No, started working the night before I think.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dan24591:
Ahhh! Glad you got your tracking info. Still got nothing myself. I have been messaging them but they still say that they don't have it yet. What courier are they using? I've asked them 3 times now and they still haven't told me. Really hope mine gets here tomorrow.
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
RMSD tracking only kicks in once the PO courier collects it and it's inputted to their system

However, it should so soon after that it's been accepted by the PO and it'll then update from there!

If it's an independent courier (DPD etc); then the tracking usually starts 0800 the morning after

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
Thanks - yea I had the RMSD tracking number emailed to me yesterday about 6am so had hoped it would have been with RM later that day. Its still not updated on the tracking site now so can only assume it will be collected later today or tomorrow?

Was hoping I'd have it the day after getting the tracking number but I guess they don't have a daily collection? Just me being impatient - although I'm not sure they should communicate an item has despatched until it actually has ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
Phew. Updated now and on its way - due by 1pm tomorrow. Can't wait :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Good! Told you it'd update :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
All collected and set up - pleased indeed :) Feels just the right size after my Nexus 6. Going to see if I can stay with stock launcher for a while now[emoji14]
[Galaxy Note5 General] dan24591:
Got my tracking number from t-dimension, but hasn't updated since Wednesday where it says "Manchester - Your parcel is on the way". Really hope it's here today. Sick of waiting.
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Nah; stick Nova or Apex launcher on it ;)
[Galaxy Note5 General] dan24591:
Contacted DPD regarding the tracking information not updating since Wednesday, and they tell me that all they've received is the order information but not the actual item. Brilliant. I hope this is an error on DPD's part from not scanning the item correctly, but it has been nothing short of frustrating with t-dimension and that's not including their flat-out terrible communication.
[Galaxy Note5 General] theloginwithnoname:
I went back to Apex after one day of stock!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Well I've just ordered the 920CD titanium silver version from the imobile_uk seller; fingers crossed it'll land me with this time next week as he stated it's usually 5 days for postage in the UK!

Going to order a few cases as well for it; Spigen Slim Armor, the Spigen Neo Hybrid Carbon case and a Shieldon soft tan leather wallet case (ideal for if I'm out and about socially and don't want to lug my wallet around with me)!

Can't wait and also can't wait to have one decent mobile that does the job of 2!!! :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] dan24591:
At last! The tracking has updated and it should be coming tomorrow! I paid £5 to get the shipping upgraded to a Saturday delivery and it has finally changed to "we have your parcel and it's on the way to you".

Couldn't wait til Monday! These last 5 days have nearly killed me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
Didn't last long- Action launcher 3 now in place (needed Impulse icons back like on my N6[emoji14])
[Galaxy Note5 General] theloginwithnoname:
Adapt(a)sound - what a clever piece of software, to calibrate based on users hearing.

Starting to really like this device! Feels like (again quoting another poster) a rocket ship after using any other device!
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
I'm getting excited and haven't even received mine yet. Tracking has been updated though, so fingers crossed it'll land with me mid next week :)

I've ordered all the bits I've mentioned above for it plus x2 tempered glass protectors

I won;t be rooting my Note 5; I only use Apple stuff (Mac Mini, MBP, Apple TV's, iPad Air 2 etc...) and despise MS computers haha ;), also not brave enough to root a mobile anyway...

How are people finding the Note 5 with Apex or Nova launchers? Is there a lot of bloatware that can be switched off etc?
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
I watched a YT video about debloating the Note 5 and making it look like a Nexus device yet my 920c had very little bloat in my opinion. I've only disabled 3 or 4 things - S Health etc.

Running Action launcher 3 on mine as I really like the theming of it :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
^^

Brill; thanks for that

I'll have a good once over of it anyways when I receive it!
[Galaxy Note5 General] dan24591:
Still no phone for me today. A £5 upgrade that had no effect on the delivery. Waiting til Monday now. So sick of this.
[Galaxy Note5 General] theloginwithnoname:
My N920CD has:

Samsung

DUOS

CExxxx

SM-N920CD Samsung, Yately, GU46 etc

IMEI x IMEI y

S/N x

Ironic of Samsung to include a UK address... :banghead:
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
Even more ironic is that the address is about 5 miles from me ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
So glad I went for this phone now - worth the wait guys but hope your deliveries turn up asap.

