Is anyone's note 5 randomly shutting off? Mine has shut off twice today and once yesterday.

Just did it a third time. Just shuts off and doesn't restart. I have to push the power button to turn it back on. Everytime it has happened when trying to leave a different app.

In a galaxy far far away there came the Note 8.

 

So who's getting it. Well keep this in mind that Best Buy always undercuts its competitors.

Just got an update software on my device it looks to be a security update.

I just got a security update for August 1... Why did it take a whole month to get to me? I go in and manually check to see if there are any system updates regularly and it popped up on its own this morning.

That's due to the smaller one being a newer, different version that just came out.

But u looked at the system info for my phone and it says security update August, before u downloaded it, it was saying July.

So for my broken Note 5 I ordered a battery from amazon it was supposed to come today by 8pm... nope. Amazon thinks it's here, but it's not. So I bought a heat gun, a tool kit so I can dismantle the phone and proceeded to do so, but have nothing to put it. Was fun not too hard if you're technically inclined or can build your own PC etc. Hoping it's a dead battery and is the reason it will not take a charge, if not oh well a nice heavy paperweight. Damn battery better get here asap. :(

Did you watch a YouTube video on how to do the battery swap?  Have any useful links for us?  I've considered putting a new battery in my Note 5.  The battery just doesn't last as long as it used to anymore.  I really wish Samsung would figure out a way to keep the water resistance and dust-proofing while giving us the ability to swap batteries.  It isn't a matter of wanting to swap them on a regular basis (for me, although it is convenient to be able to do so), but rather after a couple years when the battery is beat.

Anyway, keep us posted on how it works out for you.  Good luck!

Just followed the ifixit guide pretty straight forward. Still waiting on my battery...

How would I go upon to getting my Note 5 unlocked? I switched to the Note 8 last year and still have my Note 5. I believe it's still locked. Phone is paid off as well.

I called Sprint and they put in a ticket to get it unlocked in 72 hours. But they didn't explain how it will get unlocked.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
