I have created the ultimate Tank of a phone.

Using:

- http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note_4-6434.php

- http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11922

- http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/sd/extremepro-sdxc-sdhc-uhs-3/

- http://zerolemon.com/product/zerole...lack-zero-shock-hybrid-protection-case-black/

I've assembled the ultimate high powered phone:

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910F, 512gb SD card, 10,000 mAh battery.

View attachment 3087959

The card works no problems, however, only the Snapdragon variant of the phone will mount these SD cards. Had an N910K Exynos version, and it does not mount the card, so is not usable this way, probably some driver difference, the Snapdragon works with these big cards without any problems.

View attachment 3087965

Using the phone for everything all day long, the ZeroLemon battery is a blessing. The case is well done, soft rubber, so the card fits in well, with just a slight bump protruding on the back.

View attachment 3087968

View attachment 3087969

View attachment 3087970

The phone is massive, well suited for big hands.

Performance-wise there is no equivalent in today's phones. It goes on forever, holds the most data you can put on a mobile device hands down.

This mod follows my prior Note 3 mod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239413

[Galaxy Note 4 General] flatronics:
can we call this "Industrial Grade Note 4"? ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 白い熊:
Dimensions:

- height 16.4 mm

- width 8.9 mm

- thickness 2.1 mm, with the bulge where the card is at 2.5 mm

I'll weigh it later.

Regarding charge, depends what you consider normal use. I use the phone all day long constantly, so that regular battery will last only half a day, this is the whole day with a lot of juice to spare, so no worries that the power will run out. I recharge it every night...

I remember having the Note 2 and ZeroLemon and the OP did the equivalent to this back then. If you're going ZeroLemon, I say why not go for extra storage too.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] 白い熊:
Like I said. The Snapdragon N910F supports 512GB SD cards. The Exynos only 128GB on boot.

The Exynos version will read 512GB cards if plugged in to the micro SD slot with a card reader, but will not mount the card in the card slot on boot. The Snapdragon does so prob...

Cool to see a post about this already. I started with my Note 3. See here...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54120346&postcount=36

For those rightly concerned about the price, this allows you to get an SD card which is generally better performance and cheaper, compared to the same size MicroSD.

For those asking about how this can be filled quickly, on mine I record internet radio for perfect playing and carry lot's of iT files on it. In addition to that I have all my pictures on it.

This battery has also basically replaced the portable battery I used to carry around. With a USB OTG adapter my phone is a backup battery.

One of the reasons I use the ZeroLemon battery is that the case allows for the SD card to be hidden. See attached pictures...

Whats the battery life like ? I imagine 15-18 hours of screen on time ? Probably a week of use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Renae27:
It's working perfectly. The NFC receiver is on the ZeroLemon battery, just as it is on the original battery. I am actually going to make a slight mark on my outer case so I know the exact centre of the receiver.

I'm not sure about your usage, but I typically use my mobile to track movement (Ultra GPS Logger and Ulysse Speedometer Pro) and play streaming music (256 Kbps streams, sometimes less, on A Online Radio) to BlueTooth headphones. This is about 30% to 40% of my weekday usage, and today by chance. I usually plug in at night with about 70% to 60% remaining, but sometimes have gone about 48+ hours without plugging in (I will use 'Power Saving', but not 'Ultra Power Saving', when critical to get an extra 2-4 hours). Right now I have been on battery for 13h with 64% remaining and an estimate of 28 hours left with screen-on and 4 days with screen off.

Thanks for sharing your mod. I found these adapters can be made to fit with the smaller extended batteries like the hyperion.

The sandisk 512gb sd card I used seems sensitive to the adapters where lower capacity cards don't have issues. I went through 2 other adapters until I found one that worked. My other 64gb card worked with the other adapters.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Crazy phones! Nice job on all your mods. All I've done is stick a Wireless coil in my Note 4 and slapped the LED case on it while using tinfoil for the fifth pin.

Awesome post. I started to do this but the adapter is flakes out when bending the contacts. I shaved the area exactly like you did as well. Can you link which adapter you used? Also, have you run speed tests? I've curious as to which is faster, a higher end sd card (on paper I know it can be) vs a 128gb or 200gb micro sd card. Prices are coming down, trying to figure out best option. Thanks!

have you confirmed this personally? If so, what variant did you use? did you test it beyond mounting? did you play files off of it?

did you use the sd to micro sd adapter? or was this OTG?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
I tested it on my LG G2x and Samsung Galaxy S2 which are even older than the s4. Only reason your having doubts about it is because your told on the box it can support up to 64gb cards which were the limit of SD cards at that time.

7500mAh user here, using this battery for a year and I don't have problems. I had this problem with original battery.

Enviado de meu GT-I9505 usando Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
The zerolemon 10000mah is a tri-cell battery not a single cell, so our note 4 doesn't accurately gauge battery levels with it. A fix was developed and compiled with the BioShock kernel, and has since been incorporated into emotion kernel. Suggest using Emotion if you're noticing issues with the zerolemon.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xAk MoRRoWiNdx:
What does that mean? I joined XDA for cool tech info but I really don't know anything people post on the site. Does that mean I have to buy a new battery or something?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] manbat:
The Zerolemon battery will work fine for you. All you have to do is power the phone down (not reboot) when the percentage is showing about 20%. Leave it off for a few minutes and power back on. Power Guage will go back up to about 75%. Yes percentages are off....but I have had mine for a year and still get at least two days out of the battery with heavy use. The power off is not a big problem to me...you will learn the battery's ways.

Figured I'd show my final setup. Went thru 3 adapters before I found one that worked in my N4. This took quite some time as I was beating my feet on which adapter I'd try next. The final adapter i purchased is this one from amazon. Micro sd to Sd extension cable

The image album is here.

http://imgur.com/a/xVz7u

Things to note:

It's a snug fit. The battery does press slightly downward on the card. I'm going to attempt to shim a little bit more to see if I can alleviate this. However, so far, no read/ write issues. When inserting the battery, place it in as level as possible starting with the top.

