TheNeighbor, 31 Oct 2015So, what is your idea of what a "power user" is? I can consume 6GB daily when I need to, us... moreFor me a power user is smartphone user who uses advanced features of smartphone hardware, operating systems, apps, features or software which are not used by the average user and multitask unlike average people. Like the heart rate monitor, S Health, S Calender Samsung Pay and pair it with smartwatch too. Use bluetooth headset for musics. Using apps that is not used by average users like proffessional photo editing apps, camera apps, video apps. Tinkering with the camera apps manually for maximise usage. Using stylus to draw creative media for presentation and signing pdf files. Having multiple charger everywhere including house and office also considered as power user. Constantly connected and posting into multiple social media apps like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and WeChat. Heavy gaming with high quality setting. Dowloading HD games. Always using GPS whenever driving with LTE connectivity. Push everything to the cloud once internal storage is full. That is how I defined a power user. Hoarding data and media? That is just average users.

I can consume 6GB daily when I need to, use over 10 hours screen on time daily, always have my bluetooth earpieces connected for all my phone calls and audio, use LTE hotspot about a third of the time, and I don't carry a powerbank.
Of course brand new Note 4 now is like 40% less in price. Yeah, like 80 GB of HDD space for PCs in 2003 was a standard. Now we can have 6GB per HDD if you need to. Someone here pointed out he downloads 15GB per movie. Yeah, 32GB is like a limit we can live by.

Well, your reason is good enough. I acknowledge that. Note5 same price as Note 4? Is it? I think Note 4 is slightly lower. However, I won't buy a Note 4. I heard its performance is somewhat not much of an improvement from Note 3. Note 3 worth better if someone is so desperate for removable battery and sd card instead of Note5. I recommend it.

My phone's screen cracked top left corner, and i never ever dropped it. Dont know how it cracked without anything, seriously m clueless how did it happened. I mean i understand something would have happened or else it wont crack by itself, but i never let anybody touch my phone nor i myself dropped it. Just bad luck, in last 10 years this is the first phone that got damaged in my hand and i dont even know how : /

AnonD-430264, 31 Oct 2015I never read that 32GB books part, but: if it was said, it's pretty much impossible.. since eb... moreI even scan entire actual books with CamScanner that can go up to 100mb to 200mb+, like my entire library from home if I can't find an e-copy of them. I can annotate them easily without ruining or carrying them to reduce weight. I can easily cast them to a smart TV for my classes, and no need to have to connect to a PC for that.
I honestly have not read all the 958 books I have, but they are quite useful when I need to pull references. A paper needs to have at least 20 references to be viable.
Here's another thing about PDFs - they can be read for you with using apps like EZReader, and just listen while you are in commute. I've done this a couple of times to cut on time digesting a few of the PDF research papers.

Anonymouses, 31 Oct 201530gb books? 30gb video and musics? Sound like a lie to me. Who even read that much books? When... moreYes, underpowered users have a hard time imagining that you can do and store more stuff with current technology. 7 years ago, 16GB internal was considered the ultimate on iPods. Today, 128Gb - next year, I will not be surprised if 256GB models are out.
Since you asked for proof, I can oblige to the truth to stand by to what I talk about here. Upon checking, my ebooks total is about 37 GB worth. If we take a look the screenshot of my storage, you can see how much space I eat up because I have media on standby when I need it:

No, I don't just watch video - they are there to keep me awake if I need to concetrate. Old movies and tv shows collections are there to help me concentrate while I do something else productive. Audiobooks when I travel about. PDF and e-books came to 958 books (last image)- these are architecture books and research which I need to prepare my lectures, research papers I'm required to do, and currently finishing where my Galaxy Note becomes a secondary screen for reading text and muics player while I compose my words with my Surface 2.
I have these file on-hand as data signals are not so good at times. This is an example of really maximizing out of an expensive device. The cost of the Note.5 is practically the same as the Note 4 last year - only fair to say which is the obvious more useful of the two. Meantime, underpowered users are going crazy with the glass back, only to put plastic protection, and have to endure using cloud storage and data expenses going up with what they considered as the most advanced device. I have a different perspective against what you consider to be the way of the future.

I have a ton of marketing books that are well over 3000 pages that might hit 2MB if that.

Nickless, 31 Oct 2015Thanks guys for trying to help retrieving my S Notes from broken Note5
Its my fault not to de... moreWhat a severe accident.
If the micro USB is also affected as well, and unless you had installed administrative apps like Cerberus to remote on to control data or Wi-Fi, there's not other solution to retrieve S Notes physically.
Have you activated syncing with your Samsung account before and kept it on? You should be able to somehow get back your stuff.
