They were working fine until yesterday when the right one suddenly got very quiet and the only way to use them now is to move the balance to one spot before its only the right one and have the volume at full.
Also this is the first time I've had an issue with any bundled headphones as the ones for my sgs3 were fine until my cat decided they would make a great toy.

No sorry, still using my old Note 2 headphones. The ones from my S5 and note 4 are still In there packaging ? did you try them on other hardware? Just to make sure it are the headphones and not a phone issue
I took them in to my carrier and told them the problem just now and they tested them on one of their phones and just gave me a new pair

Awesome. I had problems with headphones that came with another phone I had, and my carrier replaced it no problem too.

Hi all,
Well, hope someone can give me their opinions here.
I have had a Samsung Galaxy note II for a couple of months now, but I am considering getting the Nexus 4 since I want stock Android and get access to the latest Android updates.
Also, the Note II has been a little big to me.
I heared somewhere that the microphone of the phone is not that good, is this really true?
How do you like the phone? Is this a good choice?
I know that some peole may chooce the Samsung for it's screen, but other than that?
Another thing is the built in battery on the Nexus 4 wich I don't like, but suppose one has to live with that.
Any comments please!
Many thanks!

I had a note 2 before the N4 came out. And for me the note 2 was just too big. I like being able to use the whole device with one hand.
That said. The mic on the N4 is fine when making voice calls. the problem I noticed is when recording video, or using apps like voxer walkie talkie or VOIP apps. Basically anything other than voice calls. I can't explain why, but it just sounds like your always way to close to the mic.
The ear piece has some fuzz sound on voice calls (unless they fixed it in newer revisions.).
I also feel like the signal is worse with this phone. What ever the logistics are it will often go from 3 bars to 1 bar without evening touching it, but doesn't seem to affect the use of it unless you're in a poor coverage area already then it will show no service much more often than my G nex or Note 2 did.
The note 2 has much better battery life because of size and I like that it is removable. I also really like the wireless charging on the Nexus. I miss SD slot on note.
All that said. I still prefer the nexus over the note 2 at this point.

I also had the Galaxy Note 2 and it is a great phone with very good batterylife. But what i like more is the pure android xperience without the touchwizz shell over it, the bleeding edge cpu and gpu and fast updates. Also i like the size and usabilty is better than on th GN2. And since 4.2.2 batterylife has improved a lot. I would recommend the Nexus 4 for daily use and speed and the Note 2 if you like using the S-pen features and appreciate the screen size.
Hi,
Many thanks for your replies!
That sounds good, I don't use the S-pen and it's OK with not using the big screen as the Note 2 has and as i said, want to get the new Anroid updates and I don't know if the Note 2 will be updated to v4.2. I don't like the touchwiz that much either so I can live without it.
How is the loud speaker on the phone then? Is it OK?
Some people have said that this is a downgrade from Note 2, but I don't think so.
Many thanks!
The speaker is okay to me, but I don't expect a lot from phone speakers. Definitely not as good as the note's though.

The Note II will probably be updated to 4.2.1/4.2.2 around Q2 2013 (so that is when the next v. of android will be announced.)
Hi! I bought my Nexus 4 two days ago and I've been having a few issues with it. I still haven't flashed it yet so I have 2 weeks to return it to the store. It came with 4.2.2
Here are the problems I have :
- When playing music over bluetooth with my wireless headset there's stuttering every once in a while... some time the audio cuts for a good 1 or 2 seconds.
- When making calls (through the phone, not with a bluetooth device) the sound quality is bad. I don't know how to describe the problem but it's as if at higher volume, the little speaker vibrates and make an annoying noise.
-I turned all sounds/vibration off because I was using the phone in the bed while my girlfriend was sleeping next to me. Yet, some times, when I touch the screen to open a page I could hear a small "click" sound.
Now I'm quite sure the two last issues can be fixed by changing the phone for another Nexus 4. For bluetooth problems, I think it may be related to a bug in 4.2.2. (based on posts of Galaxy Nexus owners who said their bluetooth worked fine in 4.1 but they had similar problems to what I had in 4.2.x)
THe big question I'm asking myself is this one :
-Should I get another Nexus 4 or should I go for the Galaxy SIII ?
Edit : What makes me afraid of the Galaxy SIII are the physical buttons on the screen. I prefer the way the Nexus 4, no buttons, more space for the screen. The CPU and RAM seems better in the Nexus 4. Does it make a huge difference compared to the Galaxy SIII ? I had a Nexus S before and it was quite slow compared to my new N4... a point for the SIII is that there is LTE coverage in my area. Is it really worth it? I only have 1 gig of data anyway...
Just return it and get a replacement.

What kind of headset do you have? I have a JayBird Freedom headset and it would cut out with all of my phones that have Bluetooth 4.0. I have a plantronics set of ear buds that doesn't ever cut out. It might be worth trying a different headset. I think you would be happy with either phone, there is a ton of dev support for the gs3, plus lte. The quality of the nexus 4 is not as good as the gs3 in my opinion. But for the price and updates from google, the nexus 4 is better for me.

