    5.0.1 Update Problems

    So, I removed my SD Card and no longer use it. I've experienced a very notable performance increase. I also deleted a lot of 3rd party apps, the later being Textra. Although I deleted it last night, I unplugged around 6:30am and its 9:57pm and I'm at 28% battery. That's with above average use...

    Battery flat instantly from 20+%

    I had the same problem...from 30% to dead. I didn't notice any bulge and Verizon swore the battery was OK. I just purchased an Anker battery and now the phone works just as well as when I first purchased it! Money well spent... Only costs $12 for one or #25 for two with a wall charger. Posted...

    Battery Issues

    That's what I'm afraid of. I received a new GN4 two days ago and still have the same issue (using the same battery from my 1st GN4). As soon as my new batteries arrive, I'll update this post with my findings. I will add after turning off Fast Charging I've seen a noticeable difference in my...

    Battery Issues

    I have been using Fast Charging feature since I purchased the phone (Nov.'04). Good call...I'll turn it off and see how that effects the phone. I ordered two new battery with the wall charger, so hopefully that works as a back up. I'm to turn going fast charging off and see how that impacts the...

    Battery Issues

    That's comforting to know...I'd hate to get rid of the Note series behind a faulty update. A new battery it is then! Posted via the Android Central App

    Battery Issues

    Thanx, I'll give it a try. I've had this phone for about 6 months and it would really suck if the battery cell (s) went bad that soon. Posted via the Android Central App

    Battery Issues

    Yepper, it started happening after the upgrade to 5.0. Thank for your opinion lol...I'm actually leaning towards the iPhone myself. This is my 2nd GN4 that's had this problem. It'll be sad to depart from Android, but a mobile phone should be reliable. I know iPhone's have their issues too lol...

    Battery Issues

    You're absolutely correct, they made one of the best phones unreliable! It's unfortunate...I'm going to try to get a different phone on Monday. Something other than a Note 4. I rarely have LTE as well. Calls drop left and rught. It really sucks, but I need my phone to simply work and this one...

    Battery Issues

    Greeting my GN4 Familia! I've recently started experiencing issues with my phone and am seeking some help. As of late, when my phone discharges to about 30% it shuts down as if the battery is dead. Once I power it back on, the battery reads 0% and shuts down again. As soon as I plug the charger...

    Hangouts

    I use Hangouts for SMS on my Note 4. I've bounced around to a few other apps and always come back to this one. I like the user interface and the ability to see the contact thumbnails for group messages in the conversation view. I also like that I can mute a group message if I do not want to hear...

    Device Encryption Anyone?

    So I encrypted my phone and there's no noticeable difference. The only way to unlock your phone is by entering a six digit code. Nothing else works. You can encrypt your SD Card, but that's an action yoire gicen afterward your phone is encrypted. I do not believe your emails get encrypted as...

    Device Encryption Anyone?

    Thanx B. Diddy! I'm just curious if it's a necessary evil?! I'm not really a fan of password, pin, or pattern locks so I'll probably forgo the encryption. Posted via the Android Central App

    Device Encryption Anyone?

    I've been thinking about encrypting my device. I'm not sure it's really necessary, but it I wanted to solicit feedback and get some users opinion. Have any of you awesome Note 4 Users encrypted your phones? Has you noticed a difference in performance? Has it impeded your functional use? Thanx...
