Agreed, I think the Exynos vs Snapdragon Samsung thread had more fighting than I've ever seen in a iphone vs samsung forum.

Anyway I start to understand more and more why people like Iphone. With Android you pretty much have to be a computer engineer to manage it correctly (for example to fix wifi draining you need to have in depth networking knowledge). Iphone is made for computer dummies and that's what 99% of the people are. I think the average android user doesnt even realize that when they press the homebutton an app keeps running and thus draining. On Iphone that can't happen. And then there's Touchwiz, the most horrible, slowest interface ever known to mankind. And to make it even worse, Samsung makes money by pushing tons of useless crap software nobody wants which slows it down even more. And while Android is supposed to be 'open', more and more stuff gets closed and for tons of stuff sourcecode never even gets released.

So yeah, I understand more and more why people move away from Samsung. Of course, Apple isn't holy neither every system has its downsides unfortunately ...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
Exactly my point. Somebody said that iphone is like a religion, just making my point that samsung is too, Samsung users even fight over which Samsung cpu (or technically qcom) is the best, like their lifes depend on it.

Hehe that's what I meant.

Agreed. My point merely was: If you look in this thread, people call the Thread starter an 'idiot' to buy an Apple. But Android and especially Samsung isnt all that neither. Both systems have their pro's but also definitely their con's. To call somebody an idiot because he bought an iphone (or an android for that matter), that just makes no sense.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] spexwood:
Gotcha. And yeah, I agree with you too :good:;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sfjuocekr:
Too bad that Apple also kills its own products after three years.

HTC has far better in-call audio quality than other phones I've had or tried.

My S3 is now almost three years old and I'll probably replace it when it dies of old age or lack of community support. I'm on my second battery, my camera + lens need replacing, I've swapped out the ear speaker, remodeled the micro USB port a bit and the plastic cover is starting to show signs of stress.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] midreestaj:
iPhone is a simple and beautified phone that *just works* with very good specs and suits "utility with fashion" preferring people.

Note 4 is an *absolute Beast* of a smartphone, utter dominance in hardware specs with plethora of options/feature set to have you feel like reached the roof top.

The fight over CPU type in Note 4 also addressed above by some was a buyers remorse face saving, while one type being more bleeding edge than the other, both the CPUs have merits and de-merits over one another. Same way Note 4 dominates iPhone in the spec&tech but usability wise both have their pros&cons
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Really? I know many people still getting software updates for 4S which is over 4 years old now.

And it's a bit of an oxymoron to even make that statement on a forum for the Note 4 where we're all complaining because Samsung can't even rollout a software update (originally touted by them back in October) for a 5 month old phone, leaving most Note 4 users in a perpetual 'it's coming ' lollipop loop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
They kill anything android has to offer for updates. They announced 8.2 at 1130 pm India time. 12 .45 all my devices were updated ( Around 8 iOS devices in the family) Frankly that's crazy.

Also you are completely off about HBO and frankly don't think you do use an Apple TV. So that's a whole other discussion, beyond the scope of this forum.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
After having the iPhone for a few days, I have come to the conclusion that I am listing it on eBay, and getting another Note 4. There just isn't enough customization I can do, and I really miss that. It does, however, seem like a very solid phone, in all other aspects. No lag, and the single home button works well. I recommend it to users who just want a nice, simple device that will perform well without much maintenance.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GTCC:
What about Jailbreak, you can have all the customisation you want then(almost)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
I am on the latest OS, and no telling when there will be a jailbreak method available. Could be months. I don't know if I can bear it for that long. I'm overly bored already :eek:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
and people wonder why this generation has so little savings compared to the previous generations. :rolleyes:

so how much did this little experiment in indecision cost you ? Like 500 euros/dollars or whatever ? and i assume youre going to root it when you get your new note 4 and destroy its economic value in half ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Are you the bill payer in the OP's household ?

If not what on earth gives you the right to question or pour condemnation on their personal spending. They do not have to justify anything to you. Look after your own life and let them do the same.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gingerdude:
How the hell is either an upgrade when all things are considered? Some good advise... buy your note 4 back :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
Well, I have a Note 4 again. Found a guy on Craigslist who was willing to trade. Didn't lose any money on the deal, and it's already rooted, running 4.4. I'm happy again :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
:confused:

OP posting in the forum gives me the right to comment on it just as you have the right to comment on my comment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Gave you the right to question the topic, not to personally question or ask them to justify their spending to you.

How would you feel if every time you bought something a random stranger came over to you and asked you "whether you should buy that? " or "Have you got a savings account?" Blah blah blah.

You simply would tell them to mind their own ___insert swear word_____ business as it's nothing to do with them...

and therefore it's likewise of this to you....

Question the op on his choice, on his reasoning perhaps - but don't ask or expect them to justify their spending to you......
[Galaxy Note 4 General] The Black Droid:
First of all, without any prior knowledge of any transaction, how could you pretend to know about how much money was lost, if any at all? The fact of the matter is, the initial trade didn''t lose me anything. I traded straight up, phone for phone. When I listed it back after deciding to revert, I again found a person willing to trade straight up. This transaction went through, and no money was involved.

