    How to enable night mode on Android Auto on the phone?

    Did you get this to work? I'm having the same issue, and forcing night mode in dev options does nothing.

    Essential for $450 at Best Buy...

    I assumed this would be the case at first, but verified with several reps that the "lease buyout" fee after the 18 month lease would be $30. The lease pricing is not via a monthly service credit, so it shouldn't be an issue to cancel the lease early.

    Essential for $450 at Best Buy...

    If you're a Sprint customer, you may want to check their website tomorrow. ;) Edit: lease pricing $25 down, $5/month. 18 month lease, but if you choose to buy it out of the lease it's just 6 additional payments. So the total cost to own would be $145.

    Has anyone else experienced massive delays with Assurion on Sprint?

    I had a customer just yesterday with this exact same issue, was told up to 14 day backorder to get his Note 5 replacement from Assurion. Felt awful for the guy, it's his business phone. Some of the alternate solutions I've been utilizing: If the line is upgrade eligible, maybe do an upgrade...

    Travelling to France with my Note 5...can it be done?

    Depending on your wireless carrier, you may have to request an international SIM unlock first, and possibly change some settings in your phone. Posted via the Android Central App

    I have no UICC # for my note 5

    The UICC number is the SIM number. If there's a Sprint SIM card in the phone, that will have the number printed on it. If there's no SIM, you can get one from a Sprint store or have one sent to you for free.

    Switching Sprint Note 5 to Straight Talk!?!

    No problem. Something I should have added earlier (I didn't read and notice that you're a reseller, not that there's anything wrong with that) we are supposed to authenticate the account to do a DSU unlock. So you may need the Sprint account owner's PIN to do this.

    Switching Sprint Note 5 to Straight Talk!?!

    No, I don't. But I am a CSR for Sprint Wireless business care, and have done more than a few of these unlocks. The issue may be that you're getting the MSL. MSL was used for unlocking older devices. You would take the phone and MSL to the new carrier, and they would decide whether or not to...

    Switching Sprint Note 5 to Straight Talk!?!

    IIRC, it's 50 days. Of course that's just one of the requirements, any contract / installment billing agreement / lease would also have to be cleared, and the account can't be delinquent. THEN Sprint can submit the unlock.

    After updating my Samsung Note 5, why can't I crop photos?

    Re: After updating Sam Note 5 why can't crop photos? This one threw me for a loop as well. From the gallery, select, EDIT then ADJUSTMENT. It'll bring up the screen where it only looks like you can tilt/rotate the photo. But you can also crop from this screen. Just grab any of the 4 corners and...

    NEED HELP ASAP- Sprint Samsung Note 5

    Sprint will do the unlocking. Have the current owner call in and request a "dsu unlock". He may have to authenticate his current account.

    Looks like Sprint is next!

    Pinch on your home screen to zoom out. You should see an option at the bottom of the screen for "grid size". Select 5x5.

    How do I unlock my Samsung Galaxy S5 from Sprint so I can use it on Virgin mobile?

    Re: unlock samsung galaxy s5 from sprint so i can use it on virgin mobile I'm guessing you've already got this resolved, but I'll put the info here anyways. Because Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile are both owned by Sprint, moving from Sprint to one of those prepaid carriers isn't a normal...

    NEED HELP ASAP- Sprint Samsung Note 5

    If you purchased the phone on installment billing, you'll have to pay it off, then possibly wait a couple days, then Sprint will be able to unlock the phone. If you purchased on-contract (discounted), you'll have to pay the ETF for Sprint to be able to unlock the phone. This call may take a...
