This sounds promising. .downloading now

Verizon Note 5 64gb
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hippo1n2:
You only can turn off when u on power saving mode…
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiquiSE:
This is what I use on my Note 5 to disable them and it works flawlessly
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudraker:
On the AT&T model there is an option, assuming you are referring to the capacitive buttons. Seems like a silly thing to remove from carrier specific models.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
Yup first thing I downloaded
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrandrix:
No go on Verizon

Verizon Note 5 64gb
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tallazzPilipino:
I tend to just be in this mode most of the time. and when I'm just listening to music, I'll triple click (setting on) to greyscale for some extra power savings without disabling almost everything that U. Power Saving does.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloudraker:
Carriers and their ignorant choices.... On AT&T "Wallpaper" is its own separate heading under settings, which is honestly just stupid. I can think of no reason they should remove the option to disable the capacitive light timing.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodreaux:
Just turn on power saving mode in the settings under battery
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chord_Hugo87:
look at my thread, I done a tutorial on how to do it.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiquiSE:
There's an app you can called "Galaxy Button Lights", it'll disable them for you. I've been using it since Day 1 of my Note 5 without any issues and I know many others here use it as well.

It's pretty much the only way as mentioned on Page 1,

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chord_Hugo87:
no its not there is more than 1 way, I can count 3
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ActiveNoise:
Trying now will report back.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeezyLee86:
Touch key

It worked for me. Go to touch kry light and turn to always on. Then go to power save mode turn it on and then set to immediately. The lights should pop back know on.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave678:
International models are representative of Samsung's software that's clean and bloat free and if the setting to adjust keylight duration is not on those models than no other variant should have it. ATT software is cloneware .
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakitos:
Hey guys!

I installed CPU Spy and Performance Tuner and noticed that my max CPU speed is 1440Mhz but as far as I know it should say 1800Mhz. I know we have 4 cores running at 1.4Ghz and 2 cores running at 1.8Ghz which is the speed advertised.

What is your max CPU speed for your G4? :confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
CpuSpy doesn't know that cores beyond 0-3 exist, so it only shows the first quadcore cluster. App hasn't been taught bigLITTLE yet it seems.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakitos:
Oh I see, I thought I had like a bad CPU since I couldnt find something about it. Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadamean:

Use Kernel Adiutor App. it's compatible and detects all cores.
[Moto 360] seanvree:
Is there any way to rename the moto 360? Essentially need it to show up a different BT device.

Thanks,
[Moto 360] nijom:
yes you can!

I think we can rename it using the Connect app!
[Moto 360] Firragol:
Renaming your Moto 360

Yes, and it's fairly simple. First, make sure you have paired the Moto 360 to your device and have downloaded and run the Moto Connect app on your device as well. (I am assuming it will be your Android powered cell phone.) Next, open the Connect app on your device. It will say something like "null's Moto 360". Click the picture where it shows the watch in your app. There will be a prompt about the accuracy settings to use for your location, and at this point, you should set that to your liking, or select "not now" and do it later. You will see three dots at the upper right hand of the app. When you touch the three dots, a sub-menu will appear with the option to Rename. Touch Rename, and simply delete what is there, and type in what you want it to say! I hope this helps!

Just got Note 5 and the stylus is not quite flush with bottom of device. It protrudes just a bit and it's a little bit annoying but was wondering if anyone else has same issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] quangtran1:
I bought 3 and the pens are not flushed with any of them. It doesn't bother me; the top of the pen is not curved to match the contour of the corner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] reocej:
The one I demoed in the store was actually flush.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] pj1980:
It's very slight but I just assumed it was to make it easier to push in to release it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SwordOfWar:
I can feel it slightly also. This could be by design to make it easier to "feel" for the pen. If it was 100% flush with the phone it would be more difficult to feel without being able to see it (for example, during the night in bed)...

I think they are all like this, so it's not a defect with your particular phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] rivencap:
My s pen was flush in the beginning. Now it's not. I am a heavy s pen user. I'm wondering if the spring inside was too compressed and now it has loosen. Not happy. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] buckifvr:
If you run naked it would be annoying, but if you use a case it really wouldn't matter at all.
[HTC Tornado] sisniper:
Guys

Im trying to update my C600 to the wm6 rom,

Ive unlocked (SuperCID) my phone, app unlocked as well. However when I try run TTP it comes up saying cannot connect followed by several other characters.

Im using a XP laptop nd have followed the instructions on the thread.

One other thing is that whenever I try run a ROM update official or unofficial Windows says that romupdateutility.exe is not responding...... and closes.

