Hi guys when I'm downloading apps on the playstore the download speed is extremely slow. This is not WiFi problem as other apps like YT and FB run fine? I already clear cache and data of playstore but still the same. Anyone have this issue and know how to fix it? Tks.

I think it's the Google Playstore server side issue.. I've experienced this before when updating apps, not just in Note 5..but on my other devices.

Just in case anyone is facing the problem of the fast charger not fast-charging at random... Just replace the provided USB cable. At least that's how I solved it :)

Anyone successfully connected their note 5 to Mac to directly transfer files directly via USB? I tried using Android File Transfer but cannot detect note 5 at all

Agreed.
Was using the provided USB cable.
Kept on having the Fast Charge not working all the time.
Have to plug in and plug out several times for the Fast Charge to work.

Changed the USB cable and now, Fast Charge works all the time.

Noticed the provided Samsung USB cable did not have a tight fit to the Note 5, compared to the non-Samsung USB cable I am using now which fit snuggly to Note 5.

No wonder the Fast Charge did not work all the time.
The connection was not as tight as it should be...

My battery discharged by 30% overnight in idle mode while I'm sleeping. Not normal right? :(

Anyone else encounter this?

I had something like that too. but it was because I had a bad signal to 4G at home. I switched to 3G and got full signal. After that, my battery dropped about 4-5% overnight with all the syncing and wifi on.

Absolutely no problems on my iMac n with Android File Transfer. It could be poor cable connection

Did Samsung exchange the cable for you?

What people find out if their phone isn't fast charging and yet don't wanna spend money buy another cable. Bring the adaptor and cable down then show them it's not fast charging and act blur. I haven't done it but i guess it will then convince them to replace it for you free. If they say wanna take your phone back 1 week :s13: to check then i got nothing to say

Anyone facing wifi issues on their set?

On 5ghz wifi, initially working, thereafter even though it shows connected, wifi can't be used.
