[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] FMXP:
For those of you who don't follow the latest news on Galaxy S and Note, all Snapdragon 820 variants of Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are bootloader-locked. Yes, you read this correctly. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, it no longer matters which US carrier you have. All SD820 variants are locked.

This is officially the end of the line, folks. No dev community can survive when every device is locked, so what tiny community existed, and by that I mean only hsbadr who has singlehandedly supported our Verizon N4DEs for years now, will evaporate. If you like phones you can root and flash custom ROMs on, you can no longer buy Samsung Galaxy S and Note in USA.

Canadians have a wild card here, they are getting the Exynos 8890 variant but it doesn't support any US voice bands, GSM or CDMA. Unless it's possible to hack the Canadian S7 variant to make it work in US at least on the GSM carriers AT&T and T-Mobile, all Americans are now officially f**ked.

It was nice owning Galaxy Notes all these years. I started with a Note II and I currently have my Note 4 DE, but this is the end of the line. My next phone, regardless of which carrier I'm on, cannot be a Galaxy Note. I'll miss my S-Pen ;_;
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usmaak:
I wonder if other manufacturers will follow Samsung's lead. They probably want to do it, but haven't. I wonder if, eventually, our only choice for phones that aren't locked down will be phones like the Nexus.

Although there's no way to really and truly know, I wonder how many people will even care. Of all the people that I've talked to since I started my rooting adventures with an HTC Evo, there has only been a small handful that even know what rooting was and only one other person who actually had a rooted phone. I'd imagine that most people won't care at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcip17:
My Note 4 Dev Edition and Note 2 will be my rooted phones and the Note 6 will be my locked down phone. I guess I'll swap SIMs if I need a rooted phone with cellular data.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] BeavermanA:
Sold my Note 4 last week. Used upgrade to get Note 5, then sold it. Got 6P today, rooted within minutes.

Adios Samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kerfex:
Not yet

T-Mobile has asked Samsung to work with their engineers to Unlock them. If there is enough outrage and sales slump, they might reverse this or offer and option to unlock like HTC does.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Zantillian:
Can someone explain to me the purpose of carriers and manufacturers locking devices down like that? This sort of thing has been going on for a long long time and I've never seen the harm behind it. What can a rooted device do that causes them to want to lock it down again?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dracozny:
To use Verizon as an example. Verizon wants to charge you extra for the ability to tether. Granted there are apps to get around this but with the built-in tethering function, it automatically checks to make sure you are Subscribed to that feature. I'm sure there are more reasons than that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jpcalhoun:
There is a number of reasons but one major reason is the manufacturer's desire to gain corporate accounts. To do so requires, for most corporate networks, a phone that cannot be rooted thus allowing the installation of apps that cannot be controlled or monitored by corporate IT security personnel. That is why many corporate networks will allow your iphone on their network but not an Android phone. It's all about sales.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] blubyu87gt:
Follow the money.

As stated above corporate sales are a big reason. Also the potential the have Android/Samsung/Google or whatever payment applications comprised is likely another large reason. Then you have Ad blocking. Removing those from ones phone kills a large revenue stream for carriers and Google alike. Not just for the individual ads but also the data they consume from your allotment.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ssb13:
The Note 4 is my first Samsung, and probably my last. I did enjoy having the pen, and when my Edge is up next year, I'm hopeful I'll have the cabbage to purchase a Nexus. I like clean and simple things, Samsung has a lot of nice features, but most of them just get in my way.

All that being said I have not missed not being able to root, because mostly my reasons for doing doing so were for battery life on HTCs. My last phone was a Droid MAXX, which had amazing battery (might have been my favorite phone ever). The Note 4 has been good on battery, especially since 5.1.1 (and a factory reset)

