Got mine a few weeks back now and its still running great. I love the phone and would definitely recommended anyone to go ahead and buy one if they are thinking about it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bigup7:
Ordered a 64gb 920c from mygsm today. Looking forward to receiving it :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] equi:
Anyone bought from mygsm and paid extra custom fee etc??
[Galaxy Note5 General] TechAnimal:
I bought from ebay and had to pay 20 quid.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ic12:
Just to say that my Note 5 ordered from t-dimension on ebay arrived 5 working days after ordering, shipped from UK. Very good service and very good price.

920C model and working on EE with 4G. Not tested everywhere yet so I can't really say whether it works on all bands but no reason to doubt it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jmcc26:
I just got myself an imported N920W8 (canada model) works perfectly well and 4G on o2 UK. This was from ebay
[Galaxy Note5 General] sparkyxda:
Mine sat in Bahrain for a while before moving on to Heathrow

Yep, £90

Did you ask them to mark the parcel as gift and lower value?
[Galaxy Note5 General] kedge:
Anyone used a seller on Ebay imobile_uk

Bought a 64gb n920c from them but the tracking reference doesn't find any info, it is a uk royal mail sd ref?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
Wait till Monday and see the reference returns tracking data. I'm keen to hear about the 64gb version of the N920C. What colour- silver?
[Galaxy Note5 General] kedge:
Yeah silver model
[Galaxy Note5 General] goody_23:
i am looking for a n920c 64gb also i have the 32gb version ..so let us know how it is kedge....I didnt even know there was a 64gb version
[Galaxy Note5 General] TechAnimal:
Oh there is for sure. It's the 64gb silver n920cd that doesn't exist. I saw the 64gb n920c but decided I needed dual sim more than band 20.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BaZ87:
fonis have the 64gb silver n920c in stock for £555.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kedge:
Still nothing showing on tracking and all I get in replies to my emails is wait another day?

Avoids question why the tracking info isn't valid, useless.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
Well, today I joined the SM-N920C club. Sold my SM-N9208
[Galaxy Note5 General] TechAnimal:
How come?
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
I didn't need dual sim & I felt that because it didn't have band 20 i'd be missing out on some bandwidth.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaleidgalaxy:
Any news? I was going to buy silver 64gb from them. Today they answered me that 64gb ver will be available from tomorrow. But I have some doubts...
[Galaxy Note5 General] kedge:
Got it this morning after the tracking went live last night, lovely looking phone and all good, comes with fast UK charger to.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Bigbottomend:
Sounds good, i've just ordered one.

Just bought a N920C 64GB in Silver from ebay seller imobile_uk. [MENTION=3065293]kedge[/MENTION] - how long did yours take to arrive from ordering on eBay until it was delivered to you? Also what method was it delivered i.e. DHL or Royal Mail Special Delivery or standard 1st or 2nd class?

Can't wait to play around on this, currently rocking a Samsung Galaxy SIII which ive had since 2012 and its served me so well but the time has come to upgrade!
[Galaxy Note5 General] kedge:
4 working days to arrive and royal mail special delivery was used.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
5 days DHL - Had to pay duty in Germany
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaleidgalaxy:
Duty in Germany you mean after buying in imobile_uk? How much duty fee?
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
Sorry my bad, i bought from Mygsm
[Galaxy Note5 General] Kaleidgalaxy:
Ah ok. Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Well I know this is a little bit silly but I've bought the silver 64gb phone you guys linked on ebay and I'm looking to sell my gold n920cd 32gb. Pm me if anyone is interested or this is going on ebay tomorrow!

I'm asking 460£ with some accessories thrown in (2 cases and a preapplied screen protector.) if you're in central London.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Bigbottomend:
Only ordered my N920C 64gb yesterday and just got a tracking number for Royal Mail 2nd class signed for, should have it in 3 days.

That's with imobile_uk on ebay

FYI.....

[Galaxy Note5 General] Bigbottomend:
It's a N920C and from what i've read on here then it will work on EE. Thanks for the info though.

