[Galaxy Note5 General] CodeNameRedNeck:
I know my Note 3 gets a better signal and more speed than my Note 4 and Note 5. I am on AT&T and the Note 3 is an AT&T branded phone where the 4 and 5 are international versions.
[Galaxy Note5 General] movielover76:
I'm very satisfied with it's LTE reception, it's a little better than my wife's GS6 which tends to drop the connection before mine.

I'm on T-mobile so dropping LTE when in a big building does happen from time to time, but that's true on every phone I've used on T-mobile in NJ.

Seems to beat my nexus 5x as well.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Verizon LTE in chicago is fast, very fast and reliable. I'm usually the envy of all my buddies when you all meet up. Tmobile service weak, sprint even worse and AT&T, none of my friends have ATT. Most are on Tmobile or sprint. I'm the only SMART one that has Verizon. So let's get this out of the way, the verizon commercials are true. The service, signal, speed and strength are living up the the verizon commericals about being #1 and their expensive as well. I wanted the fastest and I'm getting what I pay for. O Hare airport, Xspot fitness, Rockford, suburbs, down town chciago and wher ever I go , Verizon backs up their cockiness. Except when I'm at work. But hey, you can get the greatest all the time right? :D

[Galaxy Note5 General] sorphin:
I have a TMO Note 5 came from an S5 and the Wifi seems to not hang on as well for me, regular use is fine, but too weak for the wifi calling. The s5 didn't seem to have the issue. I'm going to hit up tech support and see if maybe it's just my Note 5. (I have seen 2 identical phones side by side but different signal strengths). It's only the 5Ghz though and doesn't matter which Channel.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Yes, the range, signal quality actuallay spped of wifi strength was AWFUL when I first got my phone, but a few updates to lolipop and it was working exccellent. Good wifi signal, speed and no drop out. However, Since I've been on Marshmallow, I almost see no performance change. That could be good or bad because I was expecting more on the more recent updates after Marshmallow. I have no complaints here cause I don't use wifi when I'm at work but wifi is awesome at home, the gym, moms house and every where in between. How can a big cell phone company make a phone that has terrible wifi signal strength and speed?
[Galaxy Note5 General] InteliDroid:
I've mainly been using LTE/4G as I'm on an Unlimited data plan but when I connect to WiFi the speeds are awesome and my internet speed is 100mbps and I get around 70-80mbps via WiFi on my Note 5. Strength is great also where I'm still connected at the end of the house compared to my dad's iPhone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Nice to have an unlimited data plan, I just joined verizon a little too late to be grandfathered in. But it's nice to see the Juggernaught 5 is an amazing and fast phone :D
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrysense:
At least, I think that's the problem. After trying to flash a newer SO-01G_NTT DoCoMo JP_1290-5930_23.1.B.1.160 on my phone with Flashtool (v0.9.19.1) Windows 8.1, all it does is boot to the SONY logo, then proceeds to say "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again." This only happens again and again afterwards..

During the flashing process, it seems all fine and dandy until it comes to the system.sin part, finishes and results in an error. It seems to me that according to the log from Flashtool, the program is loading it into the phone but the phone is rejecting it or something? Could it be that there is not enough space left on the phone to flash another rom?

Ive tried alternatives to this Flashtool, including Emma and PC Companion. But because the phone naturally has a locked bootloader that cant be unlocked due to the previous carriers restrictions (NTT DoCoMo).

Thanks in advance?! :fingers-crossed: :)

Surprised that there have been no replies, since the phone has been out for the past 9 months. Actually, as I'm tryping this it's no surprise than is it. Verizon + chicago region area coverage + Juggernote 5 = a damn good conversation. Call quality is excellent in MOST places I go in Chicago EXCEPT at work. I only have 3g. But everywhere else is awesome. Call quality is fantastic, based on those on the receiving end of my phone call. I use normal phone call, google hangouts, messenger call and snapchat. In door, outdoor, mall, gym 294/290/94 or 355 no complaints from my contacts. :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] cahiatt:
I just picked up a Note 5 the other day. So far I've been very impressed with the sound quality on my end. My father mentioned he was able to hear me much better also. Made a 45 minute call to my boss at work and didn't get dropped this time around. Seemed my last G3 and Nexus 5 would always disconnect me 30 minutes or so into a call when at home. Haven't dropped one yet on this Note 5.

So far I'm impressed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Welcome to the club, please enjoy your new Juggernote 5. I wish it had the sd card and removable battery. But we have fast wireless/wired charging to make up for it. And for me, I got myself the 64gb model. It's more than enough for me. I had the note 3 with 32 gb and never got close to filling it up :D

[One (M7) General] Honest989:
A few weeks ago, I unlocked my HTC one. In the process of following an old step-by-step tutorial, I soft bricked the thing but in the following 10 hours (with very little sleep) I learned A LOT about custom recovery and available roms. I still don't know a lot about S-OFF, achieving that state and what benefits it brings me.

