[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Week 2 Update:

So it's been about 2 weeks since I've had my Note 4 and I am still loving it! I've even been able to get up to 5 days of battery life by disabling WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and Cell Data Connectivity and only turning them on when I need them.

I've also discover that the slight bulge in the center of the display is part of the Note 4's design as it sports 2.5D glass, which enables better viewing angles than traditional flat displays. I'm still blown away by how good the colors look on the SuperAMOLED QuadHD display, I recently rewatch the Ryu & Ken Vs M.Bison (Vega to those in Asia) fight in the end of the Street Fighter II anime movi, which really shows off the display! I've also played a few low power games Unlock and Bejewelled 2 that work great as expected. I did do a quick race in Asphalt 8 and I barely noticed any dropped frames or lag in performance.

Call quality is excellent and I do get excellent cell reception despite the fact that my cell provider doesn't have particular good network coverage.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
Good for you ! Looking forward to your week 3 update !
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slit:
Me too, keep on DarkGuyver!

Shame that My 910C doesn't have good network... only 1 line while I've had all 4 with the same SIM/same company on Galaxy S3 :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
That's interesting, if you got good cell coverage with your SGS3 then you should get cell coverage with your N910C. Who is your cell provider?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slit:
Jazztel, they use Orange network.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I would find out what LTE Bands they use as that could be what is causing the problem with your Note 4. But then again the N910C does work with allot of international Cat4 LTE bands.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slit:
Strange thing is, my reception seems bad but I have no problem calling and responding. I've read some users with the same behaviour... weird.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
That is strange if you get good cell reception for calling then you should get good cell data reception too.... Are you using a metal rimmed or full metal case?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] one-option:
I have the same issue, when my Note 4 (indoors) is not used for few hours like through the night the signal strength indicator will show one or two bars, some time no bars !!!!!

I feel it is like standby status, but when you make a call the signal strength indicator will jump full bars, the call quality not always good ...........but I feel there is some kind of issue with the firmware !!!!!!!!

it is like dropping signal

I have N910C Kitkat firmware.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] slit:
Good to know. I'll stick with Lollipop for now, then. Let's hope 5.1.1 solves anything :)

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

No I don't, I'm using official Smart Cover. Gotta root 5.0.1 (Viper4Android is a must) and wait for 5.1.1 in hopes of fixing reception :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
OK, so it's been a month since I've had my Note 4. I'm still loving it, it is a excellent phablet. I don't have any complaints about it at all, I'm glad that I decided to purchase the N910C rather the the N910F as I've never liked the SnapDragon SOC to begin with. Call quality is excellent, I've just discovered that I can make a call by keying in the number on the dialer/bring up the contact details in my contacts then put my phone to my ear and it will make the call automatically. Which is a excellent feature, shame that it doesn't work for answering calls hopefully Samsung will included that feature in the next firmware update.

Gameplay, media consumption has been excellent as the Note 4 has a excellent QuadHD screen. I just love Samsung's Super AMOLED screens, I don't care what people say about the colors being over saturated. To me that has always been a excellent selling point. Surfing on the net using WiFi connectivity is excellent, I don't tend to use 3G or LTE that much as I am on a Pay As You Go SIM.

My next review will probably be after my Note 4 gets the update for 5.1.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I recently install Hitman Sniper on my Note 4 N910C and it has caused the screen to start flickering non stop. The icons on the screen also jump about and mesh with other icons. I've tried to do a hard factory reset thinking that it is a software error. But the screen still has the same problems. I've also tried to reflash the stock firmware back onto the device, but the end result is the same. I have mailed my Note 4 back to the retailer hopefully they will be able to repair or better yet send me a replacement soon.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
OK, so I've sent my Note 4 back to the retailer for repairs finally! But now I think I may have figured out what cause the problem with my Note 4. I know for a fact that all models of the Note 4, which utilize the Exynos 5433 OctoCore SOC are presently running on the 32bit version of android Lollipop 5.0.1 despite the fact that the Exynos 5433 is a 64bit Chip. I think when I installed Hitman: Sniper it forced the OS to try to run in 64bit mode and that is what caused my Note 4 problem.

