[MENTION=1232379]Galuszka[/MENTION]

i had note1 and now i have note 4...

you cant use a phone as tablet pc

i strongly recommend you to buy a Windows 8.1 hybrid tablet

cause note 4 has samll screen for creating and writing .

and mhl adapters have lots of problems now like battery darinage on note 4 and ....

a hybrid win 8 tablet has Full mictosoft office and all professional applications of a desktop computer

like many scientific apps and they are not available in android

how can you imagine of creating an presentation file (like microsoft power point or similars ) on note 4 ?!

or a presentation with a note 4 and mhl adapter ! :)

i recommend Surface pro 64Gb for your case ... yes its expensive but it worth it with its power and beauty
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galuszka:
Guys,

in most cases I would use Note 4 with a external keyboard (eg. Logitech K400) just for notes taking. There is a lot of protective covers that allows to set the device in landscape mode + Logitech K400 + Note's S-pen (instead of mouse) and I think it would be good solution for classes. Do I really need a tablet pc for notes?

In terms of presentation - generally I do it on my PC. I just wanted to SHOW them via projector on Note 4. On the market you could find mhl adapters (to VGA - used by lot of projectors).

My main device is PC, I just can't take it anywhere because of size.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgspeed:
[MENTION=1232379]Galuszka[/MENTION]

dude i know you want to show them not creating them but trust me

with NOTE 4 you CANT do note taking even with keyboard , for 1 or 2 days yes you will do that but you will leave that soon cause of many problems....

and dont forget about very fast battery drainage during peresentation with note 4 + mhl + mhl to vga converter

note 4 battery cant handle that ...

and by the way the choice is yours :)

so think and choose carefully

and have good luck

I have a surface pro 3 i use as a desktop. i also have some of the same problems you do. When i need to present i use my note 4 with a netgear PTV3000 adapter. I keep the surface pro 3 connected to my monitor (2560x1600 ZR30W). When i want to present i use a VNC viewer on the note 4 to connect to my surface. The note 4 is the exact same resolution so its just like presenting with a bluetooth mouse connected to the surface. I can run full powerpoint and office and switch back to the note 4 for handwriting notes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6rah:
I think it depends on your exact needs. I'm still waiting for my Note 4 to arrive, but I currently use my Note 3 with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and an MHL to HDMI adapter. Most new projectors have HDMI inputs, so as long as you're using one of those you should be fine. If you actually need to use VGA, that's a bit tougher.

I replaced my laptop with an Acer Iconia 10" tablet, and then I replaced that tablet with a Note 2, then Note 3, and soon Note 4. With the right accessories, and the right setup, it replaces a laptop pretty well on the go. That said, I still have a desktop at home and at my office, but I don't need to take those anywhere.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
Just a quick note on the suggested Microsoft Surface Pro: Better stay away from it.

I had one (a Surface Pro 3) for testing purposes on my desk last week. It's an all-weak PC except the CPU.

1) More than 10 (TEN !) severe display defects (light bleeding).

2) Touchscreen does not recognize fast typing with your fingertips (I made a video if you like to see).

3) One (ONE !!!) single USB port, which I regard as a bad joke as you need additional hardware for connecting a usable mouse and keyboard (the Type Cover is far away from being usable).

4) NO SIM card slot; so a "mobile device" which cannot be used in a mobile way. Next bad joke with a device worth (or NOT worth) 1000 Euros.

I liked the Surface Pro 3 till I got my hands on it, even considered buying one, got misled by that typical "proud owners".

After checking, nothing of my positive attitude towards that piece of Microsoft failware remained. :/
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:
You still could use old smart dock designed for Note 2. It has 3 usb ports (keyboard, mouse, external hd and more), hdmi out and audio out. In order to work it needs to be connected to power source. I believe that ms office for android is available if you subscribe to office 360.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zurkx:
dont listen to Chieftroll.

An "all-weak" PC does not have a half terabyte of SSD, 8GB of RAM and a core i7. Amazing screen with no light bleeding, touchscreen is decent (with pen!), type cover is almost like a regular keyboard and it has a dock for more USB ports. SIM card slot is unnecessary - it will do wifi and connect to your note 4 hotspot.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgspeed:
i am 100% agree with [MENTION=5983355]zurkx[/MENTION]

Surface is amazing !!!!!

i have one 64 gb myself and its great .... without any major problem
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chefproll:
Ah, my personal stalker. Seeks threads I post in, then starts a fight - always losing.

Obviously, you overlooked my "offer" to you: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/how-charger-pins-t3002862/page2

NO reaction ? - Come on, wise man, don't be a quitter. :D

So here's the next task for you: Take your highly capable Surface, boot it up. While booting, there's a boot screen: All black, with the term "Surface" big and white in the middle.

