need advice - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my brother is trying to trade with me his lg g2 with a lot of accessories for my note 3 and I just dont know I f I should. Any advice from you guys? I like my note 3 and the fact that the g2 doesnt have external storage and the battery is not removable is what's holding me back. Also I enjoy my bigger screen and spen as well. Hus phone is a lot newer looking cosmeticaly. I have a few scratches on the silver bezel but the rest of the phone is great.
Any advice would be apreciated.

Just that...:banghead:

Don't do it.
If you enjoy the big screen, Spen, MicroSD and removable battery, why the hell would you give it up for a device that doesn't have any of those? It's not as if software tweaks can fix those on a device that doesn't have them.

i hope your not serious

Keep note

In my opinion keep the note 3 . First reason battery life.
Second: capacity on storage and on tasks handling.

Now that Galaxy Note 5 is released, simple question: WILL YOU BUY ONE?

Now that Galaxy Note 5 is released, simple question: WILL YOU BUY ONE?
Yes, I bought one out right, 64gb, black.
Edit: Will you buy one? If not, why?
Depending on the phone you're coming from but yeah I'm coming from the g4 and it's head over heels better than that device

No, I'm sticking with the Note 4 or moving to LG or Sony. I travel a lot, so upgradable storage and removable battery are must haves for me.
I don't want to rely on cloud storage or power outlets or BULKY external chargers.
I got one. And I love I it, so far.

I see. You should keep your Note 4 and hold up for the note 6 maybe they will add the micro SD and removable battery back (I'm hoping). The Note 4 still a great phone and I personally think nothing worth the upgrade over the Note 4 out there at the moment.
I got the Note5 because I loved the s-pen. I never use micro SD or change the battery.
Got it yesterday morning. So far, love it.
Don't buy one until I get mine first.
Got mine on Monday, been enjoying it all week. 64Gb black. Coming from an LG G2, fantastic upgrade.

Yup it would, but since this was almost free for me I really dont care what it would have cost me off contract.
Moved to AT&T next which saved me $25/month on my bill. The phone costs $28/month. Total cost to me $3 more per month.
Besides the G2 didnt have a removable battery, and didn't have mSD card support, so what exactly would the Note4 offer me that the note 5 doesnt, besides a slower SoC, less RAM, worse display (though its still a good one), worse s-pen, and cheaper feel.

More storage and removable battery. Essential for power users, so maybe you're just not a power user.

Lol I love this argument, i'm not a power user because I use cloud storage and sit at a desk therefore a removable battery means nothing to me.
I have USB OTG if I want removable storage so bad, but I have 1TB of cloud storage so generally I find that pointless, I have 30GB free on my 64GB note5 after installing my apps. I will be fine with the remaining storage considering I am used to 32GB internal from the G2.
You calling me not a power user because you can't fathom how someone else uses a phone without an mSD card or a removable battery is just stupid, those things have no correlation with being a power user. I keep my phone plugged into my computer for literally 80% or more of my day, what would a removable battery do for me? Nothing. mSD storage would allow me to keep 100GB of music with me at all times, sweet too bad I use spotify, or I could keep all those Linux distros on the mSD card, everyone knows power users use Linux for their primary OS so we always keep a distro or two on the phone just in case.
Give me a break, if you think someone not needing an mSD card slot and a removable battery means they aren't a power user then you don't know what a power user does. Those two things have absolutely no impact on what I use my phone for besides maybe not being a mobile data vault, which is a moot point when I have 1TB cloud storage and 75Mbps wifi.
Another dumb ass thread. If you don't want/like the phone don't get it. Nobody wants to keep logging in and seeing this crap. We are looking fwd to root and roms not people complaining about a phone. You don't Iike it don't buy it. Samsung will not lose sleep over you not getting this year's model. Stick to your Note from last year or whatever else you have and let us enjoy our devices. I go through a lot of devices.... Some with swappable battery and expandable storage... Some without. All manage to get me through a day or two and handle all task I do on a day to day basis. The Note 5 is a hell of a device. Awesome build quality, loud speaker, beautiful screen, beautiful camera, very responsive and very good battery life. Once we get root and custom roms more potential will be unlocked.

Really? Note 5 has the best SoC on the market, fastest RAM (LPDDR4) and more RAM (4GB), best display (18-23% brighter than note 4 while using 20% less power), and fastest internal memory (UFS 2.0).
I got the phone for basically free, but hey I guess i'm just "stupid" for getting the current best phone on the market while only spending $50 out of pocket.
I feel really dumb now.

Even with all that RAM Note 5 doesn't store apps in memory.
I bought it and still have my note 4.. Couple of downsides to it but it still outperforms the note 4 on every level.. .
I have a otg dongle for extra memory now that literally takes secs to use. And with Samsung's read write speeds it's more than adequately gets the job done..
But nonetheless I still will keep the 4 in case this thing goes belly up for some reason.