Ive tried doing a hardreset but still no joy

Please help!!!

thanks

Simon
[HTC Tornado] tejasphatak:
after opening TTP are you selecting Serial and then USB from the drop down list??
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
ok.. make sure u r in bootloader mode and not in phone mode.

hold the camra key when the phone is off then plug in the usb cable
[HTC Tornado] sisniper:
thanks guys

but yep definitley in bootloader mode and definitaly selecting usb coonection!

any other ideas?

I wonder if my phones got somethng wrong as i cant even install the official Orange Rom? even my phone works perfectly

Thanks

Si
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
oh.... r u using vista????

try updating the drivers!!! read the vista thred in the first post... that might help you
[HTC Tornado] sisniper:
Well ive tried Vista nd Xp, I too have just read the Vista thread and downloaded the drivers

tried flashing again, PC rebooted at 20% One bricked C600

luckily its a corporate phone so will retry when I get my new one - lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Hi guys,

Some hardcore audiophile data here. Measured the output of the Note 5 using AudioPrecision APx525. Some interesting facts and graphs below.

Simply put: it's an audiophile's dream!

Supports high resolution playback up to 192 kHz. Also FLAC by the way.

Extremely flat frequency response: <0.03 dB delta upto 20 kHz, <0.35 dB delta upto 96 kHz

Very good dynamic range: 98 dB at max output level, 120dB at default output level

Relatively low output level: -8dBV (400mV using a 0dBFS signal) into a 16 Ohm load (for reference, Asian iPhone 6 = -1 dBV)

Output impedance: 4.6 Ohm

NOTE: all measurements done into a 16 Ohm load (standard headphone impedance).

Graphs

Relative output level in dB

THD+N spectrum

Red = for max output level

Blue =for default output level

UPDATE

I've done some more measurements to understand what the UHQ and Tube Amp Pro settings do. No surprises really, pure gimmicks in my opinion.

(1) Tube Amp Pro

Relative response level

THD+N spectrum

So, the Tube settings does 3 things:

EQ the low end. Less sub and more low mid range.

Add harmonic distortion in the low frequencies.

Remove very high frequencies.

Kind of expected for this kind of effect. I'll leave it up to your own subjective evaluation whether you want less bass and more distortion in your music :laugh:

(2) UHQ

I've only tested UHQ using an uncompressed file, but I think I know what it is trying to do.

RED curve = no UHQ spectrum

GREEN curve = UHQ spectrum

When using a high res file, turning UHQ ON did nothing. When I used a file which only has content up to 20 kHz ... something did happen.

It's clearly adding ultrasound content to the audio (i.e. content that was not originally there!). The test signal used here is an analytical multi tone signal. The measurement is normally very clean and sharp (see the red curve). The UHQ measurement shows (1) more distortion and (2) additional ultrasound harmonic content. The only reason I can imagine for adding this noise is to force the DAC to work in a higher sampling rate. I don't see the point to be honest, especially if it's being done by adding unnecessary noise and quite high levels of ultrasound harmonics.
[Galaxy Note5 General] eousphoros:
Thank you for quantifying this in such detail. I knew the audio was impressive but these are some great insights!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
My pleasure. I couldn't wait to get the measurement on the way, it really sounds fantastic. I would say on par with some of much more expensive dedicated headphone AMP/DAC combos I have here in my office.

By the way, I'm having my doubts if the dBV measurement is correct. It appears louder than that. It's a new AP setup for me, so I might have made a mistake. I'll measure the output level in a much more straightforward way (0 dBFS file -> load -> multimeter) and confirm or correct the result.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Output level confirmed and I've added the output impedance after measureing it just now.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Hiya Buddy:
Great, now I just have to find a cable that's compatible with my case. The plug on my JH-16 pros has to make contact with the phone (obviously), problem is that the plug is too wide for the case.

How does the volume level compare to an iOS device/Note 4? I ask because on the Note 4 I have to put it to at least 60% while on my iPod touch 5th gen 50% felt a little too loud?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Depends. European versions of iPhone are hard limited to around 450 mV (health guidelines). Asian iPhone 6's go up to very close to a 1 V RMS (800-1000 mV, depending on the load impedance). Worth knowing though that the last volume step of the iPhone 6 actually has internal audio clipping. I don't know what version they sell in the US.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Great to know this buddy.... I cafe for good audiophile quality sound.... I have fiio x3 dedicated music played.

So you mean it sound similar to what a dedicated player would sound? Also using the UHQ sound option, does that are sound better or shall we leave it off?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
I don't have experience with the fiio's. I was doing some subjective comparisons with some pretty nice DAC/amps and a very nice dedicated player (can't say the names, without giving away who I work for) and it held its own. Not bad for a phone. The measurements are just there to back up my subjective experience. I just know I will be thoroughly enjoying listening to music on this device.