EE use:

800MHz(band 26) for 4G

1800MHz(band 3) for 2G and 4G

2100MHz(band 1) for 3G only

2600MHz(band 7) for 4G

The phone i've bought (N920C) covers:

Cellular Band (4G LTE):	LTE B1/2/3/4/5/7/8/12/17/18/19/20/26

I think it should be fine :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note5 General] kedge:
I got that model from them mate, after a panic when tracking number wasn't showing I did received it in 4 working days via special delivery and it also works fine.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Didsbury:
Ordered 920C from MYGSM.ME

I took the plunge last week (Wednesday 28th) and ordered the 32Gb 920C in black from the above.

I paid for it on Thursday and received a tracking number on Thursday night. This was not active till Sunday.

In the meantime I tried contacting them by email and chat, but I got no accurate information.

On Sunday it was sent from Dubai to Kuwait and then to Bahrain.

On Monday I received the dreaded request for money from DHL for duty and VAT, £41.00 the total. I paid that as soon as I received it.

It stayed Bahrain until Yesterday (Tuesday).

It then went to Heathrow, East Midlands depot, Manchester Depot and finally it was delivered to me on tonight (Wednesday) at 5 o'clock.

Quite a palaver and then on opening it, I find it has come with a 2-pin plug. Oh well!

Believe it or no I'm very pleased all in all, It could have come quicker, not had the duty/VAT added and had a UK plug, but that's life.

Now I'm charging it in a shaver socket plug.

This post is really to inform people that It might take a while and be a little bit more expensive than they first thought but it is worth it.:D
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
EE has the most bands in use so the N920C and CD will be okay as will the N9208, N920G and N920i
[Galaxy Note5 General] woolytoon:
Silver N9200 owner for 2 months from Gadget monocle - 5 star service - genuine UK Sammy charger. 4G working fine with EE, as expected, no 4G with Tesco or Giffgaff (O2).

I've ordered from imobile_uk

Did your 64gb silver note 5 come with UK plugs?

Can you advise what CSC it shipped with?

Did you get it sealed in box (he says he opens boxes to "Check")

and lastly.. i got my shipping number this AM.. you think i'll get this by Friday (or will it realistically be Monday?)

Cheers :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] bigup7:
interesting this, i ordered from mygsm (N920c 64GB) on Saturday 31st October, payed instantly by CC, got DHL tracking Saturday night, phone was sent out Sunday, got to Heathrow Monday 2nd Nov, had to pay £41 customs aswell, they put 900 AED on the package

then it went to Manchester depot on Tuesday 3rd November where it said awaiting to be delivered on the agreed date of 6th Nov! (not sure who agreed this date)

so yesterday i went to the Manchester Airport DHL depot to collect it (i live around the corner)

funny thing is Mygsm got the postcode completely wrong so im lucky it actually arrived at the correct delivery depot

total worked out to be £520 with all credit card conversion and none sterling fee and customs, not bad i guess.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jrisch:
How are you managing warranty or just taking the risk? I sent a message to imobile_uk asking about warranty and their reply was "No warranty, we provide 30 days return.". I doubt Samsung UK will provide any warranty, the warranty is in the source country.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bigup7:
Mygsm said had to post back to them for warranty. Found prices and its only around £17 to post to dubai via courier.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
Which courier is that with, just in case mine goes faulty?

Shame because it is an impressive phone.

Mygsm managed to corrupt my address and postcode too. Fortunately dhl rang me to get the right address. Shows the importance of providing a phone number.

Side note, ordered my N920C off of eBay. 64GB Silver model for £489. Hopefully it has a nice screen, none of the old Note 4 pink gradient crap.

This was after my first 2 nexus 6Ps had dodgy bottom speakers. I figured if im gonna get a phone that comes with 2 speakers but only one works, whats the point in having it when I could just get a better phone with 1 speaker for the same price?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Bigbottomend:

Nope, just a 2-pin.

Mains charger model?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Samsung-G...950096?hash=item51db153110:g:DzcAAOSw5ZBWN4XQ[/QUOTE]

Yes, mine was a 920c 32Gb.

The reason I have asked for the charger model number is that the 2-pin supplied reports "fast charging" while the EP-TA20UWE 3-pin I bought off e-bay was not.

