I just bought this model number today. Is this firmware just for people that bricked their phones? I rooted mine today without issue and hope that there will be all the other goodies available like on my samsung phone. The guy at Sprint told me that there were already custom roms and recovery, but I found out he was wrong.
Can't find it anywhere on that link. I wouldn't mind having a stock unrooted restore in hand. This is all that's preventing me from rooting.

I have no affiliation with Talkatone nor Google, I just like their products because they seem to work well. Further, I do earn any money nor commissions from either. With that said:
I have turned my little tablet into a huge phone using Talkatone and a Google Voice Number. Most of the time I use a bluetooth headset, pay for the "pro" version @ $0.99/month for a little better quality, and it works great on wifi. And, it's pretty easy to setup, but if you need any help... Hope this helps.

MagicJack also works for free phone call's. They give you a random Florida or Wisconsin number when you make a call, and no one can call you back, but for free it's nice. I think if you have a MagicJack hardware device you can use that number with the APP and have in/out calls free over wifi. It works very well with my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (unlimited data plan) on wifi tether

I recently bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy s4 off of Craigslist. I checked the phone, made sure it charges, calls, texts, and works with my carrier. Everything was fine until I came home and the demo ads kept popping up whenever I stopped using the phone. I then realized I just got ripped off, and after various attempts of trying to contact the seller, I finally gave up.
Is there anyway to stop the demo ads from popping up? Everything else in the phone works just fine. I just want to get ride of the ads!
PLEASE HELP!

Sorry, I didn't exactly understand your question... but can you show me an example (screenshot) of how those ads looks like? Because I have no idea what kind of ads you're getting on your GS4... If you're talking about seeing ads in apps downloaded from Play Store then that's normal..

I tried factory resetting the phone, and it didnt work. I visited a lot of verizon stores and they said its a demo phone, and there is no way to remove the add. I paid 400 dollars for the phone, and now I really dont know what to do. Is there really no way to get rid of it? Everything else is fine.

There are several texting apps in the Play Store. My personal favorite is TextNow. The only caveat is that you tell it what area code you are in, and they assign you a "phone number" and that is the number your texts come from. You may end up getting a phone number from the area code you enter, or you may not, it just depends upon what's available. As long as the people you text know it's "you" and list it as one of your "phone numbers" it does not really matter.
You can even buy "credits" and make and receive voice calls using this number.

That's standard for VVM. Always has been. Kind of like a security feature.. Weak attempt to insure that the person using VVM is actually the owner of the account.
Anyone have the most recent update?
Bumping this to ask y'all for a small favor- I found the posted version of the AT&T VVM apk (v2.4.2.62) and installed it- works just fine, once I had them provision my N5 for VVM. Was wondering if anyone had been able to update to the most recent version (v2.5.2.10), and if so, would you mind posting the apk (or otherwise give me some ideas about how to get it from the Play Store)? I'm damned if I can get it- have tried everything (including market helper, market enabler etc) and keep getting the "not compatible" message. I'd like to snag the latest version without having to resort to editing build.prop or to some other relatively drastic measure...
Any assistance would (as usual) be much appreciated- many thanks!

Not sure if this is just me, but I have narrowed down the at&t visual voicemail app as the one giving me issues. i was installing it from a titanium backup - both tried with data and without. well, the issue i had was that google now would go nuts constantly refreshing. not sure why vvm would have anything to do with now, but after not installing it on a new rom (and this is the 5th that i have flashed, so not just a rom issue) no issues with now.

I followed the same instructions also, but unable to tell it to send a text message like you did at the end of your video. I've got an LG G2, so I can't imagine our phones are that far apart from one another. When I tell it to send a text message, it say my device is not supported..

Yeah I don't think the differences are very big between the two devices. It is weird yours doesn't work.
S-Voice on my LG isn't flawless. It doesn't know when to stop listening. I have to manually tap the mic to make it stop.
By the way I am using Gear 2 model SM-R380 with software version R3AF201CZ3N
I made a YouTube video showing how I got the Gear 2 working with non-Galaxy
http://youtu.be/Yp5H4UAWSTk
I still have to retrace my steps on how I got the Google Now voice, once I figure it out I will make a video showing how to do it. I had integrated Google Now prior to getting the Gear 2 so when I set it all up, it just worked without me doing anything in particular.
Can you test the exercise for me
Can you see if the Run and Bike part work with a non samsung phone. It uses the GPS from the phone. I run and bike a lot and need this feature.
I ordered an LG G3 from overseas but its a deal breaker if I cannot get the GPS part working with the exercises.

wow
Well well...fancy seeing you all here. It's been so long, love what you've done with the place. Glad to be back.
Anyone feel like giving this geezer who just upgraded from sgs4 running sacs old school rom, to this beautiful note 5, a few pointers and a quick once over? Looking to root asap. I see my note downloaded the new ota as soon as I got home w it, but I have not installed.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks
Good to be back :good:
Its pretty simple really.
You have several choices.
The easiest is just to install one of the pre-rooted roms:
Galaxy Note 5 OGD/OI6 Stock Deodexed Roms
MOAR Rom v1.1
If you want to JUST root, there is a thread for that too:
[how to] sprint note 5 root instructions n920p
Awesome, thank you! What i really use root for mainly is the WiFi Hotspot, any tips for that, is it still just an apk to install after root?
Lastly, i use root for a free version of Pandora streaming music...again, without an sd card, im in the woods as far aa using jailbroken apps...thanks!! Edit - nevermind, i see Hotspot is out of the box on this, awesome!
Oh....do i want to,take this update or what? Will it make things harder or worse for me down the road?
All of those pre rooted roms have hacked hotspot included btw.
If you take that ota update your phone is nagging you about, you won't be able to odin back to the original build. It won't hurt to take it, but that is the limitation. If you take it, you will need the latest odin tarball/firmware, currently version oi6, should you need to flash back to stock.
If you want to use Samsung pay don't root. If you don't know what it is and don't care to pay with your phone almost everywhere they take credit cards then by all means i recommend rooting asap.
If i had not found Samsung pay by accident i would be on MOAR right now. I was ready to root and ROM when i read a post about a free charger to set up Samsung pay. I had never even heard of it before getting the phone.
Yeah i looked into spay last night after reading a bit...not my cup of tea, doesnt currently use my bank besides amex, so im much rather have hotspot and save myself $30 a month than use my phone as a wallet...for now at least.
So, what about getting my cracked Pandora app on here...any ideas?

I think you can get your Hotspot up and running with just a couple of apn edits as long as you have your msl. No root required.
Yeah, if all you want is hotspot, root is not needed.
Call/chat with Sprint and get your MSL#.
Dial ##2382#
Click 'edit'
click 'apn settings'
Click the 1st apn listed and scroll down to 'apn type'.
Edit that line from 'default,mms' to 'default,mms,dun'
Hit your back button.
Do the next apn in the list.
back out
reboot
Hotspot is active.

Thx kids, it most certainly does work, got my sml on first try through chat, have my hotspot, and an awesome Pandora now...so, why bother rooting the note these days...any takers on that bone I just dropped?

I tried to get my msl from Sprint but they wouldn't give it to me. I bought the phone on the payment plan and they won't give it to you until it's paid off. I've tried twice now and was told no by two reps. Anybody else run into that?
What's going on everyone, just got my Note 5 and am loving it...I was wondering if anyone can help me out here but I'm trying to dial ##2382# on my dialer but nothing happens??? Any ideas?
