    Note 5 won't charge, phone has been idle for 3 years

    Success! Magically the phone lit up and showed 1% and started charging. Once it hit 100% I logged in and wiped the phone. The Note 5 is such a nice phone I'm tempted to keep it. [emoji849]

    Note 5 won't charge, phone has been idle for 3 years

    The reason I'm trying to revive the Note is to get a trade in value of $150 towards the Pixel 5. I suppose I could replace the battery and then send the phone in. Or do you think the Note 5 is worth anything as is on Swappa or ebay? The phone is still really pristine and still has a screen...

    Note 5 won't charge, phone has been idle for 3 years

    Thanks for the link. I did try the power/volume down sequence earlier and it didn't do anything.

    Note 5 won't charge, phone has been idle for 3 years

    OK. I'll try 24 hours or overnight. I did 6 or 8 hours and nothing. Thanks.

    Note 5 won't charge, phone has been idle for 3 years

    I haven't used the Note 5 in about 3 years and now when I plug the Samsung charger into it it won't charge. I see the grayed out battery icon with the charge symbol but I don't see the scrolling charge animation. Is there any trick to getting the battery to charge again? Is my only other option...

    Thanks for prompting me to check my cards, all gone again. I'll blame it on Android P this time.

    S8 for $300 with Note 5 trade-in?

    Well yes that was what I was thinking. I would get a S8 and then sell it. What's the more popular color and would attract more interest, midnight black or coral blue?

    S8 for $300 with Note 5 trade-in?

    With the current Samsung trade-in promo I can get $400 back for my Note 5 which brings a new unlocked S8 to $300. I just picked up a Pixel 2 and plan to use that as my phone so I don't plan on using the S8 or any other Samsung phone. It seems the trade-in offer from Samsung is too good to pass...

    Sound /vibration when plugging in charger?

    I made sure it was toggled on in the sounds menu and it doesn't work on the pixel 2 either.

    Who's got one? Impressions?

    I'm considering pairing the gear sport with a pixel 2 and would like to know what functions work and don't work when not using a samsung phone. I'm probably more interested in email/text/call/apps notifications and responses and less concerned about health/sport tracking. I like the current...
