YES, multiple times per day. I think it started happening after the last update for me. It's really freaking annoying. I'm on stock, not rooted, and running Nova. It seems to always be an app that's on the home screen, even if my finger is nowhere near it.

T-Mobile has a policy where they will give you an unlock code if the phone is on the network for a specific amount of time. I think it's either 90 or 120 days on the T-Mobile network. I contacted them via chat for my Note4 and they gave me the unlock code for free.

I don't miss it at all. It was a nice novelty feature that I used a lot at first on the Note4, but eventually stopped and went back to my universal remote.

Yeah, I can't stand any skinning on my phones. I like to experience Android the way Google designed it. This is, of course, just a sort of workaround, but it looks really close to AOSP. Close enough that I'm happy with it and don't feel the desire to have CM and lose the s-pen and wifi calling.

Ugh, now I want Five Guys.

Lol I know. Not being able to search is a serious PITA on there.

Yes, this is worth mentioning. I'm on JUMP 2.0 unfortunately...I guess. It's still a LOT better than Next 12 and VZW Edge doesn't even belong in the conversation (their changes to Edge made me move to T-Mobile, lol) :)

I'm not sure about the Lookout premium stuff... But you just login to your My T-Mobile and click Phone at the top. If you have 50% paid off your current one, you can just click the upgrade button or whatever's on there. If not, you can pay the remaining balance to JUMP and the upgrade is...

So, I don't remember the Note4 having this, so pardon my naivete if it did, but if you go into Settings > Themes, then go to the Theme Store, click ALL and scroll down a bit, you can find two FREE Material themes (standard and dark, I prefer the standard one). Looks very similar to AOSP across...

Same here, lol. I love that it's cheaper. I didn't walk in though. I ordered it online overnight and all the JUMP stuff was handled flawlessly online.

150 apps, 32GB version......

I tried to get the shipping charges refunded in chat and he said they run free overnight promotions that are limited. He made a note on the account and instructed me to call the "telesales" team to see what they can do.

Just in case you wanted a second opinion...yes, it works. :)

Worth noting: On the Note4, you can still access the menu by holding down the recent programs soft key for a couple seconds. On the Note5, you can do it by holding down the back soft key. Holding down recents will give you easy access to split screen view.

I ordered this morning. No tracking yet, but it still says estimated delivery tomorrow.

I'm getting it because it feels so much better in the hand than the Note 4, and the performance improvements in hardware are nothing to ignore. I've never really cared all that much about a replaceable battery. The MicroSD situation does irk me a bit, but you have to adapt to the times. I think...

I was in an AT&T store yesterday and they said they'll have the silver one at launch.

Really loving this Dynamic ROM series, but I can't stand the takeover of the battery stuff. 3Minit battery icons are really, really ugly (IMO), and the app itself is horrible. When I try to go into 3Minit and change the style, it just says it needs to be updated and closes, but I can't update it...

No, it started happening after using an older version of the ROM for several months with no issues. I did a complete wipe and installed the new version to see if that would fix it, but it didn't.

I can't seem to find a fix anywhere for this. There have been issues with older phones having this problem, and there's usually a wifi module you can flash that fixes it, or a terminal command. I have an 802.1x network (hidden SSID) at work that I was able to connect to until last week. I...

Dude, yes. This a hundred times. I was going to return this stupid tablet (10.1) because the TW ROM is so horrifically bad and sluggish. With CM12 it flies.

I mean settings in Android, in the CM12 ROM. I believe it's under Developer Settings (tab build number like 6-7 times to enable), and you can control what has root privileges (ADB, Apps, Both, None). They don't use SuperSU anymore. ---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was...

I tried the on screen buttons but found it irritating when trying to type and trying to hit the spacebar, hitting home instead, but I'm not sure they're out of proportion; they might be a little too small. As for the charging icon being held off the screen, I'm not sure what you mean by that...

Hmm, maybe I need a couple more days with it. If it persists, I might exchange it.

I just picked up a 10.1 on Sunday, and I really like it, but it seems to be getting fairly hot on the back cover, even with normal use. Just doing some web browsing, installing apps, Clash of Clans, etc. It actually doesn't really matter what I'm doing. If I'm using it for more than 10 minutes...

Hello all. I see a lot of comments on this board about how people still use their Xoom and that its performance is still great, but I cannot seem to join in with the Xoom love, although I really want to. I bought the WiFi Xoom when it first came out about 4 years ago, and I used it a lot at...

I was on VZW for a few years and their changes to EDGE made me leave. I've had T-Mobile for about 2 months, and I sorta regret it. Not so much leaving Verizon; it was choosing T-Mobile that may have been the bad choice. I live in Southwest Michigan, and it most major cities, there is great...

