[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangaroo72:
Hello community ...

I have a very big problem on my Note 5.

Here is my equipment:

Router: AVM FritzBox 7490 / Repeater: AVM DVB-C / Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (920C) / Samsung Galaxy S7 and various other WLAN-Clients like XBox, Playstation, Laptop ...

The Problem:

When I leave the WLAN - e. g. leaving the house - and coming back, sometimes my Note is not entering the WLAN again. The WLAN is turned on, but there is an "authentication error" in WLAN on Android - but the password is correct. The result, my data-content for september is already up, 'cause I thought I'm in WLAN, but the device was on mobile data ...

What I tried:

First I did a complete reset from the Note 5 via recovery menu including cache partition - But this didn't fix the problem - But created a lot of work :rolleyes:

Then I did a full reset of my router and the repeater ... That was really more heavy work, 'cause contained a lot of MAC-Addresses ... but today my Note again missed the WLAN-Connection ...

My Workaround: Switching "mobile data" and "WLAN" manually ... But then there's the problem, when you don't think 'bout it.

I got the Note 5 in October 2015 and up to now no problems except this ... Is it possible, that the latest Android-Update is responsible??

All firmware on my devices are the latest, and the problem exists ONLY on the Note 5 - NOT on the S7 or other WLAN-Clients.

Thanks a lot for help.

Yo all,

With WM 5 I was able to make calls with automated (like my provider vodafone) responce and the "dial 1 for the status of your bla bla bla'.... In some strange way in WM6 I cannot do that anymore... I can push all the numbers I like, they don't do ****, although I can 'hear' the tone when I push it, but the other end is not responding and it keeps telling my 'no input recieved.....' WTF????

My carrier (Bell in Canada) has agreed to let me do a refund on my Snapdragon Note 7 because of the recall. I was thinking of then going and buying a Exynos version because I get lag with my Snapdragon version which drives me nuts. I was looking into B&H Photo because they provide a 1 year warranty and say they will be getting new stock of the "f" model around Sept 18 that is safe from the recall. I would end up paying about $500 extra to switch versions and be contract free. Is it worth it? Is rooting and performance that much better?

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] acheney1990:
That does seem like a pretty big difference. Does it tend to translate to real life difference?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
Yes, the Exynos is much smoother in real life. The SD is a bit of a fail in the Note 7.

I'm with Bell as well, how did you get them to agree? The only thing I have seen is this: http://support.bell.ca/mobility/smartphones_and_mobile_internet/samsung_galaxy_note7_update
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] NIKKOTUASON:
I agree get the Exynos if you can. The Snapdragon is full of problems and terrible battery life compared to the Exynos version.

Literally the only way I can make my Exynos lag is too open all 120 apps while multi windows + running Antutu (exaggeration obviously) in all seriousness I have never seen my device lag even when gaming order and chaos 2, dead trigger 2, Pokemon Go, clash of clans..etc
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] acheney1990:
I talked to them today over chat support. I asked about exchange or refund. They seemed reluctant at first but said were gonna put a note in my account for when I went back to the store I got it from... Saying to refund it. No if they actually do so at the store or what trouble they give me is another thing.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] imatts:
I think you're missing the biggest advantage of the Exynos variant. A lot of users love it for its superior battery life, and having used yours for little time, you probably wouldnt have had enough time to thoroughly test it. Correct me if im wrong!!

I would happily dish out $500 for a Note 7 that lasts 2 extra hours of the screen on, especially with less lag. I can personally confirm the SD Note 7 is trash.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bonerp:
the only issue I'm having with the exynos is button lag (have to keep pressing the button esp on the phone app before it works) and occasional reboots. It also hung when sending a SMS whilst listening to music, taking 2 restarts to go back to normal.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] phame:
Ive been using both phones (Exynos & Snapdragon) for a few days now. Again im using the INTERNATIONAL version of the SD (SM-N9300). This model was only released on September 2nd, so maybe its better than the US snapdragon version released almost a month before. Meaning maybe samsung has made some changes / tweaks to the phone to make it run better.