Take a photo of this boot screen, NO FLASH, place a lighter or a matchbox on the screen right next to the "Surface" logo. This is to make sure you do a real photo instead of fetching a perfect picture from the net. And it must be the boot screen, because brightness is high at that time, so you don't get the idea of disguising the light bleed with a low brightness setting.

Post it.

Then we well see if your "amazing screen with NO LIGHT BLEEDING" is for real. :D

If you don't post that photo, we all know there's something wrong with your statement.

With that big, ugly, unpleasant pen. And WITHOUT ? - A bad touchscreen not recognizing fast typing with your fingertips. Try typing using 10 fingers with a pen. :D

Now say I am wrong - then I'll post the video evidence. :)

It is not. It's a bad, expensive thing made of wrong materials. It's outside is made of a kind of cloth, wobbly, getting extremely dirty in no time. And it's just a cover, it does not protect the sensitive lower side of the tablet.

And there's no alternatives. Eat Microsoft or die.

Same logic: Cars are unnecessary; I prefer hitchhiking. :D

So, my friend - we're waiting for your photo, proving that your Surface has a flawless screen.

Edit, one day later: You still did not figure out how to use PhotoShop for disguising the light bleed ?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I wouldn't use the Note 4 for anything barring watching youtube lol. It's far too slow. I wouldn't take notes on it or write out anything more than a text or short email.

As for Surface tablets, they're awesome. Maybe not laptop level, but pretty close. Light bleed is a none issue, zero. I have seen top of the range phones, tv's monitors all with light bleed. It's overrated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NamelessFragger:
I'm sure it's possible if you can get a smart dock (and Samsung should totally release an updated one with MHL 3.0), but the screen size is a bit cramped for taking college/university course notes. You'd probably be scrolling around in OneNote or any other app of your choice all the time.

While I'm not sure if the European eBay prices are anywhere near as good as they are here in the States, you should be able to get an older Tablet PC like an HP 2730p/2740p or Fujitsu T5010/T900 for a pretty low price and have the convenience of both a physical keyboard and on-screen pen input for note-taking. They're not even US$300 here on most listings!

Hi guys,

Was hoping somebody here can help.

Yesterday I was making a call using my bluetooth headset. At the end of the call I pressed the usual end talk button but for some reason it said I was still connected, the phone had crashed at this screen.

I therefore decided to restart the device using the button on the bottom of the phone.

Now it hangs on the T-mobile load screen. It displays what I presume is the firmware revision, the numbers disppear then it locks showing the white T-mobile splash screen and doesn't get any further.

T-mobile are going to replace the phone but I really need to get my contacts off the phone. I know I should of done a backup but you know what its like

Has anybody got any suggestions how I can get the contacts off the handset??

I presume if I do a full reset I'll loose everything.

I have tried removing battery and leaving off for a few hours / let it run flat / reboot with usb and mains connection while holding reset etc etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

i kinda have the same problem whith my spv but i dont care about contacts..., and im sorry you cant get them back unless you have saved them to sd card/backup :( typen on wii since christmas yehaa!:D

[LG G Watch R] PebbleBed:
Hello all

My watch has developed a strange display scrolling problem when active watchface is displayed since lollipop update.

Please see the following video to explain the problem.

Have tried to reset via the menu to fix the problem . after reset it works for a few minutes but then it comes back. I feel this is a software fault

Any ideas chaps?

Thanks

bro..im having the same issue..have u manage to rectify it?
[LG G Watch R] PebbleBed:
I was advised by LG support to return it to the distributor

they initially told me to go back to lg but in the end they gave me a RMA

Now waiting for a repair or replacement watch. Fingers crossed
[LG G Watch R] radang:
I had the same symptoms as well. When through LG's customer service to get an "RA" number. I was pleasantly surprised that LG provided pre-paid shipping through FEDEX. I received it back in a little over a week. It appears to be a new watch altogether, as the the front display didn't have the screen protector I put on it, as well as the band looking pristine. So it appears that this wasn't a software issue, but a hardware failure. It was surprising that it didn't have the latest firmware installed, but I'm still happy I have a functional LG Watch R back again! Make sure you keep the invoice/receipt to provide proof of purchase for free warranty service.
[LG G Watch R] memo_68:
I have the same problem in my particular case happen after flashing the Urban ROM ... also think is a sofware problem ... any suggestion, i dont live in the USA and sending the watch to warranty will take months....
[LG G Watch R] litmuspaper:
How to fix it?

