[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bottomfisher:
i ran into this problem after i moved my SanDisk Micro SD (32gb) card from my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3 to my new T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and about an hour later noticed that the battery was down from 100% to 88%. i checked the batter usage and showed that the IndexService process was running constantly.

i talked to T-Mobile Customer Care and Sumsung Technical support but could not resolve the problem. both recommended to just remove the card and not use it - defeats the purpose of expanded memory. i also purchased a new Samsung EVO micro SD (32gb) card, formatted on the phone, transferred my folders and files, and had the same result.

after countless time talking to T-Mobile, chats with Samsung, and searching Note 4 and Android forums, i found a member (worwig) who said he resolved the issue by renaming his directories by putting a period in front of the name (ie: MyMusic became .MyMusic).

i decided to try this. after i renamed my folders to start with a period, i noticed that they were hidden to the Android system, so i had to change the MyFile setting to show hidden files. i powered off my phone, charged to 100%, and started it up again, and the IndexService process was gone. i think that the Android system (4.4.4) does not like non-system folders on the micro SD card.

people who just use the micro SD card to store the pictures and video taken by the phone should not have this issue unless they create their own folders and place files in them. for me i like to have folders to organize my files (t does not matter the type of files on the card: .doc, .xls, .pdf, .mp3, .wmv, etc).

so if you do put a micro SD card in your phone and have non-system folders to organize your content, you will need to rename them to start with a period (ie: MyMusic becomes .MyMusic) so the Android system does not see them and the IndexService process will not run. you will also need to change MyFiles setting to show hidden files.

my Note 4 is working the way it should and the battery life is awesome.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tb21666:
THANK YOU! One question to clarify tho, just the cards root directory folders get renamed or every subfolder as well?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bottomfisher:
Hello tb21666,

because i changed the storage location of the pictures and videos taken by the phone camera to the memory card, the Android System added these system folders that i did not rename: Android, Camera, DCIM, and LOST.DIR. i only renamed my person folders but not any sub-folder within them.

for example, i have a main folder called Music with many sub-folders for each artist - i only renamed the main folder (Music to .Music) and did not rename the sub-folders. just remember to change the File settings to show hidden files.

another thing that i noticed was that these renamed folders are invisible to Windows when you connect your phone via the usb cable. changing the view settings does not show them either.

hope this helps and makes sense.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tb21666:
Yeah, I figured all that out myself last night via trial & error waiting for a reply. Thanks tho! You don't know how much the initial solution has helped not only myself but countless others. Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
Despite every single phone that has came out in the history of cellular phones, not once has a "perfect" phone been created. The logic that people use the majority of the time for holding off on the latest flagship is ALWAYS flawed.

What people need to realize is that its pointless to wait for the next big thing when it comes to cell phones. The features that cell phones have are a matter of designer preference, with input from the population. The problem is that just like anything else, there's going to be a majority, and a minority. The majority get their features, the minority doesn't. People tend to be so hard on these manufacturers for design choices, spec choices, etc., but what they don't understand, you can't please everyone, so why are you expecting them to?

If you are due for an upgrade, and this phone is somewhat appealing to you, just buy it. Spare yourself the months of bitxhing about your current phone while you wait for a new phone. Because I guarantee that when that phone comes out that you think is perfect, a better phone will come out 3-6 months later, and you'll be kicking yourself for jumping the gun.

At the current rate technology is evolving, there is no sense in "waiting around" for a better phone, because there's always going to be a better phone. Get it?

Those who are getting the Note 4, enjoy. You're going to own a powerhouse of a phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
Galaxy note2 was, and is, a perfect phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
Please provide me with facts to back this up? Facts that won't be contested by anyone. I'm waiting. :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] eddhard:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is no way to factually prove an opinion. You can only provide evidence to support your opinion. I tell my wife that I'm the perfect man. I even give her evidence but at the end of the day she points out that everyone is entitled to their opinions. It's just that mine happen to be wrong.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hello00:
yup..the new nexus is coming..next year we will have the s6, g4 and god knows what else
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sprintuser1977:
There is ALWAYS a better tech phone coming soon.

Kicking Deuce on the Beast, Note 3
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
Try the iPhone 7 :laugh:

6s users will be like, wtf, I should have waited :good:

Then the 7s comes, 7 users will be like,"Man! I should have waited!".

