    I have a Note 5, Should I upgrade?

    I've been wondering this too. The battery life on my Note 5 is awful, but I find that every Note device I have has bad battery life after a certain time period. I'm waiting at least 2 months to see how the Note 7 performs battery wise before upgrading because that seems to be the only feature I...

    Where to see the Note 7 in-person? Demo Displays?

    UNT Alumni here! Maybe there was a high demand for the S7/S7 Edge that they thought it would be wise this time around to have the Note 7 on display?

    Where to see the Note 7 in-person? Demo Displays?

    Frisco, Texas has both the sliver and the black out on display, and the Samsung Experience crew is more than ready to convince you to buy one, lol. It's always fun going in to Best Buy or T-Mobile where people assume I know next to nothing, and then surprising them with all of the knowledge I...

    What is the advantage of curved edge over flat?

    I loved curved displays, in theory. I think they look great and they always catch my attention when I see them. But would I want one for myself? I don't know and I don't really think so. I love the Note 5 and will be happy if I stay with it, but I also love new, shiny things, especially new...

    Battery Issues With a Note Phone Once Again...

    I thought I'd update this for anyone who may be having battery issues. So it turns out the main culprit was cell signal, which I had a feeling was the root cause of my troubles. My job switched offices to a more T-Mobile friendly area, and since I've had full coverage all day, I'm currently...

    Battery Issues With a Note Phone Once Again...

    I was actually just thinking about turning google photos sync off until I absolutely need it. I did clear the cache and wiped the cache partition and disabled some things syncing that aren't dire, so hopefully this helps. And I should note that it draining overnight that significantly was the...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll definitely try both.

    Battery Issues With a Note Phone Once Again...

    I know it isn't true for most note phones, but all of my note phones have experienced this at some point. I'm sure there is something I'm doing that is making them act up, but I can never seem to pinpoint it. With that said, that's why I wonder if switching to an iPhone would be better for my...

    Battery Issues With a Note Phone Once Again...

    I wish I didn't love this series as much as I do, because I think it's time to part with it. The battery life is just unacceptable at this point and I'm turning to forums again to see what to do. I took it off the charger at 2:30 this morning with 100% and woke up around 6 to see it at 15%. I...

    Anyone not using a case for their note 5?

    I didn't even know the glass back could be replaced at home and now I'm watching a video to learn how to just in case, lol.

    Samsung Pay: Useful Tool or Cool Novelty?

    I use Samsung Pay almost everywhere. The only time I actually pull out my debit card is when I'm out to eat and the server has to run the card. It's convenient for a retail therapy lady such as myself because just about every store I go to it works flawlessly. It's also easier because I always...

    Anyone not using a case for their note 5?

    I went to lunch without it on, and I honestly was so paranoid that I think it's best for me to just use a case, lol. It just looks and feels so good naked.

    Anyone not using a case for their note 5?

    I've had different cases on it since I first got it as well as screen protectors on the front and the back, but I'm starting to want to use it without a case more and more here lately. Right now, I have a clear case, but even that is getting to be too much. If I didn't care so much about the...

    Apps randomly popping open when I unlock it

    I'm not sure when it stopped happening, but it was so long ago, that I forgot it was a problem. That's weird people are still experiencing it, because I think mine was fixed with one of Samsung's small updates from late last year, or one of Nova's.

    Former/Current Note 5 Users, How is the Change?

    Thanks for the answers. I do love the Note 5's screen and the thread about the glass scratching on the s7 edge is a bit concerning. This is not an easy decision, lol.
