If we had an unlocked bootloader, I could build a kernel with a different governor and then CPU time would be 300 even more often. Imagine battery life then.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Suzook1:
dont want to post this in the dev section but would love to see all of the new L apps baked into a rom. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HtcOnekid:
They're unstable now I am sure once L is released all rom will have them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Suzook1:
Unstable? I've got then all running on my stock note 4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
i love my G3 and was content with it until i seen a good friend and noticed he had a note 4 i asked if i could take a look .. after about 10 mins i remember the pleasure of having the note 3 just something about the phone i cant explain. the screen gorgeous the movie i was watching on it looks GREAT ( transformers ) .. camera great on par with my g3

and i see hyperdrive is here for the note 4 ( used it on my note 3 ) that just about seals the deal for me .. my son wants my g3 he has the m7 so hes wanting the bigger screen and i can use his jump :P

just have to make up my mind on what color
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chrisrj28:
I'd say go with the dark one, the white looks too cheap in my opinion.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Temetka:
I have the charcoal black one. Looks great.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dukins:
Your opinion. I have the white and the white version looks clean, fresh, and not stale charcoal. But everyone likes what they like. :p
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
cheezy in da house!!

Get one of these things already, would ya?:cyclops::cyclops:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
I picked up a white Note 4 yesterday. I think it looks classy not cheap like the white iPhone 6. I'm tired of black and white phones though. I like the blue Nexus 6. I also was happy with my G3 but felt the need for Jump. LoL
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
you are one sick puppy...:cyclops::cyclops: I KNEW you would get one..

I got a white one too; It never matters what color you get, if you put a case on these things..

Actually, if you resell your phone, white always brings more $$$; but with Jump, it doesnt matter..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
I said I was going to get it and maybe return it for a Nexus 6 in two weeks. It will cost a 50 bucks restocking fee though. Lol. I'll have to see but like you I'm liking the Note 4 more then the G3. Note 4 screen pops more and just feels like a well made phone. Not saying the G3 feels bad.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
did you pawn off your G3 on your wife, or return it?

I predict you will keep the Note 4; its the finest "feeling" phone I can remember owning, maybe even better than my htc one Maxx that also felt fantastic in your hand..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
Yea wife has my G3. I said I need to flash a Rom for ya and she replied back saying no honey that will mess up my phone. Lmao.

I did have some issue last night with my N4. Not sure if it was because of the bar I was in or what. Or if it's a sim card issue or reception issue. Seems ok now. I downloaded a rom for the wife and it ate up her 1GB data quick so I couldn't compare the two phones. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
a bunch of people in florida/georgia were having signal and reception issues for the last week or two, but I dont know about ohio..

there are 5 or 6 nice roms for the note 4 already; I can't imagine how many there will be once more dev's grab this thing...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I am impress with the N4. I have black blackground on my phone bc if is black, then no lights its used hence save battery. I think the pixel is not turn on. Its really amazing. Its not dark grey.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
white note 4 in my hands ... updates ready to download should i take the update ... yes no will i still be able to root
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
I rooted then took update thru lies then rerooted

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Cicatrize:
I was also really torn on the color. My previous two phones were a white GS3 and a white Note3, and I loved them, but when I saw the Note4 white and black side by side, the black just looks better. The back feels a little "softer" too. Not sure why. I think you'll be happy with either, as they're both sexy. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
yes, take the update, then root
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] _-..zKiLLA..-_:
I played with one at the tmobile store yesterday for the first time and i actually loved it too. Definitely gonna be jumping when i have the money for the tax :p

I really hope the camera focuses as good as my g3s though
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] srimay:
Update and root. Also came from the g3. It was a great device, like the feel of it and I miss the rear buttons and tap to wake. However, I like new toys and considering I had a jump to use I figured why not? It's funny seeing all the same users from when I had the tmo s4. I figure this phone will get me thru till the g4 releases. Lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
Updated rooted and flashed custom ROM
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
pretty awesum phone, isnt it?

especially after you flash one of the custom roms out there..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
I think I'm going to run stock for a week or two. Only thing I miss from G3 is the double tap to turn on/off screen. Can you do that with Nova?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
no, but there is an app in the app store that does it..double tap or something like that..

here it is

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tap.screen.free&hl=en
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] melcali:
I got the white n4 after seeing it in person at best buy. I usually get black phones.

