Extremely satisfied as well. Even with such a powerful display and CPU/GPU this phone still manages to maintain some of the best battery life I've seen in years. Samsung really poured there hearts into this device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] J-man67:
As am I

I am VERY impressed and HAPPY. Coming from an S3 that would be at 50% by the time I got to my office at 9:30am. Granted I am up early and our work starts the same. I am handling everything first thing before my trek in. Anyway, yesterday I awoke to a full battery and decided to try it out. GPS, calls, email, normal business day type stuff. I had 12% left by the time I fell asleep. NIIIICE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] segura.org:
Its 2:20pm here and I'm at 62%. My Note 3 would be about 30-40% at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] zanson:
It seems the more I use the phone, the better battery life gets... The only time I have seen a considerable drain is when the screen is above 40-50%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Nitroglycerin:
I'm not that impressed. Don't get me wrong, it's way better than the 4 hours I got on my S4, but I am a seriously heavy user, and I only get about 9 hours before I need to charge. It's largely because my brightness is at 100% but I expected a full day of usage between charges lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] joshklee:
I agree. The more I use the Note 4 the better the battery life "seems" to get. I don't know if it's just settling down or what but it does seem to have improved over the last couple of days.

Bad battery life.

My battery life is about 4 hours on this ROM, with light usage and power saving mode enabled. It's really frustrating. :/ Has anyone else experienced this issue? Or more importantly, fixed it? :D

Here's some information about my phone, in case it helps. I am using Safestrap v3.65 to flash the r104 build of this ROM. My baseband version is MI1 and I flashed Hashcode's MI1 modules after installing the ZIP for Synergy.

Am I doing anything wrong?

guys i have att m7 and im now in IReland and LTE isn't work !

if i applied these Radios should it work again !!

is these Radios changing LTE Bands From AT&T to Europe bands

Iam currently using Three Network
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Vlad83:
It's likely that the LTE bands are different in Ireland than the ATT variant, though I'm not 100% sure.

Software radio updates will not disable or enable these bands as they are expected to work when traveling. So it's likely that it's either a hardware limitation and the bands are not present or it's your mobile service...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisssj2:
So I was on 4.12 with stockplayer android.

Was having the time of my life.

Had 135 songs which I renamed like this:

*usual file name of a soundtrack, like 01 - battle. mp3* or whatever

I added a number and space before the title of the track.

So I would have

1,2,3,4,5,6 etc.

This worked swell on 4.12 with stockplayer.

Now I updated to a different custom rom, with 4.4.4

Going back is no option for me.

The problem is only like 20 songs are detected of my map!

And they are not in the right order! So I don't understand **** why this is happening.

A friend told me it might be ID3 tags or something.

So I ran mp3tag and removed all info and named it under one "artist"

So I could find it easily. This time only 40 songs...

Tried Poweramp but it's even worse there, even more out of order... even if I press order alphabetical A-Z

Im having the GREATEST difficulty to just get this to work.

I don't know how what to do... Im pretty mad now actually cuz this is so important to me.

Is there way to install the old stock player from android 4.12?

Or some other way to EASILY look/search/play what I put in one folder?

Added In depth review by GSMArena.

It's interesting that they mention multiple times that even the LTE version does not have voice calling. They tested the SGP612 wifi version, so maybe they have not confirmed the cellular version does not have phone features.

This video from AppsAndroid.dk shows phone capabilities and their replies in the comments confirm it.

I also saw the Android.dk video just a while ago... How does this calling thing work do I just insert my actual tmobile Sim I use in my phone or do I get the little data Sim they sell and put it in the tablet?
[Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact General] Jgonzo432:
Yes, all you need to do is install your current SIM card (nano-SIM I believe) and it'll act as a phone. That's for the international unlocked Z3TC.

I have a feeling that when it's released in the US it will not have phone features. If that's the one you purchase then a data only SIM is what you'll need.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomasz.jasionka:
Nexus4 + bluetooth +VW Discover Media

attached a screen my version NEXUS4

Dear users, because of my first post here, please be patient and understanding. I have Nexus4 with android 4.4.4. I am a member of VW GOLF 7 of the 2014 years of the factory navigation Discover Media. When paired Nexusa4 the device does not show contact pictures callers does not work as well as full management of your phone. When someone calls me:

1) I want to cropped photo that I have assigned to a contact. The phone shows and the navi not.

