[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rookiegenius:
I exchanged mine 2 times because they had dust under the screen . Too bad I didn't check the screen uniform last time.

Anyway I'm on my 3rd Note 4. I don't have yellow/blue/purple tilted part but the white is not uniform as I can tell the top half of my screen is a little bit dimmer. It's something that an average user wouldn't notice but I do because I'm extremely picky. Anyway my dad's note 3's screen has uniform white so maybe you can score a perfect amoled screen but then maybe you'd end up with another problem like dust or dead pixel.

Sometimes I hate myself for having such good eyes lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chodaboy19:
My black Note 4 also has some issues with the screen uniformity. My right side has a pink hue as described above. I don't have the yellow tint on the left. Also under direct sunlight the screen creates a strange effect, it looks like the colors are inverted. If you place your hand to create a shadow over the screen then the colors look correct without the inversion, it is a very strange phenomena. I am trying to decide whether to exchange it for a white one or get another black one.

Are the white version somehow better in quality control?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Inabyss:
Mine was looked like this. And everyone in the BestBuy from where I got this said this is NORMAL. Fortunately I could able to get a replacement from the other BestBuy. The new one is still not perfect (it looks similar to yours), but I can live with it since I don't want to send it for Samsung's Warranty service.

(My local BestBuy said they can exchange the smartphone for only one time. If I have a problem with the replacement, I have to send it back to the manufacturer for repair. I couldn't find this from policy in BestBuy website, but that's what they said to me.)

What the best way to be able to remove bloat wear from Samsung and ATT? I know a specific ROM would help but If I want to stay with stock, can I get ride of this?

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] COA4178:
From the moment, disabling em. At least is what I did
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xlr8shun:
This is all I could do also.. you can disable most of the bloat.. but it's still there taking up space.

I wonder though.. does disabling really disable everything ? Without extensive testing and monitoring.. one can only wonder..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] COA4178:
The only way to see is check the running apps and c wether or not they disabled
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] 2bnoted:
It would be helpful if you please list the bloatware that you disabled without any issues in the phone?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RiNo808:
How do you disable the bloat?

Sent from my Note3 Rocking DynamicKat or my G3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] COA4178:
I disabled anything I wouldnt use, anything that is from att, yellow pages, some kids app, and some other weird names.

Click on app drawer, hold the app u going to disable drag it to the top of then and drop it where it says disable. Let me know if it work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] 2bnoted:
Ok. I thought you disabled the apps using the Settings>Application Manager route. In the application manager you can see many other apps also which are not listed as your apps but are running in the background and can be disabled. Also, using this method, for each app you can first clear the data and cache before disabling / turning off the app thereby freeing up some more space taken by these apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jennygirl:
I would love to know this as well, specifically the ones not found in the app drawer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RiNo808:
Is disabling the app like freezing the app?

Sent from my Note3 Rocking DynamicKat or my G3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] optimusv45:
Without root you probably can't freeze apps. You can probably only turn them off
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 General] -CALIBAN666-:
Due to the numerous times we have to ask for logcats on miscellaneous crashes, I searched for different guides to link people to. There are several, but none were as simple and straightforward to understand as the method that I personally use for my own. You may have heard of, or used, Catlog before...But it appears that this method of using Catlog is not as well known (or only used by people like me), which is another reason I am creating this thread. NOTE: this method is for those who can replicate the actions needed to cause a crash fairly quickly (I hate long logcats!)

-----

YOU MUST BE ROOTED IN ORDER TO GET A LOGCAT (with apps like Catlog or by using ADB).

-----

PROCEDURE:

1. Search for, and download, Catlog from the Play Store (or the Holo version floating around xda; I assume it works the same)

2. Long press on your homescreen, create the Catlog widget (1x1)

3. Click on the Catlog widget. This will prompt a dialog for you to change/confirm the name for the log's .txt file (if you so please)

4. Repeat the action (such as opening an app) that caused you to get a force close.

5. As soon as you get the "XXX has force closed/stopped working", go back to your homescreen (or whichever screen you placed the widget on) and click on the widget again. NOTE: This will open your recorded log within the Catlog app. Unless you know how to debug, you don't need to worry about that...you can just close it.

6. After exiting the log that you just recorded, open up the file explorer of your choice. Scroll down until you see the "catlog" folder. Inside of that will be "Saved Logs", which is where you will find the .txt file containing the recorded logcat.

7. Then send that logfile to your developer of choice.

THATS IT!!!!NOT SO HARD RIGHT?????​
[Galaxy Note 4 General] faisalee:
Hi Guys,

I just got Note 4 yesterday, screen is beautiful, build is good but I am a bit disappointed with the GPU performance.

I know it has the latest and the greatest GPU, but when I do play Real Racing 3 I can feel it lagging and sluggish.