Usually, imo most white-faced phones look cheap but I guess the white sides and shiny chrome sides help compliment the front.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

With nova, you can set the screen to turn off by gestures such as swiping up... u just need to install an app that turns the screen off.

Instead of having google now/search open with the home button long press(which is default on n4), I changed it have the phone lock from any screen
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
I can't figure out how to set the gesture in Nova to swipe up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
nova settings/gestures and buttons, press swipe up, and it will present you a list of things you can do when you swipe up
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
So far battery is not impressing me lol I had better battery on my g3
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raw2000j:
For me is opposite my battery better on note 4 and wifi is stronger here for me
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
im in full LTE now :D so im hardly ever on wifi that could be why my battery is not as good lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sshafranko:
This what i get with stock kernel. I think its pretty good but not sure what you got on G3....honestly its all about your set up and what apps you have installed. Use Greenify for all the user apps, it helps in my case anyway.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
Note 4 battery is better for me and I'm not using WiFi. I think I can make it a day with my Note 4. I couldn't do that with my G3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raw2000j:
Lol I never got that.That's some nice ****

I get about 5 hours sot which I'm not complaining on gs3 I got about 3 hours and all apps greenfield and use wake lock detector I also checked accounts only things I need synced.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
i would get 20 + hours with 5 hours of screen time on my G3 note 4 gives me 15 with 2-3 screen time my note 3 gave me 36 - 44 hours with 6-7 or more on screen time
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raw2000j:
G3 gave me 3 hours sot and like 9 hours usage time note 4 gives me like 5 hours sot and 15 hours usage time
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pham818:
what rom
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sshafranko:
Darth but i got same on stock. I greenify all user apps only, freeze s finder email and exchange, also s voice if you dont use ok google command, and debloat all things i never use. I also turn my brightness down considerably indoors to maybe 25, 30%, and thats it. I normally look st running apps in aplication manager and whatever is there running that i dont use i remove or freeze. Hence why i freeze the above apks they are always running in back, whether they use a considerable amount of battery or not, dont care as i font use them. BTW new 5.0 email has option to use your exchange account so no need for email or exchange on your phone
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hello00:
welcome aboard cheezy and i also had better battery on the g3 only problem im having slow speeds
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CheesyNutz:
Data speeds are fine battery has improved

Still not what I had on my note 3 but improved
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nano303:
The charcoal black is the one I got. I love how smooth the back is. It's not to plasticity like my white note 3's it's smooth as s#$%. Actually feels premium in every way. Love the trim around evn tho no matter how careful you are it will get scratched
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] spirodave:
The white may seem cool but the black one makes the screen pop more . Its just like tan skin makes peoples teeth look whiter.LOL weird analogy but its so true with this phone
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
I think the white pops with the silver. Was tired of black phones.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
my thoughts exactly
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
I've got a few compliments on the white Note 4. I was at Olive Garden Sunday and pulled my phone out to show him a free app I had on it and the server was said "is that the Note 4 that's a nice looking phone". lol I have a car mount that I put my Note 4 and like looking at my phone. hehe I just have to be really careful with the phone since I'm carrying it nakid. I always set the phone down really lightly since it's heavy. On my desk the Note 4 sets great in the free LG battery cradle. I need to get the wireless receiver so I can charge the phone on my Tylt charger.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
if/when you get the wireless charging working, will you post what you are using to make it happen?

I havent seen a decent, affordable wireless charging solution for the phone yet

thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
This is my G3 on my Tylt wireless charger. I think you might be able to find them on Amazon or Ebay. I know they have another one just like it but forget the name. I haven't checked the Note 4 accessory section out yet. I would think you can find the receiver that place under the back cover on Ebay or Amazon. I think I got my G3 one from china. I got the charger at T-Mobile on sale but I doubt they have anymore.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rayan:
That's the nature of AMOLED displays. However try not to abuse the display under high brightness and try not to leave the phone face up on your desk and under direct sun light because UV light deteriorates the display.

Otherwise a great display!

Cheers!

