[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dligon:
Looks good. I'm not sure why some people are complaining about it being the same size 5.7 as the note 3 why would you make it bigger. next everyone will be walking around with 70" flat screens up to their heads.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] aquaholik:
I was hoping it would be waterproof. Not sure if I want the increase resolutions at the expense of battery life.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
I'll stick with my Note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
Ha ha that would be a site. I'm with you. The screen is big enough for me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jeraldbro:
Unless the bootloader can be unlocked I wont be buying another Samsung!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dligon:
Well you might as well get used to the bootloader never being unlocked. This is becoming the norm pretty soon you won't find any phones with a unlocked bootloader. The only reason I want it unlocked would be for customized kernel support for better battery life far as ROM I'm fine with stock with a little of the bloat taken off the top. Never understood the ones that buy the Note series and just turn it into a oversize S5 why get it when you don't have the s-pen function or use the s-pen?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Wow iSamsung!? That's more of a software update to the note 3 with a worse battery life. No thank you. My note 3 is better.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] c-prodigo:
I agree with you totally, its more of a software update and more megapixels to the camera, I think all of that can be baked into our note 3, by our developers, not too exited about upgrading to the note 4, and I also expected water resistant.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
Yup. With all the kickass devs we have here from Bri, RErick, Mega....and you count, yes, our note 3 is soon going to be a note 4 without the heartbeat sensor that I'd never use. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] fix-this!:
On at&t they will always be locked. Same with verizon. Tmobile version wont be locked down. I boycotted sammy long ago. My next device will either be the xnomi mi4 or the nexus 6.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I'll pass. The Note 4 turned out like the S5. It's just a "plus" version with no major improvements. In some ways I feel the Note 3 is superior.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SirFork:
As has been said… same phone, minimal improvements. Unless the display is truly that much more impressive I can't justifiably use my two year upgrade to purchase an incremental improvement. With the snapdragon 810 around the corner in 2015 people would just be kicking themselves getting this hardware. Samsung is so bent on beating apple to the punch they shot themselves in the foot by not joining the 64 bit game on this hardware revision. I'm going to wait for android L and all of the things that come with 64 bit goodness.

As cool as the note edge looks, it looks like an expensive, flashy gimmick that will serve no real purpose other than being a footnote in the history of smartphone creation.

That being said, I still love my s pen, and will reserve my final judgments until I have seen them hands on but, like the S5, my first impression is one of thorough disappointment. Go home, samsung. You're drunk.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
That's why I'm probably getting the note 4 but I'm ditching att and going to tmobile. Ha ha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Richieboy67:
I love the metal and the screen!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
I've always liked the metal on the phone too. Ever since I saw it on the iPhone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Richieboy67:
I had to fix my spelling.. Medal.. lol

Years ago I had this HTC clone that had a metal removable back and have always wanted something similar.

If I could get one of these under $700 unlocked I would grab it. As it is I'll most likely be going with the g3 for under $600.. Wish it was metal though.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dawheat:
Personally I see the Note 4 as big a step forward over the Note 3 as it was over the Note 2 (which IMO was considerable). I've owned the Note 2 and Note 3. It fixes the weak areas of the Note 3 and frankly seems to be a phone with no compromises.

- the metal frame alone is a big deal to me - I HATE the chrome plastic frame of the Note 3. Button feel is supposed to be much better as well.

- the Note 3 screen is good but not great. It's still a touch dim compared to the best LCDs and whites are not quite white yet. If the S5 LTE-A 1440p screen is any indicator, both these areas will be noticeably better than the Note 3 screen. And battery life on the LTE-A with the S805 didn't decrease at all vs. the normal S5 with the same battery size.

- The camera needed to get better - the Note 3 is not great indoors and bad in low light. I end up using my wife's iPhone in low light situations.

- Personally I like the fingerprint scanner (even if it's not as good as TouchID) since my work enforces a password unlock to use it for BYOD.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DroidOblivion:
I'm definitely disappointed. I was hoping for the same water resistant goodness of the s5, and I'm thoroughly dumbfounded as to why Sammy left it out both versions of the new Notes. Love the outward design as far as the metal goes, though. This was more update than upgrade by far. Consider the ball dropped.

And they could've pushed the 3rd side of the Note edge's bezel back a mm or two... Seems too slim for me
[General Questions and Answers] 19chris9:
Hello community,

i kinda read everything on every forum about this topic, and nothing really worked, so i am asking here now.