It's the Snapdragon version 910G and the phone is not on powersave mode.

Even my older Nexus 5 runs RR 3 in beautiful detail and smooth graphics.

Leave the RR3, even the overall performance feels a bit sluggish. Probably due to the insanely high resolution of the screen that the hardware can't handle? :confused:

Any one else feels this with note 4?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
This the opposite of all feedbacks I'm seeing regarding performance and usability. If you have the chance please try side by side with another unit and consider return yours.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] faisalee:
Hi Joel,

Thanks for your reply, the device is amazing no doubt. But my only issue is its graphics performance. Not talking about benchmarks but a real test with Real Racing 3, it's lagging ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kit:
There is a high chance the game is running in 1080p downscaled anyway. I'm pretty certain that even pushing the high res this GPU has enough power for any game.

I think it's probably just because S805 is still a new SoC so some games not optimized?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
I tried rr3 on my exynos version and game is very smooth. Overall performance of phone i dont see any lag at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
I also just try out at Exynos edition - N910C, it run perfectly smooth, no issue. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] faisalee:
Wow then I must be crazy or expecting too much :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cooldoc007:
how abt the contact and phone lag after clearing ram or rebooting phone? i m asking coz i have an option of buying the sd or exynos version.. only downside of exynos i am worried is the availability of ROMS.. SD version will have more roms to choose i guess.. same happened with ma note 3 which was exynos..:(

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

and i thought the adreno gpu was better according to benchmarks..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
No lag at pretty much instant.

And about gpu adreno gpus always had better scores but mali gpus always give better performance.

I used note 3 both snapdragon and exynos version adreno 330 almost doubled mali t628 in benchmarks but in games again exynos version was better. Snapdragon was better in general use of phone though but this year seems this seems exynos is better in general use too according to this thread cuz my exynos very smooth and fast in general use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
You should try using the QHD LG G3 with an 801. You will see real lag and dropped frame rates then!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
Actually this time Exynos GPU is much better. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oursoul:
Just installed and it looks fine to me (snapdragon), terrible game though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
I played Asphalt 8 for 20 minutes and until the end the fps were almost 60.

Here a capture of Gamebench:

And here the Galaxy S5 with an Adreno 420 and 2k display:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] faisalee:
For the first time players real racing 3 may look fine but I have been playing it on iPhone 5, 5s, Nexus 5 and now note 4. All the previous were great and smooth. But note 4 I can feel a certain frame drop. Especially on bigger maps with more cars.

ASPHALT is not so heavy graphics wise compared to RR so 60 frames there is normal :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
If it too easy to get around 60fps in Asphalt why the S5 Prime just got 46fps and the G3 Cat 6 just around 30fps ??

I will try RR3 later.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Hadn't heard about Gamebench, so thanks for posting that!

Sent from my SM-N910U
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mkim055:
Isn't this more of game optimization issue?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
You are wellcome.

The Adreno should be more optimized because of more devices having it so...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] huy_lonewolf:
I have just tried Real Racing on my Snapdragon Note 4 and it lags quite badly, not during gameplay but in UI transition. I have never tried Real Racing on any other devices but as a PC gamer, I think the graphics seems quite bad (there isn't any anti aliasing at all). UI transition is especially bad, such as swiping between car models, which look like PowerPoint slides with no animation effect. Touching on menu and items takes like a second to register. Can't say that I am impressed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Sounds like an optimization issue really, and with Nexus 6 rocking the same HW I can bet RR3 will be getting an update soon to fix this, I wouldn't worry too much, this phone is barely a month into sale, please keep that in mind.

Hello

Would i be able to freely take pictures underwater with this cellphone or is there a certain limit of times it can dive underwater?

is it stil worth buying it in 2014 for 375 bucks?

Is it better than the g2?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
I used my phone to take picture this summer every day for about half hour a day. I even recorded few videos per day.

My friend uploaded one to youtube so i will share you here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InN29dnyFRg

P.s. Not a single problem on my unit after "abusing" waterproofnes.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
Z1 is old model now and I prefer you to get the Z2 instead or the latest Z3 if you have enough budget

It is able to take photos or videos underwater by using the volume up/down or camera button

You can use it as many times as you want ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pin70:
Hm thanks, i'd get the z2 but the price jumps from 370 bucks to 470 bucks. i don't see the need since the only upgrade i notice is the snapdragon 801 wich isn't that much of a upgrade.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
Not only that,the speaker was upgraded to dual front stereo speakers and also a 3GB of ram with IPS display.Btw,that is your choice on getting the Z1... :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pin70:
Price is out of my range :/

btw, does this phone scratches easily? does it have that scratch film that if you remove removes the logo with it?

