Samsung Galaxy Note 4 User Thread

Has anyone heard if Samsung will sell a car charger with adaptive fast charging? There's nothing on their website yet. That seems to be where it would be nice for me. When I charge at home, it has all night to charge. No need for it to be quick.

You can now get a car charger online that is fast charge adaptable. Or you can get a car chargeer with wall charge units and use your home unit.

I actually just bought a quick charge 2.0 car charger this week on Amazon. It's made by Aukey. It was around $17 so the price was pretty good too.

Verizon sells a quick charge 2.0 house and car charger ($35 for each if I'm not mistaken). I have the house charger and can say it is a quick charger works fine with my note 4. Also dose anyone know of a rugged case like the defender with a belt clip that has a cover over the spen? I've almost lost my spen twice thanks to no cover over it on the defender. Thanks.

Is anyone having problems with GPS. My GPS stopped working completely it will not lock any satellite. I went back to NK2 performed a factory reset, upgraded to lollipop again, performed another factory reset and downloaded all my apps again. GPS still not working. Suggestion please...

 

A couple updates ago my GPS did something similar.  It is unusable driving, just keeps losing its lock and usually can't lock on again.  Standing still it works fine.  I read one post of someone on XDA saying the initial hardware rev have a bad/uncalibrated IMU, which would explain why mine doesn't work only while driving and fine when standing still..

Go into location settings and place it on GPS only for a couple of days the use can go back. I did the same thing you did and did not get it to work. I followed the steps above and now I don't have any problems with it. Hope this helps.

Well, new RDFs appeared. Up to OF9 apparently.

My wife's Note 4 had an update last night.  I'll see what it was upgrade to later today

[bitslizer]

Here was the update from my wife's note4 last week.

 

 

It did not fix her Bluetooth headset problem

[Galaxyguy]

That was the update that was released on 5/21/15. According to Sprint, it added factory reset protection and bug fixes, but they weren't specific as to what bugs. Hopefully the next update will fix her problem. The next update will likely be to 5.1.

Well it looks like 5.1.1 is starting to roll out in some international markets.

Wonder how much more testing Sprint will go through?

[Galaxyguy]

Looks like we're getting a minor update today. I'm downloading it now. OF5 is the latest version now.

Other than it rebooting more than usual during the install process, it seems fine.

Interesting that they are testing a newer version than what has been released.  5.1.1 come soon!

[Galaxyguy]

I've noticed in today's update my phone isn't bogging down like it did after the last update. I had to restart several times per day and keep clearing the cache. This seems to have fixed it. Not sure if anyone else was having that issue.

Just read that the note edge is getting 5.1 today. What's the chance of the note 4 soon?

I hope that it comes out soon. After the last update that came out 2 or 3 days ago all 3 of my Note 4 have been freezing up for a few second at a time. 

[ghostkilla1388]

I haven't had a problem (yet) on the last update. Don't know what 5.1 has in store for use since I haven't really been keeping up with tech and stuff. (Looking for a new job sucks)

Just hang in there. When things get tough just got to keep going I'm pretty sure you'll find a job that's adequate for you and your family if you got one.

Yeah life has its ups and downs

Just have to get through them

Note Edge gets 5.1 first :/

Just purchased a Note 4 to replace the wife's G2 she unceremoniously dumped into the toilet.

Should be here tomorrow and the SIM will arrive today.

I've never swapped out/installed a SIM card or activated a device online.

Any advice you seasoned veterans can pass along?

 

The Note 4 was purchased through Swappa.
