Hey guys,
I'm interested in buying a new smartphone for my sister. The trick is that she's handicapped, so one major requirement is either a swipe to wake, or a front home button (like the Galaxy S series has).
I saw that the Galaxy Nexus has the s2w feature and am planning to buy that for her (and install a kernel that has support for PGM Nexus), but was wondering if the LG Nexus 4 might have this feature in the see-able feature (a few weeks from now)?
Thanks in advance
PGM Nexus developer would make it for Nexus 4 if he had the device so lets hope he gets one

Doesn't look like any sweep/swipe 2 wake kernel is out yet for the Nexus 4 though

I said the same thing when the s4 came out and just decided to wait for the Note 3.
I had the Note 2 and the s4 was just too small for my liking. Cant go back to "small" screens.
s5 will more than likely have more/better features than Note 3 (no s-pen or those features though) but if you're going to wait for the s5, why note wait a couple months and get the Note 4?
Its all down to preference and what'd you'd like out of your phone.
Do you want a note size device or S sized device? I can't see them making the S much bigger or it could canabilize Note sales. Also specs will be better on the S5.
I think you'll always be waiting.. because when the S5 come out the Note 4 will be around the corner and whatever else HTC or LG device that might come out
If size isn't a issue you have no problem get the Note 3..The s5 won't come out in January if you listening to that rumor

There is always something better right around the corner. Larger screen and device or smaller screen and device? That should answer your question.
Honestly, The Note 3 is damn near everything you Could want. It's excellent, I'd get it. It'll still be great this time next year.
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Every time you wait, there will always be something newer/better on the horizon. The St will not have the S-pen so if you want that you need something from the Note line... but as long as you're waiting, I'm sure there will be a Note 4 next year.

Note 3 is better with sophisticated software Jelly Bean 4.3.
Note 2 noproblem because still use Jelly Bean 4.1.2, My opinion was Jelly Bean 4.1.2 still the best.
I'm no expert but,
Note 3 n9000 apparently has no hardware knox counter, I don't need 4g as 3g is fast enough, I wont ned tovtake 4k videos ever, and the 4+4 core makes sense to me.
that's my opinion anyways.

Used note 2 for a whole year, never faced any issue. Moved to note 3 and loving it. No major issues.

Don't forget the camera on the 3.
Don't forget to use commas and periods, either.
Had Note 2, got the note 3. It's awsome. The screen is amazing. No problems with it.
I don't know of any problems on my Note 3.... Just beautiful

People brag about every little thing. In majority these issues doesn't exist
I have used the note 2 for a year and note 3 for a little over a month now. I can tell you with 100% certainty that note 3 is better in every possible way and is definitely worth the price increase from the note 2.

I wonder if anyone could port the note 3 lollipop rom onto the note 4,the note 3 looks to have all the features of the note 4 now and a lot more besides...all the stuff left off the note 4 that was on the note 3 would be there such as reader mode,page buddy,all the smart scroll stuff and the air view features,nicer music player and lots of other small touches such as animated video thumbnails ect...I like the body of the note 4 but the features of the the 4 are seriously lacking compared to the lollipop version of the note 3....
What's the use of porting a rom when it releases official within one month?
The useless request of the day...
Because it's a different rom the same features aren't on the note 4 lollipop there's more on the note 3 rom.

Why is it useless?if the note 3 lollipop has all the note 4 features and much more wouldn't it be better to have the better rom ?

Because many of the Note3 features were not useful for a large number of users, and second because that would make the ROM large and laggy. For the first time, Samsung made a lighter ROM with the Note4 that actually is quite snappy. I for one don't miss the Note3 ROMs at all. Not to mention that the porting part is not very easy to do (different platforms) and is worthless when Lollipop will come in January for Note4 anyway.
I've never had much lag with my note 3 and a phone like the note 4 should easily be able to handle the features they kept off but shouldn't people who actually want these features be given the option to have them and there is quite a few people who want them back plus if you don't don't want them nobody would be forcing you to install the rom anyway...
Who would be stupid enough to waste their time porting this to the note 4 when the note 4 version is due soon....

The note 4 version has less features than the note 3 lollipop version that's why...
Well, there's a time you should wait someone to do what you want, and there's time you must learn to do what you want.
This is the later, if no one gonna port note 3 rom for you, I think you should start to learn how to do it yourself. There are many tutorials in this site.
If you don't mind waiting til not known time, then just wait.
Just my opinion though.

