I saw the S6 and went to try it and heck, I really liked it :p

So instead of getting the N5 I got myself a S6 now and guess I'll just stick to it instead of the N5, I find S6 better than N5 for myself (just my personal choice people, don't shoot at me! :D) It's been a long time since I had a decently sized Android and gosh, I so love to handle the S6 than my N5, spen is not really something I use frequently, maybe once a month to kinda satisfy myself that I have it, other than that almost no. Having the S7 I feel I just have a smaller sized N5 now since they're the same and maybe now i'll just stick to this until the S7 as my primary device. ;) No regrets, sure battery would suck me out as I've read so much about it, but that's okay! Will live with it, enjoy your S6 man! Nothing much to be jealous about, they're different yet so same! ;)

P.S That's a ridiculous offer! :/ But it's always been that way if you plan to resale a Samsung device. I've always been on the same boat with Sammy and I sometimes do regret getting them at the first day itself, I got my Note 4 for 58K and here I am, cant even sell for 28k while I sold my Note 3 after 1 year for 32.5k LOL! :p Just gave it to a family member rather than facing such a loss on that expensive device! T_T

That looks nice! Guess i'd wana try one of those too! ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
S6 is really a good device if u want smaller but it's software is not as refined as note 5... I have used both and note 5 feels much snappier even after a month of Use.... Apart that s6 is good

U can even look at new nexus 6p but camera wise and build s6 and note 5 is best among all android phones for now
[Galaxy Note5 General] ruchirtrehan:
Thanks for that! I received an update for the s6 as soon as I set it up and after applying at-least the icons, animations and stuff look similar to the Note 5, idk if there will still be a difference in perfomance since the software seems so similar after the update but lets c, haven't used it much as yet but we'll see how it goes in comparison, I will miss CM certainly but apart from that yep, loving it, I had literally forgotten how it feels like to have a pretty compact android lol.

Agreed bro, agreed! These devices look so much better than the iPhone's and HTC's (Keep the Rose Gold Apart! :p) I wont be really considering the Nexus this time around, build looks weirdly awful to me in pics n videos, wth is that black protruding strip of camera :p 7 years of Sammy so far, I'm better sticking to them since they know how to play premium now! ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
Yeah apart from the battery life which again is not smth I see as dramatically better than the S6, there's nothing that sets the Note 5 apart from the S6. I guess it's just stupid jealousy and gadget-lust. I do a S series and an iPhone upgrade yearly. And personally I'm happy I didn't get the 64GB note 5 today. The 6S Plus is just 2 weeks away... And better if I may say at battery life and overall experience. Come April, I'll take the S7 with whatever sammy throws in it. ;)

The resale value I agree with you. Sammy has quite average resale value but compared to other brands in the android world it's still better. It's more of a catch-22 situation for guys like me who sell the outgoing S series for a new one on day 1 every year. The more you wait, even though you might get a discount on the new one, the older one depreciates even badly.

I am having a lot of issues with the phone, it was there since the time i purchased but once a while. Now almost 2-3 a day it either freezes or the whole phone becomes unresponsive for around a minute or so, which is really annoying. Tried clearing cache partition but it didn't help. Will be trying package disabler soon, if that won't help will factory reset the phone.

Better factory reset your device... your doubts will be cleared... i think some app mess up with your device.. i had the same problem on my note 4... after removing some apps and reformatting, the phone went back to nomal

Use ODIN 3.10 from here

1. Flash Custom Recovery via ODIN in AP tab, i used philz touch from here

2. Flash your desired rom, i flashed Dr.Ketan's Rom

3. dont reboot after flashing rom, flash custom kernel, i used arter's from here

[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
New nexus is few months away dude... So if u can wait then u can compare both else get note 5 now... This time Samsung has hit the jackpot with it :)

Even their software is so smooth it not at all hanging so far with all my apps installed I just needed 64gb as I easily fill storage with my hires music and photos

I might as well get the 64gb official indian one once it's available here :) but for now this is one amazing phone whose build quality is much better than iPhone even to say the least

It's really a shame Samsung choosing their stupid edge before this they will regret their decision for sure....

