[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oren_b:
Lack of replaceable battery makes the Note 7 a non starter. When travelling I frequently use the phone for many hours without charging (on-foot navigation; tripadvisor etc) and I need it to be completely dependable. With a replaceable battery I just pop a new one in and I'm good for the rest of the day. I tried using a portable charger in the past, and hated how unwieldy it was compared to just spending 10 seconds to replace the battery.

The LG Stylus 2 Plus looks somewhat comparable to the Note 4 and is newer (Android 6, touch fingerprint reader), but seems to have a more limited stylus and lacks a physical home button (which I like very much in the Samsung, but I'm not sure lack of it is a deal breaker).

Thoughts?

Edit: Man, this promotional video from LG is good!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oren_b:
What happens on August 2?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
If you are on a budget then yes the Note 4 is a worthy upgrade from a Note 2. As it's the last in Samsung's flagship line that had a removable battery. However if you have the cash to spend, wait and get the Note 7.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oren_b:
The Note 7 doesn't fit my requirements, regardless of cost (no replaceable battery). It seems I need to decide between the Note 4 and the much newer LG Stylus 2 Plus.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micheal86:
Yap.

My vote is for Note 4.

It`s really an awesome device.

I`m using this one for last one year without any issue.

Excellent Display.

Removable Battery.

Expandable Memory.

Good XDA Dev support.

Stock MM really gives good battery backup.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Yeah, the LG Stylus 2 Plus is a rather poor spec device. You are much better getting the Note 4 instead of that! As the stylus used in the LG Stylus 2 is just a regular capacitive stylus that you can get at any high street retailer.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oren_b:
Ok, so I'm probably getting a Note 4 later this week. A few questions to make sure I'm making the right decision:

1. Is it easy to root?

2. Do I need to worry about Knox?

3. Can I use it worldwide without an issue (roaming)? I've had no issues at all in this regard with my Note 2.

4. I can get the N910C variant for less money than the N910F. Is there any significant difference between the two? Note that I don't play games on my phone.

Thanks!

Edit: I can also get the Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915F for the same price as the N910F. It seems pretty cool, but getting a TPU case for it (which I like) seems to be impossible. Such cases are very easy to fine for the Note 4 and usually cost only a couple of bucks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
The N910C is much more stable than the N910F as the N910C uses the Exynos 5433 SOC rather than the Snapdragon 805 in the N910F. You can root it pretty easily both the N910C and F models have excellent worldwide coverage with the exception of specific US carriers.

It is possible to get TPU cases for the Note Edge I've seen them online.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oren_b:
When you say the N910C is much more stable do you mean the N910F tends to crash / freeze, or something else?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oren_b:
Bought the Note Edge eventually. I love almost everything about it, but there are some senseless regressions on the software side:

- No way to display Favorites (contacts) as a list. The thumbnail-based display uses tiny text for names and has them truncated.

- No way to display Apps as a list. The grid display is much slower to browse because the eye has to go in different direction to follow the correct alphabetization.

- Dialer log does not support long-press menu anymore. Makes it more difficult to add a number to the reject list or favorites.

Why cripple things that used to work so well?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micheal86:
Congrats mate.

Hope you`re enjoying your new device.

Best of luck.

:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oren_b:
Overall I do enjoy it. Hopefully I can find solutions for these relatively minor annoyances.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micheal86:
Sure mate. Best of luck.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidGTAF:
The Note 4 is great. Since you have no interest in the Note 7, then you'll be completely fine with the N4. I upgraded from a Galaxy S5 and it feels like a completely new phone even though it released a long time ago. Marshmallow breathes new life into it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micheal86:
Exactly. It's an amazing device
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velea18:
Hello guys. Yesterday I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6, the "normal" S6. I bought it from a guy, tested it 2 times everything fine but today I discovered that the rotation is not working properly. When i dial *#0*# and test the sensors, all pass but the gyro test fails. The phone doesn't have warranty, and I wanna know guys if you also got this problem and if you fixed it. If not, I could replace the gyroscope/accelerometer or what the heck is not working in a GSM service?

A friend told me that if the sensors are damaged then the phone can't be repaired. Please help me if you can. ?

PS: Sorry if I typed wrong.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarryDoo:
If your friend doesn't repair phones for a living, then perhaps you should ask someone who does if it's repairable....
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velea18:
Changing rom doesn't solve it? I haven't tried this yet..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
It is possible that it could be a software glitch. I had the issue with my ex-S6 Edge, I got it fixed by telling Samsung to reinstall the firmware for me.

I now have an S6, I used Samsung Smart Switch yesterday to reinstall the firmware on my phone. It fixed some issues I had along with less heat and better battery runtime. I suggest you do the same, it's worth a try.

