[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] naif_pimping4:
the same thing happened to me yesterday. my note 5 is just 3 weeks old and it fell just about a foot above the ground; the fall wasn't that hard. i thought it wont damage the phone but when i checked, the display got this curvy like lines so i restarted the phone but the same still appeared. i checked the other parts like the camera, the sensors etc and they were all working. so i turned the phone off. after a few mins, i needed to use the internet so i turned my phone back on. i noticed a purple color developed on the top left part of the screen so i turned the screen off. after 30 mins, the purple color had already spread on different parts of the screen. now, the entire screen is covered with this purple color. i know the damage is with the LCD but its kinda weird because the screen didn't get any cracks neither were there any dents on the phone which means that the fall was not that hard. my s3 suffered worse falls and it is still alive and kicking. note 5 is for sure a very fragile phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
Note 5 isn't any more fragile than any other phone - you just had bad luck.

For example, I've dropped my note 5 once with no case, and 2x with a thin tpu case from 4 feet to a tile floor each time and no damage.

It is purely luck on how it lands.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atchleya19:
May be a really dumb question.

Looking to get a Note 5 on AT&T but I need it rooted. I understand only Sprint and T-Mobile are rootable. Right now I have a unlocked Tmobile S6 Edge working on AT&T and am curious if a Note 5 from Sprint will also work.

I'm obviously buying the phone outright. I know it will work on Verizon too, but that also, to my understanding, can't be rooting.

Thanks in advance and sorry if it was a dumb question.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmy72:
No for Sprint, yes for T-Mobile. Sprint runs their network on CDMA system, and AT&T runs their network on GSM. Even though the Sprint Version of the Note 5 technically has a sim card, its hardware is still based on a CDMA setup. The sprint version would not work. However, The T-Mobile version runs on a GSM Network, like AT&T. So providing that you are able to have Domestic SIM Unlock available to you, you would be able to put an AT&T Sim card in the phone and it would work.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outlaw815:
I have the same question as you. I have a sprint note 5 and want to take it to at&t since I just got hired with them I get 50% off. I entered the serial number in on att website and its says it will work
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sand1303:
actually i have read the new lte phones are dual radio whether they are gsm or cdma. out the box no it will not work on anything other than sprint. getting it unlocked may be a challenge. the sprint nexus 6 comes factory unlocked and is usable on ALL cdma AND gsm networks. now comes the tricky part even if u do have a unlocked phone. unlocked should work for all gsm like your needs. but u can not take a unlocked nexus from att and use it on sprint like you can the other way around. becuase of cdma networks activating off the esn and not the imei. or for that matter using a sprint phone on a verizon service, yes the phone is capable but cdma has to have the esn in the networks database for it to work. verizon and sprint control what devices can be activated since the activation is through the esn and not the sim card. in the old days the straight answer is no way. i would definitely look into it more before deciding on a answer.

its on the internet so it must be true! but seriously, i am not saying your answer is either yes or no, just saying its worth looking into. fwiw i would think its only a matter of time before the root is achieved on all of them.

Has anyone confirmed whether or not a Sprint Note 5 will or will not work on AT&T if it's unlocked?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanecain:
If you get it unlocked for domestic, yes it will work.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trinathaniel:
Yes, you can get it unlocked for virtually any carrier. I'm using a Sprint Note 5 on AT&T right now. In fact I'm sending this reply on it. I had it software unlocked (Sprint's a real stickler with their unlocking policy, but even so it's still possible even through them. There are plenty of forums about it. Though there are certain bugs with using it that piss me off like not being able to send MMS while connected to wifi, but I get my full carrier speed. I tested it side by side with an AT&T iphone 6s. Note 5 won massively on the upload time.

I'm helping!

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmage93:
Ok, so here goes nothing. I took my Z3 a couple of days ago to the pool to take a few underwater shots. After 5 mins of being in the water, the screen started flickering and after that it died. Or it didn't completely? Apparently not. The phone still works but there's no backlight and can't use the touchscreen either, if i hold the phone in a powerful light source i can see the images on the screen. I took the phone to a phone repair shop and i told them the obvious, to replace the screen. They said they found rust inside the phone and that the new screen they used wasn't showing any images. No warranty and no insurance on it. What else could it be?

[Galaxy S6 General] psych0r3bel:
I know, I know. No questions in General. But the question is meant to start a discussion/hopefully start a collective of people willing to solve a GENERAL problem (see what I did there? :D)

Anyway, bad puns aside, on to the point: why are we not? No company likes negative press or even the thought of negative press. We don't like not having AOSP/Vanilla Android ROMs on this beast of a device (not to mention **** battery life, kind of sad theme options in a restricted environment). They need to do is release proper documentation for the Exynos 7 SoC. We're here BECAUSE open-source.

