What GPS issues are you having? At this moment I haven't encountered any, but I will be traveling today and hopefully I won't run into any.

Not sure if its AT&T network or my phone. But as of recently, when I turn on GPS, it can't find me. It'll get a general area (within 1 mile), but nothing compared to what it used to do (within 30 feet).

I haven't experienced those issues, but I'll use my Nexus 5 today when I travel to be safe.

G Flex sucks. The screen is horrible compared to note 3. As far as GPS... Just use a custom ROM and it will go away. Mine did.

I have the Note III, how do you say it has better internals than the Flex?
They have the same Snapdragon 800, they are both Quad cores, they both have the Adreno 330 graphics processor. The ONLY difference is the RAM, oh yeah the Flex has a 3500 mAh battery and the Note III has 3200 mAh battery. So how does the Note III have better internals again?
I'm not sticking up for the Flex here at all (I love my Note III) but it really can come down to the way Samsung and LG skin Android differently.

720p isnt the issue for the bad screen its the P-oled screen why do folks think its the 720p resolution?

i just dumped my note 3 for a gflex, couldn't be happier.
one tenth the bloat, and the stock ui is pretty decent until roms are available.
fanboys will always talk this and that about the screen... but have you seen it in person? how does the screen look to YOUR eyes?
for me, color is more important than xxx ppi or whatnot. love me oled.

Let me preface this. I wanted the gflex very badly and went to the T-Mobile store to see it. I am not a fan boy. I compared to my note extensively and the gflex failed on every level except its form factor was amazing. Loved the look and curve. I didn't notice it to be any more snappy then my note and the screen was the biggest disappointment side by side. If I wasn't looking at my note and then looking at the flex I can maybe see how people could say the screen looks nice...after you get past the horrible grainy screen when the brightness isn't turned up. Also its the combination of p oled and 720p that makes it so bad. The gflex 2 will be a lot better and will consider that next year once the technology is where it should be.

you know, it was a tough call for me. In the end it comes down to personal preference and more importantly how you use the phone. As others have pointed out, the p-oled display reminds one of the GNex for those of us that used that phone. It's got some grain on low brightness settings and technically the Note III (and many other LCD displays like those in the One and G2) are superior. What I did was use the phones together for a week and at the end of that time period I ended up keeping the Flex. I've had the Note 3 since November and have enjoyed the phone very much for a while now but I found in that week where I had them together I had a slight preference for the Flex. I especially enjoy watching vid on the Flex as I don't use it in this context with low brightness settings. Turned up I find the screen is quite nice and the shape makes the experience for immersive for me. Sorry to sound like an advertising wag but this has indeed been my experience. YMMV. I like the Flex for making calls to. I actually still make a fair number of these and the Flex is more comfortable for me here than the N3. So these are my experiences but honestly you can't go wrong with either. Good luck with your decision.

the difference in the screen aren't enough for me to care, color/vividness matters more to me.
I was given a FREE z1s, and haven't touched it because of the terrible screen. seriously, its THAT bad.
for me, the flex is everything i need. the note was a bag of tricks that i hated.

I just picked up my flex last night and all I can say is WOW!!!
Not sure why anyone would complain about the screen on this phone; the screen is GORGEOUS, fast as snot, and would be a GREAT addition to your phone inventory..Who sits there and analyzes there screen all day anyways? This is a cell phone, not a 4k television.
Not sure if there is much reason to dump a note 3 for it, but, if you are torn between the 2, and don't care about S-pen stuff, the Flex would be a fantastic alternative..

You probably never owned the G flex. It's a fantastic device with insane battery life and speed. Yes the display isn't the best but it's still decent. Both the note 3 and flex are great, it's just that the flex offers something different vs the note that has same old touchwiz.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yep, they are both great devices; if you need a major productivity tool, the note 3 is probably a better choice; if you want a multimedia, fun, unique phone, the Flex deserves a serious look..
After 5 samsung phones in a row, I had a HTC one max which was very nice, but this thing blows that away, especially with tmobile service versus Sprint..

Okay, the display of the Flex is a mixed bag. Before I go any further, I have to admit I'm a fan of the Flex. Not a fan of Touch Wiz or Sammy Radios
What sucks about the Flex's display are the artifacts and ghosting. Its that simple. What is great is the color and 720. 720 you ask, well this is the best 720 android display you will find. After using the note 3 for sometime, then going to the Flex, you notice whites are whiter on the LG. That's something that's more important than splotchyness you might find. At least for me.

[Q] Is the S5 worth it? I need your opinion!