It's a stunning device - screen the best yet, battery far better than I expected and the smartphone camera I wanted - just gets the shot right first time.

Such a shame Samsung didn't (yet) bring this officially to the UK.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jah:
Stupid Samsung. Really stupid.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
A n920c 64gb going for 590 on ebay already. Wish I had bought several of these units when they were available for 480 could have flipped them for 600/pop
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Wouldn't be worth it using eBay/PayPal as you'd be pillaged for the fees!
[Galaxy Note5 General] teedee29:
sorry i haven't got back to you, i've not been well. I had no problems with my order, came within 5 days & didn't need to contact them at all. There was a £30 customs bill to pay. It will be with you soon & you'll love it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dan24591:
At last! It's here! What a painful week long wait.

Absolutely phenomenal phone so far. The camera and display are out of this world.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Indeed the best phone I've had and one I can see keeping a few years :) ⌚
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
I'm impatiently waiting for my 920CD now haha...

Will update when it lands :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaz1968:
Iv ordered a gold 32gb from imobile_uk on ebay can't wait for it to arrive. Does it come all wrapped and sealed? I'm getting anxious now I'm going to end up with a fake phone ha ha?
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Wow...

What a superb phone, very well made, feels great in the hand and its super slick!

Got it all set up; all info transferred across from my N6P; finger print scanner all set up; both sims sorted (Sim 1 as personal and 4G, Sim 2 as business etc)

Uploaded all the apps I use etc... :)

3 day delivery from imobile_UK on eBay via RMSD, highly recommended!

Just ordered x2 tempered glass screen protectors, x2 Spigen cases (Slim Armor and a Neo Hybrid one) and a leather wallet case as well; should all be with me tomorrow

Overall, superb phone and superb impression and I've only had it a few hours! :D

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------

You're fine pal; mines landed with me this morning after ordering it on Friday!

Great seller and the phone comes sealed (but with a crappy UK charger) ;)

I'd recommend one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00U0SOTFO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Lol with all that spending you may as well have just bought the Montblanc note5 alligator print hard case
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Christ NO!

I've got taste and that's not it! :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
No taste? It's the best case I've found by miles!
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaz1968:
It's getting delivered this morning can't wait!
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaz1968:
Phone came yesterday morning what an absolute beast of a phone. Imobile_uk first class service I ordered on Sunday came before 1pm Wednesday. Came with fast charging plug as well.
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Mine came with a crappy adapter! :( I've bought a decent fast charging plug off Amazon UK though

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01A42R46G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
Strange. Mine had an additional charger in the package but the full 3 pin fast charger in the Samsung box?

Was yours the 920c or a different model?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
I'm surprised you guys say the imobile_uk units are sealed. They aren't. Mine came opened (albeit the phone was fine) and had an imobile_uk sticker holding it closed which in my view is NOT factory sealed because the samsung seals were all opened. That being said it was a good price and great phone so I didn't care but their units DO NOT come sealed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] teedee29:
Mine was sealed, came with a UK charger as they didn't realise the 3 pin fast charger was in the sealed box :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
920CD with a euro-spec 2 pin charger

Box was fully sealed; I had to break the seal to get into the box. The charger adapter was separate in the packaging!

It's no biggy, I wasn't expecting a charger to be with it!
[Galaxy Note5 General] theloginwithnoname:
Same here, unfortunately. The fast charger I use is invaluable though, don't be without one.

Anyone bought a Qi wireless charger with fast charge? ideally don't want to spend as much as the Samsung one goes for...
[Galaxy Note5 General] flintston314:
I had the Samsung Wireless fast charger, it was terrible. You have to position it precisely to work. I now use the Nokia DT-901 (Fatboy) wireless charger and it is UNBELIEVABLY good. I tested the Note with an LG Nexus charger, the Samsung fast charger and 2 generic ones. They all worked.....but not in a good way.

With the Nokia one due to the 3 coils you can slap it onto without looking.

