Hey!
A little about myself- the last two phones I've used have been the Note 3, followed by the Note 4. I felt the Note 3 was awesome and I found it super reliable for the year or so I used it. Paying attention to the specs of the Note 4 upon release, I felt that upgrading was unnecessary- however I then found myself switching carriers, and had the chance to trade in my Note 3 for a Note 4 for little cost. At this point I'm pretty sure I made a bad decision, as my Note 4 just "wore out" over the span of this last month (fully kicking the bucket today), after a year of use like so many others, in my head I imagine my Note 3 still going strong if I hadn't switched. >.>
Something interesting about the process of my Note 4 going bad- I was having freezes and reboots, particularly when waking my phone from the lock screen. Read something short on the internet about an app called "Wake Lock" fixing someones problem with their phone, installed the app and set it to "Partial wake lock" which kept the cpu from going fully idle while the phone is asleep, and it actually made the phone work pretty much flawlessly- bought me another month or so, at least. The phone would still not want to start up (had to pull battery and hold power down to discharge 15-20 times if the phone died) and would act funky until I got the app open and running. Can't figure out for the life of me how and why it worked in whatever was wrong with my phone.
Anyhow, I'm thinking the plan is going to be to buy an unlocked Note 3. I'm not generally in the position to spend too much on my cellphones, but I also do appreciate a well spec'd phablet. Any thoughts?
