note 5

Thanks to Pen gate Samsung is taking it upon themselves to do a better job at explaining to customers that you actually can't insert the S-Pen into the Note 5 backwards. When several Note 5 users took to the web complaining that their S-Pen was stuck in the phone from inserting it backwards...

If you own a T-mobile Galaxy Note 5 get ready to experience the Marshmallow version of Touchwiz! Just a few days ago the update was pushed to an XDA member's phone. He pulled the update and provided a system dump to the community who then built an odin flashable tar! Before installing this know...

December could be an interesting month for Note 5 users. Of course the time that it takes the carriers to push it to your device could be well into January (*cough* Verizon). Let us know when your device have been updated to 6.0 and post your likes/dislikes. Source: Exclusive: Samsung Galaxy...

Some people love Touchwiz while others absolutely despise it. I personally have grown to tolerate the Samsung overlay. In the beginning I hated touchwiz. It was heavy and slow. With faster processors, more ram, and Samsung's ability to put out a phone without 10GB of bloatware touchwiz is now...

When I read the headline i had to take a glance at the calendar to be sure that it wasn't April first! In another marketing move seemingly attempting to receive backlash (bad publicity is better than no publicity) OnePlus 2 pretty much calls their customers dummies! That may be a bit extreme...

In the above video I show you how to change the color, style, and size of your SPen strokes. This is actually something that I personally overlooked in the first week of using the device. I figured that if I had overlooked maybe some of you have as well. As it turns out the SPen is pretty versatile.

If root ever comes for the Galaxy Note 5 you will want to grab the stock firmware and a fresh version of Odin prior to rooting your device. Stock images serve as a safety net for anyone trying to modify their devices. Not only do these provide a safety net they also provide a quick and easy way...

The Galaxy S6 and Note 5 have some crazy bright capacitive button back light's. This is great when you are outside on a sunny day, but can be rather annoying if you are laying in bed. You can easily reduce your screen's brightness, but there isn't a way to dim the capacitive buttons, however...

I have been using the Galaxy Note 5 as a daily driver device since launch day. In fact I got mine a few days before launch! So far I have to say that this has been my favorite Samsung phone ever! If this is your first Samsung Galaxy experience, or maybe you just have not used a Galaxy device in...

With root protection built directly into KNOX it would appear that the Note 5 would be unrootable. Many devices have been labeled as unrootable by reputable security experts and still they were rooted. Where there is a will there is a way. Who knows, maybe Knox could be disabled in a way that...

In a push to make their devices more secure for Enterprise use Samsung has built a feature into Knox for AT&T and Verizon devices that will brick your device if rooted. The new feature is called Root of Trust. Once the device has detected root your phone will shut down and will not power back...

My favorite cases of all time have to be the Urban Armor Gear case series. I pretty much have a UAG case on all of my phones. I love the industrial look, and the rugged design. This case offers the protection of an otter box or a lifeproof case without being super bulky. The cases are military...

One of the best features of the Note 5 is the fingerprint scanner. It allows you to quickly gain access to your phone without having to input a pesky pin or pattern code. For some reason it wasn't super obvious to me that you can add multiple fingerprints. This is great because it means that you...

The main reason that I love custom roms is the fact that they allow you to keep your device updated to the latest and greatest version of Android well past your devices end of life date. The development community has always been great about continuing device support many months after the last...

OEMs are beginning to take note of all the custom mods of the Android mod community. Both HTC and Samsung have included theme managers in their latest flagship devices. The Note 5 also has an included theme engine. My favorite theme so far has to be the Material design theme. While your phone...

The Galaxy Note 5 has been my daily driver now for a few weeks. I have noticed that fully stock it has much better battery life than the galaxy s6. It also has a slightly larger battery at 3000mah. I am normally able to get through an entire day plus most of my evening on a single charge thanks...

One error that you can run into when you are modding your Galaxy S6 is the "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing". This error is similar to a bootloop except all you will get is a Samsung logo with the recovery text in the top left hand of the screen. If you experience this don't panic you...

The Galaxy Note 5 is now officially supported by Team Win Recovery Project. With a fully official and stable custom recovery you can now easily make full nandroid backups. These nandroid backups will allow you to recover any lost app data if you somehow mess up your phone flashing mod files...

It's no fun to buy a device just to have it updated a few months later. This is probably how many of you who just purchased the S6 Edge fell now that the S6 Edge Plus has been released. If you want some of those S6 Edge new features adding them is as easy as flashing the Noble Rom. The rom is...

Fox Fi was able to get free wifi tethering working on the Galaxy S6, and it looks like Samsung and carriers have not been able to block the method. FoxFi is fully functional on the Note 5 too. This also works without being rooted. It launches some sort of VPN which circumvents the subscription...
