Wondering if there is an alternative to the default Samsung Keyboard that allows you to send it as an sms message. Screen write takes a screenshot of the ENTIRE screen and you draw on the screenshot meanwhile the background of the phone is being shown. Is there a way to just send an sms of what you draw without converting it to text and NOT showing your entire phone background?

If you used the original Samsung charging cable that came with the phone and you tried all of your USB ports on your computer then it is most likely your phone's charging port. In which case you're going to have move the charging cable until you have a connection and then keep the phone still while doing the upload.

Only use the original Samsung charging cable that came with the Note 4 and lay the phone and cable on the table completely still until the upload is complete. You might try wiggling the charging plug while it is inserted into the phone to see if that is causing the issue. Be gentle, if it is already partly broken contorting it more will make it much worse.

I tried with the original cable and with 3 other cables, I have conection but it fails and is not the cable or the port because I try it with the original .tar and it worked in odim.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcoke:
Download the samsung usb phone drivers, install it (even if you installed it before), and only use that odin for that phone/device. I've noticed for whatever reason, Odin is very device specific (or so it seems for me) and because of that is very finicky. Make sure that your Odin has a Tmobile DLL in it also. Try different usb ports. My laptop has 4 ports, 2 of which are 3.0, I tend to have better luck on the 3.0 ports than the 2.0 ports, don't know why. Also best to make sure that the battery is above 70% when doing it, that seems to help also. In odin load the file first, then plug in your device to the pc, and finally run. I seem to have the best luck with that order. It tends to fail if I have my device plugged in ahead of times.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] LiquidCowbell:
Ok, I've looked through forums, threads here and there, Amazon, manufacturer sites, web searches... and my takeaway is that glass protectors for the Note 5 are a problem... in particular the protectors don't fully cover the screen (just the flatter part) and there are halo effects. The non-curvature issue can also cause dust to accumulate, apparently, by getting into the edges.

Is there, in fact, ANY really great tempered glass screen protector that does the job?? One that fully fits the curves along of the Note 5's screen, has non-sharp edges, and isn't a headache to install or otherwise deal with? I see the same type complaints whether the glass protector is inexpensive or at the high-price end.

I have a new Note 5 arriving next week, and I'd love to know which are the top choices. Or, because of the curved screen, front side, is this just a holy grail search never to be reached?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] malickie:
My guess is that once manufacturer's continue to get feedback they will fix the issue, but it will take time and feedback from consumers. The device is fairly new so I would say in about another month or so the issues Should, or so I would hope, be ironed out. If you cannot wait, I would suggest getting a case with a built in screen protector. Give Artech21 a jingle, they have a case with a built in screen protector, and I believe they are still looking for testers for their cases. I am going to be receiving mine whenever they ship. At the moment it seems like September 30th, at least according to Amazon, but I hope to get one sooner than later.

Either way, a decent case and being careful will go far to help deal with your screen until, either manufacturers fix the issues, or you can get a case with a built in screen protector.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Zorachus:
I bought the tempered glass screen protector at the T-Mobile store. Forget the brand, but came in a big green box, with a roller and bed like thing to put the phone in, and apply it dummy proof easy. It is on clear and zero bubbles, and can barely even see the protector whatsoever.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] xtrandrix:
Skinomi.com is where I purchased mine. Absolutely perfect for my Tab S so I made the purchase for the Note. Also perfect in every way! I paid around 7 bucks through ebay
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] avengethis1:
Using an ismooth thats is awesome. Zero halo on it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] malickie:
This is the screen protector your talking about http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...oll-on-kit-biodegradable-samsung-devices.html, Also cheaper direct through manufacturer by about $15. At any rate it looks like a good screen protector and very easy to apply. I may give it a shot once I get my device sorted out.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] sweteg:
The Zagg glass from Verizon is a perfect fit, but if you have to be insanely accurate. If you are, the results are amazing. I read on another thread that version Best Buy carries does not fit well so I went straight to Verizon. Yes it's pricey but worth it. I'm used to staying under $15 for a glass one for my last few purchases. I purchased 2 backups (different manufacturers) for $3 total from Amazon with coupon codes, but it's good to know I won't need them. Let me know if you need pictures.

edit: For the most part, halos are causes by wrong cuts or if you are off by a hair in either direction. If applied correctly with the right brand, it should cover 100% of the flat area before the curve.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] LiquidCowbell:
Thanks!

