[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
So got my Note 4 today and noticed some trouble when it took hours and hours to get all my apps synced...so went on to do some speed tests side by side my Note 2. Note 2 on wifi consistently pulling 7 mbps DL/ 6 UL, while the 4 is only getting 1 mbps DL and 3 UL. What gives? Anyone else having issues? I'm tempted to say I have a dud.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazed_z06:
No issues here... Radios in this device seem insanely good in my experience..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidraven:
Same problem here, note 3 pulling 50mb, note 4 barely 16:((
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
yeah saw your post while searching. Doing more research...getting some erratic behavior. Reset once, still got bad numbers, reset again and got good ones in the 20s-30s (normal for the room I'm in). Bluetooth won't pair with my Moto 360, maybe it was going crazy trying...it just keeps connecting/disconnecting. Hrmph!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazed_z06:
Just did a bunch of tests on mine... looking good..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
Got watch paired after some angry factory resets on it, connection might be ok now....I've got my eye on it though! I won't complain further until I get a full day of various scenarios at least.

I haven't had any further problems since that initial oddness, so calling it a hiccup. Thanks for your info.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
I am having wifi issues as well. Wired connection gets 46 down, 5 up. Macbook gets 26 down, 5 up. Note 4 gets between 5 and 7 down. I've checked my router settings and they all look correct. Is there anything that can be done? Are these devices being released with poor wifi?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Class:
It doesn't seem like its the hardware, using a testing program called iPerf I am able to get good speeds. But anything running in a Java android app like browser downloads, speed test.net etc gets HORRIBLE speed. There is something wrong with Android. Its not a hardware problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmaak:
I will give that app a try and see how it goes. Thank you for the suggestion.

I did just pick up a second Note 4 for myself, and it is testing about as poorly as my wife's.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Class:
Yep... Its really not hardware related so getting a new phone is just costing Samsung $$$.

Seems like only people on AC get good speeds. B, G, N its all horrible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnchad14:
I haven't checked in much on wifi speeds since those first 2 days. I'll recheck some stuff in different environments and see if anything pops up again. At work it's non AC routers. I might try to connect to the goofy comcast N? G? router at home and see what it does, too. Either way, it's not been consistently bad on AC even, but may have occasional issues? I so hate router technology!

At home: Apple Airport Extreme AC router

Initial experience: 1-4 mbs download

2 resets later and since that I've noticed: full speed (25-30 on my service)

Hello,

I would like to kindly ask you how much is a I9250XXLJ1 phone worth.

Is 75euro a good price for it (given it's a few years old)?

If I buy it in Australia will it work in Europe as well?

Moreover, could I root it, and install never Android versions (latest available Android version is 4.3)?

Thank you for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martikung:
it is not worth
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [.::MDT::.]:
I got it for free. :)

I need to understand how to root it etc now... any link to start with?

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JohnnyEpic:
These have been recalled by Zagg according to a Facebook exchange I had w/ Zagg and a rep Zagg Chick. They are on display everywhere including Best Buy and still available to order. The curve on the Note 4 glass causes the edges to remain lifted from the glass creating a weird halo tyoe of effect all the way around the edge. Some exchanges back & forth from custoners had Zagg requesting information (like a credit card, say what?) for an exchange when the engineering is corrected.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JohnnyEpic:
Don't want to load xda w/ bunch of useless photos but you can go to Zagg on Facebook and read more angry posts.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] chosenhobo:
So if we bought it (like I did), we can just exchange them for the non-halo ones later when they're released?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Tahde:
I got one too. Interesting. I do not do facebook, so hopefully this thread stays updated with the latest information.

Sent from my SM-T807P
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Inline:
Got one on the day of phone release at Best Buy and had the guy install it - realized it was messed up, tried to put on a new one from a new package (for free) and it had that same halo effect because of the curved glass, so he just returned the glass one for me and I just got one of the normal Zagg kind and installed that for me and I was all set lol.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arunningpir8:
If you guys had gone with iSmooth you would have perfection with the absolute best customer service I have ever seen in a company ;)

btw, not an employee nor affiliated in anyway...just absolutely love their products after trying 20 or so different screen protectors and hope I can help others save money/time/frustration that I went through :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] vocaltreat:
Bought mine at sprint the day it released as well. The halo dowant really bug me. When im using the phone i dont really notice and i have the samsung case so its closed when im not using the phone. But i do still have the zagg boxes and i registered the zagg glass already. When thru release the updated version ill awitch it out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] eNkrypt:
I bought this PThink - was like $9 - anyone ever used it?

