Thanks

Everything is great. Battery, screen, speed, stability, call quality, build, camera, speaker, s-pen, etc. What else do you want to know?

Does it overheats like the S2?Is there any lag?

No and no for me.

I really love this phone. Note is the best smartphone I ever use, the second best of mobile phone I ever use.
fast, massive screen, great resolution, nice camera quality, relatively good battery life against other android devices, s-pen is more than awesome.
OK we all know the goodies , let talk about some based.
1. Battery still can be much better but it's not notes fault. It's due to the limitation of current techology.
2. Samsung firmware could be better, now it's laggy and I am sure they are working their way. For now you can use custom rom to solve it. Checkrom is one of the best now.
3. The volume rocker and power button can place on a better place which you won't accidently trigger them.
4. If the battery allows. Still prefer rgb over pentile but it's not a big issue

Is Note pocketable?

After using 2 months am worried about the color issues. The Black is not Black .... and i can see some dark black patches(Only in Black Color) on screen in night.

Yes, even with skinny Jeans, it will go in but I'm afraid it breaks. But it's thin and feels thin.

It lags a lot noticeable through Samsung TouchWiz Launcher, or any other launchers.
I have more than one Android Tablets and 1 other Android phone, and it doesn't lags like the Note.
However, every others operations are smooth and quick.

I have an s2 that I can compare side to side with the GNote and compared to to the s2 there is some lag but it's fast enough.
If you choose to enable the power saving feature on the GNote it will lag even more.
There is also a delay in waking up the phone that the s2 does not have.That is quite irritating sometimes.
I have no overheating problems with mine.

I didn't read the thread but I will note a few of my findings.
I love the note and seems like its a complete smartphone for my needs. The screen is great and with rocket rom v17, its super fast and bug free.
Now the bad side of the note.
It gets extremely hot in gps mode when connected to lighter power source. Too hot to continue connected to car power. hardware damage could occur.
I took care of my note but it seems I am one of the unlucky ones to have damaged hardware on my phone. It seems the note also suffers from same symptoms as some sgs2 owners. after a month's usage my note began to act funny. I have had rocket rom v10 on it. I was very happy with the performance then all of the sudden, note started to get into car mode automatically and asking me to give verbal commands. some apps would open up or close automatically. then all of the sudden when i disconnected my note from power source it seemed the note didn't recognize the usb disconnection and continued thinking it was still connected to power cord. Then it would not respond to power button to turn on the note. I would have to connect my note to power source in order to have it turned on. I tried cleaning the usb port contacts, even pushed them down. it helped for a few minutes and gave me the impression the note was fixed but the problem would continue to pop up. Now I am unable to use my note as I can't get it out of charging mode. It is always in charging mode and drains the battery and acts funny. I am sure the usb port is damaged and my note has to be sent back for repairs. this is after just one month's usage.
oh yeah,. I have done all to fix the problem. I have changed the roms, even installed stock rom through odin, changed kernals and even discharged and recharged the phone a few times. All to no avail. I am totally bummed as I am sure my phone company will reject my phone and make up an excuse that it has internal water damage. I will try to restore my phone to original rom and sent it in for warranty repair.

Just got the ATT galaxy tab 8.9 today. There is some heat in the top back side of the front camera when I use the tablet. Has anyone noticed that? Is tegra 2 model much cooler than the snapdragon version?

It heats up too when its charging or pretty much when you use the tablet. I get the IPC communication error that pops up every so often.
Does anyone have any suggestion of how to fix that error?

