[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] busab:
I went and checked out the Note 4 today at my local Best Buy in Greenville SC.

I walked away impressed. The screen was drop dead gorgeous. Touchwiz was much more snappy and smooth than what I was expecting. I didn't see a gap either and I looked.

As for the edge. I like it more now that I have been able to play with it. I can see how it could be quite useful, especially when multitasking. I think I will stick to the note 4 this go around though. I will be taking a much harder look at the 2nd generation Edge next year assuming their is one.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RaymondPJR:
I finally made it to Best Buy yesterday to have a look and I have to say I was blown away by the Note 4 regular and Edge! All I could think of is what a shame it is going to be to hide this phone in a protective case!!! It's that good-looking! The screen is a noticeable bump up from the Note 3. I didn't want to believe the pictures I'd seen of the speaker on the back, but yes, unfortunately, it's on the back! The gapgate thing is nonsense! The tiny space around the screen of my Envy X2 seems to be the same width and I'm not having any dirt issues! Honestly, what I saw coming out of Korea were gaps large enough for a credit card and I saw nothing like that! I have reservations about the fingerprint sensor since I've never seen it in action and read about a 'higher than desirable' failure rate on the S5. I've also read that an update from Samsung improved it to 95%, but we'll see. This thing is just awesome, and I hope there are no hidden issues that we don't know about yet. Does anyone know if the same problem that prevented the Note 3 from working with Google Wallet will be an issue on the 4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Baratheonist:
I'm on Tmobile and yes google wallet, as an nfc payment, will not work. They force you to use Softcard ( formerly ISIS) with which they are partnered.

Not sure what the situation is with other carriers.

I hope Apple pay is eventually adopted by merchants which is what Google wallet needs to take off.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Will Rickards:
Which is why I'm not planning on using a case. Plus the phone is big enough already.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I have never put a case on my phone. I dont like it as it make it thicker. I have preprogram my mind that whenever I talk the phone out, is the ground concrete or soft. And I always held onto my phone tight. Do not have too many things on your hand. So I am about to sell my HTC One M7. No scratch anywhere on the phone. I have it for 1yr 3 mths now. And I will be moving to the N4. Taking care of phone is not for everyone. I know the accident part.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RaymondPJR:
That's not the issue I was referring to, lol! I should have been more clear. There was a work-around on XDA, but because Google hadn't released software for the processor that was in the Note 3 (at that time stuck on 4.4.2), all the Dev's hands were tied. Last I read was that said software would be included in 4.4.3 update. Now this is a newer processor from that one and was just wondering if anyone knew whether the needed software would be included in 4.4.3/4 for GW hacks to work.

I remember what happened the day after, (22 hours) after buying my GS3. The cases available at purchase were fugly and way too expensive so I passed I had passed the day before. Next day I'm on my way to find a case and the phone pretty much just jumped out of my hand and the screen was shattered. Didn't even make it a block from my front door! Not going to live through that again. You may have good luck, but I'm not taking any chances, lol!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
I broke the screen on my gsIII from knee height with a sub par case on it... I will always have a complete case that wraps the entire edge and creates space in front of the screen for face down drops on gravel... gonna suck with such a big phone though, my gs4 is already bulky.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DrexelDragon:
I'm confused lol

So it's the first full week of october, releasing this week?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aooga:
No, it's releasing the 17th...i'm pretty sure he's joking.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
October...? I thought I said December! I forgot to tell you guys. Samsung ran out of headphone jacks and now have to wait 3 months for more to be manufactured. Expect your Note 4 to be delayed a couple of months.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] DrexelDragon:
Why are you being a douchebag? Your original post made it sound like you had some insider info or someone told you something that would have made you believe it was releasing early. No need to be a ****ing jackass buddy.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aooga:
There's no need to get all upset over a phone. But to be fair, it was pretty obvious that he was probably trolling after the second post.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dkb218:
You child are indeed easily manipulated if by me saying what I expected you took as me having some sort of inside information. I expect to win the lottery sometime soon also. Do I have inside information about that? No. It's what I expect. Learn to read and understand what you're reading before taking anything you see on the internet as some sort of gospel. But...

I'm expecting the Note 4 to be released NEXT WEEK SOMETIME!!!! :cyclops:

Until then.... Enjoy this:

You can play with the new Note 4 at Best Buy starting today. Hopefully some of you will get us some good videos to check out.

