    Living unrooted?

    Same boat. I'm within the 14 day return period on my Note4, so I've considered returning it, getting the TMobile version, etc. I've rooted my Android tablet, and past couple of iPhones have been jailbroken. When I do an honest assessment, I don't know that I've gained a benefit, other than...

    ART vs Dalvik on Note 4 - any differences?

    I switched to ART on my ATT Note 4 a couple of days ago. I'm liking it so far. Battery life seems improved, and the phone seems faster/less laggy. I also reduced animations to .5 as well, so maybe that is some of the "speed increase".

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 People can't hear me via speakerphone

    Re: People can't hear me via speakerphone Same issue. ATT Note 4, just over a week old. I don't think I used speakerphone before installing the Spigen Tough Armor case, but I don't know for sure. Been told "I'm sorry sir, I can't hear you", etc when using speakerphone.

    Negatives to Note 4

    I would love to! However, we're moving in a week and a half, in a much more rural area. ATT shows 4G LTE service all throughout the area surrounding the new home. T-Mobile coverage plan shows 2G, with a lot of "service partner" coverage as well. It would be less expensive, but probably also...

    Is it worth returning my ATT Note 4, to get a T-mobile version (for root capability)?

    Title sums it up. After years of iPhone ownership (since the 2G version), the wife and I jumped ship to Android last week. We went from our iPhone 4S (each) to S5 (her) and Note4 (me). I wasn't planning on necessarily upgrading, but after seeing her S5, the screen on my 4S felt like a...

    Hisense Sero 7 Pro - Unboxing pictures (no video)

    My Sero Pro is currently naked. I'm getting ready to order this case. Any recommendations on screen protectors? I've used Otterbox cases on my phones, which have come with built-in screen protectors, so I've never shopped screen protectors before. I imagine they're all about the same? I was...
