    How do I use Verizon Note 5 with unlimited data to do USB tether of internet with Macbook Pro?

    you can buy it from an existing unlimited data customer... price varies.... I've seen people selling it for as much as $670

    How do I use Verizon Note 5 with unlimited data to do USB tether of internet with Macbook Pro?

    Just get a Nexus 6. No need to use FoxFi or any other app. Just use the Nexus 6 and the default hotspot. Or... use VPN... which renders hotspotting undetectable. (more accurately, it will be indistinguishable from traffic coming from the Note 5) Just look it up in XDA or Flyertalk forums

    the screen feels really warm(119 degrees) when charging using the fast charger.... is this normal?

    you know what? that's just what I was thinking about... where the heck is the accessories menu in setting? can't seem to find it.

    Re: American Express and Samsung Pay Almost every other day, someone tells me "hey, you're new big iPhone is so cool!" sometimes I feel like punching them. Is that wrong? :( It's a bloody Samsung Galaxy Note 5!!!!

    Re: Samsung Pay experiences... when I use my Bank of American debit Visa card, I've never had to enter the PIN. Are you saying if I use that card with Samsugn Pay, I end up having to use the PIN? :( (which makes it less convenient than just using the actual BoA card?) :(

    VZW Galaxy Note 2 repeatedly getting MMS from stranger today with attachment that can't be opened?

    What's that? Is that an anti-virus app? I'll look into it... (EDIT: holy cow... I coudln't be more wrong... I just read and found out what this Stagefright thin is... do you think that's what I've got? :( ) I don't have any anti-virus on any of my phone... probably a bad idea? All the 4...

    the screen feels really warm(119 degrees) when charging using the fast charger.... is this normal?

    3 hours to charge from 10% to 100% using 750mA charger isn't that bad. If I'm in a hurry, I can always switch to the Samsung 2A charger or the Note 5's own faster charger. Sorry.. I guess I forgot to mention why I was even wondering about this issue. I never sell my old phones. I currently...

    VZW Galaxy Note 2 repeatedly getting MMS from stranger today with attachment that can't be opened?

    I have a very old Verizon Galaxy Note 2 that I keep in the car as a spare phone. It has a deactivated AT&T SIM card inside. I usually leave it off, but I turned it on and left it on yesterday. This morning, the Note 2 started getting text message notifications which showed up in Hangouts...

    How do I use Verizon Note 5 with unlimited data to do USB tether of internet with Macbook Pro?

    does Verizon specifically say unlimited data customers CANNOT use FoxFi to tether, unless they are paying the $30 hotspot fee? are there any reports from people who have been told by Verizon not to do it?

    the screen feels really warm(119 degrees) when charging using the fast charger.... is this normal?

    When my Note 5's battery went down to 10% last night, I decided to test my "theory" with an old Samsung flip-phone 750mA USB charger. It sure took a long time to charge from 10% to 100%... 3 hours and 11 minutes. However, there was almost no change in the temperature of the phone at all...

    why isn't Note 5 as popular as iPhone 6s Plus in South Korea where Samsung is from?

    what alternate universe Korea do you live in where government workers can afford a Ferrari, Audi or Maybach? :) but if true, I'm learning Korean in order to get a job there!
