I had both and I guess everyones entitled to their opinion. I personally regret getting this piece of crap phone.

I have the s6 active and the g4. I love both!

Also have nexus 6 and s6 edge but selling those. Cant wait for g4 root!
[G4 General] zkyevolved:
Wow... OK... If you have a brother or sister that's a POC, then it doesn't matter because you're stuck together. This is a phone - an object. Something you use and toss (or can toss, trade, sell or destroy). No one is making you stick with it. If you honestly believe the G4 is a POS, then return it or sell it! You'll get a good buck on it! And if you are inclined to believe that the S6 (with it's lag, ram issues, low battery life, and lack of expansion of both battery and memory) is better, get it. If you're incline to believe that the Nexus 6 (with its equally low battery life, heating screen, slow camera shutter, and low outdoor visibility) is better, then by all means, get it! If you think the M9 (with its low capacity battery, lack of changeable batter as with the S6 and Nexus 6, terrible camera performance and toasty CPU), then get it!

No one EVER said the G4 was a perfect phone. But for MY usage, it's fantastic. I saw the other phones and I couldn't take the low battery life or the terrible cameras. Or even the lack of REALLY good multitasking (cough cough, S6 with terrible ram management and having to reload almost all apps every time or lag between each one).

Every phone has pros and cons guys. Find the one that's best for you. And if you're on the G4 thinking the grass is always greener, well, it isn't! Every, yes, EVERY device has issues! So find the one that works for you!!! That's what I did. I think the G4 design is just terrible, I don't like how it looks, but it stays cool, camera is great, and battery lasts more than 24 hours for me :) all pros that outweigh the cons!
[G4 General] Eagle1337:
Gotta say I've been loving my G4, summer is a slow time for phones. The G4 isn't selling as many phones as they hoped.
[G4 General] barondebxl:
The S6 is definitely better. Owned both.
[G4 General] sloany84:
Better is subjective.

For myself, a phone with an SD card slot, removable battery and FM radio is better than one without.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
gonna give tmo a call, ive been a customer for almost 10 years, they love giving me stuff when i call to say "hey what about us loyal customers?" :cowboy::cool:

seriously though, 120 bucks is a lot. my justification to the wife when i got this was that it was only 8.50 more than my nexus 5, but if i had waited 2 weeks and got it for only 3.50 more, i never would have asked her LOL

[G4 General] Dennisg34:
Bahahaha

[G4 General] barondebxl:
Of course its subjective. For me the better performance, root, better battery life, cleaner UI and more features make the S6 the definite winner. No touch screen issues nor heating issues as well.
[G4 General] seekfind:
Touch issues are usually firmware/Kernel related. in my region, the V10C update fixed all touch and knock issues and the phone is running pretty smoothly. I bet it will be available to you too. in the unlikely event that it's actually a hardware issue, you can always RMA it.

as others said, Root is not a magical fix-it-all, and neither is Xposed. they will give you more control, and the ability to use modded codes and patches, but with a flagship, with LG's reputation hanging in the balance, I'm pretty sure they will fix all such bugs with updates in the very near future. It just requires some patience.
[G4 General] legend221:
As someone else said not all phones are experiencing touch and knock issues. I'm on the v10b software and with the sgs app I was able to eliminate the slight lag I had. No way I'll take an update to screw up my chance to root and hopefully bootloader unlock / safe strap in the future.

Best of luck to all that have issues with their phone, the LG G4 is truly a thing of beauty.

[G4 General] jaron7_11:
Called T-Mobile and they took off 50 for me
[G4 General] DsturbD:
i called today and asked if it would be better if i just return it and buy it again, she said let me see what i can do, came back on and took $70 off my EIP balance, its not the full $120 but its better than a poke in the eye
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Those who got partial credits are still within 30 days or something?
[G4 General] player911:
Prices drop all the time. I have friends that sell phones for Verizon and Tmobile and they say the G4 is flying off the shelves. I personally know several people who own the G4 (without my recommendation) and love it.

I 2nd the Factory Reboot. Mine was retarded out of the box. I believe it has something to do with the carrier skipping the setup. Mine also seems to be stupid after I got the update.

There are several touchscreen "fixes". There is a Keyboard update (which still crashes and gives me grief), disable MultiWindow Support, use different launcher (kills data sucking widgets), go into Accessibility and change touchscreen delay to "medium".

All in all the G4 has a few software related bugs out of the gate. Nothing show stopping. None of my friends have had any trouble from their G4s.

Carriers don't drop prices based on phones not having Root Access either btw. That is just stupid. They are the ones who enforce those restrictions.
[G4 General] shook187:
I was about 32 days into my EIP when I called in and was credited $60. But mind you that was the morning I saw this thread. With so many people probably doing it, it might be a bit too late but give them a call give it a try you never know.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
yeah i got mine 14 days ago

when i called, the lady said the G4 price drop was to counter the S6 prices, but i dont see any price drops there so not sure if she knew what she was talking about
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
I guess there probably isn't much for me since I'm 2 months in.
[G4 General] jaron7_11:
Call and try... I pre ordered the 1st day it was available for pre order... They gave me 50 off
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Retentions or regular customer service?

