I've had no issues with the official Samsung batteries for the Note 4. Thought I did, turns out it was a issue with the Marshmallow OS update that stops you from fully charging a new battery on it. I can still charge the battery that originally came with my device though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] julianalaqrua:
as I know there is no new original batteries for samsung note4 for sale at this moment. you should search for analogues. I know that Craftman batteries are good as original.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] woldranger:
Well, after buying a Ravpower battery and going on my trip I'm very disappointed to say that they've all failed - one of the Anker units swelled as has the Ravpower one and the remaining 2 Anker ones randomly shut the phone down, and not just when they're running low either - it's happened when the battery is at 90% at times!

Anker have zero stock so issued refunds and I'm waiting to hear back from Ravpower but a quick look at their amazon.co.uk listing shows that they're out of stock here in the UK.

I'm in need of at least one fully functioning battery to test the phone (I've installed a different ROM to be sure it wasn't a software issue or rogue app). The only non generic one I can find is this - has anyone had any experience with them?

What about any other options - with such an active note 4 community, surely we're all in need of new batteries at some point - what do you use? (I don't want to spend £35-40 for a new Sammy unit on a phone that cost me £150!)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Selanik:
I'm hesitant to recommend this due to the aforementioned 'roulette', but I notice MyMemory have some 'new and improved one from the original manufacturer'. (can't post a link as a new poster)

I've ordered Samsung SD cards from MyMemory before and they've been fine, so they obviously have some distributor link to Samsung - not just random suppliers from Amazon. They also sell a small variety of Samsung accessories - ie they aren't a general mobile tat vendor.

However the bit that worries me is the 'new and improved' and 'The Note 4 battery has increased autonomy performance and fits perfectly in your smartphone.' - I haven't studied this, but I'm surprised that OEM batteries would change design after the phone's release.

They also have a 2-power battery - I've heard positive things about 2-power, but no experience myself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Big Elf:
I've also bought decent stuff from Mymemory as well but firstly they're too cheap and secondly the QR code is missing the unique serial number that genuine batteries should have (and are on the ones that Samsung UK were selling a couple of months ago). The S/N printed on the battery is actually a batch number.

I've had a couple of Ankers fail and was refunded without hassle by Anker. I have 3 RAVPower and one has been in use since last September and has been 'fast charged' almost daily with, so far, no problems.

Last year I would have bought one or two, tested them for capacity and then challenged the supplier when they fell short but I'm pretty much fed up with testing them now plus I have a decent stock for my Note 4s,

Hi Guys , Just wanted to ask is there anyway that Microsoft Launcher can be Merged with Google now cards instead of its own cards page ?
[Moto G 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ntcarib:
you also had that idea - merge both big companies - pure evil! i mean genius!

even their search box which by default use bing (yuck) - is allowed to be changed to google (winning!)

i tried just adding the Google App shortcut to my desktop - not as convenient as swiping from the left to right.

then i thought about XDA - a winning bunch of programmers (that's you right? - yes it is - don't be bashful)

if i could code - i would be all over this like white on rice - oh yeah

any programmers here up for the challenge??

Sorry, I haven't been on here in a long time. Samsung locked everything down so I haven't even tried to root anything lately.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSMR:
Checking the status of visual voicemail on the Note 4.

According to wikipedia, "In 2015, Google brought a native implementation of visual voicemail into Android via the Marshmallow update, by integrating it into the dialer user interface, thereby allowing compatible carrier VVM services to hook into it with minimal configuration."

The Note 4 has Android 6.0.1 officially I think, so does that mean it supports visual voicemail?

The Samsung website refers to specific carriers and apps, not integrated standards-compliant support.

Refugee here from Windows Mobile. Enjoying the Note 4 stylus, and great to have so many apps in the store, but android is such a catastrophe of an operating system!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CalvinL:
So my first Note 8 had draining problems which seemed to somehow fix itself with every other cycle. I replaced it with my current Note 8, which had really great battery life for a week. Yesterday, it started draining randomly at 3%++ on idle. I didn't download any new apps. I didn't change anything at all. According to GSAM, it just says it's from app usage, but I'm not using the phone and all apps are closed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gary02468:
In Settings|Device Maintenance, you can find a list of apps that are draining the battery.

