What exactly is wrong with your phone? I've had mine for almost half a year now, not a single problem with it at all.

I'm so used to chrome, I'm not sure if I can make the switch. Use chrome for my laptop, desktop, phones and other handheld devices, the sync and the layout is so familiar that I'm not sure if I can make the switch. I'll try it in a few days I think.

I have the UAG "ice" colored case Got into an argument a few weeks ago and threw my phone onto the floor at an angle, like a diagonal arc going down. Picked it back up after 5 mins and not a dent. Also often drop the phone on my kitchen floor that's tiled, no issues here as well. I think it's...

Looks like I'm not using my s-pen the right way. Time to go van gogh on this ish

Here is the fallacy though, your preference of having an SD slot and removable battery are all... you know... bias. It is semantics at that point. It's your bias toward having these features that made you choose it. Why browse the Note 5 forums anyway if you don't have it? Second, let's not...

It IS bias though, from the very start. Hence why I said I would rather buy a small form factor power bank. I like my Note 5, I like the build, and I have no issues carrying around a single powerbank. It's not about being cumbersome, or being efficient and going from 0-100 in the replacement...

My sentiments exactly. Instead of carrying 3 batteries specific to the phone, I'd rather buy a small form factor power bank that has fast charge and can charge all of my mobile devices, with a massive capacity. It's as simple as throwing it into my bag and I'm set.

I went from the N3 straight to the N5, haven't tried the 4. On the 3, as a user, I carried 2 spare batteries and a 64gb microSD card that I never really used. The spare batteries were pretty useful, and the one thing I thought would deter me from the 5 (I don't put many movies and stuff on...

The 3600 mAh battery and the whole waterproofing thing is pretty tempting, but that's it. Still love my N5 and I'll be sticking with it for a while.

I think any microusb will do fine. I bought an Anker cable for 6 bucks and it hasn't steered me wrong yet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012VZT5IO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00&t=androidcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4995442 Also bought a spare...

Re: Fingerprint scanner If the screen is lit up, all you have to do is rest your finger on it and it will unlock. The whole click and hold is to turn it on from a sleep state (screen off). I had trouble for the first week with the fingerprint scanner, then I redid a few of the prints and I...

It's likely a cable issue. I had the same issue until I bought an aftermarket cable and charging unit and it now fast charges every single time I plug it in. I'm pretty sure a few others here have swapped the cable only and had the issue solved.

Really depends on the brand and the batch of protectors. I went through 2 or 3 brands before getting a good one with JETech and that one worked out pretty well.

It all depends on your habits. Some people are ok with just a case and nothing more. But those who take gorilla glass 4 as the end-all-be-all should know that no glass is impervious to damage. I always buy a tempered glass protector because if I'm paying hundreds of dollars on a phone, there...

Re: Locked screen notifications I'm not so sure about that. I know gmail used to have a normal notification icon and show on my lockscreen on my note 3, but I don't recall it ever waking up the screen.
