[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirky2k2:
Hi I've been trying to play some old games on my LG G3 on Mega drive (AndroGens) and Game Boy Advance (My Boy! Free, although I have tried others and got the same results) recently and while they all run fine with no lag etc I have noticed that I have to press and hold any button on screen for it to register that I've pressed it, its like about a half second to a full second delay, not a delay like I press it then it happens, I have to press and keep it pressed for it to work - I've got a Samsung S4 works phone and this works perfectly - the slightest touch does what its supposed to do - I haven't had to mess around with any sensitivity settings at all on the Samsung and even when I did on the LG it didn't make any difference has anyone else noticed this when using emulators on the LG G3?

PS I don't use a screen protector.

Is there any sort of resource to kind of get an idea of what all of the different CM12 based ROMs offer?

I do not like flashing on this phone, it seems really fussy, so trying to do some homework before I choose.
[Sprint LG G3] CyanJustice:
Best thing to do would be to traverse all the 5.0 threads and just browse them for the features, bugs, etc.
[Sprint LG G3] gorillaz1:
Yeah the hard part is the BlissPop and AICP ROMs don't have threads. I think there is another one too. But I'll just have to google harder I guess. Thank you.

I can tell you that out of all lollipop based roms I've tried, seems illusion is the most stable to me. One or two of the other ones, I kept getting dialer or phone fcs.

Also, if you check the T-Mobile g3 sub-forum, there are threads for most if the Roms to give you an idea. But, yes, I agree, it would be nice to have some dedicated threads. That said, I'm certainly not complaining. Pump ac7ion is doing great AOSP stuff here, as are others.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LXative:
I am a long time Verizon customer, and after a horrible customer service issue yesterday......I am looking to switch to AT&T.

I've been on the Note 3 since October of 2013 and absolutely love the device. Since Vzw is so behind releasing devices, if I switch to AT&T I am open to two devices I am interested in.......the Note Edge and the N6. Anyone of you come from a Note to the N6, that has owned/used the N6 long enough to give me some feedback, pros/cons? I am reading a lot of negative when comparing the cameras......but am aware the N6 is vastly improved from previous. One thing I really am most concerned about is screen clarity. Just hoped for anyones direct feedback that came from a Note and is live with their N6.

Concerns:

Screen clarity,colors, overall brilliance. Samsung has been superior IMO for the last few years. My Galaxy S Fascinate, my S3, now my N3......all in my opinion had the best appearance than any comparable phone on the market at the time of their release. It is one of the biggest deciding factors I've base my devices around for the last several years. I don't want to go backwards if the N6 is noticeably less.

No external memory slot. Even though I've had an issue with the last 3 Samsung devices involving the SD card, its still nice to have that storage available, especially when storing ROM's and backup data.

No removable battery. Again going back to flashing ROM's, I'm used to devices with removable batteries.....which is critical in some cases needing to do a battery pull. Perhaps you Nexus fans can reassure me this is a non-issue.....

TIA :cool:

I have the note 4 and gave it to my wife when the nexus came out. To be honest I regret it :) Note is way better display. Camera yes improved but Note is better then N6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b.huss2:
I had the Note 3 for a year. It was absolutely my favorite device I had owned yet. The Note series is great, one can't deny. I loved the large powerful device. I was so close to buying the Note 4, until I found out the Nexus 6 was coming with a 6" display. It was a no-brainer for me. I rarely ever used the spen so that wasn't a factor. I couldn't stand the idea of a rear facing speaker so the forward facing speakers on the N6 was a big plus. Power wise, well they are both power houses so no factor. Touchwiz vs pure Android, well for me pure Android was a big plus. Design of the N6 is very appealing to me. I don't have a preference, nor could I tell you the difference in the displays, They both look good to me. I can say from the Note 3 to the N6, the screen quality is at least as good. I have zero complaints with the camera. I mean it's a phone; if I want professional photos then I would use a camera. I guess in the end it's user preference but you asked for opinions/experiences so I thought I'd share mine. I don't regret nor even think about my decision to go with the N6. It's what I wanted.

Thanks.

Good feedback. The first reply definitely was a pretty clear opinion, but I'm happy to see a counter for the N6 with yours. I'm definitely going to go hands-on in a store tonight, but for those of you who have the N6 I feel can give better feedback since you are more adapted already.

Getting ready to add two more concerns to my OP .........keep the replies coming. :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonystarks260:
The N4 screen is brighter and cooler than the Nexus, but doesn't really offer any clarity benefit to me. It would be a better performer in direct sunlight though. I had both in hand for a couple weeks and in the end the Nexus was the right device for me. I prefer a stock android build and noticed many of the Samsung additions I either ignored or turned off. Your best bet is to think about the things that are important to you and then get some time in store with both to gain an understanding of how each devices handles those things. To me it came down to the fact that touchwiz just felt heavy (although it has come a very long way) and i wasn't really utilizing the S-pen the way i thought I would. I also like the ability to have access to factory images and the strong developer support within the Nexus community.