2) When you pick up the phone and call is active - the phone automatically switches to a conversation on the phone - it is very important to me.

With hand VW.de downloaded mobile compatibility list with the device (in short what works and what does not) - a bit silly to change the phone only to be fully compatible. The list appears NEXUS NEXUS 4 5 as these features do not work as well as phones from LG. Yesterday I checked the Z3, S5 everything works. So I wrote an email to LG (technical support), and received information that the problem is not with surprisingly device, but the software manufacturer. So the question to you? Who would help me deal with it - maybe I'm not a whiz - but I should cope if anyone of you wanted to instruct me suspect that the problem is in the software ..... Although the Sony Xperia Z3 also has android 4.4 kitkat and the issue is not ...

MODs please bear with us if wrong I posted this post ...

I greet,

Tom
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muchalw:
Hi,

I know, that sooner or later there will be a CM ROM based on Android 5.0 for our n7100. But it will be really nice to see pure AOSP ROM, compiled from sources of 5.0. I don't know, if is it possible, so I'm posting a question about it.

I remember I had i9000 long time ago, and somebody created AOSP 4.0 ROM for it - that was the best, most stable and fastest ROM I've ever used on i9000. Compiled from Google sources, without any add-ons. Hope to see Android 5.0 AOSP for n7100 sometime...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Zealex:
Hey,

Before I begin my question, I have a quick one. The notification history "trick" isn't possible on my m8, so by any chance when you guys got your phones do you recall the early notifications? I accidentally dismissed all notifications and it was something about "you have 89 days to activate..." and something random. Just asking if I'm missing anything important for my Verizon m8.

The real question is if I should keep my m8. I also have a keen interest in the s5, but chose the m8 because it's cheaper and seems to be actually recommended more. Sense is a nice upgrade over the s3, and I'm under the impression m8 is easier to unlock the bootloader and root than the vzw s5? I am planning to root and mess around with my phone.. hey, that's why I love android! I'm very big into music and the m8 is supposed to deliver better audio quality but the headphones I'm using....the audio sounds very bassy and I have turned boom sound off. I listen to metal, rock and alternative and I can hear an inferior difference from my s3 so I was wondering if there was a fix to this? I've made some phone calls, and I'm not too sure if the quality of those were great - very distorted, perhaps connection? The screen is nice, and I'm told it's more natural and accurate in terms of color quality than the s5's OLED which produces oversaturated colors, is this true? I don't care much for the camera because serious photography is done with my DSLR.

TL;DR - I like audio quality (music, phone), functionality and modding. Is the m8 better over than s5?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] CheateR92:
Just root the phone, install CleanROM after that Harman kardon and you will be fine :) I used to have S3 also but the M8 is the best phone I had. No S5 or 5S and now 6. Smooth experience with a lot customizations. I really like the Sense 6 so I stay close to stock ROMs. The only thing that can be improved for the moment is the camera but when you don't care and have DSLR you are perfectly fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] holla420:
Keep ur M8. The s5 is laggy and just looks dull. I had the S4 and I was gonna get the s5 but I'm glad I didn't.

I might keep the m8. It's just annoying when all the flagship android phones are literally neck and neck...it's very hard to make a decision, nowhere as easy as choosing android over iOS!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Shamestick:
For everything you've said you want, keep the m8. We've got s-off and unlocked boot loader, from a modding perspective there ain't nothing better. What firmware are you on? And if I recall correctly the notification that you swiped away was saying you have 89 says to activate Verizon visual voicemail

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
I cannot find anywhere information documenting how many microphones there will be on the Nexus 6.

The New 2014 Moto X is said to have 4 microphones, this is usually advertised as something further to entice consumers ( better noise cancelling) and better clarity on speakerphone calls.

but nowhere is it listed how many microphones the Nexus 6 has. It's been omitted from the spec sheet on the official website http://google.com/nexus/6

Anybody know?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peacey8:
It will have a number of microphone(s) between 1 and 4.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elpeterson:
At least two. The bottom speaker is a mic and speaker. Top speaker is a ear piece and speaker and in the back (more noticeable on the white version) is an additional mic.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Yes, I'm really interested in this question also.

Noise cancellation on Nexus devices has been very poor, since the Nexus One, which had great noise cancellation.

