I believe this does EXACTLY WHAT YOU asked for:

1. It "Disables" unwanted app.

2. And importantly, it does NOT require to be rooted.

As you know, DISABLING is NOTHING but FREEZING. That's what even Titanium backup does (but only on a rooted device).

I want to tell you that "FORCE CLOSE" will not help you, if you really want to stop an app running in background, because, most "unwanted" apps are architecturally designed to restart, even if you force close them. In fact force closing might even cause a slight extra load on your battery for obvious reasons.

Most advanced users, would either FREEZE (which is also called DISABLE) or remove a bloatware / unwanted app.

I hope this helps.

My spen is not responding immediately, like its responding after 10-15 seconds from removing, its just 2 days old. any idea?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickmathur13:
Many Indian 64 gb versions have this issue.. If you have time, go the Samsung service center, and get it replaced. If you don't have time like me, you can stay with the lag as the spen works fine once it detects and spen in practical purposes isn't used that much
[Galaxy Note5 General] manikumary:
Thanks. Mine is 64gb.

After the recent update the phone app is messed up.

In favorite contacts section, the contacts order changes even when I change it back to how it was after restarting the phone it again changes the order.

And it doesn't store the default number I have to call on from the favorite contact.

Pengate'd'

So i got the note 5 yesterday and my wife by mistake inserted the Spen upside down into the cradle.

I panicked and yanked it out. The S-Pen detection is not working. What I did was insert it once more upside down and slowly took it back. And guess what the sensor started working!!!!!!!

But I notice now, after 12 hours of all those fiasco, that the sensor is not working consistently. i works at times and wont work most of the times.

What is the fix.

I am scared to take it to the Service centre as they will keep the device for weeks and then charge a bomb for just a small lever on the sensor.

Please suggest a way out. Any good repair guyy in Bangalore that anyone can suggest?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
You are right Samsung policy is stupid....
[Galaxy Note5 General] aukhan:
Dont go to local repair shops, Directly call the samsung support and inform that it was DOA since its just 1 day old they will replace the device, Dont tell this was an accident by your wife. Or walkin to Basvangudi Samsung care and give it to them they will fix but this may take time, I suggest to talk to samsung support and get a replacement.

You can root SM-920G by flashing Philz CWM recovery using ODIN v3 and flash arter97 kernel-n920cig - 9.4 zip file from recovery. The detailed procedure is given by Dr. Ketan in the his thread "How to Root Note 5".

Hi Ketan,

I tried the same method you have posted earlier (using Philz recovery and ODIN) and now Samsung logo keeps repeating after flash and reboot. Any suggestions to get out of this mess? Can i try using TWRP and flash again?

Thanks

"No OS installed, Are you sure you wish to reboot"? I must have messed up the stock ROM?? :'( i dont have any custom ROMs/ Kernels copied yet to the storage as well.. so am i screwed or is there a way to still copy the ROMs to the phone and recover it? Please help. This is a brand new phone :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] bala_gamer:
Downlaod the stock rom from sammobile and flash it via odin. Your phone will be restored back to normal.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Are you sure you have not selected any system wipe option? If you can manage for OTG then flash custom ROM from OTG otherwise as above said by [MENTION=3877923]bala_gamer[/MENTION] flash stock ROM using odin.

Hi everyone, I need your help. I'm in Dubai now and planning to upgrade to Note 5 64gb from my screen shattered note 3. I've been reading from the first page of this thread and could reach only till the 38th page as of now. Can anyone suggest me whether the N20C works flawlessly with the Indian 4G LTE bands. I couldn't reach to a solid confirmation till the page I've read. However I have read from Dr Ketan's post that he got an N920i from here. So will try to get that if that's easily available. And how can you know which variant it is. Is that mentioned on the box or can you get that detail by scanning the barcode or something. However I would really appreciate if anyone could help.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pwned101:
I'm currently using the N920i variant on Airtel (in Bangalore) and I can confirm that 4G works flawlessly. I'm not 100% sure about the N920c variant though. However from what I've been able to understand from the Internet, N920c too supports 4G band 40. As far as the 2G and 3G bands are concerned, you won't have any problems with either variant.

And regarding your second question, its clearly mentioned on the box which variant it is (Back lower right corner).Hope this helps.

i reboot the phone atleast twice a day. I felt when i got the phone new, the battery was amazing.. even after playing heavy games, the battery level wont drop much.. after couple of months i saw this difference.. Not sure if its because i have rooted, tried custom ROM (again back to stock), XPosed framework, etc.. Is it possible that i screwed up the battery?
[Galaxy Note5 General] my969:
Definitely not, your battery is hardly 3 months old. It must be done app that's not playing nice.

If you are still rooted, Look for the "Better battery stats" thread.

You can download that app for free from that thread on xda, maybe it will help you locate the cause of the battery drain.

[Galaxy Note5 General] dr.ketan:
Rooting / Flashing custom rom can't screw up battery but it's common issue on Samsung latest base that once you root device and return to stock (with tripped knox) device may cause fail to deep sleep and that can drain lots of juice.

To confirm this install battery monitor app and see if it records deep sleep. Likely won't. Solution is to root device and flash deep sleep fix. (look my thread in general how to root for fix) alternatively you can use kernel which have this fix already applied.

Also is there any other thing that I can do to get more of my note 5

Glad that we have Dr. Ketan Here have been a fan of ur work since Note 2 days
