Has anybody noticed the GPS not functioning when using two SIMs? When I insert a SIM on the 2nd slot, I couldn't get a satellite fix. But removing the 2nd SIM restores normal GPS functionality.
[Galaxy Note5 General] stanburn:
Have you checked data availability? Do you also switch to the second sim for data? GPS needs internet connectivity to work.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pmredulla:
Actually, standalone GPS doesn't need internet connectivity. I'm able to use GPS in my Note 5 with my offline maps when I'm not connected to the internet. My only problem is that I couldn't get any satellite (not even one) when a 2nd SIM is inserted in my phone. I can get a satellite fix even when I am in Airplane mode. The phone couldn't get any satellite signal when a SIM is inserted in the 2nd slot. Maybe this problem is unique to my phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] stanburn:
Could it be your new sim's network is reporting a different location and so your phone is trying to download the new gps location almanac for the apparent "new" location?
[Galaxy Note5 General] pablomanila:
I'm using 2 sims - Sim1 for Globe text and call, Sim2 for SmartBro data. No problems with GPS dependent apps like Waze and Uber.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pmredulla:
Thanks for the info. Will try again. BTW, in my case, I'm using Smart postpaid for SIM1, and Smart prepaid for SIM2.

Maybe you're right. But I left my device running overnight trying to get a satellite fix with the net connection on. Maybe I have a defective unit [emoji5] .
[Galaxy Note5 General] stanburn:
That happens to me often, though not while slipping in one or two sims at a time. Sometimes in the evening it'll work fine, then the following morning, I get no satellite fix at all. I'd reboot, leave it trying to fix for hours, but nothing happens; so I delete gps data, reboot, wipe all caches in recovery, connect to data, sync my clock, then start my gps tool again, and it'll eventually get a fix in an hour or so. Then it'll work fine again for a few weeks as though it never happened. Then out of the blue it'll happen again.

I know it has something to do with my phone using my network's location or time zone info, so I disabled that and have a separate app the syncs time for me. That lessened the frequency of whatever that's causing it to happen, happen.

Hi admin and other forum users. I have a friend from the us who wanted to give me his note 5 under t mobile network. My question is, will it work here in the Philippines? I've read about different bandwidth etc. If yes, what should be the process? Will unlocking the phone be enough? Will there be future problems,? Thank you.

overheating, battery drain, signal issue

Hello, about two weeks ago, my note 5 sm-n9208 has been having with overheating when the 4g is on. And the battery just keeps going down. And then after a while, I get a signal issue wherein, the signal bars a pretty good but people keep telling me that they are having a hard time contacting me. I called the store who sold it to me that happens to be Kimstore and they asked me to bring it back to them. Just to give you a little background, I bought my phone at kimstore in January and after 2 months, it wont open anymore and they said that there was a problem with the board and they needed to replace it. I had to pay for the replacement because apparently, their warranty is only service and labor. And then 2 weeks ago, I encountered numerous problems again so I needed to bring it back there. They had my phone for almost 2 weeks and when I took it back, they said that they only had to reformat. They said that they didnt encounter overheating or signal issues or battery draining. The moment I took my phone, 5 percent already went down. Now I'm still having the same issues and i tried to root my phone last night hoping that it will fix anything but still, no luck. Do you guys have any experience similar to this? I'm really desperate to fix this.

Hi. RE. UNLOCKING GLOBE LOCKED NOTE 5 PHONES

When I am in PH I can use my phone in different networks one is with globe and the other one is in Smart. So I thought I can use it outside PH without asking to open line my phone, right now I am encountering problems since I bought a sim here in the US but after trying several times on both sim slots it does not work, also it's asking a code whenever I put my international sim in sim slots. Please help me guys! I am a newbie your help will be super appreciated. TIA!

Hi,

I am planning to root my mobile and this is the first time I will root an android device. The step provided is very vague for me as I am a beginner. Can you please help me? Thank you so much in advance.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mbolinao:
I might have stumbled a step by step instructions last week, I have to dig in my browser history. Will get back to you.