The Fatboy pillow can be removed, it works better without.

BTW, I received the UK 3 pin charger along with my Note 5, anyone with a European 2 pin charger willing to swap can contact me (the charger is unused), I live I Germany and would prefer a 2 pin :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] marvi0:
Hello am aware that the n920c has previously had better development than the cd. Is this still the case or things are starting to change asa friend is offering me his?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
It's the same phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
As above

No difference apart from being dual sim!

Re chargers; I've got this one and it's unbelievably brilliant! Uber fast when it comes to charging and no heat issues either!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01A42R46G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaz1968:
Mine came sealed with fast charger inside the box
[Galaxy Note5 General] jacmeister:
Guys seen a n920 w8 on eBay. Is this the Canadian version that works on all UK 4g networks or is it better just to get the n920c
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
I'd double check the specs before buying and suss out its connectivity

Or, as you said, buy the 920C and have no issue!
[Galaxy Note5 General] jacmeister:
Yep. Think I will go for n920c. Thank you
[Galaxy Note5 General] Guitarfreak26:
Wheres the most reliable place to buy a CD now or a 64gb C?

Seems i mobile are on holiday and not selling atm
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
What about tdimension on eBay UK?
[Galaxy Note5 General] umbrokhan:
has anyone got Marshmallow Android 6 update yet from UK on Note 5?
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
no such thing as a UK note 5....!
[Galaxy Note5 General] umbrokhan:
i mean Imported from another country
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
guess it depends which country. Mines Dubai so whenever it is distributed to that part of the world. Suspect a polish device would be first as they usually are.
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
From the looks of things we've a wait ahead before we get 6.0!

Be patient...
[Galaxy Note5 General] cavags5:
Hi friends, someone knows or buy the new version of the note 5 with the s pen problem solved.

Regards
[Galaxy Note5 General] gingerdude:
Put the pen in right way and there's no problem on any note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
There is no s pen fault its the user that's a picnic
[Galaxy Note5 General] chieco:
He probably meant where he can get the new revision Note 5 where Samsung has fixed this hardware "issue". Buddy I would say no one can answer this for u! I mean the Seller probably doesn't open the Box and puts the S Pen backwards in :eek: hell he most likely isn't even aware of this issue unless many buyer had to return it for this reason. My best guess would be that if the seller hasn't really old stock laying around, like the first few batches of Notes that has been produced u most likely get one of the newer ones. I mean I read few months ago about Samsung fixing this so by now every Note 5 (except seller having old stock) is the new revision fixed Note 5. Hope this answers ur question.
[Galaxy Note5 General] KevandLynds:
I've installed it on my n920c, seems OK.
[Galaxy Note5 General] invisiblesense:
I've had my Galaxy Note 920I for a few weeks now; what an amazing phone - extremely high quality! I just can't put it down. The screen, the design, the colour and the feel - it's all outstanding. My Note Edge and Note 4 feels fake when compared to the Note 5. I am on 3 network in London and everything, including 4G has been working fantastic.
[Galaxy Note5 General] 4anatic:
Got my note 5 today. Bought N920C off eBay. Great phone, highly recommended. I am on vodafone and can confirm that 4g+ works on it as well. Anyone in doubt, go ahead with n920c or n920cd!
[Galaxy Note5 General] bigootang:
Just beware of the Deep Sleep bug which affects most if not all. My 64GB 920C was stock and the drain was 10% an hour on stanby with no sync etc and in airplane mode.

Tried the Arter Kernel mod and that affect VR performance.

So for me either excellent battery and sluggish performancehere and there or full beans and charging twice a day!
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
Anyone got the MM ota yet? Refreshed mine nothing as of yet let's see when we will get this with our imported devices.
[Galaxy Note5 General] 4anatic:
nothing for me either
[Galaxy Note5 General] bigootang:
i followed the instructions and updated from here. Worth doing, simple enough too thanks to the great tutorials here!

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

I've followed this thread for the past few months and thanks to Jah and the other key contributors I bought the correct for UK Note5 - after returning a dual sim 9208 - whilst it worked-not band 18(? correct me as could be wrong) for UK mainstream LTE.

