[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirLaughsalot:
Hello everyone,

I recently sold my 910v for two main reasons: It was a nightmare to use on the t-mobile network; and it was a nightmare to mod/root/have fun with (not "that" kinda fun :angel:). Anyways, I've been eye-ing some new phones, and the ones that caught my attention are:

Note 4 910F (same lovely note 4, modding community is going strong, can be had for around/under $400 USD wher I live)

Note 4 910C (Same as above, but I've heard better things about the Exynos variant)

OnePlus 3 (Cheap, new, will get lots of official support, and modding community is strong. Only concerns are weak WiFi capabilities and non-removable battery/no sd card)

Those 3 are on my major hit-list. Only reason why the OnePlus 3 is even mentioned is because it's the closest to the note4 specs wise, and can be had readily for $400; whereas the international note 4s are quite harder to obtain at this price. I've seen quite a lot of 910Gs and 910Hs, but I've never truly understood the differences between them and the other international variants. I believe it was certain LTE bands, but I could be wrong.

Now, here's where I'd love to hear your suggestions. Some of the criteria:

I'm a t-mobile user, so something that has LTE bands that I can make use of is a key requirement. International phones are preferred.

Specs wise; I'm not a gamer at all, and generally look for fluid UI, and HD video streaming.

Camera is one of the priorities, as I love to take photos of nice scenery and what-not. Not really a selfie person. I'd set the baseline as the note 4's camera in this case.

I prefer AMOLED screens, and resolution isn't a biggy. 1080p as the minimum.

Battery life is important, but I'm not looking for something that holds a charge for a week. I charge my phone every night after a ~17 hour day of being off charge. Note 4 as a baseline would be optimal.

I don't care how the device looks. I'll put a case on it anyways.

I'm tight on budget, so I can't go above $400. I'm willing to look into second hands/3rd party dealers (ebay, etc)

Modding support is important. I love to flash roms and kernels to get the best out of my phone (plus adaway for those horrible ads). So something that is easy to mod and has a healty/active community here on XDA.

Not really a huge priority, but removable battery/expandable storage are preferred.

Any insight on the matter is greatly appreciated. Now, off I go in search of le dank deals! Huzzaa!

EDIT#1: Just found out about the ZTE Axon 7; and boy, it looks amazing.... on paper. Hopefully they work out the WiFi and signal issues (confirmed to be fine on global version, or by flashing global rom on US variant) and the camera being glitchy in low-light conditions.

Another phone that caught my eye is the older LG G4; I can get it sub $300 and it seems to be slightly better than the note 4 overall. I still favor the newer axon 7 over this.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joppy:
I just installed Fulmics 6.1 onto Lg G3 D855/16GB.

All working nice except I lost notification sounds in Next SMS.

I don't get any sound when new ones arrives, if don't catch the screen that lights up for the sneak preview of SMS I miss the new SMS.

I tried to set the sound in both handcent > settings > notification as well as in Android settings > sound and notifications.

I am not in silent mode, yet notifications are still not playing sounds.

Any ideas?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joppy:
To clarify things, I am not expecting this to be Fulmics causing this. More that now that I got both android 6 and fulmics 6.1 at the same time the GUI changed a lot and there might be other ways to adjust notification sound then what I have found.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joppy:
I've tried all the settings I can think of.

I started out with Android settings, making sure notification sound was enabled.

Then I chose to set special sound for apps, and chose next sms.

To be certain I changed to the sound to a mp3 file in my download folder.

Still no sound.

Went into next sms > settings > All > Notification & Reminder > Notification settings > Notification Sound

Here I can see the sound has changed to myfile.mp3

Still no notification sounds.

Browse and google for answers and find a page telling me to reverse all things in sounds and notifications to NO SOUNDS. Well I tried, I even tried to follow the program and reboot for each change I made. After several reboots I eventually got to the part where I again chose to turn on notification sounds, and did the final reboot. Puh. STILL NO SOUND when I receive sms/txt.

I've almost pulled all my hair from my head in pure frustration, I can't walk around missing txt's because my stupid phone suddenly don't give me notifications. Try to tell that to your boss, no you see my phone don't give me audio notifications when you text me. Sure my boss wont buy into that.

Pls help.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] A_N_T_H_O_N_Y:
Has anyone gotten the chance to test the video recording in a loud environment yet? I'm currently using a OnePlus One, very much leaning towards buying a ZTE Axon 7. A big problem I've had with past Android phones is that when I try to take a quick video at a concert, the audio is distorted to the point where you can't even make out what song is playing. Can someone try blasting some music and taking a short video with the phone close to the speakers? Would like to see how the microphones hold up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] deltatux:
Hey guys,

I'm sure this has probably been answered somewhere but I have an old SGH-i317M from TELUS and was wondering if you can flash custom ROMs for N7105 on these old devices. I've noticed that only the International variants have been kept up to date in terms of development work when looking at Cyanogenmod whereas the US models have pretty much died after KitKat.

May you please advise?

Thank you.

No, don't use anything from a different model number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SidneyD:
I know that other than the modem firmware, there is no difference between the sgh-i317, sgh-t889, and gt-n7105. However I don't know if the SGH-i317M from TELUS is any different from the SGH-i317 from AT&T. Some cursory googling leads me to believe that they're the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ukekoe:
You can use 85% of gt-n7105 on i317 i am currenlt using Mokee from N7105, flash shift kernel firstafter flashing rom then reboot

Is it just me thats experiencing this issue. My phone has never been in or near water but i get this warning all the time and the phone wont charge. Now i have a wireless charger and use it but this is ridiculous for a brand new device. Sometimes it will charge and sometimes it wont. It just started doing this this week.

