I'm jealous of all the folks that were able to pre-order and getting them sometime before this Fri. I won't be able to get my hands on one until Fri since I'm on T-Mo.
I'm so jealous of everyone getting their note 5's. I'm still trying to talk myself out of the edge plus but it's not working!! I keep finding ways round all the perceived flaws, only 64GB - use an ultra dual flash drive. I've also thought about using a battery pack, battery case or portable wireless charger to get round the non removable battery.
A Note loving friend of mine is pretty miffed Samsung aren't making the Note 5 available in the UK any time soon. I know phablets aren't massively popular here but they could at least give consumers the option. Looks like the iPhone 6 Plus we reap the rewards on this one which I don't think is necessarily a good thing personally. It's good to have a level of choice and I don't understand the marketing angle here.
Sounds like it's clear the plus is killing it in Europe that's only reason why they would do this
I hope so, all the talk about it being a big upgrade. We'll see, I initially would like to know about carrier bloat at least and what is not removable without rooting.
I know in this thread they were talking about a Play Store app that removed stuff but I forgot the name. Yeah, If I can debloat w/o rooting, I might try that out for a bit to see how it is and figure out if I need to root or not. I usually root but with Samsung Pay, I might not if I think it's useful.
Big upgrade or not is just matter of opinion. For me it is a big enough upgrade since Samsung takes forever to upgrade the ROM on previous devices to match the newly released phones. Of course, that is one of the reasons why I'm upgrading.
I think it will be a huge upgrade over the Note 4. I think performance .......camera. Speed and responsiveness will all get a boost. Then there is the look and feel and build materials. All upgrades over the Note 4

It's a paid app and it's worth the price. The developer has to pay for Knox security license support that enables you to do this.
I feel the same way but some folks might not hence why I said, matter of opinion.
Dang it, I wished I didn't read that since I've always used needing to root as an excuse not to encrypt my phone for work but now that might change, lol.
Yep.. By being officially Knox friendly it allows the app to disable services that normally could not be done.
Couple of tips. You can 'auto-debloat' but it will actually disable some apps you may want, so I would suggest using the auto debloat (that way you know it's only debloating safe apps) and then re-check the ticked apps and untick the apps you may actually want to keep. Then apply
Be careful not to disable things left right and centre as you could end up causing system instability or creating a boot loop, and using it can prevent your device receiving OTA updates but you can always just go back into the app and revert.

I'm quite surprised samsung would approve that. I always love a powerful utility app
TMO order starts tomorrow at 6AM PST and shipping ASAP.

You mean for Samsung phones only ? My Nexus 6 is rooted, running the latest 5.1.1
Nexus phones are always root able. Always....it's a developer device.
Yes, he is probably referring to Samsung devices.
Are you going to a store to get it? I'm wondering if it will sell out quick in the stores.
I was talking about all Samsung locked devices that have a kernel build date after March.they patched the only root exploit and hard locked the phones to not be able to downgrade firmware to where root was available.
Thats why I'm still on 5.02 lol and yes we all know development nexus devices come with unlocked bootloader.even the Verizon galaxy nexus was unlocked and Verizon is super anal about locking devices.they even locked out service mode.
Thanks, was not aware of that. So an International or T-Mobile Galaxy S6 running Android 5.1.1 doesn't have root ? Or the 5.1.1 update broke root ? That sucks.
Word is that Chainfire is hard at work for root on the Note 5, most think it will come fairly soon.
