every time i try to install the URBAN theme on the store it give me this code. any idea why??

Unknown Error accourred .try again later

(-90001/T500011)
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] vicino:
Fist you have to choice another theme and click apply, then go to:

Settings/Themes click at the theme you want to uninstall and you will find Delete button.

Well, Samsung refused my partnership request, twice! lol!

I need to do Hello Kitty style theme :D

Sorry bro, i really don't know what is this error code.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] marcel112:
Hope theme looks real nice.

Will try this for sure when its released
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] AbdoAdel:
i want minions theme :D would be amazing
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] gearcrashdn:
Hello there, I just got a new samsung galaxy S6 and i am totally new to the android OS ( previously only using Apple products). I would like to ask how do you guys make your own themes? I mean besides downloading it from the theme store which is very limited. Sorry for sounding like a total noob here. Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] shooterlgk:
Would any of ur themes work with the note 5?..tmobile
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] unomedmen1:
Are you really going to ask or post this in every thread? Seriously
[Galaxy Note5 General] eousphoros:
Picked this phone up today despite the complaints. The first thing I noticed is the sound. The included head phones sound pretty good, but on my bose head set it feels like my face is melting. I don't know what they changed between the S6 and the note 5 yet but holy cow. Keep giving it to me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] svengalis:
So it sounds better?
[Galaxy Note5 General] eousphoros:
I wouldn't say I have a "golden ear" but it definitely has better high's, better lows, and more drool coming out of my mouth from the sound. So I would say yes. :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] cruckus:
the next update for the s6 and the edge has the audio improvement update in it
[Galaxy Note5 General] sshafranko:
Totally agree...i use Gear circle and Gear level U wireless buds and the sound is amazing and so much louder with my note 5 compared to my Note Edge...love it
[Galaxy Note5 General] Chengalang:
Any idea if the boosted headphone sound works for bluetooth enabled headphones like the JayBird X2?
[Galaxy Note5 General] carlitos66:
what about the call quality? In ear speaker loudness, loudness over speakerphone etc. I don't understand why these things are always almost not mentioned in any reviews, it is a phone first of all, right?
[Galaxy Note5 General] scoobrel:
I also noticed that the sound in my via Bluetooth is much louder and clearer. I'm very happy with it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] S197Mike:
yes the new note five will be running a higher bit rate for audio which will make audio sound better. More so if you have higher quality music files. Makes me happy you posted about this because I heard about the improved audio and now I know its true if others are posting about it
[Galaxy Note5 General] ekerbuddyeker:
The.sound is excellent
[Galaxy Note5 General] rx7boy22:
Yes just got my Note 5 yesterday also and did some testing between my iPhone 6 plus and LG G4 and the Note 5. The Note 5 is definitely the clear winner. The LG G4 is definitely sounding compressed, not sure why LG did this as the LG G2 had superb audio and was known for that. I honestly think the king now is the Note 5! ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Wrathor:
Anyone comparing the sound to the S6 or S6 edge? I have the S6 edge and the audio quality is not good, especially over bluetooth. Using the bletooth in my car or over my bluetooth speaker sounds hissy and pretty terrible while the same car and speaker sounded great with the htc one m8.
[Galaxy Note5 General] CollinFX45:
I agree with everything you said and I had those same devices. The only one that comes close to the Note 5 for me is the Sony Z3+, but I have so many complaints about that device that I'm not going to keep it. Anyway, my findings match yours and I couldn't be happier.

Not sure if this helps you since I don't use BT, but with IEMs via the headphone jack I find the Note 5 to be warmer and fuller sounding with less emphasis on treble like the S6 Edge I have. Also, while I initially thought the "UHQ Upscaler" was going to be a gimmick, it adds a surprising amount of punch to the audio! Overall, I'm like a kid in a candy store with this thing. I should also mention I use several high-end pairs of IEMs (Sony XBA-A3, MDR-EX1000, Dunu DN-2000j, etc.).

