wow what font is that bro? really nice.

I'm an iPhone user previously, note 5 is my first android phone since 6 years loyal to Apple.

I've never use my note 5 home button, not even once! And i don't even use any assistive touch app, all i'm using is just the back and apps soft touch keys.

Haha i always do like this, use the left soft touch keys to bring out all apps, close all apps, then im at the home screen, hahaha always like that!

It will not matter anyway, try to think how many minutes per day do u spend your time looking at the lock screen? Im guessing maybe less than 3 minutes per day.

Like i said, im coming from iPhone previously, i always use assistive touch on iPhones, main reason is to avoid using home button, no bad history with home button just that i like to keep my home button "virgin" all the time. Until the day im selling my phone, then i will taste my home button virginity. Damn it, sound so wrong. hahahha! but i think u get what i mean right? hahaha. Just that i already got used to not using home button. I already got used to close all apps to get to home screen.

I already tried everything but in the end whatever i do i still got 5 & 1/2 hrs SOT average, no matter what i do, i will get that SOT at the end of the day. One thing i notice tho is that note5 does not have good standby time, i notice our note5 battery perform their best when we use them regularly, the more hours u spend on it in 1 day, the more SOT u will get, the lesser time u spend on the phone, u will end up getting 5 hrs SOT maybe less depending on your standby time. This is from my observation la.

TLDR; the more frequent u use your phone in a day, the higher SOT u will get.

To me note5 got the best battery life among all phones ive ever used. No matter how heavy my usage is, it still can last me till end of the day, it differs from my 6 plus previously where the standby time is really superb whenever im not using the phone, but when i use it, battery drain significantly faster than my note5.

And the best thing about note5 is the fast charging, just 1 hour can get back to 100% battery life. Go makan dinner with family, take shower etc, before bedtime can get full battery life already.

Oh i forgot to tell u my setup, currently im just using everything in stock mode, i didnt even use the app optimisation, it does not make any difference for me so i prefer to switch it off. So yeah, everything stock u defintely can get 5 to 6 hrs SOT daily.

I just want that vulkan API working on my note5! Then it will be perfect!

What i mean is standby time vs. SOT, u either get good standby time with lesser SOT, or more SOT with lesser standby time. and its not just overnight standby time, overall.

mine from china. no problem at all with the phone.
