Re: Adios Friends--Why I Returned to The Dark Side (or Cupertino). I actually just poised that question. Like I said in the follow up, my buddy;s Verizon was fine and he had no sense of 3rd party boundaries or *ahem* app-rehension. I very likely think it may not only be an AT&T thing, but an...

Re: Adios Friends--Why I Returned to The Dark Side (or Cupertino). No doubt on that. I wasnt just beeing cheeky about the Google tracking device. My biggest regret of jumping ship at this point is missing the new google Allo messenger app and its Assitant that looks to be amazing. Most...

Re: Adios Friends--Why I Returned to The Dark Side (or Cupertino). I feel like I broke the cardinal rule and insulted Android or the device. I miss my Note 5 terribly. Don't believe the articles about not detecting the difference between screens. In fact, don't believe the articles about...

Adios Friends--Why I Returned to The Dark Side (or Cupertino). Dear friends, over the last year of owning a Samsung Galaxy Note 5 I've come to know you all too well. In fact, these posts mark the first time after a decade of tech forum browsing--I ever actually posted. You saw me during the...

Its funny, its been almost a year since I first read this post, and I just got off the phone trying to figure out my connection problems with the 5th Note 5 warranty replacement Ive had with AT&T. I just don't think Samsung and AT&T work well together. Definitely not buying a Samsung device as...

Sorry y'all, late comer here. Had to get an ATT microcell because of my terrible Note 5 coverage at home. After several pained hours getting the thing to work, immediately stumbled onto the problem y'all had. Its Samsung's terrible Message App. After being admonished by ATT about third party...

I finally drove down to Houston to the real Samsung Tech Center. They Flashed my phone with some sort of mega-flash software I guess is not available to the mere mortals at AT&T and Best Buy Samsung Repair centers, and my phone has worked flawlessly since. They cited a conflict between Amazon...

Same here boss, but it came back for me. The samsung rep who told me that it is a knkwn issue now and being addressed also said youtube can instigate it. The droid optimizer stop background all thing does remedy it every time, which helps when you don't have the time to reboot the phone. I would...

ATTENTION EVERYONE!! THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AND IS BEING FIXED IN NEXT PATCH. Only Samsung told me so though. AT&T seems clueless to this, also when they will release the next update/ Which is unfortunate because that is my carrier. But the Problem was officially recognized some time...

Never****ingmind, just happened again. Good thing I haven't returned the phone with the brighter screen. Facebook Messenger seems to have been the one that initiated its but since it's first appearance, it has returned multiple times. If I were someone looking for a new phone, I would avoid the...

Well it's been 24 hours. Fully updated with all apps I used and not a one glitch. Tomorrow I'll load my music on it and see what hapoens. It may just be you have to keep getting a replacement till you get one that works. I'll report back in 2 days or a glitch, whichever happens first.

I meant it's 7% dimmer with brightness fully cranked without auto brightness enabled.

Unfortunately, the update had no option to delay, ergo unavoidable. On the bright side, so far no problems. BUT on the DIM side this new phone definitely has a screen that is about 7% Darker, even at full capacity with no auto brightness. WTF! Cant I just have a normal phone?? OR is this a...

Okay yall. On phone SEVEN! Setting it up now. This one hasn't come with the most recent AT&T firmware pre-installed. I'm going to try to not load it while using the phone, first barebones setup, then all apps until it comes back (or hopefully not). If it does then all the Chat Heads, Messenger...

LOL ok you're Trolling. When I say everyone has tried all options I mean....https://youtu.be/74BzSTQCl_c