Sorry for popping this thread. I have the same issue. My watch is 10 moth old. I tried to contact LG USA support, but for some reason they don't take responsibility for it. I definitely got my lesson regarding LG support :(

Did anybody managed to fix this problem? As for now I have $$$ brick
[LG G Watch R] biggz1:
My watch has now developed this problem too but i am on marshmallow.

Would flashing 6.0.1 on the watch fix it does anyone think?

I cannot bring it back to LG as i bought it second hand

Any ideas to fix would be greatly received
[LG G Watch R] cchemic:
I have the same problem, Did anybody managed to fix this problem?
[LG G Watch R] rijkerhc:
I had the same issue. To solve the problem you need to remove the mainboard from your watch and do a reflow procedure with the mainboard.

A simple way to do it is to put the mainboard in a oven and heat it op to about 100 degrees celsius for about 5 minutes. Remove it from the oven and let it cool down.

Assemble your watch and power up.

problem solved

You are the best, my friend, precisely the problem solved in this way.Thank you very much. :good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neropren:
Hey guys,

I really love my phone, also the ROM (Chroma) so the kernel (Francos). but my phone keeps shutting down during calls. It's really not funny anymore and it's totally getting a pain now, since I have to keep a 2nd phone with me, just to be able to do calls (the hell is my Nexus 6 for?!). I've tried all I could, with a simple fresh ROM without Gapps, with Gapps, with and without my own apps (backed up with Titanium). Just the most annoying thing I've ever had with a phone, and somehow I can't really believe it could be a hardware issue. Or maybe it is, since it's only happening during calls? To be honest, it already happened once during a game.

I'm living in Germany, so I've a PlayStore N6, no carrier labels or so. Just a pure Google Shamu device.

Any suggestions? Any help? Just something to keep my phone working during calls, except of an replacement? Would really love to get that damn thing solved. :crying:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neropren:
Noone replies? Did hope for some more help. :crying:

The most curious thing is that my phone just simply shuts down (at e.g. 80 % battery). At this moment I'm getting warned about my battery status and the phone shows that it's 0 % battery left. Here's actually what's kinda weird. After immediatly restarting the phone it shows again 80 % battery (sometimes 1 - 3 % less). Redialing again ends up only sometimes with the same procedure.

Since those shut downs don't happen while charging the phone I coudln't even manage to get a Logcat via Android sdk. At least I was able to get a full log with LogCat. So if ANYONE is capable of getting some information out of that log - Let me know, you'ld totally be my man.

Thanks so far and hopefully someone's going to read this and help me.
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
Hi,

I have a strange issue that only seems to affect my Gear 2 - everything else on Lollipop seems OK.

I am running the leaked stock ROM N9005XXUGBNL8 - rooted. I have also loaded the latest Gear Manager - 2.2.14112899.

When I turn on the watch or Phone, the devices connect correctly, and everything seems to work well. My problem is when I move out of range. The watch shows that the Bluetooth disconnects, but the phone still thinks that it is connected. When i move back into range, the phone and watch remain disconnected unless I manually reconnect by turning the phones Bluetooth off and then on again.

I have reloaded both the phone and watch, but still have the same issue. Sine the Lollipop ROM has not yet been formally released, I cannot ask Samsung for help, so if anyone can suggest a solution, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance, Richard

Hello,

I have the same problem with note 3 lollipop and gear 2.

I hope there will be a fix when lollipop arrives officially.

Best regards
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
Thanks for the reply - at least I am not alone in this and that I am not imagining he issue
[Samsung Gear 2] leojab:
I also similar issue. Sometimes it reconnects automatically and other times I should manually reconnect from the Gear Manager.

Lets wait for the final Lollipop release
[Samsung Gear 2] kdatale:
I am also facing the same problem. I reloaded the gear application twice and also flashed the ROM again after factory resetting the Note 3 but no change. Hope will get the solution soon.
[Samsung Gear 2] incident404:
Facing similar problem. After latest update of Note4 (still 4.4.4) watches not reconnect and bluetooth switches off. To manually reconnect i need to press "connect" in watches AND in gear manager. If i just turn on bluetooth watches connects and instantly disconnects turning bluetooth off.
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
The Gear Manager today updated to 2.2.15011799.

I do not know if this has improved matters yet, but will post if it does.
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
Update,

Seems to disconnect OK, but will not reconnect automatically. I don't know what is wrong with Samsung, but this really hampers the use of the watch.
[Samsung Gear 2] Blainstorm:
After the update today, it works perfectly now!

It seems, the gear manager was the bad guy!

Best regards
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
Still does not really work for me. I need to toggle bluetooth on the phone after a disconnect, but not every time.
[Samsung Gear 2] Blainstorm:
Next day the same problems. But the gear is now faster connecting and transferring data. Before the update the gear taken 20 or 30 seconds to sync the calendar app. Now it's open Instantly.
[Samsung Gear 2] kennyg48:
Had the same problem as well but downloaded "bluetooth auto connect" from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en and this seems to have resolved the bluetooth connectvity problem. My gear 2 connects everytime.