- Lag : When comparing the 2 I see little to NO lag in either phone. And to be honest when I do see the occasional bit of lag its on the Exynos version! This normally happens when typing . I have yet to experience lag on the SD version.

- Battery life : I Can confirm that there is NO where near a 2 hour advantage. I have left both phones on next to each other for 2-3 hours strait and the difference in battery drop has been max 3-5%( So for example the SD would be at 85% and the Exynos would be at 88%).

And if you are advising him to "happily dish out $500 for 2 hours battery life" That sounds a bit silly. For $500 bucks you could go buy yourself a whole second phone like the OnePlus 3. Which would give you a lot more for your money.

Hell for $500 bucks you could grab a brand new OnePlus 3 + External portable charger + order a pizza! :D

Also as mentioned I'm almost certain the difference in battery life is no where near 2 hours. More like an extra 15-30 minutes at MOST. I will post more accurate details after testing the phones further in the coming days.

As of now the ONLY advantage I'm seeing with the Exynos is the ability to root it now. And that is presuming that you are willing to VOID the warranty on a brand new $800-900 phone you just bought. Im sure down the line the SD version will be rooted. And with everything available today (App De-enabler, Helium, etc) rooting is not much of a priority for most as it used to be. I would honestly be hesitant to root my Exynos version being that its a expensive devise and still very new. I don't want to risk voiding my warranty just yet.

So in short:

BOTH VERSIONS - Little to no lag, Perform fine.

Exynos - Slightly better battery (3-5% overall is my estimate), ability to root NOW, if you are willing to void your warranty.

SnapDragon (SM-N9300 International version) - Slightly better GPU processing. Does not get as hot when running heavy / graphic intensive games. No lag issues with keyboard. No crashes / boot loops yet.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] acheney1990:
So you don't experience the issue with the Snapdragon where the phone will be super fast like 90 percent of the time and then just gets super leggy and slow... So that for example if you're typing you have to wait for it to catch up... Typing one letter at a time? That's what happens to mine... 90 percent fast. .. 5 percent slow and 5 percent unbearablly slow. It doesn't seem to have any pattern or reason... Every with very little open it will start to stutter like that.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] phame:
Nope.

I have been using the SM-N9300 (Hong Kong version) of the Note 7 w/ the Snap Dragon 820 for 6 days now. Have not had a single lag issue. No problems whatsoever with the typing. I have installed and used the stock Samsung, Google and Swift Key keyboards and all of them work perfectly fine with no lag whatsoever.

What is funny is that the Exynos version I recently purchased and have had for almost 3 days now, has had that lag with typing. But only once or twice and nothing too extreme. There is actually a whole thread of people using the Exynos version who are experiencing the Key board lag issue here: http://xdaforums.com/note-7/how-to/galaxy-note-7-singapore-thread-sm-t3444909

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] stevierayvaughan:
Might be blasphemy here but after years of custom ROMs on S3 and shortly on S5 (which made the experiences great, no doubt), I can't think of any reason to need root with what I can do on the Note 7 as it is. Even Good Lock takes me back to that nice notification and quick settings I was used to. Of course that's just my requirements of the phone, no doubt plenty want root.

Well, that's it guys & girls.

I bought this tablet new 6 days ago and today the big G issued their September security update, and there's no love for the N7 2013 :/

I wasn't expecting Nougat but their site did say updates until July next year I think. Oh well. It's still a great device.

I assume it's not possible/too much work for someone to take on creating security otas from other devices?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Toolage:
Hi All,

Apologies if this is the wrong section - I wasn't able to find a basic Q&A section.

I am running a stock ROM rooted on my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 and would like to have the latest version of Android + Security Updates (it keeps nagging me about updating security) but am unable to update either of these with the usual process since the phone is rooted. Is there a way to do this without flashing a new ROM? I'd rather not lose all my installed applications and whatnot with a fresh flash.