What I haven't figured out is why when I reflashed the stock firmware, it didn't fix the problem?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] avercros:
That's impossible.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DaReDeViL:
That can't be. No app can push a 32bit system to work as 64bit. I would rather say that your gpu got damaged due to overheat or factory defect.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Insane Devil:
Hi,

I am playing Hitman Sniper from past 2 months on my Note4 N910C, and it works super smooth.

It could just be a coincidence that you installed Hitman Sniper and your screen hardware failed at the same time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I did consider that too. But since the guy at the Samsung Smart Support Center says it's probably due to software error, that was what got me wondering what could have caused the software problem.

So you have never experienced any problems with your Note 4 N910C after installing Hitman: Sniper on your device?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Insane Devil:
Yep, never experienced any kind of problems. It runs super good. And mine is the N910C.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
In that case it probably is a hardware error, which is what I suspected in the 1st case after the Hard Factory Reset failed to fix the problem. I will keep you guys updated when my N910C is returned from the retailer repaired or replaced.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bughlol:
Poor support and update policy. No more Samsung, next would be a Nexus or an iPhone
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Actually, Samsung has a pretty good support policy. It's just that since I'm in the UK and my Note 4 is a UAE model. They can't do anything to help me with my problem, because the UK branch can only provide support for device released in the EU.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Well, I've been told by the retailer that they are having problems finding the parts to repair my N910C. However they have offered me a refund, which is slight depreciated about £15. Probably for sending it to a 3rd Party Repairs Service Center for repairs. So I'm gonna be taking the refund and ordering another one. Once I've received the refund!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bughlol:
Try iPhone 6s Plus 64GB. I think it would be a nice upgrade rather than another Note 4, long forgotten by Samsung !
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
No , thanks! I'm staying as far away from iPhones as possible. I would rather get another Note 4 N910C. Besides my experience with the Note 4 N910C was really good until I discovered that I received a defective unit.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toolrsa:
Love my note 4 N910C

Purchased it after note 5 was released. Best phone ever used without a doubt.

Got a Hungarian version from Europe and works fine here in Africa. I have not really tried LTE as my network has little to no LTE coverage. I think get anouther note 4, Mine so far has been perfect and I'm now nearly 2 months in. Love the expandable SD card. Wife also enjoys the S-pen now but she wants the note 5 because it looks prettier. So now we wait for the release of the note 5 for her.

Regarding an Iphone. NEVER F***KING EVER. I have used IOS and why would you want to go there if you can have the freedom of Android. I know that I will not easily switch back to IOS.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Just got my brand new "replacement" Note 4 N910C in the mall today and it's currently updating the firmware to Lollipop 5.1.1. I will be posting a review about how my Note 4 performs over the next few days.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ianpan24:
+1 for the Samsung case. Fits perfect, nice grip, small size.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] freaktuning:
is any posibility to put on note 4 - 910C the version of LTE BAND 38(2600)

Because my phone N910C have only LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 17(700), 20(800)

and the only phone N910G have this band is LTE band 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 28(700), 38(2600), 40(2300)

any change to change the modem or?

thanks a lot
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
So I have been using my Note 4 for a few days now since I've gotten it and I have to say I haven't really notice any improvements or problems occurring running the 5.1.1 Lollipop update. In fact I think I'm getting more or less the same performance when compared to the 1st Note 4 I got running 5.0.1 Lollipop. I haven't notice any lag at all in performance, apps/games load very quickly and run very smoothly. There is no battery drain at all. Everything is running perfectly fine on my Note 4.

Nope that is not possible as LTE Band Frequencies are reliant of the modem, which is part of the motherboard.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
So I've finally been able to test the GPS functionality on my N910C and I can honestly say that it works great as a standalone GPS Navigator. I used it yesterday to find the venue for a job interview. I used Sygic and set the GPS function to connect only to GPS satellites. My N910C was able to get a GPS satellite lock within seconds after I had set the navigation points from my house to the interview venue and it guide me there very accurately!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Had to put in my two cents:

This phone is fabulous, don't know what all the complaining is about.

And on 5.1.1 it's clean, fluid and fast - even with Knox on.

