So far my experience has been a good one, except for a weird bug that could be my sim card, basically it's only when I call my girlfriend that it rings twice and goes silent on my end but on her end she gets the call just fine like normal, but with using WiFi calling and calling from other phones calls are normal on both ends, what I did notice was that if I call using my cellular network is that on my end it will ring twice then once her phone starts ringing it goes silent on my end. Anyone have this issue before?
But back to the point of this phone is so nice I don't even care for the compact anymore as this is a perfect size phone and its speakers sound good but I need to mess with headphone settings to try out the audio. Camera is good but sometimes it's not accessible through the lockscreen and the icon on the bottom disappears but besides that I love the remote play feature and that's there's optional overlay touch controls. I wish the app drawer had an option to hide apps though because some icons are ugly and belong to bloat ware. The stock themes are nice too I'm rocking the green one

If you choose "Own order" you can have folders in the app drawer. You can then throw all your unused apps in one folder and you won't have to seem them all the time

That's so funny, this happened to me twice while I was calling and I caught my self going "hello hello" and then the person on the other end answered and goes "were you talking to someone?"
Yeah, I don't know what the issue is but I have noticed it. I would consider this a feature, but with T-Mobile in my area you never know when you have dropped a call :/

my buddy just went from his old blackberry curve(original) to an evo. he is wanting to be able to just hit something and block all texts/emails/notifications after a certain time of the evening and only allow phone calls to come in. he said his old blackberry he could just put it on phone only. is there an app or a setting to do this in one step on our evo's? i was thinking just toggle the network off. i would think that should knock out emails for sure but i don't know about gmail or texts.
not sure about an app but i am certain cynogens mod has a quite time feature that does the same function

Since the first day i have been having this issue where i lose the 3G connection and i have to restart the phone in order to recover the connection.
Disabling and re-enabling the data connection using the MIUI toggles does not work for this either: Just rebooting does the trick..... testing different modems is the way to go in order to find the one that works better?

There is not much difference between LPQ and LP7. Only the scrolling is utterly contradictory to each other. LPQ- Elastic scrolling. LP3/LPS- Continuous scrolling. I think Samsung is deliberately doing it, to see which one users like and accept most, the former or later one. And, NO, neither of them have any serious bugs or issues, they are more or less finished and complete ROM's. Some improvements are needed, but that's how always it has been. So anyone saying either LPQ or LPS buggy, laggy are probably like to see their post count higher or making fun lying deliberately.
I, for me, loves the Elastic scrolling. Really hated that continuous scrolling of LPS/3. Different people, different choice and opinion.
My main issue with the samsung ROMs are the fact you cant access contacts fom the phone.
You have to literally go on the contacts app. Pain. Major pain

As puiradu2009 said above you have a contacts button on your screen, besides that you can call directly from your contacts by swiping right, or swiping left to text.
No need to take the extra step of going into your dialer first then to contacts to call.