I would be interested in hearing if any of those main guys still use/love/put up with battery drain etce Note 5?

I amhappy-I know the battery drian is there but the beuty of forums like thisis the incredible people who have knowledge far beyond my tiny brains capabilities , that tirelessly contribute t maek our lives with our devices more enjoyable. If was elon musk or whatever his name is I would trawl places like this and donate big time. I am poor but have and will always doante a pint/cola etc to those awesome devs.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
Still rocking mine, battery isn't too bad to be honest I get through a working day and fast charge itself is quick so no issue topping up. Slight random freezes I have at times very odd but I put up with it. I love everything else about the phone, the screen is lovely, the camera is excellent, love using the spen for taking notes and what not. It's a beaut of a device and here's hoping marshmallow makes it better.
[Galaxy Note5 General] catdogchicken:
Can Anyone recommend T-dimension seller on eBay? As I'm currently eyeing up a note 5 from them.
[Galaxy Note5 General] TechAnimal:
I've still got my 9208. Battery life is pretty good for me at 4-6hrs screen on and 24-30 hrs standby depending on specific usage. Put simply, it always makes it through a work day with ample battery left.
[Galaxy Note5 General] 4anatic:
Purchased mine from them! Phone itself is absolutely perfect and it came with the UK fast charger. There is one thing to keep in mind, they are quite slow with the dispatch so it will take about a week to get your phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] catdogchicken:
I don't mind a week, but they have some good prices and no import charges too. Will order today and get the iPhone on sale.
[Galaxy Note5 General] 4anatic:
then go ahead for sure! their prices are really good!
[Galaxy Note5 General] catdogchicken:
Which company delivered yours from the UK leg, DPD?
[Galaxy Note5 General] 4anatic:
yes, it was DPD
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
Took the plunge and installed marshmallow so far so good. Going to reinstall everything and see how it feels over the next few days.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
You won't be disappointed, the note 5 is fantastic with mm.

Makes the nexus 6p redundant.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
I was happy with LP lol initially had the 6p but returned it for a note 5 and not looked back since.
[Galaxy Note5 General] thering1975:
just ordered the 920cd version in silver. used to love sammy then moved over to the nexus 6 which was a great phone but the screne breaks to easily, so after the 2nd cracked screen in the same place i thought id come home to the note range (used to develop for the note 1), anyways tbh and in my opinion only im not all that impressed with stock android, to me its just dull and in fact i felt like a beta tester for the year i had the nexus, anyways cant wait for this puppy to arrive
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
While waiting to upgrade to Marshmallow thought I'd quickly check some details of my Note 5 from imobile on ebay. I'd wrongly assumed it was a UAE sourced handset - turns out the CSC is from Nigeria!! Wonder if that impacts on when 6.0.1 will be available?

In fact I've got a suspicion this is a network handset that's been unlocked so guess I'll need to wait for the network to release the firmware? Odin here I come then :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
Just flash away mate, I've flashed the CAM version few days ago on my UAE handset. Was a simple process and MM runs well n
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Gear vr working?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nikzDHD:
Not sure mate I don't have a gear Vr yet.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
Has anyone had problems with their Dubai sourced note 5 and needed to return under warranty? Mine is defective coming up repeatedly with SIM card removed ,restart device. Tried a new sim with no joy.

Samsung uk wouldn't touch it with a barge pole so much for a global business ...

I've emailed axiom telecom and hope they come good will if it requires a return to Dubai I've bought an iPhone 6s+ in the meantime .what with 2 Samsung TVs developing faults, 2 previous notes and now the 5,and that's on top of a couple of tablets, I'm becoming seriously annoyed with the lack of quality in Samsung tech .
[Galaxy Note5 General] theloginwithnoname:
I thought they were from Hong Kong!
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
Lol. Maybe I got the odd one[emoji14]
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
How did you find out the phone could be from Nigeria?!

What does this mean in the end?

Cheers

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

I've just add this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en

Found out that my CSC is Zambia (I've been had lol)

Country of Origin is Vietnam!

