Anyone have the battery here? Just wondering how long it lasts and if there are any issues (like on the Note 4, there were some issues at launch were the percentage)?

I bought mine from Wind Mobile here in Ottawa. They will unlock after 90 days. I paid for mine with 750 +13% HST, so about 850 ish in total. I am existing customer, but get to pay 250 off for this phone in exchange for no increase in my monthly plan (IIRC one of the holiday plans). The...

Not so with the V10. Google Music did work, but many other apps did not use the DAC. They actually had to make a list of what apps work and what apps didn't with the DAC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/music-apps-using-dac-t3252596

If anyone is interested, here is the link for the V10: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/themes-apps/dac-fix-hi-fi-dac-everywhere-t3274457 Several people have said the V10 app works for the V20.

A quick check around XDA and apparently the V10 app fix works on the V20? http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/dac-fix-lg-v10-v20-t3484294 Do applications like Neutron, PlayerPro, etc, work with the DAC? What's the threshold (ex: Must be FLAC to activate or perhaps 320 kbps MP3/OGG/AAC...

I just saw a demo unit of the LG V20 and I'm planning to get this phone. Has anyone else noticed that the color temperature of this phone is way too blue? Namely, the color temperature is rather on the high side? Anyways, a quick check and it looks like this could be an issue...

Kijiji is your friend for the Note 4. I was able to buy a Note 4 that was only a year old last September for $300. I bet that if you look, they are probably even cheaper now. As for the Nexus 6P, the pros and cons have been discussed at length in this thread. One other con is that given the...

Currently I am using the Canadian variant of the Note, Sm-910W8 on Android 5.1.1, Dirty Unicorns 9.8, and the camera seems to be giving me issues, so I have been looking for a camera fix.

Are you referring to the camera fix made by gekkehenkie11? Can you post the link for the fix you downloaded as the gekkehenkie11 Mega Links did not work for me.

Just a quick question, is this the latest version of the reverse engineered Touchwiz camera? The Mega link is down.

This ROM is pretty solid I find. Everything is buttery smooth. 2 issues I have found: Has anyone had an issues with the camera with this ROM? My camera seems to freeze with 1 image and sometimes not even that. The app crashes and cannot take images, requiring a reboot. If it means anything...

Just wondering, what is the most durable case for the Note 4? Aesthetics, thickness, bulkiness, etc are not a concern - just looking at the most durable case. I'm currently using the Otterbox Defender, but I find the front frames tend to crack at times.

I know that the quality of the photos taken on AOSP cannot possibly be as good as the ones on Touchwiz based ROMs unless the camera application is ever successfully ported over somehow. Personally, I really hate Touchwiz and I like this phone because of this big beautiful screen. However...

This. If you have been reading through the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 threads, note that the pace of development has been extremely slow in those devices due to the lack of drivers. Samsung has made it a very difficult task indeed. The rumours are that the Galaxy S7 will be getting the Snapdragon...

I'm going to be getting the SM-910W8 as I live in Canada (decided to go with it after the disappointment of the Note 5 and because apparently, according to the carrier phone salesman I spoke with, the Note 5 has been having reception issues and they aren't sure if it's hardware or software)...

I've been looking around at the extended batteries for the Note 4. Which one do you consider the best? Right now I'm leaning towards the Hyperion 8000 mah version. The ZeroLemon does seem to have more capacity, but it does seem to have issues involving the battery reading because of the...

Quick question, does anyone know if the SM-910T (American T-Mobile version of Note 4) will work on Wind Mobile or is just the SM-910W8?

AOSP ROMs are off the table unless Samsung releases sources for Exynos. But for the smaller ROMs, it is iffy at best. Look at the S6 for example. Development is limited for such a flagship device. Take a look. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/development A couple of ROMs that...

The sad irony here is that Apple was the one who copied Samsung in releasing an iOS phablet. That being said, I wish that Samsung would be able to make an SOC as good as Apples A-series (outstanding single threaded performance and GPU), while releasing the needed documentation for an AOSP port...

Yeah I agree - it is the choice that will solve this problem. I just hope enough people choose not to buy this phone. The problem is that the phone's weaknesses (no removable battery, SD card, IR blaster, and glass back) aren't the things that can be fixed because they are hardware in nature...

I don't think we're going to see a phone with the Snapdragon 820 until 2016. I'd love to be proven wrong though. It just got announced. Best hope we have is a G4 Pro with the full Snapdragon 810 that doesn't overheat and with all we wanted in the Note (removable battery, SD card) and of course...

Overall, it looks like this phone doesn't seem to offer much compared to the Note 5 for enthusiasts. This seems to be a matter of form over function here: 3000 Mah battery, which will probably not last 1 day of heavy use - even less so if you are outside (you must turn up the screen...

Pretty much this. The Exynos will mean that custom ROMS are very hard to get done right on the S6. The sheer audience base though might make the developers try, but I don't think it's going to get any better than the previous Galaxy S phones. The only way that is going to change is if Samsung...

