Gear and Lollipop - disaster

I've been using my Galaxy Gear 1 with Nexus 5 for 7 month. Thanks to user BRANDO and his log I installed 1.6 version of Gear Manager.

One week ago Lollipop update has arrived and ... arivederci... old version of Gear Manager is impossible to install from now on.

I expect that all this happened due to Lollipop uses ART run-time only (no switch to Dalvik available).

Now I'm in despair... maybe in time developers will find a way to install properly new Galaxy Manager on Lollipop :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] snickersnee:
Hey SlavKor, I am sorry to hear that. Can you post a link to BRANDO's log? I'm still running KitKat but have not been receiving full text notifications for the last few updates, and maybe this would work for me? Sorry I can't be of help to you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
I am undecided on this device or the Nexus 6. However, I was leaning more towards the T-Mobile Note 4 for use on AT&T. I have been reading through these forums, along with the AT&T Note 4 forums. The three major issues I have been reading on are:

1. Screen uniformity issues (apparently common among AMOLED panels) Many have complained about a pink tint or residue on certain portions of the screen when viewing whites. Others have also complained that certain sections of the screen are cooler and have more of a blue tint. I have read very few actually state they got perfect screens. These AMOLED issues seem to be more prevalent in the Black Galaxy Note 4s (the color I wanted, too). I have also noted that some are complaining about graininess in their displays. Why does one of the "best" displays on the market suffer from these issues?

2. Headphone output? Its been no secret that almost every Samsung Galaxy flagship had very low volume, but apparently the Note 4 takes it to a new level. The volume with headphones plugged in, when using the stock music app is so low, it apparently is half the volume of the iPhone 5S. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. I understand about volume mods and roms, but not everyone has time to mess around with that. I also refuse to carry around an iPhone and Note 4 just to get a good listening experience.

3. LAG? Apparently Samsung's TW is still lagging and stuttering just like its predecessors before it. Of course with the Note 4, "its not bad, and much improved", yet still there. When launching apps there are noticeable delays. Using the hangouts app produces quite a bit of stutter, and using the multitasking view.

I believe if anyone is going to drop $750+ dollars on a phone, they should not have to spend time "fixing" the above issues. I really hope that I am WRONG about these issues, because honestly, there really isn't much more to choose from when it comes to phones this year. The Nexus 6 display is lacking, and so is battery life. What's left? iPhone 6 Plus? Nah.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twe90kid:
LOL go buy the iphone...

I don't have problem with headphones and it's louder than ever.

Don't have screen problems either..

Also no lag at all.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
That's what I wanted to hear. No iPhone for me, nope not no way, not no how. I will not overpay for a limited device like that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwsoccjs:
Yep got mine on preorder never had an issue with screen, if stock is bad no reason to mod download powerapp which is one of the best music players, go to settings and put outpt to the highest and promise to impress, and literally just downloading nova will get rid of most if an lag. Youll be fine and appreciate the phone more.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
After reading the thread on the display issues, I was quite worried. It seemed rare to get a perfect display. Of course I am sure majority of people do not have perfect displays and just don't notice it. This is why I prefer IPS panels instead of AMOLED.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wase4711:
unless you suffer from OCD, ignore all that non sense and buy the damn phone; its the phone of the year, by a LARGE margin, period
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
No problems with the phone from me. Screen is perfect, volume is plenty loud (way louder than any iPhone), lag is a non issue.

This phone does everything and does them ask well. I do have a custom ROM on it, which make a difference. If you want to buy a phone and leave it stock you should look at a nexus 6 a Motorola X or an iPhone. This phone is way better rooted with a custom ROM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
Well rooting and flashing roms can be an amazing thing. It's just that I did that before with my S3 and S4 and I was always changing roms, never keeping anything lol. It also got annoying have to re-setup everything all the time when updates came. I think you could get into trouble by dirty flashing.

How is your signal reception? Do you use T-Mobile? How is the GPS accuracy?

Always the black man, I am offended samsung ....#sue

...and honestly, if you are not willing to try the phone hands on you have no right to complain about it. touchwiz will always lag next STOCK android. it is no DIFFERENT next to an lg, xperia, and htc is SLIGHTLY (thats a stretch) better in the lag department because it is the CLOSEST to stock android.

