The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Thread

Don't bother replacing the battery. Better buy a new phone.

Agree. The 2 years cycle is up unless you are not on contract.

I'm not on contract.

I've been using this phone for 2 years and the battery life started to depreciate. Do you have any recommended shops to replace it? I called a shop and they quoted $80.

Edit: Just read several post in the past.
Janet mobile: $60
Samsung Service Centre: $110

I'm just wondering if 3rd party can properly re-seal the phone back for water-resistant or Note 5 not IP68 certified

cannot. the tapes are just too expensive and that they don't have the right tools to certify ip68 rating..

Hehe, I'm no longer concern with IP68 or how water resistant it is as warranty is over.

That's true but just a caution in case your phone is now more exposed to moisture or something so after paying $60 wait touch a bit water or moisture only the inside cock up. Also, maybe to earn maximum profits, the shop may use substandard battery.

By the way, anyone experience this?

Mine started last week and i only posted here today cos all along i thought it was coming from my PC!! It's seriously loud and i found out from others on a Samsung US forum that some of them even had it on silent and it still came out.

Honestly, it will scare the **** out of you like some amber alert. No solution found so far.

Using stock and still very fast and fluid unless i running out of space, which i am lol. 4K videos really killer. Does Note 8 use H.265 compression?

Now thinking, they didn't mention Oreo, maybe it's just the Samsung Experience 9.0 update to make the UI and emoji more consistent and probably some optimization.

 

[Warlock86]

Any recommended vendor to get a battery replacement (with estimated price)?
