    Note 4 battery

    That makes sense although one would expect excessive heat generation with dendrite discharge... also noting that removing the battery and re-inserting brought (android reporting) the charge back up to 98%.

    Note 4 battery

    Not sure what you mean by 'ordinary battery'. Its the battery that came with the Note 4 and fast charger rated at 3220maH with the NFC antenna built in. Part # EB-BN910BBE. The problems only started occuring after about 10months.

    Why are most of my videos and photos showing up grey (Samsung Note 4)?

    I got mine working again.. i did a few things, so not sure which one fixed it. I tried formatting, however, seemed to do nothing with the microSD card (64Gb Sandisk.. which may be an issue in itself or related). If you use the file manager (MY Files) and browse into the SD card to DCIM->Camera...
