Got mine on Friday from the flea place. Silver Titanium model looks beautiful but unfortunately I have to send it back due to a screen defect which is a shame as the device is excellent but very noticeable in low light conditions. Hopefully return procedure is as smooth as their delivery which was very quick.

I'm not sure if I'm confused with colours. I'm looking for a black phone but can only find a navy one, don't they do proper black anymore? Or is that not navy?

Sorry to hear about your screen issue! That's not good but happens. I went for the same colour because it simply looks stunning. Any pictures of yours? Do you have a case too?

It's called black sapphire, it shines blue and black in different lights, its really nice

 

[Peew971]

Alright thanks. The wife loves black phones but isn't a fan of navy so I hope it's not too blue.

 

[lmfy2k]

I'd say it's more blue than black Tbh, you could go checkout an Samsung s6 in a phone shop, its the same colour

 

[Peew971]

Indeed, good idea. Cheers

Now I'm back on the Note 5 having reviewed 3 phones over the last 3 weeks, I'm getting rather poor battery life. I seem to be dropping 1% every 10 minutes

I guess I'll give it another day or so, then factory reset perhaps.

After a good start I've had a disappointing last week battery wise. Today seems better though - 3 hours 15 screen on time (including 1 hour 50 playing GTA) and still 34% left.

I bet he couldn't repeat that. :D

Haha probably not but he seems to still be recieving updates.
Managed to dump the firmware, so I guess you guys will probably be saying a marshmallow touchwiz based rom soon by one of XDA's devs.

Good news, I hope it doesn't do what Lollipop did to the Note 4!

What happened??

 

[kona786]

What happened??

It did a number on the battery life.

 

[Ianb901]

Yes it really messed the battery life up on the note 4 glad to say they corrected it with 5.1.1 release

 

[Muska]

Yes, 5.1.1 was excellent. Just a shame it was broken for so long.

 

[Chris344]

That's a bit of a shame, was this with OTA updates or clean?

 

[Ianb901]

Mine was an OTA update to 5.0.1 which caused the device to remain awake pretty much constantly. This pretty much halved the battery life and took my SOT from around 6hrs to about 3hrs. Pleased to say that with 5.1.1 it is back to where it should be.
