So I have had my gn4 for a bit now my only complaint is RF performance. I've tried changing band priorities and it still doesn't perform that well. My gn2 is far superior. I don't understand how Samsung can neglect such an important piece of hardware on their flagship device? It baffles me to be honest. Other than that I couldn't be happier! Maybe an update will drop the that will help but who knows?

Now it will power cycle and get stuck on Spark screen, then when finally boots up after about 30 min it will say Process system has stopped working or timed out something like that.

Mine was only having the wake up issue. I'd be taking it in to a sprint repair center asap!

Phone will not "wake up" once screen is off. Not with power or home button. Have to pull battery. Noticed I had touchwiz crash and also android crash. SD card not reading either.

I had this happen with mine. Had to get it replaced. Apparently it's a known issue with some samsung devices.

This is a bit off for SLC

Well changed band priorities to 41 25 and 26 and I'm sticking to LTE better now so far today. Thanks jreuschl!

Those of you who want your MSL, you can install this utility, and it works even without root. (I did have to reboot after installing for it to read the MSL for some reason)

Worked fine no reboot needed! Thank you!

The GN4 should have a Cat 4 Modem allowing up to 2 aggregated streams. I saw somewhere where they were going to upgrade their network with 20x20 by the end of next year. The GN5 should have a Cat 6 modem for up to 5 streams. I would think it would be a simple OTA that will enable LTE Agg.

Sorry but it doesn't it's been discussed already and verified that the sprint versions cat 4 modem doesn't support CA.

In the service mode screen, I assume that CA - Disabled will eventually go enabled when carrier aggregation has been rolled out.

Nope the gn4 doesn't have the capable hardware.

Yeah, I know...ugh lol. The 56014 works just fine, 3G roaming and such, but when on 1x800, it shows that my phone is roaming. If I recall, Digi set it that way on purpose. I just need to find one that doesn't show roaming while on 1x800.

Once I got 513 I never looked back. It was awesome here in Utah. However I tried it in AZ in the spring and it was horrible. I'll have to start looking into these now as voice performance is sub par and I rarely get on 1x800 with current prl.

Ah that sucks I was going to try that one soon. I was awesome on my gn2

By using the method described a few pages back in this thread, with DFS.

I have 513 from digiblur that worked awesome on gn2 in this market? If you want to try it pm me your email.

After having the Note 4 for almost a month, and experiencing all 3 bands of LTE, Roaming, and Native service 1x and 1x800, here are a few things I notice:

 

- This phone likes to hang onto smoke signals when roaming. For instance, my drive to work consists of roaming on Verizon, then US Cellular. For some reason, it likes to hang onto US Cellular (makes sense PRL wise since US Cellular is on a higher priority than Verizon), however, the US Cellular signal is unusable. The signal strength is usually -105 dbm at this point, and the Ec/Io is between -20 and -30, way beyond the usable range. I have to cycle airplane mode to get it to switch to Verizon.

 

- Another issue I have is voice quality is worse on this device compared to my Note II. This is especially noticeable on 1x800. The signal will be all over the place, and I drop calls more often.

 

- The battery life is excellent, and a good step above my Note II.

 

Also, which PRL would be good to use for this device? I tried flashing a few, but it won't take any of the 65xxx PRL's. I'm currently using 56014, as that is the only one that the phone will accept. Any ideas?

 

Overall, it's an awesome device, but the annoyances with hanging on a unusable signal and terrible 1x800 call quality are degrading my experience with the device. Hopefully this can be corrected with later software updates.

How are you changing prls?

You guys should consider calling the short hand version of the Note 4 as the GN4. To me the Nexus 4 is the N4. And the N5 is definitely synonymous with the Nexus 5.

 

You may be able to get away with N4 nomenclature now because the Nexus 4 was not a very mainstream device and it wasn't ever on Sprint. But given the popularity of the Nexus 5, especially among S4GRU members, referring to the next Note 5 as the N5 will cause mass confusion. So you might as well make a course correction and call the Note 4 as the GN4.

 

Just a suggestion. But I will constantly blast people who refer ton the future Note 5 as the N5, because the precedent has already been set.

I have been [emoji6] even when tweeting sprint care and they know what device I'm referring to.

I keep having Google play services crash? Anyone else seeing this?

 

Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

So what is the play with FreedomPop? Is it attractive because they charge higher than retail rates for older phones and Marcelo sees a business opportunity there or what?

Market share?

Mike SCP has been crashing at least once a day on my note 4? I can't isolate the issue what can I do to help you figure it out or is there a known issue?

 

Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Sounds like Mike is going to have to chime in with this.

 

Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

nope, i've been running my logging for the past 3 weeks now and i never actually connect to whatever tower, assuming it is an actual signal, it is coming from so there is nothing in the log for those PCI.

When Mike released the update he mentions clearing your log. Did you follow those instructions? I'm just throwing out ideas as I have no real idea what would cause that unless there is in fact some sort of bug?

 

Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

while it could be i highly doubt it is, just for the simple fact that i've seen so many PCI that i don't have recorded there would be a ton of new sites around here.

Are they showing up in your SCP log?

Finally got a peak speed. B41 is just getting started on Milwaukee market.

Speed test needs bigger speedometer lol

Anyone else have or not have issues?

I was able to open them on my note4

 

Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

Yeah you may need to contact Samsung. That seems very strange though I'm no expert by any means. Have you looked on xda to see if there is anyone having similar issues?

 

Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

I'd agree with both of you the cellular performance is not been impressive so far. Hopefully it's a software issue that can be fixed/improved via update