The camera is fantastic, the build if just the right mix of metal and plastic, the screen is excellent and at least I don't experience stutter.

And sd Card.

I went out and bought the s6 edge plus and it is a beautiful phone and I still own it, however after a couple of months, the Note 4 feels better in the hand, does all the jobs equally well and has a stylus.

The Note 4 rocks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Just install the Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware update on my N910C. So far I haven't notice any performance issues, everything has been crisp and super smooth. I love the off-screen note taking function that was carried over from the Note 5. I wished that they added a flashlight button in the notifications panel instead of keeping it as a widget on the home screen. I not fond of the new version of S-Note as you can't drag the notepad down to preview whats written in the notepad.

Download Samsung new UI Good Lock. It has it. Its really good.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/good-lock/good-lock-24-0-8-release/good-lock-24-0-8-android-apk-download/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I took a look at it and I'm not fond of the stock android look. I prefer Touchwiz even with the neon green and turquoise look.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XDA_Tinker:
As to Good Lock it's not officially compatible with Note 4. Will give it a try when compatible.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Really? I heard that Good Lock is compatible with the Note 4 as long as you have the latest Marshmallow firmware update installed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Marshmallow 1 Week Update:

So I've had Marshmallow on my device for a week now. I haven't encountered any performance, software or hardware issue since I've installed the Marshmallow update on my device. Everything is running smooth with no lag or performance issues. I have noticed a few changes in the software. For instance the charging screen on my device when it's off and connected to the charger no longer displays the old bubbles and bubbling battery status when I am charging my device. The S-Note app has also changed and no longer displays my notes in a rotary style shelf with the ability to pull down to preview my note without having to open them is now gone. The rumored screen off note taking feature from the Note 5 has been transferred to the Note 4 and works great. The Note 5 style interface when you take out the S-Pen has also made it to the Note 4. Samsung's Music Player has changed a little, it no longer has the old audio adjustment options from the past and has newer options. The work just as well. Everything else remains the same with just the Samsung app icon's changing to the new Samsung rounded square style look. The default Samsung camera app is still the same as is the Note 4's Touchwiz UI. I am thankful that Samsung decided not to import the new style Touchwiz UI to the Note 4 as I'm not a fan of the White notification menu.

Senior Member145 posts Thanks: 34

Hello, I recently bought the Note 4 snapdragon variant (910F) and the rear speaker had a terrible hissing and static pop after audio being played. I returned the phone because of it, it was unacceptable. I really liked the phone so I heard that the Exynos variant has a different sound DAC.

Can some Exynos variant owner check for me if the speaker is hissing too? Like lock your phone (it should make a lock sound) then immediately put the rear speaker right next to your ear and listen if you can hear some static noise and then "click".

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I've never heard any hissing or static sounds from the rear speaker of my N910C. In fact this is the first time that I have heard of this problem. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ongbac:
There is a thread about this problem: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/terrible-hissing-white-noise-coming-t3045519

Can you please try locking your phone (it should make a lock sound) and right after you locked your phone put the rear speaker next to your ears and listen to some weird noise please?

thank you
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I've done that and I don't notice any weird noise coming out of the rear speaker at all.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Downloaded and installed the latest Marshmallow 6.0.1 firmware patch yesterday. So far nothing seems different everything seems the same. I think it's probably just a security patch but will post a update on how it affects my N910C later.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
It's been over a month since I've installed the June update onto my Note 4. Everything is working perfectly fine. DOSE has been improved and is now working better than before. Had to update Sygic to a newer version. Aside from those it's working great!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiguy99:
How's the battery life with MM compared to LP and KK?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JGKC9AYC:
Just read that Nougat isn't coming to the Note 4. Kinda bummed over that.

How many of you 910c owners that have Marshmallow went ahead & rooted your phone?

I'd like to check out the "true android experience" & see if I like it better.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Battery life has improve quite a bit thanks to DOSE. When compared to Lollipop. But then again I did get excellent battery life with Lollipop as my N910C came with it straight out the box!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiguy99:
Just got my N910C

Surprisingly, it also has LP on it!