So it brings me back to the question: Why have we not even TRIED to twist Samsung's arm in this respect? The research I've done shows the last time anyone even attempted this was waaaay back in 2012. Seemed like SOME headway was made, but seems like it all just fell off the face of the Earth. This issue transcends the G920/5x models, as Samsung has made it pretty obvious that Exynos will be the SoC of choice going forward. Meaning this sets a precedent where the future of the most popular line of Android devices does not support developing anything but TouchWiz, which stunts the open-source nature of the OS it is built upon, and really invalidates the POINT of buying an Android phone instead of an iPhone. You want to give us TouchWiz, great! They've made amazing improvements to this UI and I'm sure they'll continue polishing it. Again, it's an Android. That's an offering most people will love. We shouldn't be forced to use it.

So. To wrap this up, I will be reaching out to Samsung personally and attempting to source this documentation. I have NO idea what I am doing. It would help immensely if the community would jump into this and help out. The more of us reach out, the louder our voice will be. If they refuse to cooperate, we attack on Twitter, Facebook, etc.
[Galaxy S6 General] psych0r3bel:
tl;dr - I want AOSP on my Samsung phone. This one and future ones. I know you do too. Let's do something about it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Krokogator:
If we get AOSP we'll loose great camera preformance and some unique Samsung apps (for example I love s planner, it's the cleanest calendar I've ever used), without great camera and some unique features actually nexus devices look better in terms of price, SD support.

That's my opinion why people stick with touchwiz and want to improve it rather than going straight for AOSP.

[Galaxy S6 General] Pratz852:
They finally need to resolve the ram management on this device.. otherwise touchwiz is fine after debloating it a bit....

And the OS must be optimised.. I don't feel the awesome specs of this device are being making use of..

I used aosp on my S4 but kept on going back to touchwiz because of the Camera and other few things.
[Galaxy S6 General] the Doctor:
Why not go buy something else instead of starting a negative rant thread? That's the best way to get Samsung's attention. They aren't forcing you to buy their stuff.
[Galaxy S6 General] Rakcoon:
It's a matter of preference. Some people, myself included, like touchwiz. Keep in mind, no one is forcing you to buy samsung or any brand for that matter. Respectfully, if you want aosp, you have the choice of buying nexus or gpe's.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
I don't really get why people are complaining about the ram issue. The way I multitask is I turn the app into a bubble then open my primary app. It works flawlessly on my side.
[Galaxy S6 General] aydc:
On my previous phones, I have tried every sort of AOSP ROM ranging from CM to PA to whatever experimental stuff that came out that day. There was a time where I was running a different ROM every day.

My phones were always unstable, things were not working, crashing all the time. Most of the original features that came with the phone were not working. I finally got tired of it. Since I got this S6, I haven't even rooted it. I'm just running stock and I'm loving it. Everything just works.

Sure the RAM thing is a minor annoyance but nothing major. Apps launch almost instantly anyway. I wouldn't go back to AOSP even if it was possible. I love a using a phone that works 100%.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Umm, you swipe from the top most of the app(left or right) down and it will shrink down the app. From there, you can then choose the minimize button so that it turns into a bubble. This will only work for portrait only app.

Everyone telling me to get a different phone or to just not buy Samsung to "teach em a lesson," yeah. Samsung doesnt care about $1000 lol.

.. I got my brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910C) just a week ago and I have been using it in a leather case just from the very first moment The device is my jewel and I take care of it, as if it were my own child!

My Note 4 has never been exposed at any kind of mechanical or thermal stress and is used with the following three cases:

http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00...00&tag=andrhilfdeand-21&ascsubtag=08009l11bqj

This morning I noticed an "internal scratch" (??) that was definitly not present the day before, as this "scratch" is very notecible. The display anomaly is located on the upper left corner of the display. As can be seen in the pictures, it looks as if a small remnant of a film/foil or an adhesive (adhesive tape) on the display lingered on the surface of the glass, but this is DEFINITLY not the case! The surface of the glass is PERFECTLY smooth, so anomaly must be present below the glass.

I have absolutely no idea what this anomaly could be and how this anomaly could have occured!

Has anyone ever observed / experienced / heard of something similar and doues anyone know what to do? The device is just a week old, and was treated like a raw egg! What could that be?

Should I send the device in for repair? But I am REALLY NOT keen to give my device away for repair, because I'm afraid that my precious mait might get damaged/ scratched by the exchange of the glass! If this is unfounded?

I am also absolutely dependent on my device and can practically not forgo my phone a single day, as it is my only means of communication. For this reason, sending in for repair really is no option for me!

Does anybody know if there is an on-site service for Samsung mobiles (near Stuttgart, Germany). Is it maybe possible/ probable to get a new replacement unit? Because this display anomaly is undoubtedly a manufacturing fault!

I thank you for all the your answers, suggestions and support!

Yours sincerely.
