My love for Note5?

This is so far the best phone I've used. After 1 day of using it, all the concerns before buying are gone!

Fingerprint magnet back panel - Just slap a non fingerprint magnet cover ( How many people don't use a phone cover? ).

Non-Removable Battery - With a little tweaking, my battery life is long enough for a daily use. Fast charging is really handy just 30 mins of charging gives your phone half day life!

Non-removable memory - Got myself a OTG cable, slap any USB storage for extra spaces!

Just love it :)

Coming from note 4, I love the screen and camera. Specially the note 5 is much faster than note 4. I am very happy with the update. I had issues with battery in beginning but the issue is gone. The looks of the phone are awesome. I always use a case but for this phone I bought Samsung clear case to keep the original form. Best phone ever :good:
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaleidgalaxy:
Also coming from Note 4. The screen is again better than in previous Note.. just love it. Camera, spen, overall speed - everything is so great. I used n5 ports on my old Note4 but now I know that it did not work as it should. With my N5 system just flies. And Im still non rooted. The design is also better. U can feel this premium look. It feels great in the hand. Fantastic device
[Galaxy Note5 General] kumbangdesa:
Is it stable for daily use or it just setup for running benchmark only?.. amazing result.. :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
It s stable AF! :D

The purpose of this tool is to easily measure distances from A to B. Perfect for measuring

floor plans, spaces to determine if something you have in mind would fit in there.

I have been considering rearranging my animal room as well as my daughters room. I was

planning on laying out the ideas to my girlfriend as a surprise. So couldn't enlist her

assistance with a tape measure. So I purchased this device as it can all be done on your

own!!

There are a few buttons, which can make things a little nervy. However I can assure you

once you've had a little play you'll have absolutely no issues getting the measurements

you're looking for! There is a large backlit LCD display to see the measurement. It is

as simple to use as a click of a button and point the laser to where you want.

Easy Handy Mandy DIY Tool

Overall I love this phone. The only issue I have with it is that Android pay gives me issues with root but that's not because of the device. Pro-tip, get a wireless charger or 2. Especially one in your car. don't expect to fully charge your battery on it but that little bit of trickle charge here and there will keep you topped off. Even just with my commute I'm able to come home to a 80% batter at night. It's well worth it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] runlsd:
I've had Android phones for a while. After a two month hiatus (iPhone 6), I got a Note 5. It's the best phone yet.

Display is excellent and the form factor is manageable for a big screen phone. The finger print scanner works well (better than iPhone 6 in my experience) and the camera is great - although I wish there was tap to focus and take photo. Don't have much input on Touchwiz as I use Nova. But good to have the flexibility of Android OS. Running stock ROM but recently rooted and running Arter kernel.
[Galaxy Note5 General] xcom923:
And that is how android works. People complain about stock launchers all the time but I don't understand that. I'd you don't like it you can just get something else
[Galaxy Note5 General] mr.abbas:
hi

its perfect phone ...I have used wide disparity of phones but , this phone is different...:good::good:
[Galaxy Note5 General] pcriz:
I'll start with my gripes since everything else the phone does is pretty much spot on so I would be telling you what you already know.

1. Stylus, I'm almost two months in and my stylus already broke. It came apart where the top portion meets the lower. It seemed like it was easy enough to fix with super glue but I think another portion fell out because the plunger doesn't work correctly so I cant just put it back in even if I glued it. I would say I am an average to heavy stylus user because I take all my work notes on my device using the pop text entry.. I have to be thankful this didn't happen while removing the stylus. I'd say if they were going to go with a design like this it would be a good fail safe to tether the plunger to the lower half of the pen so if it came apart the plunger would still pull everything out.

2. Removal of Always/Just Once functionality when selecting default applications. I alternate between an internal player and apps like Localcast for playing videos. Localcast throws the streams to my chromecast. Well some apps will set a default that you cannot deviate from unless making the cumbersome trek into settings to remove app defaults. So where as in the stock browser on my Note 4 I could select a movie and it would prompt to use one of the many renders, I would select either my internal movie player for Just Once use, or localcast for Just Once use depending on where I was. That functionality is in the Note 4 and as far as I know the s6. Why make android less functional.

3. Sometimes saving smart captured (stylus) screen shots to the gallery makes them unreadable for sending to people via MMS

4. Google Now Voice commands that would normally start without user interaction, don't actually start if you commanded them with the screen off. For instance if I say "Ok Google, start a ten minute timer". Google will respond that it is starting the timer and when I unlock the phone I will find that a ten minute timer was entered but never started. If you unlock the screen first it isn't an issue so small beans.

