i want battery test i ordered in clove.co.uk :D
[X Play General] cheesiepoof:
Per the manufacturer's website the XT1563 supports these LTE bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 17, 28
[X Play General] egesp:
Hi paorpas. Did you bought Moto X xt1563 dual sim. Runs correctly in Spain? Where do you ordered it?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
I read a poster online saying t-mobile took the note 4 off their list of available devices and for the hell of it I checked Sprint and it's not there either? Note 5 is though. :confused:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] blackte4:
Just get it off Swappa.com
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Well I know there's other places to get it and I already have one but I'm wondering why retail sites and stores don't have it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
I guess this means Sprint Note 4 owners can resell their phones for a much higher price! :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Lol. They'll probably put it back up. Just found it a little weird that's all.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yoshi1221:
When I spoke to a sprint rep in the store, he said they only do it through special order, at least for now. Wonder if they will get rid of the Note Edge too.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kbrn:
They probably did cause with the specs of the new Note 5 and obvious price drop of the Note 4 who in their right mind would be willing to pay more for the Note 5??

Yes it does have a newer processor, Yes it has one more GB of Ram and a little upgrade on the front facing camera

BUT

Our Notes have Removable battery, a microSD card slot and an IR blasterand a bigger capacity battery.. BAAAMM!!

Is it really an upgrade?? Me doesn't thinks so!!

SO maybe, just maybe it's and strategy so they don't have to drop the price so much on the Note 4.

From today, I consider my Note 4 an Authentic Gem!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] NamelessFragger:
So much for my plan of "buy up the Note 4 so it vastly outsells the Note 5 and Samsung gets the hint"!

Interestingly enough, Sprint still offers the Note Edge, which is pretty close if you don't mind the shape and lack of Gear VR support.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
Think of it this way. If it's essentially a downgrade, then you should be able to get a premium price for your Note 4. And if you can't get a premium price for your Note 4, then maybe it's not such a downgrade after all.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Crossrocker:
Just bought a note 4 from best buy 20 mins ago :D

I looked around for a while and had to drive to a different best buy because most stores dont have them in stock. They even increased the price to 299!! The manager was reduced it to 199 after i complained for a minute.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Damn man wow. Makes me wonder how they're going to handle replacement devices moving forward. If I had to I wouldn't want no damn Note 5 that's for sure!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] flyhighx:
Hadn't thought of that. If something happened to my Note 4 and it had to be replaced by a Note 5 I would be seriously disappointed. How many times have you felt that way about a product where you would NOT want to replace your older model with a newer one?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yoshi1221:
Found the reason why the note 4 is not there anymore, just talked to a guy at sprint. He said that Samsung was requiring Sprint to pull the Note 4 and Note edge from stores. The Note Edge is still for sale online, but it probably won't be sold much longer. In other words, the Note 5 and S6 Edge+ are the NEW Note 4 and Note Edge. Also found out all accessories were pulled from sprint too.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] denero1:
I guess they know their "new" product isn't up to par and rather then give their loyal fanbase the device they asked for they are going to force the note 5 down users throat. To the average consumer they won't notice and will likely get it because its in stock but to those with a little know how and the will to put a grade school level puzzle together we will realize whats going on.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
I knew that was the reason. Everyone else still has it. That is just wrong and sucks on sooooooo many levels. I told Sprint yesterday how unhappy I was with them and Sammy over this. The Note 5 is a downgrade for me and will not get it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Yup. What really sucks is we have great devs now but with the device being unavailable this kinda puts a couple nails in the coffin for the future of dev support. Also what's going to happen now with future software updates from Samsuck and Sprint??
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] schlepprock:
I guess it's all part of a bigger plan.