T-Mobile Flex vs VZW Note2.. Its what I'm coming from

Despite the fact I'm posting from my note2, I do own the Flex. I've had it for less than 24 hours, and I have my first impressions.
On my first charge, I experienced sub-par battery life compared to my Note2 on Verizon running Beans22 which is underclocked in both CPU and GPU.
I have switched from Verizon to T-Mobile and I get very similar reception on both phones (LTE) at home, and HSPA+/3g at work. Must be same cell tower for both carriers. I live and work in Ashburn VA, and I'm positive of the towers location.
I use my phone a lot for gaming, particularly Heroes of Order and Chaos. I don't think the Flex can handle that game as well as Note2 in regard to battery life. Performance is about the same...
Network lag on Tmo is worse than VZW, but the bandwidth on TMO is nucking futs. 30mbps TMO vs 12mbps VZW. I don't know what's up with the lag.
Screens. I have to give it to the Note2 for quality, but I love the size of the Flex's screen. I like the curved appearance. That's unique and worth the trade off in quality.
Quality is weird here. Resolution is the same, it its the grainyness I'm not liking, and it noticeable in solid textures such as the drop down menu. Brightness.. I haven't tested outdoor yet. That's a true test for me, but I will have to get to it later.
I love what LG has done with the interface. Its like having a custom ROM without the problems associated with a custom ROM. Add root, new battery icon, and remove ads, and I'm set. I have yet to do these just yet, but I will, and functionality will be that of my rooted Note2. Won't have the ability to under and over clock as I do with my Note's unlocked bootloader, but oh well.
Camera. Note2 all the way. There are tons more features, and low light quality on the Note blows away the Flex. I'm not happy with the Flex's camera actually, and it may be a determining factor in returning this device and getting the Note3. I haven't tried video as I don't shot much video in real life.
Button placement. Man that's just something you have to adapt to I suppose. I'm still fumbling around with the power button so I understand up using the knock function a lot, but sometimes it just doesn't work. That's kind of annoying. Sometimes I have to knock several times to get it to work. sometimes it works the first time, and when it does there is a lag.
Note2 has capacitive back and menu buttons along with a physical power button. I really love that because at all times you maximize your screen real estate because its not being consumed by the on screen buttons. If you subtract the on screen menu button real estate from the Flex and compare that screen size with the Note2, they are about the same in size, the Flex being a bit wider.
Note3 for me maybe?
Any questions, let me know I will be happy to answer them.
Cheers!

I'm also coming from the note 2 but I disagree with the battery life statement. I'm getting like 10 hours screen time with this when I would only get like 4 or 5 from the note. This phone is a beast.
Otherwise everything else I agree with. Display, picture, sound, etc were all better on the note, albeit by not a whole lot.
Overall I'm satisfied with the phone. The aesthetics are nice, screen size is exactly what I wanted, battery life is phenomenal and it's super fast.
Sent from my LG-D959 using xda app-developers app

You can hide the buttons on your lg flex without root. Battery life is worlds better on the flex even better than the note 3. Besides display i seen nothing on Samsung that's better imo. I did like my note 3 for pics but haven't really checked the flex yet. I really like my flex better than the note 3 or 2. Out would've been far superior if the flex would've had the 1080p display. Can't wait till second generation of the flex.
Funny thing is i liked my note 2 Better than i do my note 3. But at the same time i like the flex better than both. Glad to have had all three. There are all great devices,

Yea, they are all great, and great for different reasons.
Maybe my first charge was not true to what consecutive charges will be. I'm on my second charge, and it seems okay. Nothing I'd write home about.
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

is it true that when you crank the brightness up over 50, any "graininess" on the screen is pretty much gone?
surprised to hear the camera isnt up to par with the note 2..
thanks

Yes, its true, the brighter you set the display, the less you see the grain. Also being in a bright environment helps too such as outdoors or in a well lit room.

Yea its true and i dont know if its just me getting use to it or that the phone has broken in but screen is looking better than initially. I remeber there was some device that the screen need to get some use so they can get broken in or something like that.

Dude, I'm totally thinking the same thing. Its not that I don't notice it, I simply can't find the grainyness even if I look for it. I'm mean its there... But not like I remember it
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

sometimes, when a thought is planted in your mind, you go out of your way to look for things..
after a day or 2, when you just chilllax and use it as normal, you dont see what you were obsessed with b4
or, its actually possible after a few days, the display "Breaks in" somewhat..sort of like not calibrating a TV until you have at least 100 hours or more on it...

You talked about possibly going to the Note 3, which I have. What would be the major difference that works sway you to the Note 3. I enjoy it and like having the SD card functionality because all my music is on there and I also use it to take notes a basketball coach.