How quick you were to jump to conclusions, as well as try to define a whole generation based off a cellular phone debacle.

Laughable, at best :eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] theeze:
I think it's because you traded your brand new note 4 for someone else's unknown. I would never buy something so expensive used. He could have dropped it in water or some other not as noticeable damage, until one day your phone starts acting funny. Basically you traded your well taken care of Note 4 for someone else's unknown. My note 4 fell in snow and I didn't realize it after a minute or so. I had to let it dry for 2 days before putting back the battery and hoping it works. Now I don't know if there's going to be any signs of damage, I guess it's playing the waiting game and hope no future problems are created out of this.

If I decided to trade it in and someone buys back my note 4. I won't tell that person that I dropped it in water, so if it screws up on him in the future, that's not my problem.

The rule goes, never buy expensive electronics used. You don't know how the person before maintained it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
also its rooted so knox is tripped, there is no warranty and half the resale value of your phone is gone.

:rolleyes:

and worst of all you still dont think youve lost anything of economic value in your swapping transactions. $450 gone.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

if i wrote my purchase in large letters on my T-Shirt and wore it in public i would be fine with people commenting on it. this is a public forum and OP commented on his awesome (or not so awesome) purchase so we have a right to comment on the stupidity (or intelligence) of his economic decisions. he didnt do it in private and no one is commenting on his other purchases which may be equally economically unwise but since we dont know what they are we wont be commenting on them.....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
People do that all the time - it's called branding.

And no - wearing certain clothes in public does not give random strangers the right to bully or confront a person asking for justification of what they are wearing - or for you to comment or condemn them on wearing it.

You may have personal thoughts on it, but confronting a stranger on the street for what they were wearing and making assumptions about them for it would still be seen as inappropriate by anyone with any level of common sense or maturity.

Doing so would be discrimination and prejudice regardless.

Just like how you prejudged the OP on their financial solvency which again has jack **** to do with you.

Your being an arrogant troll. End of.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jdpeck:
His very first post stated he traded, which means no money was exchanged only product. Because he is on XDA, there is a very good chance his first Note was rooted (by your comments that cuts its value in half) therefore he actually gained economic value by going to the iPhone 6+. A few of his posts later he stated that he again traded straight up for a rooted Note 4, but he was playing with house money (gambling term in case you don't understand that) and went back the the same economic value as before so in the end he broke even.

If you had thought that all through you could have avoided making an [MENTION=237736]SS[/MENTION] of yourself and asking a completely inappropriate question and made stupid generalized comments. Like everyone else has said, his spending habits are none of your business.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] theeze:
Trading something doesn't always mean a direct transaction. I can trade in my note 4 at my local carrier and they give me a portion back, not all of it. If it was truly a 1:1 trade sure... it's fine. But if he lost out on a bit and essentially wound up with a used Note 4. Where is the gain? You gave up some money to go back to a used note 4 without knowing what it went through? Sure the trade with the guy on craigslist didn't cost anything but what about his 6+ purchase? Isn't it more expensive than a note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Hahaha! Funniest thread I've read! Not happy with note 4 update, however, I Will Never Be Owned By Apple!

Never!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
uuh. no. branding does not state the value of the item purchased or open it for discussion in a public forum but nice try. :laugh:

of course as a counterpoint people do judge people who drive certain cars (e.g. prius or mercedes) regardless if they comment to the original person or not. and people also judge people who use certain phones. or pretty much anything which has a logo on it which is well known.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Yet it was you who was the one who brought money into this discussion in the first place - not the OP. You made the presumptions, and are the one seemingly fixated by it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
i was commenting on the bad economic choices due to indecision and was asking OP how much it cost him.

considering he flip flopped from brand new note 4 to iphone 6 to rooted note 4 (would be ironic if his "new" rooted note 4 turned out to be fake) in a week do you seriously consider his choices to be economically sound ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
And you still miss the point. His finances are not your business. He's not asking you to fund anything - he is not held accountable to you - it's absolutely none of your concern.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
and who decides what is or what is not MY concern ? you ? who appointed you gatekeeper ?

I am free to decide what is my concern and the OP is free to answer, not answer or answer untruthfully.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
You mean just like how you appointed yourself guardian of economic fortunes of an entire country?

Most normal folks with an ounce of intelligence and common sense do not need to have basic concepts of common courtesy explained to them.

As other have pointed out, you have made an absolute [MENTION=237736]SS[/MENTION] of yourself here in this thread. Enjoy wallowing in your own ignorance & self importance.

End of subject.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
i havent appointed myself guardian of anything - youre the only one who seems to have a huge problem with my simple question and observation.

Perhaps you should consider your own actions before appointing yourself guardian of concepts of common courtesy (like calling people an @ss).

Would suggest otherwise ....

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] waylo:
Hi folks,

This is something that happened to me this past weekend I wanted to share.