I tried to flash CFW on my phone, but since the guy making the thread was a genius, i downloaded the wrong cfw for another handy, bricking my recovery, i am also stuck in a bootloop. HOWEVER i can still access Download mode and Emergency Download mode.

BUT if i connect my phone in download mode to my pc, it says that it is an unknown device, i deleted and installed so many drivers just to make it work, it did not. I also swapped USB ports, cables etc.

Suprisingly, when i connect my phone in Emergency download mode, Windows finds my phone and it actually works, even odin finds the phone, but i still cant flash it since im stuck on "setup connection".

I am on Win 8.1

Any help appreciated :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Curious D:
Hi. I really like my 8125. However, I have been running into a problem where my phone will freeze (maybe due to a free launcher program I installed) and sometimes, I don't even realize that it has happened. This is a problem with a phone since I can't receive calls when the phone is frozen. My wife has a Palm Tungsten T5 and I installed a program that registers a crash and automatically resets the T5. Is there such a program that does this on WM5?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
I can't imagine an app that would detect when a phone is frozen since the definition of frozen is that nothing runs. My recommendation would be to get rid of whatever you suspect (you get what you pay for!) and if that doesn't cut it, wipe the thing clean with a hard reset and start over, paying attention to what you put on and how the phone reacts to it. There's a lot of crap out there I wouldn't let anywhere near my phone.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
My phone works perfect when connected to a power source, though it doesn't charge. It does charge wirelessly. When I disconnect the phone from power, it freezes. If I plug it back in within a second or 2 it starts working again. If not, it resets itself. It doesn't boot past the M screen, however. It just bootloops at the M screen until I plug it in again.

I can get to fastboot. If I issue a restart command via fastboot then unplug it it works fine til the next time I plug it in and try to unplug. It still doesn't charge with a cable though.

I used fastboot to completely reformat everything back to 19.6.3 stock. Exact same problem.

Any other ideas? Is this a hardware issue? Is it time to make a claim?

Thanks guys!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
You downgraded? From what? Never downgrade.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
I didn't downgrade. I was always at 19.6.3. Indeed, never downgraded. Never took the 4.4.4 update due to the issues with rooting on it. All of this just started happening on its own with increasing frequency over the last week or 10 days. No changes were made in terms of rom, firmware build, etc. (I had frozen MotorolaOTA apk with Titanium but I un-froze it just to check and still had the same problem).
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
Are you sure the fastboot steps you performed are equivalent to what RSD & the XML do?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
Yes, except it doesn't require that xml modification step. I've used the same steps (and the same files) to reformat in the past. The exact thing I did was method 2 of this post:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] vilasman:
I have noticed that I can start with my phone fully charged....get to work...facebook, text and mayb..e YouTube some, connect

To an external battery charger and then be on and off the phone all day maybe 15 mins per hour using the phone not

Connected to charger and then 45 mins on the charger and the phone never gets fully recharged.

It will rise in fall by maybe 20-30%

So if I let it get down to 50% use it it will go down to maybe 30-20% then let it charge it may come back to 50% and it does that

For the rest of the day. Even if I leave on charge for maybe an hour it won't get past 50-60%.

I tried just leaving it on a charger while listening to pandora.... at best it looses charge very slowly. Maybe 5-10= an hour.

I started off today fully charged and have maybe had it off an external battery for 30 mins during the last 3.5hrs and it is down to

77 or 75%. Is this normal? Yes there are a lot of notifications and such running non my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
This is very common place if you are not using the Samsung cable & Samsung charger. Generic chargers and cables don't always deliver the full current to the phone. Some will only pass about .5amps which is not enough to charge and have the screen active. There is a thread in the General Section called car chargers that has a lot of info on this.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelgzg:
Well it seems that my internal SD is damaged or G Moto conclude that after trying many tutorials in order to recover and none work, despite installing stock rom, gpe, recovery, etc (all without error and apparently good) but it seems that so do not write install on the phone because no change, in fact I have tried to not think of brick and even that allows, there will be some way to fix this? even for hardware?

Or if there is any way to format the internal sd using adb, just as is done by a custom recovery

Note: this because it allows me to install a custom recovery

If you note, thanks
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debaj:
I had a similar issue, and I have bad news. If your warranty is still valid flash the original recovery back and try to ask for a replacement. I ended up with buying a broken Verizon branded Moto G as donor and replacing my logic board, of course the cellular network does not work but at least I can use my device for development. My problem was that the eMMC chip got some bad blocks (similar to bad sectors in HDDs) and it prevented the cache partition from mounting and some of other partitions became read only, for instance I could not update the recovery or install a new ROM while I could read the system files, while I was able to push files to the /data partition.

