    Anyone else still planning on keeping their Note 4 awhile longer?

    Yes, I am extremely happy with my Note 4 after my modifications. (Rooted, ZeroLemon Battery, Battery friendly kernel) I've yet to move to an S8 based ROM just yet because I'm loving the speed and stability of the Note 7 one I'm on. It's a shame Android handles updates differently than iOS...

    Adguard makes this phone as smooth as an iPhone 7!

    My Note 4 for what it's worth is flying pretty damn good for its age. I'm pretty sure the S8 is flying high without the use of this app.

    Is your Note 4 the best phone ever?

    If I didn't root it and get the new software on it, no. But since I did, I'd have to say yes. Perfectly capable of even running the S8 Touchwiz. Such a testament to the power of the Note 4. Apple phones get worst with each update. My Note 4 has gotten BETTER, every single time. It's a shame it...

    N4 Battery Life - Is It A Big Risk?

    I've had my original battery conk out like that, but my 3 others have not. I have one replacement Samung OEM. One Anker, and now one Zerolemon. With a rooted phone and Zerolemon battery I'm can go almost a week on one charge with moderate use, and 2-3 days on heavier usage. I have no battery...

    Snapdragon 805 vs 835

    For day to day use CPU technology has come to a crawl. Stuff like opening apps, sending texts and web browsing you're most likely not going to see much of a difference. For gaming and coding, yes there will be a difference at play. At the end of the day I ask myself "How much faster can...

    Is this a normal SOT?

    5-6 hours is usually the sweet spot for stock batteries. Your battery is performing very well.

    New Life Into an Old Phone

    Never understood why Verizon is so locked down. When it comes to new development, a good portion of ROMS and features aren't available for Verizon. Hell, even Verizon on stock has less features than AT&T and T-Mobile! Horrible! Verizon is almost like the "Apple" of carriers. Hehe. I will add...

    New Life Into an Old Phone

    I'm what you call (or at least used to call) "trigger happy." Flashing this, flashing that and screwing something up in the process; however, I always had a backup handy. 3 minutes later, I would restore my backup and be back to normal. One of the glorious things about rooting is having that...

    New Life Into an Old Phone

    It can be; I own the N910V. They have a thread on XDA specifically for Verizon users for unlocking the Bootloader. I've done it twice. Once when I first messed around with this kind of stuff. Then again when I flashed a stock ROM by and factory reset... *long story*

    New Life Into an Old Phone

    Share your stories. Was it a disaster? Was it amazing? Do you not care enough to? For those interested in rooting, but don't know where to start. I will compile some links in a bit. I had mine rooted about two hours. From there, the world is vast I didn't even know what to do for a few...

    New Life Into an Old Phone

    So I've been running a custom ROM on my Note 4 for a few months. I hit a bumpy road the few weeks since I had no idea what I was doing at first, but I didn't let that stop me. I knew there was a whole other world out there for me and this Note 4. Samsung support was rather lackluster... who am...

    iPhone 7 better battery life than the S7?

    I consider Android battery reporting to be much more accurate. An iPhone lasts "forever" at 100% then quickly tapers off every percent after that. That is not accurate at all. I modified my Note 4 to get battery on par with the S7Edge and here are my most recent results for the day. 0.2% an...

    nougat update.

    Apparently some mid-range from 2014 is getting it. Mid... Range. https://www.google.com/amp/m.gsmarena.com/original_samsung_galaxy_a5_is_getting_android_70_nougat_update_in_january-amp-22319.php?client=ms-android-verizon That is BS. The Note 4 was one of the worst treated flagship I've ever...

    AT&T Note 5 - unacceptable battery life

    I have most of all services on. Location in High Accuracy Auto Brightness Wifi Some apps I use on a daily: Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, etc. Now, the trick is the amount of times these apps are programmed to "wake up" your phone. It's abnormal. Once I rooted, I...
