U always have this problem on this Note 5? If so, u might need to check with Telco.

yeah only note 5. before was s3 no problems

Hmm, if you didn't do anything weird, my guess is the telco screw up your Call-Id. Mine is ok when it's activated today. If you have an online account with the telco, go check if its there. Since you need to change to nanoSim i think they forgot to do it during activation.

@nexusRAGER
Did you just re-contract?
Are you using Red traffic light?

Caller ID is now not part of the package. Red traffic light has stopped giving free Caller ID as part of the 24-month contract since August 2015. You have to pay $5++ per month to have Caller ID [basically milking your money...]

If you are not using Red traffic light, then as what @human_shieldz has mentioned, check your mobile plan with the Telco and make sure Caller ID is included in your mobile plan.

Hahaha. I'm still not completely happy with the camera but it's a big leap over Note 3.

Well so far the battery life has been great. I'm getting around

5hrs SOT
10hrs 30mins since last full charge
and now i'm left 27%.

Eh?? Then what phone camera is good for you..?

Dunno leh i guess right now MAYBE only Lumia is quite good under low light, even then i need to be personally trying it then count. But i understand it's only phone camera so can't expect much haha. That's why i'm always looking forward to a phone with nice camera.

Why not consider getting an all rounded camera phone rather than to focus on camera with low light aka low f-point?

I would rather hold a dslr than to rely on phone's camera with f1.9.

Of course that's ideal but i dun wanna carry around a big ass camera wherever i go. I borrowed my friend's NEX mirrorless camera which does pretty good low light for a thin ass but its still something i won't carry out all the time with me. I know for one they are not gonna fit into my front jeans pocket

Ok that info would have been helpful earlier lol. But i suggest if online or calls taking u too much time, try going down to the shop to confirm so they can see and check right on the spot for u.

Smart move lol especially now with Note 5 seemingly cheaper to get than when it was launch + the profits of iPhone, maybe can get a Note 5 + a tablet or Gear S2
