    Note 5 - Just Got My Gifts of the Season

    Re: Just Got My Gifts of the Season The value on these gift packages seem pretty insane to me. Considering I got a $50 rebate, adding in headphones that sell for more than $100, a battery pack that retails for ~$70, and a wireless charger that isn't cheap either. I seem like I got a great...

    Best minimal case for Note 5

    I just received my Caseology Vault series case on Saturday and am loving it so far. I can't post link/pictures at work but it's easily found for ~$15 on Amazon. It pretty much fits the bill for exactly what you're looking for.

    Car mount For Note 5

    Car Phone Holders and Dashboard Phone Mounts - ProClip USA IMHO the best car mounts available. They are made especially for your make/model of car and then the second piece is made specifically for your phone. Put one of these in my wife's car and it looks like a stock feature.

    Spigen Rugged Armor vs. Caseology Vault?

    Anyone have experience with either or both of these cases? Any recommendation? Couldn't find any comparisons in the other thread. Thanks!

    Upgrading from Galaxy S4?

    Anyone know of any good cross platform apps that would provide the same functionality as iMessage for videos. Disappointed to realize that Hangouts allows for most of the functionality except for sending video, which I assume I will want to use more once my kid is born.

    Upgrading from Galaxy S4?

    Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like everyone responding was happy with the move - perhaps that is to be expected in the Note 5 forum. Are people finding the 32GB is enough? I'd love to save $100 but not sure if most people think that's too little hard drive space.

    Upgrading from Galaxy S4?

    Hey guys, Currently looking to upgrade from the S4. Other than a brief period between updates about a year ago when I was having massive battery drain the phone was my favorite out of all the smart phones I've ever had due to the combination of size/performance/customization options. My wife...

    Battery Life Screen Captures.

    I'm in the same boat - including having just come from a iPhone 4s with similar battery life before coming to the S4. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong compared to others but I'm just not seeing that sort of battery life.

    Galaxy S4 with no voicemail notifications

    Works fine with your current cell number. People call my regular cell number and are taken to the Google Voicemail if I don't answer. It works exactly the same way as the iPhone visual voicemail once you set it up correctly (more difficult on Verizon but not rocket science)

    Galaxy S4 with no voicemail notifications

    Yes, I prefer to set it to work just like the iPhone where you can access the "visual voicemail" right from your missed calls list but I believe it defaults to work on the Voice app. You get a message saying that you can't set up the voicemail on the phone through Verizon (not sure why) but you...

    Galaxy S4 Micro SD Card Unmounting During Boot

    Same here - it used to happen every time I rebooted my phone but hasn't happened once since I updated.

    Voicemail Question

    I'll do my best. I believe the order I did it was: 1) Download Google Voice app 2) Go through set up on there - eventually it should tell you that on Verizon you are unable to set this up directly from your phone 3) Log into your Google account at voice.google.com 4) Click the settings menu 5)...

    Link to Verizon Change Log PDF

    My phone seems a bit speedier with less lag/stuttering after the update. So far I'm very pleased since it made an already great phone even better.

    Voicemail Question

    You have to use your computer to do it on Verizon. Definitely work to figure it out because it's amazing once you do. Also check the settings after to enable integration to your phone - after that the voicemail works almost exactly like the iPhone which is so much nicer than dialing in to...

    Galaxy S4 with no voicemail notifications

    As someone with Verizon you're currently making a mistake not setting up your Voicemail through Google Voice. It's 1000x better than the stock Verizon voicemail and even integrates into your phone with visual voicemail like the iPhone. I'm kind of shocked that not everyone is doing this already.
