I thought I was on Facebook for a second... Like if you agree?

The Note 2 had a different battery than the Note 3... I don't recall any updated phone being capable of falling back and using it's replacements battery. I really hope this didn't tax your thoughts too much.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xclub_101:
I think another important reason was to be able to use the same battery in the normal Note 4 and in the Note Edge or in some future model with an even more curved screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] senectus:
Like if you agree" ?!?!

What is this facebook?

What a ridiculous post... Battery size, shape and capacity is delicate balance of cost benefit analysis and engineering.

Nothing more, Nothing less.

Can we leave the tinfoil hat wearing, spraying vinegar in the air to get rid of contrails BS on Facebook please?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kuromusha38:
ahahahaha, now you have GapGate. Lucky I am not getting the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pcman2000:
Just to elaborate on my point, they did this probably to allow for more PCB area to allow for the separate SIM and MicroSD cards.

You can see in the above image of the Note 3 that there is very little space on the right and left side of the battery (especially with the spen) to house wiring and antenna cables to the USB board at the bottom. The even narrower design of the Note 4 probably would've disallowed any interconnect between the main board and USB board had they kept the same size of battery. As a result, they have narrowed the battery which has allowed them to fit a connector between the two boards.

Additionally, the metal construction may have restricted how close components can be placed to the edges.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] kuromusha38:
Seriously, how often do we need to change sim card? Every time you change your phone company or change phone...

Plus you have to restart you phone when you change Sim card anyway.

This new battery design and the reason behind it is as stupid as.

Note 2 has the best battery design.

The last company I know of that actually shared batteries across its devices was BlackBerry. It was a nice way of doing it, but they're less than well received around here so be careful singing their praises.

I think its less cunning than you think. I think they build an internal layout and then say, "okay how do we fit a battery with it?"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] willi_3609:
The Galaxy s2 on T-Mobile and the Galaxy Nexus had the same battery size, so you could get a small boost by getting the T-Mobile battery. Anyways, that was just the sprint version of the Nexus that did that, the others has slightly different dimensions.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] silverbladef:
Many nights of careful analysis LMFAO
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Joey121215:
Go on eBay, buy yourself three extra batteries for ten bucks, problem solved. Stop whining. Companies almost never use the same battery phone model to phone model. The only reason the S2 and the GNex had the same battery is because they were practically the same phone with the same internals. Most consumers also go two years between upgrading their phones, would you be crying if the Note 5 had a different battery from the Note 3? The reason the phone weighs more is because it's got a metal body, metal is denser than plastic. Also, if you're not getting a Note 4, why are you on these threads?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cbutters:
Wow.... four pages of this, and nobody has the real answer, just a lot of stupidity flying around.

The real reason for this is like maybe a few people stated, is in the engineering of the device.

First of all:

The real reason the battery is different is all about the quick charging. Notice that the Note 3 battery is 3.8V and the Note 4 will be 3.85v, it may seem like a small difference, but specific battery chemistry at a certain voltage is critical to charging at a fast speed in li-ion chemistry. These are carefully considered changes and battery manufacturing processes are ever evolving and changing as well.

Second of All:

ALSO. YOU CANT JUST SAY "oh.. its only 3220 watt hours instead of 3200 Thats only like .6% increase! Thats nothing". Calculating the actual energy in the battery is more complex than that. mAh is a product of the relationship between Wh energy and Voltage. The exact equation is Wh * 1000 / Voltage = mAh

For example, open up your Note 3 and look at the battery:

It is a 3.8V battery and it says what? 12.16Wh right... Well, take 12.16 and plug it in...

12.16 * 1000 / 3.8 = 3200​

Thats how mAh is calculated, the Note 3 has a 3200 mAh battery.

The note 4 despite only being 3220mAh actually has quite a bit more energy in it, it just doesn't appear so because the voltage is different.

I don't know the exact specs because I don't have the battery, but we can extrapolate the Wh on the Note 4 by using calculating what we DO know, the 3.85 voltage and the 3220 mAh. So take 3220 * 3.85 / 1000 and we would find that the Wh of the Note 4 battery should be 12.4.

so a 12.4 Wh battery on the Note 4 vs 12.16 Wh on the Note 3 is actually a 2% improvement in actual energy store, not a .6% improvement.

For reference, If the Note 4 had the same voltage as the Note 3, it would be called a 3260mAh battery.

So there you have it, the battery is different for a variety of engineering reasons, the main one being the faster charging wouldn't be faster without a change in part of the battery chemistry which bumps it to 3.85, and the Note 4 has more energy in its battery than the 3220 vs 3200 would have you believe.