Also coming from a Note 2. Unless they are side by side i feel the G Flex is smaller, i think its because the curve and small bessel. So if this was a flat 6 inch it would probably look and feel bigger. I forget its in my front picked. Lol. Enjoying it.

Thanks for the thread guys. I've got a note 2, but getting bored (it's been a year in one phone which is very new to me). Don't really want a note 3 because it's basically a slightly bigger version of what I have. I'm really thinking about the flex. Glad to see some reviews of actual owners who have had both.

In not a big Touchwiz fan either. It just provides me the opportunity to do different things with the stylus and multitasking. I do think the curve firm factor could be useful.

I find the multitasking on the lg UI more intuitive than Touch Wiz. I did use my stylus on my note2 only for taking notes, but the Flex had a wonderful note app that I like more, and I use my fingernail, and the screen has no issue detecting my fingernail

[Q] [Bugs and more bugs] Is it safe to buy it now?

Hello guys,
I've been reading a lot of threads about some issues regarding the new Moto G in this forum and in Motorola's forum.
These issues generally are:
Touch screen not responsive
Scrolling not responsive
Notification sound with delay in sleep mode
Music playing through earphones stutters when in sleep mode
Aggressive app closing due to RAM issues
I know that it is more common to find threads about complaints and issues than threads about good experiences and approval.
So I would like to know: did you get the new Moto G and had any of these issues?
Edit: I would like to add that I did not follow the launch of the old Moto G, so I don't know if there were similar issues before and they were patched afterwards.
Thanks for the feedback!

I had a Nexus 4 and I must say the New Moto G is a massive upgrade in terms of battery. As for the screen, it is a little less sharp, but nothing noticeable unless compared side to side. I find the responsiveness is the same, maybe a little less responsive, still, nothing noticeable. Scrolling is fine.
I have noticed however when streaming songs from SoundCloud / HTML5 grooveshark, there is a weird stutter. Music starts, stops for 2 or so seconds and back again. However once I pause for around 3 seconds it plays flawlessly.
I have not noticed a notification sound display in sleep mode, however, though maybe because my phone's on silent mostly .
As to the app closing I have noticed, compared to the N4, that it shuts down more apps. The N4 had 2GB ram anyways.. I would suggest using MinFree apps(Play Store, requires root) if the closing of background apps bothers you.
In conclusion, this phone would be a definite upgrade from a 2/3 year old smartphone. Fast, no lag, and a few minor problems. Totally in love with this phone
TL;DR: Buy it, for the price it is most definitely worth it, without a doubt.

I see you have the same story as I have!
I owned the N4 for 10 months and never dropped it. The first time it fell off my pocket the screen was shattered and the touch screen stopped working.
The replacement is over US$150,00 where I live in, and it's a generic LCD/digitizer that probably is less responsive and the colors/contrast are worse than the original one.
But thanks for your feedback!

Since you have had the Moto G 2014 for a while now, would you still recommend the Moto G over buying a refurbished Nexus 4? Thank you in advance. I'm trying to make up my mind between the 2. I can get a Nexus 4 factory refurbished for $149 from Expansys.

Yes, and then- maybe no. It depends on what sort of user you are.. For me, when I had the Nexus 4, battery was the main concern. In terms of such, the New Moto G is much better. I was sceptical about the 5" screen but I've got so used to it now that I prefer it tenfold over the N4. Now about the ram, once again, if you're a power user go for the N4. Almost Identical specs yes, but the 1GB ram in my opinion makes a difference. I use Razer comms for VoIP when I game(on PC or android) and when I play games on android + Razer, due to low ram Razer stops.. There's a slight lag here and there, almost non existent but sometimes you may come home to an empty-home screen, and find yourself waiting for a few seconds before they appear again. The Camera/Speakers are a MAJOR upgrade, on par to the N5. If you're an avid after market ROM flasher, the Nexus 4 definitely, but I guess the New Moto G will catch up soon.
TL;DR I definitely say go for the New Moto G, rather than a 2 year old Nexus 4. Also, guaranteed Android 5.0!
PS. OTG too!

