Or also like an HTC. This hang up on Apple is so old.. Its like some elitist insult to dub whatever new android devices comes out as an iPhone knock off. Your favoite band sold out and now your favorite phone looks marginally more (than it did before) like an iPhone. #FirstWorldProblems
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chronichemp:
im an LG fanboy, my first android phone was the optimus g and i fell in love. also i traded my g3 and 100 bucks for the note 4, because i know itll be much easier to trade a note 4 for a G4 when it comes out instead of the G3. I love the note 4 but LG just always makes the best powerhouse phone of the year. The g3 was the best phone until the note 4 came out, and the s6 was a disaster so im not even going to pay attention to it, i need my micro sd. THats a must
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzmachine:
I do entirely agree with you post, and your take on "perspective" in undeniable... However, from the perspective of a Samsung customer who's owned the Note 2, 3, and 4, perhaps I've become "conditioned" to expect the upcoming addition to the Note series to be an improvement of the prior iteration and to be among the shrinking number of options that retain the options for cheap/convenient expandable storage and a removable battery, both of which I value highly.

My biggest complaint with this phone comes from "following" it's development/construction. The news that Samsung replaced the SD 810 initially planned for the device due to overheating, while the same chip is being used without issue in many other devices, in my mind raised a big red flag. Samsung's adherence to this design, which was the cause of overheating components, is (to me) strong evidence that Samsung put "form before function" and sacrificed too much (IMO) in the construction of this phone. Let me clarify; I can't deny that the S6 is an absolute beast and can certainly be expected to perform "well"... However, I would bet cash-money that the S6 components would perform noticeably better (and run cooler/safer) if they were encased "Note 4-style". I can't imagine that if that device were made instead that there would be any less "buzz" surrounding it, and as an added bonus, users such as myself (completely unknown what percentage of Samsung's customer base that comprises) wouldn't be so excessively sore about removal of those features that we value and depend on. Just my take on the matter...

Samsung is about to lose me as a loyal customer if they don't add back the sd card slot and removable battery.

I was a loyal HTC customer until HTC did this exact same thing.

The customers will show their distaste for the s6 with horrible sales (i hope)

Guys why don't you switch to chinese manufacturers , best phones , best performance , and lowest prices .... I really think they are better than most samsung phones , especially the phones Xiaomi and Huawei. and I don't think there is anything you should be loyal to other than your pockets ;)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
I don't think the no sd slot or removable battery will hurt S6 sales. The price might though. I'm wondering what manufacture unhappy Samsung users switch to. It won't be HTC o Apple. lol I guess LG.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Tiffany84:
We on XDA are the minority. We may hate some of the decision's Samsung made but I think the majority of the population will not think twice about the battery being non-removable or the lack of an SD slot. I think the sales for it will be through the roof. The only thing that may hurt Samsung is there asking price. If there able to set a very aggressive price point, or better yet, beat the iPhone 6 pricing by at least $50, then I don't think they'll be able to build them fast enough. I personally love most of what they've done, especially with the Edge. If it's as good as it's described to be and the pricing is right, I'll definitely be purchasing the Edge model. I've done without a removable battery several times in the past. As well as not having an SD slot and I had no issues. I would sometimes worry about running out of space but with them now offering a 128gb version I would have no fear except for the thought of damaging the phone and losing everything. Especially considering that there now using UFS 2.0 memory, coupled with LPDDR4 ram. I know SD cards are a lot cheaper but in some ways I'd rather pay a little more for all that added speed cause I know I'll be just fine space wise with 128gb.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Meanee:
Honestly, I was similar to this before. "I want SD card! I want removable battery!"

But looking back through my entire ownership of Note products, Note 2, 3, and now 4, I never replaced the battery. I had a spare with me with my Note 2, but it was constantly dead, because I never used it. And with SD card being read-only (yeah I know, you can change that with rooted device), I don't see much of a point using it as a storage device. I have 64gb MicroSD in my Note 4 that has few movies, nothing more. If I get 64gb S6 Edge, I won't lose much on storage. Since my company's BYOD rules require external storage encryption, shuffling data between PC and card does not apply to me as well. And with S6 using some sort of really souped-up memory chips, achieving almost-SSD speeds, I won't have any slowness transferring stuff to the storage.

Other things, such as area fingerprint sensor, looppay integration, better CPU, builtin wireless charging, higher PPI screen, will outweigh features I really do not use anyway.

I know XDA is technically-minded community. But if I am to go out on a street right now, and ask any Samsung phone owner, how many times did they replace battery and swap SD card, overwhelming majority will say "zero"

And, S6 battery is replaceable, you need a screwdriver, however.

Last thing, since I am on old-school JUMP program, I can switch anytime, without any real financial loss. So yeah, I will switch to S6 Edge, but will be back for Note in September/October.

Flame away!