Hope this helps.

A bit late to reply but I hope it helps:

The OK Google bit appears to help you to know that that is when to say it. Once you have done it a few times it doesn't appear anymore.

I did:

1) Press button to fire up the display

2) I said "Ok Google, what is the weather going to be tomorrow"

3) I cleared the results once they had loaded, then pressed the button to power off the screen

4) Pressed the button again to fire up the display

5) "Ok google, what are the share prices?"

6) I cleared the internet search result that it displayed.

After that, no more "Ok Google" everytime the screen fires up. Results may vary, but by 3-4 timers it should definitely have stopped doing it.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
Can someone tell me why is the Note 4 both larger in size, thicker in thickness and heavier in weight despite having exact the same size screen and virtually the same size battery?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcobourn:
Probably to make it less bendable. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
Apple has proved metal is more bendable than plastic. So what is the real reason why Note 4 is heavier and fatter?

Is it because all the conspicuous metal around the side?

so Note 4 is heavier, more bendable and has less reception than the Note 3 and more expensive?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawheat:
The Note 4 is actually slightly narrower which should make it a slight bit more comfortable in hand as width is the most impactful dimension. The differences are so slight that you'd never be able to notice it hand - though after holding the Note 4 at Best Buy, I do think it's the metal frame along with the larger home button. I'd say all of the weight difference is from the frame as well.

Note 4 153.5 x 78.6 x 8.5 mm 176g

Note 3 151.2 x 79.2 x 8.3 mm 168g

1. The metal frame is noticeably more substantial than the chrome colored plastic trim on the Note 3. And after holding it and trying to bend the Note 4, the huge increase in rigidity and feel is absolutely worth it. The Note 4 actually feels like a premium device - it's very very good.

2. The home button is slightly larger, probably for a more reliable fingerprint scanner than the S5. The home button feel is also much better on the Note 4 than the Note 3 (which had that annoying slack).

3. I don't know where you're getting more bendable (the phone feels massively more rigid than the Note 3) , more expensive (same price in the US - though your market may vary), or worse reception (no test has mentioned this and the radios have no problem with the plastic back - this isn't an all metal phone).

Really once you hold the Note 4 in hand - both the improvements in the body and the screen are impressive.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcobourn:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
Yes it does. Are we watching the same video? You see how Note 3 just bounce right back? This level of strength is not something that you will find in iPhone 6 or Note 4.

Plus, no one still have provided me with which the Note 4 is fatter and heavier?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcobourn:
It just demonstrates the Note 3 performs better that the iPhone 6+ in that particular test.

The Note 4 is actually thinner, as Daweet pointed out.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawheat:
That's an unsophisticated statement - the issue is not a materials problem but a design problem. It's like saying a F1 car carbon fiber monocoque cracked in a 40mph collision where a rally car steel frame did not, therefore carbon fiber is weaker.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipmanwck:
Aluminium is a soft metal but apple hiding behind that is a joke they made no shape just a flat bit of soft metal so of course it bends. Htc made their phone with shape. Try bend that. Looking forward to feeling a note 4. Looks solid!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] userdsp:
But heart rate monitor give not corrected data, so...?!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _INSPIREed:
One feature of the heart rate monitor that Im sure a lot of people would use is its ability to take front facing cam pics by tapping it. Much easier than trying to take a pic with the on screen button. Especially if you are a small handed individual.

I do think you are over analyzing the size difference a little too much. These are millimeters in difference in size and weight. Go play with one and you would be hard pressed to believe it is any different than the note 3. It actually feels better to me due to the slightly tapered metal edge and slightly narrower profile. To each his own I guess.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Ask Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
I did, and Samsung reply was

"We are too stupid that is why. We thought it would be cool to fit every little BS features into a tiny phone to compete with Apples on the number of useless features. You know things like heart rate monitor, IR bluster, sandwich cooker etc."
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawheat:
Lol it seems like the op is someone desperately trying to believe his Note 3 is better than the 4. You don't have to upgrade every year but don't be so jealous.

The metal frame and vast improvement in feel, the amazing screen, OIS and improved camera, the improved fingerprint scanner over the S5, and even the heart rate sensor to take selfies easily all make a much superior phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slackerzack:
Yet another in the long line of unreasonable Samsung haters. I find it funny that most of these get created as new account a, and that likely...it's 4-5 people who just have nothing better to do with their lives than wax-pathetically about a company, and its phones products and customers, that just don't care...how anti-Samsung lunatics feel.