[Galaxy Note5 General] md1008:
Sound is noticeably better but after using m8 and Nexus 6 nothing to write home about

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------

Why must Samsung insist on putting the speaker grill on the side where it covers it up.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Slie:
Love the audio quality I am so happy. So happy.
[Galaxy Note5 General] AndreiLux:
The UHQ setting is actually enabling 192khz hardware output on the audio chip.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
hey buddy you seems like an audiophile....do you think note 5 sound matches those of some dedicated players like fiio x3 ?

and do you know exactly what is done internally when we switch on the UHQ Upscaler ?

and do you or anyone knows what DAC is used this time in Note 5 ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] CollinFX45:
Hi there - I'm not an audiophile, but I do appreciate a good, quality output. I actually haven't used a dedicated player; the most I've done is got an E17 DAC/Amp for headphones, but it wasn't worth the trouble for me personally.

The DAC is anyone's guess, but it should be Wolfson (as were most, if not all the Samsungs before it with Exynos processors).

Cheers,

-Collin-
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Hey buddy it's good u use E17. ..so compared to ur E17 does the note 5 sound better or same quality?

I had E18 but like you I found that too combursume
[Galaxy Note5 General] CollinFX45:
I haven't tried the E17 with the Note 5 yet, but I suspect it will only make it louder. I'll give it a try tonight. E18 would be the better choice for the Note 5, but oh well :)

-Collin-
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
No I meant E17 not with note 5 but with other phone and how's that compared with just note 5 audio ?

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

Where can we get confirmed info on this pls... This will make me so happy :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] ama3654:
Just type UHQ Upscaler in Google search, all reviews says it enables 24/192 on audio chip. The audio quality is just awesome!!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] laztpn0i:
So does anyone know if this have a Wolfson audio chip?
[Galaxy Note5 General] AndreiLux:
Well I confirmed it. The feature also works on the S6 now.

And yes it's a Wolfson chipset same as on the S6.
[Galaxy Note5 General] CollinFX45:
I would be going by memory if I commented here, so to be honest I am not really sure. I will do some more testing tonight :)

-Collin-
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Thanks buddy pls do share the results
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deadeye*:
Could you confirm is it's the same SQ on S6 as on Note 5?
[Galaxy Note5 General] done12many2:
If you're asking if the Note 5 sounds better than the S6, the answer is yes. There is a very noticeable difference from my AT&T S6 edge to my AT&T Note5.

Thanks to the OP for posting this because I didn't bother checking until you mentioned this.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deadeye*:
Does AT&T S6 edge have newest software update? that has same option as Note 5?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jpbl1976:
You do mean "important" right? Impotent would basically be the opposite of what you're trying to say :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] osmosizzz:
The note 5 does use the audio chip that the s6 and s6 edge uses. Now as to the audio quality that the s6 and the note 5 produce, well the international version got the update and the sound is now the same as the note and I can say that it's much better and they are finally tapping into the full potential of the Wolfson dac. I'm not an audiophile but I do enjoy clean music quality. And for those wondering, I use the vmoda m100
[Galaxy Note5 General] whoamanwtf:
It does sound great on my Bose headphones and even through bluetooth to my soundbar at home, better than my S6 did!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deadeye*:
So after both of them been updated including S6, Note 5 still sounds better?
[Galaxy Note5 General] osmosizzz:
Don't think his is updated unless it's the. International model. Theyre they're only ones that have the newest update I believe
[Galaxy Note5 General] done12many2:
As soon as I get home I'll post pictures of ROM versions and sound settings. The AT&T S6 edge does not have the UHD setting and is on the latest update from AT&T.
[Galaxy Note5 General] alaskajoel:
I have to agree with the sound quality praise. I am really enjoying the N920I and my cIEMs. Sounds much better than my Note 3 and Nexus 6. I probably won't even bring my Fiio E17 with me everywhere anymore....really impressed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] whoamanwtf:
I am on att with my S6, I don't think it has gotten that update yet? Because yeah the note sounds better.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
So with UHQ setting the sound is good or even without it ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
I did measurements in Audio Precision. The UHQ Upscaler does not need to be enabled to allow high res audio playback. I imagine what it does is upsampling for non high res files.