With all your complaint, either go buy an iphone or go buy a nexus device because 3rd party manufacturers are not for you lol. feels like im back on the lg g3 forum all over again with posts like this...that should tell you something....complaints are UNIVERSAL until you buy the damn thing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
Well if I could gather some respective opinions first before going out and spending $750+ then I'd rather go that route. Not too mention, if the phone does not work out for me, I'd have to pay T-Mobile a $50 restocking fee. So excuse me for using a "forum" the way it was designed.

Third party manufactures are not a bad thing, however, after using the S3 & S4, I have noticed a slow down or lag when it shouldn't be there, given the specs. I have read various reports of the Note 4 doing the same thing, so I figured I'd ask.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
Using Tmobile Note 4 on AT&T. I get full LTE everywhere. I actually get faster speeds than the AT&T model on AT&T got.

Have absolutely NO GPS issues. I don't know where that complaint came from, I leave my location settings on this phone to "Device only" which means it doesn't use the WiFi or cell signal to locate me at all and have still never had any issues.

With the device on "high accuracy" it locates you instantly.

Not to mention the battery life on this thing is absolutely insane.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
Thank you for your opinion. Can I ask when you bought the T-Mobile phone if you had service through them? I am reading that before the device is unlocked it first must be activated and used on its original carrier.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Lol, see it how you will im just stating the hard cold fact on the matter.

Point im trying to make is that EVERY single manufacturer will have the issue you just stated, thats the plain cold fact. Heck, even Nexus is having the complaints you are currently having.

Its a lottery my friend. If you are one of the unlucky ones you will end up with the unlucky device. If you want to nit pick at everything, you will end up with an unlucky device because you will always see something wrong.

See where I'm getting at?

The phone is great, it does not lag the way you are making it sound. I got zero screen issue and I'm satisfy with the sound of it...ITS LOUD. Unless you want your ears to bleed, the Note 4 is not for you. You want to use it as a boombox...the note 4 is not for you. It is smooth for what we KNOW to expect from samsung. They got so many things on here that needs to load and given the time they do and the tweaks I have on my phone, I'm satisfy and will forgive it. If you can't forgive it, than go grab an iphone or a nexus. We can bash on iphone all we want but their optimization is brilliant! They and google do so damn good job at it and make every other phone look like crap next to them (...nexus that is, im giving too much credit to icrap here lmao!) as far as "lag" is concern.

Also to make another note, most of the lag complain you see also deals with google apps. For some odd reason the only phone google apps (especially hangout) work flawlessly on are nexus devices, any other you will see lag. Nave samsung apps are FAR SUPERIOR in smoothness next to hangout. Using it make my phone feel like a cheap second rated phone
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
I appreciate that. You are right about every manufacturer having its issues. When I tried the iPhone 6 plus, it lagged too. But not as bad as my previous experience with Samsung devices. Perhaps "lag" isn't the right word. I guess the right word would be stutter. I always found the animations to be a tad jerky on Samsung devices, despite awesome specs. Hopefully its as improved as everyone here is making it out to be.

Its a shame though they don't make the headphone volume go louder. :/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Well considering best buy has them to demo and so does TMOBILE. I say hit the stores and you decide. So many threads about the phone not being perfect. Also every phone cost 500 plus so it not that big anymore. A smartphone comes with a smart phone price. U need to see for your self. I love it my boy hates it. It your money you need to go and see.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlockEight88:
The only thing with going to Best Buy and T-Mobile is that they have demo versions running on the phone, which can slow everything down.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android_Monsters:
Honestly, you should just buy a note 4. Nothing else now or in the near future compares.

My headphones are too loud. If there is such a thing.

Screen is what everyone I show the phone notices. In a good drooling/jealous way.

I've never had a phone with less lag.

I am custom however. Firekat v4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btort1:
There is nothing wrong with the screen or the headphone jack.

And also there is little to no lag but it's there. And the google hangouts lag you speak of, it's actually the app itself that lags because I tried it on 3 different phones and even a m8. What lags REALLY bad is when you search for a name and text it, it takes 3 to 5 seconds to find it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgbeezr1:
If you're observant enough to notice uniformity issues on most examples of an AMOLED panel, you're likely to have issues with most IPS screens too. Granted, some people have gotten units that are obviously bothersome, I've had the issue too on past devices, but an exchange always solved it.

