**** The Official Note 5 thread ****

[Warp279]

I didn't go for the c version. No b20 on mine, speed tested with a Vodafone sim..

EE is a different story though.. 91down / 42up

Can you use the charger and can we have a screenshot of 'About device' with firmware info?

Charger won't be useful in the UK, but I am not too fussed as I have the one from my S6 Edge, and have various wireless charging pads at home, in the car and in the office:


(note picture taken with S6 Edge and not Note 5)


Details of device:




The kernel details are not stock (I have rooted the phone) but kept the stock ROM.

Overall I am loving the phone. Quite a decent improvement over the S6 Edge. It is fast, the screen is gorgeous and the stylus is pretty useful. I have not moved everything over yet so can't comment on general use or battery life.

I am liking the Dual SIM options (not got a SIM in there at the moment):

I'll just leave this here > http://www.willmyphonework.net/

It'll answer which version works where.

Excellent.

We already know that for full UK coverage (across all networks) you need:
920A (cannot be rooted)
920T (cannot be rooted)
920C
920CD

Someone I know who's selling a 64gb sm-n920v

But I don't think o2 4g will work on that phone? Kind of frustrating that o2 band is awkward sometimes I wish I was on EE so multiple bands would work

My phone has arrived from eBay seller. Got to admit I thought I wouldn't have it until next week. I think the phone's been imported from the UAE as it's got arabic on the back of the box/english too.

 

[jeezy85]

I am really confused could anyone please help clarify

Just spoke to o2 and gave them this info

LTE band 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 7(2600), 13(700) - N920V

He checked with his technical department twice and they confirmed that o2 4g will work based on that info


However willmyphonework.net says it won't work with 4g

Confused

 

[Cosimo]

To muddy the waters ,O2 4G in urban areas starting in London will get 1800MHz (BAND 3):

http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Mo...-and-4G-New-Update-21st-Sept-2015/td-p/286204

http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-...oading-Will-Boost-Urban-4G/m-p/914270#U914270

So Band 3 will come for some but you have to have Band 20.

 

[jeezy85]

So would the above model be no good for me?

Just get a 3 sim & your good to go. O2 are stingy **** anyway

EDIT: Just to add, I got the n920c 32gb. I would have liked the 64gb but it was hard to find one which worked properly on 4g in the gold colour.

I do need a 64B so I'll wait and see if any crop up.

I have yet to see a 64GB in C or CD

Seller included travel adaptor so I use the 2 pin into a 3 pin which was nice.

Who knows now! As you know the person selling can't you ask then to try an O2 sim in it. You could always change your network.

Not seen this rechargeable battery pack (5200 mAh) before:

Apparently it can charge the Note 5 from 0% to 50% in just 30 minutes.

Very pleased with this one...

 

[Warp279]

That one is quite hideous, much prefer the one kona posted.

Possibly good news but next year is too late:
