Okay. I have a note 5. 5 1.1 android. Us cellular is the carrier. I did a factory reset already.
I tested the s pen that came with this phone on my friends note 4, the pen worked on hers and her s pen didnt work on mine. I also used an s pen from another note 5 that i know works. Still doesnt work on mine. I went on the s pen settings. And everything is checked. Am i missing/forgetting something ? Thanks for the help!

Good evening folks,
I'm thinking about purchasing a Galaxy Note 5 but I want to make sure that I'll be able to root the phone without creating issues. I currently owned a rooted Galaxy Note 4 that I absolutely love because I was able to get rid of all the bloatware. I will like to be able to do the same for Note 5. Can someone please help me with this? I am looking forward for your response. Thanks in advance.

Who is your carrier? The note 5 is "rootable" but it will stop samsung pay from working for forever, and depending on the carrier could disable your phone.
I will be using T-mobile. I dont really care about samsung pay. I dont think I'll ever use it. How do I root the phone?
There are a lot of methods of rooting the phone but I would like to know which one is the easiest way to do it. Thats pretty much the only thing thats holding me back from buying the phone.

If your interested in t-mobile rooting go to t-mobile section. It's extremely easy. I've rooted in minutes. There are only 2 kernels available but work extremely well.

Well if you want to stay with samsung then you should look into the s7 edge. I am going to try and drag this out until I can preorder the lg v20. I will probably go a week with no phone but I will manage.

Hey thanks man.... so is Samsung discontinuing the note then
I'm in the V20 camp as well. The only thing that makes me nervous is if I hold out for the pre-order I'm worried they'll stop allowing the returns. Has anyone gotten a word on how long they're allowing the returns for? I love this phone but the stigma around it has me over the whole thing sadly.

I have the same concern. I am going to attempt to get a loaner phone from t-mobile so I can return my note 7 asap in case they stop the returns.
I don't understand what's the rush? If there's a recall you can return your phone any time, there isn't a return window.

Right now this is a voluntary return and not a mandatory recall. If things comes out to be the worst then there will be another mandatory recall. So why not wait to see what happens before doing anything?

Because mine has a adhesive bubbling under the glass between the glass and screen

We don't know yet. Samsung's wordings seems to show that they will be resuming manufacturing of the Note after setting up better QC. But they can change plans very quickly at this point in time. So we don't really know what is going to happen at this point in time. If they are discontinuing the Note at this early point in time then there will be a mandatory return type recall.

I don't know if you are joking or not. But if you are not joking then your Note will be the first confirmed China made T-Mobile Note 7 to have this problem. Would like to know if this is true.
If you want to return then either Samsung 7 edge or LG V20. Samsung 7 Edge can use the Gear Fit2 and Gear VR.

I was using my gear vr with my dji phantom 3 pro. Flew for maybe an hour and 20 mins removed the note7 from the head set and noticed the two bubbles instantly I thought dead pixels but turned the device off and they were still there and the fact that color still shows through the spots tells me it's bubbling
Tinythejuggalo said:

I can't tell if that is a pixel issue or glass separating from screen issue. Either case has nothing to do with battery over heating. This is not from over heating battery problems.
Regardless which one is the issue these are warranty issues and can return (under T-Mobile's new return policy for Note 7) or exchange. If want to exchange under warranty then you can return device and get a loaner phone from T-Mobile to use until new Notes start manufacturing again or wait for recall. That is unless you want another device then take advantage T-Mobile's return new policy for the Note 7 and get another device.
Again: This is a manufacturing defect and not an over heating battery issue.

I just contacted T-Mobile on their twitter help page. Apparently they don't have a return window for the replacement units either. So if for any reason you're not confident in the phone, you can take it in for a refund and exchange. It is a voluntary return at this point and not a recall, but they will allow a full refund outside the 14 day window for the foreseeable future. So we should be able to hang out to our phones until the v20 comes out from what I understand.

Excuse me.... I don't want to just return out of the 14 day window... personally love the note series I've had the 3,4,5,and now two 7s my 4 was rooted running overdrive n5 port till I could buy the note 5........ And this has to do with battery overheating because if it wouldn't have gotten hot the adhesive wouldn't not have bubbled..... as there was no issue before........... I really wish I would have just kept the v1 note 7 since mine was a China model with no issue

Its more of a confidence thing at this point. The phone has this black cloud over it (metaphorically). I'm tired of the jokes and the Note 7 memes popping up everywhere and co-workers asking if the phone has blown up yet. I know the chances of the phone burning up are slim to none, but now I'm paranoid and constantly checking to make sure the phone isn't heating up. I love the phone, but it's rapidly becoming a love/hate relationship to the point I'm starting to resent the damn thing, as dumb as that sounds. If people want to keep their phones, more power to them. I'm just frustrated and over the whole thing.

I put my note 8 in the note 8 version vr and close it together. It will stay black and occasionally flash white. Only thing I've done to my phone is switch from the unlocked stock firmware to at&t firmware in Odin. I've tried factory reset, uninstalling all vr apps, same results. I put an s7 edge in the vr and it works, not the headset. Phone usb connected to dex and computer without issues. Any ideas?

Hey, sorry you haven't gotten any input here. I thought for sure someone would be able to fix you up. I've got one more place for you to try and get a new set of eyes and perhaps a solution:

Yeah I'm baffled by this. I'm thinking of bringing it to a shop to have the usb c connector checked for defect or something blocking the connections. Thanks for the additional outlet to try.

You ever figure this out. Im having very similar issue. I plug into VR and nothing happens but everything else works fine. Started happening after an update, I think.

Yeah, it's the Oculus apps compatibility with the Note 8 according to Samsung I talked to them earlier today. They claim an update will be coming sooner or later.
Gear VR ans Note 8 mit connecting
Same here!
Then I tried to pair my Samsung Controller and immediately my Note 8 asked for Internet and installed a bunch of Software, about 4x Samsung VR Apps and 8x Oculus Apps.
After that everything runs as expected )
Hey guys. I'm on the unbranded, unlocked Snapdragon Note 9 on Metro. I am constantly having high amounts of battery drain from the PHONE app. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solution?
What's under additional info on that screenshot? Is it built in samsung phone app?
Wait... these things have a PHONE in them?! You mean like actually TALKING to another human being?

I have not had a problem with the phone app using a large amount of battery. Is is the native phone app that comes with the phone or an alternate? I personally turn off the stock app with package disabler and use a modded pixel phone app which I like a lot more. Have you tried the standards of wiping the cache, etc.?

By the looks of it, no. I'm also in NYC, although on Tmobile (which runs Metro PCS). You didn't mention a couple things. You said you are unbranded, is that how the phone came or did you manually install the unbranded firmware. Did you buy the phone new, in box? Is your phone app perhaps spending its time looking for something that your phone does not have installed (if you manually flashed a different firmware)? What sort of location features do you have enabled in the phone app itself? Have you had this issue since the beginning, if not, how long. Can you relate it to anything that happened or anything you may have done? I am honestly just guessing here and trying to maybe steer the conversation to a culprit, I've never had this issue.

Samsung + notified me of this behavior on two occasions and it hasn't happened again since I created this thread. I use the stock Samsung phone app. I honestly don't know what caused it but I'm happy it's not still going on
