Oh .. paiseh ... I switched to slow 1A wired charging when I sleep ... the fast charge thing is only when I am awake ^^

$98 no choice ... at that point of time, dunno where to buy plus I ordered from qoo10 also but 18 days gone and the seller still no stock ... so i cancelled my order and buy directly from Samsung ...

hmm. quite surprise to see the sleepy/ing beauty issues.. cos last time i encounter it with note3... very very irritating.. took 5-10 secs for the phone to wake up when i press the home button.. and sometimes.. when people called.. the phone rings and vibrate but i cannot see the screen at all to slide and pick up the call...

in the end.. i gave up.. went to get iphone 5s.. but really find the screen too small and still prefer android as a phone as i started using note series since note 2 and many past androids phones... so i pick up a note 4 after researching and no sleeping issue reported, hence.. still using note 4 now. so far so good..

I tot samsung would have managed to fix it.. so wanna upgrade to note 5 as i like the nice design and quick camera and photo quality.. but seeing this issue again.. really scare to try again.. the trauma i got from note 3 sleep issue is very annoying to go thru it once again.. and yes.. it usually happens when u need to use the phone urgently..

Worthwhile to buy Note 5?

With so many negative review on Note 5 quality issues and Samsung poor customer service; is Note 5 worthwhile to buy? or should we go for iPhone 6S Plus instead? :s11: I'm looking for either Note 5 Silver Titanium or iPhone 6S Plus...undecided...any advise would be appreciated. Thank you :)

The difference between the phones really depend on your use. Maybe you should tell us why you would choose either.

i think you have to make a decision between these 2 phones in terms of its OS...

there is no right or wrong, but so far i have yet to experience any negative consumer's experience from samsung..

Anyone experience slow wireless charging on fast charger with spigen neo hybrid crystal cover? It says fast wireless charging but the speed is not as fast as wired.
