My country (ad signs) :

iPhone: Everywhere, like EVERYWHERE

G3: only one carrier

Samsung which isn't Note: Everywhere

Note: ....

iPhone wins in this regard.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ronj1986:
If you wanted a 32GB S5, why didn't you just buy a microSD card and insert it into the phone[emoji15]? I don't see that as a reason to go to the iPhone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] eurominican:
Remember Remember the note 4 doesn't come out until some time next month while the iPhone launches next week so of course iphone has all the advertisement and coverage.

You may have a tough time locating a 6 plus the first couple of weeks, inventory is constrained.. iphone 6 on the other hand... I think apple went HAM on making these
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
That's based on zero fact. If any company out there spend money on advertising or anything else it is definitely Samsung. But right now it's all eyes on the iPhone so that's what the carriers are pushing. In 2-3 weeks they will advertise the note.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yeahmon:
Once the iPhone 6 comes in and people realize it's the same crap in a new case, Samsung will launch the Note 4 and give many people buyers remorse. Samsung says "let Apple have its day, then we'll continue to kick it's ass".
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
It was exactly the same here with the Note 3
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Aloupha:
That didn't happen for the Notes 1-3, why do you think it will happen for the Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
It didnt happen with the first note but it did happen with 2 and 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Geeks Empire:
i

There is some funny ad in Samsung Mobile youtube

But the point is there is no smartphone that you can compare with NOTE series

maybe you can compare iPhone 6 with Galaxy S5 (i don know how!?)

but it s impossible to compare i6 + i6+ together with just S pen functionality :D

:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Aloupha:
I especially didn't see any advertisement for the note 3. I am not 100% sure about the note 2.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
The note 3 was definitely advertised, so was the second generation. Not so much the first because in the US (and I'm speaking primarily in the US cause thats where I am) it was initial only available for AT&T. Only much later on was it available for Tmobile but it flopped big time. But the note 2 and 3 were definitely advertised.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
It must vary because I seen next to nothing for Note 3 advertising. Carriers acted like they couldn't be bothered to set up a display on release day
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rans0m00:
How to stop this.... Copy apple... Announce then pre-order then a week later ship the phones. Almost leaves carriers no choice but to promote the phone. Not to mention the long wait between announcement feels like Samsung doesn't have it together and leaves me a lot of time to debate if this is really the phone for me. The announcement wow factor has worn off and I don't feel the urge to rush out and buy it. I do plan on buying it but there will be no pre order... Just when they have it in Stock at my local store is when I go get it. If the followed apple they would have a pre-order from me and better carrier coverage.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
so, you should be glad there is some time between announcing and having stock; that way, you can THINK about it first, insted of just rushing out and signing up for a 2000 dollar "commitment" that you might regret a day or 2 after buying it..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] COA4178:
You know one thing that really bothers the hell out of me is why are news channels talking so much crap about the iPhone 6and that iwatch? Also retailing seems like Samsung doesn't get hardly any advertising. I laugh bc note 4 clearly outpaces the iPhone 6 on specs, I honestly don't see the major improvement of this iPhone. Let's not even talk about the iwatch, looks gay.... I think apple pays off all major news channels to talk and sugar coat its devices and u get the idumbies here freaking out BC iPhone is the "best". Iphone is for ppl that don't know how to use a smart phone to its full potentials. Cheers to my android:beer:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
It could be because Apple is an "American" company, and Samsung is a Korean one??

Or, the media is so obsessed with anything Apple does, they fall all over themselves to report it..

I can see the headline now....."Tim Cook Farted, and we have all the exclusive details for you on the 6pm News"...

I just change the channel when that krap comes on..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] COA4178:
Lol Tim cook farted and came out with a price lol major dookey
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
Nah..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
Dude!

Don't tell me you are gonna grab one of these things?????
[Galaxy Note 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
G3, seriously? ;) As for Samsung vs.the carriers the relationship's co-dependent. The carrier's need Samsung because, like Apple, they have the biggest U.S. smartphone market share, most recognized and sought after brand, and spend billions a year driving people to the U.S. carriers to purchase a smartphone. Obviously the carrier's have a great deal of influence as to what they promote, when, how often, and where (online, TV, store). So Samsung does rely on the goodwill of the carriers to push their products. But on the scale we're talking about neither Samsung or the carriers can afford to piss each other off.

You can purchase a iP6

today

with a delivery date. Not so much the Note 4 and Edge availability is even sketchier. It makes no sense to try and equally promote both phones; especially when one's not available..

