Just curious - since this is the one thing that might make me change my mind about not rooting my phone - Does NOMone Resolution Changer know to automatically change the resolution only when a game is specifically opened? Or do you need to change the resolution first - and then start the game?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Matson123:
For the guy saying that GTA is stuttery.. its nothing to do with the resolution. Its all to do with heat and the Samsung DVFS voltage and frequency control.

With DVFS enabled after a few mins of GTA it slows down a little bit and starts to get stuttery because it throttles too easy and underclocks the CPU and GPU by about half.

If your rooted and disable DVFS you get the full GPU and CPU speed in games like GTA vice city and its extremely fluid.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
Second option unfortunately. If you find an application that does that, please tell me. I didn't look for it though as NOMone is working great and I'm a bit afraid of messing with the resolution too much.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] djunited:
Just got myself an exynos note 4. Very nice phone but aside from a little touchwiz stutter, games such as real racing 3 and clash of clans stutter. My nexus 4 ran them fine. Did a quick antutu benchmark to see whats up and this is what i got without flight mode on. What do you think? Benchmarks say my phone should handle them with ease but thats not the case. Anyone with a solution?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Mine can just run them fine. Try a factory reset.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] djunited:
Factory reset on a brand new phone that just got set up?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] somemadcaaant:
Probably some rogue app you got running. Reset like he said or restart. No stutter on this old games so no fix required. Emulators have been good tho getting over 30fps in a few n64 games mupen64 that have tried, dolphin still not the best speed. DraStic was made for the note line. Runs awesome with each game I have.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] djunited:
Has to be coc related. I read a few reviews on the play store from note 4 users who have seen this as well. Much more demanding games are running great so ill just wait on an update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ars_92:
Sky force 2014 doesn't run too well on my exynos note 4. The boss fights in stage 1 and 2 , and also whenever there's alot of clouds the framerate goes down.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] djunited:
Funny i also get drop in fps when im searching for bases to attack in coc with the clouds.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Samsura:
Did you play these games while charging?

Using the fast charger, the clock speed drops so the battery can charge faster.

I did some benchmarks while i was charging once, and got crappy scores. Taking out the charger doubled my score.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Andrewtst:
I don't have any issue for all 3D games I download. I am running Exynos edition N910C, no regret getting the Exynos edition. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hohoXD1233:
PPSSPP working fine at 5x PSP resolution, with the exception of God of War. Problems with Real Racing 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadowjump:
Snapdragon here. Angry Birds Transformers starts to slow down after 4-5 minutes, and it slows down quite a lot.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
Hear me out guys, if you are rooted, switch to 1080 with NOMone Resolution Changer to play games! The difference is not absurd, I admit it, but is clear. All of you having problems with low fps, try it!

GameBench Data

Hey all, Jake from GameBench here! I came across the thread and thought I'd let you guys know that we'll be posting a blog post about the Note 4 variants early this week, and I'll also include some summarised data of the SM-N910C on around 20 different games for you Lodix :)

We're really thrilled to see people using the tool - it's very validating!

Cheers,

Jake Daynes

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Thanks, post a link when ready please :P

The best app to measure gaming experience.

Could you provide support to see the GPU usage of the Mali ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gamebenchjake:
sure thing

Hey, we've actually included some Mali support in version 2.0 (its in the playstore, just update your APK and use the new desktop launcher.

We're working closely with OEMs in order to get aupport for Mali, but it's device specific. Most Samsung devices should be supported :)

Jake
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Well I guess mali 760 is still not supported xD
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gamebenchjake:
Sorry for the delay - I took a couple days off for the holidays :)

You're correct, I've just checked and found that we don't have GPU stats on the Note 4s (Device specific, not GPU specific), however, we'll be adding it in and pushing that out soon.

In the mean time, the blog post is up on our website: gamebench.net/blog/samsung-galaxy-note-4-beats-every-other-phone-asphalt-8

Here's a link to some of the other Note4 data: gamebench.net/sm-n910c.pdf

Enjoy!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RandyKaoss:
I've been playing a lot of Asphalt 8 on my UK Note 4 (Snapdragon SM-910F) and 95% of the time it's silky smooth.

If there's a lot of debris on screen from multiple crashes, then it really slows down. Doesn't affect the gameplay though.