I want the edge but I'll go check it out and take some video and pics
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] gpvlog:
Went down to my local Best Buy after reading this. No Note 4. In fact the person behind the desk didn't even know when the Note 4 was coming out. She tried to sell me the Note 3 though. Gonna try in a few days and see what turns up.

Preordered Note 4 today at Best Buy. Had to buy a 50$ gift card as a deposit, not sure if this is legit or not but I didn't argue as I can put it towards the phone when it arrives. Also confirmed (or so the sales associate says) that *any* working smartphone, even if it has a $0 trade-in value can be used for the $200 rebate. I plan on trading in my old Treo!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] RonZombie:
My local Best Buy had it but it wasn't in the cell phone department. There was a separate Samsung display.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] monkey3ddd:
I pre ordered at best buy and was told any smart phone with no cracked screen and powers up will be accepted. I posted on Facebook for such a device and should be good, gonna get one for free.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
What do you mean for free?

The local best buy had only the white note 4 on display. It was really nice... But not really much different than the Note 3.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] monkey3ddd:
Sorry, a friend gave me a phone to use as a trade in for free. As opposed to buying one off CL.

Ahh OK cool. I thought you meant that you were getting a free note 4 Lol.

Just pre-ordered mine yesterday at Best Buy. With the $200 deal, I couldn't pass it up. I'm going to find my old HTC windows 6 phone to trade in.

i had a few spare devices from perktv, trading in one of the zte avids i bought for 10 bucks ;D.

anyone looking for stupid cheap devices id suggest metropcs cdma phones, they are slowly shutting down the cdma network and they are older and pretty worthless phones by todays standards :) can get most for under 20 bucks.

Yeah BBY does this sometimes. It's their way of "committing" you to the pre-order to some degree. Also Pre-ordered mine :D
[LG G Watch] dlbarron:
My G Watch was delivered 2 days ago and I am very happy with it so far. Especially since I didn't have to pay anything to get it (credit card reward points came in handy for the first time).

It sits comfortably on my wrist, it's actually lighter than the Omega I usually wear, and the screen is easy to read. That's important for a guy who needs reading glasses.

The first thing I did was install the Weather Watchface from Pizza Entertainment. Even the free version is very sharp looking, I think, and gives a lot of information at a glance.

I'm a bit disappointed that the only way to get new watch faces on my watch is to load up my phone with a bunch of apps. That's a little disappointing to me, I would think there would be a better way to do it, like loading them through the Android Wear app. Oh well, can't ask for too much this early.

Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davethebrave14:
Hi

okay so heres the deal. I have a QI knock off wireless charger i got on ebay and whenever i use my nexus with it, after around five minutes i take it off and the back is extremely hot to the touch. no cover or any skin of sort. and plus it only chargers like 1 percent in a long space of time. So figuring it was my charger that was the problem i ordered a new one, an LG Wireless charger compatible with my device. and yet again the same problem happened.

any ideas?

grateful if there was a solution as i spent quite a bit of money on them

Thanks

Dave

[HTC One X+] i360droid:
Ok guys,

I have recently had a bootloop, that was deemed "unrecoverable" by HTC

Ok, so first things first,

YOU NEED TWRP!

*i dont know what it is, but the commands only seem to work on twrp in different situations*

no. 2,

This android revolution ROM http://www.mediafire.[com]/download/58f2vid3okfonn7/Android_Revolution_HD-One_X+_8.0.zip

*part of the reason for my bootloop (apart from wiping the os) was a low hboot (1.35) and this works with 1.29+*

all drivers, and CWM universal drivers (dont ask how this helps, it just does

OPTIONAL STEPS

wipe userdata, cache, dlavik cache and system

REQUIRED STEPS

put the rom in the same folder as adb fastboot

extract the boot image (if s-on)

open a text document

type:

adb push Andriod_Revolution_HD-One_X+_8.0.zip /sdcard/

pause

Now save it as a batch file

boot into twrp

mount all the options (system, data, cache)

open file manager *in advanced menu*

mess around for a bit looking at different files

do a advanced wipe, (with data, cache and dalvik cache

go back to the menu

Run the batch

(The reason for this is that you dont have to retype if it fails)

if it doesnt work, restart recovery, unplug, plug back in

keep trying.

when it takes a long time to say anything in CMD, it has worked.

Leave it to complete

Go to install zip from sdcard

select the ROM

install it.

just choose whatever install options.

now, DO NOT SELECT REBOOT! PRESS BACK!

REBOOT INTO

BOOTLOADER

go into usb fastboot

make sure it dont say "battery level too low to flash." if it does, leave it to charge

OK, hard part over

TIME TO FINISH THIS UP!

