[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowoak:
Trying to figure out if the at&t version will work 100%,no drops, on t-mobile network.

I saw a couple post saying that the tmobile version works on at&t and that the 2 version are almost identical *source needed*. But nothing yet saying it works the other way

Reason is I have a bunch of reward certificates and a gift card for Best Buy, I know the att version is a little more expensive $825 vs $770, but i have enough to offset the difference and still make it cheaper.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pham818:
Why would you want the att version lol, cost more

No original box

No headphones

No download booster

No unlocked boot loader
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red_stripe05:
I have the same question about whether or not the AT&T Note 4 will work perfectly the same as a T-mobile version on the T-mobile network. I don't know why no one has mentioned how much cheaper it is to just go set up a new AT&T account to get the discount at Best Buy. You could buy it for $300 minus the $200 trade-in promotion + $70 in sales tax. So $170, then you have $40 activation + $60 for one month service + $350 ETF after 15 days, then get it unlocked. So the total out of pocket cost for the AT&T version is $620. Why would you buy the $750 T-mobile version, which would be $815 after sales tax. You save nearly $200 after all is said and done. Am I missing anything here? I haven't seen a single person mention doing this on this forum or over at androidcentral.

You are missing that you have to return the Note 4 to the manufacturer. See http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/returnpolicy.html#fbid=qD17b06g8-s

What does have to do with anything? Ive been lurking around xda since the 1st iphone came out

Well as I said I have a bunch of money in best buy that it would make it cheaper. But, after looking around the att version forum, found out that the bootloader is locked. So im just going to buy one straight from t-mobile, once they get more in-stock
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red_stripe05:
So what if its my first post? I've used these forums for years as a lurker getting info on rooting, starting with my Sprint Epic Touch 4G. I've read all the posts I can on the Note 4, and seriously just wondered why no one discusses starting a new contract to get the phone at such a steep discount. I'm not trolling anyone, although there seems to be way more uneducated/uninformed people on here than usual.

---------- Post added at 02:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 AM ----------

After 15 days into a new contract with AT&T, if you want to cancel your service, you do NOT have to return the phone. To fulfill your contractual obligations, you pay the ETF. That seems to be it. You are stuck with the phone after 15 days if anything goes wrong, and yes, you would have to send it to the manufacturer for any warranty claims. But wouldn't that be the same case if you bought it without insurance anyways?

Back to the original question though, does anyone know of any issues with using the AT&T version on T-mobile once its been unlocked by AT&T? It has band 12 support, but could T-mobile pull some sort of throttling BS for it being an AT&T imei?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btort1:
It's NOT the t mobile version of the phone, it's their service for some reason.

I get REALLY slow speeds on my t mobile note 4, but when I used an AT&T sim card, LTE was really fast and no PROBLEMS. I can't believe anyone would even consider a NOTE 4 AT&T version....unless they like that $300+ 2 year contract deal.

ive flashed gnabo rom v6.5 into my note n8000 everything working fine until now the only problem is snote that not importing pdf files larger than 160 - 180 pages . i need the app more than any other apps so anyone can help me with this problem or someone have the same problem ????
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
:crying: <----- isn't that just a little overly dramatic ?

dude, pdf's get real expensive real fast especially on a tab. you could try using an app that will allow you

to disable auto-runs in order to free up more ram to try and improve your performance.

there is alot of crap in every app that suck your ram up like a vampire.

especially google apps, and reporting/usage statistics/analysis, debug/bug reporting, push messaging, developer guilt trippy

data harvesting etc.

clip that stuff till you need it to run. and as far as finding the best approach to do so, research it.

I want to use PPTP vpn connection to my work together with Remote Desktop (Teminal Service) application.

The PPTP vpn connection is established successfully.

From my work PC I can ping the pptp ip address of my PPC.

However if I switch to an application which would generate internet traffic (such as terminal services, internet explorer) my PPTP connection drops.

On my vpn server I get the logs and see the disconnect reason as "user requested)

What is the problem ?

Thanks...

I have the same problem when trying to use Skype. My office also requires the use of a VPN (PPTP) when connecting via the wifi.

Skype connects, I can make calls, but the connection is dropped after 30s (the VPN is closed). Oddly enough, it I have the impression I prevent the VPN connection from dropping by using Pocket Internet Explorer at the same time (I have tried creating a website that automatically refreshes every 10s, but this didn't keep the VPN open). The Messaging client als shows odd VPN behaviour: it always closes the VPN, and opens it every time send/receive is selected.

I suspect not all programs keep the VPN open, even despite the fact that those programs are generating traffic over the connection.

