Samsung Galaxy Note 4 User Thread

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.

It's very easy. Just follow the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems. If you do, just call Sprint.

Really simply remove backing to the phone. Remove battery, Insert Sim card. Go to Sprint website and input numbers asked for. Wait 5 minutes, install battery and power on the device.

Just looking to confirm the correct SIM is in hand.

Part#:  760492013536

Description:  SIMCARD LTEGSM 3FF USIM REMOV

 

If this is the correct SIM, we just need the Note to arrive.

 

Reading the past few pages, it appears as if the 5.1.1 release is somewhat imminent.

Thanks again for the help.

I might be wrong but if I remember correctly sprint sent me the same one for my note 4. This sim card end up being for an iphone. I visited the local store and they gave me one from an S-6. The part number  on mine is SIMGLW206R.

only thing I might recommend is taking it BACK (unless you got a wicked discount or had to had it now) since the new note 5 is expected to be announced august 15, and out august 2x..you'll have a substantial drop in value depending on features.  The new note 5 is expected to be the highest quality/spec android device for now.  

 

Downsides might be lack of exchangeable battery and possibly galaxy 6 style.  Glass/metal back, etc..

Pretty solid points, and I appreciate your opinion on the matter.

We're a best-value type of family.  We pay cash for our devices, and they don't have to be the latest and greatest.  The $400+ we saved by purchasing the Note 4 (which does everything a Note 5 will do) goes to paying for travel, which IMO, is way more fun.

 

To each their own, it's all good!

Just call sprint and they will send you another SIM. If the person gives you a hassle ask to talk to the disconnection department or the international department. They will send you one for FREE.

Phone been acting crazy now screen freezes random reboot. Just started yesturday had phone since nov. Anybody have these problemson 5.0 lolpop.

 

I had to go back to Kitkat.  Lollipop was just too horrible in so many ways.  The complete lockups and app freezes, along with the overall sluggishness, were just too annoying.  Kitkat is like my phone was new, again, in more ways than one.  Even with all my apps loaded back on, it is lightyears faster and more responsive.  Even my GPS problem, where it would constantly turn off when I had Kitkat, originally, is gone.  And, battery life is definitely better.

Just noticed the Note 4 is no longer listed on Sprint's site.

 

That's pretty crazy.  They still sell the LG G2, G3, and the Galaxy S5, but no Note other than the Edge?!?  How strange.

I'm downloading it too. It's 615MB so it's fairly large.

Just read a post on xda. This is indeed 5.1.1 update. People are confirming upgrade to 5.1.1

The phone seems much more snappier than before. Will need to use it through out the day to have a valid opinion on the update. But so far so good.

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
