Bee using it for a week now. Works wonderfully at home and at work. I have not seen any connection issues.

Heck ya. I still much prefer the 8" size and having an S-Pen. I use it mostly for reading and recently used it for movies on a long flight

Interesting thoughts. I am getting a new Note 8 tomorrow and this is in my shopping cart. I have been wondering about this as I have heard traditional screen protectors don't work well on the rounded glass.

I'm actually just getting my Note 8 as an upgrade from my Note 5. I won't be considering upgrading until 5G is established

Well, I thought it was fixed. But nope. Started acting up again. :(

So I spent hours messing with different settings. Nothing seems to have helped. I tried different programs to play music, I tried three different headsets. All would do the same thing. At random points, it would just stop playing. I broke down and did a hard reset to no avail. I started...

This just started yesterday. I'll be listening via Bluetooth and the volume will suddenly drop in volume and then stop. I've tried two Bluetooth devices and two different headphones.

So about a month ago my faithful of 2 years Note 5 went completely blank. Tech says it is alive and powers up, but the screen was dead. ? I survived the time with an old LG G2 that we keep around for just just incidents. Repair cost by the carrier was $225 if the screen was the only...

I did flash, but this was over a year ago.

I have my father in law who is an electronics wiz looking it over

Ya, they seem to be focusing on the 10" tablet range.

I've rooted and disabled stuff, is this any different?

Well, my trusty Note 8 is dead. I've had this for several years. Love the 8" size and the SPen. Two weeks ago the tablet was dead so I plugged it in for a charge. Came back several hours later to nothing. (Plug works fine) Tried a hard reboot via buttons, nope. So I ordered a...

YES, those are sooo annoying

There were times I thought the back was going to snap coming off, but other than that a pretty easy project and saved me having to upgrade my tablet.

I just did a battery swap on my Note 8. After having this tablet for 2+ years, the battery was just not lasting more than an hour. I got a battery from EBay, about $15.00 which included the tools to do this job. http://www.ebay.com/usr/smart_battery?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 Getting the back...

I'm hooked on my S-Pen.

In the past there was a way to reset Knox for warranty work. I had this on my Note 3. Is this still a feature for the Note 5?

I too am waiting to root until I get MM on my Note 5. I am a bit concerned about the deep sleep feature though.

That is nice

I get the frustration, but be patient. It will happen eventually. :p ---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ---------- I get the frustration, but be patient. It will happen eventually. :p

Awesome :p :) :p

Functionally, what are the advantages?

Widgets There are all kinds of Widgets available for these

Thanks for those who submitted. Anyone else?

Ya, that is the annoying part. Don't ask about our rotten on the inside Halloween pumpkin that we attempted to carve. I think I can still smell it.

Thanks Thanks for the reply folks. I do get that it defaults to a code if the fingerprint fails. My reason is that I work in a lab where I am required to wear gloves, no option for fingerprint scanning, so I have to use an unlock code at work. My wish was that when I set it for...

Anyone?

Longest I have gone without plugging in. 14 Hours in, 39% left. A typical day for me. A couple of youtube videos, an episode off of Netflix, a bit of music streaming and some internet stuff.

Um, brand new from a store you should have no issue. I know mine only had 3% charge when I opened the box, so there was little I could do in store anyways.

I just picked up one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/111828573128?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT A great alternative, but I wish it was not an issue.

Ok, I want to be given the option of using either my fingerprint or number code on the lock screen. Seems like I have to pick one or the other. Am I missing something or do I need another lockscreen app?

Only 3, that is pretty good. ---------- Post added at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ---------- That really sucks. Contact Samsung and see if they will help you out.

That is not how it works, sorry. All the phone manufacturers do this. It is surprising how much room the operating system things take up. Root your phone and you can eliminate a lot of bloat.

For me, I would rather get a solid update than the fastest update.

I'm sure the Note 5 will eventually get it. I am in no hurry. Although, just having bought mine, I am waiting for the official update before rooting. Any advantages 6.0 gives us?

Me two One of the first things I do is disable most of the haptic feedback options. ---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ---------- I don't think that there is a way to change the feedback, just to turn it on or off. Now there are alternative...

Ignore, got duplicate posted

The first one does not seem possible. It seems set at the default smaller size. Second, there are a few apps available for just this: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=disable%20touch&c=apps&hl=en

I have yet to play around with this, sounds exciting though.

Nice looking Launcher. A very nice option to keep the screen time under control. My brother uses and swears by Nova. One of the reasons I prefer Android over iOS is the way that you can highly customize your phone/tablet to your desires.

Ya, I suffered with this one for a while, coming from the Note 3. Then I saw someone on a video use the back button hold.

Coming from a Note 3 with a newer battery, (replaced about three months ago), I can go a lot longer on the Note 5.

Research Been having unfortunate results: http://androidforums.com/threads/where-are-google-play-movies-stored.617080/

Ok. I downloaded a couple of movies from Google Play and want to move them off of my Note 5, but can not seem to find them. What file directory are they in??

Interesting. :)

There are these larger pens. never tried one myself. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Original-Samsung-SGH-N035-SC-03E-N064-SC-06D-Galaxy-S3-C-PEN-CPEN-Stylus-/141846960876?hash=item2106bcdaec:g:yi4AAOSwAYtWMwmG

Thanks for the info. This was not something I was thinking about, but greatly appreciated.

I was curious what the killer, must install apps are for everyone. I am not talking about Facebook, Instagram, or system apps that allow for rooting or managing space, but the Apps that make your life on your device much more enjoyable. I will share mine: 1- Go Launcher. I love this...