Also, using the stock ROM is there any way to enable unlimited wireless tethering (I have an unlimited data plan)? Foxfi works great for unlimited USB tethering, but I am unable to use the WiFi tethering function.

Thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mgp53:
I believe if you update via Odin, your data will stay intact. Apps requiring root won't function until you install recovery and flash SU.

If your stock/rooted, do a complete backup prior to the update and you can then just restore the data partition.

I also have a full backup of apps and data using titanium backup.

I thought it might be good to consolidate the info/correspondence regarding our Swiftronics Note 7 order and recall process. Post here if you ordered from Swiftronics and if you have any information to share. Should we need to fight for our return/recall, we can work together to ensure they adhere to the Canadian consumer safety laws (I've done a little reading on this).

Some info:

Swiftronics has been selling the Singapore (SG) international variant.

Last I talked to them they seemed to imply that they were exempt from the global recall, but they were awaiting word from their supplier.

They offer a 3 day return policy with a 10% restocking fee if the product is used or opened. They do cover return shipping if the device is deemed defective (this would probably be our means of getting a free return)

They have been quick to reply and generally friendly, so I encourage you to contact them yourself if you have any questions!

I will add my info later today after work.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] acheney1990:
I'm looking forward to seeing peoples experience with this company as well.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] digitalallstar:
Got the same response from Swiftronic today. I also called 1-800-SAMSUNG. According to them, there's still no official procedure as to how they will handle replacements in Canada. All the major carriers are handling it in their own way. IE, will replace or refund any Note 7's. In our case (those of us who bought the international variant), we may be covered by a Samsung replacement procedure once it becomes official. The rep said all future communications will be available through http://www.samsung.com/ca/news/. They also took down the IMEI of my device and gave me a case ID for me to follow up. I think the last thin Samsung want is for a phone sold in another region blowing up and having the customer say they had no way of exchanging it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] toastyy:
Thanks for contributing! When I reached out to Samsung I got the impression that we would have to go to the seller. See below:

"Hello,

I purchased the exynos international variant from a Canadian retailer. I am wondering what will be the process for the recall in Canada in this specific instance. Will Canadian repair centres stock the international variants to replace the device with the same model within Canada? How will we go about initiating our replacement?

Counselor answer

Dear X,

Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.

I have reviewed your email and observe that you purchased international model Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with exynos processor. You would like to know what is the procedure for replacement for your phone.

I would like to inform you that for Canadian model devices, the details of the program will be announced shortly and posted on the website.

As yours is an international model, I would request you to contact the place of purchase for replacement procedure. We appreciate your understanding on this.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] digitalallstar:
The latest communication from Samsung as of Sept. 2nd reads "We will share additional information on the Canadian Replacement program in the coming days. In the meantime, Canadian Customers may call 1-800-SAMSUNG for additional information." which falls in line with what the rep told me. They expect an official replacement procedure for Canada in the next couple days. As to weather we qualify or if we will get and exchange for another F/FD model or a W8 model is still up in the air I guess.

---------- Post added at 05:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I told the rep that the seller is taking the stance that the devices they are selling are not affected by the recall. They looked into it and offered to take my IMEI and open a case ID. I really think they're trying to cover all their bases here. Like I said, I don't think they'd like it if they had an affected unit malfunction and the customer had no way to take advantage of the recall.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] toastyy:
Someone from Swiftronics called me today to respond to my emails about the recall. The gist of the conversation is that Samsung has done a poor job of informing sellers about the recall. The Samsung reps apparently have no idea what the plan is for recall of our imported international variants. It sounds like the seller is making a strong effort to get some useful information out of Samsung. I will be processing the refund as soon as I receive the device today. Overall I am very happy with their communication and they have been very pleasant to deal with. I hope the new stock comes in soon!
