The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Thread

[Teo Ming Ern]

I'll just go to iRepair and get it fixed for less than half the price of the Samsung service centre... plus Samsung service centre also outsources jobs to iRepair according to their website... ha ha ha...

You'll have to wait. Only via software update from Samsung can enable it.

Not sure if this is common, but my note 5 running android 6.0.1 is unable to do screenshot using palm swipe recently, although that feature is enabled in my settings. Tried disabling and enabling, as well as powering it off and restarting, palm swipe screenshot still does not work. Is there anyone that face this similar problem?

Hmmf.. I'm not sure how you are doing it. I rarely seem a problem with this gesture but swiping the side of your palm across the screen usually works the best. Else the usual, press and hold the power and home button is always fail proof

the switch itself is hard soldered onto the motherboard. you can still de-solder the points and change the switch yourself but you risk damaging the neighbouring components.

Nowadays electronics are no longer repaired by changing components liao...... If 20 years ago maybe yes, nowadays no.