A very good sentiment, but re Xiaomi: , xda-developers portal - GPLv2 and Its Infringement by Xiaomi

GPLv2 violations are not "ok" in my book...

Edit: Oh, and I just came across this article http://www.ubergizmo.com/2015/03/samsung-galaxy-xcover-3-announced/?utm_source=mobilerepublic regarding the latest new device announcement from Samsung, the Xcover 3, which does include a micro sd slot. Possibly... an indicator that we should remain hopeful wrt the Note 5?

Edit again: News aggregators keep hitting me with interesting/relevant articles... here's one that speculates on performance, specifically related to gaming: http://www.pocketgamer.co.uk/r/Andr...stAdditions+(Pocket+Gamer+-+Latest+additions) *SPOILER This article decreased my impression of the beastliness of the S6 components. Before reading this, I was under the impression that the Exynos 7420 > Snapdragon 810 (or maybe even ">>"), but this article presents a fairly compelling "not necessarily" argument. More clarity can be found in the GPU department. I didn't previously know exactly which GPU the S6 was packing (just correctly assumed it was Mali), but this article states that it's the T760 (same unit that's on the Exynos Note 4), and a while ago I read an Anandtech article on the next/this gen Qualcom chips, which made a very compelling argument that the Adreno 430 (which compliments the SD 810) is a very significant upgrade over the 820 that's on our N4s. Just posting this stuff because I'm personally finding it

very

interesting, and also to attempt to help others make an informed decision when considering their next upgrade.

I openly admit that I'm biased against the S6, mainly due to the dropped "versatility" features, but no design or dropped feature bashing in this post... Just the facts (peppered with some personal, objective (as I can be, I suppose) interpretations).

Non removable battery is made into a bigger issue than it really is because the battery it comes with is small.

I probably wouldn't buy the S6 regardless because I'm more of a "phablet" fan I guess, but I honestly don't think the leaked active pictures look that bad. Very iphone esque but I like it.

In most cases all dead ends for development...i love the ascend mate 7 its perfect but ZERO development and i believe the bootloader is locked so a paper weight pretty much for me no matter how bad i want it

My prediction that doesn't mean anything, the Note 6 loses removable battery but the sdcard slot stays.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] icugotit2:
couldnt agree more

s6 is a beautiful device but they took what away what i like about android. CHOICE

I just lost my n4 and ordered the another n4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mardukeme:
I don't think I could go without removable battery, or SD card, anymore. I just got the Gear Vr and watching a movie on it kills about 50% of the battery, and you can not charge it while using the Gear Vr. Watching a couple movies on a flight pretty much kills the battery. So I picked up a few extra batteries, and swap them out easily.

Also adding HD Media takes up alot memory, especially 3d Blueray rips, it's nice to have the option to add more.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Squilchi:
I could not ****ing believe it when I saw the s6 but sadly it is true. my heart literally sunk when I realized no more micro SD or removable battery. I'm really disappointed...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Limeybastard:
Removable SD card and battery is old skool ;) all that will be gone , unfortunately for some.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] neonsector:
You have to understand that Samsung lost 100s of millions last year with the very disappointing note 4 sales.

People don't like tacky plastic phones anymore, they want solid good looking phones.

I am not putting down the note 4, I own one, and I love it. but it doesn't have that premium look and feel.

Now they are trying to make a phone similar to the iPhone to take some of their customers back, I am not sure that will be a good idea, I think their problem is in the software, the lack of updates etc, if it wasn't for custom roms I wouldn't own an Android phone.

Taking away the 2 things that android users love; removable battery and SD card support is a move in the wrong direction but desperation is kicking in.

I'll be using my Jump! subscription to give the s6 a try for free and if I don't like it ill just switch back, but I definitely want the s6 active when released.

T mobile Jump! is probably the best part about being their customer. $10 a month for handset insurance, lookout premium, and unlimited phone swaps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
Not sure if you can switch back after you Jump. I'm on the original Jump and T-Mobile had to change it since it was to good of a deal. I'll be getting the S6 Edge. Maybe the green one. My wife has the new Jump and I used hers last time. LoL. She will get my Note 4. I'll switch if for some reason I don't like the S6.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dipole:
Why did T-Mobile change it, I'm still on Jump 1 and they have never tried to get me off. Every time I go there they all comment that I'm on the good jump!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] sweets55:
People on Jump 1 are grandfathered in. I'm not sure what happens if you want to return a new phone that you used a Jump on.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Tiffany84:
If it's pass the 14 day period your either stuck with it until you have another jump available or you have to switch to the new jump where you can do it as many times as you want but at least half the price of the phone has to be paid off. I got screwed because I tried a phone and the guy at T-Mobile got the dates messed up so I took it back after the 14 days thinking I had another jump available but come to find out I didn't have another until 6 months down the road. So I had to switch to the new jump plan to get rid of the phone which really sucked. The original jump was AWESOME!! The new one isn't very good imo.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ElAguila:
They seem to have gone the route of HTC by dropping the micro sd slot. What I never understood is why they brag about the hd video capabilities and then take away storage options. HD video can be quite large. With 4G coverage not being great in some areas, cloud storage for the video just isn't an option.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] VergiL09:
Uhm, HTC brought back the micro sd slot in M8 and M9, the they actually said that they would not follow samsung's decision to drop the slot.

