anyway to get the latest base without wiping my internal? i have the old one and i'm getting random reboot everywhere
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] BACARDILIMON:
i use a otg and it stays on my keychain. Now if twrp would just fix the read /write issue we can make backups to the drive and not the phone i only have 10 gb left on a 64gb which was really 55gb lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] jovy23:
Check my guide in second post. Sometimes flashing stock odin tars can erase your internal storage if you need to factory reset the device in stock recovery so your device can boot up after it gets stuck on the boot logo for some users after installing a stock odin tar file. All the info is there in the second post on how to update to the latest firmware.

Anyone going to switch to this device? My Relay has been loyal to me for the last 4 years, but I think it's about time to get a new QWERTY.
[BlackBerry Priv] Tamarinde:
I would if it wasn't so freaking huge!
[BlackBerry Priv] dzl:
That thing looks exactly like the S6 Edge with the keyboard closed. I'm intrigued, but I'm typically not one to drop the coin on a flagship phone.
[BlackBerry Priv] Be Jammin:
I was thinking about getting this before I knew it had android. Now, I'm definitely getting it! Probably the last android qwerty ever if it flops.
[BlackBerry Priv] xN2iicolas:
hey
[BlackBerry Priv] Neo-xxx:
i think im gonna get this one ...
[BlackBerry Priv] A.J:
I cannot wait. I just hope it is real, because the company said they would not ditch their Blackberry OS because it is more secure than Android. :(

I will switch to this phone right the second they accept pre-orders if it is really qwerty Android.
[BlackBerry Priv] Shazam52:
You know they've done good when the phone makes you think about it 3 times or more. I like the Venice and I think it will have its fair share of success (Sammy Fan) :good:

Blackberry does not do preorders , once they set a release date , it will be out.
[BlackBerry Priv] bmccrary:
As someone writing this on my Photon Q, I am really really excited about a phone for once! I hope it will have good battery life or a removable one at least. I use my arrow keys like crazy so I'm glad to see the touch sensitive keyboard!
[BlackBerry Priv] cosp79:
For sure it's a very interesting device, I want one at least for a drivetest :) I hope for a reasonable thinness and weight, with a battery of 2800mAh at least.

[BlackBerry Priv] mikedemoda:
it's really tempting. i love the combo of slider + curved display + nearly stock android but i need to see battery and camera tests before going for it cuz Blackberry has never been big in the camera department and battery was good only in non-touchscreen devices
[BlackBerry Priv] chuckiev79:
I'm getting this phone for sure. I'm sure it will be locked down like fort Knox but I don't care. I'm ready to move on from 2012 galaxy relay.
[BlackBerry Priv] Xaiux:
Not sure what you mean by good battery only in non-touchscreen devices. My Z30 routinely lasts two days without a charge overnight easily.
[BlackBerry Priv] Cyber-Logic:
Looks great. I prefer tactile keyboards instead of on-screen ones, so I'm always on the lookout for stuff like this.

I have a DROID-4, and I love it (and its keyboard) dearly, but can't deny that it's an old device that is not even supported anymore.

The Blackberry Priv / Venice will definitely be in my wishlist. I usually hate portrait-style keyboards, but for some reason it looks good on this phone. Watched a hands-on video of it, looks pretty sweet, and the specs are that of a flagship phone. I don't think we'll get a NEW Android QWERTY phone from other manufacturers anyway.
[BlackBerry Priv] Zer0.exe:
This thing looks HUGE (which is great!) so the portrait keyboard layout shouldn't be too hard to adjust to. G4 tier specs are still an upgrade over the Note 4. Only things we don't know about it are

-battery size/ life

-price

-fast charging/ wireless charging

-Fingerpring scanner on keyboard? (space bar maybe)
[BlackBerry Priv] ToniCipriani:
Pretty sure it will NOT have a fingerprint reader in the keyboard. The Priv has a capacitive sensitive keyboard like the Passport (which is used for scrolling and gestures), so I somewhat doubt it will have space for fingerprint hardware.
[BlackBerry Priv] A.J:
I currently have Motorola Droid Turbo, and I'm not going to lie I love my phone so much even though it is not new still have the latest specifications and amazing battery life even better than any phone released in the past days.

However, qwerty keyboard are magical to me so I have to have the Blackberry Priv. But do you think guys it will be updated on time and have got support? Or will it be ditched? And what would happen if Blackberry didn't sell enough from it? Would they discontinue it or even sell out the company? Haha

I hope it would be reasonably priced to be able to match the new Nexus devices.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daffie:
Cheers for this! Btw Regular english version of TWRP is now available.

Just not completely sure about steps 2 and 3. Are these steps correct? :

- reboot into bootloader and enter Odin mode

- flash N9208-Root(0901).tar

- reboot into bootloader and enter Odin mode

- flash N9208-原版-Boot.tar

- reboot into bootloader and enter Odin mode

- flash TWRP (english version)

Is a reboot into bootloader and Odin after flashing each tar file necessary, or can we just flash the 3 tar files right after one another?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandodistinto:
It has spanish (I'm currently using it - Colombian) but you can't have handwriting recognition in spanish, only english and korean, as far as I've could see.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
You can mix it up a bit. You can reboot into download mode, flash twrp, then from there flash supersu zip, then from recovery choose reboot into download mode and flash Chinese kernel (boot).

The reason why in instructions it says to manually reboot into download, is because they all go into same slot in Odin, and while you can reset Odin app and reload next file, the download mode will refuse flashing next file until manually cycled. And individually recovery without kernel will not boot.

Also make sure reboot option in Odin os unchecked. Do it with keys.

I'm also on TMO. I am using the Taiwan version, SM-9208 and as you can see from my screenshot it supports LTE Band 4 AWS which is what T-Mobile primarily uses for LTE. AT&T mostly uses Band 2, which this phone also supports. I'm not sure if all the Note5s use the same bands. If someone could tell me the dialer code to check for all the bands that would be helpful.

I just want to share my experience with the caller ID software glitch on the N9208. Since this device was made mainly for certain regions which have country codes of 2 or 1 digits, any country with 3 digits suffer from the caller id not appearing when there is a call even if the no. is saved on phonebook but only if the numbers are saved with country code. If saved without; the caller ID glitch won't appear. This problem was also experienced in the S5 prime since it was made for south korea mainly. To solve this problem either to save the no. without country code or to save the no. twice on the same contact, one with country code and another without.

It would be nice to have the network mode options available. I don't know if this phone has the capable hardware, but it would be nice to see if this phone can run 3G/WCDMA on the second sim instead of 2G/Edge.

ATT is already thinning 2G here, shutting it off on various towers. After the 2G shutdown on Jan 1 2017, this phone will lose its dual sim calling capabilities.

Its only data that you cannot connect to lte at the same time. I still dont know why you would need 2 high speed networks at the same time anyway. 2g networks are disappearing?