Does this mean I've fat chance of getting MM via OTA/Keix/SmartSwitch etc (i.e. will I have to have it rooted)?!
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
I'd imagine it just means we have to wait until the MM update reaches South Africa - whether that means a longer or shorter wait, I don't know - there's always an Odin flash in the meantime although I think that means wiping the phone?

Just want to be sure I'll get updates on time tbh - my Note 5 has software from October right now - so much for Google security updates :p :p
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Yeah; same here!

I thought you were selling your Note 5 anyways?!
[Galaxy Note5 General] WhiteHartMart:
Was that possible sale spotted on another forum? Thankfully my circumstances meant I didn't have to sell after all. Good job too - best Android device I've ever had :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Yeah; saw it on AVForums...

My brother uses it quite a bit and I've sold a few bits via him on there as well...

I've thought about registering, but IIRC I got banned from there a good few years ago for insulting a mod... Oops! :rolleyes: :p
[Galaxy Note5 General] umbrokhan:
will note 5 lag after 17 Months time like Note 4?
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
No lag on my note 4 work 5.1.1. No lag on my note 5 either
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Lag?!

Haha; always cracks me up this!

With any device like this, if you're running tons of apps all the time and other stuff as well, of course it'll 'lag'

But keep it clean and stop apps that aren't being used will always help!

I've never had a phone that 'lags'; all the Note's have been blisteringly fast IMO...

I suppose there's only one way to find out!
[Galaxy Note5 General] nintendolinky:
Guys, can i flash a N920C firmware onto the N920I. If not, how about a Marshmallow custom rom?
[Galaxy Note5 General] ActonTown:
Hey guys.

This might be not the smartest question, but I really need your help.

I want to buy the n920C...price is around £420 at the moment.

However, will I be able to update to Marshmallow without rooting etc. Just normal update from the settings?

I dont know how to do it differently.

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
Learn :)

Don't need to root - download from Sammobile - search for Note 5 SM-N920c and it'll bring up a list of fw available.

Download ODIN - instructions are on sammobile.

Takes a couple of hours especially due to slow download speed or subscribe for speedy downloads.

Very easy to do.

You can go back to 5.1.1 by carrying out above too.

Factory reset after install.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ActonTown:
Can I not update it from the settings?

Firmware update?
[Galaxy Note5 General] bonerp:
If there's an update available. They get released by country. I'm using a uae device in the UK so I guess I'd use above to install.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ActonTown:
Whats the best company to buy the phone from...what experiences do you have? Guarantee? Did you get a fast charger with the phone?

Cheapest one I could find is t-dimension on eBay and Expedite Electronics on google shopping https://www.google.co.uk/search?cli...cr&ei=pSjcVuD8KM6WwAPv9rmIBA#q=n920c&tbm=shop
[Galaxy Note5 General] thering1975:
I brought from Expedite Electronics, N920cd, took 8 days to arrive came with uk 3 pin fast charger in sealed box, as its from HK they use the same pin type so all is good to be honest. Ignore there process description, i.e 4-7 days email after 3, i was mailed after 6, parcelforce advised after 4 but got the date wrong lol. But in all fairness smooth transaction tbh
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
imobile_uk via eBay for me and a few others

Very good to deal with and shipping from UK so no import taxes etc
[Galaxy Note5 General] SpineSurgery:
Guys,

only differences between N9200 vs N920CD are supported frequencies?
[Galaxy Note5 General] c900712:
Supported frequencies and the cd is dual sim if I remember correctly,

Just got my 6.0.1 Update to the n920c uae! Anyone knows if the option to disable the app drawer is available on our device?
[Galaxy Note5 General] nickbarbs:
Thanks for letting me know! I can confirm it's out for uae!
[Galaxy Note5 General] danb1979:
Yup

The 'C' and 'CD' versions are the ones needed in the UK as they cover all the LTE/4G networks (I've got the 920CD and use it on GiffGaff (runs on the O2 network)!

The CD version is the dual-sim version; 1st sim is the main sim and data sim, 2nd sim is calls/texts only. I run mine with my business mobile sim in slot 2 and the main sim for my personal number and 4G connectivity