Good luck

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

I recently updated Gear Manager on my Note 3 running the leaked Lollipop 5.0. ALthough my gear 2 and manager works I have noticied that the Gear (watch) Icon which normally appears on the top left of the screen is no longer there. The gear notification messgae is still there. Anybody with a similiar issue?
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
Same here.

Also tried the Bluetooth auto connect, but this does not seem to work. Can you share the settings you used?

Thanks
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
I have noticed some more detail:

When i go out of range, the watch disconnect but often, the phone still seems to think the watch is connected. However, when I check the phones bluetooth setting, the watch is connected, but the Phone Audio is disabled. Occasionally, only a reboot will cure this.

I have also spotted several other issues relating to Bluetooth and Lollipop on the XDA forums, such as intermittent connection to Car phone systems, which I have also noticed. I am beginning to suspect that the main problem here is with the Lollipop bluetooth rather than specifically with the Gear. The ensd result is the same - a system that does not work correctly that should be supported and fixed by Samsung.
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
I have just upgraded the room to the Polish ROM released yesterday and carried out a factory reset.

I still have the same issues. It seems fairly clear that the phone does not recognise that the phone goes out of range and so status connected.
[Samsung Gear 2] RDHoworth:
Given Up

:(

I have given up and reverted to the Stock KitKat ROM. Guess what? everything now works.

I don't think that Android 5 is ready yet - will now wait for 5.1
[Samsung Gear 2] Palo_:
Search for S6 apps (it is on in xda-developers forum as well). There is a version of the Gear Manager that solves the reconnect issue. I tested it shortly and it works on official lollipop for Note3.

EDIT: After some reboots, recconects are not working properly again.

Gear 2 Note 3 reconnect not working

Hi,

it does not work with my Gear 2 and Note 3. Latest Lollipop Build / Gearmanager.

Kitkat worked well and it did reconnect every time. Note 3 does not!

Edit: 04.05.2015:

I bought a Note 4 and it works now.
[Samsung Gear 2] SJackal:
Exactly the same problem!

I have the latest Stock (Dutch, april 24th) with a Gear S. When getting out of range, Gear S disconnects, but Gear Manager thinks it is still connected, so Gear Manager does not trigger the bluetooth to reconnect. I called the Samsung Helpdesk and I went to the Samsung Premium store, and they could not solve this. Their 'solution' was to downgrade my phone to Kitkat... Shame on Samsung!!
[Samsung Gear 2] Palo_:
Looks like this is a kernel problem. With custom kernels recconection works like on kitkat. Tested with Xplorer 3.8 and fulgor 1.3.
[Samsung Gear 2] sv320d:
I had no problems with the bluetooth like I had with the Note 3 (see earlier post) after using a my old note 2 for the last week (N7100XXUFND3) Android 4.4.2.

Even a factory reset and wiping the cache/partitions still had no effect. Looks like my only option is to downgrade to 4.4.2!
[Samsung Gear 2] reynocum:
Same problem here on G2+n3.

G2 says no BT, n3 says connected.

Need to turn off BT on n3 to "disconnect" the false connected status, then turn on BT-> reconnect but it takes too long for n3 to find G2.

All software/firmware updated.
[Samsung Gear 2] askping:
I have the exactly same problem, has anyone found a solution?
[Samsung Gear 2] reynocum:
After a Lollipop update on my Note3 (but version is still 5.0), the Gear Manager now recognize the unreacheable Gear2. But there is still a problem on reconnection. Reconnection is done manually on the Gear or using Gear Manager and it is faster than before.

I notice that bluetooth 4.0's range with Lollipop is farther than with Kitkat.
[Samsung Gear 2] n99123:
T-mobile Uk finally got round to lollipop last week for my Note 3. Unfortunately, I'm now in the same boat as the rest of you and my Gear 2 ownership has become a very frustrating experience!
[Samsung Gear 2] MrHancock70:
Same problem, very aggravated.

I've been having to manually reconnect the watch to the phone.

Have the latest updates. I've reset the watch but nothing works.
[Samsung Gear 2] recDNA:
I have the same gear 2 with note 3 all stock vzw and lately the watch disconnects for no reason and I must manually connect. On one occasion I had a heck of a time getting it to reconnect. I had to shut off phone and watch. Turn on phone then turn on watch then manually connect. I do have a setting on my phone that when connected to gear 2 I needn't use a pin to open phone. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

I've never seen an issue go so long here without a solution or maybe I have just always been lucky.
