    "Motorola Radios are the best"

    It might be the area you are in. I am in a very fringe area. Glad your Turbo is good for you and wish mine was good for me. I guess thats why you often see YMMV. BTW I liked my Droid Maxx so much I bought a second as back up. I wonder if it could be the back? I bought the 64GB with Ballistic back?

    "Motorola Radios are the best"

    To me looking at -dBm is useless. I live in a fringe area so I just use the phone. The one that does not drop calls wins. The best phones for not dropping calls for me in my area are the Verizon Droid Maxx and Note 4 on Verizon with Note 4 being the best. Turbo drops every call. Turbo has...

    "Motorola Radios are the best"

    Coming from a Droid Maxx that had excellent radios to the Turbo was a huge disappointment. I live in a fringe area the same fringe area that the Maxx was good in the turbo can not hold on to a call. Every call I get drops on the Turbo but the Maxx does good. I must say for me the Turbo has...

    Note 4 Sticking with touchwiz or nova?

    Ok how do I find the "Galaxy Apps" app I see on your home screen? I have side loaded a couple APKs supposedly of the "Galaxy Apps" app but they wont install or wont open if they install. I know there is a widget to the galaxy apps but I can't find the app like on your home screen. I am with...

    Note 4 Sticking with touchwiz or nova?

    Re: Note 4 How long did u go b4 replacing touchwiz I don't replace Touchwiz but instantly set up Nova Prime. I do on occasion switch back and forth but like Nova better because I can have over lapping widgets, widget padding or not, widgets in back or in front, less or no lag and just more...

    any very similar shape earpods with remote control for note 4???!!

    I do also but thats not what the OP asked about. I use LG Electronics Tone+ HBS-730s and they work perfect with all the Android phones I have had. Never use wired headsets anymore since trying the LG Tones.

    How low do you go?

    To answer the question I would just let it run out but that doesn't happen because when at my desk it rests in a Tylt view wireless charger and at night it rests in a wireless charger. All low battery notifications are turned off. When on the road I just pop in a spare battery each night or...

    Can I take the sim out of my Maxx and put it in the turbo?

    I'm not sure thats correct. I have bought my last two Samsung phones from Samsung and two out of three Motorola phones from Motorola and Verizon treats them all the same. As long as its a Verizon branded phone it does not have to come from Verizon. I know the Play Store, Samsung, Motorola...

    Weak Signal (Verizon)

    Re: Weak Signal I live in a very fringe area most phones and carriers drop calls and Verizon is the only carrier to have. I don't look at the signal strength readings as they don't matter to me. On the N4 the calls don't drop and are very clear web pages load nicely I do see in the status bar...

    Nova vs. Touchwiz

    I use Nova Prime and on my Droid Turbo I can use the stock widgets that come with the Turbo...so I would assume that the Nova Programers have thought of this and Samsung is blocking it. I say Samsung is blocking it because I use the same carrier on both phones (Turbo and N4) so if Verizon was...

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Is anyone else experiencing horrible GPS?

    Re: Is anyone else experiencing horrible GPS? When I am out using My Tracks GPS works just as well on GPS only as the high accuracy setting. I really don't think its a network issues. Wish I could tell you what issue it is.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Is anyone else experiencing horrible GPS?

    I use mine ever day with My Tracks for walking and it is as good or better as any phone I have had. Overall (phone wifi gps data) reception is the best of any phone I have had. I would exchange it.

    Did the S View case break my screen?

    I also have the N 4 S-view cover and I just can't see how it could damage a N4. I don't use it because I have decided to go without a case.