It's a never-ending struggle :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hello00:
yup..im getting the note 4 this friday..if the nexus x seems better i will exchange it until another new phone comes out..trying to keep up with the technology :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
I'm rocking a Galaxy Nexus. Just a hunch that the Note 4 is a worthy improvement :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] johnchad14:
I trialed using my galaxy nexus in the interim waiting on Note 4 to arrive (sold off my Note 3 early)....I lasted about 3 days before I decided I couldn't handle that old thing. Definitely time to upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] v2.2v:
Lol absolutely. This phone has the best hardware I've ever used. And no doubt the software will get better. And i hope that comes soon with custom recovery being cooked up. I am getting a significant amount of lag. It's bad. I've wiped once and disabled S-voice yet still it lags 10-20% of the time. Especially when using keyboard ( tested on multiple keyboards) There is no way I'm the only one experiencing this lol if anyone has any tips...Please share with me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hello00:
if u are coming from a nexus, why arent u waiting for the new nexus?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
In my opinion, it's one of the older ones that still runs decently. Most likely due to all the support from Google.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] maksharma231:
True the tech is evolving so much, there is a 'better' phone every 2 months. But that doesn't mean note 4 will be classified as old anytime soon. And by the time it does, i am sure most of the people have already switched/thinking about switching their phone.

And I am gonna upgrade from galaxy ace..so a very big upgrade for me:. Maybe my tab will be left almost unused now :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
I am pretty business oriented nowadays, and I've always liked the old palm pilots. I'm getting this phone for it's display size and stylus..and, because my Gnex only holds a charge for 10-12 hours tops.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] robertc88:
I pretty much agree. If it ain't the camera, it's the battery life, so on and so forth.

Folks have to live with compromise, no way around it. You can wait for the next best one that will upgrade something but you will still live with compromises.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GMAN1722:
yep i agree. the only reason that i am thinking of getting the note 4 (on pre-order as I have until tomorrow to decide) is because of the Samsung promotion. i might as well get value for my htc sensation (current trade in value is $11) and there will come a time when my note 2 becomes non-functional
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Scaven:
You aren't running xposed and are rooted by any chance?

If so install Wanam Exposed and tick the box in the advanced section to fix S-Health, that fixed my lag issues
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jokerier:
Just restored my iphone 5 to factory defaults and got it unlocked from AT&T. Now it's time to list it on eBay and wait impatiently for my note 4 to arrive tomorrow! The whole waiting for a better phone, that's why I did the Next 12 plan with AT&T, cause I just might want a new one in a year.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] starkly_raving:
For me the beauty of our community is that developers keep phones viable far past their intended shelf life. The legendary development of the OG Droid, The DInc, EVo, S2 even the G1 has had a booting JB ROM. Hardware will constantly evolve and so will our development community. :)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] J-man67:
Well said. I agree. I was slightly on the fence with the note 4 after hearing about Shamu. With my happiness in the S3 for 2 yrs, I think I will be very happy with the Note 4. With my business I forsee the larger screen and stylus helping me day-to-day.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] starkly_raving:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Silent25r:
Galaxy note 2 was perfect to me. So was sprints first epic. Specs just don't do it for me. Was hoping for something more. Something closer to the idea of the edge but not so much of a concept device. The edge just looks unfinished. I haven't seen a phone since through note 2 that has really gained my interest.

That being said I am getting the note 4 tomorrow and I will enjoy it. But my guess is it will not be long before the new feel wares off. If the edge was more refined and supported for things like the VR I'd get that one for sure and I would have had a lot more fun with it just because of the change.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slhawkins:
It's never about waiting for a better phone, it's about waiting for when the upgrade is worth getting a new phone. IMO the Note 4 isn't worth the upgrade from a Note 3. There's no doubt it's an all around better phone, but with so many other electronics that need upgrading(my 2nd gen i7 laptop for example), it's not important enough that I make the jump to Note 4.

