    How do I sync Outlook calendar on my PC with Google calendar on my new Galaxy S7?

    Are you using an Exchange or Office365 account? If so, you can just add this account on your phone and the calendar will sync.

    Note 5 Root - pros and cons?

    Re: Note 5 Rooted I rooted my Note 5 as I read several people stating the performance was improved by using an alternative Kernel. And so it did... I've been using the Gundal kernel on my SM-N9200 and the scrolling lag which plagues the Note 5 is all but gone. XDA is the place to find this kind...

    IPhone 6S Plus versus Note 5: my experience side-by-side and dilemma

    Scrolling performance can be quite dramatically improved through rooting and installing one of the well received custom kernels and disabling as much bloatware as you can. It's a damn shame the Note 5 performs so poorly in this department right out of the box, but that how it is. Inexcusable imo.

    How do I dismiss notifications quickly?

    Exactly my thoughts. For me it would be perfect if they just added one simple addition: swiping up on all notification views dismisses it. Simple.

    Samsung Gear S2 and it's ONE HUGE Downside!

    It works fine for replying messages, but the search function sucks big time. I've never actually used S-Voice on my note 5 so I don't know if it's better/worse than the implementation on the watch. Having said that, it's not really such a big downside for me. It's not a key functionality for...

    a list of apps that work with the Gear S2; please add to it here

    Once Spotify is playing on the phone, you can control it on the watch. I think that's it, just basic controls, no play lists searching or anything.

    Note 5 - headphone jack audio performance measurements

    There will be no difference in audio quality when using PowerAmp. If you prefer the UI than sure, go for it. Only differences (as far as I know) that can be obtained would be by using something like Viper4Android which changes the way your Android device will route audio. But that requires root...

    Happy with note 5?

    No it doesn't. Not within 3rd party apps or UI elements like the drop down notifications or the multitasking carrousel. It did improve scrolling in widgets.

    Happy with note 5?

    It's good but not great. I enjoy nearly all aspects of it, but little performance issues stop me from really loving it. They're small things, but personally they irk me ... Frame drops in UI animations. Some how Touchwiz is still not as smooth as it can be. Coming from a OnePlus One with 2...

    Battery life after update?

    Can't really say i've seen much improvement. It only just started optimizing apps. Apprently it takes 3 days for it to work out which apps to optimize. Strangely, after the update I'm seeing large battery drain for the "Google app". 6%, which is as much as my screen... Not sure what causes this.

    Note 5 Titanium Silver

    The N9200 apparently has a different modem (duo Sim, Samsung part). Which also makes rooting and unlocking the bootloader completely different to the single SIM ones.

    Anybody here uses the Note 5 completely naked?

    Re: anybody here uses the Note5 completely naked? What he said. I love the design and it looks great, but too damn slippery especially in this humid Hong Kong weather. I put a Dbrand skin on the back which helped somewhat. Can't stand cases.

    What is ONE thing you would change about the note 5?

    Better scrolling performance 3rd party apps. Scrolling is poor. Less little lags across the UI.
