I really only needed root for Wi-Fi tethering, and FoxFi does that for me beautifully. The new spen has a very slightly grippy tip, so it doesn't feel like you're dragging a piece of plastic across glass, and it feels nice. The live YouTube broadcasting it also nice. The glass on the back mark the N5 super slick when trying to hold onto it, so im a bit paranoid as I wait for my Neo Hybrid case to arrive. All in all, considering the cost I got the phone for, I definitely think it's worth the upgrade. I'll pray for root, but it's not a deal breaker for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] patt2k:
If you were in my position as a note4 owner and verizon saying you gotta pay 262$ to edge UP to note 5 would you do it ? When my bill is paid off in full that 262 will drop by -29.16$. And note4 total balance of 407$ something around that. So I would pay 232 I think then and I would have to give up my note4. This what I am debating with lol.. very tough decision.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] jpmcnown:
I'm probably not a good person to ask. I lose my ass every time I switch devices, and I'm strangely ok with that. I'm one of "those people" that simply line up to get whatever is new. There's a lot that was lost going to the the Note 5. My brother smashed the S5 I gave him, so he needed a new phone. I ended up using an upgrade from a different line, just to get something new. He ended up getting an unlocked/rooted/rom'd N4 with several cases, Samsung wireless charging rear cover, the Gear VR, an extra battery/charger, and 128GB sd card.....all of which I could no longer use.

I have unlimited data on Verizon, so I don't so much mind dropping from 128GB to 64GB on the internal storage, I'll just keep everything online. Not having a removable/extra battery isn't a big deal for me either because the N5 charges faster than any phone I've ever seen-crazy fast. I never much used the Gear VR, and my brother has kids, so it'll be nice to see it get put to use. I'm using the spen a lot more than I did on the Note 4, simply due to the feature that allows me to scribble a note without even unlocking the phone. I used root and xposed modules and Pandora Patcher to download music, also not a deal breaker to not have root, because I have the patcher on other android devices, and I have automatic folder syncing between all of those devices, so I download with one, and they all get it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] patt2k:
I gotchu. One minute i wanną do it and then I'm like nah lol. Is it much faster then note4 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] jpmcnown:
Ok, so not having root access has just inspired me to look for ways to get what I need without it. Even without tweaks, this Note 5 isn't lagging, and is simply FAST. When Android M drops for it, I anxiously await being able to backup/restore apps/settings to the cloud, as iOS idiots have been doing for years. Is seriously the only thing I envy about that Apple cult.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] b4u2:
I am currently on an MVNO with AT&T . I can't stand their coverage and Sprint is crap. I'm thinking of switching back to Verizon. Will the Best Buy deal still be the best and is it still on today? I will get two new lines and I have two working smartphones to trade in. I need the 64 gb and my wife will get the 32 gb version. I'm trying to get the most savings I can because I know Verizon is expensive but I need the better coverage and want the Note 5 (currently have Note 3).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] icon123:
The $200 BB gift card is over, but the free wireless charger is still going on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] b4u2:
Guess I'm note getting the phone then. I was busy Saturday when it ended. It was a cool thought though

Update 9/22 I saw Best Buy had this deal on again. I went last night to local one and got the black 64gig Note 5 and the $200 gift card. I didn't have to trade a phone in though. They are holding a second one for me because Verizon fraud kicked in and is making us wait 48 hours on a second line. No idea why. We will get the other $200 GC when hers is set up. Since we switched to Verizon we should also get $100x2 for moving new lines of service to Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] user68734:
I was told by best buy online chat that the $200 gift card deal was on until October 30th. I got my note 5 through them.got the $200 gift card and free samsung wireless charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] geoff5093:
The $200 gift card is when you trade a working phone in.
[Other SmartWatches] soulclaimed:
I just received my gv18 smartwatch and other than struggling with the on screen keyboard I'm liking it so far although the vibrate is very weak. Could someone tell me how I could use this with a bluetooth headset as at the moment when connected to my smartphone all audio comes through the watch. I hope this is possible as being able to use a bluetooth headset is one of the main reasons I got this but if I cant control the phones music to play by bluetooth or connect watch to headset I might have to sell it. EDIT I have worked out how to do this it has to be done in the google music app but question remains how do I connect the watch to bluetooth headset? Lastly I don't need Nfc so is it possible that a 22mm straight end strap will fit?
[Other SmartWatches] soulclaimed:
Watch straps are changeable and I can confirm that there does not seem to be a way of connecting bluetooth headset to the watch

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
So I am trying to get all the information I need before jumping from M9 to G4, I generally never change a phone before a year cycle, but the M9 poor camera in low light, very warm temps in summer days, and more specially the small screen (for my astigmatic eyes) are pushing me toward a bigger screen and some goodies lie better camera, so the G4 is here for that.