However, the fact that my wife still has the original Note means she needs a new phone, and she loves my Note 3 so I'll take the Note 4 anyways. ;)

Finally, that logic suggests that when my wife started looking for a new phone 2 months ago I should have just bought another Note 3. But I said "Lets wait for a better phone and see what the Note 4 has in store for us." It's all about timing, not about whether a contract is up or a better phone will come out next year, but rather how soon you need a new phone and what will come out around that time. In fact, if Samsung didn't offer up that $200 I would have gotten the Note 3, just because of the price difference.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Malkozaine:
I think the Note 2, 3, and 4 are amazing phones and don't regret any one of them. Part of me wanted to wait for a 64bit phone to come out but then I realized that it was pointless to wait. Sure 64bit would be great to have but I can wait for next year when the Note 5 has a 64bit chip (be it from Sam, Quala, or Nvidia.) Plus it will take a few years before 64bit if fully used.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] borijess:
The one thing I miss is what the note 1 had. Capacitive buttons. I prefer that over the home button.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoreticaljerk:
So, I'm not sure what the issue is here. I purchased the official Qi charging cover for the S5 and the official Mini Charging Pad.

Every time I try to charge my phone on the pad, it goes for an hour or so then the light starts flashing orange. Charging pad works fine with my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.

Any ideas? I've seen other scattered reports of this on the web but no solutions at all.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonboi:
I'm getting the same issue and I thought it was just poor placement on the mat. But I have tried it placed in different places on the pad, none of which made a difference. I also thought it was possibly the Diztronic cover reducing the efficiency of the charge, so I removed it to charge the phone. Nope, same issue. Using the supplied cable and the 2A Samsung charger supplied with the S5.

The problem comes when I set it away to charge overnight, and I wake up to find there's no full charge (once worried when it only had 36%, not enough for my day).

Every time it fails, the orange indicator flashes on the Samsung charge pad.

It's starting to annoy me
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoitzed:
I use a similar setup - mini charger with sview charging back.

The orange light indicates not enough power getting to the pad - try changing your cable. I'm using a blackberry playbook charger 1.8A - 5 dollars on amazon to power it now and it works fine. I'm about 6 months into it..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoreticaljerk:
I was using the supplied wall wart and cable that came with the Mini Pad. Just took the thing back and bought a Tylt Vu instead. Charges perfect.

Kinda sad that a Samsung Qi pad and a Samsung Qi backplate on a Samsung GS5 doesn't work properly. :eek:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
there is already a thread on the oem cover and charging transmitter, also i have posted within the thread about this problem.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonboi:
I've tried 3 different cables and 2 different 2A chargers. Still have issues.

2 of the cables are Samsung ones (one of which came with the Samsung plate), and the other from my Nexus 7.

Chargers are Samsung's 2A supplied with the S5, and Asus Nexus 5 2A charger.

I've tried searching for this thread, any chance you can link it please?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
orange led means error, flashing green led means less than 2.0a power supply is used, lit green led mean a 2.0a power supply is used.

it's a detection or compatiblity issue with the transmitter and receiver, whether it's oem or 3rd party product used.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinkydong:
Don't waste your time trying to fix the problem. Its an issue with the Samsung mini charging pad. I replaced it with a 3rd party 3-coil charger and all the problems I encountered (charging error, erratic charging performance resulting in constant waking up of the phone, etc) disappeared.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoreticaljerk:
Same here, and the same recommendation from me. The Mini Charger is junk.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:

When replacing my tampered glass today I've noticed markings under the Note 3's glass panel however I couldn't find anything on them online. They are only visible under certain angles of light and in bright conditions some text is also visible on the left side of the phone however I failed to take a good photo of that.

Am I the only one with markings like that? Photos below:

Green - back button

Red - Markings ( Read something like "101A")

i've been breaking my head over this problem for 2 days now, i installed twrp to find out it couldn't make androids because a leftover folder from a deinstalled game prevented it. i tried to remove the folder but failed so i put the phone back to factory settings. now wafter reinstalling everything but the game that prevented it previously it still gives me this error. anyone know how i can get rid of the folder?( see picture)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivasanti:
I cant see how an old folder stops you making backups, it will be an SD card error or a partition error?

You might have to flash back to stock and then bump TWRP again.

I'm also having issues with nfc. When I try to turn it on it stays grayed out and wont turn on.

I've tested every working nightly from RC-1 'till today (16.10.2014), i.e. from 20141006 to 20141016

(could not test nightlies 20140929, 20141001, 20141002, 20141003, 20141004, because they are broken)

and I can confirm that calls are broken on every one of them on my e975.

Only working version for me is RC-1 (20140928),

so bug must have been imported somewhere between broken versions of nightlies, i.e. 20140929 - 20141004

I hope you will fix this soon, until then I'll stick to the RC-1.