Most of my complaints are small beans truthfully. Battery life is by far better thn my Note 4. Love the screen and the speed of the camera and being able to launch from the home button is a Godsend. I am really happy that I caved and purchased this device.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
As an avid note 4 user who adamantly decided not to buy the note 5, alas I did. Why? Because the priv was not good enough, I was bored of my n4 and nothing else was remotely forthcoming.

Reason for not upgrading initially:

1 not available in the UK - idiots

2 no memory slot

3 no removable battery.

What have I found since buying a AE model 920c? THIS THING IS FRAKIN FAAAAAAAST!!!!

I may be sold on not having a memory card - but saying that 64gb is quite restrictive and Samsung needs to improve its memory sizes.

Battery life - its good. But I still cant change it grrr

This is a finger print magnet and looks horrid most of the time unless its cleaned up. Otherwise it equally looks amazing!!!!

Result - good verging on perfect if only it had a removable battery and SD slot! Will I keep it and sell the N4? OH YES
[Galaxy Note5 General] dtaylorr:
Upgrade through Best Buy

I was putting off this upgrade, as my previous Note, the Note 3 is working just fine and I was not looking forward to the $250.00 upgrade cost. I got an email from Best Buy with an offer for the upgrade only costing $49.99. :) I picked it up later that day and spent about 3 hours that night setting it all up.

Thoughts:

1- The new screen is so clear. I thought the Note 3 was great, this new Note 5 is soo much clearer.

2- The camera looks promising. As an ICL owner, I am very particular. While the camera on the Note 3 was good in daylight, don't ask for anything else. The camera on the Note 5 is very promising and even has 4k.

3- I am not happy about an SD Card slot not being available. :(

4- Mic Jack being on the bottom is great.

5- The "menu" button being replaced by the "recent" button is annoying. I have one app that has no internal menu tab, and is completely unusable. I much prefer the Note 3's layout, it will take some time to get used to.

Overall a great upgrade, minus the SD Card slot being removed and the soft key change.
[Galaxy Note5 General] GAPY427:
I like that case.

I was in the AT&T store about a week ago, looking for something to swap my iPhone 6S+ for. I was looking at the LG V10, and right across from it was the Note 5 (in gold) with its bright, colorful screen. I'll have to pay a restocking fee, but I don't care. It was sort of cool to be back in the iOS universe, but I'm missing Android. (I upgraded from the HTC M8, which I believed was a good phone.) The only hesitation I have is not being able to root the Note 5. I have faith that one of the many geniuses of XDA will break the code and allow us to root.
[Galaxy Note5 General] batarfihm:
I like my Note 5 everything looks good except I don't like the quality of voice call!
[Galaxy Note5 General] spg900ny:
Unfortunately, it seems many Samsung phones are cursed with terrible call quality.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
Nothing wrong with mine, maybe it's your network.

I'm on 3 in UK & it's spot on. Nothing wrong with the Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 General] spg900ny:
Not the network. As soon as we switched to Samsungs, call quality plummeted. Swishy voices. We've tried a dozen or more phones over the last few years between my family and friends. Motorolas seem to have the best call quality, but unfortunately T-Mobile hasn't passed many of them for their new spectrum here in the States.

Right now I'm using an LG and the call quality is in between the Samsungs and Motorolas, but would really like to switch to the Note 5. My wife is using a Galaxy Grand Prime right now and it's probably the worst of the lot so I'm a leery of going back to Samsung. I had a Note 2 that I could barely tolerate, and my family members said the call quality was much worse than my Nexus 4. I don't talk on the phone much, but when I do I want it to be 100% clear both ways.

I've also noticed some people are more sensitive to call quality than others as well.

We've tried turning on/off VoLTE (to drop back to HSPA for voice calls), turning off voice boost and noise reduction, etc. It seems to be the phones. All the Samsungs we had exhibited the same issues.

UPDATE: Well, I Jumped-on-Demand to the Note 5 today (from the LG V10) and I have to say this is the first Samsung phone I've used where I've been extremely impressed with the call quality, and that's without making any changes to the call settings.

Better than that, the phone itself is very impressive. TouchWiz is FAR less intrusive than I remember (I haven't seen any of my family members' phones for any length of time), and the feel is so premium. Love the glass back and the tiny bezels. The LG felt like a behemoth in comparison. Love this phone so far. The excellent call quality was certainly a nice surprise. I have been schooled. :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] audscott:
Well, I've been a closet sammy fanboy for the longest time, but proved it to myself with the acquisition of my note 5. I've had the s2, all the notes, lg g3, lg g4, nexus 5 and nexus 6. The original not was satisfying because of it's size. Performance wise, it was a clunker. All other notes seem to have a fluidity barrier. Nexus were OK and ROMs were fun, but lost there luster after a while.