TBH I find in incredible that a phone can run a game as nice looking as Asphalt 8 on a 2560x1440 display!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gamebenchjake:
Yeah - my CEO bought an SM-N910F for his personal phone - the only thing that I've never been a fan of with respect to the Note series, is the size - it's just slightly too big for me. I've got an Alcatel Idol X+ which is quite nice.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Thanks, I hope you enjoyed your holidays.

I will take a look at the review right now [emoji14]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
Guys, I've been really defending using NOMone Resolution Changer to playing games but further investigation showed me that the impact isn't great on some games and totally NONE on others. Spiderman Unlimited is one of them. It plays pretty well on the first hours of gameplay but as you advance in the game, a lot of explosions and stuff start showing and now on level 50 it's getting pretty bad!

The problem is that the games are not "obeying" the 1080p setting from NOMone. Does anyone know why? Does anybody know how to really run games at 1080p?? Exynos C version here. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
Found an app like Chainfire 3D that works on our device (tested by me on a 910C and by another member 910X. The app is called GLTools (graphics optimizer) and I'll test the results more but so far so good.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spydc:
Okay I tried it and it works perfectly.

Question.. is there a risk the front speaker will get blown out by this mod?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gdmlaz:
I didn't make this mod but In my opinion I think it should be fine it doesn't increase volume of the front speaker so if it wouldn't get blown by you having normal conversations on full volume it should be fine while you listen to music
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
OK, just did this & THIS IS A GREAT MOD!

The volume comes out of the earpiece at a slightly lower volume than the rear speaker, so there is ZERO distortion. It's subtle, but does just enough to give everything a more "full" sound. The earpiece speaker does NOT come out at full volume like the previous post tries to scare you into thinking. It only gets a little distortion when you crank up the volume to a ridiculous volume (at which point that rear speaker is VERY loud).

This is absolutely how the phone should have come stock. I followed the video tutorial with no issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] DroidsConcept:
Just did this as well. No issues either. Awesome mod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gdmlaz:
I agree every phone should come like this from factory
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I would be careful with this. When playing music if you put your ear against the earpiece you can hear massive distortion. That speaker was not meant for those level of volumes.

With that said, wonder how hard it would be to solder the standard speaker in place of the earpiece...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
There is no need to ever have your phone up THAT loud unless you're using it as a guitar amplifier for 50,000 people in a stadium. Regular volume levels are fine & do not distort on my S5. Perhaps your earpiece is already defective from turning it up to such high levels.

I don't know. I'm not hard of hearing & the sound is clear at moderate volumes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spydc:
I get some very slight distortion as well when the volume is maxed on my Slingbox app. Keep in mind that all sound from all apps will be coming out of the front speaker as well not only music. Therefore, its not necessarily accurate to say zero distortion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Hypoxic1:
Every speaker on the planet distorts with enough volume. Also some apps just produce distortion because they're not refined. I have the Dish Anywhere Slingbox app & the volume is weird on it, too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kill_dano:
Sounds great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] adam5150:
I haven't done this mod yet but have all attentions on doing so. The thing is as long as you back up your original xml file then if you get worried delete this one and rename your backup. No brainer and no need in trying to scare someone into not trying this. Thanks again for finding this for all of us
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
I've done it and I like it. It's not earth shattering, but it give your speaker volume a little pop that really helps in noisy environments and can be turned down to sound real nice in quite environments. And like adam5150 says, if you don't like it, change it back. Finding new ways to help your device be the best it can be is what these forums are all about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] hyphydragon:
I did it and its cool! i love it! sounds good, way better than before

So does anyone know if this disables "viper4android"? If so can I install drivers again and will it start to work? Do love it though.. Sounds nice.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] andyandmarlys:
Pretty Quiet

I tried this on my Verizon S5, and while the sound does come out of the headset speaker, I'd estimate it to be 2 to 3 times quieter than the back speaker..... It helps a bit, but I wish there was a way to balance out the sound so they were more equal.