You cant go wrong with either though. I didn't dislike the Note, I just like the Nexus more
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LXative:
A ton of info surely in there, but that was pre-release for both devs. Surely there are hands-on replies in the current end, but that is a lot of sifting. I'll keep browsing it in daytime if I can't get what info I am content with here though, thanks. :good:

I have no concern about the storage. I am on the cloud for years now. All my pic and music on the drive and good music. once I feel the storage are full which I never seen it I clear my storage.

Battery on the note 4 is better. You can get almost 5 to 5 and half hours SOT. On the other hand nexus will get about 4 hours SOT.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmazingDave:
I haven't owned a Note, but I've played with a few. Most recently, I handled a Note Edge for a bit over the weekend. It is definitely a nice device. Did it have a bunch of features that made it a clear winner over the Nexus? No. The edge display, although a nice touch, felt rather gimmicky and overall not very useful. I also had problems with Touchwiz not responding properly to the stylus input. Maybe someone broke the stylus, but from what I've heard and seen about Touchwiz, my first impression was that it was bugging out. The rear-facing mono speaker sucks in comparison. Also I didn't notice anything special about the display.

In fact, I love the warmer color temperature of the Nexus 6. I'm surrounded by overly-cool LCD displays and fluorescent lighting in my office. The warmer colors of the Nexus 6 were a welcomed sight. Let's not forget that natural colors are actually warmer than your standard LCD display, and it's my opinion that the Nexus 6's display produces more true-to-life color than any of my LCDs, and the overly blue tint to Samsung devices.

There's no doubt that some may find the extra features of the Spen and Touchwiz interface a "better" experience, and some go ape**** over the changeable battery and SD slot, but are those few features worth the higher premium of a Samsung? No, not in my opinion.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theguardian99:
I switched from Note 3 to Nexus 6. Enjoyed the Note 3 a lot, but there where some things I disliked a lot.

1) these capacitive buttons are horrible. When using mhl adapter with TV you have no buttons on TV. They take a lot of space. Display buttons extend the display when watching videos or looking at pictures.

2) touchwiz. great - these features like multi window. I used them twice because they really are cool, but never again.

3) I liked the spen a lot. But after switching to Evernote I simply stopped using it.

4) Samsung & updates. *shakehead* when Samsung releases 5.0 for Note 4, Google releases 5.1. Let's not talk about when update will come to Note 3 which is one year old. Yes - I know. There is a beta from India you can flash but if you NEED your phone, will you flash a beta? It is simply horrible, that a one year old device is not treated the same in regards of updates as the current flagship. Everybody who pays 700€ for his Note 4 today has to keep in mind, that his phone will be treated as "old" in just one year. And it is even worse with the updates for tablets.

the hardware Samsung makes is the best on the market, but I want to keep my phone longer then one year.

I have my Nexus 6 now and am quite happy with it.

Greetings,

Elmar

I bought the Note 4 at T-Mobile the day it came out and I returned it after 2 weeks.

At first, it was great. Loved all the S Pen features. But then, I started noticing lag and stuttering thanks to TouchWiz. I rooted and debloated it, but it still had lag that I wasn't comfortable with. Other people are saying they don't notice it, but I returned it and bought the N6 when it came out. And I haven't looked back.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powdered_donuts:
I've had 2 of every note for my wife and I on at. If you absolutely need to flash and tinker go with the n6 its a great device. Otherwise I would stick with the note if you don't mind stock touchwiz. There is almost no Dev support on the 3 due to locked bootloaders and I don't think the 4 will be any better. All you can flash on the 3 is variants of stock and only with safe strap installed. Hashcode who developed safestrap no longer supports it so for the 4 there would need to be a new Dev working on things if that method will even work.

Tldr if you need to flash and mod go n6 if not go note 4. You have even less of a chance at Dev support on the edge. But they are all great devices!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jae2014:
The Note 3 is what I have had experience with as I have owned it since it came out last year. I haven't gotten the chance to play with the Note 4 but what I can say is that the Note series never disappoints.

As far as the carrier goes I really wouldn't recommend going with AT&T or Verizon because if you are looking to root your phone and flash roms it will be a hassle to do because of the locked bootloader. I recommend you go on the T-Mobile network instead.

