[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicfailftw123:
As an owner of a rooted Verizon Retail S5, I'm very grateful for the developers that have worked hard to maximize the potential of the phone, but no matter how much you clean up TouchWiz, it is simply no replacement for Cyanogenmod/AOSP. My question is it possible to have a work-around for the locked bootloader like the LG G3's Bump possible on the S5?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkMidnight:
I would also love to see something like this. I had mentioned in another thread why not try to use Kexec? That was used on a CyanogenMod ROM I had on my Motorola Droid 4 that had a locked bootloader. Basically, the phone will boot with its kernel, then kexec will load the custom one on top of it.

Now granted, IDK if the Motorola D4 had TrustZone or any of that nonsense to deal with so I'm not sure if something like that could work as an interim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] electroblood:
I have been using search/Google to look for these answers, but I am seeing conflicting information. Can anyone help?

I purchased a T-Mobile Note 3 that had previously been activated on the T-Mobile network. The phone is clean and can be activated. I am going to be placing it on the AT&T network (Cricket actually). I have the SIM Unlock code. I do not intend to use the phone internationally.

I do not have :

My Cricket SIM. I am in the process of changing from Page Plus to Cricket, so my number has not been transferred yet.

An active T-Mobile SIM.

I DO have some random, currently inactive SIM card from Sprint (I know this phone wont work on Sprint, I dont want it on Sprint, its just what I have at hand).

When I place the random Sprint SIM in the phone I am prompted for the unlock code. I have not attempted to enter the code, just wanted to see if it would generate the promp.

Since this phone was previously activated on T-Mobile, do I need to put a currently good T-Mobile SIM card in it to get the unlock code to work properly?

If so, can I buy a BYOD T-Mobile SIM card from Target, leave it inactivated, and use that to unlock?

Can I use an unactivated Cricket SIM to generate the Unlock message and unlock it from there?

What will the behavior be if I unlock it using the Sprint SIM?

I have been using the search to get an answer to this question, but there seem to be some conflicting reports here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ramdesai:
If the sim card is other than t-mobile, you will get unlock prompt. You can enter the unlock code but if you use cdma sim cards mostly you will not get signal. I am not sure if the t-mobile note 3 is cdma compatible. But sprint note 3 has both cdma and gsm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] icenight89:
No, you don't need a T-Mobile Sim, active or otherwise.

Since the phone is a native T-Mobile phone and you wish to UNLOCK it, simply place a Sim card from any carrier (active or not) into the phone and boot it up. As you have discovered it will prompt for an unlock code. Enter the code you paid for and you're done, that's it.

Once you receive the cricket Sim you can simply insert it and continue to use the phone.

For the above please make sure the phone is completely stock, otherwise issues will arise

Covered Design, Features, What was removed as well as added and a Speed Test. Is it worth the jump from the Note 3 to the Note 4?﻿

After using the Note 3 as my main device for a year then getting the Note 4, I like to say that there is a difference and it feels refreshed. With the 1440p Display, New Touch Wiz Ui, and a few new features. Now I did notice that there are somethings missing from the Note 4 that the Note 3 had. There are also something that have been moved and changed, like the Pen Window feature is now used with the Multi-Window feature on the Note 4. Spec wise there is not a massive push but its still a beast of a phone. Watch the Full comparison below and let me know what you think. Is it worth the jump from the Note 3 to the Note 4?﻿

I did not think it would be at first, but my phone whore personality came out.

The display, camera, video, metal, and going no contract lm there.

With tomorrow being the day, I doubt I will sleep much tonight. LOL

Dang being a tech freak sucks and is expensive!

Kicking Deuce on the Beast, Note 3
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marvi0:
Am sticking with my 3. It has massive Dev support, so it's rooted and pretty much hacked to the max. I have a 128gb sd card in their, so have games on the sd card, music everything. I think had Samsung probably added more ram then maybe they would have had my money. I will however probably get the 4 for my wife though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sprintuser1977:
I am sure you will get some hands on time with her phone though huh? LOL

[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Most modern mid end to high end smartphones can handle 128GB MicroSDs with no problem.

I plan on getting a 128GB MicroSD for my Note 4 :D

Btw, thanks OP for the info, it will help a lot of people. I came from a Galaxy S4 so the Note 4 is a huge jump for me :) loving this beast!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] willstay:
So far I miss few things from Note 3.