What does GSAM report for deep-sleep percentage?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
Do you have AOD turned on? Many are reporting excessive battery drain from it.

I have found this useful on more than one occasion. It will give you deeper insight into what's going on, than the battery monitor in the phone.

https://www.xda-developers.com/stop-wakelocks-android-without-root/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] milesg:
Another vote to look at disabling AOD.

I checked my battery stats yesterday and it was the top consumer after 5 hours of work. I didn't use my phone much - there was about an hour of SOT, but the AOD seems to be taking way more than 1% an hour - more like 4-5% an hour in my case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] usmaak:
I do hope that they fix this issue in an update. I'd like to use AOD, but not at the expense of that much battery life per hour. I guess when they're testing their software, they don't test battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] black96ss:
I wonder why the AOD draining more. I don't ever remember seeing AOD using battery on my S7E. I love the AOD but i have it set on a schedule. ifi leave it on all day it consumes 5-6% battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] GallardosEggrollShop:
Chiming in to say AOD was the culprit for me as well. I was losing as much as 5% an hour on AOD. Just not optimized. I had it on all the time using my S8+ and it didn't drain more than 6% for a whole day which is something I can live with.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CalvinL:
I don't have AoD turned on, but it's also not disabled. It's still active, but I can disable it with BK Disabler.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CalvinL:
It doesn't list anything in particular that is draining it, which is why I'm having so much trouble finding out the issue. My old Note 8 would drain for 3% per hour and then after a charge or two, it would go back to normal. This time, it hasn't reverted back to normal yet.

For deep sleep and light sleep, they're both around 40-something percent.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGlues:
The goal of this thread is to help you enable external Bluetooth support for Lineage 14.1. You would want this for example in case you need Bluez tools like l2ping for a BlueSmack attack.

Notices:

I am in no way responsible for any damage you do following this guide. Every step is done at own risk.

The only drawback of this method is that the creation of BT sockets will instantly return and never block so that an application must first wait a few seconds on itself.

I know that this method is far from perfect. I spent 70+ hours to make this work even though I'm not a C# developer. If you have a better method feel free to share it.

Please find some useful files as attachments.

Requirements:

1. The ability to build for your device using Lineage source

2. A fully prepared and ready-to-build directory with Lineage 14.1 source (Refer to this guide in case you do not know what to do)

3. An S4 mini and a compatible USB-togo-cable with external powering.

Steps:

1. Start with a terminal in the root directory of the source

2. Update the repo using "repo sync"

3. go to "kernel/samsung/msm8930-common". This directory will be named "kernel directory" by now on.

4. execute "./make_defconfig samsung_serrano_defconfig"

5. in the config enable everything to be built-in in "Networking support/Bluetooth subsystem support"

6. now go to "Bluetooth device drivers" and check "HCI USB driver" to be built-in

7. save and exit

8. go to "net/bluetooth" in your kernel directory and edit hci_core.c

9. find the method "hci_register_dev" and comment out these 2 lines in it:

if (!hdev->destruct)

return -27;

10. open "l2cap_core.c" in "net/bluetooth" in your kernel directory

11. find the method "l2cap_sock_connect"

12. go to the end of this method and remove the "bt_sock_wait_state" call before "wait:"

13. add these two lines where you removed the call from the step above:

sk->sk_state = BT_CONNECTED;

sk->sk_state_change(sk);

14. Finally, build the source and flash to your device. Before you flash make sure you have an emergency copy of a fresh Lineage build on your device in case something with the USB drivers goes wrong

15. Get the app "Linux deploy" and setup Kali Linux.(I tried it with this OS but any other Linux based OS is likely to be working, too)