I just tried with regular customer service and they shot me down. I also pre-ordered first day.
[G4 General] jaron7_11:

[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Luck of the draw, I guess. I'll try t-force. Thanks. :)
[G4 General] jorgeefflores:
I called customer service and ended up getting the 120 off my EIP, but ymmv

nice job, i only got 70 back and i got mine 2 weeks ago
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Looks like it dropped another $48 this morning..
[G4 General] Egrier:
I wish AT&T would drop the price on their G4. They still want over $600 for it!
[G4 General] DsturbD:
not for tmobile, still 480
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
$433 directly from Tmo today. Look at the ad on the bottom.
[G4 General] DsturbD:
i think thats the $48 off deal for the S6
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Please see here for more information:

[G4 General] DsturbD:
oh well, good grief, thats a web only deal and wasnt anywhere on tmobiles site, so its not quite the same thing as what they are advertising as 120 off the regular price. its not the same as a price drop, but i digress, doesnt matter anyway
[G4 General] erwaso:
Pretty sure the G2 and G3 went down in price about 6 months out on AT&T. Was perfect for me when I got the G3.

I hope the volume is never there for LG so I can always get their phones at discounted prices lol. All the while Samsung and Apple buyers keep paying full price lol.

I love my G4 and never had an issue. Awesome you guys are getting retro price matches.

Ended up selling my G4 on Craigslist for $400 with the spare battery and rebought it for the new price of $479 using JUMP on demand....now I could dump this puppy been easier
[G4 General] ghodzilla5150:
Exactly my same situation. My wife has an S6 (Sprint) and me G4 (Verizon) and my G4 blows her S6 away. No comparison
[G4 General] BlueGoldAce:
I had the s6 edge since mid march (tmobile early release) and got the lg g4 this week. The battery on the s6 and random lag was killing me. I am absolutely loving the g4, despite the "inferior" hardware. Now I can sale my s6 edge for max resale.

That being said....I am now on jump on demand, so Ill look long and hard at the note 5 and any other upcoming phones.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Emailed t force two days ago for an adjustment and still haven't received a response.
[G4 General] ghodzilla5150:
I'm on Jump as well (Love that program) and I will just keep my LG G4. The Note 5 will be an amazing phone and it would be the only phone I would upgrade for but I just don't like Samsungs version of Android. It;s just boring to me now (I had the S3 before jumping to the LG G2 and I have not looked back).
[G4 General] Z3ldaFan88:
I had my fair share of issues with the G4 at first (miss touches, lag, freezing, ect.) However, all I had to do was hit it with a factory reset and after that the phone was good to go.

I have not had a single freezing issue or a miss touch since about day 3/4 when I did my factory reset.....I do not really understand why this fixes these issues, but it really does seem to.
[G4 General] EvoYas:
G4 is fine, and retailers will do price cuts and what not to move the product. Just cuz you get something at a good price don't mean its bad. I am a satisfied customer who got it for 479. Waiting on my free battery and back cover. Also root will come no matter what, so relax and enjoy.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
I forwarded my email to John Legere's office since TForce never responded. Today, I received a call from his office with an offer for $60 bill credit.

Thanks for the objective, clear-headed post that cuts through the FUD and whining. Summary of other top phones' shortfalls is particularly helpful.

TMobile chat rep's are saying the 48OFFDEAL at online checkout is no longer available.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Hello, all. I was hoping someone around here could help me confirm something that I was told by multiple T-Mobile employees when attempting to purchase the LG G4 at this discounted price.

Is it really true that the deal is only good for customers on a postpaid contract? I have a prepaid contract that I have zero intention of getting rid of and was told that because of this the price of the phone to me would be $629.99 instead of $479.99. Completely ridiculous. I saw no fine print stating as much anywhere. All the articles online say it is $479.99 OFF CONTRACT. If anyone can steer me in the right direction here I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
[G4 General] thegrants82:
No, that's not true.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Do you know how I can get these dip****s to figure that out? I got nowhere both in the store and on the phone with multiple employees. Was hoping to buy this phone before the end of the month to capitalize on both the sale and the mail in rebate extras being offered currently.