Pictures would be great!

Also... thanks everyone for the input so far! For the above-mentioned glass protectors, do they cover the curved part of the screen in a form-fitting way?

In the meanwhile, I've ordered from Amazon a couple of glass screen protectors as an inexpensive first step solution awaiting products that subsequently come out that may take advantage of user stories/input. The two are: (1) IVSO with lifetime warranty and (2) YooTech with lifetime warranty.

I also ordered three Note 5 cases from Amazon to try: (1) Spigen Air Cushion Slim Armor Case, Champagne Gold, model SGP11687; (2) Spigen Neo Hybrid Carbon Case, Gunmetal, model SGP11689; and (3) Urban Armor Gear Case, Black.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] sweteg:
Unless I have totally overlooked it, you won't find a protector that covers the curve in a glass form. It wouldn't be physically possible since the glass protectors do not have any bend/give at the ends to cover the edges of the screen.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] LiquidCowbell:
Looks to be possible

I wonder what might be the engineering reason for not producing a curved tempered glass screen protector. Cost perhaps? For example the screen itself is curved, why can't the protector be formed (molded in a sense) to mate to that? Search on "curved tempered glass" and you'll see that it is possible to create curved tempered glass.

Also, look up: "Cinder .2 mm Gorilla Glass Screen Protector for iPhone 6/6+" on YouTube (I'm new to XDA, can't post links yet!). This protector IS curved on the edges to follow the form of the phone. I'd love to see this for Note 5!

The Cinder is from Cupert. Check out Cupert (period) com.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] d.cortez:
i'm using this on my Note5, and so far, it's has the least amount of "halo" effect. probably .5 mm or less and barely noticeable unless you're looking for it; i can live with that for now. :) (see picture below) i used a T-Mo discount to purchase and have installed in the store. was told as long as i have my receipt they'll replace it if there's significant "halo".

EDIT: add picture
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] LiquidCowbell:
Is this a glass or plastic protector? Their website mentions, "Smooth as glass"

Zero haloing. It might look that way because of the angle I shot it (6 plus camera .. sadface)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] rdfry:

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] LiquidCowbell:
Mixed reviews + hope for the future

For all of the above-mentioned glass screen protectors, when I look at their Amazon ratings, I see overall a mixed set of reviews, primarily around halo issues and the screen not fitting enough of the Note 5's glass, and with some users having complaints about installation. My conclusions so far: that this represents what's currently on the market. However, presumably there's hope for a better product, e.g., a Gorilla Glass thin, sleek glass protector that curves to edges and fully form fits the entire screen, as is the case with the Cinder product made for the iPhone (in which instance the holy grail seems to have been found). We now know that this appears to be possible for a large curved device (see the Cinder references/web site I mentioned above).

My hunch is that a fully form-fitting glass protector would also provide better shock protection for the screen versus one that doesn't fully mate to the screen, curves and all.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] shouren04:
Can you confirm if it's actually glass? I was going to buy it (not from tmobile, $40 is robbery) but the "flexible" part is what threw me off. How can a tempered glass SP be flexible? The mfg website states that it's made of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET).

I was really satisfied (and still am) with my Ghost Glass protector frome Mime USA. They have two types of glass protectors, one which is 0.5mm thin (Ghost, the one I have), and the other one (feather) 0.15mm. I've had mine for almost two years on my Note 3 and only have a micro-scratch that's barely perceivable.