I'm using Tasker to turn off Mobile Data when on Wifi, set my phone in "Work" mode when I get to work (Silent, no Bluetooth), disable PIN lock when I'm at home, disable USB debugging when I'm away from home and reboot every morning.
The greatness of he program is that you can do pretty much anything with it. I currently I use it for 2 main things. I have set up a profile so automatically launches carhome ultra when it detects that I am connected to my cars bluetooth and I have it plugged into a charger. That way when I jump into the car I just have to put it in its holder and plug in the charger and I am good to go.
I also have created a 3 short cuts that have automated my "wifi calling" profile. One shortcut automatically forwards my number to a google voice number The second toggles airplane mode (so I don't kill my battery searching for a signal), activates wifi and logs me into groove ip. The final one automatically unforwards my number.
On my old G2 I also had a profile that launched a screen dimming program and clock/alarm program when it detected my home wifi and ac power. I used my phone as my bedroom clock
Hope this gives you some ideas
I have an NFC tag in my car and when I scan it, turns on Bluetooth, and opens the Assistant app. Then, depending where I am (checks if my Last WiFi connection was my house) it will ask where would I like to go. I say a place and it says ok let's go to %place name% or if I wasn't at home it will prompt me if I want to navigate home
Sent from my Nexus 4
I have in the past to automate tasks but with nfc task launcher I don't need it, of course instead I need nfc tags but it's more convenient for me.
Where to start?!! I currently have 14 profiles and over 25 tasks! I use for all sorts eg:
Sunrise and sunset - Gets these from a yahoo api every day and updates a minimalistic text widget
Sleep mode - Check in and out of Sleepbot, does all the sound etc too and sets a variable which I use for some other profiles that I only want to run when I'm asleep.
Car mode - When I am in the car it sets the ringer, turns vibrate off, sets screen to fully on and opens car home. Also uses the sun info from above and it it is dark outside will run Screen Filter to drop the screen brightness right down.
Car exit - When I leave the car it automatically stores the time and location so I can navigate back to the car (useful if I park somewhere unusual or in a big car park) and another widget keeps the time in case I am on a meter.
Work - Sets the sound when in range of work wifi
Various locations - A few like the gym and badminton club which check in to foursquare, go silent, enable secure lock screen and, when leaving, remind me to turn of my heart rate monitor.
Frost check - Check the weather evey hour at night and if it ever drops below freezing, pops a notification so in the morning I know if I need to allow more time to de-ice the car
Games/Gallery - When a game or the gallery is open it stops the screen from locking which is especially handy when showing photos to people
I also use a lot of these with NFC tags such as the sleep one and car.
And others! I'm always playing around with it and the scenes function allows you to create entire interfaces!
Nice guys.. I gotta start using tags.. where did you buy yours from? havea few links for decently cheap ones? places in canada are either charging rip off prices, or stupidly high shipping

I got them from this seller http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=181025690679&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:GB:3160
I am in the UK but they will ship to Canada. Alternatively, look for similar tags on eBay Canada but make sure to avoid Mifare 1k tags, they don't on the N4
Is it possible to tap two phones together and have one phone initialize hotspot using NFC?
There's a ton of things you can do with Tasker. I'm just using it to change my wallpaper. I've got a different one for sunrise, morning, daytime, sunset, and evening. Additionally, when it rains or the weather is overcast, I've got different wallpapers.
I think one of the best things about Tasker is cell triangulation for location. Basically a rough gps of your location to use all the profiles and settings at different locations and essentially no battery cost as it just pulls data your radio is anyway.
The only downside is your limitations are there because not all apps have plug ins. For example I'd like to setup a task for Rom toolbox to backup apps but that's not possible, I think.

I'm not going to say yes because I haven't done it BUT I'm sure it can, I'm pretty sure the primary function (detecting another nfc device) is built into android so tasker should be able to take that trigger and toggle wifi ap.

Modaco did a good guide to Tasker recently:
http://www.modaco.com/page/news/_/android/android-features/mastering-tasker-1-getting-started-r671
I agree the interface needs work but waiting for that is daft. It's all about automation and once the tasks are created you don't see the app itself very often. It's not pretty but I think that is vastly outweighed by how incredibly powerful it is.

I found this feature by downloading "Any cut" from the play store and then scrolling through the list and finding "identify unsaved numbers" you can then turn it on from there.
Very similar In Nova Launcher... Create a new activities widget... Scroll down to the third phone choice (it has the most choices)... Then select "identify unsaved numbers"... That will create a shortcut.. Open it and flip the switch.
Yeah there are numerous programs out there.
True Caller, Whitepages ID, etc.
I would have liked not to download an extra program when it's built into the dialer.
I started a forum in the Verizon Community.
Hopefully if we get enough people to annoy them, they will bring it back.

can always install it via the app store. it doesn't integrate with the dialer like the samsung version was supposed to, but it will pop on top of the default dialer and give you an alert. just a thought.
This looks really good. I"m currently using CallApp, based on pulling info from social sites, Facebook, Twitter ect. but I want something more.
It is possible to get the builtin whitepages semi working. (the caller id works but searching for local business via the contacts search bar doesn't seem to) However doing so requires a rooted phone. If you go to your system/app folder you should see a folder called SmartCallProvider. Inside is the whitepages apk. make sure it was the right permissions rw-r--r-- then go to your system/csc folder. here you want to add this line to your feature.xml file.
Code:
<CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>whitepages,whitepages,on</CscFeature_Common_ConfigSvcProviderForUnknownNumber>
reboot phone and it should be working. I've only recieved one unknown number call since then but whitepages seems to work as it was identified as a scam number.

you also need to enable the "identify unsaved numbers" setting in your dialer, which should now be available after preforming the modification.
I thought I would start a thread and find out what people have missed not having root. What I was also thinking is that maybe some of these things could be achieved some other way but I just don't know how and others might.
1. Titanium backup. Not only could you backup applications you could freeze and uninstall any apps. I hate that I can't uninstall bloatware.
2. Would love to be able to long press the volume keys to skip tracks like with xposed
3. Xposed.
4. Clearing Cache (Delvik and Cache)
5. Full backup in TWRP
6. The annoying warning when listening to music too loud. Get rid of that!