Edit:

I got another question aswell, if you say the z1 isn't worth it, would u say it'd be better to get a LG G2?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben Ling:
Yes the Z1 have the scratch film that removes the Sony logo if you remove it.I'm not sure about it as I use the Z only.Simply buy a case and cover so that it won't be scratched.

Comparing to the LG G2,it has 5.2" IPS display while Z1 is 5.0" TFT display.Other than that,all specs are exactly same.Of course,Z1 has the dust and waterproof IP rating...

So it depends on which brand you are looking for and try to get a hands on on both devices.

It is absolutely worth buying! Great original rom(my first phone without a custom rom), great dev options(damn, I just love Flashtool!), waterproof, great camera(manual or with Xposed), physical camera button, great specs and I also love the design! I always root my phones(first thing I do after a proper charge) and had ghosttouches! Was easy to fix, just changed the clearpad settings(root is needed because clearpad is a system file)! Only the speaker disappoints me!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pin70:
It is in my hands finally.

I've never seen such an awesome smartphone ever, and also i don't know if it is because i got the "newest" version, but the viewing angles are just great, i can actually see everything looking at an angle of about 140 degrees.

the phone feels so good, but the speaker is in a bad place, you cover it up while gaming, it heats up quite a lot when gaming but that was to be expected.

i still haven't risked placing it underwater thou, a lot of complaints of malfunction after doing that.

as has been said many times, search search and search again. This is definitely alrady in the forums a dozen times

.wav and \windows folder. Im saying no more.

WAV files required

Put suitable WAV files into the windows folder and that did the trick. They are all available now as notification sounds

Hello,

I am just wondering, where is the latest news on the progress of our bootloader being unlocked? Or atleast where can I get any kind of info on how to do it? Cause I'll be dead honest, I turned on my galaxy S3 and missed the CM experience. I just want to get this thing unlocked so I can enjoy our phone, instead of being OK with what ATT gives us, cause its kinda dumb.

thanks for any information at all, cause I'd honestly dedicate my phone to the effort.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jm2k7:
there will never be unlocked by at&t, this company is closed by capitalist political protection of the operator's own functions.

well I sold the phone, it is unfortunate, it is a good phone, it's amazing the difference g900a g900f with the operating system.

The g900f has everything unlocked functions representing the galaxy s5.

I recommend that you do not fall into the scam at&t.

I hate to be pessimistic, but with the arrival of "android 5" I doubt that at&t update these terminals, is a company that has a reputation of leaving obsolete phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] akitten007:
I would easily pay 25-50 dollars for an unlock tool (like Sunshine for HTC/Motorola devices) for the G900A. While I do appreciate Safestrap and all its glory, I really, really, want stock android L on our device. Because somewhere...... a Samsung engineer is looking at L thinking "how can we screw this one up..."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] goob1284:
All I'm saying is this, I'm not too savy with hacking or low level coding; but I hope that if Samsung does push out Android L and that there is some sort of exploit or bug that will allow us to root/unlock the boot loader since it would be a fairly new os compared to that of ICS/KK.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronichemp:
Im just hoping devs get the bootloader unlocked before the end of 2014, but sadly i dont know if it will ever be unlocked:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] goob1284:
Why can't we pull a boot loader encryption key from an update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregsarg:
Be careful what you wish for...

"L" has a whole new set of challenges....

Init commands are no more...

So our traditional root and superuser mechanisms are gone...

Google did this on purpose in the name of security..

So not only are the carriers locking us out..but Google is turning into the new apple....

So much for open source and freedom to create....g

Man screw this s5 I'm going to fire back up my s3 . I'm missing cm big time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pennywisdom:
What you're describing is basically breaking an encryption, which is out of the realm of possibility. It would be far easier (and has still not happened yet) to literally steal the keys from Samsung. I believe previous bootloaders have been unlocked this way. If a lock is unpickable, then I'll just steal the key from the guy who has it right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MCFADONNA:
Sounds good to me .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ConMcCRay:
If the T-Mobile version is unlocked why can't we just make it think it's the same phone, or just switch out the boot loader somehow. Maybe someone understands what I'm saying ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
That's not going to ever happen. The bootloader is locked down to prevent that. You need to unlock our bootloader before you could ever switch them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Megadave123:
Perhaps I misunderstand what you're asking - but are you aware you can switch homescreen/launcher app, WITHOUT needing root or to flash a custom rom? The option to switch is built in to the OS. I have an S5, and it *is* rooted (I like TiBu) , but I had switched to Apex Launcher BEFORE I had rooted it.

Some quick checks indicate current CM uses "Trebuchet" launcher - some searching found me this: http://www.maartendekkers.com/cmapps/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
yes no need to root for third party launchers however, many third party launchers (Nova for instance) have features and functions that are only available if it is installed as a system app versus user mode app.