It is not. Is there a database somewhere of model numbers of the Note 4 filtered by the compatibility with bands? The 910T, 910F, and 910W8 seem to be compatible. Ideally I would like to have the Snapdragon 805 variants.

Thanks - fixed typo. But yeah I am thinking it will be fine as well.

I am looking to get a Snapdragon 805 based Note 4. The most common variant seems to be the SM-910F. Is this variant compatible with WInd Mobile in Canada (AWS /UMTS Band 4 - aka 1700/2100MHz)? At the moment, Wind does not seem to have an LTE service, so that is not a concern right now. Has...

Quick question, what is the model number for the Wind Mobile version of the Note 4? Is it very similar to the American T Mobile model number or is it different this time around? Or is it best to get an unlocked version to use on Wind? It doesn't look like a 64gb version will be available for...

I'd keep the Note if I were you. The Note 4 Snapdragon probably won't be as good in terms of support as the Nexus 6, but it will be more than good enough I'd guess, based on the volume of support the Note 3 Snapdragon variant got. Plus there's some indication that this Nexus 6, owing to its...

Has anyone had a lot of experience with the headphone audio quality of the Note 4 Snapdragon variants? How does it compare subjectively to the Note 2 (with the Wolfson DAC)? So far, it seems like: - S1 i9000; Wolfson, awesome sound - S2 and Note 1: Yamaha; awful quality sound - S3: Varied, with...

I think we've reached a point now where the marginal improvement is going to be lower for each generation. Moore's Law has ended. The cost per transistor for SOCs is lowest at 28nm. 20nm will mean higher costs per transistor. At the same time, the marginal performance gain per node will...

Is the T1 variant also heading for Canada as well? I presume that it would be on Wind Mobile, Mobicity, and Videotron.

Any idea what variants are working with Wind Mobile? I presume that it would be the same variant as the T-Mobile variant in the US, only with a different modem? That's the way it was for the Note 2, T-889 was the American variant on T-Mobile and the T-889V was the Canadian one. The LTE I...

I seem to be having issues as well. My case is not fitting the phone with the extended battery. Should I email them for a replacement? Otherwise, the battery itself is pretty solid. I just wish that there were higher capacity chargers out there. By any chance, do you know if they ever fixed...

A few questions since this thread seems dormant. How is this ROM right now with the October 7 build? ls AGNI (version 2.89 I presume) the best Kernel still to work with the ROM? If the battery life improves, I think that this would be the ROM. Either that or get a ZeroLemon.

How do the speakers compare to those of the Note 2? I'm discussing in terms of both loudness and audio quality. Are there distortions at maximum volume? Is the quality comparable to the top HTC phones? The Note 3 had some pretty lackluster speakers, and they were a downgrade compared to those...

If you are concerned, you could always buy a ZeroLemon battery. Here's the report on Note 4 screen. Remember display consumes the most energy of anything. http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note4_ShootOut_1.htm SOC should use the same power as other Snapdragon 805 powered devices (hint...

I'm in a similar boat to you on Wind Mobile. The Snapdragon version will probably be the one you want to get, as the Exynos versions have historically received very little development, owing largely to Samsung's lack of documentation. Note 3 Exynos I think did not even get CM, because of...

It looks like a substantial victory, sometimes >30% in some benchmarks for the Exynos. Does the Mali GPU similarly dominate over the new Adreno? My big concern is the development of the Exynos vs the Snapdragon; concerned that there maybe CyanogenMod and AOSP based ROMs might have issues with...

Bose is regarded as crap in the world of audiophiles. But there's no denying it. Samsung has regressed in this area. Realistically though, I think that something on par with the HTC one is not asking for too much.

Yeah it looks identical. Sigh - was hoping for an Exynos version.

Do you have any links to confirm this?

Google didn't seem to give any details about this and there does not seem to be any information about this one the web - is the S4 going to be with a Snapdragon or the Exynos chip? All that seems to be known is that the hardware will be identical, that it is the 16gb edition, and that it is...

The problem is that it only changes the launcher and not the touchwiz software under the hood. For that the only cure is an Aosp based rom, which Samsung is unwilling to help the devs make. Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

Re: [Info] Exynos Octa and why you need to stop the drama about the 8 cores We need benchmarks before we can get any conclusions. The big questions are How fast is the A7 and A15? How much power do they use? A7 stand by consumption is also important. How often is the A7 used? The A15...

Chances are that there will be another for Christmas. Sent from my SGH-T889V using xda premium

Basically right now this is the best stylus phone on the market hands down. Depending on your usage perhaps the best Android phone overall, to say nothing about how big an upgrade from the og note. Sent from my SGH-T889V using xda premium

In my case, price is very close, but yeah the screen is a big attractor.

I've been debating with myself which phone to get - I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person in this boat so I made this thread. My situation: Nexus IV: $360 here in Canada Note II: $400 here in Canada, although with a 3 year commitment ($40 a month for unlimited nationwide calling...

Any idea which version will be ending with with Wind Mobile and the other AWS carriers?

Any idea if the 2 share exactly the same pen? It's probable as tablets in many cases share parts with phones.
