Looking forward to some Sweet Sweet ROMs!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not-i:
What version have you got / getting? Exynos or Snapdragon? Australia getting SD but I don't think I can wait and may get the N910U exynos version
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghawyhob:
Go for exynos pls i heared its better than sd in performance and gaming but it will have little roms developing
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iznee:
I truely hope note-i will get the exynos version. Sweet rom on note 3 is still the best

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
New Zealand got the Exynos versions.

Haven't they launched in Aussie yet?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not-i:
If I can find an online store that has the exynos N910U in stock for immediate delivery I would buy it right now. If I can't I will just wait for sd aussie N910G version.

Just cracked my note 3 screen so want a new one asap
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not-i:
Na mate Aussie getting snapdragon N910G model but it's been delayed. Not shipping out till mid November. Anyway I could get a NZ version online? Links?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
Noel Leeming and Warehouse Stationery over here have stock online, but I guess you'd need to use a re-shipper to get it to Aus. Any services over there you could use?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] not-i:
I've ordered one, should have it Monday or Tuesday :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay-Taicho:
Sweet! Good to see your ROM up to.

Would be nice if a s5 rom was ported to the Note 4 the features on the s5 compared to this is unbelievable...The Note 4 has all the smart scroll,finger view etc in hidden setting but don't work even when turned on so maybe an s5 style rom might bring the load of missing stuff back...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berend de Boer:
Hi All,

Have lots of stutter playing a video over my local WIFI. Video is 6Mbps (720p). When copied to external SD card and played from there, it's smooth. So I'm pretty sure this indicates my hardware and MX Player is all fine. I'm using the KitKatt 4.4.4. ROM.

Things change though when I play this through BubbleUPNP (source is minidlna on FreeBSD). No transcoding should take place. Then I get lots of stutters. Have also tried to play this by using File Manager HD, connect with sftp and open the video directly. Probably plays slightly worse.

Does not seem to be a CPU issue, I watched this with top, load tends to stay around 0.7, sometimes getting up above 1, but can't find much relation to stutter. CPU is around 23-40%, with 60% idle.

You would say this indicates a network performance issue. Have the tablet is within a few metres of the Netgear R6300 route I have, and distance doesn't seem to matter too much. When using a tool like Speedtest.net I hit 17Mbps over my ADSL network, so WIFI doesn't seem a limiting factor. I've even tried iperf, I get 19-33Mbps when doing that (so from tablet to my minidlna server).

I tried copying the file with File Manager HD to my external SD card, but felt slow, i.e. perhaps even less then 1MB/s. But that could be File Manager HD or the write speed to my SD card, not sure.

Other things I've tried: different player, doesn't make any difference.

I'm grateful for any suggestions people may have. Playing a 720p video over a DLNA network shouldn't be this much trouble.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berend de Boer:
Some more observations: on an old laptop, link speed 54Mb/s, I have an iperf value of 34.6Mbits/s. If I do an rsync of a 1GB file I get 2.88MB/s, so quite respectable values.

Have installed "WiFi Speed Test" on my TF300T and get 21.91Mbit/s with the tcp client test (download), which is quite respectable, and perfectly in line with other tests (AnandTech for example). However, when I do the smb client test, I get between 5Mb/s to 6.5MB/s.

Using rsync, if I download the same large file as with the laptop using rsync, I get about 1.67MB/s.

So clearly I have an issue with this tablet or ROM, not with my wifi network it seems.

Keen to hear "WiFi Speed Test" values from anynone, especially SMB/FTP values. The problem doesn't appear to be with simplistic tests (iperf), but any more complex network protocol is a lot slower. But having said that, 1.6MB/s should be enough to play 6Mbps video, but possibly the rate may not be sustained enough. Continuing the investigation.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timduru:
If on your link you only get 5Mb/s to 6.5MB/s. on the smb test , it's kinda expected that your 720P / 6Mbs video will stutter, especially if it's variable bitrate or when the network fluctuate.

smb protocol has a lot of ovverhead and tends to behave badly on wifi / latency so you get less throughoutput on smb than rsync or a direct tcp test

If you don't need transcoding, you will be better to mount the smb share natively (use something like cifs manager for example) and play it directly from there.