Seriously, I came into the thread since I already bought one. I posted a comment about buying it, the OP has done nothing but make rude comments and attack me since.
What the hell is the point of this thread if you're just going to call everyone who gets a note5 an idiot for not getting a note4?

I got to be honest I'm running note 3 and ported s6 rom it's a fantastic rom but obviously being 64 bit running on note 3 it has limitations I'm in London and for some reason we don't get n5 till Jan I don't understand logic behind the wait as we are usually before the us on updates iv a choice between s6 edge + note 4 edge or wait for n5 so was hoping for some for and against but seems like the op should rename thread to all who hate note 5 (and love note 4 )

Don't get me wrong I love my note 5 and I'm going to keep it the only thing I don't like about it is not having an IR blaster and that's just because I travel for work and I use it often I cannot wait to get this thing rooted and see what ROMs come out for it

Jumping from the S5 over to the Note 4 worth it ?

like the title says, i am currently owning the Galaxy S5 , my question is ,
is the Note 4 worth getting when i have a s5 ? i would like to experience the Note phone as i never had one before and i like the spen thingie looks cool.
did anyone here had a s5 and jumped to the Note 4 ?
i dont really want to get the S6 nor the Note 5 mainly due to no Removable back for battery swapping and the use of msd.
yesterday i had sell my s5 for a note 4! it is really better for performance battery camera everything! for me is it a good option!!!

awesome thanks, but how much extra did you pay on top of it ? i think if i sell my s5 in the city here i would barely get 200$ for trade in and would need to pay about 250$ for getting the note 4.
my biggest question is the screen bro,
how is the screen in your eyes??? i saw the note 4 screen from a friend and i didnt like it like MY eyes hurt from looking at it , as it is a QHD display will you get used to it ?? its sooo sharp ,
thanks for the feedback
I sold together with the gear neo 2 so I did not pay anything. an affair!
the screen is much larger of s5, MUCH! and everything is very clear ..sharp! the best display for me. the brightness is very high, to not have problems I keep it to less than half !! if you can buy it!
the memory is 32 gb ..i have 32 micro sd therefore at the top with removably battery!

nice , i am thinking of getting the 910F variant so i can have CM installed on it
thanks for the feedback, so in your opinion it is defintely worth it and it is much better than the s5 in everything ?:fingers-crossed:
I've had s5 for a year and I think it is much better. pictures at night for example are really the best.It is reactive with the TouchWiz !!! good buy!
ps i have 910F european version!
I didn't have an S5 but I did upgrade from a Note 3 to the Note 4.
In my opinion the Note 4 is a fantastic phone- the camera is superb and the screen is face-meltingly awesome.
However, just it can be laggy at times- I'm pretty sure it's a common issue amongst Note 4 users (I have lag and I'm running SimplRom- which in my experience gives the smallest amount of lag in comparison to other custom ROMs I've tried).
The battery life is pretty good too.
Personally I'd make the upgrade but just be warned- there is a fair amount of lag.
Perhaps have a look at review videos etc on YouTube? There's bound to be a comparison video somewhere.
Good luck!

and i think you should try CyanogenMod if you own a QualComm Note, the n910f < CM will give you zero lags bro , TW lag is in every Samsung phone XD

Hmm, difference in performance from your S5 to a SD Note 4 will be very minor. Specially because the display has a higher resolution.
Quite frankly, official 5.1.1 by Sammy is looking glorious. Phone is so ridiculously fast that I find myself playing of opening and closing apps.
I used CM variants at my S3 for 2~3 years straight, but apart from the cleaner look I honestly don't miss anything about it.
If you're dead set on using CM then the 910F is going to achieve daily driver level much sooner, but the 910C is a better device.

i see.. well i like CM alot, i had the Exynos S5 900h and i swapped it with a QualComm 900f, i really dont want to do that again, since the 910c is a Exynos based model, i think there isnt much of a difference personally.. cause i know this from owning the exynos/qualcomm based s5's.
how much do you like the Note 4 ? is it a very fun phone , like more fun than the smaller displays e.g s3/s4/s5 etc. the ones ranging from 4.7'' - 5'' etc. ?
oh and one more thing, how long will it take me to get used to the sharpness of the n4 screen ? the qhd is the thing that hurts my eyes, when i looked at the one from my relative his n4 hurt my eyes, it is non fake , he has the 910h < exynos one.
will my eyes adapt to the huge sharp screen in a matter of days ?

Is the Note 4 the best upgrade from a Note 2?

