Like many of them said before, if voice call and data access at same time are "must be" for you then go with Note 3. However, when it comes to EVERYTHING ELSE go with Note 4. I could not send video's with Note 3 (unrooted stock), did several master reset and I always had error "file too big" even for 5 seconds video clips. With Note 4 I can send them again, screen is awesome, floating windows are very useful and no more peeling paint of that fake aluminum looking frame. Also keep in mind Note Edge is coming out this month (and samsung project zero just started so S6 should be out in couple of months)

I like my Note 4 and it's best phone I ever owned.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
2 thumbs up! If I had 3 thumbs you'd get that one too! Luv this phone!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ubigred:
Weird that you couldn't send videos.

I tried to swap them last weekend and did another reset but my Note 3 couldn't send them. Does not matter anymore :) Point is if you using upgrade then upgrade to better and that is 4
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ubigred:
I send just fine.

I upgraded to the note 4 from the note 3 because of the peeling edge paint and a cracked screen I got fighting off pit bulls (wish I had an otterbox for a better weapon) , and so far I'm impressed. The screen quality, turbo charging, and camera sealed it for me.

I am going to wait for the 64bit processored N5. That will give android and apps a year to work out the bugs.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] masbirdies:
If you couldn't read from the SD card then most folks music libraries would be rendered useless. Mine reads fine from the SD card!

Excuse my ignorance, what's the point of a 64bit processor?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] stanglifemike:
Note 4 is a HUGE upgrade over the Note 3!! Actually, it's an upgrade to EVERY other phone that's currently available!! Anyone who says it isn't an upgrade is either jealous because they can't get it so they're just making excuses, or they're completely oblivious and shouldn't be saying anything at all! Anyone saying it isn't might as well go ahead and say that no phone successor is, or will ever be, an upgrade over its predecessor.

The Nexus 5 is already available and does not have a 64bit processor. Or were referring to the Note 5 when you said N5? N has always been Nexus devices. The Note series received the abbreviation GN, since N was already taken by Nexus. Example being, when you hear/read N4 you know they're referring to Nexus 4, and not Note 4. When you hear/read GN4 you know they're referring to Note 4....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ubigred:
Pretty sure he's talking about the Note 5.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] stanglifemike:
Yea, I assumed so. I understand that many people here don't follow Android as much as myself, and I'm just trying to get people to realize how Android communities and blogs refer different devices. Before the Note 4 was released it didn't matter as much, but now it's getting confusing (and old) when people use N4 and N5 when they're referring to GN4 and GN5.

Actually, I don't think someone even needs to follow Android very close to know that N4 means Nexus 4, and N5 means Nexus 5. Those are both used by the majority when talking about the latest Nexus phones, and it's just common know at this point.....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kevinrocksman:
Believe it or not even with a 64 bit processor samsung didn't seem to program in 64 bit code. I dug through the camera and found the exynos version and snapdragon one were 99% identical except a few lines of code but nothing was 64 bit written code so it will definatly take a while for them to implement 64 code
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] asim.sidz:
Guys, the Note mobiles are too large to be mobiles phones. Don't you think?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kevinrocksman:
nope, i wish it was bigger. Its called a phablet for a reason
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] asim.sidz:
Note is commonly known as a mobile phone. I rarely heard someone call it a phablet. Just 1.7 inches short of being called a 7 inch tablet. Samsung shoukd straight away start making 7 and 9 inches Note tablets. They are just confusing users by messing around with the thin line between portable mobile phones and tablets. Nobody can use a note with a single hand, isn't it? And still being classified as a mobile phone. Personally, it is uncomfortably large for me. Some might agree with me, some might not.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jadoe05:
Not sure if you are trolling, or are new to Samsung or the mobile market in general. The original Note was the first phone to be called a phablet(not sure if it was the first, but my point is, the term has been used at least since then) Also, you come into a Note4 vs Note3 thread and ask isn't the phone too large? Obviously we don't think so or we wouldn't have had both or thought about having both phones.. Samsung isn't "confusing users" how is that possible when one of the major selling points of this line is the size? And yes I can use my phone with one hand.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] erik077:
I have no problem to use it with one hand (and my hands are not even big), and yes this is my MOBILE PHONE. Your point would stand for Galaxy MEGA but wen it comes to NOTE series you are just wrong... or maybe you got very small hands.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] asim.sidz:
Maybe because i'm coming from smaller mobile phones, so i might be exaggerating something that might be very much desired and/or acceptable by a Note user. Peace!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bmoreboy02:
Ive had this phone for a day and am taking it back and re-activating my M8. I had a note 3 before the m8 and gotta sayvi see no difference in this phone and the note 3. I actually like my m8 better
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] freeza:
No. It's not a HUGE upgrade by any means.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bmoreboy02:
Definitely is not a huge upgrade. Its not a bad idea and i did notice the auto focus on the cameras pretty quick just not worth wasting an upgrade over especially if you have a phone thats been realeased within the last 6 months. Smartphones in my opinion have reached a point where they have so many features idk when well see that next phone that just has that "IT" factor that makes us all have to have it. The last phone that had that effect on me was the galaxy s3.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] nerys71:
Yes it is a huge upgrade. By many means.