Very frustrated as of right now. Thanks in advance for the help.
[G4 General] Sfkn2:
Purchase it from the tmo website and save yourself the time of trying to argue with them.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Yeah, that's not working either.
[G4 General] Johnny Broccoli:
Just to confirm for anyone else dealing with the same BS in an attempt to not get raped on phone price: this deal (and others like it) are definitely doable whether you are prepaid or postpaid. They just made me buy $40 in "credits" for my next month's bills (since I'm a prepaid customer). Just gotta talk to someone who knows what the hell they're doing.
[G4 General] UktenaWarrior28:
Just got off the phone with T-Mobile. I told them about the price slash and since I been a customer for like 11 or 12 years now they cut my payments by two and a moths and $60. It's not a lot but It helps. The guy was friendly as hell and did what he could to get me a cut

Here's a Stockish ROM for your N910P. This ROM has Knox, Sprint ItsOn, and automatic Sprint software downloads (first boot) removed only. Nothing else was done to this ROM. I'm new to the Note 4 so I may upload patches to remove any other traces of Knox or ItsOn or optimizations I happen to find while making my own ROM.

Prereq: OF5 Baseband. Download it below.

Odex:

OF5 Baseband:

[size=+3]DeOdex note:[/size]

The first boot time for this DeOdex ROM is very long. Approximately 5-8 minutes. Your phone will get hot as the splash screen remains on the yellow Sprint boot animation. I recommend keeping your phone in a cool environment while this is happening. The heat, if not properly checked, can make boot times even longer as the system throttles speed in order to deal with the heat. This doesn't happen on the Odex version.

ok, so you have to have done the base band update to flash this ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DRUMMERCD360:
Any way to update from OE1 to OF5 baseband without a computer? Don't have one at the moment...if not its ok i can wait...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freeza:
I could include a TWRP flashable, but I'm not sure if the baseband even applies from a recovery flash. I've seen some devs include basebands in their ROM packages, but I have yet to see any evidence of a baseband flash being successful from recovery on either the Note 3 or Note 4. But if you want to try it out, I will do it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DRUMMERCD360:
Yeah definitely im down to test anything...thank you i appreciate it very much...if you ever need a tester for anything else im always available

Does the new baseband give u better reception
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ianmb:
Awesome! Just in time. Had to take my phone in to Sprint to have battery/usb port replaced. Took about an hour and half and when they gave me my phone back, the home button was flush if not under the screen glass. I told the guy that this was not how I bought the phone or how it was when I brought it in. He said "let me go back and see if I can push the screen down some more"? about 2 minutes later the manager comes out and walks over to the Samsung displays and...yep the home button IS above the glass. I watch her go behind the counter asking the other sales people if they have anymore black note 4's. Nope...so they tell me I will be getting a new Note 4 shipped to my house on Tuesday. So if it has the OF5 already on it...this will be my first ROM! And they took off my Zagg glass screen protector, so I have to pay s/h for a new one. Funny thing is when I got home I took the phone apart myself and fixed the home button!

Sorry for off topic but saw this posted and was relieved. So, thanks freeza for this.

And yes my phone was rooted when I took it in and they never questioned it.

F $*k yeah

thank you ...

Does anyone know how to update to the latest update from ob7?

Should i unroot and take the update and then root?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DarkManX4lf:
Rather than doing it that way, you should be able to just use odin to update the basebad with the tar in freeza's first post. Then flash his OF5 deodex or odex rom.

Double check your MD5. AFH seems to be having issues they aren't aware of. I had to do like 6 different downloads to get one with a matching MD5, and despite my 100Mb/s connection, they still each took a couple of hours. I got a clean flash finally, and the ROM does work well. (I also triple wiped EVERYTHING, including internal storage. Not sure if that made a difference or not.)

So you linked TWRP for the Note 4 Edge...which I installed...and now my touch screen is off by about an inch. I figured no big deal I can Odin back to stock (in my case, NK2 is what I had lying around)...it did not fix it. Any ideas?

To clarify, I realize I should have read which version you linked more closely, not blaming anyone just want to fix my phone now :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jivany:
I do appologize i must of linked it way to fast you need to go thru the twrp website which all links are together and the note 4 is right under the note edge link. Anyways heres the right link. https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote4qualcomm.html
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] soul44:
No worries at all - and I did go back and get the correct one. But my touch screen is still about an inch off - what I mean is, I have to click above a button to get it to register on the bottom. It's been a guessing game, but so far I am in the correct TWRP and attempting a restore from an old backup to see if it flushes this stuff out. I'm suprised a clean Odin didn't work but we'll see if this does.

Update: No dice...restored the backup I made right before I started, and when I reboot the phone buzzes once and goes black. I may have to take my phone in but I'll be without it all week - live too far from Sprint lol. :(
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] qubanaso:
Downloading 3 at the moment lol wish me luck
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lickarock:
Let us know how it goes. I ended up running 4 downloads in parallel. Don't even know which mirror it was that worked.

Weirder still, my S-pen is perfect. Clicks right where the tip of the pen is. But my finger goes from dead-on accurate in the top left to 1-2 inches off in total at the bottom of the screen. Any dev happen to know where this calibration might be? Hoping to delete it and force it to recreate.
