    Ok the honeymoon period is starting to wear off....

    This is why these discussions are so fascinating to me. I'm the exact opposite experience. Going back to the early Galaxy devices, (well, nothing before the S4 at least) I always got much better battery performance than my wife's iphones. But...I always had the advantage of being able to swap...

    Higher storage capacity is different from more memory capacity.

    Note 5 or iphone 6s plus ( current Note 4 user )

    "which camera is better" has always been debated with these devices. My Note 4 had a much better camera than my wife's iPhone. My Note was always our go to device if we didn't have the camera with us.

    Modding the s-pen to prevent backwards insertion...

    I'm not mocking anyone. I'm saying that maintaining awareness, to the same level you would crossing the street or something similar to that, is as effective for this situation as a case is for the other one. Putting the pen in backwards is that much of a non-issue. We may as well discuss how...

    Browers - Chrome vs Stock

    Dolphin, Firefox and Chrome, usually in that order for me.

    Modding the s-pen to prevent backwards insertion...

    Except for the fact that scratches on the screen or damages from drops are a risk with a much higher probability of happening. You can be a very careful and observant user and something can still happen to damage the phone. Just like being a very careful driver may not always prevent an...

    Modding the s-pen to prevent backwards insertion...

    Amazing how effective this option can be.

    Note 5 or iphone 6s plus ( current Note 4 user )

    My Note 4 was acting very similar to yours towards the end. Upgraded to a Note 5 last week. Very happy with the change. I've never been a fan of iOS, so my choice was pretty easy.

    Location-based reminders.... PLEASE

    For what you're describing, Tasker is probably the best bet. It can be a little frustrating figuring out how to make it work, though.

    Fingerprint unlock ?

    Just wake the screen to activate the fingerprint unlock. As far as the S Voice, kill it with fire. Google Now works much better.

    Clock timer doesn't ring when do not disturb is enabled

    It will only allow calls and alarms as an exception, so the workaround is instead of using a countdown timer, set an alarm for that time in the future. i.e. if you're starting a 45 minute timer at 5:00, set the alarm for 5:45 instead.

    Odd things here and there

    Agreed, that has been my experience as well.

    Note 5 not always fast charging

    Okay, but your statements were indicating that fast charging happened to 100%, and not saying anything about display status. Others were making similar comments, which is why I posted to clarify that it does not fast charge all the way to 100%. We're both definitely in agreement that there are...

    Note 5 not always fast charging

    It will not fast charge above a certain voltage level on the battery. No matter what level the batter is when you plug in your charger, however, the display will tell you "fast charging" if you have fast charging activated. Not arguing with you, just clarifying how the Qualcomm technology...