There is a tool called badblocks which can map these blocks and thus fix the eMMC theoretically (it generates a mapping file which can be used later by fdisk) but unfortunately this tool was left out from the Moto G's base system and I don't know if there is any ARM compatible version of it.

I asked around in GSM repair shops if there is any way to replace the eMMC chip with another one of the same model but all of them replied that they don't have the proper machinery to do such fine work and unfortunately there is no official Motorola service in Hungary so they couldn't even get a replacement logic board.

Funny thing that all the write operations were successful in fastboot, but later I found out that on most devices the eMMC controller is so primitive that it barely contains any error handling at all. It will only report trivial errors with a perfectly working eMMC chip, if the eMMc is broken and it cannot produce valid error messages the controller just assumes that everything was OK.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelgzg:
Well it seems to be almost the same, and I give my phone as lost
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _3psilon_:
I'm having the very very same issue with an XT1032 Moto G. "Read-only" eMMC. At least I know I won't have to look for a service center in Budapest since there is none. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xda rocks:
Dear XDAs.

Do you really feel that Note 4 is really worth to call as an upgrade from Note 3.

Personally I fear not. It is just another flavor of Note 3 and would like to call it Note 3 Camera Version. But surely not as an Successor to Note 3.

How do you see it.? Lets discuss here.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kersh:
No it isn't and for that they will not see my money for the first time in since the original galaxy

I had the galaxy s, s2, note, note 2, note 3 but I will skip to note 5 or any other
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sheth1nks:
Not for my money, my Note 3 will serve me well into 2015. Not considering software enhancements, the Note 4 is an incremental evolution (display, camera) slightly longer (not interested). My Note 3 was a considerable bump from my beloved Note 2. I've got plenty of performance, capacity, features to last.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markysd:
Rear speakers ruin it for me..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dan37tz:
Well considering the rear speaker on my Note 2 sounded much better (louder, fuller) than my Note 3, I'd say if they could use the same formula..I'm game!

That was one of the big disappointments with my Note 3, the speaker was pretty mediocre. Tinny and the volume was just not loud enough compared to the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markysd:
Yeah true.. my gs3 was louder then my note 3 lol.. just not afan of rear speakers butill have to see in person..not sure if its worth update my note 3 lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
It ruin it for me too! I am very angry.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowLea:
No.

Maybe if it had 4GB of RAM and a 4000mAh, but not this.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Let's see.

Same size screen..yep

Larger device overall..yep

Heavier..yep

USB 3.0...nope

Samsung what were you thinking when you built this...oh wait... You weren't thinking obviously!

Not worth getting...if anything the n4 in some ways went backwards from the N3..

[Galaxy Note 4 General] markysd:
Would of been perfect if it was on the bottom side like mote 3 but improved. .

Yeah 4gb of ram with 64bit ..4000mAh would be nice but I think 3800mah lol
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
Overall I think its a good upgrade but I wish it had the speaker in the same place as the note 3 and atleast a 3400mah battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sohebq:
I entered Samsung world from S1, the s2 and s3 and then note 2 and 3. Always had no hesitation to upgrade but this is first time ever I won't upgrade. Samsung has not given me anything special to consider. The reason I am whining on water resistant is that I always felt that phones should have it and was very happy to see it in S5. Samsung was mad to leave it. I don't care about camera as I already have Nikon D7000.

Even if i have to buy, i will buy note edge but that too after 6 months.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iZack187:
I would say Yes, this is a worth upgraded version of Note 3, this is a perfect KitKat device. But this is NOT worthy of being called Note 4!! Android L is right around the corner, and a 64bit+4GB Ram would've been flagship for that flavor... Now somebody else will get that spot.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
I'm relieved the speaker is rear firing - hell yeah, hopefully it'll give the sound some more bottom than the Note 3, just like it does on my old Note 2..

Also - have they dropped the scrapbook feature? Hope not, was actually useful...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yahyoh:
such difference much wow

i think the only exciting thing is the 16mp ois cam
[Galaxy Note 4 General] urbanlink:
Alright guys I'm either going up to best buy tomorrow and getting the note 3 for 99 bucks or I'll wait and get the note 4. I am so pissed because I waited and entire effing year for a water resistant note.

I'm posting here because I know a lot of you have the note 3.

First three to reply with a recommendation will make my decision. Thanks in advance!!!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
If I didn't have a note 3 and was buying a new device I'd get the N4 of course. Why buy a year old device when u can get the latest.. Makes no sense.

