    Seidio Cases for Note 8 Available Now.

    Look man, it's physics and it's the exact same across all units. The small magnet creates circular distortions on the bottom middle-left of the screen where the kickstand magnet is. I managed to remove the entire kickstand piece easily from inside the back of the case and am no longer damaging...

    Seidio Cases for Note 8 Available Now.

    It's been more than 4 days and no one has answered. Guess this forum is dead. I'll just leave my findings here for anyone who might google this case and note 8 wondering. Yes, the magnet does interfere with the s-pen. Even if you have the kickstand pulled back, there's still another magnet in...

    Seidio Cases for Note 8 Available Now.

    I'm looking for anyone who has the Note 8 and the SEIDIO Surface case to please report in on a concern I have regarding the magnetic kickstand and the S-Pen functionality. Can anyone do a very thorough test confirming that the magnet in the case does not interfere with the magnet in the screen...

    40-80% charging method [Note 5]

    No, don't. Unless you're okay with your battery losing 50% of it's capacity in about a year-year and a half. I intend on keeping my Note 5 for as long as possible (I went 3 solid years with a Note 2 and would have gone longer if Verizon didn't push me to upgrade and give up my unlimited data.)...

    Android Marshmallow on Note 5 - Has anyone upgraded to it yet?

    This is taking forever to get out. Either Marshmallow is significant and putting up a fight for Samsung, or Samsung is getting cheap and lazy(er) with updating their phones. Note 5 is a flagship, and less than a year old and still hasn't received a single major OS upgrade. That's pretty awful...

    USB cable head gets extremely hot whilst charging the Note 5

    This is completely normal behavior for Fast Charging. You are not getting the heat with the cable from your car charger because it doesn't use as much current as the OEM one. Watch your charge rates drop to at least double between 0-80% compared to the stock cable.

    How do I get out of a group text message on the Galaxy Note 5?

    Re: How do I get out of a group text message on the galaxy note 5? Sadly it does not. I get group messages from friends sending stupid spammy stuff all the time and removing myself from the group does nothing. As soon as someone replies to the group message, bam I'm right back where I started...

    Note 5 - Marshamallow when will we get it???

    I am so sick of Verizon and their shoddy update practices. The Note 4 is only one year old and already they're putting it in OTA limbo hell hoping to just nuke it from their support list entirely. Lazy and the greediest of all the carrier services. Once this contract is up, I'm gone for good. 11...

    Wow! 7 hours of screen on time and still 28% battery life to go!? Need some more info on this: - What was your screen brightness set to? If auto, were you inside in the dark most of the time? - What apps were you using mostly to rack up that much screen time? - I see that you are on WiFi but...

    Please Help! Urgent! Phone Wont respond, only a green LED blinking

    He just said that didn't work, in the OP. This is exactly the scenario I was asking about and worried in regards to no removable battery. These OS's are not water proof, they tend to have bugs and hard locks. The ONLY solution is manually powering the device down. Capacitive buttons are still...

    Couple questions about getting the Verizon Note 5

    Good replies, thanks guys. One last question I forgot to put in the OP. I see that the phone no longer has an accessible battery or SD Card. How do you deal with a hard lock? Right now, when my Note 2 completely freezes, I have to pull the battery for it to finally shut off and reboot. What...

    Couple questions about getting the Verizon Note 5

    Right now I am still using an old Note 2 and it still gets the job done just fine. I don't mind keeping it, yeah it's getting boring and old, but just like the wife that's no good enough reason to replace her. Unfortunately Verizon is being jerks about us grandfathered unlimited data people and...