16. Boot into Kali, plug in your Bluetooth stick and enjoy your working external BT!

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ouikikazz:
Now that today is the official release of the pixel 2 and instead of speculations is it confirmed that bootloader can't be unlocked on Verizon edition phones?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
Here's the thing..... Unless you're credit is HORRIFIC.... Google store should approve you to finance through them....so what's the point of getting it through Verizon only to be locked?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ouikikazz:
I'm buying it outright but the kinda blue color is what I'm thinking of and if the bootloader can't be locked the Google store I go
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
It's not Google store that does the financing. It's a third party and they do a credit check, set you up with an account, and then send you all kinds of offers and credit limits. No thanks. I'd rather just do the monthly from Verizon if you don't care about bootloader. If you want to unlock the bl then you have no choice. Either pay outright or finance from a credit agency.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
First.... Symantics. Second, too get that Verizon account you had to go through a credit check and you think Verizon isn't selling your information? Or hasn't already?

It's 6 of 1, half dozen of the other. The monthly finance payment is the same. I did the device payment through Verizon because Best buy offered me $100 gift card and depixel 8 was out to unlock the Verizon bootloader. Otherwise it would have been Google store all the way.

Your statement is just an expansion of every minute detail but bottom line is the same. Synchrony bank vs Verizon financing. Still the same monthly phone payment. If you need to compartmentalize it to justify one way or another doesn't really change the reality
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Well naturally if you don't already have a Verizon account then it would be ridiculous to set one up just to buy this phone. I didn't think we were talking about that but the fact of opening another credit account when one already exists. The discussion though it really about bootloaders. If you have a Verizon account (let's just assume most reading this do) then if you don't need to root the device why not go through Verizon? I'm just not seeing the reason to open another credit account with a limit of 3k, which I believe is the default of Synchrony.

Whether or not any company sells your information is well beyond the scope of this discussion and a debate I'm not willing to get into. But I would like to know if a Verizon model bought from Google is able to be bl unlocked. I haven't seen the definitive answer yet but I'm sure it's coming very soon.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] freebee269:
i just got my google pixel 2 XL in the mail. i took out the verizon sim card that was already in there and put in my tmobile sim. i turned on the phone and skipped past all the prompts to get to the home screen. i then went to developer options to see if oem unlock is greyed out and it is. i did a factory reset with tmobile sim in just for good measure but it's still greyed out.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
So to clarify.. you bought a Verizon branded phone from Google and not from Verizon right? Did you connect to the network after putting in the TM sim? Those are 2 very important facts.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] freebee269:
i thought the question in the OP was about a verizon bootloader meaning a phone got from verizon. the one i have came from verizon. my tmobile is still active so when i put it in it automatically connected to tmobiles network.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ouikikazz:
Thank you that's the answer I was looking for...crappy
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
Ok, thanks. We have determined that Verizon bought phones are and will be bootloader locked. However, we're trying to determine if Google bought Verizon phones are locked as well.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ouikikazz:
Would be good to know this as well... Maybe even the ones from the pop up stores
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Wasn't the Pixel in the same position and anything Verizon related whether the store or fr Verizon the same?

My money is it will be locked. Why would Verizon go through he trouble for exclusive especially a color if it could be bought elsewhere without the same restrictions?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] 318sugarhill:
I hear you... But my point remains the same. 99.9% chance Verizon model gets locked. No reason to believe pixel 2 will be different than the original in that regard. So..... For ZERO difference in price or payment you get an unlocked bootloader or a locked one. jcase has been saying for years.... If you want an unlocked phone... Buy an unlocked phone. He's right. The ability to unlock through an exploit ultimately makes the device less secure for everyone. Me I take the choice to unlock mine.... So I'll go the hassle of synchrony credit to get the phone on device payments
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I can think of one reason. If you bought it from Google then they are not responsible for any incursions into the bootloader or bricks. Even hardware problems they can just say "Hey you didn't buy it from us so call your vendor." I believe that if the bootloader is unlocked somehow on a Verizon model then they can also say you voided your warranty although I don't believe it will be unlocked anytime in the near future.