Note4 Rocking a Hybrid Rom
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yoshi1221:
Yep, I am predicting something will happen with the S7/Note 6, but that's quite a wait for now. Seeing as if they pulled any note 4/edge phones, my next phone will either be the G4 or M9. I loved it when they say in their unpacked video "Samsung is listening to the community." They aren't listening at all. It's all just another way to get money.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
More like a lesser plan, as they are about to realize. I bought a used one. Samsung didn't get any money and neither did Sprint. No contract renewal, bad will for both companies, etc. Thinking, after decades with Sprint, of moving my service to another carrier - one that actually has coverage.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] smarcin:
I'm looking for a Note 4 right now on CL or maybe eBay. I was hoping to upgrade from my Note 3 to the Note 5. Not. No microSD, no removable battery, smaller battery capacity. I actually talked to Sprint CS to ask about getting a Note 4. They said best chance was to check the stores. I guess they can order one, maybe, if the stores don't have any. I, too, am reluctant to give Sprint and Samsung money for a new Note 4. Maybe we'll take all five of us and go to a different carrier. I just hate the idea of giving up unlimited data. :(
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yoshi1221:
In this case it's not so much sprint's fault, it's the big corporate Samsung that delivered the final word. They keep worrying about trying to copy apple instead of worrying about the satisfaction of customers.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
I'd say that's a good business plan, since Apple sells so many phones. I'm not saying that what I want, but what I want probably doesn't match what the larger consumer market wants. Remember, Samsung wants to sell phones. They don't necessarily care about selling phones to YOU. And if they don't please YOU, then that doesn't necessarily mean they're not satisfying customer demands. It just means the customer demands don't match what YOU want.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
I agree. But it's not just what I or you or what we want. The news of this "new" note is something that hundreds of thousands of users all over the Internet have been upset about and I think, and I may be dead wrong, but I think it's really going to have a backlash against Samsung. And how the hell do they just go ahead and discontinue a device that hasn't even been out a full year? Especially when that device could actually continue to bring in good revenue for them. They could have put a mark up on it or done whatever they wanted to. Instead they make like it never even existed. Probably the reason why they shoved 5.1.1 down are throats while NO other carrier has seen it yet and at this point we can consider ourselves lucky I guess because who knows if anyone else will actually see that update. I'm sorry but this is just unheard of.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] ryanalan82:
Another problem is how long will they have replacement stock. If for some chance needed a replacement note 4 and they tried to shove the note 5 down my throat..... That is completely unacceptable.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Yeah I mentioned that a few posts ago. I don't know anymore. I guess ranting and raving about it here isn't going to really get us anywhere. I just hope the vast majority that are already pissed off help with making Samsung fall flat in their face. But most likely that will not happen.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
Sucks When I'm Right!

Oh looky, looky!

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_gal...rittleness_of_the_glass_design-blog-13595.php

"To be fair, this was all but expected, considering the Note5 carries over the glass design of the Galaxy S6 edge, down to the curves and is thus likely to be just as brittle. In fact, because the sloping edges are now on the back, instead of the front, the Note seems to be even more affected by a drop on its back. Furthermore, the 5.7-inch phablet is considerably bigger than the edged flagship, which also spells out trouble."

Note 4

Bought the lasttttttt one on swappa, sammy or sprint wont get my money now. Muah hahahaha, no easy pay plan just mine, all mineeeeeeeee muahahahahaha.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
Well, my used Note 4 wasn't shipping and I got the feeling the guy didn't really have it - Edge Celluar, Amazon - so I drove an hour and picked one up from BB. It's charging now and I have an ENORMOUS smile on my face. I hate that Sammy does get my $, but at least it's a Note 4 in charcoal, sends a message to both Sprint and Sammy re: Note 5, and it is mine all mine, too! :victory: :cool:

Take that N5!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] diagoro:
If this is true, that's a major jack move on the part of Samsung. I was looking to either upgrade, or move to Verizon, but in both cases was hoping to do so with the Note 5. Looks like it might be time to ditch Samsung, seems they've done the same to their customers.....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
I'm with you, but I'm holding out to see if they drop the note line when it's time for version 6 or get their heads back on straight. This is the phone I want. Period. Buying a Note 4 gives me two years breathing room in case they FU and dump the note or I don't like the N6.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] diagoro:
I just ran to the local Sprint store, the rep said they are no longer carrying them.

I than went to the Best Buy a few blocks away. Same thing. The Samsung rep came over. I asked "has Samsung pulled all the Note 4s from circulation"? He nodded his head....

I told him straight out that it was a d(*^ move on the part of Samsung, and walked out.

I'm really stuck now. I bought the Samsung sports band a month ago, but just pissed they would pull this stunt.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Yeah man it's wrong on so many levels. I wouldn't be that sour really though. I mean yes you absolutely should but we'll be lucky to see any further updates or support for this device. It's sad but I'm thinking that's exactly what's going to happen. I at least thought that after the note 5 came out we would see other carriers and regions across the globe start to see 5.1.1 roll out but that has not happened and probably won't. This is just insane for a "flagship device" to be treated this way.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] diagoro:
I'm kind of glad Sprint didn't have it. My time with Sprint has been noteworthy for two things, exceptionally bad service and customer service. Really got tired of being asked to "please bare with us while we continue to upgrade towers". That line works for a few months, not the three years I heard it.