Quick disclaimer.. someone's signature round here highlights that this forum is not called xda-overly-entitled-users. Hopefully I don't come off sounding like that.

In order to get back up and running, I flashed a ROM very similar to my stock. It worked well but I felt that I wasn't being ambitious so I flashed to another fairly well known rom.

Now that I've got that to roughly where i like it, I realised that all I'd done was flash a new ROM and then customise it with millions of apps to look and act like my stock rom which was as near as perfect across the smart phone industry.. Further, aside from xposed and root cloak, I've not really done anything that actually required a root - i could have installed most of this stuff on my stock rom.

So.. what am I missing. As a more enlightened user, what is it that I should be messing about with that made the effort worth it. I feel like I'm not taking advantage of the situation.
[One (M7) General] dd98:
To put it simply, s-off basically removes those pesky restrictions HTC put on the phone to stop you changing the hboot/radio/etc and from flashing a different RUU like GPE, that is what s-on is. Luckily when I got my HTC One in July last year I got s-off when Firewater still worked but unfortunately, that was the last free s-off method. Now you have to pay about €22 or £16 or US$25 depending on where you are for Sunshine s-off. Firstly, this is a very steep price to pay just for s-off. I wouldn't mind paying between €5-€10 but no way would I be willing to pay €22 for s-off and second, I think it is wrong that we are being charged for a tool that was previously free and I morally object to it. Don't get me wrong, these developers have done great work but I feel that making you pay for the one and only s-off tool we have with such a high price is monopolisation of sorts. Sorry about that, rant over! If you are really desperate to gain the ability to change your firmware then by all means go for the s-off but if you dont see the need for changing firmware, then stick to s-on

[Galaxy Note5 General] xdathekilljoy:
Agreed. 2nits is none the less very dim. But the S5 and I believe the Note 4/S6....At least the S5 went as low as 1 nit. So half lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Ok, just to be honest, the miniium brightness was bright on this phone when it was on jellybean 5.1.0. However, since the update to marshmallow 6.0.1, the new min brightness is WAY too low. Even when you adjust the autobrightness slider, the sensor still is picking up way too LOW. Too bad, one of the weakness of this phone :(

[Galaxy Note5 General] No Username Left 2 Choose:
Videos appear quite grainy, even if they are 720p or 1080p. In some cases I can see dancing grains. Sometimes the colours burst/blow up for pictures/photos taken from different device or websites.

I had similar issues with Galaxy Tab-S, which was even worse in video and picture quality. My older Note-3 on the other hand is giving crystal clear image.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.DL:
Great job with dat display Samsung.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Video appears grainy? Could it be the source? I'll give you an example. If you watch the film Green Zone, the source of the blu ray transfer from film is heavy amount of grain. NOT the phone's fault. I know this is NOT a HDTV forum, or maybe we should start one for video/audiophiles. Just because it's grainy, doesn't mean it's the phones fault. I've seen films like Sucker Punch, where the film is low grain on the film source, before the transfer to blu ray. But it's my cents about it. Either way, it looks fantastic on this phone. :D

YEs they did a fantastic job on this display. The clarity and resolution is very good. I'm not using displaymate or THX app or programs to do this testing. Just watching youtube vids, high quality Blu ray films, twitch, Netflix and alike. The screen on the note 3 was good. On the note 5, its beautiful to watch :D
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Percius:
I am looking for a tablet that I can hack for some home control applications. In particular this device looks like a good candidate as it is about the same cost as a WiFi thermostat and far more capable.

So 2 basic questions... 1: Are there any underutilized GPIO pins that were broken out of the CPU BGA that I can access with a fine tipped solering iron? This is commonly done so that in circuit board tests can validate that there are no solder bridges.

2. Does anyone have a I2C map to know which addresses are utilized, and as an extension to this, know how to make requests on that I2C buss.

I am sorry I know these are very broad questions. I am looking to turn this into a total home control panel including thermostat. So basically for this task I am trying to get GPIO (Preferably 3.3 or 5V) that I can use for some fets to control HVAC, and some I2C lines that I can use to dead-bug in humidity, temp, pressure, ambient light sensors, and IR motion sensor.

I will post a writeup complete with wiring and code if this works out.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
P,

neat question, how do i go about getting i2c map? are you working with t53x t33x or t23x ?

hardware hacking would probably be a better section for this, or stack exchange though.

can that be found in kernel source? drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-qup.c or the like?