Playing a video through the file manager's sftp or smb own libs is less efficient and will tend to give stutters every now and then as its process goes in background while the video is played in foreground.

As for stats: on a 65 Mb/s wifi link I get the following on my TF300T:

tcp client: 43.6 Mb/s

rsync: ~17Mb/s

native smb: ~12Mb/s

wifi speed test smb: ~8Mb/s

file HD manager smb: ~5Mb/s
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berend de Boer:
Yeah, that's twice of what I get, so all your numbers are double of mine. Maybe it's my Netgear router?? I'll test against a different WiFi router.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berend de Boer:
On a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 I get 26 Mbps - 47 Mbps. Considerable fluctuation.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berend de Boer:
I have now tested the tablet against another R6300, no nearby wifi, performance worse then I have at home, and at a company wifi network, also not so good.

I then replaced the firmware with the latest DD-WRT, nothing much seemed to change.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berend de Boer:
I have no wireless security enabled on my network as all clients use openvpn. I then switched to using WPA2+AES, and turned off openvpn. Suddenly I started to see numbers much more similar to Tim's.

Obviously I had tested with and without openvpn against stock firmware, but that didn't seem to make much of a difference. And the fluctuation was always considerable. But with DD-WRT it seems to make quite a difference. Hit 40Mbs with wifi speed test tcp client pretty regularly.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berend de Boer:
However, it didn't make any difference with playing the video! But thanks to DD-WRT I now have graphs for bandwidth monitoring. What I saw was spikes of 40-60 Mbps for several seconds, then nothing for several seconds, then it spiked again. What it seems to me is that the MX Player, or more likely BubbleUPnP client, has problems prefetching the content. It simply doesn't do it consistently enough at 6Mbps, causing stuttering, because when the buffer is empty, it can't fill it fast enough for a second or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
Using null rom or stock android doesn't work correctly with my note 4. Here are my issues.

1. Text notification doesn't clear on my watch even though I've already viewed them on my phone.

2. I set up a pattern lock via gear manger setting and it no longer auto unlock when the watch is near my phone.

So far those are the 2 I've noticed.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasW:
I'm on stock Android (NA6) with the Note 4 and haven't had problems clearing text notifications.

The problem I do have, however, is that Gear Manager hides the third-party apps I've sideloaded to the Gear as soon as it connects.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
Thanks for the info. So you dont have any of the above issues I mentioned? But I think if I go stock I might as well go tizen. I'm gonna miss the 60 seconds recording on Null rom though. I use it a lot. How come you haven't ugpraded to Tizen if you're running stock anyway?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] JasW:
No, I haven't had any problem with removing the notifications, though I can't speak to the pattern lock issue because I've never used the lock feature. After way too much time spent trying to figure out what was going on with my issue, I finally had enough of the time sink and upgraded to Tizen just an hour or so ago. I had been holding out on that move because I'd been undecided about whether to get the Nexus 6 or the Note 4, and wanted to keep the option of (somehow) using it with the Nexus. Now that I've chosen the Note 4 and sold my soul to Samsung for another year, though, there was really no reason not to upgrade, save for losing the ability to sideload Android apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
I have problem 2 and its driving me nuts.

Whats the longest recording time on Tizen ? I hate the 15 second restriction.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
Thanks. Good to know I'm not the only one. 15 seconds is the limit on stock and Tizen. Thats why I'm still on Null.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
I sideloaded apps too but I find I dont use them as much anymore so I don't mind losing that feature. Might just do tizen for now and lose 60 second recording.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
Can you report back if that works ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mherald81:
I'm having issues with the pedometer syncing with S Health on my Note 4....
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hjertis:
This doesn't sound very good. Hope my Gear will play better with the Note4 when it arrives...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
Any update by OP ? Rooted my note 4 as well same stupid issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
Haven't done anything yet. But it seemed to have fixed the notification thing. Sometimes it just takes a while but when I view the text on my phone, it eventually goes away now on my watch. I did upgrade to Null 23 since I was only on null 21. But I can't get myself to upgrade to Tizen. I want to keep my 60 seconds recording. I still have the unlock via gear issue and have just disabled locking on it completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] xManMythLegend:
In the meantime you may wanna try the xposed module "no lock home" it will stop lockscreen around trusted access points and BT devices. Just tried it if it doesnt work Ill update.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
I would but I'm not rooted. Thanks for the tip. Maybe I will try it when I decide to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] zelduy:
guys.. I just updated my gear into tizen..