I went the local Verizon store, they had a few Note 4s in stock. Things worked out after all :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
That's good. Happy it worked out for you.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yoshi1221:
Yeah, I agree. Now that I have no contract or easy pay left, I am probably going to switch to T-Mobile. Only thing that is keeping me at sprint now is that I am moving out of state, and that $20.00 in savings helps. Lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
I feel your pain. I really do. I called Sprint about something and she asked me to add a line. I told her, in no uncertain terms, that Sprint and Sammy screwed this one up! I told her that given what went on, what it took for me to find and buy a Note 4 (40+/- hours searching, paying full price, and two hour drive) that not only did I not want a new line of service, but at this point Sprint would be lucky if I didn't move my service when my contract expires in two months. I could sell this bad boy (and it IS) now if I wanted, move to another carrier and get the note through them.

TMob is looking really good right now. I bet they'd even cover my contract cancel fee if I jumped ship. ;)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] diagoro:
I will say, giving up the unlimited data was painful. Even if I get better service in general, it was nice not having to worry about going over...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] smarcin:
This really makes me mad!

So, I had talked to CS on the phone yesterday. They said it was best to try to get a Note 4 from the stores. So, I called 2 corporate stores in my area. The first one just said they didn't have any. The second one the guy said he didn't have any AND he'd checked all the MN stores for some business customers. No Note 4s in MN. I'm kind of stuck, as I was an old SERO customer. The plan I have, I can't go into BB or Sam's Club or wherever. They can't upgrade my account. Three of the BBs in my area have some Notes. I'm trying to decide if I want one bad enough to pay the $799. The guy at the corporate store said I could buy it at BB and have it activated on my line. If I could find one on CL or EBay, it might only be half of $799. There are very few Sprint Note 4s on CL around here. Not many on EBay, either. :crying:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] _super_mario_:
I don't think it's coming back on sale. I called sprint yesterday to get a note 4 and the representative told me they stopped receiving shipments 3 weeks ago. I told him other carriers have it and he said that once they run out of stuck they will also stop selling it. Idk how accurate that is but it seems Samsung had a feeling the note 5 wouldn't be a huge hit and decided to pull the note 4 to improve sales. I can't remember a time when a previous model was discontinued do to the new model coming out
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] KLPFL:
so is our note 4 going to worth a lot on resell or it's a piece of junk since sammy taking off after less than year while the note 1 - 3 still following around...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] BubZX:
I really hope if something happens to my awesone Note 4 that when i have to use my insurance i do not get a Note 5. That's the only thing that has me wondering. I bet if u had to do an insurance claim they have plenty of refurbs ready to go.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Maybe maybe not. Samsung really doesn't want this phone to exist apparently. One day though I probably will just get a note 5 anyway. You really can't beat the look of the amoled display. And the software can't be that terrible. It's just what I'm going without that really sucks. Removable battery SD and ir blaster. Not to mention the lack of future software updates which I'm willing to bet will be the next thing they will throw out the window with this device.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bonebeatz1234:
I'm wondering how many people are gonna get the note 5 or s6 edge plus just to sell on Craigslist for 1,000 when you can get it cheaper from the store everytime a new phone comes out Craiglist flooded with phones.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadeoblac:
Looks like the Note Edge is still being sold on Sprint. May be a viable replacement. Still has removable battery, SD, and IR Blaster. Battery just isn't as big.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
Viable replacement at full price though. Insurance is only 200 I think. Doubt sprint will give you the option but as someone else stated they probably have a ton of refurbs so until someone actually tries we just won't know.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
I did however try to just start a bs claim with assurion but the note 4 did not show up on the list of available devices to replace. Then it just promoted me to call customer care which was pretty strange. Not sure if I might have missed something but it should've been there.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Shadeoblac:
That's true. I was thinking for people trying to get the Note 4 for the first time.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] mikejones13:
I'm gonna be pissed if I have to do an insurance claim in the next 4 months and they give me an edge considering I bought the Gear VR which ONLY works with the Note 4! Looks like sapple just lost my household.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
I'll be really pissed if something happens because there's no other device I want at the moment. I will be handling with kid gloves and babying it. I want zero issues, and apparently going beyond KK4.4.4 has all its own issues. WTF?! Loving the device, though. All setup and so sweet.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] NamelessFragger:
You and me both! Do they really expect us to plunk down another $200 for a new Gear VR that just happens to work with Samsung's new phones, on top of a $600+ phone that you'll probably have to tack on another $100-200 just to get a decent amount of storage on?