But in another way I red so many reports about touchscreen issues, and lately people are saying it could be hardware fault, and the volume of the earphone is not impressive, that I don't now anymore!

Today a dude was ready to swap his only 1 week old G4 with my M9 for only 40$ and because I hesitated he sold it to someone else, now if I want to swap it it will be with a new unit and I will have to pay about 100$

I don't see other phones incoming that could suit me, note 5 will be very expensive and no sdcard, motorola phones are not sold in my country and Nexus 5 2015 will not have sd card too.

So is it worth it to swap my M9 to G4(and pay 100$)?

I plan to install Xpirt Sense 7 ports, I prefer Sense launcher.

Still have a last question: is the BT autoconnecting? I mean my M9 autoconnect to my car's BT everytime I start the Car app, it was not the case with the S6, I tried numerous car apps with autoconnect option but the S6 BT didn't want to autoconnect, I hope the G4 is like M9
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzo237:
I'd wait for the new nexus honestly, but I swapped from the m9 to the g4 and could not be happier, other than the terrible music quality this phone has been better all around. Also the sense launcher can be installed on any phone, there's an xda thread about a port for all phones somewhere.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Terrible music quality or volume?

Of course coming from the number 1 as smartphone audio I have found a lack of volume and warmth on the G4, but I think it's fixable using apps like V4A, no?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rav101:
I came from the m8 to the g4 so not quite the same comparison.

Please bare in mind that there is mention of the latest firmware update in the g4 general thread with people suggesting it fixes the touch screen issues.

I'm not sure about BT but I don't think it does auto connect from my limited BT use.

Overall I would say this is a great phone, but I would also add that I found that ease of install and quantity of roms was much better with the m8.. This may come with time but hinges on getting the bootloader unlocked...
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzo237:
My Bluetooth auto connects when I get in my car everyday.

I've been using Dolby and its improved it a lot. However sound is still disappointing, at some point I'll try viper but I'm lazy and haven't flashed it yet.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Will you be getting the H815 variant ? check out the G4 videos in this

channel

You can also talk to your fellow country man, XDA staff,

riro

:)

in general somebody complaining about lag.

- was a nexus user ? ignore

- was a htc or xperia user on a tricked out rom ? ignore

- some random wierd **** ? G4 locked to a carrier ? which carrier ? ignore because they get updates much later.

- is a unlocked or intl. variant...listen then decide if you can live with it.

problems have been addressed with updates, this is the same old with every device when it comes out, some stink is created and then it gets (mostly) fixed but the comments and videos remain on the internet for ever (!) course these people move on to other devices but always repeat their outdated experiences.

why not wait and see if another swap offer comes up.

If i understood you right....this strikes me as a setting, BT autoconnecting means it keeps searching every few minutes. if you set it to try only once when you switch BT on it will be better for battery.

Since you are swapping why not ask the seller to come over and try with your car.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android404:
Yes
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshuadjohnson22:
THe latest update fixes touch issues. The phone will fix your camera, temp and screen issue no doubt. For my personal use I have no issue with the audio but I am not picky. The phone itself is pretty good and from what I see after the update it is near perfect. I for one am still excited to see the moto x and the nexus but the G4 is still pretty great.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Having came from an M8, to an S6, to a G4, I can personally say this phone is superior to all of them for numerous reasons.

1. Screen size/quality (LG > HTC) (LG == S6)

2. Audio is really good in my opinion (LG > S6) (LG == OR < M8/M9)

3.Removeable battery & SD Card, allowing for bigger batteries and extras alongside more storage cheap

4. Generally very fast, maybe not as fast as an M9 without a custom ROM but superior to Sammy devices by miles.

5. Stock experience is one of the best out there, vastly superior to TouchWiz on Sammy devices

6. Variety of custom back covers for the device (e.g leather, metal, plastic, varied colors, probably more from 3rd parties)

7. Camera is phenomenal, HUGE upgrade over M8/M9.

8, 9, 10 & 11 million. More than I can think of right now.