Well, I busted out the hairdryer on my latest sp and it worked to get rid of the halo. It took awhile to do, you have to heat it up section by section and hold it down until the adhesive cools off .

My Oneplus One is only a few months old and since it received the recent Cyanogenmod 12.1 (I think) update, it has gotten stuck at the loading screen that says powered by android. The only think I can do is booting into recovery mode and resetting factory data seems to do nothing as well. Anyway I can possibly fix this?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You could just try flashing the full 12.1 ROM with your stock recovery. You can grab it here:

Just use the "apply update" option in stock recovery.

Hey guys. So I just received my new smart watch today and I'm loving it! Wanted to start a thread about it asking if any of you have it so for. It's a pretty new watch and in the coming days hopefully I'll be posting some pics and vids.
[Other SmartWatches] ju__:
Got one of these a few weeks ago and so far:

Runs like a dream, considering it's size

Will run all the apps I have installed on it so far.

Will

not

let me put an SDcard in that is 32GB or 16GB will only work with the bundled 8GB card. So I assume this might be formatted differently (have not checked)

Cannot get GPS to work! Perhaps it is not using a standard "western GPS chip"?

Camera is ok, but no zoom and you have to put your wrist down otherwise you take a picture of your hand.

MAJOR ISSUE ! Battery Power ! Says it can work for 24 hours with light use. Ha Ha Ha Ha what a load of BS. Lucky if you get 7 - 8 hours out of the battery with 3G working (Skype and FB apps running in the background, no GPS on, no BT on and no WIFI on)

That is about it so far if anyone has any other info I would be glad to read, because there is didly squat online about this watch/phone :)

Another awesome feature that I found was that it has a BT notification app so you can sync it with your watch to receive notifications on it from your phone and basically use it as android wear which is what some imacwear users are dying for.

OK so I might have been quick to "diss" the battery power. Today the W9 has been going for 14 hour 26 mins so far :) I don't know if this is to do with the fact that the battery needed to "bed down" or because of the fact that I turned the back light to it's minimum setting? Well it is back to a middle setting so we will see what happens :) And is currently sat at 55% ..... we shall see.

Anyway more info :

The touch display, I would say, misses 5% of my "touching" but I do have problems with my moto g and it's touch screen, so I would say it will probably work for most people 100%.

What has surprised me, is that using a keyboard half the size of a postage stamp with a little finger which fills about 1/4 of the screen is quite accurate! Type the wrong letter, hit delete and then move the little finger to the right or left a millimetre or so and you have the right letter. Although typing like that takes ages. Solution ! Download the google keyboard and download your language of choice "offline version" and use speech to type, seems to work very well apart from the dual core chip working in overtime to keep up.

Back in a few days or hours with some more updates :) Just got GPS to get working!
[Other SmartWatches] ju__:
OK the battery problem is not due to wifi lol.

If you charge the battery while the phone is on it does not charge properly, or does not charge enough, don't know which?

If you charge the battery in the off state while it "flickers" on and off the animated battery icon, it seems to charge the battery completely(?)

Charged the watch yesterday afternoon, while on and got 6 hours out of watch before it switched off. Charged it last night while in the "off state" and it has currently been running for 14 hours!

So if you want to get a full charge from your watch battery charge it while shutdown :)

[Other SmartWatches] qasimala:
Interesting info!

That's some interesting info on the battery life. Personally I leave the wifi and data connection off so at the end of the day I still have about 60 % battery remaining. I have managed to get the phone rooted and am looking to explore further. I bought the product at everbuying.com for $140. Compared to all the other smart watches this is the best bang for the buck because of the 1 GB ram and 8 GB ROM at such a low price. If you want I can do a video review of it and post it up.

I did install google keyboard and I love the gesture typing but for some reason I can't get the voice input to work. When I go to settings there isn't even an option for voice input in languages and input. I do have the mike button on my keyboard however its not working for some reason. when I click on it nothing happens.