Note 4 for sure.

I dont know!!

i was really excited about this phone for over 2 months but now when i see it I'm in love with the design but whats up with the

rear speaker?? i mean why would they do that?? the most thing i like about the note 3 from the entire galaxy line was the bottom

speaker the sound was amazing but bringing it back to the rear i mean that's just a step back for me. i love the entire galaxy line

I've used most of the galaxy devices but the Only thing i hated was the rear speaker. I wish they would find a better place for the

speaker!!!!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
Exactly! This is the only thing that make me so sad today. I dont know what to do now. I hate back firing speaker.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
my two biggest disappointments were battery and speaker placement

The speaker on the back I think has something to do with the two mics on the bottom.

As for the battery I would like to know the excuse for that.

I mean since the Note to Note 2 and S3 to S4, the battery increase on samsung phones is just getting smaller.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tstint:
That why you should always skip a model year. I have the note 2 and I'll be getting the note 4!!!!!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] spriteboost:
Not worth the upgrade I personally don't think. I may have jumped from the n3 for n4 if waterproof and better battery. Also put the speaker in the front facing my ears come on.... not in the back how does that make any sense for the sound waves to travel to the ground then to my ears.... ah well. Maybe a nexus again if they make a nice jump in camera :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Geeks Empire:
I actually did that.

Sold note 3 to buy Note4

1. Exynos 64Bit

2. QHD super Amoled

After see new detail in IFA

3. More Sensitive S-Pen

[Galaxy Note 4 General] xManMythLegend:
Why so much care over speaker placement ??

Phone calls always sound terrible and if you're relying on it for media audio boy are you doing it wrong.

Did note 2 ever get a Note 3 Rom port ? If N3 gets a quick ROM port with the new features then no..not worth it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] art90262:
Note 4 has some nice ginmicks but same ram same battery and no water proofing will make me keep my note 3 for another year....samsung really dropped the ball and their sales will take a nosedive....mark my words the n5 is in danger of not ever coming to life
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Baratheonist:
The keyword is "worthy" - and I say NO. More like a Note 3.2

But all in all it is still an upgrade. And because I have been on Tmobile's Juump program for 10 mos. now, I most likely will upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wargear:
Gotta agree with posts here... I expected 4gig ram support for 64g+ sdcards somewhat bigger display etc.. Yeah it looks more like a note 3.2 than a 4 and I held off getting a tmo note 3 for this?? My liquidsmooth note 2 still kicks ass guess my sister will have to wait a bit longer for it!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LouRock:
Save your money folks, not worth the upgrade on specs.

I'm sure the Note 3 devs will be porting many of the Note 4 features making the Note 3 even more appealing. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sevensaints:
it is for note 2 or note 1 users....

My Note 3 is performing very very very well at the moment.

No reason at all to upgrade to Note 4 .

Could have the edge on the note 4, then it would be nicer
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kri$:
Note 4 doesn't cost $5, so it's hard decision because of disappointment.

In my country it will be about $940 (3000 polish zloty), when Note 3 is actually available for about 1500-1800 polish zloty (which is $470 - $560).

I suppose that many of functions which offers Note 4 (wide selfie, new way of marking files or new S-Pen menu) will be available on XDA (apk or new rom ported from Note 4).

Yesterday about 14:59 I was going to make preorder, and after DJ Lee announced Note 4 I've changed my mind.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] dirtybudha:
The light upgrades are marginal; CPU, display resolution, etc. These are pieces that won't make a big splash when compared to the Note 3.

- No water resistance

- Slight battery upgrade

- Speaker moved to back

The first and last were deal breakers I set before the official specs.

This would be a GREAT upgrade for those with the Note 2.

As a Note 3 owner, I'll wait to see what Sammy learns from this when it builds the Note 5. Or I'll wait to see what else is coming down the pipes. I'm perfectly content with my Tweaked Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] melcali:
Yea. The omission of water/dust resistance, not a deal breaker for me but would be nice. Samsung mentioned something about how the Note series is more for people who are productive and on the move being the reason they did not make it water resistant but then they make the new tablet water resistant? Doesn't make sense.

The metal is a welcome. Honestly it looks like those aluminum bumpers you can get for the note 3.

Actually glad I dont feel the note 4 is a worthy upgrade. I'm tired of spending money and changing phones :)

The answer you're looking for is "yes", which is the first option.

You're choosing the Note 4 over the Note 3, so your answer is yes.