For the meantime, since you're a first time rooter, you need to take in consideration that with new Samsung phones (including Note 5), you wouldn't be able to reverse it back to normal state because of KNOX. So for warranty purposes, Samsung will not honor it once they see the KNOX counter stopped. Since other Android devices don't have KNOX security, it can be reverted back to original and official status without an easy trace from service centers, thus allowing you to still claim warranty, and just re-root it after the repair. I'm also itching to root my phone for many reasons, but since it's fairly new, pagsasawaan ko muna before rooting.

But if you're really sure you want the rooted path, regardless of warranty, ill PM you once I see the other link ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] bozzpaw:
Thank you Sir for your reply. I read tons of thread about rooting. Most likely, I have the idea. My phone is just 5 days old (from Globe). I really need to root it because globe is not my primary number. And its quite hard to carry 2 phones at the same time. Im just hoping that after I root my Note 5, nothing bad happens on its hardware or the like. :)

I really dont see the idea of locking both SIM slot in the same carrier. At least, leave the other slot open for other carriers (Im not sure how possible is that). :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] swiftden:
Mine is Globe Locked but only Sim 1. Sim 2 is open line. Have you tried inserting other Sim?
[Galaxy Note5 General] softpinkishlips:
Hi. Can you tell me donts when charging note 5 in order not to get damaged. Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] bozzpaw:
Yes Sir. Tried both slot (using Smart sim). SIM is rejected and its asking me for an Unlock code. What SIM did you tried in SIM2? :confused:
[Galaxy Note5 General] pmredulla:
As what was previously pointed out, rooting your phone will void the warranty. If you can afford to shell out $20, you can obtain a network unlock key from various sites offering this service. Either that or void your warranty. Rooting does not mean your phone is automatically unlocked.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mbolinao:
If using a different carrier sim is your purpose, I don't think you need to root your Note 5. I haven't tested using another sim for my 2nd sim slot (Im also using a Globe unit) but I've heard a lot of feedback that slot 2 should be unlocked. I think carriers are only allowed to lock one sim slot for all dual sim units.

Besides, rooting your device will not unlock any sim slots.

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

None. Just use it and don't stress out. Smartphones are smart enough not to overcharge a device. Your phone decides how much power to pull from a charger, and manages it so your battery won't get damaged. Phones also automatically shut down if the battery overheats.

HTH. =)
[Galaxy Note5 General] softpinkishlips:
They say i should charge my note 5 when battery is 15% otherwise it will lessen its life span. How true is it? I charge my note 5 everyday and i even charge it when it's 50%. Pls enlighten me. Thank you
[Galaxy Note5 General] swiftden:
It means, it'll take 2-3 years before you see the effect. By then, you already sold your Note 5 and upgraded to a new one. =)

One more question. What does it mean when my note 5 is getting hot while charging?
[Galaxy Note5 General] pmredulla:
From the Samsung Galaxy Note5 User Manual

Battery charging tips and precautions

•When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

•If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before turning on the device.

•If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

•Using a power source other than the USB power adaptor, such as a computer, may result in a slower charging speed due to a lower electric current.

•The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.

•If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

•While charging, the device and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging.

•If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bozzpaw:
Thank you Sir. I found out that, Globe must be inserted in Slot1 for you to be able to use Slot2 to with other carrier. Using Slot 1 or 2 alone with other Carrier will not work. :)

[Galaxy Note5 General] drmodify:
Just my advice for those buying the dual sim version things to consider before buying...

Some downside with using a Flagship dual sim from Samsung

1) Super Delayed or no updates for the next android version

2) not much compatible ROMS (AOSP, CM13)

3) Play store apps unsupported dual sims (mostly messaging apps)

other than that, dual sim feature is very pleasant!
[Galaxy Note5 General] vagaBond07:
For sure we will have a custom rom. Sooner or later
[Galaxy Note5 General] drmodify:
Your optimism is commendable but if you want to see the time frame of having a custom rom or even an official for a Samsung dual sim device

search XDA and google.