Now you may be thinking, o, this is just "fastboot boot boot.img

but its not, you MUST use "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (dont ask why either)

select reboot system.

It takes 1-20 mins to boot first time, so be patient.

TAADAA!

You have successfully un-bootlooped your htc one x+

i dont ask for donations, just a thanks :)
[HTC One X+] Lloir:
couple of things

you don't need any batch files

you can cut it down by this

full wipe

adb sideload

reboot bootloader and flash the boot.img

fastboot boot boot.img = not flashing the boot.img it just loads it for testing

fastboot flash boot boot.img = actually flashing it to the device and sticks until you change it
[HTC One X+] backb0ne5p1d0r:
*super face palm *

Not sure if you're serious or just trolling..

Fixing it is simple, you made it sound so complicated.

And just like Lloir said, you don't need batch files. And you don't even need AndroidRevolutionHD, you can do it with any ROM... And you don't really NEED TWRP, you can use the command on any recovery with adb.
[HTC One X+] i360droid:
This is what worked for me, it only worked in tarp and adb sideload came up with error device not found, and the batches make it easier to do again if it fails first attempt. This is for ANY brick. That includes when things like sideload do t work, or there are no backups and whatnot.

sent from a badass mother****ing bauss
[HTC One X+] i360droid:
Adb sideload didn't work, that's what I'm saying, and thanksabout the boot image flashing and stuff, I didn't know that! But the batch files are so if it fails first attempt, it's easy to retry, and you don't have to type the long commands into cmd

sent from a badass mother****ing bauss
[HTC One X+] backb0ne5p1d0r:
Adb sideload device not found is either because of missing drivers on your computer, or you didn't choose the sideload option from recovery.

Note that sometimes it takes more than 3 minutes for the device to appear in sideload mode so you should have waited.

And what we said works for any brick too :) the one X+ is S-On for most people which makes it really hard to completely hard brick the phone :). It's nearly impossible. (unless you get a dead SDCard or CPU or any other think like what happened in my case.) other than that, fixing a soft brick on it should take less than 10 minutes.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

Also, you don't need to keep rewriting the commands. You can use the up and down arrows to scroll between commands history and use previously used ones.
[HTC One X+] i360droid:
This was litteraly deemed "unfixable" by HTC, sideload worked, but bailed halfway through, and I'm a retard with cmd so haha

Well,without TWRP my computer wont recognise my device! :/

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie91:
When turning on tethering though the system (not a separate app), I'm seeing a message along the lines of 'Verifying subscription with T-Mobile servers'. I never saw any message like this on my 2013 Moto X. Tethering still activates, but I'm worried about this causing any issues later.

Is anybody else seeing this? Any issues?

I'm on the $30/mo plan with a Moto Maker pure edition.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
I see the same thing. It's normal.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nishmaster2k:
My 2014 X on T-Mobile eventually stopped going past the "Verifying Account" stage. It now notifies me that I do not have T-Mobile Mobile Hotspot on my plan, and thus cannot use WiFi tethering.

I switched to PdaNet and Bluetooth instead, which is working fine.

Edit: This is a Pure Edition phone.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
I had that warning once. A restart fixed it. It was odd because I decided to call in to tech support first, then while on the phone I restarted my X and it started working again, hah.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
That's disturbing. I was thinking of getting this phone, but I don't want to give up tethering. I'm assuming a custom ROM (Cyanogen, etc.) would solve the problem?

Have you tried to see if this also makes USB tethering stop working?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgerbracht:
Might be plan dependent
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
Does your plan include tethering?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
I thought all T-mobile plans supported tethering up to the LTE data limit per month?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
I think all the new simple choice ones do.

