    NOTE 5 vs S7

    My nexus 5 just broke and I need a new phone asap. Was contemplating b/w NOTE 5 and S7. I realize that the S7 is superior in almost every way, including performance and battery life, but I personally like the bigger screen of the note 5, the s-pen and the overall aesthetics of it much better...

    Hard Reset

    How do you do it? Do you have to set up your phone again? Is it the same as a factory reset?

    Verizon Marshmallow Update

    Did Verizon slow down the push out of M? I have not gotten an update notification yet. Seems much slower then updates in the past. {Once they started the update anyways} I don't usually go and force the update. Usually just wait for the natural release. Thanks

    "Fresh" install possible?

    Hi, Is it possible to do a fresh install on a Galaxy Note 5, thus removing all carrier restrictions? I know you can root the device, but I'd like it to keep automatically updating etc. Thanks in advance, Matt

    Audio quality with BT headphones

    I am currently using the JBL E50Bt headphones with my Note 5 and they sound really bad.They sound extremely underpowered.I have the volume all the way up and it isn't even close to being too loud to listen to they just seem like they would if you were listening at a normal volume level.

    I just upgraded to Marshmallow (sprint) and I noticed my battery seems to suck now. Also I noticed wireless charging does not work. I'm going to try a factory reset to see if this fixes. Anyone notice the power saving option is different now? Before it lets you turn off/on some options but this...

    Contacts

    On my Note 4, I was able to only display contacts with phone numbers. I also was able to sync my contacts with their facebook accounts as long as they were my friends. I can't seem to do these things anymore on the Note 5. Am I missing something or you just can't do it?

    I was doing putting away my phone goofily and accidentally activated a one-handed type of operation, but instead of reducing my whole screen or just keyboard, it reduced my active app (Google Hangouts) to a smaller size, but I could still see the home screen and manipulate apps behind it.

    Saving Pics to Cloud

    With no SD Card on the Note 5, is there a way to save the pics directly to the cloud and not have to keep a copy on the phone to save storage? Coming from the Note 4, I didn't have to worry about space. I guess the same would go with files to (docs, spreadsheets, etc.).