My $.02.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
unfortunately, i've stopped minding 100% about root. i only mind like 60% now. i mean, every phone i've ever had was rooted. eris, incredible, rezound, dna, s3, s4, g2, moto x pure edition.....and then my poor note 4, never rooted. but honestly, i had the moto x pure, and although it was nice having a new rooted phone, i ended up selling it because i just liked my unrooted note 4 better. note 4, next to my g2, was one of the best phones i've ever had. and now, i decided since i don't mind root as much, but i enjoy samsung camera/screen quality, i bought the s7, and i really like it. sure there's no root, but if i absolutely need root, my galaxy tab s 8.4 is rooted, my nexus 7 is rooted, and my g2 is rooted. if i need wireless hotspot, i'll just pop my sim into my g2. keeping my note 4, though, definitely..and might even buy the note 6 when it comes out, that's how nice this s7 is.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chevyrhoads:
there are ways to unlock bootloaders and root any smart phone but nobody wants to share. all it is ..is code ....if theres a way to write the code then theres a way to unlock code. cant stop root. there will always be away. think about it. a smart phone works like a pc. someone out there has a way but doesnt share
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] will4958:
You could try FoxFi on your S7. It's only a little over $7 for the full app, and in my opinion is well worth the price. Like you, I still have a rooted phone, my S4 which I was using prior to my Note 4, and used it for the hot spot before I made the jump to FoxFi. For me, the convenience of just being able to use one phone for everything, especially the hot spot since it's my only Internet connection at home, is worth the small amount charged by the developer, and possible a lot better for the batteries on both phones since they use the most energy when powering on from a cold boot. I think that's how I wound up going through a power supply for my desktop in roughly two years, too many reboots.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
so foxfi works perfectly on non rooted phones and completely bypasses wireless Hotspot? unlimited plan i pay 50 a month for here, so i should be able to tether for free from Verizon but they're pieces of shat so clearly we can't.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tennessee_titan:
I just switched to Sprint, (from my Verizon Note 4), Got a Note 5 and rooted it immediately.

Sprint will pay off my $360 Verizon contract balance, and I also will get a $225 cash gift card from COSTCO wireless for switching.

My bill is only $10 higher, and I have unlimited talk and text, which I didn't have with Verizon
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] EdrickMG:
http://www.xda-developers.com/opini...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers) a good explanation why things go this way... I belive the only left possibility of personalizing or devices will be thorough mods or hacks each time more complicate
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
It's just as well. Samsung has gone straight downhill. Let's review:

No new features made their way to the Note 4.

Updates took an extremely long time, and they even updated older phones first.

Locked down tight.

Lag. Always lag. All one need do is go to application manager and try to scroll down. (Even my old Droid 2 Global running Gingerbread does this smoothly!) This is but one example of many.

Also, has anyone else noticed how Samsung puts out almost the same exact phone every year?

Anyway, I was done with Samsung before this news. The Note 4 is largely a disaster. The only question now is what to ditch it for. I like the specs of the LG G5, but the software looks awful. So I'm waiting to see what HTC is doing with the 10. If that doesn't pan out, I guess I'll wait for the Nexus.

I have t-mobile note 4 on AT&T go phone prepaid service right now. I just noticed ST came out with a plan that is 10gb for $55 a month. I currently have go phone 5gb @ $60 month plan.

Since im always connected to WIFI i dont go over the 5gb

wondering how the service of ST is ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tat2messiah:
I had st for about 2 years and service was good except the 2gb datat cap but if they are doing 10gb for 55 i would say go for it...thier customer service sucks but service was good
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ma$etas:
I know that STraight talk uses AT&T for service so every band that AT&T uses for service will be provided by Straight talk ?

Go phone service has been really good for me but if i can get the same service and double the data for the same rate i would rather change.

Im just concerned with drop calls, or calls not coming in and suddenly getting a voicemail for a call i never knew came in.. (this happened to me on Sprint's service)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tat2messiah:

unlimited LTE

'nuff said
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ma$etas:
Every one has their opinion and as always YMMV but both metro pcs and tmobile suck for dependability.

I decided to stick with at&t go phone service for the dependability in service

I have many friends that have Metro pcs or tmobile service for the same reason of having alot of data, but when were out of the city they have no reception

How good is having unlimited data if your phone has no reception. Also when we are at major sporting events sprint and metro/tmobile have also had bad reception..

Verizon and AT&T have no issues..

like you said .. NUFF SAID
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaxysDargle:
Depends on where you are. All the carriers fail somewhere. T-Mobile owns townships just like att or Verizon. The key is to stay home... forever. Everyone complains about their carrier no matter who it is.

Besides, sporting events? I thought the point of pointless sports was to escape daily life. Maybe the red vs blue lifestyle applies to carriers too? Carriers are just like teams in that way I guess. They need losers to feel like winners

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Di] pixiedust7976:
I have been a loyal Samsung fan since the original Epic with keyboard. Since that one , I've had every single Galaxy that has come out, including the 6.

Everything about the S7 Edge is just about perfection. The only issue I have, is the fact that Samsung continues to use TouchWiz vs. going pure vanilla Google, but the amount of cosmetic changes ,thanks to Marshmallow, makes it tolerable, and the fact that we can disable bloatware, makes it a bit easier to swallow the TouchWiz pill.

