Messaging app settings has checkboxes for roaming retrieve, auto-retrieve. Perhaps look at those. I had similar issues on older Android, including a Samsung. In particular I couldn't get mms messages reliably, usually coming from an iphone. My mobile provider at the time was Credo mobile (...

No, Amazon. We'll see.

Many photos disappeared from mms messages after restore on Note 4. I was using Carbonite's SMS Backup and Restore. Some photos are there, some not. 1. Suggestions on good PC app (Windows) to review the backup files? They are XML. I might try a messaging app for PC if it will let me see photos...

I'm on my second Note 4 from T-mobile. I had previous one 4-5 months. It was unsteady from the beginning. Bootlooped sometimes. After getting a new battery from Frye's (unidentifiable brand), it was OK for a while. Occasionally very slow. Then burst of bootlooping, freezing, overheating...

Great information. Thanks. I didn't know any of that. The replacement is for $5.85; the description says "Original Samsung Galaxy Note 4 black Touch Stylus S Pen Replacement new" which may not be accurate, I suppose, depending on the seller. It had numerous positive reviews. The next price up...

My 2nd Note 4, obtained from t-mobile through JUMP. Stylus is the same from the previous phone. It still doesn't work. I can't draw in S Note. Cannot capture screen... the button makes that menu come up but that's it. Verified same problems without my protective case. I have ordered $5 "oem...

I had major reliability issues with a PNY high speed SD on Note 4. Switching to Samsung branded SD resolved it.

what were the symptoms? on mine I can't select and S note app won't draw.

Replacement Note 4 good so far. I had realized the stylus which came with the bad Note 4 never seemed to work right and it's still messed up. I will post separately ...

status: 1. moved podcast addict files to SD card using it's feature to do so. that cleared up 10+ gigs of space from internal storage 2. T-mobile support cleared the phone cache remotely 3. I cleared cache partition and rebooted 4. tried wake lock partial and full result: random rebooting...

I've been pondering exactly the same lately. Had liked Samsung due to previous good experiences, now wondering if they have quality issues for whatever reason. We'll see how long my TV lasts (just used for PC display). I'm here today because my Note 4 has rebooted at least 5 times since last...

MTP + ADB + reboot phone worked. However, my original data cable doesn't work anymore, so I had to hunt around and eventually one worked. I got some failures during transfer, but successfully dealt with moving off all my photos and videos.

So, I think a recent Samsung update from T-Mobile has done in my phone on this matter. I will see if MTP + ADB will work, as other folks have suggested. Is it possible it was on before, and the update just disabled it? Posting below info in case it is meaningful. Kernel version...

thanks good tip it could brick. he has to put ice near the camera to keep it running. does the google app backup feature work well on Android 5? main thing he is worried about is files from autodesk sketchbook.

when I say "the app" I mean the Android Central app. not sure if that was clear :-) !
