Yeah, I was contemplating between the Note 7 ($280 - $30 = $250 - $10 CC = $240) vs the $186 Note 5/Pro.

In the end decided on the Note 5 because the difference is SD636 vs SD660 and cameras. Cameras doesn't bother me and the difference in performance between SD636 and SD660 is negligible for the price difference.

However, $240 is still a very good price for Note 7 for those interested.

the proximity senor doesnt seem to work when taking or making calls.

ive also gone into test mode (from kernel) and it say pass. press calibrate n it seems fine and dandy.

ive tried going into call settings, switch off proximity sensor. reboot. go back into setting and swithc proximity sensor back on.

anybody else have the same problem? how did u guys fixed it?

Local sets are Pro... local sets don't have the non-Pro Note 5... China sets are Note 5, but no Pro version. Export sets with Pro are likely India sets cos that's the original target market of the Note 5 Pro.

Anyone where to which local store or online shops sells the transparent case with 4 corner bumper which the bumper is thick like the iPhones? The bumper case from shoppe are all thin bumper which the lip didn't really protect the front

looks like screen + digitiser damage. must be replaced.

yours is an export set? if no warranty, u can search online to see if they sell the screen, and replace it yourself.

 

[Teo Ming Ern]

Yup you need to replace it... actually can just send to mobile repair shop to get it replaced... not too expensive I expect...

my wife's old max 2 cost $160 to replace screen only at mobile shop.

i bought screen + digitiser from lazada for $30+ and changed it myself.

Screen and digitiser are seperate components? As in, cause I only recall changing screen for my old phones.