How many people buying an iP6 are really potential Note 4 customers anyway? Subsidized customers will get a new phone when they can, not when it's launched making "launch day" a "launch period" tied to upgrade cycles. The Note-series (big screens) isn't a secret so iOS customers willing to make the switch to Android had plenty of opportunity through the iP5. So my guess is iOS to Android users aren't going to be swayed any more or less with the 6's and Note 4's release. So who does that leave? People who bought Android only for the screen size and can't wait to get a big-screen iOS device? From the people I know there aren't any iOS folks that would be swayed by any Android device or Android folks who would move to iOS for any reason including screen size.

When you think about it, Apple releasing big phones puts their loyalists in an odd position. For years they were defending their 4" phones as the "right size," ridiculing all other phones as "wrong." Now, specs wise, it really is "Android vs. iOS" with form factor being neutral. Tim Cook thinks big iPhones are going to steal share from Android. Personally, I don't. Especially when a great phone like the 32GB G3 can be had for $99 or less on contract and the Nexus 5 for $349 (half of a 16GB 4.7" iP6) outright.

I think iPhone people will wet themselves over the iP6 and Samsung fans the Note 4 and Edge with (WAG) 10-15% being undecided and actually considering both. I think iPhone users are more status conscious than Android users and the dramatic differences in the iP6 (the iP5 was at best incremental) will cause sales to go through the roof with people buying them outright if necessary to have Apple's "latest and greatest." That group will also be first on the pre-order list for the Apple Watch pretty much guaranteeing its success. It's good to be king. A

As for Note 4/Edge sales I do believe they'll be below the N3's. Not because they aren't great phones; because we've reached the point that "new" benefits aren't as compelling any longer. I'll get a Note 4 because it'll be free since I'm on AT&T Next. But I'm not nearly as excited going from N3<>N4 as I was N2<>N3. Especially with the Note 4 being slightly bigger and heavier than the N3 with the same size display.

All just my opinion of course. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] COA4178:
Lol in my case is a huge upgrade since I'm still stuck on the first note hahaha i717. It has a cracked screen, mad laggy, and mmm has survived amounts of drops lol.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lmt125:
I went to T-Mobile site yesterday and for the preregister to get more info. It said in the bottom of the pic of the phone is coming out in October. Which makes sense as the notes have been released around that time frame of the year.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ed Murray:
I find it extremely hard to believe any member of this forum would even consider an iPhone. I'd rather buy a Note4 and another smart watch and still save cash over a IP6 any day... I was just given an IP5s last week to tinker with. I haven't even turned it on. Not my cup if tea I guess, but that's just me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
I just saw 2 great Samsung Note 4 commercials on fox football, so I guess the "lack" of note 4 commercials has been dealt with!!:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rans0m00:
I'm buying it anyways. The long spread between announcement and release just means whatever momentum the announcement made was lost. Seems rather silly to do a big announcement to just waste the hype.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shoulon:
When the Galaxy S5 came out.... sheesh at the advertising.... couldnt go anywhere without seeing a S5 related ad every 45mins. Tv, internet, billboards.. everywere
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Aloupha:
I don't think there has been any lack of advertisement on the S series. It's just the Note.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] cinnaC2C:
CNN published a bunch of news reports about the iPhone 6. I did not see any publicity for Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] evolone:
A few things that may have been mentioned already (I haven't read all the pages):

The phones only recently passed the FCC. Why spend ad dollars if it can't get sold, I'm sure ads will start flying around soon enough. On top of it maybe the phone is in limited production and they don't want too many people rushing out to buy them all up and then have a dry period, that'll funk sales up.

Also there have been worries that phone will be considered a medical device and get the medical tax thrown on (i'm not sure if this true for US, but many countries have it) because the UV, heart rate, sweat analysis and blood sugar analyzing features that it has (these features have been kept pretty under wraps because of the worry).

Side note concerning above, many people have complained that there hasn't been that big of a tech leap between the 3 and 4 but they're unaware of these additional features. Pretty damn amazing to me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
The carriers do not spend much of their own money on device advertisement. THAT is fact. Please feel free to ask a carrier.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
You're arguing against yourself. Who said carriers spend much of their time advertising? Samsung is the one advertising big time. But when the dust settles and the note is close to being released you'll see some advertisements from the carriers as well. Feel free to check any major carrier retail store at that time to see if there aren't any signs or posts outside advertising the note. Samsung pays for it. THAT is the Fact.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
There is a good reason for the Apple coverage during their announcements: http://9to5mac.com/2014/08/29/seeing-through-the-illusion-understanding-apples-mastery-of-the-media/