See my measurement comments in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/note5/general/note-5-headphone-jack-audio-performance-t3186790

I'll update the thread with graphs once I have 10+ posts and I can make external links.
[Galaxy Note5 General] alaskajoel:
Without UHQ it sounds much better than my nexus 6.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Juice3250:
I bought the Verizon Note 5 from best buy yesterday and they don't come with headphones. What a sham and ripoff. Especially after watching unboxing videos showing the included headphones. Very disappointed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] done12many2:
That sucks! I was actually surprised to see that the AT&T Note5 came with the headphones. I've bought from them before and not received headphones.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Juice3250:
It's just plain silly and stupid.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Nitemare3219:
Boxed headphones sound like garbage anyway. Don't complain. Samsung did you a favor.
[Galaxy Note5 General] done12many2:
I'm sure they aren't nearly as good as whatever you use, but garbage is a bit reaching. They sound pretty good. Not excellent, but pretty good.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Nitemare3219:
Look into the Brainwavz Delta's. They look great, feel great, and sound even better... all for ~$20.
[Galaxy Note5 General] JesseMT4G:
I personally think it only sounds good with the UHQ enabled. Without it, I couldn't get the loudness out of it compared to my lg g3.... Which funny enough, a lot of people said sounded terrible.
[Galaxy Note5 General] done12many2:
The speaker on the LG G3 was amazing compared to any of my Samsungs. The headphone experience wasn't some that left an impression with me, but the speaker itself was full sounding and loud.
[Galaxy Note5 General] JesseMT4G:
Yeah, being in the back I was surprised. Everyone I talked to or read from said how good the sound was on the headphones, wireless or wired on the n5. Shame I had to enable that to get it the same level as the g3.

Maybe I am just old... Lol!
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Guys anyone audiophile or cares for great music quality output from headphones can tell us hows the audio quality compared to any dedicated music player like fiio etc and dac.... Does note sound quality output is similar with no compromises

Perhaps who has dedicated music players like fiio or any dac can let us know the experience more after some use
[Galaxy Note5 General] ShannonPricePhoto:
You got headphones with it?? Note 3,4, and 5 didn't have any in the box.
[Galaxy Note5 General] scudzilla:
The box comes with earphones, beside the charger.

[Galaxy Note5 General] eskimochaos:
Are you streaming from somewhere or locally downloaded?
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
For general listening, I just use Spotify or Google Music, streamed. Often time played over BT to a speaker in the room, in my car, or into wired earbuds. If it's Google Music from my library, I am listening to MP3s sampled at 320, so they sound OK.

If I intend to really listen, I grab my headphones and play FLACS that are stored on my phone.

I just bought a 64GB OTG drive for my FLACS, since I don't want to eat up on-board storage. For me, this will work b/c I usually sit and chill when I want to really listen, so my phone is just sitting. I figured having a tiny OTG drive plugged in shouldn't be an inconvenience.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deagles:
Except the stock Apple earpod clone earphones, it's pretty good. Better than my previous phone which is G3. G3 was good at the sound quality and earphones, but it was literally horrible at the loudness. I mean you have to root it to change the sound limit, otherwise it was completely useless.

The note 5 is pretty good at overall, there is no ridiculous sound limit. But man... These earpods are horrible. They don't even fit, the silicones are too damn thick and they even put the thicker ones in the box(i think as a joke or probably for hulk like persons). You can't get proper isolation and bass because of it. Also if you try to push it as hard as you can to fit that thing in the depths of your ears, you are blocking the sound(What A Desing! C'mon Samsung). It's like holding the earpods close to your ear with your hands and listening like that.

Currently im using them with my soundmagic e10 and looking for a new pair of earpods. Im open for the earpod advises.

Note : Sorry for the possible grammer fails and corrupt sentences. This is not a native speaker right here.
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
The VZW N5 doesn't come with earbuds. But even if they did, I wouldn't expect much from them.

There are so many EXCELLENT choices for IEM's and over-ear headphones. Go to head-fi and do some research.

I use AT-M50's for headphones and Shure SE 215's for IEM's. Both very affordable and both well-received by those in the know. Plenty of other choices. Forget the supplied earbuds!

The thread the is about headphone quality output. The speaker is a whole different topic.
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
Still loving the audio quality on the N5. It has resulted in growing my hi-res music library.

Through good cans, this phone sounds freakin' amazing.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
They drive my w60s beautifully. Too bad I've only got 32gb t_t
[Galaxy Note5 General] ra990:
This is great to hear. Can I play back my high res audio files through Google Music without it being downsampled or does it only work on the Samsung music app?
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
Consider getting an OTG drive and will it with hi-res FLAC files. I find that when I want to enjoy the hi-res capability of this phone, I am using sitting somewhere with my good headphones on, so the external aspect of the OTG drive is nothing negative. I got mine on an Amazon 1-day sale - it was like $12 for a SanDisk 64GB OTG drive.