Anyways, I could agree with you in the hd video part, 4k and 1080p 60fps eats storage fast, and cloud storage is still not good specially on areas with "just" fast internet, you need VERY fast internet for that lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RaiderWill:
Really?

This is an interesting turn in the thread... :cool:

I never would have thought a Note 4 owner would even consider switching to an S6.. I see them as devices aimed at 2 entirely different markets.

The Note 4 is without question a *Power User's Device* with pretty much every feature you could build into what is basically a "Pocket Computer" with a built-in modem.

The S6 without question is an *Answer To Apple Device* trying to emulate the premium feel of an iPhone 6.

But at what cost?

Pushing Quad-HD and boasting a higher ppi than the Note 4 with almost 700mAh's less battery capacity to me spells *On Screen Time* disaster.. One better hope the Exynos SoC is more efficient in it's use of power..

And you KNOW you're going to curse the fact (at some point) that you can no longer simply take 30 seconds to swap out the battery and instantly return to 100% capacity....

And there is that little issue about being forced to pay $50.00 to $100.00 to double your storage vs $13.00 to $16.00 for a Sandisk / Samsung Class 10 Micro-SD..

IMO the S6 is a class below the Note 4.. which surprises me why anyone would make the change unless.. I guess, it was for the styling? of the edge model.. but you give up so much for that new look.. and that's too bad. :cool:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] barondebxl:
I was going to get the S6 but after really thinking about it, I don't think so. The note 4 is just a better option if one can deal with the size.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] lamuertex:
I've been thinking about it. I want the s6 active version actually that's waterproof with a 3500 mah battery. The lack of swappable batteries will be okay for me with their 11k mah fast charging power bank. Also I have all the wireless charging gear but never use it because of the added bulk. The sd card memory is too slow to quickly find old photos in my gallery. I started using Google wallet and the s6 wireless pay capabilities are quite convenient. The note 4 is uncomfortable to use.

And to top it off its much more powerful and a more solid design than my creaky note 4.

I suppose you have only unlocked the device (when you enter hboot you will see the text UNLOCKED if that is true), so next to do will be flash the recovery and then from the recovery flash the zip file with supersu and that's it, once you have supersu in place you are ready to run apps that need root privilegies.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxandrei:
So i have a huge problem.

It seems that the phone has problem registering to the network.

I first saw this a week ago when trying to call someone... i could make the call, but it showed that i had enough signal (more than half).

At first i was thinking then the one i was trying to call had no signal or had closed the phone.

But i then noticed that my phone was the problem.

It simply could make a call even though it showed that is was register with the network.

Sometimes i rebooted the phone and it worked for a couple of minutes, and i could make calls, but if i left it be for 2-3 minutes and tryed to call someone , i could'nt.

Sometime if i went to airplane mode and came back i could make calls, but after some minutes i had again problems.

I tryied everything, like :

- no wifi

- no gps

- reset to stock

- use only 2g

- use only 3g

- use 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 or 5.0.x

Nothing worked.

Has anyone had these kind of problems ?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaaspejder:
Hi everybody, this is my first question here, hoping you can find the time to help me out.

I recently returned my M7 to stock, using htc1guru's guides and I am now back to stock sense, with stock recovery, locked, S-ON and no tampered flag.

I used this RUU file from the site

RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4

So i'm now back to Sense 5.0 and Android Jellybean 4.1.2

But my problem is i'm not getting any OTA updates, not even the one for sense 5.5.

This is what my Bootloader screen looks like:

Locked

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.43.0000

RADIO-4A.13.3227.06

OpenDSP-v26.120.274.0202

eMMC-boot

I really can't think of a solution to the problem, so I was wondering if anybody in here has a solution or atleast a reason for the lack of OTA updates?

Any comments or help are appreciated :good::good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:

the RUU should work without any other changes
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blaaspejder:
Hey man, really sorry to keep bothering you, as I feel like it's getting a bit ridiculous.

But I got a bunch of updates after using the other RUU, many thanks for linking that btw, but now i'm not getting anymore updates past sense 5.5, and to my knowledge most HTC m7's got the sense 6 update May 2014.

So I was thinking if you know what the problem is this time around? Should I just wait a few days for the phone to catch up or have I done something wrong?

The bootloader looks like this:

Locked

M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.55.0000

RADIO-4A.21.3263.04

OpenDSP-v32.120.274.0909