However it looks like I wasn't looking in the right place and I'm now happy with it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BaZ87:
I bought from him and at least 2 others I know of. Ordered on the Thursday night and it arrived the following Friday with no problems.

He might fob you off, pretending it's been shipped earlier than it actually has if you ask him for tracking details - I'm not sure why he does this as he delivers well within the expected delivery time.
[Galaxy Note5 General] helloworld:
The warranty is 1 year right?
[Galaxy Note5 General] BaZ87:
Who knows. He advertises 1 year warranty but whether he sticks to it is anyone's guess. Touch wood mines not broke yet so I've not had to put it to the test.

I've not really dealt on ebay enough to know whether they can or will do anything to make sure the warranty is honoured.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Super Chimp:
Do all the C models we get in the UK originate from the UAE, that's where mine is from?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Mine is from a Hong Kong importer and the unit is a UAE unit. I kept the csc because it has all the European languages
[Galaxy Note5 General] bigup7:
My c from mygsm is UAE, and they will honor warranty but have to post phone to them as its only valid there.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ryya:
Ordered from Fonis, Silver 64gb 920c, waiting for it to turn up. Fingers crossed.

Hi guys, Is anyone with 4g working on o2 able to send me their apn settings?

I bought a n920c (uae) to use my o2 sim in and whilst 3g is working fine I can't seem to get 4g working! I have tried resetting the apns and ensuring that it's set to pick up lte connections but have had no success getting it working, even though band 20 is available on the n920c.

Edit: Turns out o2 had incorrectly set up my data bolt on for a blackberry device rather than android! 4g now working without issue!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ryya:
Received today, no extra charge. I can recommend Fonis

[Galaxy Note5 General] gfreek:
I was little apprehensive ordering from imobile_uk on ebay but with the positive feedback from here I took the plunge ordered N920C 64GB Titanium Silver on Monday 9th and just received it today, fantastic item was as described brand new boxed they only opened it to put in UK 3 Pin power plug.

Thank you xda and imobile. happy days. :)

Also not sure if Samsung have modified the hole for the s-pen because now if you try to insert the s-pen wrong way it will not go in easy unless you use bit more force then maybe it will go in anyway I'm happy.

Why do you recommend n920c my man?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Please read the thread. He already answered your question
[Galaxy Note5 General] marvi0:
Dude am trying to get the opinions of different people about the phone if you cannot contribute let those who can do so.
[Galaxy Note5 General] apd:
What he was politely telling you is that this same question has been answered hundreds of times on this thread and in the other UK thread, with loads of helpful answers from different people.

In answer to your question, to summarise, the 920C has all the bands you require in the UK for the main carriers and, if you look around on the development part of XDA, you'll see that it is supported on all the development kernels and Roms

If you want dual Sim, use the 920 CD. However, many developers are not developing the dual Sim aspect so if you want a custom ROM oor kernel you may be left with only single Sim support
[Galaxy Note5 General] 1980aksoy:
For 920c you get most of lte network bands

C version always Samsung 's main device,better developer support, better kernel and mostly important one is works any UK Ireland and Europe lte networks ,

Of course it's region lock free

I get one from middle east http://www.mygsm.me/home.php?mobile_mode=subcategories

I'll have to get a refund on mine sucks. Issue with the screen having a smear under the glass in low brightness conditions on dark backgrounds. Now that I can see it it's distracting and a flaw of the device. Will you keep you updated.

Is there some sort of support group for people who have chipped the side of their note 5 :_(

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

Just wanted to let you guys know I ordered the note 5 mont blanc hard case from mont blanc germany for 85£. It is really beautiful and goes well with the silver titanium. The feel in your hand is excellent and it fits very snugly. The unfortunate thing is.. The leather stops wireless charging or AFAIK card reading.

I will likely keep it as the look and feel really is that good.

It's still in stock as a Web exclusive and makes your note 5 look really sharp
[Galaxy Note5 General] apostroph3:
I'm considering ordering a black Note 5 from Mygsm. Though what I'd prefer buying from a UK seller, obviously. My question is: Why is the 64gb Black Sapphire in very short supply in the UK? Hardly one on Ebay/Amazon/Gadget Monocle/etc.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
Maybe they sell out so quick, it's such a great device
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
Pictures?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Will post some tomorrow of the phone in a case.