Any hints or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
(sorry, I can't edit posts in Opera Mini)

MarsRover: I have changed the AlwaysOn registry setting in the registry (in the folder of my work vpn). Ii appears to have changed the Messaging behaviour (but I need further testing to be sure). Tomorrow I'll see if it changed the Skype connection.

Thanks for the suggestion, if it works it ought to be put in the FAQ.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrmrmrmr:
Hi,

MarsRover,

I couldn't understand the solution. Can you explain ?

My situation is :

I am using Wifi connection to access internet. This connection is selected as my internet connection.

My pptp vpn connection is set under my Work connection.

So when I use the pptp connection I connect to Work over Internet.

But then it gets dropped if I open internet explorer.

If I set "*/*" to my intranet addresses, I have to connect to everywhere over my VPN connection. This is not good because I don't want to use VPN connection for Web browsing etc.

There must be another way ? Don't you think so ?

Btw, if I set AlwaysOn to "1" in registry , and then check it back after a connection is made, I see it is "0" again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sebjepb:
Hi

You do not have to redirect all traffic through the VPN you can pick and choose under settings>connections>advanced>exceptions just add the urls you need. ie so instead of */* use the specfic range ie 10.0.0.*/* or whatever range your work uses. One more issue however if the wirless ip range overlaps the internal VPN work range you may still have isssues. ie if your wireless ip address range is 10.0.0.x and your vpn range is 10.0.0.x then even if you add 10.0.0.*/* in the exceptions it may still try the wireless link rather than the vpn link for your TS etc. If you get my drift. There is a discussion on this here:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrmrmrmr:
Thank you Stephen.

In fact, I am aware of how the exception list works. I can add the IP addresses which I want to reach via work vpn.

However, I still wish that there was a way to use VPN connection manually without using an exception list.

Isn't this possible ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MarsRover:
This is good for me because I DO WANT to use VPN for all network access.

It happens if you use settings->connections to view/change settings

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emre.bag:
Hi

I bought and disassembled a nexus 7 recently for a design project I am developing.

I was hoping to play around with the position of the front camera (an inch or so). I knew the flex cable was short but I thought finding an extension cable would be easy.

Turns out it isn't.

I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if there are extensions cables available for the camera connector used in nexus 7?

I found MANY "test cables" for iPhones but unfortunately they use a different connector, and other suggestions I find online all involve the use of microscopic soldering skills (which I don't posses)

Any input would be appreciated

Here's a photo of the connector

If it's just to write/draw something quickly, I would say the spen is fine. If it's something taking significant time, then you may want something larger.

I personally have not tried anything other than the spen. I've seen pics and read posts where people modified old pens to hold the spen instead of buying a second stylus pen
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] skrubol:
Are the old note pens compatible with the N4?

I have the Bamboo Feel (non-note) and it's definitely a much nicer feeling pen (with a much more usable button,) than the S-pen. I've only used it on my Surface Pro though.

Note 4 has slightly sharper images (likely the 3mp extra coming into account)

Nexus 6 has better low light images and flash

Nexus 6 has the better software (surprising no one at all)

[Nexus 6  General] msal:
The phone in the video is not the final version.

I also noticed that the video states the nexus 6 to have an LCD display while it has an AMOLED display. It's most likely a preproduction unit or something.

[Nexus 6  General] v3ngence:

What's really disappointing is that the Note 4 has more vibrant and saturated colors and a much brighter screen. Hopefully the final release will have a brighter screen.
[Nexus 6  General] DiNoise:
It clearly shows on the Nexus page that it will not have preproduction dimple
[Nexus 6  General] mk92595:
Samsung over-saturates their screens so the N6 will not have that. I prefer the Sammy screen but w/e
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Yeah I also prefer Samsung's displays. I understand the saturation levels, but why is the Note 4 so much more bright?
[Nexus 6  General] elementaldragon:
Could be something as simple as different ambient light sensor settings. Samsung may have it designed to crank the brightness up higher than it really would need to be? Who knows.

Also have to take into account the angles at which he was holding the phones. When he's holding them both up in front of him while the video is playing, they seem to be angled slightly towards each other... and the Nexus 6 seems to be getting a lot more glare. When you see him browsing the settings menu, the brightness difference is much less prominent.
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
The Note 4 has a basic color setting (in addition to typical AMOLED saturations), which works so well,

it is the most accurate smartphone display ever made.

I highly anticipate Samsung didn't give the N6 access to their latest and greatest AMOLED technology like they did their own flagship - enough said until official reviews post.