Just be sure to charge your phone to 100% and use *only* the original USB cable from Samsung. You could end up with a bricked phone if you use third party cables, other users have ended up with such fate.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velea18:
I have the original cable, but if I use it there are no chances of bricking it right? I did 3 factory resets already, and I cand replace the sensor with problems, it will cost me pretty much. I also have something with the camera. It looks like it takes whiter pictures, I think. I'm going tomorrow in a store to see another S6, to see if the cameras are the same.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkNate34:
If your phone isn't rooted, if you haven't tripped KNOX. Then you should be good to use Samsung Smart Switch to reinstall the firmware. I used it just about four days ago to reinstall the firmware on my S6. Solved many problems for me. It's worth a shot before replacing the hardware.

[Android Software Development] kernelpanic_:
(If you don't want to wait, I see someone's uploaded v3 right here. There's also a solution on the app store called Solid Explorer. Dev is really great as well as the app, and it works with systemless root.)

Hello. If you're like me, you've been using ES for a really long time. It's a really stable solution, and since I have nothing to do, why not debloat one of the best file managers made?

First off, I removed some unnecessary permissions from "app_permissions_en.txt". Saved the new one as *.txt, and the old one as *.txt.old (* being app_permissions_en). The thing is, I don't know if some of the ones I removed are required for root functionality, so that's why I saved the original one separately. There was a "dxsomething" folder with an image for an ad, so I deleted that.

There's a .txt file name lc.txt, and it has this text in it: "d8JH9lPQkvto1uYe", anyone know what that is? Not bothering with it until I need to.

I'm going to stop here, test if basic file manager functionality works, and I'll get back to this thread.

Edit: yeah I've abandoned this project for various reasons. I haven't really had the time to work on it. sorry to everyone :/

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] sorg:
I've found that HTC 10 has very slow /data access speed according to "Optimizing applications" dialog after upgrades/OTA.

It takes ages if you have some amount of apps.

I remember my SGS4 did this optimization very quick (let's say 20x faster). And SGS4 had no /data encryption.

So, the "snail" speed of HTC 10 in /data access because of encryption?

Did anyone disable encryption? Does it increase storage speed?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] afuller42:
I have mine diasabled now, honestly I really don't notice much of a difference at all. the optimizing still takes as long, benchmark tests are identical pretty much, and just using the phone normally it don't really stand out and smoother or anything. phone is pretty fast encrypted or not as I haven't experienced much lag at all
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] sorg:
Thanks for info! Then i won't bother to change it.

May be optimization is much slower because of ART compiler (vs Dalvik on SGS4).
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] SacredDeviL666:

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

ART runtime is much faster than dalivk could be the way HTC is clearing cache and optimizing ...

on a different decrypted devices are always a lil notch above encrypted due to lesser security and this is hardly noticeable unless you are a benchmarking freak...

i am on decrypted and its just a paranoia i have against anything which is there in the name of security...

for secure enterprise related things i am still hooked onto blackberry...
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] sorg:
Of course it's faster. Only ART compiler (dex2oat) is much slower.

After a few weeks of battery problems no matter what ROM (or stock) I used I wiped my device and left it running without restoring any apps. Here's the result:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1623843/Screenshot_20160713-170321.png

So, that's about 35% drain in 6 hours with the screen off and the phone sitting on a shelf. It seems a bit much to me - should it be that bad? If not, is it likely to be the hardware, or could there be some other cause?

Nest, Tweetcaster, Pebble and the watchface for your Pebble are high.

When I change ROM or start from fresh, I always format boot, data, system and user data and never restore my backup but only copy what I need (photos, music, apk to be installed, etc.). Its a pain in the ass but at least I'm on a fresh OS and partitions.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knirirr:
I've tried wiping as well, and backed up all my apks with Titanium Backup for reinstallation, although it doesn't seem to have helped. Currently I'm getting higher than expected drain without having re-installed those apps.

Initially I thought that Nest was guilty, but removing it had no effect. I removed those other apps as well and there's still a higher power drain than I used to get.

Surely losing half the charge in 9.5 hours whilst in deep sleep is not expected behaviour? If it is then no wonder the phone wasn't lasting a day with that base degree of drain plus the drain from actually using it as well.

Hi I am quite new to this but I have gone through every tutorial I can find and cannot get TWRP on my Le Max 2. I start with the standard recovery screen.

I type the command ADB DEVICES and it returns a device number says ok

I put my phone into fastboot mode by pressing POWER/VOL - together and get the fastboot screen in chinese and english.

I type FASTOOT DEVICES and it returns the same device number

then FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK - comes back already unlocked

then FASTBOOT FLASH RECOVERY X820_TWRP_3.0.2.IMG - it goes and does what it needs to says WRITING RECOVERY and says all ok no error messages on OK's

then FASTBOOT REBOOT to reboot phone. I have also tried just rebooting stright to recovery after flashing holding POWER/VOL+ and after 2-3 mins screen goeas black and the little signal LED goes BLUE I have to hold POWER buton for 15secs to reboot phone.

After that it still just boots into stock recovery screen.

Please any help. I also wonder where it is flashing the update coz i says it works but doesnt.