I can tell you mine is flawless, I have it set to use Device Only meaning it only uses GPS/GLONASS lock on is fast and accurate every time.
I don't have any touch screen issues as others have described however I do have the notifications delay, music occasionally stuttering and even though the device does have aggressive RAM management (it starts closing apps when you have 300MB of free RAM left) I keep a very lean device and don't multitask much so it doesn't really affect me, my tablet only has 1GB of RAM the same and even when using that intensively it doesn't close apps the same way as the phone does.

@jay2the1, I wonder if the notification delay will be fixed either with an update or a custom rom? I hope mine doesn't have any touchscreen issues.

Motorola is currently investigating it I suspect they can fix it with an update but we need to wait until they investigate further, there is no notification delay while the phone is charging or when you are playing music and it only affects 'data' notifications like WhatsApp and email, that's why I think they can fix it as it seems to be something being too aggressive when the device is sleeping.

What device did you upgrade from and how's your experience with the Note 4?

Tell us if the Note 4 is all you thought it would be?

Like I said before, these are all from within a year lol.... I switched from an iphone last November 2013
First was a Xperia Z1 (battery life was eh), Galaxy S4, HTC One M7, Galaxy S5 (only thing I miss is water resistance), LG G3 (love this phone but screen was not that great and very dim in the daytime) and now to my love of my life note 4! BEAUTIFUL! only thing I don't like is no option for soft keys (menu key has LAG and I don't like the Back button on the right side.

Galaxy S4. Experience has been underwhelming. Wonky GPS (loses the signal if phone is resting on my leg in the car), some apps occasionally think there is no wifi connection when there is (and being used by other apps). Aesthetically, it's a bit boxy for my taste. ART runtime isn't ready for actual use (causes the system to "update" 66 apps when I boot, extending boot time to about 5 mins, every time).

I came from a Galaxy S3 and so far I'm really loving my new device. I was really close to getting the S5 but a few days/weeks after the S5 announcement, I started to read about the Note 4. It was a loooong wait but well worth it. The screen is amazing and just the size alone will make surfing the web and watching videos a lot more enjoyable.
I've played with the S-Pen and really enjoy it, which brings me to my question. I can't seem to figure out how to use the s-pen like a mouse when selecting text. I know there is an slightly different method using Air Command for this type of thing but I'm looking for the mouse-like text selecting. I thought that all I had to do was hold the button on the s-pen then drag and slide to select but it's not working for me. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

My wife bought a 6+ when it was released. I've used it some.

From the original Galaxy ---through--> Galaxy S4 -> Note...skipped the S5 because I had the Note II -> Note III -> Now .....NOTE 4
Extremely happy with it. Can't gripe about much but here are some things I really wish they kept on or added*:
USB 3.0
Tempreture Sensor
Humidity Sensor
Speaker on the bottom and not on the back like it is now on the Note 4
4GB of RAM*
Here are the things I'm very grateful for:
The best screen EVER to date
Faster CPU
Faster GPU
METAL!
Better Camera/Sensor
Slightly bigger battery
Relocation of the SIM and microSD slot! No longer have to remove battery like you did on the Note 3
Redesigned rear cover (MUCH better, no more fake stitching)
Curved 2.5D screen
Heart Rate/O2 Sensor
UV Sensor....ehhh...either way pretty cool, but I'd rather have a TEMP and HUMIDITY sensor instead
METAL!
Did I say METAL?!
Finally what we've all been waiting for. A phone that feels like a million bucks in your hand.

My wife bought a 6+ when it was released. I've used it some.

I didn't hate it. I'm not an iPhone guy, but my wife loves it. She hated her Android phones, so she's happy. That's good for me.

I agree with you on that. My wife loves her iPhone as well.

The latest device I came from is the LG G3. Before that from last year, I went through the Xperia Z, HTC One M7, LG G2, Xperia Z1, before settling on Nexus 5.
I love the Note so far, first note I've tried. One thing I don't like is the lag from pressing the recents button, but I can live with it. Also not fond of the gap on the right side as I constantly have to blow the dust out, but again I can live with it. All in all best phone I've used so far and touchwiz is not as bad as it was before.
One thing though, I do like to use the pen to write my texts or Web addresses sometimes, and it's quite finicky in terms of recognizing what I type out. Sometimes I have to erase and retry several times which is annoying.