Air view with fingers not just pen,quick glance,group play,Web page magnifier,headphone/page buddy,reader mode,voice controls of the music player and alarm,photo note,air gesture for music player,Animated video thumb nails plus more...if the note 3 and the s3 lollipop roms have these surely the note 4 should have it and the lag isn't an issue as the note 3 and s5 run lag free on lollipop I thought note 4 was an upgrade but not that much by the looks of things...
hey guys, i have a question, i am planning to get a new phone, the only real choices are the galaxy S6 and NOTE 4, i have a galaxy S4 right now, i like the S6 a lot, but i prefer something with a bigger screen and battery, the NOTE 4 on the other hand is cool too, but, it has the old TW, which i am already bored of, so the question is, will the NOTE 4 get the refreshed TW from the S6 soon or is it only after the NOTE 5 is released?? and what do you recommend?? THANKS
I think Note 4 will get Note 5 tw probably next year.Both phones fall in different category.You have to set your own priorities.Processor & gpu wise S6.Screen,Battery & S pen for Note 4

the thing is, because i am using an S4 right now the S6 doesnt feel much of an upgrade in terms of screen size, the NOTE 4 on the other hand feels really something special with that big screen....its a really tough one...in terms of performance the S6 has the edge but still its not that of a difference...basically the only reason to get the S6 is the new software....

Hi, I am glad you are looking into buying a new Samsung device! I think you should purchase the Galaxy S6. I own both devices, however the Galaxy S6 is simply just better. Even with a smaller battery pack, I was able to squeeze out 3-4 hrs more compared to the Galaxy Note 4. I used it to play some games, browse the web, and basic call functions. The S6 runs way faster compared to the Note 4 (device restart time, application launch time and application switching time). One last thing, S6 runs noticeably cooler than the Note 4 as well.
To answer your question, Samsung flagship devices will receive one TW version newer than the one that was released when the device was announced.

i do prefer bigger screen, but at the same time the S6 is faster in the day to day tasks, almost no lag, the problem with samsung phones is the updates, the NOTE 4 will get the S6 new ui next year, and lollipop for the NOTE 4 is not staple enough from what i heard, so its better to have something already optimized with lollipop unlike the NOTE 4....so if i get the NOTE 4 i will be stuck with KK for a while...and again its ui is not as fast/smooth as the S6....i have to make a sacrifice...

yes you can't have everything, but I guess you already know what you want to get... just enjoy it, and I know you want to upgrade after a few months when Note 5 or S7 arrives. Just like myself, look at my signature... I only had my S4 a few months back, and I bought a Note 3, then now a Note 4

the thing is i always use the phone for at least 18 months...so if i get an S6 or NOTE 4 there will be no going back for me....but from what i know you can use the device for two weeks then return it and get something else...so i am planning to get the S6 first...then in two weeks period i can change it to NOTE 4 if i feel that the screen is small....obviously the NOTE 5 will have the best of both worlds...but its coming only after 6-7 months...and thats a long time

I always die a little bit inside when I hear people moaning about performance. S6 is faster, yeah theoretically it is.. but practically it isn't. The software on the S6 is optimized better than the Note 4 lollipop update(Its just ****). And another thing is, multitasking works way better on a bigger screen than the S6. But its your choice. I think you're choosing wrong if you're going to judge on software.

the optimizations are the reason the S6 is faster...thats the trouble with samsung...once the phone is released they do not optimize the software for it...my S4 with lollipop is ****...lags..hangs...thats the trouble...the NOTE 4 will have the same issue...about the multitasking...i dont care that much...the only plus with the note 4 screen is the size...easier to read and better for watching movies....
No lag here on the Note 4

I was interested in the S6 but when I found out no microSD .... it was out of the picture.
I got the Note 4 on 4.4.4 and I have yet to see any lag .... if you think the Note 4 lags you must be very picky indeed.

believe me i am not the one that discovered the word "lag", many people said it lags, lets ignore the lag thing, i wanna ask you, do you prefer to have the latest and greatest UI or stick with the old one? the hall thing is, i have a galaxy S4 right now, and i have a rom that ported from the NOTE 4, so if i get the NOTE 4 i wont have the feeling of something new in terms of UI....the new TW on the S6 looks better than every other TW...its more refind, smooth animations...if you dont call it lag then you call it delay instead...its the same thing
Have u played with the S'Pen ? Did u like it? or was it just a novelty thing? If u really enjoyed using it, i think u should get the Note 4. the S6 screen is 5" approx. The Note4 is not far from 6". And true, the S6 is a beast to run, but it has to cuz its got the latest n greatest in it, tho u'll be paying a premium for it. Unlike the Note4, its a beast still, just a Yr behind the S6. Why not get the cheaper Note4, with its huge screen, then wait for the Note5? By then it will be King Phablet and be running true 64bit Lollipop optimized to the maxxx hehe. Naw, either is good