Also in my experience I have no problems with the touchscreen or anything else that was substantial enough to break the phone for me.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Csetoue:
I read on many reviews that M9 is faster than G4. Did felt that?

Im in doubt between M9 and G4. Bigger screen isnt a must for me, and I dont play games too much (so, overheat is not exactly a problem). I had a very nice time with M8. On the other hand, swappable battery and the camera lean me toward G4.

Confused. :confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzo237:
Honestly I felt like the g4 was faster. My m9 was always heat throttled when I just browsed the web, I've heard they did updates to help so idk how it is now, but the m9 was just so laggy it was awful. But if you are leaning most on camera then the g4 or s6 are amazing.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
You convinced me to swap then!

I passed again to LG showroom today and tried the BT audio with my Sony sbh50, the volume was the same as on M9 BT, and when I installed Neutron...it was very loud without the muffling I get on the M9 + neutron + increased gain.

So I guess with V4A it will be perfect.

The screen of the G4 is so gorgeous! I could read all the text without problem very clearly while on the M9 the battery percentage is sometime foggy because of my astigmatism (know eyes problem with LCD)

Now I have to find a good deal
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
I have the same dilemma lol.

I'm wondering, is the G4 slippery with the plastic back? I think the leather back is more slippery because it's badly made.

My M9 is super slippery without a case and I can't stand the throttling or whatever it is. My Galaxy S5 runs faster and games run smoother (I tested both at the same time).

I'd buy the G4 from the carrier (it's cheap in Canada), because I want warranty with that phone, I don't trust its many issues.

Because of the on screen navigation buttons (I don't like them), the M9 is too small for me. But G4 is too big :/.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgerryx:
The overheating issues are very real with the M9 and replacement phones don't help. I had to fight with VZW for like 4 days to get into a new edge plan with the G4. Downside? Battery life is still pretty abysmal, but at least I can grab some extra batteries and switch it out if I need to. I am enjoying the G4 much more than the M9 even after just a week of having it.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
I checked CPU temps on my S5 and M9 after playing the same 3d game. The M9's max was at 43C while the S5 was around 62C. Now of course the M9 was warmer because of the metal but the screen was less warm compared to the S5.

The S5 runs hotter but the plastic helps. However, The S810 is terrible, slower than S801 and the Wi-Fi reception on the M9 isn't strong and doesn't work with some routers (it keeps disconnecting and connecting every 5 seconds, really bad). I don't have an issue with S801.

How is the Snapdragon 808 that the G4 has?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgerryx:
My M9 would reach upwards up 120f and at 115 it goes into timeout. Always during GPS usage and very minimal other operations. Even charging was causing issues. The processor in the G4 feels good, but I don't do any crazy gaming or benchmarking. I lasted about 1 day before I got annoyed and rooted it. Got xposed running on it today just fine. As time goes on I'll have a better idea, but in terms of everyday operations, no hiccups with anything. The power and volume keys on the back..I would call...not ideal. It isn't irritating but I would definitely prefer a more standard setup. Just something to note. The power button placement on the M9 sucked though.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzo237:
Just wait. After a month you'll realize that every phone should have buttons on the back.

If only it was a fingerprint scanner too :(
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgerryx:
I hope you're right! It's a bit cumbersome in the car mount. The thing that exacerbates the issue is the lack of a power off nav button option like the M9 had. I was hoping someone somehow made more nav button options with root but I haven't seen anything yet. I'm using screen off and lock now, but it's not present on all screens.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gonzo237:
You can also double tap the screen to wake, and double tap the status bar to sleep. I use greenify, which can be used without root, and have it override Google now, so when I drag up from the nav keys it just puts the screen to sleep
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xgerryx:
Oh that last thing you mentioned sounds awesome. (sorry for hijacking this thread, but maybe this info will help the dude anyway) I do use the double tap to wake. I use greenify and I'll try that last suggestion. That sounds reliable. Thanks!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
I had the g2 and I liked the rear buttons but I missed the side ones after a while.

Power button on the m9 is badly placed, most of the time I end up pressing it when I grab the phone.

I use greenify home button to turn off screen sometimes too.

