[Galaxy Note 4 General] avsquare:
In agreement. Some of these fanboys should probably take a neutral perspective and try out these phones over a period.

I have both the 6+ and Note 4, and the 6+ and here is my personal input:

- 6+ seems to be much smoother overall in terms of interface. But I think that's probably because of Samsung's crap load of bloatware and heavy UI, but that again, considering that it is a SnapDragon 805 chip, the sluggish behaviour experienced is a little puzzling. However it is not that 6+ doesn't have its own problems though, sometimes I have to force close apps like FB and restart as well. But Note 4 is comparatively weaker in this aspect. Hopefully custom ROMs and mods like Cynogen would make the experience much better. The "reachability" function by double tapping the 6+ home button is another joy for single hand operation.

- Fingerprint sensor. This little tech is kind of a huge convenience to me when I need to operate my phone one handed. The slide-type fingerprint sensor just... sucks when compared to the still version on the iPhone. On the 6+, just place your thumb there and it unlocks without a problem, but for the Note 4, you need to slide in a really fixed direction, full thumb scanned and make sure that the scanner isn't wet (or your thumb for the matter). 6+ provides a way better experience in this aspect.

- Battery life. Well we could say that the Note 4 sports a 2K screen compared to the 6+ which is just FHD, but based on the same usage pattern, the 6+ lasts 2x longer. Yes, 2x - I can get about 10hrs average screen time with the 6+ while on Note 4 is about 4-4.5hrs average.

- Screen. Whilst Samsung's 2K screen is superior in resolution, do not underestimate the 6+ screen just because it is FHD - it is pretty damn good and its black level is pretty good despite it is an IPS screen.

- Sound Quality. Sound was never the strong suit of Samsung, IMO. Sony and HTC were better for droid phones in my own experience. The 6+ is definitely better here.

Of course when it comes to feature, the Note 4 would be superior here. I guess I don't need to touch on the various selling points of the Note 4 already. It has some other little things that I have noticed, such as it seems to have a very good photo up-scaling algorithm. Previously I tried using a FHD sized wallpaper on the LG G3 and the result was pretty poor, it was visibly pixelated. However, my current wallpaper on my Note 4 is actually a photo with 600x900px as its dimensions and cropped to fit the screen and it looks damn great. There are probably more little things we can discover with this device.

I just want to say that "better" is a subjective term because it needs to take into account of the user's needs and preference which differs from person to person. What people should do is to list down the differences and usage experience objectively, then let others decide what is more suitable for them.

This thread is full of moles. I really don't think it has a place here on the Note 4 forum as it just creates an iOS vs Android war. People come here to talk about the Note 4, develop for the Note 4 and solve problems for the Note 4. It's an Android forum. I for one do not want to read posts that spout on about how they believe an iphone is better.

U r wrong though. Compared to note2. Note 4 is lag free even on tw. I'm using the exynos version. Now I'm using nova launcher. U can say that it is getting even better

Not sure what samsung update that you want. Do u know that google has been updating the google play services quite frequently? This is the way google taking control back from oem.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mchief298:
Yeah, I should probably edit my post. TW on the Note 4 is so smooth. I can not wait until I get my phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
finally an un-biased comment from someone that has owned both devices and operating systems.

Now because I always owned android devices and not a single iOS device I want to give the 6+ a chance, however i'm leaning towered the note 4 as it looks superior with it's S-pen and all of the other features. I'm not sure if I should take the note 4 as my daily phone, and maybe a small tablet with iOS for the games/apps support that they have, or just an iphone 6+ and thats it. thoughts?:p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
I just got my 6+ and exynos note 4 yesterday i must say performance is pretty much same. In 3rd party apps my note 4 is faster too. Like some games loading screens pass faster in note 4. It mentioned in other thread too but instead of recent apps menu delay (it happens sometimes) my note 4 is realy smooth as an old htc one user it pretty much htc smooth and l liked it realy maybe its just about snapdragon version i have no idea.

And about battery yesterday i had 6 hours screen time easyly with note4 and i dont know the actual screen time on iphone 6+ cuz it doesnt shows it but i doubt it can give that much usage was like 8-9 hours and i had like 2 hours talk time and like 1 hour of music play it adda them both too and other stuff like checking mail etc adds in using time too. So i doubt it can pass 6 hours screen time too if you didnt measure it something else i would recommend make another test.

And about screen both are awesome. Note cant give iphone great whites and iphone cant give note blacks. I would just use any of them without a problem in anyother phone.

Both are great phones and have their pros and cons.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] avenging:
i think comparing any iphone to the N4 is a disservice to the note series haha.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] avsquare:
It really depends on what you usually do with your phone. If you game a lot on your mobile, the iOS may be better because it just have a wider variety of games on the app store, in my opinion.

But if you are after functionality and stuff, I think Note 4 may be your choice. I pretty much enjoy the S-Pen. It is just not about productivity, in fact I use the S-Pen more "socially" - take a photo or screenshot of something or a friend and scribble/draw funny things on their faces and share around etc. It is really about personal choice. Of course if you have the luxury to own both, I think it is another joy too.

My Note 4 is on Snapdragon so I cannot comment on your Exynos. But I am pretty damn sure that my comparison is fair. My weekdays are extremely routine - wake up, travel to work and use my phone while travelling. I don't really touch my phone much during office hours, then I would surf on social apps and the net while travelling home, then I would use my phone again while rolling on the bed before going to sleep. Each day is approximately about 4-5hrs on the phone in total based on this routine, and indeed the 6+ lasts me 2 days before a recharge while the Note 4 is just one day.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
I ll use them 1 week together and ill report again. Im sure you can last 2 days with plus but just doubt it can give 10 hours cuz im using ipad air too it barely reach 10 hours. But i realy liked both.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] s327374:
Ok - I thought long and hard about this and ... I didn't get the iphone.