Both devices are at 100% manual brightness when on the home screen and settings pages (unsure on video, but likely the same). Do remember that on auto brightness, the Note 4 can actually go up another 140~ nits as part of an outdoor boost mode. The Note also has adaptive display color modes (likely enabled by default here) to saturate colors to increase contrast in sunlight, in addition to their less reflective glass panel. Samsung got it right from how it looks so far. Perplexed as to why they'd do an outside video though with a crappy camera.

[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Well this is going to suck then lol. That means the Nexus 5 display will be similar to that of the S4.

Probably more likely it's the Note 3 technology.

Moto X = S4 technology - same brightness, released 12 months later

Nexus 6 = Note 3 technology, released 12 months later
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
SO you think that only Samsung Produce AMOLED panels ?

AU Optronics also make AMOLED displays, also I can't imagine Moto asking Samsung for the display in the first place as Im sure Samsung would stitch them up something rotten.

Regardless of who makes the panel its mor eof the fact that google have a 6" because this is all it is about who can make the best Phablet.

As long as the Battery can handle the screen i can't see why it wont sell in droves to the Phablet market over the note if the price is right, if its too close to the Samsung people will just buy the Samsung and not compromise.

The note 4 retails here between £550 and £600, so the Nexus 6 is going to have to respond to that !

so unless the lowest model of the N6 is around £450 i can't really see areason not to go with Sammys offerings and just ditch Touchwhizz when you get root and flash Stock.
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
Dont forget with a nexus we can change the screen color with custom kernels.If you want more contrast, add it! At least this is how i remember it on my galaxy nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
If that's the case, it shouldn't be bad by any means... just not as good efficiency or accuracy wise as the new displays.

Perhaps not only Samsung, but I'm sure they're the best. They have plenty of money and invented the technology...

The N6 may be 6", but for the average user they are losing that additional screen space to buttons. And the S-Pen is something that puts the Note a whole league ahead of the N6. Size isn't everything, especially when you hit the phablet sector. All these phones are big, so what else do they have to offer?

Don't get me wrong, I've been a Nexus user for years and just recently got the G3 to try it out (big mistake). I want the N6 to be amazing and win me over, but I feel like I'm going to be somewhat let down compared to other flagships yet again which is a big deal considering the price isn't any different now.

True, but how well the display was built is still a factor. And you can't increase brightness or fix viewing angles

[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
In your Case if your G3 is your Daily Driver i don't think the Nexus 6 will be disappointing as you have no L preview to flash and get used to Lollipop, the G3 is a solid device bar the OS skin which is so cluttered.

The best thing about the Nexus 6 will be the Build quality, the N5 is so soft and has finally succomed to light dinks out of the plastic and cracking between the plastic around the side volume / power and sim.
[Nexus 6  General] Nitemare3219:
I thought the back of the Nexus 6 was soft plastic again? Either way the phone is gorgeous. I'm not sure how much I like the front of it though.. reminds me a lot of the Nexus 4.

My G3 has a great camera, and amazing display. It could be brighter, and a little warmer for color accuracy, but it is IPS and I love it. The problem with the G3 isn't within cluttered OS (I find it to be pretty close to stock Android), but with lag, build quality, probable lack of dev, and bugs.

The 801 cannot handle this device, plain and simple - at least in terms of Nexus speed. It also overheats when things get crazy. The phone looks great, don't get me wrong. But the casing has reportedly cracked at ports because it is still plastic (must be crap plastic at that). I do love the front design of the phone (back is whatever because it's always been in a case), especially in white. The T-Mobile boot loader has been open since day 1, and development is still dead. ATT just got theirs unlocked, but I feel like the device just isn't going to take off at this point. Reception has been a pain where I'm currently located, WiFi drops and hesitates to reconnect all too frequently, WiFi calling messes up, WiFi hotspots are broken without apps, and int'l roaming didn't work out of the box to name a few issues. LG software support is crap, so I have no hope for this device.

But then you might say - it's Android, who cares about bad software? Well, with a lack of dev, that is still a problem. Secondly, I used to be a flashaholic. I've had Android since the G1 debuted in 2008. But I've grown out of constantly flashing, updating, tinkering... I'll do a few things here or there, but I kept my Nexus 5 stock (rooted w/ recovery though) the entire time I've had it (still do). I did a few modifications, but that's it. I change phones every year or so because I haven't had one that just blew me away and made me feel like I could keep it for awhile, without needing to try a million different ROMs either. The Note 4 or Nexus 6 could be that device I actually keep more than a year IF they deliver the whole package. Displays and cameras are finally getting where they need to be, and if the hardware and software can make the phone blazing fast, I have everything I need.