Haven't had a chance to put it on yet

I did look at the glass and it does not appear to be curved. Although I can't tell for sure until I put it on.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] btb601:
Yeah, I was all set to take it back today along with a usb wifi adapter I decided not to use. Halo thing bugs me some, not to mention it looks like I'm eating KFC and texting on my phone from all the smudges on the screen. Even at $40, I decided to keep it to protect my phone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JohnnyEpic:
I'm being told they will be making an option on their website for an exchange when they fix the issue. As of today, Best Buy still has them forsale.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] die4ucharper:
Thanks for taking the time to share this. I got mine today, and the sprint dude said if you apply heat to it, then will go down. I'll borrow the neighbors hair dryer to see if this works.....I'm kinda doubting it...but if it does, I'll share. Otherwise, I'll be waiting too....but from someone who had 4 Notes 3's....due to breaking the screen....when he sold it to me, it was like I could hear angel music and bright lights were shining. LoL. If it really works, I'll be happy.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JohnnyEpic:
Please share your results. In my experience, tempered glass doesn't bend like that but my experience doesn't consist on phone screen covers.... ☺

My thing is you shouldn't have to apply heat to a $50 screen cover. The other material you can apply heat (sudden temperature rise) and have flexibility, this I've done before.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] llawen:
Same thing here. Zagg edges not down at edges. Sprint basically told me nothing they can do. Unbelievable. I guess ill register my zagg and hope for a replacement when one is available. 40 bucks you would think it would fit properly. Oh well. Ive contacted everyone i can.

Sprint said I was the first person to complain about it. I call b.s.

AS FOR ME.....GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] die4ucharper:
Uhm..yeah...no go with the heat. The Sprint salesman told me it did work. I find his sales tactics to be subpar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dan_h1n474:
Well I've gone though two Zagg glass shields on my Note 4, plus I've also gone through an HDX. Both of the glass shields didn't go down at the bottom. The problem with them not laying down on the edges was worse on the iPhone 6 and 6 plus. The HDX went down just fine but I really wanted a glass shield.

As for Zagg having recalled them... I'm not to sure if they have otherwise we wouldn't carry them at Best Buy. I have, however, noticed that you can purchase the shields on Zagg's website but they are backordered.

Zagg released a second batch of the iPhone shields that worked perfectly fine so I'm sure that they will for the Note 4 as well.

Ps... These devices are the only ones with these issues. I've probably put down hundreds of shields and never had issues.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Cbass15:
I buy the zerolemon glass screen protector ? made by the same people who make the zerolemon battery. Works flawless. And is 30$ cheaper. I have the same kind on my note 3.

Took mine back to sprint... THey tried to give me the 14 day policy.... I told them they need to override that summa of bi*tch and give me my money back. I know this won't work for everyone but be very addimit about your money and I hope it works for everyone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] rey_1178:
Now that I read this thread is when I notice the halo isn't normal. This was the first time I ever bought a Zagg glass and thought nothing of it. Doesn't really bother me but I'll make sure to register this item in case they do an exchange for us.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] llawen:
Update....Just called Zagg. They said that getting new glass out by black friday is top priority. Was told to check back next week. Oh, be said they we will not be charged for shipping since it was their fault. Make sure you call them on it if they try to charge you.

he sold it to you and you still have it.

sorry about that, but he did his job.

you should return it and demand your money back.

And test out the CS rep's skills.

good luck
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arabdrifter:
I can confirm the zagg issue w/pics. This happened when installing the platinum case. Soon as the two part case clipper together, the zagg glass shattered.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
How do you tell by the box, if you have the new revision or not?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] die4ucharper:
Well...spot on only if you think lying to make a sale is good. I do not. So sub-par it is.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ptaylor09:
I just received an email from zagg customer service. This was his response to the halos. "Thank you contacting ZAGG! My name is Chris, and I am happy to assist you.