Interestingly, I've got more movies on there than music.

Don't lament that extra 32GB from VZW for $100 additional, when you can get 64GB for less than $20.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
The Samsung music app or power amp both sound incredible. I have a 128gb otg microsd adapter I'm using.. It's not ideal due to both the extra power and the fact it sticks out the end.. But yeah it's my only choice now.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

Not really VZW.. Im in the UK and It was a 60 usd difference to go for 64gb however I'd have lost 4g capability. The 920cd is the only one working on all lte bands. Basically I chose 4g support in the uk over 32gb more.

Using a wireless headset and Google Play music, the sound is lacking. Came from S4 with Viper4androidFX, and now feel like the sound is being "clogged" anyone experiencing similar things?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
No issues here with FLAC tracks played back with Google music player with Sony BT headphones with aptx
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Well.. Google Play Music sucks. I haven't found a way to deal with that.

Makes my W60s sound like tin cans until i use stock mp3 player or poweramp. night and day

Edit: also, bluetooth audio quality... will never be the same as wired. I understand i'm using riciulously expensive earphones but you will never have amazing audio quality with bluetooth.
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
I always use the stock player when I am really "listening".

And Yep - BT audio quality is not the best.

Use good, wired cans.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ra990:
Have you guys tried a good pair of APT-X enabled headphones? While I agree that wired will always win out, something like the Logitech UE 9000 are pretty impressive.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
How are you able to get your music player (stock or google play music) to recognize the music from your OTG drive?

I have one as well, filled with about 80 GB of music but it never shows up in any of my music players. :crying:
[Galaxy Note5 General] Deagles:
Today, i turn the UHQ on and holy cow man! There was definitely plenty of difference. I wouldn't think it does that much difference, but it's that much difference... I don't know it does a software trick or not, but i'm hearing the noises that i haven't hear in listening the same song million times.

It's too bad because it only works on stock player, not with the poweramp or 3rd part players.

Note: All my musics purchased on iTunes and they are 260kpbs aac files. Also, im listening them with the Soundmagic e10. I can't think what would it be listening with the high end earphones.

Editt: after doing some observation, i realize it's a it's a software trick. It adds some mechanical noises that is not belong the song/video and also, it adds a little bit background noise if the content you viewing/listening isn't high quality.

To summarize: Turn it off guys. :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
My N5 natively recognizes my OTG drive as soon as it is connected. The Samsung "My Files" app automatically opens listing everything on the drive.

If I open the Samsung player, it lists all of my audio files.

No issues at any time.

If this problem persists, consider going to Settings/Storage and select "Format USB OTG Storage" at the bottom. You'll lose all that music you put on there, but I'll assume that content is stored somewhere else. Once formatted, consider just putting a few tunes on there to test it out.

Maybe someone else here has some advice. But again, it all "just works" for me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] HNIC215:
Thanks, I tried that already but it didn't work. For some reason the stock player and google play music doesn't recognize music on my OTG drive.

I just bought Poweramp from the Google Play Store and everything is working perfectly now. It was only $4, so no big deal.

Poweramp is actually a pretty thorough music player, read a lot about it but never used it before.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Brick and unbrick.... wow brick is used for every issue with the device since 2014 it seems. :eek: :silly:

TLDR - if you install incorrect kernel, you won't be able to boot, but still can get into Downloader mode (or recovery) and flash the correct one.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
That's the issue, I did not see any firmware for the X (demo unit) - probably because it is not intended for customers.

It works with every ROM available for S6. Just remove the .bin files with cygwin.

I tried the g920i 5.0.2 ROM & a french 5.1.1 ROM, both worked via Odin/download mode.

However, still wondering how to get this one root.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lite426:
I would prefer to root it... Just to delete the demo software.

Anyone backed up stock demo unit kernel?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elofinn:
When I first flashed the G920i stock rom, I still had the bloatware of the demo unit. Then I reflashed with a french version of G920F, and read somewhere that wiping all the data from a device makes it faster, so I did it. Result: No bloatware nor anything demo-related. The only bloatware I have is 3 MS apps (Skype, OneNote & Onedrive.).

I hope it'll help you..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lite426:
Nice, so how much free space is it showing you have now?

Before I flashes ROM I should enable USB debugging right? And have you tried to root with unikernal? Any problems with the fact that with a stock ROM demo unit will constantly be searching for a cellular signal?
