    Is the Note 8 going to be too big?

    Thanks for sharing, I hope they do too. I just wish HTC/Sony/Motorola were more competitive. Heck, Samsung uses Sony's sensors, but they had the fiasco that they just now fixed with distortion on their Experia XZ Premium. How can you release a phone to prod with such a big issue? I mean, on...

    Is the Note 8 going to be too big?

    Thanks. I'll give the S7 two things, very good low light and significantly better auto focus on the camera (and no limitation like 5 minutes on 4K video that the N4 has.) HOWEVER, the N4 was naturally detailed. I took some photos of bar codes/eye exam board, etc...and every shot from the N4, you...

    Is the Note 8 going to be too big?

    Is your Note 4 still working? Mine just recently failed with the mmc_read: failed message :( I bought two of them (AT&T) unlocked from Amazon to replace my failed one, but it turns out that Amazon, as a direct seller of the Note 4, was refurbished. In fact, the White N4 I ordered, Samsung...

    Bitterly disappointed with the S7 camera (vs. LG G4)

    One thing I've noticed is that the sharpen filter is either not applied or not applied to the extent that it is on individual photos. I tested some 4K video on beach, and extracted the individual p frames with ffmpeg, it's similar to my Note 4 (in terms of sharpness/pixel peeping, not exact, but...

    Bitterly disappointed with the S7 camera (vs. LG G4)

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but I completely agree. My Note 4 was the best all around device esp. the camera. I just bought the S7 since my Note 4 developed the mmc_read:failed error and I'm terribly dissappointed in the camera. I feel like I'm going back to my terrible Sony A57 camera again...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    Susan, the touchwiz "Theme" option is only available on the SG6, not the Note 4. Please confirm which phone you did this with.

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    Here's an email template for your complaint/request (so no more excuses!) Dear Sir/Madam: As a Samsung customer, and an owner of the Samsung Note 4, I am disappointed to know that this phone does not have the Theme Engine that the SG6 has. After spending $[INSERT PRICE OF PHONE] on this...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    I thought Verizon had some issues, but I guess they are solved/testing them now. Also, that was another reason I went with TMO just in case if I needed to. It's our phone/hardware, and we should be able to have admin/root access to it, like Windows/Linux. But for the users who can't, and the...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    Also, the only other current way of doing this right now is by rooting your phone and manually doing it. You can check youtube / xda developers on how-to.

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    There is a solution. Complain to Samsung. Tell them you want the SG6 Theme Engine on your Note 4. Officeofthepresident@sea.samsung.com or President@sta.samsung.com No change will happen unless critical mass is reached to have Samsung do this, and that will take all of us writing to Samsung...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    I do the same in the Play Store too -- but I remember with KitKat on my SG4, I had the option to turn off OTA auto-updating, but it looks like on Lollipop/Note 4, that option doesn't exist anymore, or at least, it's no longer obvious. I don't recall that the Note 4 w/Kit Kat had it or not, but...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    Synycalwon, I completely agree. I remember Kit Kat, where after it was installed on my SG4, half my apps stopped working because they lost the ability to write to the SD Card. If they made the O/S optional, and alerted you with a change log, like stating that some of your apps may not work after...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    I did too, but more specifically, I asked for the SG6 Theme Engine to be pushed to the Note 4 (which will give Note 4 owners much more customization ability)-- check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3MRU-SatY4 You'll see you can virtually apply any color you want (take a look at 2:18...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    Kelly, that's correct, they copied the orange material design color from Google's Messenger app --they copied the orange from user texting screen and applied that orange to also the user text listing screen. Regardless, it would still be better if we all had the option to change those colors. I...

    Ugly Orange Messages in Lollipop - How do you change it?

    tsells, that's very troubling. Why should the remedy be that Note 4 owners who do not like or want this change have to switch over to another one? Why should any owner be forced to do this? Note 4 owners didn't agree to the change, the change was forced without authorization. No different than a...