Will u prefer the 920I or C version ...which one will have better custom rom support any idea doc
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
There is no information which version India will get so in this condition I prefer n920c. 920i seems only for aus and Singapore while c launched in many countries so I believe n910c should have more developer. But this is more bothering for users only, whatever model I get, I will try to develop best what I can do.

Hello All,

I seem to have peculiar problem with my Note and S6 Edge. Whenever I travel and put my phone on airplane mode during the flight and undo airplane mode on landing, the phone takes lot of time to connect to the network. I see my fellow passengers latching to network much faster . Is it an issue with my mobile network( airtel in this case) or an issue with my phone? I have to almost always select the network manually. its a matter of 2-3 mins but was wondering if you guys experienced this?

i am using my note 5 64gb which i bought on 25th September. i got a coupon code to order the wireless charger.

since the note 5 has fast wireless charging.. i want to buy a fast wireless charger but Samsung store only had the regular one.. which they claim for all models like s6 edge and so on..

it is so weird that we can't take advantage of free fast wireless charger but Samsung want us to get regular wireless charger which doesn't make any sense... then what is the point in having builtin fast wireless charging support...

i think Samsung screwed the indian market again..

At least the giving some freebie here unlike us etc and they didn't even released note 5 in uk
[Galaxy Note5 General] twisted_mind:
My thoughts are Samsung overestimated sales of the slow wireless chargers and produced wayy too many for their own good. So the next best thing to do is giveaway surplus to Note 5 customers and make it conditional like only preordering and folks buying the phone in the first 20 days of release get the freebie. Makes Samsung look like real generous :D at the same time many people on the fence wrt never having used a note series would be pleasantly surprised at the freebie on offer and take the bait. Note that bait here is not in a negative but more from a sales perspective.

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Also folks who get the slow wireless charger for free are more than likely to be impressed considering the tech isn't exactly commonplace and would want to "buy" the quick charge wireless charger once it's out on retail.

In the states they are giving away the same charges by just registering for Samsung pay.

Now we are trying to see if we can Make Emotroin Kernel for N5. Currently talking to Paf and Placiano, Fingers Crossed !! Will keep you posted.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ruchirtrehan:
I always stick to the Nilkin's ones if I do, find them the best. Currently going naked with both S6 n N5 as they're yet to be delivered, fingerprints are not a bummer but I'm really afraid of scratching the glass even without doing anything, never had a device that dint scratch or scuff might end up getting a crystal clear silicon tpu case, I really like those lol, slick n keeps the look.. One thing I literally hate about both the devices is scuffs, when you put it under a flash or torch in a very dark room you definitely might see one or two at extreme angles, either at back, front or maybe the home button, but that's fine, just a phone at the end of the day specially when I cant spot them until I try to find them in a dark room with a torch or maybe in a sunny day.

Btw congrats on getting the N5, Emotion on this thing would be a treat, and since most of the kernels are cross compatible across Exy 7420, I'll end up enjoying it on both my S6 n N5! :D xD

Still getting the lockscreen freeze, I did factory data reset twice. Still it didn't help. Now don't know what to do. It's not very frequent, once or twice a day. Will continue to use it like that way it is if it still persists for a long time or gets worse will have to take it to Samsung service centre.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:
Yes I got the Nilkin's Screen Protector and a hard back case, Loving the back case, However unsatisfied with Screen Protector, I wanted to check if I could get better once especially Tempered ones, I've used all my devices Naked even my N4 is naked no screen protector nor back cover, As they add an extra bulk and destroy those killer looks. But for N5 it is must even if you drop it on Beach/Sand its Exposed to scratches hairline or major, So its a mandatory to get a back cover as well as a screen protector.

Tried flashing the Philz Recovery by [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] getting a message custom recovery locked by FRP lock any Idea what this is anyone, Sad we dont have the TWRP Yet.