Look, I don't care if you want to talk about missed opportunities. Good idea to get feedback out there so OEMS know how the consumer feels. But I stop short of the "Samsung is stupid, nobody likes stupid touchwiz, plastic phones are dumb and people who buy them suck...and my mom says Samsung raped her kitten..." Nobody cares, and in fact...given the number of Samsung devices versus any other OEM...make the arguments look stupid. Without Samsung...Android looks a whole more like Windows phone than it does today (market share wise...and then all the market share advantages)...in many ways, to many people...Samsung is Android.

Hello Everyone,

I have had my DROID 4 for about 5 years now, out of warranty and I cant get it to charge!

I have had it in for about a day once and it went to about 60% the once I unplugged it, It decided to drop it IMMEDIATELY to 10% !

I realize its an old phone but Is there any way I could get it fixed myself?

Its a DROID 4 XT892

It is rooted, working on a backup right now.

Can someone plz help me? (I have looked everywhere!)
[XDA Assist] :
Hi,

Well, the first 2 things to try are a different cable and charger. Then the next culprit could be a broken port on the phone. Really if that's the case, you can try to fix it yourself, or take it for service. But will the cost be worth it on such a dated device?

Hello Guys,

I've been on here for a while, and I've recently started my own business call Peekamo. It's a SMS based forum system (not made to replace this forum at all, more like a VERY IMPORTANT POSTS ONLY FORUM), along with personal SMS to anyone at no cost (aka FREE). These are all "real" sms, not smtp so that means not you or the receiver gets charged.

This is my attempt at causing a ripple in the high priced SMS market that the providers currently take advantage of.

So please try it out and let me know what you think. It's still in beta, so please understand if something things are out of place. I would really appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have.

I've already created a forum for XDA users, you can create your own if you wish. Our service currently works in US and Canada, and we're working on getting the rest of the world ready by the end of the month.

Thanks and hope to hear from you all soon.

The site is peekamo.com

Cheers!

Axiom, great to see that we also have some real entrepreneurs among this community. I wish you the best of luck for your venture.
[General Topics] axiom:
Thank you. Our vision for this concept came by when my partner and I were at a club with another friend. After about 2 hours our friend gave his number to this girl that he met. At 6:00 we were at a breakfast place when all of a sudden the phone rings, and guess who it was. Yup, it was the girl. She called every few hours after that bothering him and sending him text messages.

That brought on the idea of anonymizing cell phone numbers by linking them to an ID with the ability to block out people from texting you. When you're finished with an ID and picked up all the girls/boys that you've ever wanted to, just change your ID and the connection is over right there and then.

Other then the anonymity feature, we found that we need to create a community presence so that everyone can use their new Peekamo IDs with others and share common intrests without giving up their phone number.

I don't even use my email as much as I use my peekamo id, and when I use email I sign it "dont' even think of replying, just peekamo me."

Hope to see more of you there.

Questions

Ok, So a couple of questions:

1. I signed up, it sent me 2 different "codes" through sms to use as verification, but neither is working. I will be glad to send more information if you wish, let me know your preferred method (PM, email, etc). I guess that wasn't really a question, but whatever.

2. When you say free, how is this done? I pay per text message on Cingular. Your website says "Save more money on your phone bill by using Peekamo.com and send and receive SMS at no cost." I am still going to pay per text message to Cingular, right? Have you figured out some way for them to not charge me per text message? As an example, I am sure I'll be paying $0.20 for the two previously mentioned text message "codes" when I get my Cingular bill. If you have figured out some method for me to use sms from my phone, at no cost, well, holy crap.

3. This ain't no question either. I just want to say regardless of the answers to my above questions, thanks for jumping in to the arena and providing something. We need more people willing to jump.
[General Topics] axiom:
1. Make sure enter your phone number, email address, and code. Becareful you are not entering zero for O and vice versa. I will check your code in a bit

2. You WILL NOT BE CHARGED for the messages you received, nor will you be charged for any messages sent through the Peekamo network. You are right on the money, just like you pay .20 per msg, Peekamo pays per messages. We subsidize it through ad text at the bottom of the message of up to 20 characters. I think that is fair, no? Peekamo is one of only full no charge sending or receiving text message service in North America, everyone else uses SMTP, so you send free but the receiver pays.

3. Trust me, I know all about the lack of services such as ours. I fully intend on making waves in the industry that's monopolized by the carriers. With enough users on our network, we could seriously cause carriers like Cingular to rethink their 50% price increases in text messaging.