The Nexus One was one of the first phones to use the Audience noise cancelling chip, which is the best noise cancelling solution in the industry. It really amazed people at the time and got a fair amount of press. I remember being in calls on my Nexus One in a noisy bars and having people think I was at home. It was great.

After the Nexus One brought attention to this feature, the iPhone 4 copied it (and also got some good press for it). Bizarrely, with the Nexus S Google dropped active noise cancellation altogether. It totally sucked. The Galaxy Nexus has some sort of active noise cancellation, but it wasn't very good. The Nexus 4 uses Qualcomm's Fluence noise cancellation, which has become the most commonly used noise cancellation solution, I assume because it's included with the Snapdragon chipset and cheaper for manufacturers to use. But Qualcomm's Fluence is really nowhere near as good as the Audience chip. The Nexus 5 also uses Fluence and for some reason does some weird things, like cutting in and out too soon, and cutting off your voice for you caller--so it's not even as good as the Nexus 4.

So for noise cancellation, the Nexus line has the strange lineage of starting out at the top, plummeting to the bottom, and then waffling around in a mediocre middle ever after.

Strangely, even Apple dropped the Audience chip in the iPhone 5, for an inhouse solution that's even worse than Qualcomm's Fluence. HTC used to use Audience in the One X, but dropped it in the One. LG used it in the G2, but dropped it in the G3 for Fluence. Only Samsung has consistently put it in their flagship phones.

Now along comes the 2nd Gen Moto X, which as the OP notes, uses four microphone noise cancellation. As far as I'm aware, it's the first phone with four microphones. Audience has a three microphone technology (Qualcomm might too), but only a couple handsets have ever used it. Motorola uses it's own CrystalTalk noise cancellation. In previous phones, CrystalTalk was okay but not even as good as Qualcomm's Fluence. But there have been good anecdotal reports about the noise cancellation on the 2nd Gen Moto X being a big step forward from the 1st Gen Moto X. I have yet to see a good objective test of it or to try it myself.

So of course, since the Nexus 6 is based on the 2nd Gen Moto X, the idea that it might get the four microphone noise cancellation is enticing.

On the other hand, why aren't they promoting this feature if it's there?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0.0:
the only article I found is this, but it may not be credible: http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/10/phone-comparisons-nexus-6-vs-motorola-moto-x-2014.html

if you look at a Moto X and a Nexus 6, there is something that the Moto X has that the n6 doesn't have: a hole near the top on the back of the device. so it may be that the n6 may not have 4 mics. the max amount may be 3. that's only based on my observation

[IMG="Moto X 2014 back"]http://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/entry_photo_images/10660830/DSC_7180-2040_verge_super_wide.jpg[/IMG]

also, the dynamic tuning for better reception not being the the n6 is possible, since the n6 is so large, it probably could fit the antenna somewhere. the metal band could be just for looks. but I find it unlikely that the metal band is only for looks, but rather it has a function
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartanm99:
For the huge price increase for the Nexus 6 and the fact that the excuse for this was because the Nexus 6 is now "premium" I would expect it to have 'premium' specifications.

e.g. - HD or QHD screen [TBA - but how vivid it is remains to be seen...likely the same as the Note 3 though, so potential fail]

- 3gb RAM+ [check]

- 64gb storage [check]

- Build quality: premium [check]

- Microphones (4) [TBA - for the size, it should have 4, especially if the smaller Moto which it is based has 4]

- Big battery [check]

- Dual flash [check]

- Front camera HQ [TBA: the HTC One M8 has a 5megapixel front shooter...why not this? At least have 4mp)

- Design: slim? [fail: the phone could at least be a LITTLE slimmer...1+cm is fat for this day and age]

- Rear camera with OIS and smaller than 1/3 [half-check: it has OIS, but the size is still 1/3...should be at least 1/2.5 for the size of this phone]

I think the Nexus 6 should have a better screen, better rear camera (1/2.5 or better at least), 4 mics, be slimmer and have a bigger front camera to really earn the title of 'premium'. I would happy pay the asking price or even $50 more for the added extras. If the Note 4 can have what it has (including stylus) for about $100 more...the Nexus can have all that plus some. They are still earning huge profits on each device sold, why not actually make it the undisputed king of premium instead of "this phone is premium but there are some questions..".