With regards to UHQ... audio engineering is my job and frankly marketing nonsense like this makes me laugh. The Note 5 plays full range high res audio without enabling this function. I don't know what it does and I'm not even sure I will be able to measure it, unless if it's just some subtle high frequency EQ-ing like I've been reading. This should be the giveaway: UHQ works with both wired connections and Bluetooth... Bluetooth is severely band-limited (yes, even the fancy APTx) and I would be careful labelling this UHQ.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Cool so do you recommend keeping the UHQ setting on or let it be off for cleaner sound ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Why don't you listen and decide which one you think sounds best? It's all subjective anyway. :p
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
I know I just need an experts advice :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Haha, OK. There is no need to turn it on. It will not make things more clear or higher quality.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Okay cool thanks :) but if u can make out technically what that does pls do let us know.... I would like that some hardware sound chip tuning rather than just some crazy software eq

Also do you have any idea what dac note 5 has....is it Wolfson....
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
I've read it's the same Wolfson as in the Galaxy S6, but don't quote me on that.

Also, I've uploaded the graphs now since I hit 10 posts :laugh:
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Cool you got to thank me and my questions for completing ur 10 posts :)

Can I also ask which played on phone u used while measuring. .was it Samsung music player or some other music app ?

[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
U got to plug in a headphone to activate it
[Galaxy Note5 General] nique0201:
It doesn't work with Bluetooth though. I read that it enables some higher frequency on the sound chip or something like that

---------- Post added at 12:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

So I have a question... Should I enable the "adept sound" like what is it, it supposedly does? Does it dirty up the sound and how about the tube amp pro? Does that introduce more noise to the signal? For best results in a professional opinion should I leave everything off when using a wired connection. And Bluetooth for that matter. I'm using the Samsung level OVers so I listen both ways. I know the sound alive makes music sound bad in my opinion.... I actually made a post asking this stuff in the T-Mobile forums.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/s...eadphones-for-a-premium-listening-experience/

UHQ Audio: With the new Level On Wireless Pro, Samsung introduces Ultra High Quality Audio (UHQA) that

gives listeners a rich, high definition sound experience. UHQA transmission is possible with both wired and wireless device options. UHQA’s sound quality is higher than that of a CD, providing an almost live listening experience. The Level On Wireless Pro headphones also feature premium dual layered diaphragm, helping to create a more balanced sound.

HIgher than CD quality over Bluetooth? Bull****.

How I think the UHQ upscaler might work is through a principle called upsampling. It will force the DAC to work at higher sampling rates, even if the original file is not high res. This allows the filters used in the digital to analog conversion to be smoother, less prone to errors. We're talking very very subtle differences here though. In this use case, I doubt anyone will be able to reliably identify the UHQ version in a blind test.

RE: Adeptsound. It will use a simplified audiology test go get a view on your hearing deficiencies and then tune the sound to compensate. Example: if your a 50 year old man who's losing sensitivity for the high frequencies, this test will pick up on that and add high frequencies in the music signal. I think this might have benefits for sure... if you are going slightly deaf. Otherwise, your brain is perfectly adapted to the little deficiencies in your hearing, there is no need to compensate for them. But, don't take my word for it. Give it a try. If you think it makes your music sound better, excellent.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nique0201:
Should I use tube amp pro or sound alive? What do they do or are they gimmick that mess up the sound in the long run?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Sound alive is a form of virtual surround. I hate that kind of processing on music, but for movies can be fun.

The tube amp pro I've only listened to very briefly and had trouble identifying what it did.... Those kind of audio processing gimmicks typically add subtle forms of harmonic distortion. I don't see the need for it. If you like the sound of it, by all means, go for it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nique0201:
OK. I feel like whilenon Bluetooth tube amp pro makes the bass deeper... But wired it only adds a bunch of line noise (white noise) on silent parts or between songs or lower volume parts.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DAvid_B:
I'm not saying Samsung did this, but there was a test that Carver did where he took one of his amps and made it sound like a competitor's well respected "golden ear" priced/sounding amp. He compared it to his, then did some magic, making his amp sound like the well respected model.

He did it by trying to null out the feeds from his amp and the competitors amp using the same source. I see no reason that Samsung or any other company couldn't do the same sort of thing in the digital realm.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Yeah, a lot can be done with digital audio processing. Especially with analog circuit emulations. E.g. certain software synthesisers can quite accurately simulate their analog counterparts. But... This requires serious processing power which I'm almost certain is not what Samsung's applying here. It would require a seriously powerful dedicated DSP chip.
[Galaxy Note5 General] roger1955:
Yep, that worked. Thanks

roger1955
[Galaxy Note5 General] JesseMT4G:
The UHQ makes it sound better for sure. I was upset at 1st as my fitAcoustics sounded amazing with my lg g3. I then hear how good the sound is over headphones on the n5. Man I was initially disappointed big time, but thank God for this site. I would have never guessed plugging in a headphone jack to activate the UHQ.

