The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Thread

[Chipero]

Same. Had the G4 for a week before switching back to Note 4. The G4 is a nice phone. Great standby time but once you switch on the screen, the battery drain like no tomorrow.

The G4 screen is still very dark.

does note 5 support wireless charging out of the box or do i need some fancy cover?

It supports wireless charging out of the box ^^

Didn't happen to mine, in fact i think the sound quality is much better than note3 & 4

I haven't noticed any weird sounds too. Using a cheap dynamic driver earphone from Ultimate Ears UE 350, and a low end TDK BA driver earphone clef-ba 700.

It sounds better probably because of the DAC inside. note 3 and 4 using Qualcomm chip, which just use their own DAC. Whereas for Samsung's own Exynos chip, using Wolfson DAC.

agree that sound quality in general is better. just that was hearing the scratching in the music.

switched the Equalizer to Auto and dont hear it anymore.

It seems that all the glass protector now doesn't stick well on the sides. Have bubbles. Well have to live with it until better screen protector comes along.

Bro, have u tried turning on the Ultra High Quality Audio option in the preinstalled music app? I tried a demo set with my own Koss Portapro headphones...can alr hear a difference.

Just bought this at mustafa. I cant survive without a powerbank already. Argh.

Tomorrow I am getting myself 2 more powerbanks. *sigh*

Does this work with the Note 5? I have a 10K mah portable wireless Qi that doesn't work with the Note 5.

 

[lampano]

some questions.

1. Loudspeaker - any good? Note 4 is too soft. Ip 5 is loud!!!
2. CAM - is the startup fast like S6?

Hard reset for me was to hold the power button and the volume down button together. Holding just the power button didn't do sh*t for my note5

Yeah, can hear the difference ya, but to me the difference big enough for me to keep it turn no. I not that picky. haha. Turn off and save battery better.

Same here also. :/

1. sounds louder to me. just don't expect much oomph. Still lose out to HTC's front facing stereo speakers.

2. Yes. Faster when screen is already on. With fingerprint lock, it seems a tad slower, but feels just as quick as S6.

what case/cover you guys are using?

Played with Note 5 for the first time this morning.

Overall, good design with good feel, I must say.

However, if only it has a bigger screen of 5.96" packed in such narrow body.

Wasted, samsung. Really wasted to sticked to just 5.7". Else, it will be a good phablet for those who don't care about non removevale battery and no SD card.

Touchwiz, nothing refreshing as usual.

5.96 too big la

While i've yet to do a serious listening comparison with my A&K Jr DAP, i'm impressed with (and enjoy) the audio quality with the UHQA turned on for my Note 5.

For info, my music is encoded in FLAC and listened thru JH Audio 16 Pro customs.

How is RAM management on the Note 5? Do apps reload when you exit and come back again? S6 had this issue that I could not stand. I hope they fixed this on the note 5 with so much RAM...
