Anyone else having really bad Bluetooth range for headphones or watches? I am talking about pocket to head distance. 50cm and it's not working.
Anyone else?

Either something went wrong in root or you froze a app you shouldn't of. Try a fresh wipe back to stock unrooted and test.if still bad phone replacement time.

Damn. Wish I knew what I did wrong. I've reflashed, re rooted, factory reset and everything and still absolutely no range. Not even arms length. Very annoying.

I'm on ATT and I noticed my Note 5 BT range is really bad compared to my S5. So rooting might not be the cause.

Just initiated a warranty replacement through T-Mobile today. Used to work great, now it only has a bluetooth range of about 1 foot.

Yeah that's what I had happen. Figure it was the antenna coming lose inside or something.
I chatted with Samsung support. Poured a cup of tea into my mac keyboard so I can't post the chat transcript. I'll try to post the magic sauce that got it working from my note 5.
Go to settings - applications - application manager- all applications - bluetooth. Tap clear data. Reboot your phone. See if Bluetooth is working better.
Mine is awesome. At school I was on my beats solo 2, I went all the way to the bathroom before they started fading, pretty much at least 3 classrooms between, a corner, then the bathroom, not too mention WALLS. I don't even get any service anywhere on campus

My range went bad again in a day or two. Returned my Note 5 to Samsung and they replaced the main board. It works great now!
I realized if connected to my car Bluetooth, talking and tethering at the same time messed up my last note 5. Tried everything to extend the range once broke and couldn't. I had to replace the phone. So now I do not do both at the same time while in the car. Just my two cents.

Oh
**** and here I was thinking it was my rom smh damn note 5 my Bluetooth sucks I'm trying to use it with my gear s and I can't even put my damn phone in my pocket. Should I un root it ? Or just leave it the way it is and send it back to tmobile?
Same problem here. Bluetooth is so crummy that it will disconnect from my pebble steel just from being in my pocket. Replacement note 5 is out for delivery now. Hopefully the new phone works correctly.

Talked to T-Mobile on Xmas and the problem is Samsung released an update that broke the range on your bluetooth. T-Mobile doesn't know when Samsung will release a patch to fix this. People that received replacements probably got a phone with the old update. I thought it was my bluetooth set so i ordered another one and same problem. I might have to Odin to a previous stock build.

TMO confirmed that an update is restricting the Bluetooth range? Interesting... I've just dealt with it pretty much since I got the device back in August as it's been tremendously frustrating that even as close as 1m I have connectivity issues...

My first S5 the camera completely died. Sprint Corp store couldn't fix it and replaced it on the spot. I'm now noticing on the replacement, when starting the camera app the camera is black for maybe 2 to 3 seconds then the view appears.
Kinda worried about the replacement also.
Sprint will replace your phone with no questions. Apparently this is a major fsck up on Samsung's part and Sprint is replacing them.

The black screen for 2-3 seconds happens on my S5 occasionally.
I have a little rattle from what sounds like the camera on my S5 if you shake the phone a bit. When you go into the camera app, then try to rattle the phone, the rattle stops and won't make a noise. That's real strange to me, but did either of you experience this on your camera prior to failure? Also is the 2-3 second black screen enough to get a new phone? Final question, I don't have TEP, I assume they're replacing the phone for anyone with this failure with or without TEP?

Well, I got the camera failed message this afternoon. Went by a Sprint store and they swapped it out even without TEP. Although they had to order me one and said it would be there in 3-5 days. I confirmed it was new and not refurbished, but we will see when it arrives. Is this common practice that they can't just give me one out of their stock? This store is the authorized repair facility for Sprint and do full Sprint business but a 3rd party company. So I thought that might have something to do with it.

If the Sprint repair facility near me has S5's in stock but they want to order mine and tell me there's a 3 to 5 day wait I would be pissed.
Why can't they give you one from their stock? 3rd party vendor may have something to do with it. Still BS in my eyes.
My replacement has so many issues. The blackness lag when starting up the camera, LTE dropping like mad, always a low LTE signal, speakerphone is useless. People call me but there is no log of it in the dialer app, yet the voicemail timestamp is there. The phone doesn't even ring.
I think I am going to get this replaced one last time and give the replacement to my wife and either get the iphone 6 or the new LG.

Why exchange it then? It could have just been software related.
On Verizon, it was hardware related and a reboot didn't do anything

Thats wishful thinking my friend but that would be nice.. In my experiences and I have exchanged several devices over the years with Sprint they call you back several days later you go in and it will be a device for device swap you hand them your broken/defective one they activate and hand you replacement.. Still not bad if yours is broken but no extra freebies unfortunately..

