QUOTE(Reader2008 @ Nov 24 2014, 08:32 PM) Hi all, I wanna ask if the "Your connection is unstable" still occur in Note 4? (And I believe this only happen to all the Samsung phones right?) Hows the built material? Do you think the sides paint will come off easily like Note 2 / 3? I had used many Samsung phones ( first one was Galaxy S and various models of S series and all the Note series) and I had never encounter "Your connection is unstable" . Your assumption that this " only happen to all the Samsung phones right?" is definitely incorrect Also I had also never faced such error messages in all my other Android phones or tablets too It could be your area poor connectivity and has nothing to do with the phone

QUOTE(khainiz94 @ Nov 25 2014, 03:55 PM) Quite well even the sales of S5 disappointing. But all the US media said like it is the end for Samsung.  Samsung sales had dropped by 8% while the rest market share has gone up. They will be working hard on S6 to boost back their market share . China makes which are cheaper are a bigger threat to them.

QUOTE(Meepomop @ Nov 25 2014, 05:36 PM) Hi sifus. Is this considered as normal? Any tips on how to make my phone last longer? And how to disable bloatware? I considered lucky if I could get a straight 6hours of sot. Else only 4-5 hours. 40m on battery with 37min screen on time takes up to 10%. I already close my sync and location. Help Root phone n use Titanium Backup to uninstall or freeze all bloatware With xposed mod install cum greenify pro n intelli3g app you can reduce very much battery usage on standby Easily 6-7 hours SOT on this phone

QUOTE(angel-girl @ Nov 26 2014, 08:53 PM) I saw somewhr in the forum stated iphone on time is not SOT in android. iPhone doesn't has SOT measurement . It has what is called "battery usage" - this basically tells you how many hours you had used to date. Is actually a more accurate measure than SOT. In Android eg if you play music with the display off, SOT is not recorded if display is off but battery power is being consumed

QUOTE(thelightside @ Nov 27 2014, 11:22 AM) I have both Note4 and ip6+ Generally the ip6+ is simply an overpriced n over exaggerated phone. Its only major advantage over Note4 is its insanely greater battery life of approximately double that of Note4 Other minor advantages of ip6+ is its slightly better audio n sunlight viewing. Overall I prefer Note4 as daily phone The closed file system of ip6 is very restrictive n thus make it a bad business phone. Those who does lots of email w attachments n sharing of stuffs will simply hate it

I am happy with Note4 battery life averaging 6-7 hours SOT. It has a 2k display n way much better and about double that of previous Oppo Find 7. However ip6+ thrash it badly with double that in battery life.

QUOTE(ahtom82 @ Nov 27 2014, 04:03 PM) how to enable all apps to put in multiwindow? You need root and try using this : APP MultiWindows app . Had never tried this before as since my phone also rooted, I use Wannam Xposed as such options available there too Or google for such mods at forum XDA ( again you need root) This post has been edited by benny888: Nov 27 2014, 04:55 PM

QUOTE(bysquashy @ Nov 27 2014, 05:04 PM) Note 4 has the best battery life according to a test done by Tech Colu I strongly disagree with this test report. It doesn't even state under what conditions was the phones tested My personal experience with 80% on internet stuffs ( browsing, email, RSS, whatsapp, tweeter), ebooks n some YouTube videos Note 4 : SOT 6-7 hours Mate 7 : SOT 9-10 hours Ip6+ : usage 11-12 hours This post has been edited by benny888: Nov 27 2014, 05:52 PM

QUOTE(Meepomop @ Nov 27 2014, 06:02 PM) your ip6+ is straight out of the box or you have modded it? i wanted to root my n4 but afraid of voiding the warranty. and something about the samsung knox?  How to mod ip6 ? Is not android!! Out of box since day one till now battery life is excellent. Some users even reported 12-14 hours I need not do any tweaks. In standby mode , battery level literally doesn't drop at all. The only impressive stuff of ip6+ vs Note4 Those here who owns both ip6+ ( not ip6) n Note4 will confirm ip6+ battery is way much better than Note4 With similar usage I only need to charge my ip6+ once every 2+ days while Note4 I'd need to charge it every day This post has been edited by benny888: Nov 27 2014, 08:09 PM

QUOTE(Meepomop @ Nov 27 2014, 08:30 PM) really jealous with the 6+, super battery life. samsung came out with great feature like the s pen but with crappy battery life  I wont say Note 4 has crappy battery life - what do you expect from a phone with 2K display ? 6-7 hours SOT for me is already very good. My previous 2K display phone Find 7 only 3-3.5 hours SOT only But Note 4 personally I feel is a way much better and functional phone vs ip6+. Anyway ip6+ file restrictive system is just unsuitable for me. It is so troublesome to locate files, manage files on phone itself , emailing with multiple attachments and very poor sharing info from FB, RSS, Tweeter, Newsfeed. I had given it up and will pass it down to one of my family members for general usage This post has been edited by benny888: Nov 27 2014, 08:45 PM

QUOTE(angel-girl @ Nov 27 2014, 09:20 PM) Iphone6plus battery is awesome.even my z3 without any tweak can reach 5hours sot.but after a week use on note 4, i can only get 3.5 hours sot max.disabled all apps that can be disabled too. 3.5 hours SOT is bad. Do check your wakelocks - these are stuffs that continually works in background. Use Greenify Pro to hibernate all such apps that you do not need. If you are rooted , install xposed mod cum intelli3G - these will reduce very much battery drain with phone on standby

QUOTE(Calex @ Nov 28 2014, 01:29 AM) Among all the stock UI I've used I liked HTC's implementation best, looks really good with useful add-ons yet speedy. Current touchwiz UI is second. Huawei's Mate 7 does that too, apparently according to reviews its comparable in speed and accuracy to the iPhone's sensor. My finger print detection has always been bad. However it was a breeze on Mate7 ( just tap slightly) while erractic on ip6+ . No wonder HW CEO claim their finger print scanning is best among smartphones.
