    When my Note 4 gets to 30% left it will die. Do I need a new battery?

    I agree, to an extent. Whether it is related to a particular batch or not, who knows. Additionally, I'm not a real power user, it generally sits in my desk during the day with limited/periodic use, then off and on use in the afternoon/evening. I just never had this problem with my S3, which I...

    When my Note 4 gets to 30% left it will die. Do I need a new battery?

    I rarely use the fast charger, except when I need a fast charge. Generally I'm using an old S4 or Blackberry USB adapter for charging, which is what I use when charging over night.

    When my Note 4 gets to 30% left it will die. Do I need a new battery?

    I started a thread on this issue a month or so ago, but I find it funny that all of the sudden this very similar issue (regarding percentage range where phones shut down) started popping up all around the same general time (roughly a year after the device was released).

    new 150mgb sprint update

    Same thing has been happening to me since I got the update about a month ago. I started a thread on my battery issue a few weeks ago and it got mixed reaction. Some were experiencing the exact same issues / symptoms on different carriers, others said that it is an issue with the battery itself...

    Note 4 Sudden Battery Drain

    There's apparently a new update from Sprint that addresses some battery issues. I haven't received it yet, but some people have > http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/614834-new-150mgb-sprint-update.html I contacted Sprint over the weekend and was informed that even though I...

    Note 4 not showing up in windows 10?

    My Note 4 connects fine, but to view it like a flash drive I had to unlock the phone first with my passcode. Without that, it wasn't available.

    Note 4 Sudden Battery Drain

    FYI - I rarely use the fast charger. Most of the time I use a charger/usb adaptor from an old BlackBerry or one from a Galaxy S4.

    Note 4 Sudden Battery Drain

    Update - I had one day (I forget which) where the battery drained down normally (which strangely was closer to 8pm when it hit the normal battery level where it dies), but all others had the same issue. Timing has been consistent (between 5-6pm, excluding the day mentioned) and yesterday the...

    Note 4 Sudden Battery Drain

    My Sprint Note 4 (running 5.1.1) has been working without issue for the past year, but a strange power/battery/something issue happened yesterday and today. Both days, around the same time (between 5:00-6:00pm) my phone has decided that it no longer has a charge and shuts off. Yesterday, the...

    Need help with gaming on the Note 4

    I get lag issues in the Simpsons Tapped Out when there are a bunch of the characters moving around on the screen (or maybe it's one part of the map, I haven't quite figured that out yet). This issue showed up immediately after upgrading to Lollipop, before that I never experienced the slowness /...

    Sprint Note 4 updating to Lollipop

    I've gotten notifications from Gmail and Outlook on the lockscreen, so it's not exclusive to Samsung branded/created apps.

    Sprint Note 4 updating to Lollipop

    I have a love / hate relationship with the lock screen notifications. I used to like the text message preview notifications on my S3, before an update removed those. Since that point, I've gotten used to the notifications on the top panel and have preferred that to having things on the lock...