Yes, that was a joke. I'm still replacing it as I don't want that to come back again. I don't have tep so now's my chance if it happens again, I may be sol. Fortunately, found a friend of a friend that works at this store. He's verified it should be new. So there's not much to lose with swapping, except my time rebuilding all my stuffs. Plus, I'm heading out on vacation soon and need this camera to function.

Picked up my device today. It came in a white long box that said RECxxxxx on it, BUT there is no recondition date listed in the ##786# menu. Everything appears brand new on it and it functions well, so its new despite the box.
I just had this happen to me again. Starting to get worried

That's pretty common with Galaxy phones.
Btw, if it happens again, take it to a sprint store. It's an actual known issue in their eTicket system(repair system they use), so they will issue you a replacement device for free.

I had to fight with UPS today for 2 hours, but I got my Galaxy Note 5. In short, I'm glad I got it. I'm sure, like always, each carrier will have their differences, but this is one SLICK SEXY phone.
Out the box I had 25%, I burned through it just doing app updates and setting up my information on the phone and then I tried the Wireless Charging...Guys, it's good! Like really good! I don't even have the Fast Wireless Charging dock. I have the Samsung Galaxy Mini Wireless Charging Pad and that finished up in just over 2 hours, so that Fast Wireless Charger is going to charge as fast as the end of a Prom date. Don't prejudge the phone over what you heard. Use it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Guess u don't use much storage, that's why u don't have a problem with it. And of course you're going to notice a decent bump in performance coming from a note 3. I've warned everyone I know to not upgrade to the 5 and either get a note 4, or don't drop their 4 cause of Samsung pulling them.
I had to fight with ups as well. Somehow ups got my address wrong... It was either ups or Sprint. Either way I have it.

i use tons of storage... i carry at least 8TB of hard drives everyday. i just don't install many apps and music is all cloud based now for me. movies are kept on a segate wifi drive, i always have a otg adapter and flash ready, but most of the time i just stream netflix/amazon. the majority of my internal storage on my devices are now roms or flashing related crap.
because of the number of devices i have i find it easier to do it the way i do rather than have redundant info on multiple devices - still happens sometimes and i forget which tablet/phone has a certain movie or song... still can find my damn Fried Chicken from Beatnuts!
i started not using an external sd when i got my s4, just as a test, and it worked out for me. so getting an n6 and n9 wasn't too much trouble as i knew what to expect.
though i do think the removal of the SD slot isn't b/c they studied that most people don't use it, but rather that people are suckers and will toss an extra $100 for 32GB.

Totally agree with this. Iphone suckers have been dealing with this the whole time. I've only have known like 2 iPhone users that would pay all that money for a 128 gb iPhone. Most got the 16 or 32 gb versions and became very limited on what they put on their phone.
just got my order in. not time to play with it yet. damn, i forgot that samsung switched to 16:9 ratio. makes this thing less massive than i thought (huge negative for me). it's the same width as the note 2 but ~3/16 taller.

Anyone elses wireless keep dropping as soon as you try to connect to something? I've factory reset 3 times now to try and see if it fixes it -no go. As soon as I try and download/run a speed test it disconnects.
g3/g4/note 5/ipad all connect fine with no issue, as well as 4 chromecasts.
On the other note, Android Pay launched and let me add cards to it.
I got no issues with connecting to wireless other then it disconnects sometime when phone is asleep.
How did you get android pay to work ? It launches for me but it doesn't let me add any cards.

Indeed, connectivity cycles when you are on the initial setup program as well, bluetooth, nfc and wireless both go in and out (icons for bluetooth and nfc go on and off, wireless drops completely). Quite annoying. Already got a return going with Amazon, sucks since I just got it this morning.

Yeap, it was sent back on Tuesday. I just ordered a grey one as they came in stock on Amazon, hoping to get it Monday. I honestly likes what I saw with the phone, I havent been happy with any phones this year so far. Had a s6, g4, note 5, flex 2, mulitple nexus 6's (all with screen issues or backplate issues), iphone 6 etc. Hopefully this is the one, that helio x10 was pretty damn quick in it.
Hope that grey one arrives soon! People have been waiting for them. I really like this phone and am doing well with it after frustrations with dual SIM slots on the Zenfone 2 that involved getting a refurbished exchange unit sent to me, turned out all to be the 2G slot being the issue so it was returned. weeks of frustrations! So here's to good fortune!