Few sites that get early review-samples -> more visitors for those stories -> only sites that give positive reviews are included in the early review group -> sites write a lot of stories to make apple happy in order to gain as many visitors as they can, and keep their early-review sample status.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WyldeStile:
I saw 2 or 3 different "Then Next Big Thing" ads while watching football this past Sunday. They compared the N4 against the IP6+.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
great post, thanks:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
As someone who does product reviews as a public service (non-tech items), it disgusts me to see bias like that from reviewers.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
It's a shame, but at least we now know why most review sites are so "biased". You can't really blame them for covering stories that give them the most exposure (one of engadget's reviewers told me that it doesn't affect his writing that much, but I'm guessing they give out high scores so that they get early samples next year as well (the review itself wasn't that positive)).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Aloupha:
I saw the previously mentioned note 4 advertisement ( http://youtu.be/oxhSnNZH3Rk ) on TV last night. So, we are getting somewhere :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] COA4178:
TA HEll?

to this very date, apple has dominated the major web pages with its iphone6 and the plus on places like cnn.com, tmobile, att, WHY?

1, they making the iphone look like the best mobile device out there on the moment.

2. news making apple pay feel as is the first time ever something like this has been implemented, did they forget who came out with the mighty idea??? GOOGLE WALLET......was it advertised? more like ignored.......

3. now what about the mighty famous Iwatch? Was this the first smart watch out there? Pebble smartwatch was first then iwatch right? what about the galaxy gear 2 watch? they been out for couple months now right?

since when apple hears what customers like and implements it to their devices? lol by the way i did see the movie of steve jobs, he was an A***&&)#hole.

google and samsung, plus the other device brands out there do a better job listening to what actually the people would like to see on their next devices then this..

with all this, how u feel? i feel quite mad and with more dislike towards apple and their whole devices. Thumbs down......
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Martinjv71:
They are saving their marketin $$ for Note Edge
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WyldeStile:
Actually we can and should blame them. If the article is listed as an editorial or with a disclaimer that they received the early sample based on past and continued positive reviews then OK. If they are not giving a honest review then the article/site is useless.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
review sites are pretty much useless anyways, as almost all reviewers interject their opinions throughout the review, and now that it has been revealed that most sites give better reviews to those companies that provide free, advance copies of their products to them, their reviews are even more worthless..

there is only one way to know if you will like a phone, and that is to go see it and play with it yourself....

Hello everyone :) !​

My phone is blocked in a bootloop. Maybe, because of an app that I did install to backup my sms : SMSBackupRestore (?).

I don't want to lose the data of my sms and mms nor to lose the data of my memos : this are really verry precious things to me because there is contained my evolution and the one of my friendship and love.

So, I search to repair it without deleting them.

Maybe by flashing the rom stock without any wipe ?

I am a real newbie. So, an entire week-end I tried to find a way to fix my phone without success, but didn't find any explanation enough clear or certain so that I could follow it without any fear nor doubt.

Any advice mate ? :confused:

yesterday I had to flash GPE because I tried to downgrade my stock 4.4.3 back to 4.3 (jelly bean). then I failed to downgrade and stuck with a bootloop .. later I flashed GPE rom with flashboot and now I have GPE 4.4.4 atm (xt-1032)

my question is can I go back to stock kitkat by flashing a rom with a custom recovery (TWARP or CWM) ? or should I have to convert the file format back to f2fs from ext4 before flashing another rom???

really appreciate any help...

You can just flash a fastboot Image (follow guide and run all commands or run included .bat if there is one) - nothing needs to be done in recovery.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay2the1:
I seem to be having an intermittent problem with notifications on my new Moto G, when using the device and a notification comes through everything works 100%, however I sleep the device by tapping the power button as you do, occasionally notifications will not come through and then I tap the power button and the phone buzzes and the notification light starts flashing like they just came through at that second (when the time on the notification shows as X minuets previous).

I can't seem to replicate this in any fashion, it seems completely random and effects all types of notification, Gmail, WhatsApp and also the Ringer from Android Device Manager.

The Ringer from Android Device Manager is where I first confirmed the problem, I was playing with the Android Device Manager locating my phone which was sleeping right next to me, it located it fine so I hit ring and it said 'successful' or words to that effect, but the device was not ringing at all, picked up the phone and woke it, it immediately started ringing. I tried it a 2nd time and the same thing happened again, the 3rd time it worked as designed.

I've tried restarting the phone and clearing the data of effected apps, but neither worked, a reset of the device is the next logical step but I would like to hear if anyone else has this problem or has any other solutions.

This is happening when the device is connected to WiFi (even while sleeping) with the mobile data either enabled or disabled, I have not tried what happens if WiFi is not turned on, because when I'm at home I want it to use WiFi.

TLDR: sometimes by random I don't get notifications until I manually wake the device when they did actually come through X minutes previous it just didn't tell me.