1. Cannot add app shortcuts at the bottom of lock screen. It is right now fixed to default camera app

2. There was "edit after capture", no longer there, have to swype down notification and click 'edit'

3. No software "Air Command" shortcuts available in the market yet

4. Qi receivers are hell expensive

5. Most irritating : no longer SD write access (searching root threads) -> Edit: Just rooted using chainfire's method, tripped KNOX, whatever!! I never had to root Note 3. Google deserves kick in the ass for disabling SD write.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
They can support up to 2tb storage!!! Try using an otg cable and hooking up an external hdd or flashdisk.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bonerp:
Definately worth the upgrade if you can swallow the price (I buy sim free as don't want to be tied into a 2yr contract thanks!). I upgraded from the Note 3 and so many aspects have improved. The camera, battery, style and s pen are all better.

Is it worth the money? Compared to an IP6 definately. Compared to a OnePlus One which is under half the price....well the screen on that isn't as good - I mean sensitivity not pixels. The N4 is so much more complete but whether its worth the additional £350 is down to you personally.

If you have the Note 3 and don't have the cash to upgrade - don't worry about it. Not worth breaking the bank over! The N3 is a fine device and not far off as powerful.

The N4 has some very nice enhancements though, and you'll not be disappointed if you do buy it. Every note model I've owned (all of them) have impressed. I've tried other phones and always end up back on the note.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
No, not really. According to Engadget's review, the Note 4 barely pulls ahead benchmark wise. The Note 3 is still a very capable phone and one I will be keeping for two years. Samsung is taking a step backward and has removed the ability to add lockscreen widgets. I know some of you may not think this is a big deal, but why remove a feature that you have the OPTION to use? It's ridiculous and I personally use lockscreen widgets. Google made it a feature for a reason and for them to remove it is just absurd.

The Note 4 does not blow the Note 3 out of the water enough to justify the upgrade price for me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanson:
Agreed, If you have the note 3, keep it. i got the note 4 only because i could go to it and keep my note 3 to give to my g/f. I will say, i do like some of the improvements in the UI, but there are a bunch of things that bug me as well. Specifically the menu button is no longer a menu button. And a lot mor bloat to turn off by default.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackout720:
Agree as well, I did the jump cause It didn't make a difference in my payments on my Phone Bill. I sold the Note 3 and payed it off, now I have the Note 4. Truly its a step forward and two steps back in some places.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phyba:
I played with the note 4 today for about an hour at the store and just could t justify the upgrade. To be honest, the "premium" build quality didn't feel much different from. My note 3. I put the phones side by side and I honestly could not see a difference in screen clarity. The speaker wasn't loud at all.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackout720:
rooting and custom roms will hopefully throw this phone into overdrive
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LouRock:
Good comparison video. I will definitely be rockin my Note 3 a bit longer until the Note 5 comes out. IMHO the Note 4 is simply not that big of a deal..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asim.sidz:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackout720:
don't get me wrong, i'm loving it but coming form the note 3 its eh. Coming from the Note 2 or S3 then yes.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joey121215:
I'm coming from the note 3 and not at all regretting it, absolutely love the phone. Feels much nicer in the hand, runs a lot faster, I have amazing vision so I could see the pixels on the 3, but I can't on the 4, and I'm loving the camera so far. Freeza I'm sad to see you're not making the switch, yes I am pissed about the widgets myself, only thing I dislike about the phone. I never ran anything other than what you put out for the 3 and it saddens me to not have your skill anymore. I'm sure some other developer will hopefully enable lockscreen widgets and shortcuts. As for the price, yeah it is a lot, but I sold a cheap phone to best buy for two hundred and my 3 is up on eBay right now for 300, so I made money by upgrading

THIS! A thousand times this! I hate the menu button being changed. I've found that if you long press the new preview pane button, it gives you the same result as the old menu button.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovekeiiy:
this is loaded question, per se. It's too subjective.

I think a lot of it depends on what tasks you're wanting to do with the phone. You already know the hardware updates. Do you use the stock Samsung or Spring software, there are improvements, especially on the Samsung side.

I even say the coming from the Note 2, it's a bit of a upgrade, which is what I'm coming from. Don't get me wrong, it's a great phone. But it wasn't the leap I experience when going from the Evo4g to the Note 2. I wasn't expecting it either.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackout720:
I got use to the settings button now being a recent button. Took time and it did bother me, but im over it now.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerys71:
Well that depends on WHY you want or need a N4 and how you use the N3 N4.

