are you in the "it takes a week for battery to stabilise" camp?

Just think that any comments of changes either positively or negatively within less than 24 hours usage comes with a massive dollop of placebo (and a pinch of salt)

Any sign of the BTU update?

 

[ebilcake]

To be fair we could just as easily flash to XEF with Odin Or is it not as simple as that.

Last time I tried the french firmware the scrolling was very laggy, no idea why.

Fair enough, I'm going to wait it out as surely the BTU update won't be too far behind

I'm going to be patient this time and wait for the OTA update.

Tried flashing various roms from different regions and half the time ended up with boot loops.

After the update my battery is absolutely flying down when I'm not even using the phone. Any idea why?

 

[lutin]

The new update doesn't seem to have affected the battery idle drain overnight - still about 13% (in 7.5 hours) on wifi while the phone has the screen off and is doing nothing.

I got no problems on my end.
Did you wipe the cache partition after installing??

 

[djay]

Involves a wipe and I cba with doing that again. I've done it loads trying to fix battery issues and getting my screen fixed.

I just flashed mine using odin and didnt need to wipe? Second time I have done it now. Downloaded the firmware from Sammobile.

New update does feel snappier, don't seem to have the lag when scrolling through pages etc. Will see what the battery life is like during today.

How do I do that?

 

[lutin]

How do I do that?

Turn off phone.
Press volume up, home button and power button simultaneously. This will bring you into a menu which will give you the option to wipe the cache partition.

Note that this will not wipe any data or apps or anything like that.

Official price drop incoming as sales target was not met.

Lets hope they properly reduce the comedy price of the 128GB.

glad i haven't got mine yet, prices seem to be fluctuating all the time on rainforest atm...

 

[thep02]

Bodes well for a cheaper Note 5 launch, fingers crossed.

Wish EE would hurry up and get the update sorted!

I'm not really up to speed on the update, what benefits will it offer? I also am wondering when I'll get the EE update, but tbh, I have zero complaints with 5.0 2. The phone performs flawlessly for me and the battery life is great. If anything, I'm worried an update might make things worse.