Then note 5: It seemed everything I was looking for in other devices came to life. ROMs have been limited, but it's just so damned tweakable, that has not dampened my enjoyment. Quality wise, it's a work of art. I don't even miss a sd card or removable battery. Hell, I've gotten 13 hrs sot (both after I reeived and as recently as yesterday). It's totally the diamond of all devices.

To demonstrate my love of the note 5, I turned down the opportunity to buy a nexus 6p for fear that would supplant my note 5 time.

I'm truly a note 5 whore.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DrkNam:
The phone is good. However, Samsung still need to work on TouchWiz
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr.DL:
one thing bothers me, the touchwiz.

I just wish that samsung takes the stock Google's android and adds camera app+ S pen applications, and leave the rest to stock android.

That would make the Note 5 *which is a beast already* a more aggressive smartphones smacking machine.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rowihel2012:
note 5 great phone soo smooth and real fast with great power and great camera and boor battary

note 4 great for overheat and lag soo much not smooth at all
[Galaxy Note5 General] Teraclips:
after a couple of months with it, some random stutter here and there i gotta say this is the best phone yet i have ever owned. next upgrade for sure is another Note, only thing i dislike is the camera protuberance and the curvish body because the rhino shield doesnt fit perfectly (at least that's what they told me) and they didnt want to make a back tempered glass protector because it would look ugly
[Galaxy Note5 General] febanovsky:
This is my best phone ever. Cost me around 650€ but wort every penny.

Amazing display, fantastic build quality, probably the best camera on any Android device... Great job Samsung!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Gpettit1:
Lovin' it!

I've had my USCellular Note5 for about 6 weeks now and I have been very impressed by the power. I came from Moto RAZR HD Maxx, which had great battery life and tenacious cell connection. But Verizon in my area started to lose calls, miss texts, big delays in the network. When we were ready to switch, I wanted a flagship and I didn't want to wait for the latest Moto to come to USCellular nor drop full price for a Nexus. I took a chance on the Note5 and I am so glad I did.

The camera has been amazing, and the image stabilization surprised me. Low-light works great, and I've gotten some casual shots around my house or at my son's basketball games that I never could have gotten on the Moto. Also, if I left WiFi on with the Moto, it was picking up every home network between home and work, running down my battery. The Note5 seems to ignore those while I'm driving, and then just kicks in when I get to work.

Battery life has been surprisingly good. Coming from the 2-day battery life of the Moto, I was afraid the Note5's bigger screen and big but not huge battery might leave me hanging after a long day at work, but that hasn't been the case. I usually make it to bed with 30% or more left. However, just to make sure I make it there every day, I have gone with dark theme, use dark themes in most apps and keyboard, and use a mostly lack wallpaper. In general, it's easier on my eyes, and it tones down the Touchwiz look, as well as helping battery life. And the fast charging gets it back up to full speed in nothing flat. The Samsung wireless charger is crazy convenient on my desk.

Despite the large size, I don't really notice the bulk at all. It's a slim phone, and the bezels are small enough the keep the overall width easy on my pocket.

The display is amazing, too. The brightness and contrast blow me away. Being able to control the color intensity is nice, because I never liked the over-saturated colors of earlier Samsung phones. It killed me when I took a photo of my yellow lab in natural light, and it looked perfect on-screen.

So, yes, I'm loving the Note5.

I returned my NEXUS 6P for Note 5, i was wrong with nexus 6p, gaves me much more issues than my lovely note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Derpling:
What issues 6p gave u?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jhun80:
^sometimes i have no LTE signal. Also the build quality like the aluminum chasy got easily scratched. And too big.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pcriz:
I've never been a fan of the radios in nexus devices or the build. But at least when you had the Nexus 5 and earlier it could be excused because of price.
[Galaxy Note5 General] acm1108:
Thinking about returning my v10 for this phone. My only worry is in a few months the new Note 6 will come out.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ajorloo:

Are you here
[Galaxy Note5 General] pcriz:
Are you on the newest build for your variant? This function didn't become avaliable on my device until two builds ago. Currently the t-mobile is on Cok, it didn't work for me until Coj.
[Galaxy Note5 General] acm1108:
So, it's still worth it to buy this? Even though the leaked S7 info came out today.
[Galaxy Note5 General] pcriz:
Kind of hard to compare to a device that isn't out yet, with no specs locked in. I mean obviously you wait long enough you will end up seeing a new sammy device released so it falls more on what you are looking for and what your budget is. For instance people are still buy Note 4s because its not worth it to them to switch to the Note 5. I personally want an spen with my device so the s7 isn't even a consideration.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kopkiwi:
Picked up my Note 5 just before Xmas (24th) god dam this thing is awesome. VENOM ROM with Spacex Kernel are beautiful. Fast, smooth, not lag and insane battery life. The s-pen features are brilliant and the camera quality speakers for itself.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ajorloo:
Hi thank you for your help

