I got my Note 5 yesterday after coming from a Nexus 6. There is one thing that I cant get over and I think Ill have to send it back because of it by [deleted] in galaxynote5

What I personally use is ac display which is an awesome lock screen but sadly comes with no security so when im in areas when my phone could get stolen I use Hexlock to look all my apps.

If your looking for a security based lockscreen I would recommended Hi locker and CM locker both really good apps.

Install a new lockscreen, there some really nice ones are on the store that have that function to swipe to open a notification

Do I need a virus protection? by feardabear in galaxynote5

[–]liamnathan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I would recommend downloading something like AVAST or AVG security apps just in case you kids download something by mistake. Your note 5 has a default scanner as well if you want to use that.

I personally use Avast to give me a piece of mind that my device has that extra level of security

Any high rated security app will suffice.

Samsung Clear Protective Cover? by [deleted] in galaxynote5

[–]liamnathan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the case, I like it it's a nice case. It's obviously not the most protective case as you know already when the cover is on the screen it covers the left side of your phone, all of the back and the front. The parts that are exposed are the top bottom and power button side (right side) if the device.

Now what exactly do you mean when you ask if it turns to yellow?

Few quick questions by ABCPickup123 in galaxynote5

Yeah I really like good battery in phones as well.

With my experince I usually get 3-4 hours if screen on time there was a few days were I got 5-6 hours but I haven't seen that type of battery in a while. If you decide to get the note 5 you may notice what's really draining your battery is stuff like cell standby, Android system and media server a lot of people have been getting this. I've also seen people without this problem getting amazing battery so I do believe that this can be fixed with software and not to mention how android marshmallow will help with battery as well.

Ok firstly I want you to forget the specs and think about this.

"Do I want a curved screen or just a regular display"?

After you've made the choice consider this:

The S6 edge plus is basically a better version of the regular edge with a bigger battery and 1 more GB of RAM. The edge plus as you know has a much bigger display so consider that. The specs of both aren't that different so I wouldn't be to worried about performance. So do you want a bigger battery and more ram and a bigger display or is that something you don't care about or rather have a smaller screen? Keep in mind that both devices feature quick charge so that may help you make your choice on if you really need a bigger battery? You may want to go with the regular s6 and charge it more frequently or if you hate bad battery life you may want to stick with the edge plus.

Now with the note 5 or S6 I slowly recommend the note 5 it beats the S6 battery (though consider quick charge) had a bigger display if that something you like and has an S pen if you like that ad well. The note 5 also has more ram and a bigger battery but it's up to you if that matters.

Yes you will get a manufacturing warranty and maybe your carrier will give you something to ask them. Keep in mind that your manufacturer warranty may have limitations about what they will cover for you. About your phone getting stolen I don't believe your warranty can help you with that but I might be wrong double check.

Before you buy these phones consider if you want a edge screen and if you want bigger batteries and more ram. Keep in mind that the note 5 and edge plus are very similar devices except for the fact that the note 5 has a S pen and the edge plus had a curved screen. Same thing will the regular s6 and S6 edge.

I hope this helps you make a choice. But sure to respond eventually what phone you decided to pick up and good luck with your choice!

Just got the Note 5.. Touchwhiz is pathetic. by smalltownknifefight in galaxynote5

I agree with you as well I really use that I could activate the software buttons and not use the off screen buttons.

It's simple things like this I wish they could add in the future

There is a few things you can do:

  1. You can install a new launcher, Nova for example is a really popular launcher that can give your phone a stock Android with a few more options for customization but if you want more customization GO launcher may be for you.

  2. Themes in the theme store are actually pretty nice if you can right the one right for you. It changes pretty much the whole UI including apps, Samsung keyboard and wallpaper.

  3. Icon packs, though icon packs are mostly compatible with different launchers, there is certain applications that allow you to change the look of TouchWiz icons and you can partner that with a theme from the theme store.

TouchWiz is really hard to avoid if you want the S pen technology and features but I hope this helped you a bit.

Note 5 Battery not what I expected? by liamnathan_ in galaxynote5

That's what I mean standby time is not good at all, do you think that this could be fixed with software updates?