I'm trying to flash the latest /bacon nightly zip file on top of the stable cm12.1 with TWRP 2.8.6.0 and I'm getting an error that said cannot install this and advice me to do a factory reset instead. What do I do wrong?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
What exactly are you trying to flash over the top of? When you say stable do you mean the stock ROM (Cyanogen OS 12.1)? If so, you can't do that, they're different ROMs. When going from the stock ROM to a nightly (or vice versa) you need to wipe properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) first.

Even in the adaptive mode, the color spectrum looks beautiful. As a test, I played a Blu Ray movie file on my phone. I used House of flying daggers are reference. The beginning of the film, the peonoyhouse brothel has Millions of colors in the mall lobby and mail hallway. especially as the camera pans throughout the brothel and up until the Cashew challenge. No complaints here. Youtube vids, snapchat, messenger vids look fantastic. So does Netflix, twitch and HBO go. The boys of entourage never looked so good on a 5.7 inch screen juggernote 5 :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishal333:
Hello guys.

This is my first thread on XDA and I am really excited about it. :o

My query is, can we flash any stock OS via a recovery.

For example I am a N900 user, installed stock KK via Odin, rooted and then installed CWM recovery. Then I installed Nandroid and created a full backup of my ROM(Stock KK with superuser and nothing else)

When I am using any other ROM like Pekaka 6 or Dr. Ketan's L23(with LP bootloader) and when I try to restore my backup via recovery or CWM it's not letting me to restore my backup.

And when I am using any KK based ROM like K14 or alba19986's Ultralite ROM then it's allowing me to restore my backup.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirobelec:
You replied to your question yourself.

Different bootloaders allow different Android versions. For KK ROM you need KK bootloader, for LP ROM you need LP bootloader. And different modems, as well.

And more importantly, KK and LP need different sizes of the system partition, and to change the size of the system partition, you need a .pit file for that. If you want to play with .pit files, be prepared to read A LOT, because flashing a wrong .pit file (through Odin) may very well brick your device, and naturally, this is not a desired outcome.

And for switching between major Android versions, you need to read even more. :D

I'm about to pass out, so just read some threads here in the general Note 3 forum, they aren't hard to find.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishal333:
Thank you so much, obelec for clearing my doubt in a beautiful way. :)

By the way what if I am on LP based ROMs and I am preforming full wipe, rebooting in download mode, installing KK bootloader and rebooting again in CWM then trying to restore the backup?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note5 General] TachyonGun:
Simply phenomenal, infinite contrast and plenty of shades of grey, more so than in the Note 4 from what I see side-by-side.
[Galaxy Note5 General] snbalm:
Well, note 5 would express true black and darkness well. But...

I noticed right 1/3 side of my note 5 display looks darker than other side of display.

So, I went to CS center and heard it's not defect because it's what it is! Unbelievable...

Anyway, I exchanged for a new one though I heard and heard that it's not a defect and he(an engineer of CS center) won't exchange for this problem again if it's more severe.

And now I agree his opoinion that it's what it is though there're differences of degree.

Now my note 5 looks better than previous one.

I checked some other note 5 and they have this problem more or less.

I admit I'm somewhat sensitive that most of people didn't noticed this.

But referring him, there were people who reported this problem.

What I'd like to say is that note 5 may not be able to express contrast well consequently though it's AMOLED display.

And it seems better you don't buy galaxy note 5 if you are sensitive like me and really Samsung think this is not a problem like he said.

This is so late review since I bought this phone late..
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
I do watch alot of video on this phone. Netflix, youtube, messenger, snapchat, twitch etc. True blackness isn't as deep black and incky like your modern LCD HDTV, but for a 5.7 inch screen device, it's pretty awesome. House of cards, twitch video streams, youtube HD and top gear are just examples of good quality contrast and true blackness media that I watch. No complaints here. The histrogram in my opinion on this phone is very good. You can see the deepest grays, blacks and the brightest whites.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daps:
Hi guys. I've been out of the android game a little bit so I'm lost and my son is wanting a Galaxy S6 Edge.

His mom(doesn't stay with us) said she was going to get him one for his birthday, well that looks like it may not happen now

so I think I'll bite the bullet and buy one for him. Good kid, good grades, stays out of trouble.

I'm on AT&T in the US and trying to figure out which variant I should get.

Should I just bite the bullet and go the AT&T store route using Next or I should I buy an international version and be ok?

Would he miss out on anything like Visual Voicemail going with an International version? There will be no rooting or any other flashing done to the phone.

I see G925F, G920F and G925I on ebay and Amazon in the $600 no tax and free shipping range vs $720 + tax at AT&T

Which one would you guys recommend and if I should go ebay, amazon or at&t?

I thought about getting the international and throwing it on a new no interest card for 12-15 months and going that route vs ATT Next. Seems like I would save about $200 although going to the store I could pick it up and make sure it doesn't have bad pixels before walking out the door. I need to run the numbers

Thanks
