Anyone knows how to fix bluetooth? Can't turn it on anymore. Pressing the toggle in the settings doesn't turn it on, it just stays grayed out.

        Anonymous, 16 Jun 2021It is not specifically the Exynos that ruins it, but the Co... moreYou are right about the Cortex A57 causing heat problems, not about the following Exynos problems though. First of all, the Exynos 8890 didn't use Cortex A72 cores but Samsung's own custom Mongoose M1 core. In 2017 they only used Mongoose M2 cores (no Cortex A73s) and in the 9810 only Mongoose M3 cores. In all these generational "upgrades" the CPUs got faster but also less efficient, which is why the Exynos 9810 (with the M3 cores) is one of the worst Exynos SoCs in my opinion. The 9820 and 9825 fixed some of that with using only two instead of four Mongoose cores and two A75 cores. While it is dumb that Samsung didn't use A76s in the 9820, it isn't the reason the chip ran hot, it ran quite a bit less hot than the 9810 due to the A75 actually.
        In the Exynos 990 (THE worst Exynos SoC in my opinion) they used A76s instead of A77s as you noted, but again, the reason for this chip running even hotter than the previous were the up-(or rather down-)grades of the Mongoose cores, which is why Exynos 2100 was a lot better than the 990; it didn't use any custom Mongoose cores but only Cortex cores.

          Dexstex, 26 Sep 2020But the Exynos chip ruins everthing.

The Snapdragon 808 and 810 have similar problems with heat. The Cortex A72 from the following year mostly fixed it (Exynos 8890). But then again, in 2019 Samsung messed it up again by using Cortex A75 instead if A76 (which was like 50% better!), but trying to get the same performance as the Snapdragon 855, which DID use Cortex A76 derivatives, so the Exynos 9820 and 9825 were slower than the Snapdragon 855 and used more power, plus they were built with the 8nm process, which is more comparable to 10nm than 7nm, different from what the name would suggest. Luckily, whith the Exynos 990 and 2100, they mostly caught up to Qualcomm, which is nice to see in my opinion, a diverse market with few monopolies has more innovation.

It gave me 88% after boot. The Exynos also runs bad on PUBGM LITE (LITE, not NEW ERA) because to overheating. I dont recommend this phone if it is for daily gaming. But the good thing is gyro has no delays unlike those extreme budget phones with a bad gyro

                Mines SM-N9208 and i only have a SAMSUNG brand name on the back, no Duos, no IMEI stickers, just SAMSUNG name

                      Is Note 5 duos having imei printed back or plain???? And duos printed in original back or nor????

                        Just received a NOS Samsung Notes 5 Duos running Nougat 7 and what a nice piece of hardware. I swapped my aging 2013 Notes3 N9005 with this Dual SIM version of Notes 5 SM-N9208 . The Camera is so good almost as good or better the the latest Notes 10 IMO. It came with s-view cover and screen protect . The dual sim works well with the two operators here in NZ. Vodafone NZ , Spark NZ and very handy while traveling . Have used it for two weeks and love it and its very smooth and fast. Battery dont last whole day and internal storage 32GB is fine with all the cloud storage available. 4GB ram and Bluetooth sync with both my cars's BT. ( RR-BMW BT ULF V13, Garmin 760, ). It does 4G+ on both network . 5G starting to be rolled out here https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2019/08/first-vodafone-5g-mobile-towers-go-live-in-auckland.html . https://www.spark.co.nz/5g .

People have started to throw out their note 5s after 2 years, and it would be difficult and expensive to tailor the brand new Samsung experience ui to the note 5

                                  My Samsung Galaxy Note 5 often hangs until it can not be ON.
                                  Forced to use simultaneously pressing power button and volume + - to turn it on.
                                  Why this happens?There is anyone who can help explain it.