I got the note 4.

And for the first time since my N82 days, I'm taking decent shots of people (scenic shots were already great, but now ... my family too.)

I think not being able to customize my homepage would have done my head in and I would have been selling the thing after a few weeks. I remain on the Android side for telephony and the Mac side for Computers.

Cheers

note 4tw

Note 4 is laggy until after you root i use custom rom.

It has a superior screen and takes better daytime cam-shots. You also have the ability to customize more

iphone 6 plus is very responsive has a big app library and takes better low light shots with the camera.

You cant really customize and your basically stuck with apple walled garden and vision.

Translation - apple is a like a corolla reliable consistent and boring the note 4 is like a subaru wrx fun xoxoxo

I have used both and still prefer the note
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Slai:
TW-based rom so you keep the pen and multitasking features, or something that turns it into a "big phone" instead?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nabobcoffee:
There two types of custom ROMs. One is TWz based which will keep all S-PEN features and maybe adding more S-PEN features. The other type is AOSP where you have the option to turn your phone to a nexus device with additional customizations but fewer S-PEN features. With AOSP there are some S-PEN features that work but not all of features work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Slai:
I know, thats why I asked which he used.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] poopflinger4u:

Currently using touchwiz based rom (firekatv4) best note 4 rom atm imo.

Iv'e been searching for a while now but i can't find a stable version of Cyanogenmod anywhere for the Samsung Galaxy tab 3 10.1 GT-P5210. Not any custom ROM actually. If you do find one please tell me. It can be an unofficial Cyanogenmod as well. I would like it to be either Cyanogenmod 10.1 or 11 or 11s if anyone would even do that.

I do have root so don't worry about that.

I'm running stock 4.4.4. But recently I notices that my device is overheating compared to uses.

So I did a factory reset-- reinstalled greenify --heating up

Denied superuser permission for greenify --no problem

Any solution for this problem?
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
See my sig for my devices and setup. I have no such issues.

Obviously, you have greenified something which you should not have. That is always trying to run and Greenify is always trying to stop it from running. The cycle goes on and that is why your device heats up. You may also have battery draining issues and high CPU usage because of this.

Degreenify everything and then, one by one greenify and see when you get this issue. It is most likely a system app/process.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voltz92:
I have an HTC One M8 (CID: HTC__J15) with Software Version: 1.54.401.10, updated from 1.54.401.5 to 1.54.401.10 without any issues. I have rooted, unlocked bootloader and have s-off using firewater. Recently I have tried installing the official update to 2.22.401.5. But everytime it fails. When I try the OTA mode (using stock recovery), the update starts to install, but when it reaches about 25%, there is an image of the phone with a red exclamation mark inside and after a while the phone just restarts. I tried flashing the OTA update.zip using the recovery, but it fails due to file mismatch. Tried to install the 1.54.401.5 Nandroid Backup(to go back to full stock) from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2701376 but that also fails due to md5 mismatch. At this point, I do not know what else to try to get the update. I wish to keep using the Sense rom. Any help is much appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jqmmes:
I had a similar problem... When you get the red exclamation mark, press vol up + power button and read the error message... In my case it was the /system/xbin/nc that was overwritten by busybox and the sha1 verification failed... The solution was extracting the original nc file from an nandroid and replacing the bad one..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voltz92:
i have tried doing that but the phone simply restarts :(. I do not get any error message.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jqmmes:
You sure? :/... Mine would stay with the red exclamation point for a few seconds before restart... And when I clicked on the button combination the normal recovery menu would appear and there were error messages at the bottom in yellow...

Sadly I am sure. Have been trying to install the update for a week now. No luck. Have tried almost everything that comes to mind (and whatever comes up in google).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Why don't you use 1.54.401.10 under CID HTC__001, the one that I uploaded is made with TWRP, so change your recovery to TWRP, restore the backup then flash stock recovery 1.54.401.10 then do the OTA.

HTC__J15 and HTC__001 share the same software version.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
It probably restarts because you held the power button in, simulating a "hard reboot" instead of just holding in volume up and TAPPING the power button to enter the recovery menu to see the error at the bottom.

AH...umm...this might have been the case. I'll give this a try. I feel so dumb now.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voltz92:
I kinda got around the MD5 mismatch using this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714114. It worked for me. I did not want to download another nandroid backup because on my connection nobody would :P. But the Nandroid itself turned out to be unnecessary as I got the same error as jqmmes following BerndM14's suggestion. I'm now going to try the method suggested by jqmmes. Thanks to Everyone for helping me out.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
:good:

Glad it's working out then. No need to feel dumb though, learned something new! That's always a bonus :D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
No problem ... the only reason I suggest the TWRP backup because I see many people doesn't know how to fix that md5 mismatch on Philz recovery. Since you know the workaround, then it's good for you.

About the error ... once you find it, you still need a fully working nandroid backup for the correct files ;)

So can't really say a nandroid backup is unnecessary .. you may need one later to fix the current corrupted/modified files.

Hi :)

Im asking for help, beacuse I wanted to extract my stock ROM from my LG L7 II's backup? Can i manage to do it somehow or is it not possible? Is there any other way I could pull the stock ROM out of the backup? Thanks for all hints tips and informations, I appreciate it. :)

If your backup's a .img file, you can just extract it with an archive manager and copy the .\rom folder out of it.

If it has no file extension (Windows calls these just "Files"), try adding the .img extension, as sometimes backups are saved without an extension but really are .img files.