There is a free app in the Playstore that works without root to change tracks with the screen off. It's called Smart Pocket - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartvibration

Titianium is my #1 missed program and the reason I started rooting my devices in the first place! Second to that I miss the "hold back to kill" feature and also call recording. Most apps are getting better at being able to save progress or data to the could or to the SD card, but not all. Once root is achieved, I will do it just to get TiBu working again!
For me since i was able to get tethering working i am not missing anything. if/when sprint takes it away i will be sad. Actually i am kinda of relieved that this phone has to stay stock and i can't modify it. I was a flash once or twice a day some times kinda of guy before and i was alway frustrated with how unstable Android would get when flashing that much. With the power this phone has it does not need most of the things we needed with the s4 or note's. by far the best phone i have had, It will be tough to give it up when the s8 comes out next year (since i am on the galaxy for life plan) but im sure i will swap it out, unless they pull another s6 and take the sd card away again.
CM based roms.
Full control of phone, ie being able to force phone into roaming. (Im actually having a roaming data issue that I cant troubleshoot unless Im in a roaming area and thats usually when Im driving so its impossible to troubleshoot).

Titianium is my #1 missed program and the reason I started rooting my devices in the first place! Second to that I miss the "hold back to kill" feature and also call recording. Most apps are getting better at being able to save progress or data to the could or to the SD card, but not all. Once root is achieved, I will do it just to get TiBu working again!

You can record calls without root.

Thanks, I'll look into that one. Usually the non-rom based ones require the phone to be on speakerphone to record. Perhaps things have changed though.
Just tried it out and it won't work. It only records my side of the conversation and not the other end. Oh well
My primary reason to root in the past, other than bloatware removal and the hotspot mod, was an app requiring root that I have run on my last 6 phones, going back to the original Epic 4G. It's called "Call Master" (by "Fahrbot") and it is one of the most complex apps I've ever used, besides some of the Wanam apps/plugins. It's the most comprehensive call blocking app as far as I know, and that's why it requires root, to hook into the phone's services in order to catch/answer/hang-up any call from any number that is not in my contact list. It prevents non-contacts/unknown/restricted/private numbers from even ringing my phone, let alone leaving me a voicemail. They just hear dead air when they dial my number. In effect, it is a "white-list" call blocking *root-only* app, and I I simply can't live without it. The built in so-called "blocking" settings of the S7E seems to send callers to voicemail, which defeats the whole point. That's call rejection, not call blocking, right?
I REALLY NEED A SOLUTION FOR THIS!! Spam calls driving me nuts and getting a VM means they register it as a known active cell#.
Does anyone out there know of a non-root call blocker app that has a white-list function, AND will truly block/hangup instead of just rejecting calls? So glad you created this thread OP. Some of the solutions given in response to what people are missing without root are things I already know I'll try out.

I've been using "Call Blocker Voicemail Blocker" for about a week now and so far, so good.

I'll check this out. Thanks. Anyone else using some other solution? I didn't realize just how much I needed Call Master (which I paid for) until I got this phone and could no longer use it without root.

Got this app up and running, but the feature called "stranger call blocking" would need to enabled to act as a true white-list blocker. The app says that feature requires "app upgrade" but I can't find anywhere in the app to purchase a key/license, despite the Play Store page's reference to in-app purchases...

Don't know...
Go to the developers page in the play store and it should be there. I think the "premium" version has a different name for some reason.

Geez, I'd miss a lot of important calls if I blocked any number not in my contacts. Businesses including doctor's office, frequently show a different outgoing number than the number they give you to call. People I know who use a different number than normal. My wife once left her phone somewhere, and a stranger found it and called me (my number was on her lock screen). It would have been gone forever if I blocked all unknown numbers.