Nice quick and easy trick. Thanks for sharing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] DroidsConcept:
Does anyone know, or maybe has tried this on 5.0? I'm thinking about upgrading and trying to weigh out the amount features I'll loose.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Domino1991:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] koragg97:
Sorry for bumping almost a two year old topic but I just tried this modification on my newly installed Android 6.0.1 and it worked quite fine. No bugs or anything, the mixer_paths.xml has always been the same no matter which android version it's in. Just make a backup of your original file and put this one instead. Just wanted to let others on Marshmallow know that this works perfectly well. Cheers :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
I wonder if it works on Nougat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Dieexe:
Thank you, I can confirm it's working great
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Giggletr0n:
I just installed LineageOS 14.1 running Nougat 7.1.1 and then this mod on top and I can confirm that it both works perfectly and is just as easy to install as before ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwake4goten:
What really upset me is that my phone was fine I was using 4.4.2 stock and had good battery life even without battery saver being on... Then I went against my ownif it ain't broke don't try to fix it principles and downloaded 4.4.3 Since then I've noticed my phone wasn't as fantastic battery wise as it used to be.. I started becoming conscious of the need to switch on power saver more often as my phone was draining much quicker than 4.4.2. For this reason I can't wait to switch over to lollipop hopefully issues will have been ironed out...without a show of a doubt 4.4.3 is not as battery efficient as 4.4.2, for my phone anyway... It's a sin that android users don't have the flexibility to roll back to previous versions as they see fit really annoying that I have to wait to the next version....I'm not a hardcore tech user so i dont have the confidence to root and all that...if I send my phone back to my phone company will they roll back to 4.4.2 for me?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Is it a carrier branded version? There are apps you can use to see what is draining your battery. Its possible if you have a carrier branded phone, that there is carrier bloatware that is causing battery drain. Try to disable sync or any apps you don't use (particularly the bloat) and see if that helps.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Have a peek at the first 4 posts in the battery help thread in my signature. If you would like help, post the recommended screen shots there. And specify you are on an M8 to avoid confusion.

There's likely an issue.... Battery life can be great on any version, depending on your usage type and setup. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex-V:
battery on 4.on 4.4 sense is 10 times better for me than on 4.4.3 ...i just go back (because i wanted s2w...hope the new kernel source will come in next days) and again further to 4.4.4 because 4.4.3 battery is just to bad...also on original unrooted
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwake4goten:
Ok just visited the battery help thread and tried some of the suggestions...before without power saving I would get 1 percent drainage every 2-3 minutes with max brightness...now reduced brightness to auto and slider to lowest level and averaging ten minutes per 1 percent....also removed Google now....this is an improvement but didn't have to do this with 4.4.3...I think some apps are not playing nicely with 4.4.3. I hear Google is making a big effort with battery management for lollipop release...
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Use an app to see what is draining the battery. Otherwise you are just guessing.

You also never answered my question whether it was carrier branded, as some carrier bloatware has been known to access the data connection frequently and kil the battery.

Hard to help, if you don't respond to suggestions and questions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwake4goten:
Thanks redpoint, I am on Rogers Canada, actually I was just reading that some nexus users also had battery drain issues with 4.4.3 update. One suggestion there was to disable 4g as maybe the updated modem drivers weren't as efficient as the 4.4.2 ones...going to see if I can select 3g on my HTC one m8 and see if that makes a difference...I wonder if HTC have also modified the modem drivers for their 4.4.3 update too?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Still all guessing without the screen shots.

Gotta help us help you. I dislike guessing. ??
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwake4goten:
Update: well I just changed my device from 4g to 3g and the signal bar has instantly shot up from two bars to maximum five bars, wondering if this will make a difference to battery life? If so I can live with 3g

Don't like answering questions meant to help you? Weird.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirreer:
Yeah? Its even worse on 4.4.4. Using the same settings, same apps, same usage patterns, my battery lasts only 10 hours. I used to get 18 hours with %25-%35 left at bedtime. Google sucks - coz, at the end of the day, the combined battery usage of Android System + Android OS + Google Play Services is more than %60!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gibster:
Well, after the dispair at losing my spv m600, my insurance company well and truly sorted me out! they couldn't get an m600 or similar, so the sent me a tytn! but what's more, while i was in the middle of setting it up, there was a knock at the door, and would you believe it, another one was handed over!! couldn't believe my luck!!!:) :) :) :)

anyway, enough of the showing off! I have a bit of a query. i live in a g3 area, but it doesn't seem to pick up the signal. is there something i need to set up, or should it just change according to the signal? i sometimes get the "U" icon appear, but no g3? this is the case on both devices. as a point, i was on the phone to orange and got all the gprs/g3 settings, so that's all sorted.

any suggestions?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dave_uk:
I think some devices display 3G and some U (for UMTS) dependent upon the ROM. I'm using a Vario II with an HTC ROM and mine displays U when in areas of 3G coverage.

