When I had a 6 Plus I used One Note to handle my grocery list. IMO it is a very clumsy implementation in iOS. With my Note 5 I grab my pen and write it on my Whiteboard widget. Takes a fraction of the time and its always there for me to see. A good example showing what Android can do versus an app launcher (i)OS.

Why should I give up on this phone? After working out the nearby cell tower's RF issues, the Note 5 is working very well. Battery is fine, all the apps and software are integrated nicely.

Disable Facebook messenger, no more corner un- responsiveness. Note 5 is awesome! Tried a turbo 2 for 10 days, sent it back for this and didn't look back

I am a new Note 5 owner and love the phone, but I have been experiencing a lot of wifi/ Lte signal issues, I live in the woods but my old iphone 5 connected with no issues. I am getting close to my 2 weeks trial period and have been contemplating an iphone 6s plus.

I had this issue, hasn't occurred a single time since I removed Facebook messenger from my phone. Garbage app they force on us to view our messages. Luckily I don't use Facebook much.

IPhone 6 has a slightly better antenna.I switched to a Note 5 on T Mobile and I started to lose signal on various things. But i liked the Note 5 enough to switch to AT&T and my signal strength improved significantly. Now thankful for the no contract world. I used the 6 Plus for several months. It bored me.

I had the opposite. My iPhone 6 Plus had the worst signal strength than any of my devices. I am using a 6P now and it's great (also all on T-Mobile).

Interesting. Hard to tell on the iPhone since they don't want people to know about signal strength numbers and those bars are useless. I just know that the Note 5 had big trouble pulling signal on T Mobile at work and DL speed was horrible. I had used an iPhone 6 Plus for the preceding seven months without problem.

Not so much leaving the Note 5, but taking a vacation. I've been dying to use the Nexus 6P, which will also be my first Nexus. I'm making that happen today. If all else fails I turn around when my upgrade is up in three weeks and away I go with the Note 5 again.

You can have the -dBm show on iPhone. It just isn't on by default. The link below explains how.

My earlier comment was signal strength in regards to -dBm (not bubbles).