I shimmed as little from the outside frame as possible. Shim down the piece touching the camera housing. Remove most of the lip between the battery and where the card reader sits and almost all of the backwards "E" shape. I shimmed only as much on the camera portion and the outside frame to make the fit not insanely snug. As seen in the last photo, there is the slightest bulge. On a flat surface, there is no rocking. When shimming off the extra material on the sides, I highly recommend putting in a micro sd adapter (like I have in the photos) to make the adapter more rigid. I used a flat file and using medium pressure, the extra material will gone in no time. I also advise putting electrical tape over the wire, the edges are sharp and there is no extra room in the case. The wires and solder points will easily get cut and break (this was the fate of adapter number 1). The second adapter I purchased was not a push/ lock adapter and despite being beautifully insulated and shrink wrapped, it was too long. On top of this, it worked in my other phone but not the Note 4. I believe the contact did not work properly So make sure if you don't buy the amazon one, buy a clone of the one in the link where the card pushes and locks in.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
Hi,

I have been trying to use my Note 4 as the ultimate media device with all my music library (close to 1TB). So I read this post and thought it was worth a try. But I have been trying to make my Note 4 read my Kingston 512GB SD cards for about 4 hours now, and nothings seems to be solving the problem.

The setup is like the following: SD card --> SD to microSD adaptor --> Note 4. I confirmed that the adaptor is working fine with Sandisk 128GB SD card, which gets mounted properly by Note 4. But when I put a 512GB SD card in it, it just shows that it's "corrupted" and asks to format it, which goes on again in saying that it's "corrupted." I have two Kingston 512GB SD cards, so I used chkdsk to fix if there's any problem with them (which I don't think is the problem, it works fine on my Canon DSLR, and Windows). So I think the problem lies with the phone.

I tried 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 stock, and few roms (CMRemix, CM12.1, TEXOdus, Maximum OvrDriVE 6.0.1) with few different kernels (by freeza and emotroid). BUT none of them worked...

Can anyone help me with this? Please...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Son of Kalas:
You need a variant of the note 4 that uses the qualcomm Snapdragon set. the exynos variants don't work. I believe this was stated in the opening post. It works fine on my smn-910v (verizon)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
I have a Snapdragon variant of Note 4 (n910w8) which is the same as n910T (tmobile).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Son of Kalas:
what file system does your SD card use at the moment? have you reformatted or changed the partition at all? if so, in what way
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
Oh my god, it's fixed. Thank you so much for asking me about the file system. So I had it formatted it exFAT, and that's why my phone didn't recognise it! Since Windows doesn't let users to format a SD card that is bigger than 32GB, I used a program that I found and formatted it in FAT32. Voila! It works! I'm so glad it's working now (phew!).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Son of Kalas:
no problem, you might want to consider NTFS if your phone can take it. also, what version of windows? 7 and past should have no such restriction.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
I tried NTFS, but it was the same (didn't get recognized). I use Windows 10 and Gnome Linux, but Windows 10 didn't give me options when formatting other than NTFS and exFAT.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Son of Kalas:
that's weird.

be aware that FAT32 has a file size limit of 4gb. your systems may or may not employ a workaround. if not you will not be able to use 4gb> files
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
Yeah, I'm aware of that. Thank you anyways. I'm only going to use it for music (LP and SACD rips, which are around 300-400MB per song).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Son of Kalas:
what no flac? way easier on the space and still lossless. 300mb a song is unnecessary
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
Oh, trust me. I use flac. Compared to normal CD rips (16/44.1), my LP and SACD rips are mostly 24/192 or 32/384 and DSD files. Even after losslessly compressing with flac or wvpack, they are 300-400MB per song. If in uncompressed WAV format, they are ~800MB per song xD
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Son of Kalas:
how long are your songs? you should be getting 20mb for 4 minutes or so with flac. either you meant Album rather then song or you are doing something very wrong. unless you're dealing with like 30 channels.

Oh wait NVM.

dem numbers.

I don't think that those high rates are even necessary, even for SACD. have you tested to make sure any difference you hear is not a placebo? there are programs that do so.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
Haha, you got me. I'm an audio-enthusiast, so I've tried multiple ABX tests. I can distinguish up to 192kbps from lossless CD flac files, but anything higher than that I can't really distinguish if it's downsampled and encoded correctly. But CD, LP and SACD of one album all sound very different, because of the differences in so many aspects: audio mastering process, ripping equipment and software, etc. I would say the key difference is their dynamic range. But to answer your question, it's just for my sanity. Even though I can't really hear the difference in quality of 320kbps m4a files from CD flac files, I find my peace in that I listen to the best quality that there is xD
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Son of Kalas:
ah Fair enough. good to know. You do you, man.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Depending on what version of Windows they have running on their system. They may not be able to view microSD Cards formatted in ex-FAT. Windows XP, Vista and 7 don't support the use of ex-FAT straight out the box and need to have the OS updates that allow them to use media formatted in ex-FAT. Windows 8 and 10 support ex-FAT straight out of the box.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alexkim92:
I had it formatted exFAT correctly, but it didn't mount for some reason on my phone. It got read properly on Windows 10, Linux, and Canon DSLR. I used Windiws 10 disk manager to format it. I don't know if it were because of my phone or rom or kernel or the card. But if somebody experiences a similar problem, then try formatting it with FAT32. It works for me.

I used Windows 10 to format it exFAT and tried with Linux too. Even though it was properly formatted as I checked using chkdsk command and tried on other devices, the card didn't get mounted on my Note 4.
