Note5 Marshmallow update

So I've been thinking. Maybe I'm being optimistic, but I think the wait for the update won't be nearly as long as years past.... The reasoning behind my theory is the fact that Samsung didn't fragment the devices this time around. We always seen the Exynos (international versions) get the update within a month of release. And then snap dragons always took 4-5 months probably because of the out of house support and the carriers slowing down the process.. I'm thinking a month or two tops. Thoughts?

Bluetooth and wired headset call volume issue (LOUD on VZW Note5).

I have spoken at length with samsung and plantronics customer support to no avail and would like to see if anyone else has had this issue. Bluetooth and wired headest call volume is extremely loud, much louder than media volume on the same devices. Even with volume set to minimum on both phone and bluetooth headset it hurts my eara and does not seeem safe for longterm use. Devices I have replicated the problem on include Plantronics Voyager Legend, Plantronics Voyager Edge, Jabra Stealth, and some skullcandy wired earbuds. So far both samsung and plantronics state thay they do not guarantee compatability with other manifacturers devices.

Update rolling out to att note5

Any idea what's in there?

Any possibility to flash other variants' rom on Verizon Note5?

I'm using a unsubscribe Verizon note5 bought from Best Buy. But I am not in US, and I don't use the Verizon Network.
There is lots Verizon app on the phone, and it's totaly no use for me. The power of the phone is lossing very fast, even can't last for 1 day.
Since it's no way to root the phone for now , i'm wondering if it's possible to flash another official variant rom to it. Like T-mobile or AT&t ,even other countries'.
By the way, does the hardware of the diffrent carriers phone is total same?

Confirm the App is working in Note5- Turn your back cam as finger print sensor

Finger Print App lock - Unlock the lock 100% safe thru your fingers.

App locks allow us to keep the system and user application safe, I would like to take App lock into next leave using camera we made the first finger print app lock for all the devices.

Here you can download the application - ad-free version for xda users

Donation Version - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...int.applockpro

Free version GP - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rprint.applock

There are few phone in market has Finger print sensors - like One plus 2, Elephone p8000, UMI harmar, etc.. We wanted all the phone user should have a access to finger print sensor without the sensor, so we made the first app which can use the camera and act as a finger print sensor.

We made a simple application which can use the Camera Sensor and Un-lock the locked Apps.

If the Finger print is failed to detect, automatically the Pattern lock or Number lock will open and ask the password.

Unlock the app thru your fingers.
Finger prints are Encrypted by default.
Choose the option which way you want to unlock the apps ? Finger print ? Numbers or Pattern?

Requirement for Finger print - All you need a good Camera with Flash, I believe 8Pix Camera with Flash can do the real job.

HK Airport Note5 Purchase?

I have a bit of an odd question. I need to pickup a Samsung SM9208 next week and am in HK for a 2.5 hour layover.... Not enough time to head into the city. However, does anyone know if one of the stores at the airport carry the 64 GB Model? I know that there are a few cellphone shops in the airport but was wondering if the 64 GB model was readily available in HK. Unfortunately, eBay isn't an option where I'm living and traveling too so window is likely all I can get to pick this up.

Thanks for all the help!

Help! Note5 is no longer recognizing my fingerprint

So, this sounds simple; but I guarantee you it is not.

I just got my Note5 about 2 weeks ago; and despite some missing key features, I really like it. Until today.
Carrier: Sprint (who apparently doesn't have 24/7 customer service)

My fingers were a little dirty (which they have been before) and my scanner wouldn't unlock the phone. Cleaned them and now it's already locked and seems to not really check the prints anymore?

First attempted fix: backup password, I know I set it up...but it doesn't work. None of the passwords I might use will work.

Second attempted fix: Google signin, I have a free google apps account and apparently using my whole email address as username doesn't work on this; also tried just using the plain username just in case. I know the password is correct. I'm the domain administrator.

Third attempted fix: Android device manager, tried setting a new password on the lock screen and was greeted by the infuriating message "Since google has verified that your screen is already locked, the password you set won't be needed"

Fourth attempted fix: chat with samsung support, which was utterly useless. Although I did find out that samsung has their own unlock utility...except that it has to be setup beforehand.

Fifth attempted fix: bang head on cement...hasn't shown any signs of working yet. Although I feel less frustrated.......and less conscious.

Theories: free version of Google Apps, sucks (the apps themselves are great)...I've had tons of trouble getting signed into certain google features over the years. Also I have no option for a support PIN to use to contact google support.
I think that my latest OTA update may have somehow changed or reset my backup password.
The last theory is whomever changed Android device manager to not reset lockscreen passwords whenever you want to...basically made that tool half as useful as it should be and completely useless to me.

Anyone have any other ideas, that don't involve a full wipe?