So glad I ditched the 6 and went to the Edge S7.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Can anyone tell me any downsides to this phone? Is there a better choice? Is it worth the money?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
IMHO Not worth it anymore. Marshmallow MAY BE the last big update. It is a 2 years old phone, Is still a capable device, but it is starting to show its age.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Z3+ or a LG G4 is very worth it although both arent new devices

This device has grown a bit old and is on its last few updates (or so goes the 2 year support time)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DimitrijeDk:
I have the Xperia z2, I've had it for 2 years now.

1) The battery life is good.

2)Performance (It can play gta sa on max with no lag or very little).

3)The Noise Cancelling Earphones that come with it are amazing.

4)The Xda community has a lot of support for this phone. You can find all kinds of roms for it.

5)However the last update for it will be marshmallow. (I am running the beta 6.0.1)

I would tell you to buy the z3 because they are now in the somewhat same price range. Or if you have the money the G4.

If you have any other specific questions feel free to ask me. Keep in mind everything I say is my personal opinion and is subject to my own personal use.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardcoremildred:
If you don't have a lot of money, you can get a good phone for a good price. The z2 has everything you need, fantastic qc801 and even 3gb of RAM.

There are some cons:

-no fingerprint sensor

-no qi (but magnetic charger. Keep in mind, you can hold your phone in your hand and use or with magnetic charger, with qi this would be... not so good.)

-USB hidden behind plastic cap. This is crap, they made it better from z3 onward.

As I bought mine like 15 months ago, it was like: why buy a z3 if you can have a z2 for less money? They are almost identical.

Today the price gap may be smaller, so z3 could be more attractive.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mich3lin:
I have mine for about a year and half and I wouldn't switch... Before Z2, I used Nexus 4,5 and I've never really complaint about battery life, but after having Z2 for some time... Can't imagine having smaller battery.. It's one of those things, that you get used to so easily... Plus Android is nearly stock, not filled with tons of bloatware, and generally smooth and enjoyable to use.

If you're thinking about Z3/Z2, then I would guess it doesn't really matter which one you choose, since they are quite similar.

In the end, it really depends on what you prefer/need.. If you're really about top new technologies like fingerprint sensor, etc. then you might be disappointed after some time for not having it, but if you are looking for a phone that has very good battery life, display, performance and also looks pretty nice, then I'm sure you'll like it...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragoss91:
Yes it worths if you find it at a good price (maybe second-hand in good condition) , Z3 has 90% same specs as Z2 , same cpu , same memory , same screen and same features .

Here are my personal opinions about Z2 :

The cpu is fast enough to handle any app/game nowadays , I still didn't see any lag even in heavy games , I don't belive in those dual quads , is useless since the phone uses only one quad a time and it's more a commercial thing .

Memory is big enough (3Gb) , maybe too big , I had a S4 with 2Gb and NEVER filled even 1.5Gb and I was on 5.1.1 , actually the 6.0 uses less memory so is even better .

Screen is OK , I admit an AMOLED would be much better but the actual screen on Z2 is just fine , I came from an AMOLED phone (S4) and I got used to TFT really quick .

Battery is the simply the best from all smartphones I had , I am on CM12.1 and I just changed hotplug to MSM-mpdecision wich shuts down unused cores and I get almost 3 days with normal use (internet + calls + wifi all the time) and same smoothness as normal .

Software updates : Marshmallow is the last one for sure , but I just don't care because I will always use Cyanogen versions of ROMS since I hate stock roms full of bloats .

In my honest opinion fingerprint , infrared , heartrate , humidity and temperature sensors are just pointless features added for marketing .

Watch this video , what this guy says there is very true , people are getting easily manipulated with pointless new features by these smartphones companies .

Hallo,

Does somebody have experience with the "remote desktop access" prog. WM6RDP.cab? See attachement.

Installed it, followed the instructions below but can't get it to work. Anybody suggestions?

Thanx in advance.

**

Here is some instructions to set up desktop and phone to work together:

- right click on 'my computer' (either from desktop or from start menu)

- select 'properties', click box under 'Remote Desktop'

- if your computer is behind a router, go in its settings under 'applications & gaming' or something similiar to that effect to allow certain applications specialized access in the 'port range forward' setting, below is how mine is set:

Application Start End Protocol IP Address Enable

remote 3389 3389 Both 192.168.x.x x

- for IP address, be sure you indicate the LOCAL IP address of your host computer

- click on 'save settings' button

- while you're still in your router's configuration window, go under 'Status' and determine the 'IP address' (computer's location address, not 192.168.x.x), write it down

- on your phone, load up the WM6 RD application, under 'Computer' type in the 'IP address' of your computer's location address - again, not the 192.168.x.x

- type in your 'user name', and 'password' of the ACCOUNT you log in your computer, or you use

- then hit 'connect'...that's it.