LCD just never compares - there's no substitute for contrast and color saturation. The second you power on your new LCD and notice the background is grey and hazy instead of black, you'll want to go back.

The iPhone screens are nice for LCD too, but they're still just LCDs. ...ZZZzzzzz

Also, "Touchwiz lag" is a cliche at this point...something people complain about due to years of tech-hysteria over milliseconds. Anyone who really has a glitch over perceived Touchwiz lag needs to decrease their Adderall dosing.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
I bought the phone. It was a bit of a process but easy. You have to have a service plan for them to sell you one. So I signed up for the phone and the cheapest plan they would get me. Then went home and called Tmobile customer care and paid the balance of the phone off. Then went to cellunlocker and got an unlock code. Then for the next day or so I used it on AT&T to make sure it had no problems. Then I called up Tmobile and canceled my plan with them.

I've had screen issues(replacement is on the way) but other than that this phone kicks ass. The nexus 6 has gotten really lacklucker reviews.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siraltus:
100% agreed. All these posts are people obsessing over things that may not even be there (screen issues). My Note 4 has a PERFECT screen (and I know what a bad screen looks like, had an iPad with purple at the top and yellow at the bottom, Apple swapped it for a perfect one though), it's plenty loud, and it has no lag at ALL.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjm00:
No issues with mine. And I'm overly critical of display quality. I haven't noticed any issues with the volume either and no lag.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
One thing some don't realize about evaluating stutter/lag is that sometimes an activity where lag is perceived is reliant upon external resources which will add an inherent delay in displaying things due to latency and connection speed. Trying to enter the stock gallery through the image icon on the bottom left corner while in camera mode for example will be met with some lag and it's worse if you have cloud based sources enabled in gallery. Even with them off though I still see a couple of seconds of delay before gallery pops up. I refuse to replace the gallery application though because for once I've found a device where a good workflow exists to go from camera to a fully edited photo with my favorite effects (crops, vignettes, blur, etc.) applied without having to dumpster dive into multiple editing apps to get it.

Another example is comparing web browsing between platforms. Different platforms and browsers will render things differently so if a browser is stuttering while the user is trying to scroll because not all elements of a page have loaded yet that's not exactly a fair evaluation of the device, especially if the user's internet connection is slow.

Apple does a great job buying itself some time for applications to load LOL. The fancy transitions between apps are buttery smooth and help to pass the time, however short it may be. Android still struggles with this.

All that said, this phone is fast and I love it. I haven't rooted it yet but plan to. I'm actually surprised I've lasted this long without root LOL. Usually I root within hours of purchase, it's been 2 weeks . .
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
There are some minor lag issues (recent apps, jumping from camera to gallery, some choppy scrolling here and there) but they're nothing to get all worked up about. Certainly nothing to keep you from buying the phone.

As for the headphone jack, no issues. Screen's perfect - in fact, more than one person has commented on how amazing the screen is (and yes, it is uniform, no tint or weird areas)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nano303:
I have 0 issues with my headphone jack. 0 issues with lag even on TouchWiz I will admit I had lag in like the first two weeks, and that screen problem worth mentioning as well. Had off whites but not no more. Everything looks great and works great.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] railshot:
My second Samsung AMOLED device. Screens were fine on both of them. N4's screen is gorgeous compared to my old phone (G3).

I occasionally use headphones with N4 while working in a laminar flow hood. Apart from fan noise, there is also a strong stream of air rushing past my ears. About 80% volume is plenty for me (podcasts and such).

It's not as silky smooth as a bare naked AOSP Nexus, but comparable to other phones with customized Android. Using a 3rd party launcher eliminates most of the stutter. Recent apps button is still slowish though.

Big reasons to get N4 over those two are: expandable storage, removable battery, S-Pen.

HATE

this phone. ~I have had this piece of crap for over a month, STILL cannot get my email to work (primary ISP email, IMAP, no issues setting it up on my Note 3 - could start GMail and switch back and fourth and get notifications), primary ISP says ask Google, Google says ask Samsung, and or both of them refer me back to my ISP.