I also like white ones much better, however for some strange reason, every white phone (HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Apple) tend to develop tiny (and not so tiny) cracks or discoloration over time. Especially on the screen bezels (if present) or near ports.

However this time Samsung learned the lesson with the S5 Alpha and Note 4 with the metallic frame.

Cheers!
[Verizon LG G3] PatMan1234:
Hi, today i tried to install a custom rom on my verizon lg g3. I have rooted my phone and installed a backup but after i installed the rom and it said success i rebooted it and now it is stuck with the start screen and a Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify message on the upper left corner. And when i went back to recovery my backup rom was gone. Plz help
[Verizon LG G3] luke1987:
Which ROM?
[Verizon LG G3] PatMan1234:
ZoneROM
[Verizon LG G3] GrzlyAdms:
I could certainly be wrong, but i have not heard of "ZoneROM" for VS985. I think you're either in the wrong device forum (this forum is for the Verizon lg g3: Vs985) or you've flashed a ROM that was meant for another device... Development for the VS985 is still pretty limited with only a few Roms available now.
[Verizon LG G3] acparker18:
Like others have said, ZoneRom is not for the VS985 so you may have flashed a rom not meant for our device. If you flashed an incorrect rom then I am unsure what may have happened. Never flash roms not intended for your specific device variant my friend. Now, that being said, if you do actually have the Verizon G3 VS985, you can try to restore to stock using this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/restore-verizon-to-stock-t2827878

You could also just flash another rom within TWRP and then see if your backup shows up anywhere once you boot. You could also download Disk Digger and try to recover the backup if it was lost, but success for that amount of data is not guaranteed.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] whitigir:
So I love the Z3 Music a lot. Some headphones are just too weak, or not loud enough. This Z3 with the capability of playing High-res music is outstanding. Together with walkman app. It is truly a high-res music playing device.

My advise: Look for some headphones with higher DB or sensitivity 103+ db, and lower impedance < 16 ohm (ohm) I have been collecting headphones for a while now. Different tastes, genres, style. The two that I like the most here are

JVC HA-FX40. This can be purchased online from reputable retailer. I like Adorama. This is a bassy headphones with clear mid, and clear high. It does need some extended burn in hours. Recommended 100 hours

ATH-IM70. This too can be purchased online from reputable retailer. This is also a bassy headphones with great details and extensions + imagine. This can beat many headphones in the 2-3 x price range. The best thing = it sounds very natural, and organic.

Both of those above headphones can provide quiet an ear piercing volume with your Xperia Z3 and an Amp is not needed. Especially the ATH-IM70. The ATH-IM50 is also good, and much cheaper, but is with ways more bass.

A bonus about the IM70/50 = removable cables. You can buy cables with inline mic for calls and control from lunashops.

If any of you have any better headphones, please recommend them here. :good:

The next thing you would want = to find your high-res FLAC music files. Good luck guys

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] lezius:
I use the shure se215 an like them. They are better than my previous bose I2E : better sound (much my taste), better noise canceling, and better cable quality.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] jug6ernaut:
Yours came with these? Arg, jealous! I plan on buying these.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] wkrs:
New z3c owner and really pleased with the sound quality. I'm using Soundmagic E30's which give a really clean, crisp reproduction. Not the strongest bass but that's obviously a matter of preference. I'm sure there's better headphones out there for home listening but I run a lot so need something which can cope with the elements, as well as weight too much or not fall out.

Specs:

Driver:Dynamics 9mm Neodymium Driver

Frequency range:15Hz~22KHz

DC Resistance:12±10%Ohms

Sensitivity:94±2dB at 1KHz/mW

Also sounding great on the X-Mini II portable speaker. Have not been this happy with a purchase in a long while!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] tesla45:
Huge soundmagic fan. The ES18 and E10 are both great. ES18 are a steal at their price. I love my E10M but doubt the remote will be fully compatible with the Z3c, so I'll probably have to give the Xiaomi Piston 2.1's a try.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] war1:
For me the best headphones:

Monitor ATH-M50X http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=39&prodID=4596

Portable ATH-CKR10 http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=5&subID=38&prodID=4668
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] whitigir:
Actually the ATH-50MX signature is almost the same as ATH-IM70. Also, if I don't mistaken the 50M is 38 ohm, while the IM70 is only 10 ohm. You can drive the IM70 on the Z3 without the need of an amp. I, and other headfi-ers since had refer to IM70 as the portable version of 50M.