Sounds on par if not better now.

These are bluetooth headphones as well, in case anyone was wondering.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Hey man,

Read some of my earlier comments. I think the sound quality is top notch. I compared it to some high end amp/DACs and players (Sony, Onkyo, Teac, AK). It could stand its own. Not quite as good as the best among those but not significantly worse. I like ve it frankly. The bass timing is excellent. The highs are a tad artificial but so is the case with a lot of DACs. Only thing I would say is that the non negligible output impedance is unfortunate. People with multi BA earphones with odd impedance curves will get some frequency response shaping because of it. But those earphones are fairly rare. Most multi BA's are fairly well behaved. Plus, the impedance is not that high.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Great so it can replace the fiio x3 I have which has Wolfson dac... What you say
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Yeah I said before, no experience with the fiios.
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Okay np which headphones u have to compare these
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
I work for one of the biggest headphones brands... So those. Can't say really, don't want to make it obvious. Let's just say they're more than good enough to judge sound quality of DACs. ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
Cool I have Sennheiser psb Bose and shure I guess u work in any of these and can suggest which one will be right to get the most of note 5

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Also which played in note 5 u used while ur measurement, was is stock Samsung player or some other player
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Testing was done with the stock player.

I love the Sennheiser IE800, HD25 and HD800. Bose, Shure and PSB I don't rate very high. Bose QC range are great at noise cancelling though.

And no, I don't work for them.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Nitemare3219:
Hi,

Hopefully you can give me some useful insight. I've done quite a bit of looking around a couple times for info relating to Bluetooth audio quality. I only use my phone for music when I'm in my car, or at home and don't feel like running to my PC to change the song (so I use a Bluetooth adapter).

BT is convenient in my car because I get track metadata as well as pause, forward, back, etc. I want the best audio quality possible though - how exactly is Bluetooth limited, even after all these revisions and APTx? I listen to all my music via Google Play (so 320kbps .mp3's) and occasionally SiriusXM internet radio (quality seems like 192kbps, maybe 256kbps). I have tried doing a couple comparisons between using BT and an aux cable, and haven't really been able to find a difference. I'd like to think I have a pretty good setup in my car, but I'm not sure because some people on forums have said it's crap for the $2,000 price tag (19 Harman Kardon speakers - 2015 SRT Charger), but I think it's the clearest audio I've ever heard.

I will say that my Note 5 sounds a lot better than my G4 did over BT in the car.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
It's quite complicated to explain in a post. But some things to bear in mind.

BT transmission compresses the audio file. So when using MP3 or any other type of compressed audio, the file gets compressed twice. There are 3 types of BT compression. In order of audio quality (high to low), there is APTx, AAC (iOS only) and SBC. SBC is the standard BT codec.

The problem with SBC is that the source device will decide on the quality. Some devices will purposely lower the transmission rate to have less dropouts. That's why you will hear differences some times between devices. So its not unlikely that your N5 sounds better than you G4. APTx can sound better, but its only available if the receiver also supports it. You would have to check if your car stereo also supports it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] killeraxemannic:
Ha! I picked up on this straight away after plugging in my Sennheiser HD598's to my Note 5 and listening to some music. I came from the Note 3 and was pleasantly surprised by how good the Note 5 sounded. Good to now have real confirmation of what I thought I already knew. Now the wait till Tuesday to see if my replacement Note 5 has the pink screen discoloration issue like my last one I sent back. If it doesn't I think it will be the prefect phone!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Updated the original post with UHQ and Tube Amp pro measurements and analysis. My advice: leave it off...
[Galaxy Note5 General] saj2001ind:
thanks, did u managed to find out what exactly the UHQ does ? is it only software based eq ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Did you even read the post?

It's not an EQ. It adds ultrasound content to the audio file to trick the DAC into operating in higher sampling rates. I wouldn't for the life of me know why you would want to do that in such a way.

One could argue that using up-sampling and then using higher sampling rates in the DAC could be beneficial for audio quality (ie. because gentler filters are used). BUT: the way it's done here completely defeats this purpose. It adds noise! Again: leave it off... It will not make your music sound better.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rsohne:
I am 59 and when I first listened to some YES flac files they sounded very bassy to me. After doing the adapt sound setup I was amazed at how good it sounded . I thought it was a gimmick until I ran the setup. I miss my young ears.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Sounds like you're exactly the target audience! Great to hear you're enjoying your music much more now.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Im curious. Im kind of getting into the whole audiophile thing, trying to learn some more.. What kind of file types are you listening to you on your phone? WAV? FLAC? and where are you getting them from? What player do you recommend on android?
[Galaxy Note5 General] billykxda:
GREAT thread.