Oculus Connect can't come soon enough, and in the meantime, it's yet another thing the Note 4 can do that the Note 5 can't. (If I had to guess, they might be planning a new set that supports both models due to similar dimensions and the same microUSB port, but given how badly Samsung wants to kill our beloved Note 4 to make way for the Note 5, which they never did with the prior Notes when their successors released...)

It's a shame about the Note Edge's lack of compatibility with Gear VR for seemingly no other reason than not bothering to have the one headset physically support both phones, because that's literally the only reason I wanted a standard Note 4 over the Edge. Here's hoping that someone can actually hack the Gear VR Service and other needed software onto the Note Edge and make any needed physical mods to the headset to get it working in the right place...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] smarcin:
I'm pretty happy tonight. I was able to get a Note 4 off of Craigslist today. I've been busy learning Lollipop. I never updated my Note 3 to Lollipop. Didn't want to screw it up. You better believe I'm gonna hang onto my Note 3, though, in case I ever have trouble replacing this Note 4. All in all, I really like my Note 4 a lot. Can't beat the fast charging!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
Ditto! ;)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yoshi1221:
T-Mobile is selling the Note 4 for $549.99. With my work, I am eligible for a discount, so I am switching to them and using my Sprint Note 4. And the sad thing is, T-Mobile ended up being cheaper on plans than sprint, lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
I saw that. That's why I was so po'd. I could move to Tmob, get a great price, better plan (okay, mostly the same), etc. I have my Note 4 now, but it was very tempting.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
They might have them right now but this move to take them off the shelf seems more like Samsungs doing rather than sprint. Maybe I'm wrong but we might just see all carrier's dropping them after they're out of stock. Only time will tell.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
That's actually why I grabbed mine. Contract not up yet and they might be gone by the time it is. So thankful to have my N4 in hand and configured. Give it thirty days of testing or so, and I'm root bound and all the way down. :victory:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Corbitt74:
GOD the new note 5 sucks so bad! Iphone with a different name. I dont want a Iphone!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Barkleyfan:
I think the overt push to monetize data and incorporate planned obsolescence into their product line will serve to elevate the competition. I, for one, was looking to replace my wife's phone and discovered this issue. Now I'm mad. They can take the note 5 and fist themselves with it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
Wow! That's the best I've heard my sentiments put. :victory::good::good::laugh:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
So you really can't find one? This just sucks. Not even a year.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
I am a hundred shades of pi$$ed over this move, frankly. Sprint doesn't know how close they are to losing me after at least fifteen years. Bad joojoo!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] diagoro:
Sprint lost my business. I only had them for three, but it was a rough three years. I honestly have no idea how they retain any customer base. By far the worst excuse for customer service I've ever experienced (than, there's the data/signal issue).

Found the Note 4 at a Verizon store. The best data I ever pulled with Sprint was 20m down. I got a 67m down on the new phone. Very happy so far (aside from the growing pains)...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Yoshi1221:
Sprint lost me too, but not because of the note 4, but they throttled my data to 2G after 12GB. They claimed it was the towers, but it's been going on for days. Switching to T-Mobile with my note 4 this week! :)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] adrianr514:
Guarantee you that Sprint didn't throttle you. still getting around 15mbps down
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
I stay for the unlimited data. Nothing else.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DaggettBeaver:
That's why I've stayed, but it's probably not worthwhile for me. I'm almost always on WiFi, so limited data would be fine for me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] diagoro:
Unlimited 3G? Yeah, it was a nice safety blanket, not having to check my usage. But in the end, I had little to no service in most the places I visited. Part of that was due to a (slightly) older phone, but the Note 2 always had issues.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

I never meant to imply I was being throttled. Only that, in my experience, Sprint has had little or no service in many of the placed I go. Add to that the horrid support.......was just totally tired of being told "please bare with us".
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] toenail_flicker:
Same here, but the rest of my family needs the unlimited desperately. I'd get massacred if I moved the family unless I could match it.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

I suffer from that too, like when using GPS, so then I roam and get off of it asap. My needs and usage are somewhat unique, I think, because I rarely need to use the GPS

The good news here for me is that I live in the boonies (quiet and beautiful), work from home and own my own business. Using an airrave I'm on wifi most of the time so no data usage there and that leaves the data for when I really need it.

Checked my data after I saw your post and I've only used 3.65MB since the 18th. Keep in mind that I just got my N4 and haven't tested some of the features. I need to make a special trip to verify everything is working as it should and using the data will be part of that.