Wanted to correct and say wireless charging and nfc works fine through the leather.

Hi Guys, sharing pics of the Montblanc note5 alligator print hard case Web exclusive. I really like it, it's a funny amount of money but I plan on keeping this 64gb note 5 for a few years so I'm happy with it. Fits very snug and leather feels fantastic in hand.

I bought it from Montblanc UK website directly. It shipped from Germany in two days.

Those prices are too good...you know what they say if something looks too good....
[Galaxy Note5 General] hmsq:
Considering they don't have much details apart from a accountant address as their office, the company secretary is also a director in various companies registered last year, which btw they all have skip in their name, and also seem part of waste management.

[Galaxy Note5 General] apostroph3:
Ok so I have a friend in Hong Kong who's willing to ship me the Note 5 as a gift.

But one thing I don't understand: VAT and duty charges. Apparently I have to pay 2.5% of its value, which I'm okay with. But do I have to pay VAT as well? I read things up on the internet and tried calling DHL but they've put me on hold for so long I give up (there goes 7p per minute)!

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Does that include customs/VAT/whatever charge?
[Galaxy Note5 General] 1980aksoy:

But you my pay custom duty to DHL

I paid 74 euro
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
I understood mobile phones to be exempt from customs duty but we still have the VAT cost on receipt to the UK.

Anyone who got their Note 5 from Mygsm have you had this update?

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/58782/N920CXXU2AOJ5_N920COJP2AOJ5_LYS/
[Galaxy Note5 General] markyboy81:
Although the N920C version supports the 800mhz frequency, does anyone know whether Three UK are actively sending the update to these phones that apparently is required to access the 800mhz frequency and/or VOLTE? If the note 5 isn't strictly speaking available in the UK, my worry is that Three won't bother sending out the update? I previously had the s6 and this did have the VOLTE symbol in the notification panel when I accessed 4g,however so far haven't seen this with the note 5. Anyone else know whether we will get it?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
I received an update. For unlocked devices I think updates are from Google Play Store.
[Galaxy Note5 General] markyboy81:
From Google play store? Really? I thought they would be OTA updates direct from the carrier? In another thread I've been told that I won't get an update as don't have 3 firmware.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
I've received updates on my N920CD.
[Galaxy Note5 General] gavinfabl:
Has anyone had any issues so far with their imported phones with any apps? With Samsung Pay coming next year, I wonder if Samsung will sell the Note 5 official in the UK? Doubt it but can only be hopeful.

Only gold version is 100 more .

Other colours still same price
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
Had one from imobile on eBay and had a faulty screen the return procedure was smooth and refunded within 48 hours of sending it back. I've reordered it from Mygsm today and hopefully have it in a few days. Been using the Nexus 6P last few days whilst a good phone I prefer the Note 5 I hate the back placement of the finger print scanner as the headphone jack is on the top so taking the phone out when listening to music is never in the natural position like the Note 5. Can't wait to have the Note 5 again. Returning the 6P unfortunately just didn't get on with it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
Gavin the main issues are with working out which Note 5 variant covers O2 and Vodafone LTE bands. The issue has been identifying reliable sellers abroad and on eBay. Looks like variant N920c and N920G are very popular as are the DUOS equivalents. The N9200 and N9208 seem to work okay on EE as well other variants. The final issue has been colour and memory capacity. For example the N920CD 64gb in Silver seems to be a unicorn ☺
[Galaxy Note5 General] apostroph3:
I've came across other reports of screen problem. I'm a bit concerned. What's wrong with yours?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
Mine had a pink hue across the bottom and a nasty line behind the glass which could only be seen in low light in dark backgrounds which was annoying. As seen in pics.

Pics here of the line:

The Nexus 6P I have at the moment has a horrible yellow tint across the screen like someone has spilt coffee over it. Amoled screens are a lottery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] anglerstock:
Every Samsung phone has that issue. Best way to test is to get in a dark room, set up a dark wallpaper on the phone and see the lines it has. Very annoying.