This is actually one of my pain points for T-Mobile. I'm a former Verizon customer too. The way it works with TMo is that you have a domestic roaming data allotment, and it is TINY. There is no way to get more, and the unlimited plan is only 50MB. For some reason, 11-21GB data gives you 200MB...

This. I kept having this issue with my Note 3 and could not figure it out. Eventually I just took out the battery, cleaned the contacts, put it back in, and it never had a random reboot after that.

That's just his signature... :) Probably his home internet through his computer.

Yeah, for real. This almost seems like trolling. lol

I also did the test drive (came from Verizon) and the LTE speeds on the iPhone blew me away. They're the same on my Note 4. I get ~40mbps down and 10mbps up in my house.

I can't personally speak to your benefit since I don't live in your area, but in Southwest Michigan, Verizon is the king of carriers. I've had VZW for a few years and I made the switch to T-Mo last Thursday. Before you switch, take the test drive...

I was also really torn on the color. My previous two phones were a white GS3 and a white Note3, and I loved them, but when I saw the Note4 white and black side by side, the black just looks better. The back feels a little "softer" too. Not sure why. I think you'll be happy with either, as...

Well I've had this iPhone for an hour now. Hate the phone, but one thing I've seen already is the LTE speed is DOUBLE what I get from Verizon. It gets around 40mbps down and 10mbps up in my house, which is ridiculous. I can't even get that on Verizon outside with full bars. Sent from my...

My fiancee and I are both geocachers and use an app to post our finds immediately, so we do actually need coverage in obscure areas. We often have trouble even with Verizon, but that trouble is 1-2 bars of 3G. I'm hoping that doesn't translate into zero signal with T-Mobile. You are right...

Are you referring to the 700MHz spectrum they're rolling out? Link here: https://sites.google.com/site/cellularbinder/t-mobile-700a-spectrum If that's the case, I'm in Southwest Michigan, and it looks like they need to clear up some stuff before that happens in my area (if I'm reading that...

Mine is slightly better than the last update. I have Facer (but using stock face), Wear Mini Launcher, and Strava installed. Watch comes off the charger at 8:30am and by 11:30pm I usually have 65-70% battery remaining. This thing has absolutely ridiculous battery life, IMO.

Well these are interesting responses. :) As far as my work goes, nothing seems to penetrate that building except AT&T, which would be nice, but they have the same issues that Verizon has. It's interesting, because I thought TMo piggy backed off of AT&T towers for roaming...

I think my anger with Verizon caused me to leave that part out of my long post, lol. I did that, and they're sending me an iPhone 5s to test, which will be here on Tuesday. I'm excited to try it out, but the consensus around my office with T-Mobile customers is that it's not very good service...

I just wanted to put a feeler out there. Hopefully those who may have switched from Verizon might chime in and give me some helpful advice. I've been with Verizon since the GS3 came out and I've had it with that company. They have excellent service, and I have signal just about anywhere I go...

Wait wait wait...sorry about my confusion here, but I've been with Verizon for a couple years. Are you saying T-Mobile phones come with the bootloader unlocked? Is AT&T like this too? I'm already prepared to jump ship, but if this is true, I'm definitely gonna say goodbye to big red.

Just got done fiddling with a white Note 4 at my local Best Buy. They had 3 white ones (didn't see the Edge). I'm still getting one, but I came away kinda unimpressed. I'm convinced a big part of that was the fact I couldn't really DO much on it, due to the security cable being way too short on...

I just called my local store and they seemed to have no idea now. She said the 23rd is "launch day", but she doesn't know if they'll be available before then. Pretty typical. She was nice, though.

Lol. No way! ;)

Wow, you guys are really passionate about arguing about the release date, specifically the ones who feel very strongly that it's the 23rd. My local VZW store said they will have it on the 17th in the morning, and that I should not pre order the phone since I wouldn't get it until almost...

I've had mine (stainless) for a week now and so far not one person has asked about it, including at a 4 hour birthday party. I think most people assume it's a regular watch when I'm out, and at work, people probably already know what it is but are too awkward to ask about it (I'm a software...

I think the battery life is ridiculously good. I took mine off the charger at 8:30 this morning (10.5 hours ago) and I'm sitting at 74%. Less than 2.5% drain per hour...

I kinda like it. It has a slight purple tint that only seems to show up under florescent lighting. In most lighting, it actually looks like light gray with a little brown tint.

I was lucky to snag one on lunch at my local Best Buy. Interestingly enough, I prefer the new "stone" color. Pics online made me irritated they changed it, but I think it's very classy.