EDIT: So, I called my ISP AGAIN, and this time (unlike the other times) I get someone who has a Note 4 and has battled with this same issue. Turns out, there is some kind of authentication glitch on their end, and he had me do some strange round about way of setting up my email account on my phone. When presented with the password option in the GMail client, he told me to delete my actual P/W and then hit choose authentication method, then use Google login (they use Google mail), this took me to my ISP's login gateway and I put in the EXACT same info...BUT IT WORKED. He isn't sure why this is...but whatever, anyways...

I still very much dislike the cartooney crap menu system (system menu's), TW is still a laggy piece of s***, the battery is fast to charge, but equally fast to drain.

Yeah, this part still stands.

Ohhh, and something else...WHY is it that the black version and the white version have different looking software on them? I have the black, my wife has the white - her menu's are completely different. When I hold the key to the left of the physical key I get a pop up that I can go to the system menu, but her's will not do that, you have to pull the status bar down and hit the little gear symbol...WHY???

I'm only aggravated because I never had this much trouble with my 3, and I'm tired, and finals are coming up and I'm cranky.

EDITED: See edit notes above.

Mail syncing problems have nothing to do with the phone. That's definitely a software issue, most likely on your companies end or Gmail app issues. Try another app. If you are getting lag you are in the minority. I have no lag at all. Try a new ROM.

The battery issues is probably related to your email syncing not working. Today's battery stats from my phone below. Almost no phones on the market can top that. I

IPS AMOLED sshamomo led. Means nothing to me. I bought a Note 3 last year, was perfect, Bought a Note 4 last week, pink on right and yellow in lower left side as was the stores demo unit. Now having a hard time getting the store to replace it, firstly they claim they cannot see it, it is hard to see it under their lights. The store would rather sell their limited stock to new customers and or upgrades . I have another 7 days to make a decision whether to return it or not. If I do return it they best not charge me a restocking fee for a duff phone.

As for the earlier iPad iPhone comments, I fled iDevices for this very same reason, yellow and pink tints galore on those. Now on this FML!

You can do warranty exchanges through 611 for 5$ a pop. They are sent to you next day shipping and are brand new at the moment. I tried twice and both times got much worse displays. Thinking of just keeping mine - slight pink tint on white webpages/apps near the bottom. Only really noticeable if it's in a non bright room and particularly if I'm looking at text on it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Negative, called earlier today to 611. The rep started to encourage me to go back to store and that the phones supplied would be refurbished ( not that it matters to me ) then once she realized I didnt want to goto store and I was willing to accept a refurb she flat out told me they had no stock. So now I am left with another pink screened Note 4. Like yourself, the 2nd was is ever so slightly better but not to my acceptable level.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
From the picture posted it looks like the brightness is turned down (this may be due to the picture itself). Do you still see the pink tint when the brightness is turned up? It's not uncommon to have a slight pink tint when at low brightness because of the way AMOLED screens work. Red LEDs take the least power to drive so they end up brighter than blue/green when a low amount of power is applied.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
The picture posted was my original device. The replacement is similar but the red pink hue is now on the bottom 40 % percent of the screen primarily. You are absolutely correct about the brightness level coming in to play. On max brightness the pink hue is almost negligible, however still present but acceptable. My conditions pertain that I use brightness at below 50 percent most of the time thus resulting in me having issues with the panel quality at this time.

Thank you for the explanation was appreciated.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No issues at all here!

I had 2 note 3's and now a note 4.

I have listened to headphones religiously for about 15 years, almost full volume the whole time. Also a musician that was gigging often and hosting shows/open mics. My hearing is mostly shot but still have to keep the volume off max to be comfortable.

On all devices the screen was always insanely beautiful. Never a single issue.

As for the lag, yup. Always had issues with stock Samsung garbage. I rocked the Slim rom on my Note 3 and loved it. Lag, gone.

Before the Note 3 I had the Nexus 4 and was in love with it. Why didn't I get the 5? The Note 3 had a stylus. I don't use it, but it is there if I want to. Saw the Nexus 6 at Tmo when getting the Note 4 and it is wet your pants pretty. Still, no stylus. If you want options, you want the Note. Would you run off for a month in the woods with a toe nail clipper or a swiss army knife?
