    Anyone else waiting on 6P ship?

    I ordered mine (Graphite 64GB) on the morning of 12/7. I got a shipping notification that evening, but the phone didn't actually get sent out until early Wednesday AM. Received it Thursday 12/10. So definitely contact someone or cancel/reorder. That seems weird.

    Thinking about a 6P - How is the display color temperature?

    Thanks guys. So, it won't quite live up to the Note 5, but it wont' bother me either it sounds like. I'm not super picky, but using the Moto X and then going to my iPad or Laptop or Note 5 really shows how poorly calibrated the X screen is. It's fine if that's all your using and you don't notice...

    Thinking about a 6P - How is the display color temperature?

    Well yeah, I can do the same on an old Moto X, but that doesn't mean it's pleasing to do so. Display calibration is important to some people, maybe just not you.

    Thinking about a 6P - How is the display color temperature?

    I'm not TOO worried about brightness. From what I've read, it seems like it's certainly bright enough, even if it's not quite Note 5 brightness. (Which is nothing short of amazing how well I can read the Note 5 in direct sunlight). Oversaturation is fine as Note 5 is the same. I'm more worried...

    Thinking about a 6P - How is the display color temperature?

    Long story short... Had a Moto X 2014 for the last year, bought a Note 5 in August. The note 5 is driving me crazy lately with these tiny audio glitches, and a bluetooth issue that there seems to be no fix for. Terrible range and won't stay connected to smartwatches or speakers. That led me to...

    Cannot keep Note 5 paired to my Cars Bluetooth

    http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5/570201-note-5-bluetooth-issue-5.html See that thread- a LOT of us are having issues with Bluetooth. Although yours seems like a slightly different issue.

    Note 5 not syncing with Fitbit

    Possibly due to an overarching Bluetooth issue with many Note 5's. See this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5/570201-note-5-bluetooth-issue.html I turn Wifi off when I want to sync, and just sync sporadically throughout the day rather than having 'all day sync'...

    Samsung Pay - Does NOT work with these Card Readers???

    I have an issue with a different type of terminal. At Wawa, I can hold my phone up to the terminal, it'll beep as though it went through, but it just crashes the machine. I can't swipe my card either after it beeps. I have to hand it to the cashier for them to swipe it. Really weird, because it...

    Note 5 Bluetooth issue

    Yeah, I'm hopeful there will be a software fix, but not expecting one.

    Note 5 Bluetooth issue

    This is all so frustrating. Even if I get to do a replacement, seems like the issue persists on a majority of the phones out there. Most people just dont' notice since they dont' pair a smartwatch. I chalked it up as an issue with my BT speaker until I got the FitBit. I really hope this is...

    Note 5 Bluetooth issue

    I'm experiencing this issue as well, likely have been since day one but it hasn't bothered me enough until I recently got a Fitbit and tried to pair/sync. Phone was purchased the weekend of release from a Best Buy. I have three connected Bluetooth devices, a car audio system, UE Boom Speaker...

    Top half of S Pen "shell" broke off inside phone and is now stuck...I guess?

    Mine did the same thing. Didn't break off due to dropping, but I was using it and I heard a crack. I put it back together and thought all was fine, but when I went to pull the pen back out later, only the top half came out. Sticking a paperclip or other item in there to 'pry' it out was of no...

    S Pen broken

    Welp. Half of my pen is stuck in the phone, the other half came out. Pen had zero issues until now, I went to pull it out, and the thing must have snapped or broke while pulling it out. So now half of the pen is in the phone, and the top is on my desk. Can't just buy a new pen, because the old...

    Note 5 vs Note 4 discussion

    I feel like I'm in the complete minority. I considered the Note 4, but the size was just slightly too big, the design just slightly too ugly, and just not enough convincing features for me and I went with the Moto X. This year it's a bit less wide, feels great in the hand, the design is...