But I do also hope we get one

hello to everyone, I encountered something today. I installed Dr. Ketan's ROM today and everything works perfectly, I then used build.prop editor to change model number look from SM-N920I to SM-N9208 after that, when I rebooted, the phone suddenly locked my sim cards. I tried removing the sim from slot 2 then it would recognize my sim, but if I insert both sim, sim card will be locked for both. Anyone experience something similar?Currently downloading stock firmware for smart. Hoping it will solve the problem.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Mandirigma:
tried it, didn't work. :P
[Galaxy Note5 General] karlonicolas:
Sorry for the duplicate post -- maybe you have info.

I have a dual sim Note5 locked with smart (but suprisingly, it is not really factory locked. I was told that I should place smart on sim1, but i tried just placing globe on sim2 and it still works even without a smart sim). I know that you can only use one (1) LTE sim, so globe is set to automatic, meaning it will be in GSM mode, since Smart is in LTE. Anyway, both sims are set to AUTO (LTE/WCDMA/GSM) mode.

Note that Smart sim1 is in LTE Band 1 2100 and globe sim2 is in LTE Band 3 1800. Both sims are LTE capable, and with existing LTE data plans.

Any way, here is the issue:

I noticed that i could not get a data connection using my smart sim everytime my globe sim is present.

Thus, if I have two sims inserted (smart LTE sim in sim1 and globe LTE sim in sim2, both set to AUTO LTE/WCDMA/GSM), LTE data access on smart (sim1) would work for maybe a minute or two, and afterwards, it would no longer connect to LTE. Even if the phone displays a 4G connection, it does not really connect (after a minute, no LTE connection). Because of no data connection, I would try using my Globe LTE sim (smart on sim1 becomes GSM), and surfing in LTE appears to be continuous, unlike with smart (using LTE in sim1).

When i switch back to surfing using smart LTE (Globe becomes GSM), i can again surf using smart LTE for a minute or less than 2, but eventually it will disconnect. Even if the phone says 4G, i cant connect to the internet.

Today, i removed the globe sim, and it seems that i can already surf with smart LTE, without disconnection of LTE data. I noticed that i can now use LTE continuously (using sim1) after physically removing the Globe LTE sim card.

My question is, is there some form of signal interference between two (2) sim cards, that prevents me from using two (2) LTE sims (both are set to AUTO LTE/WCDMA/GSM, and LTE is in sim1, GSM in sim2) at the same time?

Does the presence of two (2) LTE sims (although one is in GSM mode) affect the LTE data connection?

This is really a strange issue and hope anyone has already encountered this.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mbolinao:
Hmm, I haven't tried using 2 sims on my note 5 (Globe issued), but have you tried digging on all SIM settings? Maybe sim2 has some sort of "data priority" set to ON if it detects a sim in it? Or maybe there's a "turn OFF sim2 data" option so you can have sim1 using data all by itself?

Again, I haven't tried using two sims so that's just my educated guess.

---------- Post added at 03:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

FRP means Factory Reset Protection. It's a new feature to forbid unauthorized phone reset or software modification (in your case, rooting since your phone was forced to unlock from a carrier). This is connected to your Google Account registered on your device.

Before rooting, removing your Google Account first from the device can prevent this from happening.

Anyway, didn't your phone ask you to enter your Google credentials after reboot? This is usually the first prompt you'll see if FRP kicks in.

Also, Note 5 from Smart (and Globe) are Dual SIM and you can just use SIMslot #2 since it is unlocked by default, so no need to have it unlocked by technicians.

[Galaxy Note5 General] redhax:
okay guys.. let me clear things up for you all..

got Globe Note 5 and openline - means you can insert any sim in 2nd slot. but no data unless it is Globe sim too.

sim1 = Globe (gsm+mms+data)

sim2 = Smart (gsm+mms) no data

to gain mobile data with other carriers - requires unlock.

tried rooting but doesn't resolve the issue. - i just lost my "fast charging" feature using the original charger. therefore, i reflashed a stock rom in sammobile to fix it.

idea - still digging from xda and waiting if lucky to get a chance of unlocking without a cost lol!

i will update if there would be a bright side of "free beers" lol