BUT

This is an opinion based on the use and desire of specifc functuons and features that are quite important to me specifically.

If those features are not important to YOU then this will not seem like much of an update to you. Ymwv.

For me. The improved screen resolution and VASTLY improved direct sun readability are very large important updates to me

For me the VASTLY improved audio quality is a very large important update to me

For me the ability to auto record all my calls is a critical update to me

And lastly the simply night and day improvement in the camera is an absolutely massive critical update for me.

In fact to me it alone is worth the update.

Ibalso find the heart o2 and uv sensors to be valuable and desirable

Wish they had retained the temp and humidity sensors.

Now if you do not use these features or were satisfied with them in the note 3. Then to you this wont be a worthy update.

A huge update however it absolutely is. Without question.

It is aimply not worth it to you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] erik077:
I won't say that Note 4 is it or not HUGE upgrade but to me is enough good to upgrade

Real metal frame - so good bye fake aluminum peeling

Awesome display (yes, best one on any phone so far)

Camera quality and zoom on it is a lot better

Internet speed on this phone rocks

Fingerprint scanner works great for me

Private mode is nice feature

Multi windows are much better

Yes we did lost some features like calls and data working at same time but how much do we realty use that? Like said before I missed left button click to access "settings menu", now task manager is there (mapping should change this once device is rooted). Also old style settings buttons and sorting was better to me but Android 5.0 will change this anyway.

Last thing I want to mention is price: I pad Note 3 $230 (when regular price was $250 - I had connection) and Note 4 cost me $120 (using best buy $200 card which I got for my Galaxy S2). Definitely good upgrade for me. I had offer to sell Note 3 with all accessories for $600 but I actually gave this for free (to cousin)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Long press for settings isnt that much of a hassle.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kwazytazz:
Isn't everyone missing the most important feature? (At least for me) note 4 is spark enabled...note 3 was not...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Long pressing the left button to access settings menu is an easy thing to do.

My last phone was the GS3. It was an awesome phone but the GN4 is by far a greater device and I am very pleased with it. Ittt's GREAT!

Had the phone for almost a week and im taking it back tuesday and reactivating my HK edition m8. My m8 is way faster then the note 4. This phone has lag to almost every app or function you select. Especially the gallery. My son has my note 3 and uses it as a tablet and when im holding the 2 at the same time i cant tell any difference. I think some people just get so excited when they get a new phone they get there selves really hyped for the phone. Ill take my m8 over this note 4 anyday
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Youre not doing something right. Too many people have superb smoothness with excellent battery life that arent blinded by the "New Phone Factor." A bit insulting.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bmoreboy02:
There are plenty of smooth phones out there with excellent battery life
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Real_JESRadio:
Its not a phone issue its the software. Everybody agrees Touchwiz is horrible. Sense is less taxing on the hardware. A slim AOSP rom on this would be a beast of a phone. It was on my Note 3. Fast as lightning and great bat life. All relative to software.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] MavereXx:
Old post but I must say. This is the most untrue list written by a peasant I've ever seen in my life
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JWnSC:
It's actually mostly true except for the camera part. The camera on the note 3 was good but the note 4 is better. Especially low light. Their both smooth though. If the note 4 had a 1080p display their would be no competition. I like the qhd display on the note 4 better it gets very bright in direct sunlight.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hendav:
Why upgrade to the note 4 when you could upgrade to the note 5, but then I would wait for the note 6, actually the note 7 will probably be the best device yet! I think I'll just wait for the note 8.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Been hittin the hooch?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hendav:
Just teasing the guys that argue its better to wait, the note 4 is definitely better than the note 3 imho. Hooching it up here!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Id have to agree with ya and I definitely condone the hooching.