It means exactly the same thing, so I wouldn't worry either way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tonyb15re:
daves correct, its down to the icon used in the firmware, I had Vodafones firmware initially which showed 3G, I now have HTC's which shows U.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gibster:
cool! thanks alot for that guys!

i guess it being intermittent is down to the fact i live in the sticks and teetering on the edge of the catchment are!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gibster:
ok guys. i'm in central london now which is g3 covered, but I get nothing. orange weren't keen on helping me out, this not being an orange device. can anyone help me out with the settings? thanks in advance!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] inquisitor:
Do you actually have a 3g-enabled SIM card, a so-called USIM?

Most networks require such new SIM cards, since other authentication and encryption methods are used on UMTS networks.

Even if you have a USIM, make sure it's an actual one, because the first generation of USIMs is buggy.

By the way 3G stands for "third generation", which includes several radio standards (FOMA, UMTS, CDMA2000, CDMA2001, TD-CDMA / TD-SCDMA, UWC-136), that are incompatible among each other.

What we have in Europe is UMTS. Together with Japanese FOMA UMTS belongs to the WCDMA-family, but Japanese FOMA is about to be migrated to UMTS, too.

Regarding the erroneously sent second TyTN consider to return it - at least here in Germany upholding such an error by silence is still a criminal fraud.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fone_fanatic:
lucky bastard! haha, same thing happened to me when I sent my xbox 360 out for replacement, I got 2 back!

anyways in the upgrading forum theres a cab that changes the U to 3G if u like it that way.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gibster:
thanks for that!

but actually, i want the connection speed, not the icon! but i never got the g3 speed in london, so i figure i got something wrong in my settings!

well done on the xbox! wanna swap it for a brand new tytn? lol?:)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noiz:
I bought my wife an XT1039 a couple of days ago to replace her aging Galaxy Nexus but it's started exhibiting a strange issue whereby it's clicking items of its own accord, resulting in all kinds of weird behaviour. I found a single thread about it on Reddit where people were suggesting to use a different charger but that's all that Google could come up with.

Any chance this is a known issue that can be fixed in software? A new kernel maybe? Hoping I can avoid returning it and having to reinstall everything all over again! :)

Thanks for any advice.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I have also seen a charger cause such issues. Also update to 4.4.4 if you can.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noiz:
Wouldn't be such an issue if it actually came with a charger. It's on 4.4.4 already so I think I'll take it back. Now to find out if it's possible to re-lock the bootloader...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I was hoping 4.4.4 would solve the issue; obviously not. I think it's to do with the phones sensitivity to certain voltage / current. Any brand name / semi-decent charger should be fine. I have only seen it happen with a cheap generic usb cable.

You can't undo bootloader unlock. OEM relock is only superficial and Motorola will know immediately if you have ever unlocked the bootloader.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noiz:
As a last ditch attempt before returning it I installed the latest CM11 nightly, and while it's too late to know for sure whether it's helped, it's so far so good. And this is after an overnight charge using the same charger as before.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Just to be clear, the issue I experience was only while usb cable was connected.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noiz:
This seemed to manifest after a charge (though it might have been during too). That said CM11 does appear to have fixed it. It's been a few days now with no issues.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noiz:
Bumping just to keep anyone lurking in the loop. The issue reappeared after a day or so, so I wiped, reinstalled stock and attempted to relock the bootloader. One part wouldn't flash properly (ironically, I think it was the bootloader itself) so I couldn't actually lock it. Instead I just flashed over the warning message with a Powered by Google splash screen and took it back to Tesco. The guy there was happy to exchange it and the new one has been absolutely fine.

You could try Adblock or Adblock notfication killer from the Play Store. Don't know if you can adjust them for push notifications though...

Or go through your apps and services in Titanium Backup, identify likely culprits and freeze them. If you get unwanted side effects, just unfreeze again.

That's probably what I would try first...
