I am glad I bought Note5. In the past 6 years I had used S2, S4, Note2. I loved N2 a lot but it lags. I wanted to get Note4(bcoz I have lotsa photos and music on MicroSD fron N2) but decided to buy Note5 bcoz it has better camera and nicer design. After 1 month of using Note5 (firmware N9208XXU2PE2, May2016), I don’t miss the MicroSD card anymore. I put my files on USB flash drive and connect to OTG. Before I go travelling, I move photos from internal N5 to a flashdrive OTG. Its camera is very clear and fast. The battery seemed to last 14 hours with facebook, browser & social messaging, on Wifi. When I travel, I use Google Map & Navigation and shooting photos (without flash) and is on mobile broadband. So its battery only lasted about 5-6hours (Note2 lasted 7-8hours). So I have to bring along my powerbank (with fastcharge) to charge when I am in the car. So far, no lag for all the apps I needed for my daily use. I am very satisfied with its size too. N2 was too thick and feels big. It does get hot when I do gaming or GPS stuffs but that is normal and happened to many phones I used.

From your device just dial.
*#272*IMEI#
To get your IMEI just key in *#06#, you'll see 2 IMEI's if you have a dual sim like my Note5, just key in the first one and it should come up with the list of operators that you can use for your phone.
Downside is that I had to backup everything because it reinstalls the OS. You can use Samsung smart switch to do that.
I hope this helps.

Hi,
Bought May 2016 in Indonesia, on 3rd June charger broke down and I claimed the warranty at SEIN. They happen to have this on stock and they replace it on the same day. Cable was fine, the adaptor turns to be off, just wont charge. Asked the technician and she told me she thinks its a weakness and only happens to the fast charging adaptor only. So user of S6, S7, Note 5 will face same issue. If possible keep the warranty card and also the purchase receipt for Indonesian user as Samsung require this to be able to claim your official warranty.
Cheers...

It started about 5 days ago. I still have v5.0 then when both my SIMS lost 3G/4G signal, i brought it to Samsung service and they said that it's an issue with my provider. Apparently I am locked to the Phone provider, but that's crazy because it used to work just fine, even with my Note 4. Somehow they forced my to upgrade to 6.0.1 and now i have 4G on sim one but 2G only for SIM 2. That sucks because I have data for both.
I found a link that unlocks my phone from the carrier, will that solve my issue here?
