Used/new? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. I recently got a galaxy note 5 SM-N920G from Samsung 64gb variant from Amazon India for 53,900rs.. I installed the phone info Samsung app from it and found out in the refurbishment section that the phone is original and not refurbished. But my concern is that the charging port used was shown as 7 times and headphones section as 5 times. Is that normal?

Can someone please provide ur valuable suggestions?

[Q] Does your note have the S Note?

I bought the International Galaxy note N -7000 on May 7th 2012 at India. My phone did not have the S Note app as part of the Premium suite. S Memo and S planner are available.
I upgraded to ICS and still S note did not appear.
To verify, I checked the phone of a friend who bought his Note a week after i bought at a different city. His does not have the S Note either.
Does any one else have this issue?
No such issue here.
If you are experienced in flashing than flash one stock ROM. Simple
Be careful, read more before doing anything.
Follow Dr. Ketan's guide about this.
Cheers
I think the issue is that Samsung advertises a certain feature and does not provide it on the phone.
I want to verify if any other person who has bought the phone after April 15th has the same problem. I have a feeling the S Note was pulled to accommodate the free headset and the apps.

MHL cables/adapters

ive read somewhere that the original Note 1 MHL cables are incompatible with the galaxy S3. so i guess its the same case for the Note 2 . so i got a few questions about this:
- any recommendations from Note 2 owners ? good tested and reasonably priced cables or adapters ?
- and what r the disadvantages for using those 11 to 5 pin adapters ?? is it true that with the 11 pin cables u wont be needing a power source (as the galaxy s3 would power up the adapter it self) ????
Update: found some positive xda reviews on this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-MHL-Mirc...Accessories&hash=item25750548f4#ht_5438wt_952 , still a bit expensive.
thx
i've ordered the one from dealextreme wich says it's compatible with the galaxy SIII as i read that it should work with the NOTE II, so i just have to wait and see. but for 20 bucks it would be nice if it works, if not, to bad, onto ebay for a profit. will let it know if it works when i'll be able to test it. also a couple of USB-OTG cables from dx.com for a buck each.
I've been thinking about this as well, so if anybody has any info on which adaptors work, Thanks in advance of posting up info.
Added one to my Master Accessories thread.
is this good to use ? anyone tried it before on a S3 or Note 2 ?

looking at the numbers , already 23 sold,,but cant see any feedback on it...
Bump,
Anybody get one yet, that works?
Links please, thank you!!
what about these from monoprice. They have great reviews

It's best to get an older one and an adaptor for the s3 and the note 2 type of fit. .. like the white one on monoprice.. same price and you get the option to use on 5 pin and 11 pin phones. .skiva mhl cable is awesome on amazon. No need for extra cables. .I got mine for about 7 bucks 2 weeks ago and then bought the monoprice adapter. Now I can use it on my note 2 and the wife's Galaxy nexus..

Which Note 5 Version should I buy?

Dear All
Thank for your reading. I am planning to buy Note 5. I am living in Vietnam and our Market sell so much Note 5 Version
SM-N920C (official distribution)
SM-N920I
SM-N9200
SM-N9208
SM-N920P/V/T...
I wanna the version can be root (unlock bootloader) as well as use more Customs Rom on XDA as much as possible ! pls help to give me your valued recommend
I was going to ask the same question (now that Note 7 is dead), so far what I saw from XDA is C and I models more popular, but again seems like most of custom ROMs seem like based on Android 5.0.2.
Another thing that confusing, there's even custom Kernel, however, nowhere I found that it will work for different phone carriers nor different regions
I would say Sammy's International variants are better for ROMs/Modding etc.
So the 920C seems the right choice. That's what I got anyways.
Does the 920C work on the att network in the states?

I believe so....
since Note 7 dead, I am looking into buy one SM-N920C, too bad that version only comes with 32GB, instead of 64GB (att, t-mobile versions)

well, almost impossible to find 64gb version in USA, the ones I found ebay they asking like crazy money...
Has the Note 5 been discontinued?
In South Africa it seems that stock is running low? GSMarena says "Status = available". My Note 4 got stolen and I don't know whether to wait and hope that Samsung will do the sensible thing and produce the Note 5 in a 128gig version or to go out and reluctantly buy the Note 5 64gig.
Bought my Note 4 after the Note 5 was released because a micro sd slot is non-negotionable but now I am stuck.
Love the Note functionality, also have a Note 8 and 12.2.
Anyone with some inside knowledge?

Yeah the 64gb has some demand, esp after the Note 7 thing.
What about getting a high-quality used one from a verified seller/retailer?
I got one from a reputed store in near perfect condition and a fantastic price. It cost me less than what people were listing it for in the local classifieds.

Production has obviously stopped a long time ago for the Note 5.
What you find now are older stock that didn't sell or were ordered late into production.
I doubt a 128gb version will be produced since Sammy will have to restart an older line. It would cost more than continuing the S7 line (as they doing now).
Why note try the S7/Edge. It's a new design with micro-SD expansion.

well, S7 Edge is expensive, that's why...also I am more "note" guy, so since Note 7 now dead, only option I have is last year's Note 5, of course, giving a sec thought and debating if I really need to get Note 5 or move on to others. If I get Note 5, at least get N920C with 64GB (since it does not have micro-SD), so finding N920C with 64GB is quite challenging (the one I found ebay asking like crazy price), and as you said they stopped production of 64GB version way before 32GB, I guess that's explains why there are plenty of 32gb version out there than 64GB.
I have reserved a Note 5 64gb, will pick it up tomorrow or Wednesday. Sad but probably true that Samsung won't release a 128gb version. I am sure, there are many who would still go crazy for a 128gb Note 5!
If you use the Note functionality there is unfortunately nothing that comes close to the Note range! Still using my Note 8 daily even when I had the Note 4.
The impression I got from Samsung today was that they will continue to produce the Note 5 now that the Note 7 has been discontinued.

What I did with the LG G3 (T-Mo 32gb version) was use an OTG USB for backup until MM broke it, then I just did a PC-backup of all data as soon as storage reached 80%. :
It might seem cumbersome, but I only had to do it thrice in 5 months. Not bad imo.

Note 5 - Is the Note 5 still being produced by Samsung post the Note 7 launch?

Anyone with some inside knowledge what Samsung's plans are with the Note range?
phones are discontinued a few months after launch to retool machines to build the new phones so yeah, the note 5 stoped production a long long time ago
Thanks Cachanilla86,
So guess, I should jump and get one or risk not getting a new Samsung Note phone again - thanks