[Sony Xperia M] zero_11:
Hey I'm new here so sorry if I explain it weirdly and I mistakenly posted this in a different section before

So my xperia M which is now unrooted can't install the 15.4.A.1.9 update it just downloads and reboots and goes to the boot up screen and loads for 2-3 seconds and blacks out and and restarts and it says couldn't install update. How can I fix this?
[Sony Xperia M] RedLedLight:
Try flashing a .ftf file via flashtool :)

Press thanks if I helped! ;)
[Sony Xperia M] Sai Bhasker Raju:
This might me the answer

Hey there!

I think i understood your problem and i have a question to ask you. is your bootloader locked or did u unlocked ur bootloader anytime and didnt lock it back.?

if your bootloader is unlocked , u wont be able to install updates from official Sony Update Center.

I dono if this is the exact reason y ur are unable to do but this happened with my phone too.

I use Sony Xperia M Dual C2004 and i wasnt able to install updates, then i noticed that my bootloader was unlocked then i used Flashtool to lock it back, then i was able to install the updates

Or if u want to install .FTF of your phone manually do it via Flashtool coz its safe

and if you want to get .FTF of your phone directly from Sony use PC Companion as Sony Update Service [SUS] is stopped

Hope it helps :angel::fingers-crossed::good:
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] new-noob:
hi all, same Q like in the title - which ROM (and kernel) can be overclocked in TAB_3_8 ?

currently running custom ROM but as this is only 2-core CPU it is slow,

I'd like to squize a bit from it before considering another tablet, so please advise which ROM do you have overclocked and any advices welcome :)

PS.remember having this TAB overclocked back when Android was 4.2.2 but cant find anything for 4.4.4

THANK YOU!
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
:confused: Can anybody else connect to a WPA2 Enterprise Wi-Fi network? I get "Authentication error" every time despite using the correct settings for the networks. I'm waiting for my current month to get closer to ending before activating my Crystal (don't want to throw away too much $$$), but I doubt it is a factor.

My college uses WPA2 Enterprise for all Wi-Fi networks except for the Open network (and it's a little obvious why Open isn't a good thing...).

I even went to my school's IT department to see if there was anything they could do and weren't able to do anything. They double-checked the settings and used other profiles, and still weren't able to connect.

They say it's a firmware issue since it will connect to the Open network, and I believe them. My current phone is the LG Optimus F3 on Virgin, and it'll successfully connect to the same networks the Crystal won't on the stock firmware (ZV5), but when I update to either the ZV6 or ZV7 firmware I get the same issue: an authentication error.

Thanks.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] piook:
Me too

Have the same issue. Is this a certificate issue? Seems to me i have seen this before on another device and this was the issue.

Thanks,

Phil
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Yoshi99:
I too am having this issue, whenever trying to connect to the secure university website... I cannot access data and have no signal anywhere, any patches?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
I contacted Sharp about it on Friday and got a call back today. The guy called right as I was about to be occupied for the next few hours, so I couldn't troubleshoot and rescheduled for tomorrow.

If it is able to be corrected, I will post the steps to do so.

It might be a certificate issue since my college specifically tells us (students) to uncheck "validate certificates" in the connection wizard when initially trying to connect to the network(s) on our laptops. The IT guy I worked with has a Galaxy S4 or 5, not sure which, with 4.4.2 and he is able to connect to the same networks I cannot.

It might be different for yours...
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
I spoke to the Sharp rep today and the case has been escalated since it is the "first ticket" about this issue.