I'm still using my Pure on Tmo, and tethering still works.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
I thought if you had a stock rom or something like Cyanogen, they couldn't really block (or detect) tethering, regardless of plan, carrier, etc. Is that incorrect?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie91:
Yeah, the plan includes tethering. I've check my usage and I now see it split between "data" and "mobile hotspot usage" (see attached screenshot). On my 2013 moto x I've never seen the hotspot usage and any data used while tethering just fell under the "data" label - same as any other data on my line. I read something (forget where) about there being a change in 4.4.4 (for 2013 moto x) which tags data used by the hotspot as such. I assume this is how t-mobile can tell the difference.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
I hate stuff like that. Carriers and manufacturers shouldn't be able to control and monitor how people use their devices so much. This does make me hesitate about the Moto X. I'm used to Nexus devices where I have a lot more control over things like this, even if it requires a custom ROM.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techie91:
I agree. It really has me rethinking my decision to hold on to the x. Might move to the nexus when it releases.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Yeah, I'm feeling torn. The 2nd Gen. Moto X is about as close as anything has gotten to what I'm looking for in terms of hardware (if it only had OIS). And of course it is a near stock experience that can be modified with xposed to have features found in custom ROMs. But for the under the hood, keeping the user in control, and privacy stuff, I just trust Cyanogen and other ROMs more. And yet if the 1st Gen. Moto X is any indication, custom ROMs will break some of the unique features on the Moto X, like active notifications and always listening voice controls. On the other hand, if the next Nexus really has a 6" display, I just don't know if I want an enormous phablet. So it's a hard choice.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgerbracht:
I had this trouble as well on the prepaid unlimited data plan. I should be entitled to 2 1/2 GB of tethering. I tried three or four times and restarted the phone and it eventually went through with no extra tinkering on my part. Good luck!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moose8106:
After a week of not having tethering, I tried a few things and got it working! I don't have tethering on my T-Mobile plan, and every time I tried to enable wireless tether in the settings menu, I got the T-Mobile verification failed. But that's all good, now.

So here's what I did:

1) Unlock Bootloader, Custom Recovery, Root (Basically, just get root access on your phone)

2) Download the Xposed Module "Xtether" and activate it. This gets rid of the verification message, but tethering still didn't work, it just got the wifi tether to turn on.

3) Download SQlite Editor from the app store

4) Go to Settings Storage (the one that has "com.android.providers.settings" at the bottom > settings.db > global

5) Add "tether_dun_required" with a value of "0"

6) Go to your APN settings. Create a new APN entry, and set it up the same as your fast.t-mobile.com one, except use IPV4 (IPV6 will not work)

7) Reboot, and you're good!

Wrote this hastily, so if you need clearer instructions, just ask!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Thanks for the explanation Moose8106.

So am I correct in understanding that the tethering function built into AOSP Android (and normally available on Nexus devices) is deliberately modified in the stock Moto X ROM to allow carriers to scrutinize (and possibly limit) how you are using your mobile bandwidth?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronbc:
2104

I don't think it's deliberately modified for the Moto X ROM. I believe it's a restriction of AOSP Android: danielpocock.com/android-betrays-tethering-data

Tethering worked fine on my Galaxy Nexus and when I upgraded to the Moto X 2014 Pure I thought Motorola had applied this tethering restriction but further investigation led me to believe that even the Nexus devices have this issue.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Hmm, I've never had an issue on my Nexus One or my current Nexus 4 (though I'm still--lamely--using Jelly Bean, maybe KitKat introduces a problem). Well, accept that I find I have to change the DNS servers to OpenDNS on my laptop or otherwise I have problems connecting when I tether over USB.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichiban Rei:
I believe this feature came on an update. It might have been 4.4.4. On Nexus 5, if you didn't want reporting tethering to the carrier you needed to modify the "tether_dun_required" line to 0. This being a Google Play purchased Nexus 5. Here's more info in the Nexus 5 forums.

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/fix-nexus-5-tethering-block-t2581035

So, nothing to do with Moto X itself. I haven't tried it yet but yea, this method should also work on the the Moto X.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
And just to update, tethering still works for me on Lollipop on the 1095, no mods needed for T-mo.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Hmm, I just updated, to KitKat (via CM11) and I can still tether fine with no problems. Although, again, this is a Nexus 4. Maybe Cyanogen has already taken care of the problem for me? Not being able to run Cyanogen and other ROMs and mods is one of my biggest hesistations about the Moto X. My days of constant ROM hopping are over, but these little things that strip out dumb settings and bloat, as well as adding in privacy and security features, are one of the things I most appreciate about Cyanogen and other ROMs. But, of course, I don't know if that's why I'm not having tethering issues.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichiban Rei:
Yup, that's why you wouldn't have the issue. I love Paranoid Android and kinda miss it but at the same time the hardware especially when it comes to sound quality, is leaps and bounds better than My nexus 4 and 5. I've still kept those guys but I will likely be selling them soon.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Sigh. If only the Nexus 6 weren't so large.

It looks like there's an Xposed module that addresses this for the 1st Gen Moto X, but it also sounds like some people have had success with it on other phones: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/xposed-moto-x-4-4-native-tether-apk-t2601859 Maybe that will help with the 2nd Gen Moto X? There may be other Xposed based solutions also, I only spent a minute searching.