I understand that you had a couple questions about the Note 4 Glass invisibleSHIELD. Unfortunately this product for this device has had alot of these reports about “halos” around the curved edge this problem has been fixed. you can register your product and process a warranty request at ZAGG.com or contact us at 1-8/00-700-ZAGG and we’ll process that warranty request for you."
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] arabdrifter:
I emailed zagg as well, after registering it. Clicked on the warranty part and placed an order. The only requirement is that you return your old one or you'll be billed full amount. I paid $6 for standard shipping. I'll note one more thing, when I installed the zagg glass, it didn't have the halo issue as mentioned in previous posts. Fit perfectly without any issue and stuck well for 2 wks till I installed the platinum case.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jasmithers:
got rid of mine ASAP

When I bought the phone at a Sprint company store, the sales rep sold me on the Glass Zagg protector. He told me I didn't have to wait the usual three days or so before putting on a case either. Just in case, I waited two days -- halo would not go away -- then put my BestBuy Pt (Seidio) holster case on. The edges started to lift off even more -- another cm or so.

Back to the Sprint store -- they had nothing BUT the glass protectors in stock for the GN4. They tried to send me to the Zagg kiosk at the local mall to get a warranty replacement, but I kept asking questions and eventually they just took the protector off and refunded my money. Went to BestBuy right after that and got the Zagg HD. No halo effect.

BTW, I've seen many reviews of the glass protector that complain about cracking of the protector with little force.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tommyboy660:
Zag screen protector still.0.4mm thick

You all do realize that yes they may have fixed there issue but they are still in the thick protector category at 0.4mm thick which doesn't mean it makes it that much stronger only thicker. Spidgen is soon to come out with their new line of protecters that will only be a mere 0.15mm thick yet exactly the same strength guaranteed by Spider. Plus Corning who started it all with their patented Gorilla Glass 3 announced they've got Gorilla Glass 4 coming soon that will sport almost double the strength of for approx. $25.00 or in the mean time get yourselves a glass protector with all the exact same specs MInus the name brand which equals a price of about $7.00 shipped no warranty but how many of them can you buy Before totalling $40.00 to when the only difference is a warranty um qty 6 so you tell me what makes more sense here...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mitchellvii:
Well the only difference isn't the warranty. Zagg Glass is far superior to all of those Amazon glass products in many ways.

It has a special coating which is extremely oleophobic. That means when you try to wipe your greasy finger funk off the screen it doesn't just smear around. It comes completely clean in one wipe.

The glass has beveled edges.

The glass is exceptionally smooth to the touch with zero finger or stylus drag.

Yep Zagg is spendy but nothing else comes close to the quality.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mitchellvii:
Just talked to Zagg. The rep I spoke with said the problem is unfixable and Zagg will be bailing on the Note 4 altogether.

For me I only notice the halo effect with the screen off but I never look at the phone with the screen off.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sand1303:
Im thinking about this

iLoome ScreenMate Flex Flexible Glass Screen Prot…: http://youtu.be/RgcUMtgeZkM

The 2$ tempered glass one i got off ebay just wont cut it. It leaves too much open around the edges
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sliverr7x:
I just bought a tech21 screen protector and it is pretty awesome it's not a tempered glass but is a hard plastic like and is nice and smooth doesn't leave much fingerprint and covers just the digitizer so it's very case protector friendly. Give it a try I have been a long time fan of tech21 cases first time for screen protector but lovin so far only draw back is its 30 dollars and I had to buy mine at my local t-mobile store...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mitchellvii:
You know companies like Zagg and Tech21 must laugh themselves silly. They sell a little piece of plastic that probably cost them 15 cents to make for $30. The package it comes in costs them more than the product.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] sliverr7x:
It's all the Rd that cost them so much lol ya it's typical on everything now a days ship it to China and ship it back and still make a ton of profit
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] TechnicianOnline:
I didn't buy mine from Zag but at Amazon. It was $10 for the tempered glass, it has this halo effect and blew it off as a cheaper knock off which doesn't bother me much as the quality of the glass is actually built well and sturdy.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

This is exactly why I go with a cheaper alternative, as long as it's actual tempered glass I'm fine. The one thing that would flip my switch was if it had bubble defects, I wouldn't allow that but this halo effect isn't a deal breaker as it doesn't effect my view of the screen display. :cool:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] rey_1178:
The replacement I just received does the same thing. Think I'll just live with it but I still emailed customer support.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] adelmundo:
My Zagg does it, too, but the halo doesn't really bother me, I hardly notice it anyways.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] edutech2015:
Thanks for the interesting info.
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
If anyone here has tried to use an i.tech stereo headset (like the R35 or S35) or other A2DP headset and has been dissapointed with the sound quality (commonly referred to as a "ringing" distortion or hissing over the sound) using the A2DP for tornado hack, its because the MS Bluetooth Stack isn't 100% compatible with all (most) headsets. Its particularly noticeable on i.tech, but the reduced quality is true on many others as well.