I'm on n920cxxu2aoj5 . This build is for 3 months ago I'm waiting until new build release

Sorry for bad English
[Galaxy Note5 General] anwarabir:
I hope All Love This Phone

my favorite its 16 MP, f/1.9, 28mm, OIS, autofocus camera:p
[Galaxy Note5 General] pcriz:
Don't apologize. Your "bad" English is probably a thousand times better than me trying to speak your native language.

I think your functionality will be coming with newer builds, the 920T certainly did not have this ability at launch.
[Galaxy Note5 General] smeddy:
Some of us do like those features
[Galaxy Note5 General] Josh8550:
Just got it today... I thought I loved my One M8 but the Note 5?

10/10, would marry, have kids and listen to its day every night.

Best phone ever.

Pure heaven with a screen and glass back.

Did I mention I'd marry it?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
You re funny :)) but i totally agree!
[Galaxy Note5 General] ajorloo:
Hi finally last night sammobile released new build for n920c but yet direct pen in smart select is not
[Galaxy Note5 General] TAMARETTE:
I upgraded my Note 3 to my Note 5 about three weeks ago. I love it more every day. Mine is the gold/platinum 920T 64gb version and I couldn't be happier. The phone is easily the most gorgeous phone ever. And a few nice surprises really DID surprise me. The screen is amazing and my first big shock was the day after I received the phone. I had made a practice of sitting outside my condo on sunny days (here in Florida a sunny day is REALLY sunny!) and reading on my Note 3. Sometimes in direct sunlight it was nearly impossible to read. So the day after I got my Note 5, I went to sun myself and read as per usual. I had read that the Note 5 was far easier to read outside but I had dismissed those claims because every cellphone I've ever owned had made those claims about their new phones. Imagine my surprise when I sat down in bright sunlight and the screen was absolutely 100 percent readable! I didn't even have my brightness up all the way, and the screen was like night and day compared to my Note 3. I don't know how Samsung did it but it's absolutely amazing.

Other things that I've noticed is after a few weeks the battery life has really gotten a lot better. I just recharged my phone after using it for a day and ten hours. I guess the only thing I really miss from the Note 3 is the ir blaster. I have all my media that was on my SD card directly on the Note 5 and still have 35 gigs of space left.

I'm so glad I made the purchase.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Derpling:
I have the Note 5 ever since it launched, at the end of Aug 2k15, and it the best phone i ever touched, had sex with :0, played on, looked at, the only big downside for me is SD card missing, specially when u shooting 4k at 68MBPS or more... the file size is huge!!!

Also i hope Note 6 will bring at least 4000mah battery, as 3000 is way too low for QHD resolution heck even the A9 got 4000mah atm, other than that u can't really beat the Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 General] CISGS:
Came from a Nexus 6P

I am really blown away at how much better this phone is. Build quality seriously destroys the 6P.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
You re comparing huawei...with samsung :)) so of course. It s like coming from a wolksvagen to a lamborghini or ferrari :)) you will be blown away.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tamelion1117:
I don't want to come off as a hater of the Note 5, but there are some things that I miss about my note 4, like the IR blaster (which I used a lot when my kids would hide the remotes) and the use of an SD card. I love the display of the Note 5, the build quality and speed and overall performance of the device, but I wish they built it with a larger battery since you cant simply replace it with a fully charged one when it gets low. Battery life on the note 5 is a little lacking imo.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Stixxbixby:
Why did you make the switch?
[Galaxy Note5 General] CISGS:
My Nexus 6P chipped the 2nd week I had it.

I literally used it without a case for 2 days, never dropped it, and somehow the paint chipped. It also dented on the top-right somehow.

I switched because my brother bought the Note 5 and it just blew me away, as far as build quality and just overall quality. The 6P was good for mods (I used CM13 Nightlies) but the handset audio quality wasn't great, and it just did not meet my expectations.
[Galaxy Note5 General] assasin34:
what about fingerprint scanner?is it consistent?
[Galaxy Note5 General] SleemLDJ:
Very very consistent. I have my two thumbs registered so I can use either hands to unlock.

I don't try twice. It just unlockes straight away.

In fact, if my screen is off and i want to use the home button to wake, as i press the home button, I leave my thumb on it for 1 more sec and it unlocks straight away. Sammy really nailed it this time.