The headset is a Monoprice brand handset. (Cannot post link...)
It is bluetooth 3.0 and It works well with my Nexus S, my girlfriend's iPhone, and 3 computers. I don't really want to get a new pair for the Nexus 4 only. For now I'm thinking of using my Nexus S as a MP3 player at work, hoping a future update will fix bluetooth.
My Samsung Galaxy S I9000 been sat in it's box for nearly 2 year now, originally got it on contract with T-mobile & still looks good as new & never bothered to sell it on, after i got the S2 which i bought to use with my contract with the i9000 at the time.
Anyways for old times sake I decided to stick it on charge and fire it up, tell ya what what considering it now 3 years old and only have 512mb & a single core 1Ghz Processor it seems to stand the test of time well, everything i've tried on it upto now seems to run well app wise, not gonna bother trying Real Racing ect as i know it probably be a stutter fest, but angry birds works well lol.
As it still running stock T-mobile 2.3.3, I might just update it with a custom Jelly Bean Rom see how it runs on that.
One last thing looking at the side of my S4 it looks tiny, back when i bought it i thought at the time it was massive for a mobile lol.
Yeah I know what you mean size wise lol, looks so out of date compared to the s4 but back then it looked so good... aha

Doesn't it just lol, tell ya what the camera & 720p video are still very decent and playing back music is superb on what is now considered a low end smartphone spec wise, It could easily put all 2012/13 low end smartphones to shame.
I know! But then again it was a £500 phone at the time only stopped using it a few weeks ago when I got my s4 and was still pretty decent running 4.2 remics jb

I'm using an I9000 as a second phone (hate dual SIM devices) and it's one awesome piece of hardware. With CM10.1 on it was lagging less than Galaxy S3! Now the S4 is an absolute beast but still... a 2010 model still going strong thanks to awesome software. Plus the sound is awesome, hehe
Still have mine as well. Doubt I'll ever get rid of it as it's a great back up phone. If only the newer phones were as tough as the SGS 1!
Dropped mine from a little over waist height the other day and I didn't even blink, as I knew it would survive without any problems at all. Sure enough, it did. The thing is built like a tank.
Yep. Have it plus the S3 and S3 4g as well. Only the S2 had been sold.
The S1 now has a data sim in it and is used for wifi tethering when needed. The S1 is unbreakable.

Still rocking it as a backup phone if ever needed and use it for my MP3 player at home, with Supercurio's Voodoo it's a beast of a player!
I am considering buying one (after Xmas) or a nexus 5. Is the Note 3 worth getting?
Which would you get? Would you buy another note 3 if yours broke?
Thanks

I don't have any issues with mine. I got it before the Nexus 5 was released because most likely the Nexus 5 won't have a 5.7inch display, microsd slot, and a 3200maH removable battery. Sure I can live without those features as I did with my Nexus 4 for a year, but it's a great feeling to have them back again.

I maybe stupid.Soft bricked twice testing kernels and almost totally bricked testing others.
It`s a beautiful phone....the way i test i`ll definately need to buy a new phone.....I`ll definately get another Note 3. Nothing beats it.
I don't know what issue you are mentioning (I have none till now), I'll say:
Yes for the terrific screen
Yes for the battery life
Yes for the small size and weight despite the big screen
Yes for the fluidity
No for the sound quality (speaker and even with a good headphone)
No for the Samsung add-ons
A big NO for the heavy shutter noise when taking a picture or a video. Currently it needs to be rooted to get silence.

Stop buying Samsung after s3 moved back to HTC was impressed with HTC one, thought I wouldn't buy Samsung until they looked more appealing. Finally bought note 3 on release date, couldn't help myself. Impressed with most parts of the phone. The only 2 major issues it freezes, lags and the side cheap plastic bezel. Now I'm thinking should have waited for Nokia 1520, not windows phone fan but 1520 looks a beast. Love the design and size I would wait.

what issues are you talking about? or i should say what issues have you heard about? i had some data issues when i got the phone but flashing a custom rom seemed to fix them... as for the note 3 or nexus 5, i would say if you have the play store in your country go with the nexus 5... if not get the note 3, cuz for that cheap price the nexus 5 will be a awesome phone...but i cant justify paying the same as i would pay for a note 3 and get the nexus 5 instead...we dont have the play store here
I have a stock Galaxy S4 google edition.
I drove from Chicago to Philadelphia and used the phone as GPS via Google navigation. I was connected to LTE from T-Mobile.
After I arrived and reboot the phone it stopped getting mobile network (no bars), cannot make any calls and GPS cannot fix the location anymore (in fact gps icon doesn't appear anymore when I run google maps).
The sim card works fine, as I checked it at T-Mobile office and I do have a valid plan and etc.
I tried factory reset, via settings and via boot menu, but nothing changed.
Luckily google agreed to send a replacement.
Did anyone have this kind of issue before?

Although im a samsung owner but I believe that its not a quality devices, I owned 5 HTC devices before the S4 and I can tell you that compared to samsung htc seems like a real genuine device, I just bought the S4 for the smart/air stuff as a change, its a good device but no quality whatsoever

Not sure why you think that Samsung devices are low quality, if you are thinking because its plastic feels cheap then I disagree with you. I had many friends using Samsung devices such as the S3 and Note 2 and fewer friends owning HTC devices. However, my Samsung friends except for one whose phone cannot switch on for no reason had no problems with their phones. However for my HTC friends, one of them who just used his phone barely 1/2 year is having problems with his power button. The other also had problems with his power button and recently his LCD just refused to switch on.
As for me myself, I owned S1, S3 and now S4 and I had no problems with any of the devices. All of them are still working perfectly. I also owned a LG Nexus 4. That device feels more "expensive" than any Samsung devices. It feels more solid but however just using it like 2 months. The power button spoilt. Then I fixed it myself and about 6 months later, the touchscreen's digitizer starts to spoilt and due me giving up that phone for an S4.
This is my second Galaxy S4 GE btw. The first one had a malfunctioning proximity sensor. Basically when you make a phone call holding a phone on a distance, the screen goes black immediately. I returned it to google for a replacement too.
