    Note 5 user- note 8 or 9..

    Good to hear. It's not that I can't spend the money on the 9, it's just that I want it to be $1000+ well spent. And by that I mean the phone operate properly. My note 5 was I guess, ~$900 and I was pretty upset that I was having battery/screen/charging port issues less than 3 months into owning...

    Note 5 user- note 8 or 9..

    Ok, as the title says, I'm stumped on which to go with. Here's my situation. I have a note 5, which I have previously posted about on here. I've had it since launch (~3 yrs) and the battery is finally shot. Not surprised, but the issue is I can't find a quality battery. Tried replacing it...

    Wow. Hate to hear that. I love the functionality of the note but I have had my fair share of unhappy experiences with Samsung customer service.

    Note 5 tragic Battery life

    Thank you guys very much, and rukbat, that's a very good idea. I'll have to try that. Maybe it is this Battery, because it just dropped from 100% to 83% in 6 Minutes of standby. Fingers crossed. Battery life has never just been exceptional on here, but it's almost not even usable now. I...

    Note 5 tragic Battery life

    I've had this issue in the past- and it remedied itself for a while. Here's the deal. I bought my 64gb note 5 through AT&T maybe a week after release. I had lots of issues with it, including screen coming unglued from the frame, charging port issues, etc. Samsung kept "fixing" it under...

    Weird Screen Damage

    See, here is one where the glass got ripped out but the blue coloring remained on the phone

    Weird Screen Damage

    It is the "foil" on the back of the screen separating. These screens are actually clear glass with a foil adhered to them for the coloring. Happened to two of my Samsung phones on a hard drop.

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    Damnit, dropped this thing last night and cracked the back. I've replaced many of them on customers devices but I hate to lose my original back with the IMEI and all that good stuff. I plan on keeping this phone. Does anyone have any neat tricks/mods to recommend for this device? Can it be rooted?

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    Sweet. I may look into rooting it. I rooted my s5 long ago and it was great. That battery life on your note 4 is insane

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    Oh I agree. I killed off Facebook and all its associated apps. I actually rarely use Twitter on the the phone at least, and Instagram is an every once in a while deal too. Snapchat, on the other hand, I do use a lot

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    Well today guys, my battery is doing awesome. 3 1/2 hrs of time off the charger, and I'm only down to 77%. I turned my brightness down a little more. Also, this may or may not have anything to do with it, but usually I use a Ghostek atomic 2.0 case (which is a bulky, waterproof, fully enclosed...

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    It seems like no matter what, the screen is always pulling the most. Do you guys see the same thing? I have my screen set very efficiently, at least I think so

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    So yeah, as can be seen here, Facebook sucks So I deleted it. Don't need It that much to not be able to use my phone efficiently. I'll get on a computer to do that

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    That would make sense. Because Facebook messenger was moving so slowly that I got mad and deleted it. Let's try this again