He tried to walk me through manually adding the wireless network, by the + on the Wi-Fi settings page, and am still not able to connect.

Choosing either the WEP or the WPA/WPA2 PSK Security option removes the ability to add an identity to tell the network who I am, while 802.1x EAP has such option.

I think that is the issue.

I believe I was told that I would get more calls from Sharp about this; and I was given a case number and a direct callback number if I needed to call them (no, I won't share).
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] WhyPaul:
I too am having this issue and am keen on what Sharp has to say about it. While you have them on the phone do you mind asking them about whether or not we have a chance of seeing Lollipop on this device?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
Sure. It appears to be something Sharp would have to push an update for from what I gather with my limited technical Android knowledge and I see no harm in asking. But I make no promises of an answer.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] WhyPaul:
Yeah I assume it'd have to be an OTA update etc etc I'm just hoping it's in their pipeline. I love this phone but I'm running Lollipop on my Nexus 7 and the lil Crystal is getting jealous...
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
It shouldn't be too had for Sharp to get Lollipop to work since KitKat is already very stock. Plus, if Sharp is truly wanting to get back in the smartphone game in the States, they'll probably fix problems with something as important as Wi-Fi and want the latest and greatest version of Android on their current U.S. flagship to make a, material ;) , statement to users .
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Yoshi99:
would someone post a phone number so we all can call and document this problem?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RealiZms:
It's an 844 number. It's listed in the back of the white booklet that came with your crystal. I've called and documented several issues and have a case #. This WiFi issue being one of them.

How many Boost or Virgin phones aside from the Moto G have gotten any update attention at all?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
Update

Called Sharp just now and I am told that a Manager of some sorts is looking at my case and looking for a fix for "[my] particular phone." From the rep.'s recap of the notes the previous rep. left, it appears that the issue with connecting to an Enterprise network was lost in the English-to-English translation and I am apparently having issues connecting to Wi-Fi in general. Trying to clarify that the issue is only with an Enterprise security connection made no effect.

I am curious as to what that Manager or whomever calls will say in the one to two business days I was told I would receive a call-back.

I would not be surprised if there is no official fix... :(
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] RealiZms:
Update:

They pay better attention to you if you hit them up on Facebook. I expect a call tomorrow. Among my issues/questions was an update to Lollipop. So I'll keep everyone posted.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
They called less than an hour ago while I was in class. Like I expected, they assumed I am unable to connect to any Wi-Fi and had to clear that up. Now I'm told I'll get another call in another business day or two.

Forgot about asking about Lollipop. Having more people ask about it should get them in gear to bring it to the Crystal since that shows demand.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
Update

Got a call back from Sharp and they ended up issuing an RMA.

It took 2 business days to get back to me to only have me try to reconnect with a slightly different security option and decide this is an issue that currently can't be fixed...

I already tried what they asked me to do and had the same error I've always had in doing so. Jeez...

Now I'm curious as to what they're going to do with my phone, or if they will fix it somehow.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
I got a new phone from Sharp today and still have the same issue. There goes their "it's a hardware" problem.

I did ask about plans for a Lollipop upgrade in the future and got a stern "No." and that was it.
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] Cbjohns:
We came across an individual with the same device, and they entered a "Connecting...Saved" cycle. It took a couple of days, but we got the device connected to our campus network (Today Actually). We had to manually import the certificate, and select it during the wireless profile configuration. Normally this isn't necessary, and it was only necessary on Nokia Symbian phones and some BlackBerries. Does your university provide a method of manually downloading the wireless certificates - specifically an option for mobile devices (Android/BlackBerry/etc)?
[Sharp Aquos Crystal] MrTriTanium:
I just sent it out again to Sharp yesterday, so when I get it back I will ask my IT department if they will be able to do so.

I don't remember the reason why, but those who attend the same school as I have to manually configure the connection on a computer so certificates are not validated because the school servers don't send out many certificates.

I thought that might be the issue in the first place, but wasn't sure and thought to follow "proper procedures" to find a solution. Also not being able to enter a domain/ID while manually configuring a WPA/WPA2 PSK network on Android seems like a big oversight. I don't know if that's usual for that network but that possibly could have done the trick if it were an option.