I use glance view on my S4 and find it useful on occasion. I also have long-press back as a kill switch for misbehaving apps. This function is added through the Wanam xposed module.

I accidentally pressed the kill function while the glance view was activated. I know this because I saw the SuperSU toast come up showing I had killed the glance process. Ok, no problem, I thought. It'll re-start by itself or maybe after I reboot. No way killing a process would affect its ability to be restarted FOREVER.

Wrong. It NEVER came back despite trying so many things. Rebooting, clearing cache and dalvik, activating/deactivating it through settings. Ridiculously frustrating. I could see the process running prior to this incident by looking at the Greenify list of background apps running (GlanceViewMk). It never reappeared. My searching showed that some other task killers would kill the function. But I do not have any other task killers running, and it is not on my Greenify hibernated list.

Oddly, the tutorial glanceview would work just fine sometimes. Just could not get it to work in real life! Clearly the tutorial runs a different process from the system glanceview. And yes, it was lying flat and undisturbed when I would try to activate it.

In the end, I had to resort to restoring the system partition from an older TWRP backup. Could not figure out any way to run/restart the glanceviewmk process directly. Just good luck I had an older nandroid saved.

[General Questions and Answers] Sushant Rohan:
Sorry I can't understand what you want to say.

I think you want to install CM on your phone

Backup all your stuff before doing anhthing

To do this at first you have to unlock the bootloader of your phone. To do this download the adb/usb driver of your phone AND adb, connect your phone with PC and in the adb shell type the following

Adb devices

Fastboot oem unlock

Fastboot format userdata

That's all

The next step is to install Custom Recovery. Download the CWM Recovery for your device and flash recovery by Odin. Now the next step is to install Cyanogen. Download the file, place into the SD Card, boot phone into recovery mode and wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data factory data reset. Now come to the main menu and select install from zip. Navigate to the file and thats it

Hit thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fireattack:
Inb4 "check your software number".. some developers has said to me it's just the software of the ROM you're using, not essentially the firmware.

Okay, let's assume it's true, but we can't flash unsigned or MID and CID mismatched firmware without s-off, right?

However, the fact is I'm using a 5.0.2 international version ROM on my originally at&t 4.4.2 s-on phone (build number 6.xx, don't remember) without any problem. And the build number now shows "7.19.401.2" without any firmware flashing.

So I considered software number != firmware number. If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Another method I found says to use "fastboot getvar all" and check "INFOversion-main". I checked, mine is just BLANK.

So, how I can find the firmware version, really?

I saw a thing from Google saying, "87 images were uplaoded to Google+." I figured everything was fine so I deleted the photos from the Gallery, only to find out that the photos I deleted had not yet been uploaded to Google+. I deleted like 15 relevant photos but then deleted quite a few more photos from other time periods as well.

So I rooted the phone and installed DiskDigger and after running it on the data partition of my HTC One M8, it isn't finding any of the photos I deleted, just some system file images and then some random photos I took but did not delete :s

Did I lose the ability to recover the photos because I overwrote the space after rooting?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaenon:
Downloaded another file recover-er and it "recovered" the same photos that DiskDigger recovered.

I guess the photos are lost. :(

Giveway direct link:

http://gvwy.io/h21ncri

The Samsung Galaxy S6 edge is the phone to have if you want to stand out from a crowd of nondescript slabs. Featuring a sleek aluminum frame and a mirror-smooth glass back, the S6 Edge looks and feels truly premium. But it’s the dual sloping edges that really make this phone stand out, both in terms of looks and functionality – the edges can act as a customizable notification light when the phone is placed on its screen, or as a notification area that gives you key info at a glance.

On the inside the Galaxy S6 Edge is almost identical to the S6, offering best in class specs, including a 14-nm processor, 3GB of RAM, a 16MP camera, and a Quad HD AMOLED screen. Everything is packed into a compact and light body, available in four colors.

With the Galaxy S6 Edge, Samsung really delivered what people have been clamoring for: a truly premium phone, with no compromise in terms of functionality.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaguar.theimmortal:
Hi Team ,

Do we have any manufacturer who has made camera less android phone. If yes then please share link from where a person can order the same.

If not then would request to the people of all the manufacturers to create an android smartphone with out camera.

Reason for asking cameraless phone : Now a days many people have to sit in clean bay's where camera phones are not allowed.

Due to which those people feel that they have taken a huge step behind. But if they are given the power of camera less phones then it would be a huge step for them i.e. Clean Bay people.

So would request you to propagate this idea to all the manufacturers. Also please keep the product under 5-6K/- INR as no one would be interested in wasting a huge amount of money in a camera less phone.

Is it me or does Lollipop on the G Flex 2 suck? I've heard rumors of problems with the Snapdragon processor, but I think overall my experience with LG phones leads me to believe that Lollipop might be the problem. The battery life is average at best, where as other LG phones like the G2 (KitKat) have way better battery life. Performance lags on the G Flex 2, for example if you drag down the notification menu there's a small lag. :rolleyes:
