Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

Bud just get the Note 5 again. You know you want to. I'm loving it since I switched back from the 6S Plus

I might pick up one soon. I'm trying to hold out to see if Verizon will get the gold before I go with another Sapphire.

If they were going to release a gold version, you would think they would release it about now for Christmas.
 
Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

I'm getting irritated with myself because I keep switching back and forth between the two platforms. I just want to make a decision already and stick with it. Had the iPhone 6S on launch weekend. Nothing wrong with it. Really enjoyed it actually. And it complemented my iPad Air 2 perfectly. But yesterday was day 13 of my 14 day return window and I panicked. Went out and exchanged it for the Note 5. Bought a case, screen protector, and wireless charger. So, I'm all in. Haven't touched my beloved iPad since. Now here is the problem. When I use the note, I don't want to use any complementary devices. After a while, I miss my iPad and I want to switch back, but I need the iPhone to go with it. I have been doing this for years. And it's making me feel quite ridiculous. But I can't choose. And I don't know why.

I do the exact same thing! It's to the point where there are so many options and we are so spoiled I'm. Never content with it... And it's just a phone. The last time I brought something back and returned it near the end of the 15 days I had anxiety about it haha, and that's just plain ridiculous.

I'm just so happy that Rogers here in Canada have the 64GB. Silver and Black. Only had Black when I went but I probably would have gotten it regardless if the Titanium Silver was in probably

I'm so glad that my Note 5 and I are getting along because I very much dislike the process of returning a phone. Firstly, they always look at you like you did something to the phone or that you are trying to pull a scam on them. Secondly, it costs way too much money to return a phone and get something else. It also doesn't help when you have embarrassed yourself like I did at BestBuy. Apparently there is a limit to how many times you can return a device. Some years ago I was in a very bad way trying to decide between two phones; the Palm Pre and the HTC Hero. I returned each phone 3 times each in a span of 2 weeks. And then I was told I couldn't purchase another smartphone from BestBuy. I was definitely ashamed. Even this last time when I returned my iPhone 6S, the customer service representative asked me if there was anything wrong with the iPhone. I said nope, it was perfect. He asked, "Mr. Williams, why are you returning it?" And I responded with,"Because I want the Note 5." He looked at me confused. I know he wanted to ask me why I just didn't get the Note the first time. But anywho. We did the exchange and I went on my merry way. But, it does make for an awkward situation sometimes.

I have to add that since getting the Note 5, I have really been enjoying it. The s-pen is a dream. I just hope that mine doesn't break :(
 
Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

Yeah almost 2 weeks now since selling the 6S Plus. I think this Tuesday will be 2 weeks. Been a blast with this phone. Def the best all around smartphone I've had.
 
Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

What is the average SOT that some of you are getting on the Note 5? Does anyone think it will get better with an update to Marshmallow?

Can't go back now. In Canada we get 15 days or 30 min talk time on the device. Whatever comes first. I blew through the 30 within the first hour of having the phone on a conference call.

Getting around the 5hr mark consistently
 
Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth

There are days I wish I would've given the Note 5 at least a week before I traded it in for the 6plus. Either that or waited till the MXPE came out.

I wasn't saying that iPhone batteries are better than ones found in Android phones. Just that a phone that doesn't last long means that the battery will have to go through more charge and discharge cycles thereby shortening the life span of the battery.

How many people actually send their phone out to get their battery replaced as opposed to just upgrading their phone? I'm betting it's a small percentage.

I'm just a little worried that a battery that needs to be charged 2-3 times during a 24 hour period, for heavy users, will not last or be as efficient over the entire 2 years that I use it.

My 6 plus will easily get me from 4am to the end of the day around 10pm on one charge and often has plenty to spare.

If the Note 5 had a removable battery, there's no question that I would've kept it. I just would've bought a spare battery. I wanted to like the G4 but wasn't impressed with the screen on it compared to Samsung. Overall, I'm not impressed with battery efficiency in any Android phone out there.

The arguments that people used to use for not buying an iPhone, being always connected to a charger instead of being able to pop in a fresh battery, seem to be the things that those same people are sweeping under the rug or compromising or denying so they disable or remove apps to get a longer battery life.

I'll hop off my soapbox now. I know some things are more important to others. Many will not mind being tied to a charger all day or are just light cell phone users. I feel anxiety whenever my battery dips below 40%. Most days I leave work I have 50%+ battery left.

I'm a heavy user, I charge mine once a day. I don't know anyone that charges their phone 2-3 times a day. If your Note 5 isn't making it through the day, there is an issue that needs to be addressed.

Depends on SOT and what you use your phone for. I'm a heavy user. Unplugged at 8am and it's now 2pm. Have 2.5 hrs screen time and at 63% left. I can never make it through a day. I can get home by 5pm with juice still left but no way I can get to 10pm before I go to bed

Are you serious? 30 minutes? So... if you get your brand new device and your wife calls you as soon as you get it and talks to you for 30 minutes and when you get home, you realize that your phone is defective, you are now unable to return it?