[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] Grimmett:
I haven't had the problem with my Note 7 but my husband had that problem on his S7. The cable was loose in the port and once we got a new cable all was fine.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] bignibb:
Mine does it sporadically, i have two samsung usb type c cables and sometimes both will do it and sometimes both will work. It started about a week ago. Today it has been charging fine. Now sometimes when i disconnect the cable it will say it then, its a weird issue but as long as its charged when i need to be away from home im good. If it continues ill eventually have it replaced.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] Bdozier:
I came on the forum today to see if others were having this message and your thread was on top! My issue was a little different though. See, Lil Wayne was pouring champagne on his phone so I thought "what the hell! I am at a water park, let's get a good picture of my daughter in the wave pool!". Then a big wave came... Now I get the message every time I take my phone off charge. Both wireless and wired. Phone still works just fine. But this message won't go away.

I restarted it in hopes that would clear it, but it has been almost 20 hours now and it remains.

I hope there is a way to clear it that I haven't found yet.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] travisw0204:
I got the same message after I literally submerged my phone under water to get a shot of my daughter swimming. After I got out of the pool, I just blew air into any openings in the phone( speaker, charging port, mic and headset jack) and watched water spill out from every opening. I then pulled the status bar down, cleared the message( Hit Clear on bottom right once status bar is pulled down) and it went away. It does state on that moisture notification not to charge the phone through the port if water is present. There is a chance that water could still be in the port even after that extensive amount of time. How soon after it happened did you charge it via the port without blowing the water out 1st? Did you clear the message in the staus bar? Everything could be fine but you just need to clear the message. I don't believe it goes away even after a reboot. The only way to clear it is to clear it via the status bar unless you do a factory reset and that's wiping your whole phone and starting from out of the box status.
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] Bdozier:
It was a while after that I plugged it in. And since my last post, I had charged it on my wireless charger and didn't get the message where I had before. Maybe I am done with the message?
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] travisw0204:
That could be a possibility. Maybe all of the water completely evaporated and that let the phone know everything was ok. I'm glad you are in the clear as of now. However, if it should happen again, just blow air into the open ports and then clear the message by pulling your status bar down and hitting clear.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdmba:
Is there a way to wake the phone from its sleep mode without opening up the keyboard? That's the only way I can figure out.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Twenty4:
A quick press of the power button on the side will wake it up.

This is written in the instruction manual.

You should have read that before using the phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] orvaq:
reaffect power button

is-it possible to use another button instead of the power button in order to power on/off the screen?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] unwired4:
Yes - if you disable the setting that stops all the other buttons from waking the device up (to avoid answering calls and making calls etc when its in your pocket).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] demione:
man that power button is hard to push though. am i the only one who has trouble finding it by touch alone? i was thinking of carving out an indentation in the casing to help my thumb 'find' it, but thought better of it....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] neva dinova:
what i do is set the keys to lock when the phone is locked then use s2u to serve as the lock. I havent accidently called anyone yet so i think its the quickest way to resolve the issue not to mention i like the way it makes my phone look
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jomo25:
I saw someone did a simple mod to make it easier to find. Dont remember where i saw it. if it find it'll post a link.

but what they did was bought a little "nub" from a craft store and glued it to the power button to make it stick out more so it was easier to find. It looked pretty good and probably did help in this situation. I've thought about doing the same.

That said, I essentially did what Neva said in the last post. I use S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) to lock the phone. And I set my phone to be "awakened" by any key press. And S2U2 is config'd to always run on wakeup. So I can't make a phone call by accident. it works great.

You can set the phone to awaken on any key press by setting here:

Settings | System | Key Lock | Do not lock buttons

[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] bignibb:
So today for no reason at all my Spen stopped clicking so i could remove it from the phone. I hardly use it and am not even sure why i was going to remove it from he phone in the first place but in order to remove it i have to bang my phone on something (glad i have it in a case)

Has this happened to anyone else and does Samsung warranty this or do i have to buy a new Spen?
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] bignibb:
Solved my own issue. Went to two sprint stores showed them my Spen and asked did they have any and the answer was no

So my next question was do you have any recalled Note 7's that they haven't sent back and the checked. I walked out with a black one and a blue one.

3.pixel launcher?

Or will Google keep some features exclusive to pixel devices?

Hope we get all the above features :)

I've messed around with pixel launcher and keep going back to Nova Launcher. I don't think there will ever be a more widely used and known launcher like Nova....Heck, I can remember LauncherPro back in the "good ole glory days"....I've heard of Google Assistant, but I haven't done much research on what exactly it will do for us...I road the bandwagon thinking Google Allo/Duo were going to be revolutionary, but I wasn't impressed...I have no idea what daydream is? Does it have anything to do with doze features? To answer your question, yes I believe Pixel and G.Ass. will be available to us on 7.1
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcet007:
Daydream is VR product from Google

Nope... Google has announced in a changelog that the new nev bar, Google assistant and the pixel launcher will all be exclusive to the Pixels...

Daydream is coming though, and I'm pretty sure that there's gonna be a ROM or some Xposed modules to port that functionality to the other devices...