I say the Nexus 6 and Note 4 are great devices they both have the same snapdragon 805 chip among other things so the difference would be whether you want touchwiz or not.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powdered_donuts:
DON'T FORGET if you can afford it, T-Mobile unlocked devices will work on att so there is that option. Also Verizon offer developer versions of the notes that aren't locked but are full price up front.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nismo591:
I had the note 3 and 4 on vzw, got the note 4 on release day and had it till I got my n6 3 weeks ago. I loved my note devices but I noticed some lag on them over time not bad by any means but more like hiccups. Always put on Nova launcher bc I hated touchwiz. Screen was brighter on note 4 but I don't mind the n6 screen. Camera at night isn't as good but in daylight the n6 focuses faster than the note 4. For what I like the n6 is the phone for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinezma99:
I own a T Mobile Note 4 and using on AT&T network. It works great with no issues.

I ordered a Nexus 6 with Friday delivery so can't fairly compare yet.

A few Note 4 things.

1. FireKat custom rom has made all the difference. It is stock TW tweaked to perfection. No lag and battery last 5 to 6 hours of SOT.

2. Screen on Note 4 is incredible.

3. We did get CM12 on Note 4.

The brilliance of the colors on the Galaxy phones is actually my preference. I am a hobby/amateur photographer, so I always have tons of my favorite pictures on my phone. Being you can actually control the tones/contrast settings.......that is all user interface, your preference. I've never noticed any blue tinting to any of my last several Samsung devices, interesting to hear that from another perspective. Thanks for posting up your experience, these are the kinds of posts I am looking for. :good:

Outstanding, this is a direct comparison for me.....since I'd be making the same change. And actually your 4 points directly relate to myself and my own preferences/experiences too. Thank you. :good:

I've had a few hangups here and there, and started out swearing I'd remain stock/OTA only (like a lot of us on here do). After about 3-4 months, and the lack of updates (thanks Verizon), I rooted. Of course limited due to being locked down, but the experience even without AOSP based ROM's was much better than stock. And I've always used APEX Launcher to avoid TouchJizz. Glad to see the N6 answered your concerns though, definitely adds to the +++ side for me.

I like exploring different ROM's for sure. I really can't understand why carriers lock their devices down and offer little or no different customizations. It'd be a different story if they would see what changes the dev's make (that we want) and give OTA options of the same. Even as simple as a toggle for flashlight.......

I would be all over T-Mobile if they had service where I work. But T-Mobile has no data where I live OR work......so unfortunately it is not an option for me. I am limited to Verizon towers and AT&T towers only. :(

If my own ignorance to this option of T-mob device compatibility on AT&T networks, I would have purchased my last device from them. Verizon has stuck it to me hard with my Note 3 and their customer service, and being I paid outright for this Note 3......its going to be hard for me to justify dropping that cheese on another device outright. Definitely will keep that in mind though, maybe even if I decide to shop Swappa. :good:

:good:

I should have bought the dev edition Note 3, but then again there is hardly any support on the Verizon end........so I'm actually glad I didn't. Still something to think about if I do shop Swappa.

Can you be specific as to what is so dramatic in the differences? If you have time, and don't mind? I'd love to hear what your experience has been. :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
The Note 3 was a good phone when I didn't know any better about Android when I bought it. The phone seemed fast compared to my S3 but it WS extremely limited in terms of modding which is what I hated. TW was always laggy for me (more noticeable when I used my Nexus 7 then used my Note 3). After a while it for extremely annoying to me that my Nexus 7 with its 1.7ghz process and 2gn or ram was faster than my 2.3ghz 3gb of ram Note 3. I was rooted running Nova launcher on it until I accidentally updated to kitkat. I lost root in the update and I decided that I would upgrade he phone when something better came along because the TW nonsense was not for me. I liked the dual window and the S pen was cool at first but then it became a gimmick. The physical home button started to click weird after 7 months and it was not ideal to use and felt primitive compared to the onscreen buttons of my Nexus 7 (2013)

I had mentioned modding earlier which is important to me especially with TW because there was a good amount of lag comparatively speaking. Others may have found the Note to EB fast, but have then use a Nexus or AOSP device and then use the Samsung. Its sad because it was nice despite its shortcomings. The camera focus was horrible in my Note, but when it did focus after much frustration it would take nice pictures. Now let's talk ergonomics, the Note is extremely boxy for a 5.7in phone. I like big phablets however the Note 3 was terrible to hold even with a minimal case. Then there was the camera which protrudes a good amount just like the S5, and Note 4 making a slim case a bad idea if you want to protect the camera lens.