Will see how the battery life goes before I update to MM

Do any of you have screen tint when you tilt the device slightly to one side?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Nope, my display doesn't have any tint when I tilt my device. I think you may have gotten a faulty unit, I'd send it back for a replacement if you've had it for less than 14 days.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiguy99:
Unfortunately I got it used.

Just left Sprint store and saw an S6, S6 edge, S7, S7 Edge & Note 7.

All phones on display had the same issue.

The Note 7 and S7 Edge were less pronounced but you could see blue tint at a wide angle.

Staring to think the good ones are rare and the tinted ones are normal

It's in sidekey panel if you switch off it works well with out hassle

I haven't noticed any sort of bug with the July ASP Update? In fact this is the first time I've heard of it at all! Could you give me more details about the bug?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XDA_Tinker:
To explore the bug, activate side key panel from notification panel and see for yourself.

When you open many app which asks for permission for storage or any other it'll neve allow it to grant permission
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Thanks for the info! I have the sidebar disabled as I never use it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XDA_Tinker:
You are most welcome mate!

As of now don't use it and I have already raised this issue in Samsung developers site.

Let's see if they can fix it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I hope that they managed to fix the optimizing apps screen issue that appears from time to time when you boot up your device.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kinsman-UK:
Haven't encountered this one, and I restart my phone every morning. Did you do a factory reset after the Lollipop->Marshmallow update?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Nope. As my N910C works perfectly beside that little problem.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
Installed the October 4th Marshmallow update yesterday. Does anybody know if this fixes the switched battery charging problem?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XDA_Tinker:
Are you sure it's October ASP for N910C? As I received September ASP update on 4th of October.

Could you please post screenshot?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XDA_Tinker:
What is "switched battery charging"?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
The problem is when you switch the battery that comes with your Note 4 with a brand new OEM replacement battery. You Note 4 won't stated that it has fully charged. I discovered this problem recently when I purchased another official Samsung Note 4 battery for my N910C as a spare. Everytime I charged the spare battery when my N910C was powered off, it would stop charging around 80%. I try calibrating the battery but that didn't work, thought it was faulty, got a replacement from the retailer. Same thing happened, did some research online found out it was a problem with the Marshmallow firmware.

Check out my thread about it for more information about the problem

[Galaxy Note 4 General] XDA_Tinker:
Thanks mate. Could you please share screenshot of ASP October update? as I have checked SamMobile firmware, SamFirm still shows September ASP
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
I've just checked the Settings -> About Device menu on my device and it states that has the 1st of Septembers Security update. So I think that it part of the 4th of October's firmware update for the N910C as I don't see anything else.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkGuyver:
So I've finally got a GearVR(SM-R323) and it does work with my N910C! :) Of course it took me a couple of tries to get it up and running. Found out the problem was that I had to have all the FaceBook apps that came installed on my device enable, before I could download anything from the Oculous Store. So far I've just used it for viewing watching videos and the experience has been amazing. However I couldn't find the VRSE app on the Oculous Store as I wanted to view Catatonic. Can anybody help me with that?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to unbrick my Moto E XT1021 but so far nothing work. Here are the infos:

Status: Device is unlocked (Status Code: 3), rooted, and CWM Recovery (v6.0.4.9) is installed.

Initially, I installed Kitkat Rom from this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7S5WmlPgrI, but after finishing, OTA showed me an update to 5.0.2, which I did. Everything work fine for about a month until last week where my phone just stop working.

Problem: Device is stuck on the Motorola Logo, bootloader loop.

Tested Solutions so far:

1- I tried to restore the stock firmware from the bootloader mode, but I always failed. I am applying the procedure given in:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2759495

but it always failed. The method is working and the phone's screen some instructions are appearing, but between them, I notice in red/pink color that the phone is saying:

....

hab check failed for boot

......

hab chck failed for recovery

2- I also tried to install zip from sdcard from the CWM Recovery, or even to simply wipe cache, .... but strangely I am getting error on CWM as following:

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install

E: Can't open/cache/recovery/last_install

and when I tried to install zip from sideload, I am also getting an error:

E:Error in /tmp/update.zip

(Status 7)

So.....basically, I do not know what to do or try more. Any idea. Please Help ?!!!

Thanks