take sim card out and put it in Sim 2 ... getting data will be a little trick - for some reason I always have to go in setting and enable data - it won't enable automatically... but i think it will help ...
You can either keep it in Sim 2 or move it back to sim 1...
I just got my Note 5 and, after connecting it to my WIFI, it shows "connected" but I can't open anything on the Web while connected to WiFi. The Speedtest app always says "network communication issues". I was able to use the wifi a couple of times, but lost it again. I talked to a Verizon agent and he tried a few things. Nothing worked. He connected me to a Samsung customer who simply told me that the problem was related to my router, not the phone. However, my Note 3 is connected to the same router and I have never had any problem. And all my other devices work with no problem on the same Wi-Fi. Anyone had or know of a similar problem? At this point I am simply thinking about returning the phone and going back to my Note 3

Could be a hardware malfunction. If it's happening and you just got the phone, that's what I'd lean towards. Can you connect to other WiFi hotspots? If so and it works just fine, then it might not be so simple.
I have a similar problem like this with my note 5. I have had mine a little over a week now and my issue is for some reason my note 5 will continuously connect to WiFi and disconnect and reconnect back to WiFi and it would do this every 5 mins. This is causing my phone to have terrible battery life but on 4G my phone will last about a day and a half to 2 days. My WiFi signal is Very strong the phone says but it would still lose connection to it. I myself came from the Note 3 and my note 3 never lost connection to my WiFi. I have a Netgear router wireless N+ and i use the 5Ghz output on it. Lately now i noticed its getting better its not disconnecting as much as it was when i first got the phone i don't know why its weird. I was about to return it thinking it was a hardware issue. I was told that the Note 5 is going to be getting marshmallow update soon by best buy so maybe that will include a fix for these WiFi issues and battery drain issues.

Took the phone to the Verizon Store but they didn't have the 64GB version in store. They ordered a new one and it arrived yesterday. It connected right away to my WIFI and I haven't had a single hiccup since. And to think that the Samsung representative I spoke too said the problem with the other phone was my Wifi!
Loving this phone so far but can't wait for my case to arrive because it's not as comfortable to hold and type on as my Note 3, which I am so used to.

Loving this phone so far but can't wait for my case to arrive because it's not as comfortable to hold and type on as my Note 3, which I am so used to.

It's interesting how some of these CSR's handle customers. I always go back to the store especially when the device is new. Glad you're enjoying the 5.

Im still struggling to love this note 5. Even after a month, I haven't really fully fell in love with it. I fell in love instantly with my note 3 2 years ago. But I'm really loving; the nice screen, the thin profile, finger print scanner, front/rear camera and the fast usb 2.0 charging. I'm not loving that it's more narrow than the previous note 4 and note 3. Feels a little too narrow for my fat, chubby and sausage fingers. But sall good, I make do

I use mine as a business phone because I'm a basketball coach. It allows me to take notes, draw up opponents plays and video tape some information without carrying additional media devices. The form factor has changed and the glass backing takes some getting use to. I just use a case, all the other feature I'm enjoying so far.

Hey guys I'm new here just Traded in My Note 7 and decided to give LG a try because of the recall. Haven't owned an LG in years, and usually stick with Samsung for Android and the iPhone. Can say so far after I received the Marshmallow update last night thus phone has been a beast. Only thing I'm missing is Samsung Pay but with only one card that actually worked with it it's not much of a lost. Just wanted to say hi. Ill be around waiting for the LG V20 announcement and the new iPhone but so far no regrets.

I did the same thing yesterday. I know that was Samsung's first recall, but for something like that to get by qa I'll let the Note 7 be enjoyed by others
Did the same thing this morning. I'm not all that impressed by the dac on this phone. How does it sound to you guys? I haven't updated to marshmallow yet, can that be it?
DAC sounds fine to me you can't take dollar headphones and expect to be mind blown by the sound quality. Get some nice pair of cans so you can actually hear the difference. Mine sounds very good using it with a pair of HD 630VB.
Phone was running very well to me, but today it won't connect calls with Voice over LTE enabled . Damn I can't catch a break. Does anyone know if this is common. It did the Marshmallow update, and another one last night.

Well update, toggled everything on and off and working so far.
Lol. I guess we are the Displaced Note 7 users. Lol.
Edit: Voice over LTE not working. But I'll just deal with it, I guess the good thing is when I decide what phone I want to get next I can probably return without a restocking fee.

There is an issue with VoLTE on the latest update where you can't hear the ringing when you make a call, but the call will work. Have you tried waiting to see if the call does connect?

This phone + dac fix + power amp + high quality audio files = awesomeness
If you haven't updated to Marshmallow not all apps work with the dac, that could be why you are not hearing improvements. Either update to MM or get the dac fix.