and when I paired it with Note 4 there's no Runtastic pro apps nor Runkeeper in the Samsung gear Apps...

tried with my Note 3 and I can found the Runtastic Pro there... backed the apk up and pushed it to Note 4 and failed..

this is driving me insane.. is there anyway I can install those apps in the Gear Tizen?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
Maybe try this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-gear/general/runtastic-finally-tizen-t2863431
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
So I just bought a Gear 2 and it also has issue #2 where the phone won't unlock if the Gear 2 is near it. This seems to be an issue with the note 4. Hopefully it can be fixed via software.

UPDATE: I uninstalled GM and reinstalled it again but downloaded from Samung app store. Also once connected, I had GM reset the gear instead of restoring. It also did do 2 small software updates during connection setup. I'm not sure which made the difference but the gear 2 is unlocking the phone ok now.

Just for the heck of it, I then unpaired the gear 2 and repaired my gear 1. It didn't ask for me to restore or reset and it just did the 6 digit confirmation code. It did the 4 small updates during connection setup. After connection, I checked and auto lock was still set in GM setting for the Gear 1 as well as all other settings being unchaged. And now it works! WTH. I tried moving the gear away and it locked. Moved closed and it auto unlocked. Also works if I power down the gear and power it back up. I've tried uninstalling GM so many times before and let it reset my gear1 but that didn't do anything. Maybe the gear 2 triggered something in the phone for it to work right? I have no idea. But I'm glad it's working now. Now I just need to decide which I want to keep. But I'm probably leaning towards the gear 1 with null 2.

UPDATE 2: Restarted the phone and issue came back.

UPDATE 3: So if I walk away and come back near the phone it works 1 time. I will try it with the gear 2 and see if I have the same issue. I didn't restart the phone when I had it connected to the gear 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
This thread's kind of surprising to me. I had a

ton

of problems with my Note 3 and Gear that all went away with the Note 4. Everything just works - auto unlock, BT connect/re-connect, Gear Manager. When I was having problems with the Note 3 I installed the Canadian ROM (vs. U.S.) on my Gear and just stayed with it even though it didn't help anything. Its method of rebooting or recovering is easier to use than the U.S. version. Maybe there's something in the Gear's U.S. ROM causing it to misbehave? The only downside between Note 3/4 is that a bunch of apps I previously had installed don't show up any more either in my "purchased" apps or in the Gear App Store. Why Samsung keeps playing with what apps are available based on host device is beyond me.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aznmode:
Hey Barry whats up. Thanks for the input. That's interesting as I'm the complete opposite with the gear and note 3. But I am using null rom so I'm not sure if that makes a difference from the US version. Did you go back to US rom and which version?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
Nope. I'm on the Canadian ROM. Can you look in the Gear App Store with a U.S. ROM'd Gear and see if Direct or PayPal are in there? I don't think the Gear's region restricts app but it would be nice to know for sure.

I decided to replace the 512 MB card in my Cingular 8525 with a 2 GB card. When I put the 512 card in its adaptor, the PC read the directory, showed a FAT format, but would not copy/read/or otherwise manipulate any of the files. I plugged the card back into the 8525 and found that it couldn't even see it. Giving up on any kind of file recovery, I tried to reformat it in the PC, but then IT couldn't detect the card! After I played with it awhile, I finally got it to start the format process, but it always failed just before the "green line got to the end" and, after several attempts, it reported "disk cannot be formatted."

Is there any way I can save this card, or is it a (VERY small) boat anchor?
[General Accessories] kecido:
I've seen yesterday in the Sandisk site and somebody told me that they have some kind of software tool (file recover, unformat, etc.), that's very capable, unfortunately it is not free, there's a trial version (does not allow to save any files). Sofware's name is "Rescue Pro", if you can get yourself a copy you might give it a try.