I actually don't like the "premium build" they BEND then you make the frame out of aluminum. come on samsung the least you could do was use something other than aluminum Stainless or Magnesium or hell add $50 and go Titanium.

Aluminum is too damned soft. Prefer plastic.

but it was inside a case before walking out of the store so I don't really care either way.

anyway. There is a short list of things that made the upgrade VERY worthwhile to me.

Camera. HUGE HUGE improvement. night and day. big improvement.

SOUND. Huge huge improvement. again night and day better than the N3 louder and clearer. I have no idea HOW they are doing it but its as loud from the front as from the back. No idea how they are doing that (connecting to the front glass and using it to resonate sound from or something???

Call recording. YES. finally automatic call recording works (rooted wanam) AND it works over bluetooth !!! yes finally. this is a big one for me too.

Oddly enough a software UI change was another big one for me. when I am in an app and a call comes in instead of shutting off what I am doing and taking over with a phone call it pops this tiny little window where you can interact with the call and still keep doing what your doing (more on this later its a double edges sword)

Higher Resolution screen. I alter the DPI of my displays (running the Note 4 at 480 from 640 stock)

the 1440p screen really is delicious to the eyes. SO utterly clean. that is important to me.

Now what I hate?

LTE SPARK. while it is as fast as all get out YOU CAN NOT USE DATA during a call. No not 3g of course it can't do that you can not even use 4g while on a call.

what is the point of a neat pop up call taker window if you can't keep doing what your doing anyway because your data connection goes POOF till the call is over. Grrrrrrr

that was a really dumb move on their parts. It is not a HUGE deal. I very rarely need data and calling at the same time but the few times I do "I REALLY DO" need it. Very annoying.

otherwise I like it. I am miffed that they removed the temp/humidity sensors. I used those. but not a deal breaker.

I also have an issue where it "freezes up" for a few seconds anytime I END a call. no idea why. not sure if its one of my hacks/patches or just the phone.

otherwise it is better in every way. brighter whiter clearer screen. clearer louder sound. HUGELY improved camera though I wish it has a 240fps mode at 720p and 120fps at 1080p would have been killer.

if it won't break you to upgrade. Do it.

I paid nothing for mine. Thank you apple :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyke24:
Well I was taking with the Samsung guy at best buy a few weeks ago. And learned that the note 4 has a VR processor imbedded in it and Samsung is currently in post production of VR glasses that only work with the note 4. I know for some That's not a big deal but for some cracking that processor and using it to boost the phones ablity.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
A big one missing at the moment is root for the US models. Note 3 can be rooted easily and enable card writes for starts. That is if you are one of the folks like me that use a lot of third part apps that need

card writes :)

I do not believe for one minute Google will keep card writes enabled in Lollipop. They were enabled in the beta for Kitkat as well, but was disabled for public release. One simple parameter change in the load

script to disable it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] blackout720:
Root for the T-Mobile is available, bit hopefully it can be made available for verizon and the rest. IT was done for the Note 3 and S5.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Yes, but months later as was the S4. A lot of people were less concerned then since card writes worked before Kitkat. Waiting many months for a feature that uncripples the function of apps for

someone that uses sd cards for a lot of content is not a waiting luxury now as a result. I see the N3 with card writes as a much better option in spite of the good stuff the N4 has. Card writes are

are too critical for me :) Of course I would prefer the N4- IF card writes worked :) Too many apps I use a lot to suddenly not be able to edit and save content with.

N3 wins due to a technical knockout from a right hook of card writes ;) Perhaps a rematch this spring, but then the 64bit devices will be out and about.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fletch33:
using the latest Jasmine ROM 2.4.1 you get a really N4 like experience.

he is also working on a full N4 port like he did with the S5 port for N3.

not exactly a N4 but software wise its darn close already.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] blackout720:
I used the S5 port on the Note 3 and I must say it was really close. I had s-pen working and everything. You can just use the S5 port and say you have a Note 4.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Not having lag issues with the N4 and have a couple hundred apps loaded (really). Seems as fast as the Note 3. I still think the device would be better off with 1080p. Now the S6 will apparently have a 4K display with a smaller display then the N4.

IMO, pure stupid to waste the resources when battery life could be better.

Just go in and say you have a phone, and would like to get a USIM pack on the $29 cap (or whatever you want). They will transfer your number or whatever you like. Was very easy.
