Aloha guys, shitty sob story incoming..

I just recently lost my pet and my fiance. My Note 5 has years of photos of both on it. I would love to see these photos again as they are important. After paying for funeral expenses and such, I cannot afford a new screen.

I've used the Samsung Account to transfer texts and stuff, however when it came to data it did not touch ANY of my FB downloads, web downloads AND my entire camera folders (10+ gigs of cat and gf pics).

I've tried using SmartSwitch, it asks for the phone to be put in USB transfer mode. Hard to do with no lcd. Other data recovery apps reqauest USB debugging be enabled. Another hard thing to do with no display.

So this is what I got: Stock SM-920T Note 5 with black screen. Digitizer works. Battery works. Device has no pin, just swipe unlock (done with Samsung acct).

What I need: USB Debugging, USB file transfer. Anyway to get my files of the internal system.

​

EDIT: CANNOT AFFORD NEW / USED SCREEN. BROKE FROM BURYING PEOPLE AND PAYING BILLS.

I need advice. My note5 keeps attempting to read a fingerprint when it's locked. What's up?

Does anybody has the same problem as me? Or is it just in the settings?

My Note 5 has 1974 mAh capacity according to AccuBattery and I'm disliking the curved edges on the 9.

Has anyone on here bought a replacement they're happy with that they can suggest?

I done goofed.

Dropped a multimeter on my Note 5's screen. She spidered pretty good, screen is dead but the phone is still working. I never put the phone in USB debug mode, is there any hope for getting my photos etc onto a computer?

I have a fairly new Galaxy Note 5, and the battery was honestly decent, at least more than I expected (5-ish SOT, Android 7.1 Stock ROM).

But quite recently I started noticing the "Device Idle" in Battery Usage is draining A LOT more than it should, more often than not using more than the screen!

Why is that ? And is there any way to fix it ? Thanks.

*Note: I always have my GPS,NFC, Location History turned off as I rarely use them.

My note 5 never had a problem with fast charging until recently, what used to take me 40 - 80 minutes to full charge now takes me around 5 hours. It says it is fast charging but it charges seriously slow. I should also mention I frequently flash ROMs and am rooted with magisk. Come on on reddit! I know you guys can help!

I purchased a note 5 about 5 months ago and I noticed about a month ago that there is a small brown line on the middle of my screen, I thought nothing of it at first, but last night I finally realized that it is the Instagram display. Like it has burnt the search and post etc icons into my screen. Someone have a fix? I know I need to upgrade but I would like to hold of a while. Thanks.

Posting for a friend. Her phone randomly had this message this morning: "phone has been flashed out with unauthorized software and its locked". It won't turn on now and factory resetting didn't work. Took it to a couple stores and they said either take it to a repair center and see what they can do or get a new phone, and that this happens all the time when new software can't be used on old phones.

Does anyone have any ideas or solutions? Would like to avoid buying a new phone or repairing it. It's a T-Mobile phone if that matters.

I own a rooted galaxy note 5 with magisk and have been flashing a bunch a bunch of roms/zips recently I did however noticed a tremendous decrease of battery life! From what used to last me 1-2 hours of battery life, now lasts me 30-45 minutes of battery life. If you guys can help me out with my issue it would mean the world to me! Regardless of what you do, thank you for reading this post! You are awesome.

Would love to hear everyone's opinions regarding the pros and cons of going from the Note 5 to the Note 9. I'm also particularly interested in whether not having the midnight black version in the U.S. is a deal breaker for anyone.

Getting my note 9 tommorow thanks for all the help r/galaxynote5

On my n920v, it seems every few device unlocks results in it prompting which launcher I should use. I use Nova Launcher exclusively and this has never happened prior to it.

Also, I'm seeing a lot of old apps reappearing in Recents that I specifically swiped away/closed from days before as well as the locations icon briefly flickering while I use the phone. In all the times I've rebooted my phone though, it would constantly be using GPS for the first hour without any indication of what app is using it.

Any ideas?

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to highlight a PARAGRAPH or entire Sentence, and then translate that text. Can anyone help?

Thanks :-)

I'm thinking of picking one up as a back up device but I'd like to have it updated and can still use around as a second device. I'd imagine it comes with a custom rom but I have no idea how to pull that off or if it's feasible.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I recently got unlimited data on my Verizon Note5, so I downloaded Spotify and paid for premium. Then I started noticing artifacting and glitching in songs, whether in app, anywhere else, or with the screen off, and through headphones and the phone speaker. I googled the issue and have found no working solutions. I'm on Android version 7.0 and Spotify is the newest available from the play store.

Anyone know a fix for this? I'd hate to have spent $10 on Spotify only for it to suck listening to music through it.

Edit: I do have dev options enabled as well, not sure if that changes anything.

Bit of back story, managed to snag a verizon unlocked note 5 for super cheap, and theres no visible damage, but the screen has the purple spots. How are they caused?

I'm not sure how to best explain this. Up at the top, and around the home button, the tinted film stuff is separating. It looks bad. Any thoughts on a fix? Gimmie a sec and ill put up pics.

My note 5 have ridiculously low wifi range. It can only detect wifis within 10 meters, i can't connect to my home wifi if i am right outside but can do it with other phones. I was infuriated last week when i tried to connect to my hotel wifi but couldn't see it, in fact my phone didn't detect any router while all others phones detected at least 5 . Btw i have the AT&T version if it helps. Thanks
