Adding VoLTE to a handset is not quite as simple as a willy nilly firmware update.  Yes, from a technical standpoint, a firmware update is all that is needed, since recent Qualcomm chipsets readily su

Sheesh, not this again.  Can we put the flagellation over SVLTE to bed once and for all?  Here are the issues: Single RF path was not as much of a "business decision" as it was an engineering choice.

I really want lollipop, coming from a Nexus 5 this Note 4 is a bit on the slow side. [emoji14]

Really I thought my note2 was faster than the nexus 5? This note 4 is even faster? [emoji15]

Can someone explain what these RDFs are? I have never been able to view them.

The RDF file extension is also associated with the Research Document information Format and the Resource Description Framework file format (related to XML and metadata) you can Google it if you want more detail. But this is it in a nutshell.

RDFs are, essentially, a description of what the final product will look like.  Each time a new build is created for testing they create a new RDF.  If you look through the various RDF versions you'll likely notice little to no difference between them - so they really don't give you much info about what changes are made - just what the final product will look like.   What the new RDFs DO do is let us know that Sprint and/or Samsung are actively updating/testing builds which, hopefully, means we'll get an update sooner than later.

 

Internet Explorer is the best way to view the RDFs.  It has the ability to decode the RDF and display it in a table for easier viewing.

 

Hope that helps!

Interestingly, while looking through the RDFs, I noticed that the JVMVersion is listed as Dalvik and not ART.  Not really sure what to make of this as I thought 5.x was fully implementing ART?

lol, very true.  Though, I asked about it on XDA and their explanation was that it shipped with Dalvik as default to cut down on app issues and end user confusion.  I guess you just switch the runtime later if you wish. 

 

Then again, who knows =p

You couldn't even say the Nexus 6 destroys the Note 4.  Nexus 6 vs Note 4 is open for debate but...

 

And actually as it stands right now until the texting issues etc are solved on the Nexus 6 I'm glad I have the N 4 :)

The Note 4 is laggy with touchwiz its not nearly as fast and smooth as my Nexus 5 was. Pure performance is better on the Note 4 obviously but user experience is faster and smoother on the Nexus 5. Should have clarified. [emoji14]

Only because of stock Android which is boring. I got rid of my Nexus 5 because of the size and the lack of external memory. My user experience between the two was the same. In the end, the Note 4 is better with its functionality and usability.

I don't mind stock Android, really wish Samsung would get rid of touchwiz or at least bring it as close to stock performance wise.

I TouchWiz only when I get a bit careless in the bathroom.  But then I just wash my hands.

There is other launchers IE nova prime etc, or you can root and do a custom rom. It could be worse, like iOS worse ;)

Sorry it's been awhile since I have actually touched a different launcher, being on my Nexus 5 or Note 4. If I switch to say Nova which I used to use on my S3 will the performance improve? :wacko: /stupidmoment

 

Well I forgot the Google Now launcher was available, just installed it and wow what a difference. :D

Some say yes some say no. I think it's more mental than anything. I'm running a custom rom so I couldn't tell you from personal experience. I can say I had a n5 and hated it. I wasn't impressed at all.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