Another thing about an SD (in my experience), I'm talking about a Verbatim 512MB SD, i borrow it to a friend, when he was giving it back, just cancelled all his things up, stopped the card reader (from XP), extracted the SD and it was dead, fortunately I had kept my proof of purchase and they (Verbatim) exchanged it with a new one (in europe the warranty is at least 2 year long), they asked me to send it to Ireland to check if it could be recovered and within three weeks (just because there was christmas in the middle) I got a new one back.

hope this helps

Try putting it in a Digital Camera with SD Slot (put in SD Adapter first;-))

Then format it via your Digital Camera

Or

Download VaioSoft Recovery Manager and try to format with that one

[General Accessories] losborn:
Thanks for all of the input! I tried formating it with my camera with no success, then took the easy way out: I took it back where I bought it and got it replaced. :D

I'm filing this information away for next time, though! Thanks again.
[General Accessories] kecido:
SD cards where made to improve the lack of speed of MMC cards, also they include the writing protection/lock, it is the small switch you see in one side of the SD.

Also, SD cards are slightly different from MMCs phisically, SDs are thicker than MMCs (that's why you cannot put them in a Nokia phone), the electrical specs should by backwards compatible (aside from phisycal differences).

Recently some updatings/improvements have been done to MMC specs, they claim to be the fastest memory card technology available, there are MMC plus, etc.

I know all these things that I read recently (I just can't remember where).

hope this info can be used, and one last thing is that information on this subject can be found easily on the net, it's juest a matter of look for it, personally I like a lot an electronics web site: www.epanorama.net

Memory card fixes

Guys

We've seen this issue quite a bit lately.. Memory card simply locks up Windows when inserted.. It seems to be related to a flakey FAT table on the card. Formatting does nothing... Disk manager can't deal with it either..

The solution we found that worked was to use Paragon Partition Tools to remove the partition table on the card.. Recreate it.. then reformat..

Unless the card is physically cactus, it works every time..

Good luck!

Good for you. But I'm still getting headache as I can't contact the manufacturer.

I had formatted the micro SD card in ext4 format for using with app2SD. I had it in 2 partitions.

And then after a while, the card stopped functioning (with so little and useless 30MB storage).

I had tried things like recovery, formatting, partition recovery.

Nothing can return it to original state. I just want it to be blank. It's ok I lost all the data.

I find myself living the sensors a lot. Waving over to check the screen and then waving over thinking it will close. Has any one else done this besides me? Do you think it might be a battery saver?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
I wish it had the Moto X body with the Droid Turbo hardware and a mSD slot or at least the 64 GB option from the Nexus 6. Motorola just about build the perfect phone this year, but split it among 3 models.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batman562:
yea

I wish it had a micro SD slot also. What about 5 inch. Display for one handed use? What about software they could update or install?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onthecouchagain:
1) Better camera. One that was up to par with other flagships.

2) Dual speakers. Guess they saved that for the Nexus 6. What a tease.

3) Wireless charging.

4) Could do with a bigger battery, but at the same time, I understand the importance of form factor for a 5.2" screen.

That's about it, I guess. I would've been willing to pay $650 for these additional things.

Currently, the camera is the #1 thing holding me back from the Moto X. The other missing things I can live with.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
Wireless charging, maybe... The battery is a non-issue for me as this little battery gets as much SOT as my G3 did with a much larger battery. I don't care about the camera and this speaker is way louder than my previous phones, so I can't complain there either. Oh, maybe an IR blaster for the TV might be nice... But that's it, and even then they're not huge deals for me. This thing is basically perfect for my needs.

iPhone 6's camera & wireless charging.

Then I'd be in heaven :angel:

32Gb is plenty for me, the battery gets me through the day just fine and dual speakers (while a nice addition) are not that important for a phone IMO, as long as a single speaker is loud & clear enough (which it is in this case)

+1 this. This is the biggest gripe I have right now. The Droid Turbo is ugly and it's capacitive buttons are were outdated 2 years ago, the Nexus 6 is too big, and the Moto X still isn't up to flagship status. That combined with the locked bootloaders of Verizon just make me angry. Droid Turbo hardware in a Moto X case and screen with a mSD slot for expandable storage and an unlockable bootloader? Count me in for one even if it were $800.