In case you didn't know, Blueplayer is a standalone app that streams music to A2DP headphones even if the phone doesn't support A2DP in its own stack! That means any phone with bluetooth (some even claim older 1.1 devices as well) can bypass the usual MS stack in our devices and stream stereo sound directly to a compatible headset!

The software was written for Nokia S60 devices initially, but there have been Pocket PC and java versions (only compatible with specific phones) released since then as well.

I'm very annoyed by the sound quality of my itech R35 paired with my imate SP5. I'm 100% sure that software such as blueplayer would solve this problem. However, the PPC and java versions don't seem to work on my device.

Can anyone help me figure out how to make this work? I tried extracting the files from the PPC cab file, but its complaining about missing libraries. The install may add some things to the registry that I'm missing.

Better yet, does anyone have anything like this for WM Smartphone?
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
what are you missing? I got blueplayer running with my S35 and the quality is excellent and range good(for me)...

Unfortunately I am using a Wizard...
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
I wish I could get it working!

I can't figure out what it is, but I'm having trouble.

Normally I can make any app work (even if its for PPC) by pulling the files off of a PPC installation, and run the .exe on my smartphone and it just works.

But I keep get errors about libraries not existing or being in the wrong place. I need to figure out exactly what happens when the app is installed- what files go where, any registry changes, etc... There's gotta be a way to make it work on smartphone!
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
From memory,

There are a few files and registry settings that I can remember but barely, but if you want I can try to install it again. I removed it because I don't use MP3s anymore..
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
Yeah, if you don't mind helping me out, that'd be amazing (also for the smartphone community as a whole).

Why don't u use mp3's anymore?
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
I can just look up the settings for you, you got to do the work ;-)...

I find them too large for my 1Gb MiniSD, using AAC+ now... nice quality and file size.

Just PM me what you want to know...
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
Well, I don't know what kind of entries this will place in the registry. To be honest, I'm not sure how to check myself either. Is there a way to tell EXACTLY what a .cab does?
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
Found it!

Interesting program for those in my situation:

http://thinkabdul.com/2006/12/20/ms...nformation-from-windows-mobile-cab-xml-files/

lets you see exactly what steps a cab installation goes through. Any reg. items, what the actual filenames are, what directories they are placed in, etc...

Amazing little tool.

However, I still haven't gotten blueplayer to work on my sp5... I wonder why?
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
thanks for the link, I needed something like that as well, going to compare the differences in the Widcomm bluetooth hacks...

BTW, how do you get blueplayer to work on a smartphone anyway without the touch screen?
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
Oh, simulating a touchscreen is easy... most apps let you navigate using the joystick, but it gets annoying and sometimes a touch is needed to click (for example an ok button).

There's a great little app call SPhelper that places a mouse pointer on your screen that can be navigated using the directional joystick, and "clicked" like a screen tap.

Its pretty cool.

Anyway, the problem is that I can't get Blueplayer to operate, even with all the .dll files in the right places. It says its missing something.
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
Here's all I know:

I poked around in the .cab installation and found that there are 4 .dll's that go in the \windows dir (msibtstk.dll, msibtapi.dll, CHS.dll and TW.dll), and two .exe program files that go in program files\msi\blueplayer (STLoader.exe, and MPOBCE.exe). AFAIK, there don't seem to be any registry entries that it inserts.

Now, I've done this with PPC apps before, normally all I have to do is run the .exe after all files are in place, and it will work (obviously with some minor annoyances due to missing the touch screen).

However, every time I hit MPOBCE.exe, all I get is:

"Alert

Can't find MPOBCE or one of its components. Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available."

There's gotta be something I'm overlooking... Anyone?
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
No man, there are some(I found some) entries, but I thought you were set and removed them already..

will reinstall and get back to you again...

BTW do you do a full backup of your phone? I use SPB backup and it is good..
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
oh, cool, I couldn't find any... let me know!
[HTC Tornado] new2city:
entries but not sure if working...

Here are the two registry inputs(rename to *.txt) I found on my system.. Unfortunately, I couldn't get it to work this time as I am using Widcomm bluetooth stack... wonder why.... Last time I used this was with MS Stack on...
[HTC Tornado] Dishe:
No, that makes sense. The Nokia one is designed to operated by tunnelling through the s60 stack, and the WinCE version was most likely designed assuming the MS one.