My wife has the S5 and whenever I use it it's awful just like I recall my Note was. My wife used to love Samsung too, but she now likes the way Nexus devices are or any phones with on screen buttons and minimal bloat. (She's not s technology snob at all either) her phone lags and stutters even with the bloat disabled as much as possible. Back on topic with the Note 3 now, I decided that the physical buttons, non ergonomic design, bad camera focus, laggy software, slow updates, bloat galore and general lack of easy development/mods was too much. I then bought a G3 at the end of May last year and instantly loved it. LG's UI was nowhere near as heavy as Samsung's and the G3 became my favorite non Nexus devices. In fact I still use my G3 even thought I love my Nexus. I wasn't going to wait for the Nexus 6 or whatever I thought it would be called to come out because I was done with the Notes shortcomings. The best decision I ever made was to get rid of my Samsung phone. I like the Nexus and G3 and will get the G4 and Nexus phone next year unless LG screws up their nice design.

In the end it was more than one thing for me and I hopes this helps you. I don't hate Samsung, I just don't like their phones the way that I used to. I still have an awesome Samsung TV and LG TV in my house and a Samsung Ativ Book 9 Plus (i7 mode) but I won't but another Samsung phone the way they are now.

Note 2 to Note 3 and back to Note 2 here. People have covered most of it, but one point I would like to add on the battery life...

While my Note 3 lasted a bit longer, and my note 2 with jedirom lasted forever, the turbo charge is AWESOME. For someone that was concerned about no replaceable battery, I am actually happier with the speed at which I can regain charge.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmdauria:
My advice would be to go to the store and play the gray screen video that is found on youtube on the Nexus 6...I was in the store yesterday exchanging my Note 4. I had every intention of exchanging it to the Nexus 6. I went back and forth between both phones for over an hour before I decided to leave with a new Note 4. The screen burn in or image retention was just too much of a deciding factor. Even though it is really only visible in landscape and with pretty much that video playing...My OCD kicked in and I knew it would bug me every time I used the phone.

The way that I see it is if you absolutely need to flash a whole bunch of custom roms...all the time, then go with the Nexus 6. If you just want, hands down a better quality built phone then the Note 4 is the way to go!

*************The above statement is just my opinion...I know there are a lot of people that get all butthurt when you give an opinion on either phone*****************

Note 4 hardware wise beats nexus 6.

But if want stock android, go with nexus. I have several complaints about nexus but too bored with tw based roms and switched to nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H.Ahmadi:
I just received my Nexus 9 yesterday and liking few the stock Android rom. I still have my Note 3 which is the best device I have owned. Previously I had Galaxy S2 and then Galaxy S3.

Why the change?

I really got bored of touchwiz. I have seen the touchwiz with Lollipop update too but I dont think it is as gorgeous as stock android. So having the Note 4 would be similar story.

I went for the Nexus 6 even though I like the Note 4 screen more. I also have Galaxy Tab S 10.5 which has a similar gorgeous screen.

I like how the software is light on the Nexus. its fast and snappy.

I have GSam battery app on both the devices. on the Note 3 under system applications there are TONS of stuff going and draining the battery. The list is really long, While under the Nexus 6 there are only 6 system apps !! System apps draining the battery in Note 3 at 15% - 18% while on the Nexus 5% - 8% which is a big difference.

The Note 3 has lots of things that probably many wont use.

So you can comfortably make the switch if like me you:

1- rarely use the S Pen

2- Do not use much of Samsung apps.

3- Do not care for Multitasking apps on the same screen (I used it 2 -3 times since I bought the phone a year ago and did not like it much)

4- Bored from Samsung's Touchwiz and overall look

5- Fed up from bloatware on your phone.

Things to look for and note:

1- The whites on Note 3 look better than Nexus 6. In Nexus 6 they are more yellowish or light sepia but the screen is sharper.

2- On Nexus 6 the power button only shuts down the device there is no Restart

3- Build quality the Nexus feels more premium in hand and looks more elegant. I got the white color which is nicer and doesnt show finger prints. I like the silver metal surrounding the phone more than the bluish one on the dark Blue version. Note 3 feels good in hand too and a nice phone.

4- I never used a case with N3 as it is not a slippery as the N6

5- N3 is still more comfortable in hand compared to N6 as the width is narrower but I know I will get used to it.

I upgraded my note 3 to an N6.

I had the note for about a year, and before that a s3 and an HTC one.

I can't quite quantify this, but i love using the N6 like i loved the Htc one, and didn't love the Samsung devices... The note is very competant, and i don't have many complaints about it, but after a while, it was just.. There, messy homepages, etc.

Quantifably, I've found the N6 screen better, longer battery life, quicker interface. Much of this is down probably too android L being quite lovely, god knows why the other makers feel you need an overlay.

I thought the note 3 was a little less quirky though. As the N6 is at the forefront of the development, it picks up and little foibles.