CKR-10, I have never tried, but very interested in it review. Let me know if you have had that chance
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Dsteppa:
Not trying to drop a bomb in here or something.

I use the ATH-M50 and the BRAINWAVZ M1 IEM, but in my opinion no matter what ear/headphones you use they will never sound REALLY good without Viper4Android.

For now that's the only thing that I'm missing on my non rooted phone.

I must say that the sound comes close when I use the ATH-M50 with the Fiio E11k headphone amp, but it still feels as if something is missing.

So once we can root our phone without losing our DRM stuff I'd suggest everyone to look into Viper4Android

If you think Clear audio makes the phone sound nice, you'll be blown away by Viper4Android :good:
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] pipspeak:
I've not found the volume is too low at all. I primarily use Westone 3 earphones and the volume is usually at about 50%. However, I'm spoiled by normally using them with a Meridian DAC so the Z3c sounds a bit flat by comparison even with the Westones' sparkly high-end and punchy bass. I might try getting a OTG cable and see if I can get my Meridian Explorer DAC to work with the Z3c.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] MistProtocol:
I dropped $50 for the Sony noise-canceling headphones that work with the Xperia Z series. They're fantastic. By far the best in-ear headphones I've ever used. Comfortable and the noise canceling really does work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Crewville96:
I've been curious about these. They are the NC31's (or whatever they're called) right?

Two questions:

1) when u put them in, and noise canceling is on with no music or anything, what does it sound like? Is everything muffled or just really quite but u can still understand people or what?

2) what's the bass like? I listen to a lot of electronic music, good bass is essential. Not just deep, but clear and without distortion.

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] MistProtocol:
Let me get back to you on both of those, as they're not things I pay close attention to (bass is really only important to me when listening to John Deacon's Queen songs).
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Pyres:
Me too, they're awesome!

1. If you choose the right size of the earbuds, everything is extremely quiet even if you do not actually connect the headphones. Connecting them and turning on the noise cancelling feature just makes it more silent, as it muffles and cancels out the remaining sounds. A person standing next to you and talking to you (not screaming, of course) can't be understood, unless you read his lips.

2. Never had any distortion with all kinds of music, even with high (too high) volume. Of course, we're talking about lossless tracks. I can't vouch for MP3s.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] stethewino:
Cheapo is best

I think that reading everyone's comments about different phones my view is it is all down to the great Z3 sound system and that even some of the cheapest pair of in ear phones can give a brilliant and clear sound.

Myself i don't like to much heavy base.

If you go into the settings on your z3 make sure you have ticked to use the Clear Audio+ and Dynamic normalizer also tick Hi-res audio via USB and under headphones general you can pick up to 6 Sony Types to choose.

I personally use a cheap pair over the ear type and they have a great sound. They are not a closed type as i like to hear whats going on around me when outside. I always listen Pink Floyd,Joe Satriani,Steve Vai,Tangerine Dream etc,etc

[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Gabewithkungfugrip:
Several reviews that I've read online for the Sony MDR-NC31EM noise cancelling headset have pointed out poor in-call performance (bad mic, bad mic position, and no call button). Can you guys with this headset speak about the call functionality please? My z3c shows up tomorrow, and I'm guessing that I'll be in the market for a headset to go along with it. Cheers.

Edit: Also, how is the OEM headset that comes with the phone (D5803)?

Does anybody have some experience with AKG Y50? What do you think about those headphones?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] lobie81:
These aren't in the same ball park as most of the other suggestions on here, but if you're after something decent but cheap, I'm really happy with the Panasonic RP-HBE125MEK's that I bought for my Z3C. They are very bass-y which may not be to everyone's taste. Volume is good. Extremely comfortable to wear. And the orange cable is exactly the same colour as my orange Z3C :p
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] uniqwieczor:
I've been using AKG 518 for a couple of years now and I can highly recommend them. Especially if you are into some electronic music. :) The bass is nice and deep, they are comfortable, compact, very durable and cheap. And the color is black, as my Z3C :)

Also the Sony MH 750 that came with the phone are more than satisfying.