Does anyone feel like the g4 is too big when you're outside walking and need to call/text?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg420:
Biggest tradeoff coming from htc is the uniformity across all variants having an unlockable bootloader. Meaning tons of development happening. I see the g4 development expanding in the near future though, but not on par with htc.

I came from the m8. Btw if i were you id sell the m9 on swappa. The swap shouldn't cost more than 50$.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PunishedSnake:
I did and it was a great decision
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
I don't think swappa works in my country, damn August month! Everybody is at the beach or travelling so sales options are down.

Though G4's price goes down weekly here, about 5-10$, so I have to be patient till I have a good customer. I got tons of people wanting to swap their note 4 and s6 with my m9 btw... A sign that nobody loves TW long enough :)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
So is the G4 slippery guys? what backplate are you using?

Especially for those that have handled an M9? The M9 is super slippery.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Not as slippery as the s6 for sure, the s6 back glass is like a soap, it will slide on a perfect horizontale table!!!

I won't put a cover on the g4 as it's an already big phone, just a tempered glass.

Btw an armband with iphone 6+ size can be good for the G4 or it will be too big?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
good. the problem with note 4 is L screwed it up, so if reverting back to kk isn't an option then its exit.

S6 as you know can't keep apps in memory long enough. imagine playing a game, pausing it returning a while later only to find its been booted out and you lost your score :silly:

Samsung dodged a bullet by going with their own CPU's instead of 810 only to get hit by another. Pretty sad.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanpm40:
I don't think the leather back is slippery at all, but my original plastic back that came with it from Verizon definitely was very slippery to me, especially being a larger phone.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
What's the color of your leather?

I heard the black one is bad and slippery while the brown one is softer and not as slippery.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanpm40:
I got the red one through the free battery and leather back promo for buying my phone in July :P. No idea how the black or tan ones feel :\
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
I have found a buyer for my m9 at last! Tomorrow I will do the trade, hopefully he wouldn't change his mind at last minute. Once I get the G4 I will root it as all my apps are in titanium backup. I think the version here is 815 international so fully unlockable. Is there a way to relock it for warranty purpose?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wadamean:
The way to relock would require to flash stock kdz and what not to get back to stock. I have read that for LG warranty root isn't a disqualifier for warranty but I may be wrong. Anyone with more experience with this lg warranty enlighten me if I am incorrect. For carrier warranty for sure root will not be accepted
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
Was going to post that but flashing KDZ is a way to revert back to stock from root, i'm not sure whether it also relocks the bootloader.

he is talking about the H815 version which is the only G4 variant with bootloader unlock.

yeah a good answer here is welcome.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
Same lol, except I'm buying it from a person and will sell my M9 elsewhere. I'm receiving 2 batteries, external battery charger (awesome), red leather circle case, Ringke Slim hard case, a new tempered screen protector, both silver and black leather backplates, and the original accessories/box. Pretty good deal for a great price! I wish I was getting the tan leather though as that one has a better grip.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramsey:
Did you get it? are you enjoying it?

I'm loving mine!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegetaleb:
Yes! Finally got it! It came h815 NDL , the screen is a breeze, the 5" of the m9 looks so small now!

Camera is great but didn't have the time to fully enjoy it. No appearant touchscreen problem :)

The phone was 10a out of the box and updated to 10c.

I have put a tempered glass but I think I will take it off as it's a fingerprints magnet.

Will root it tomorrow

New UI

**UPDATE**

Hey all I just wanted to introduce my newly developed app Notify and yes it is in BETA.

This work is all done thanks to an open source project on GitHub which can be found here Github). As for the app it is Free and always will be but please do keep in mind there were allot of hours put into this project so I included a donate button within the app if you would like, also there are ads to help me out a little bit but don't worry as they are non-intrusive . Please read the instructions below on how to use the app, along with some screenshots of the new notification system this app implements.

Download Link

Google Play

Instructions

If you are on Android lollipop (5.0-5.1) you must install this app (App 5.0-5.1), run it, and start the service in order to get rid of the stock notifications that come up.

If you are on Android Marshmallow 6.0 you must do the following for each app that you want to disable the stock notifications for....Settings -> Sound & Notification -> App notifications -> The app you want to disable stock notifications for -> Disable allow peaking. This is hopefully a temporary solution, and if anyone has any idea on how to disable these peaking notifications for apps on Marshmallow please feel free to contact me!