My Note 2 has served me well, but it's time to move on. The screen shows signs of burn in, and applications frequently crash due to (likely) faulty memory. Clearing the cache helps, but it's not something I want to do daily.
I'm looking for a similar phone with a pen/stylus, replaceable battery and mSD card support. Is the Note 4 the only option? Other than having a phone with no faults, what are expected to be the main benefits if I upgrade, and are there any regressions/drawbacks to consider?
Thanks!
wait a few weeks and see what the Note 7 have to offer ( it wont have removable battery though )
definately Note 7 - waterproof, with decent camera and audio, superb screen, sd card and many many more. I migrated to Note4 (DN5) from N3 and I'm waiting also for n7 as n5 is a crap (or beta version )
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!
2 august is the day!!!
SM-N910F
What happens on August 2?
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
When you say the N910C is much more stable do you mean the N910F tends to crash / freeze, or something else?
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?

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.

HI all........confused

Hi all,
I'm confused and very hesitant about upgrading , I have a note 4 and like I said I'm very hesitant and reluctant to upgrade because I don't want to be a slave to a charger.....this is the number one reasons I hate Iphones besides not being able to expand the memory you can't switch out the battery, and you become as I stated a slave to a charger. Also I want to know if you are rooted & running the latest software does it make a difference what device you have?
I know a friend of mine who has an s6 and I know one who has a note 5 their constantly charging it because the battery is constantly dying. can anyone tell me why I should upgrade to a note 5 if I cant expand the memory?
Can anyone tell me weather I'm doing the right thing, Or can anyone tell me anything to rest aside my fears concerning upgrading. & tell me is it at all worth it to do?
......thanks

Keep your Note 4 or don't. Ask your self, what do you want?
Note 5 for me would be a downgrade. To be able to change battery is a must. Same with SD-Card.
If i'm not mistaken Note 5 have a camera that is a bit less than Note 4.
You can root with stock kernel and have the exact same battery you have now.
If you use a custom ROM then it's a trail and error to see if you get worse or better battery time.
If you ask me, keep your Note 4. It's a wonderful phone.

Do not upgrade to a Note 5. The Note 4 is way better of a phone! Period! I don't know about the S6 or S7.
If you want to upgrade, do your research.
Edit, This phone is the greatest in my eyes. The new flagships might have faster cpu and ram. But just think about what you personally use your phone for. Unless your running some serious power software or powerful new game that can't hold up on this phone, then why? We got decent cpu, gpu, Ram. They screen display is awesome. Replaceable battery, ext sd, remote control.
So you have to ask yourself, what real benefit will you get from upgrading besides having a new phone.
If your bored with its looks, maybe flash a new Rom.
Hope this helps!

Yes
Just think what option/feature you don't have right now with your Note 4? Decent processor and RAM, GPU also, fantastic screen - not small, but not too big too, expandable storage, removable battery, S-pen, IR blaster, good camera... For those who are willing to sold their kidney for the latest phone with "greatest" camera I can suggest to spend about 500-600€ for a good real DSLR and the rest for a decent phone. That way picture quality will be unmeasurable with any phone and for the rest of the money one can get decent phone.
Only downside of keeping the Note 4 (if you don't want to play with custom ROMs and want to keep with stock ROM) is Samsung's bad habit to abandon any device as soon as the production is over. But you can sign a petition to Samsung for stock Android 7 here https://www.change.org/p/samsung-sa...97a-b3ea-0c82b26917e6?source_location=minibar I already sign. 850 people too. The fact is that I really do not expect any reaction from Samsung, but worth to try.
In a near future I will not sell my Note 4

I have a Note 4, rooted, Custom recovery and custom ROM.. Emotion 6.0.1..added app to use the Spen.. running sweet..

S8 alternative ?

I used to be a Samsung fanboy from the S2 up to Note 4... but as you all know, Samsung has gone the "apple" way with their phones. I really like removable back cover to change batteries. Both our Note 4's at home have just recently changed batteries because the old ones were bloated.
Now I am thinking of getting a new phone, the S8 looks nice but I am looking for an alternative with similar or specs but removable back of course (except iCrap) ...
Thanks

Good luck. Samsung is still one of the few with a headphone jack even.
Oneplus 5 has the same Snapdragon 835 as the US S8's and more RAM, but people are complaining about camera and "jello effect" issues with it.

I used to be a Samsung fanboy from the S2 up to Note 4... but as you all know, Samsung has gone the "apple" way with their phones. I really like removable back cover to change batteries. Both our Note 4's at home have just recently changed batteries because the old ones were bloated.
Now I am thinking of getting a new phone, the S8 looks nice but I am looking for an alternative with similar or specs but removable back of course (except iCrap) ...
Thanks

Almost every (if not every) phone has a non removable back cover now...
Samsung is still a nice option if you like a stock phone. Otherwise you could buy a Oneplus 5 or the upcomming pixel 2

It may not be that easy to find a nice phone with removable battery. I have LG G5 that has removable battery, but that is 2016. I don't believe most people use their phones for more than 2 or 3 years and for that period the built-in battery is enough.
you are getting 64GB internal memory and 4GB RAM what else do you need in this price mate? those brands like Samsung, LG or any other you name it will charge you over $500 for same these specs

They are not the same specs by any stretch of the imagination. LOL.