I have a Tmobile Galaxy Note 3 unlocked which I use with AT&T.
I am debating on trading for an AT&T Galaxy S5 16 GB.
the question is.. is it worth it to do straight up swap for 16gb S5 since my Note 3 has twice the memory and more power.
Please let me know what you guys think!

Most definitely, I had the s3 with latest rom & I have to say this s5 kills it in battery life, speed, smoothness. Plus the camera is phenomenal. This is probably the best phone out currently. Plus we got root, the easiest ever and recovery. I have already debloated and installed V4A, PLUS most all my favorite apps.

If I were given the chance to go back in time and remake my upgrade decision, I wouldn't have gone with the S5. I didn't do my research about the bootloader and knox, which I had no problem with on my S3, and I am now considering trading my sister for her Nexus 5.

If it had unlocked bootloader I still wouldn't go with it. I feel like Samsung is slowly turning into Apple. Giving you outdated tech and saying it's new. Why didn't they put a better processor in the phone? Why didn't they put 3GB of ram in the phone. Why only 16GB of internal space? Why so when and if they push the Galaxy S5 prime/ Galaxy F they can give you what they should of in the first place? I'm on a rooted LG G3 and I love it. Glad I picked this phone.

I seriously doubt you'll actually need 3gb of ram. I understand that samsung decision to not include it when the tech is there is stupid but nonetheless, anything above the current flagship standard is frivolous (unless we suddenly reach the next generation of mobile apps and gaming). That being said, just the water resistance and battery alone is totally worth an upgrade. I've never had a phone that even comes close to the s5's battery and I've had them all from older galaxies to blackberries to iphones

Looking at the specs on Phonescoop, the note has a bigger screen and more memory, a little slower processor, not as good a camera. If camera is super important to you, you might want to switch. I'd guess the processor speed difference isn't noticeable to most. Think about it in depth before you switch. Also although the camera is better, there is still not more than 4x zoom. I love my s5 but this sounds like a really close call for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using xda premium

I had the note 3 and sold it.went back to the s4 for a bit and now the s5. I think you shouldn't have any regrets after switching. Phone is tough http://bgr.com/2014/04/02/galaxy-s5-drop-test-video/

I would go with the S 5 Active or the HTC (M8). At least with the M8 you can unlock your bootloader and get root.
All we have for the S 5 is root and safestrap (Which is awesome) Thats all you should have for the Note 3 right?
Dont get me wrong, you will be happy with the S 5 but a lot of people are extremely happy with the HTC M8.
HTC actually had an 30% sales increase since this phone and business is looking good for them!!!
Samsung is going the wrong way in my mind. They want more corporate peeps.....
PS: I had the Note 3 before this S 5 and I like the S 5 better.

Is the S5 worth it? I need your opinion

I have someone who wants my note 3 for their S5. Is it a fair trade?
One thing that bothers me is that my phone has twice the memory.
Plus the thin bezel on the note 3 looks hella better.
What do you guys think? Performance and resale value wise?

Its a deal breaker to me. Plus i get around 8 hours on screen time.

It really comes down to your needs. The s5 and the note 3 are pretty similar specs wise except for:
-s5 has better processor
-note 3 has more ram
-s5 has better battery and is water RESISTANT
-note 3 has a bigger screen and a stylus
-s5 has a better camera
Personally I would take the s5 since I find the better camera, water/dust resistance and a snappier processor to be better tradeoffs than a bigger screen and 1gb more ram
Also, the fake leather back might wear off quickly if you're not careful

The S5 battery lasts longer than the note 3? I usually get 4.5 hour screen time with heavy use and 20 hours
This is using greenify and debloated

Smaller screen means less juice to power it. I have the S4 but I had a friend's S5 for a few days and was impressed. If I have to chose an upgrade right now I'll go with the S5 since the Note 3 looks too big to handle as a phone and bigger screen will drain your battery pretty fast. There is nothing a note 3 can do than the S5 can't plus you get water/dust resistance. :good:

Upgrade from Note 3

Hi I have a Note 3 with me and I got a Note 4 during Cyber monday and I also have a T-Mobile gc for 100 off. Also T-Mobile is buying back my Note 3 for 325. So my cost for the Note 4 is 325 (650-325 Trade in credit) I am confused now as is it worth it to spend the extra money now. Can people who have upgraded from Note 3 to Note 4 comment on this.
A couple of things about me.
Wife has a iphone 6 plus and we take pics with the 6 plus so I can live without a not so gr8 camers.
I dont game at all.
I love the Spen and take notes also browse the web a lot o my phone.

I went from the 3 to 4. The s pen on the 4 is better. I draw etc and it works so much nicer. I also like the upgraded software for the pen.
sent from my GN4 N910T 4.4.4 stock rooted

That's good to know, I don't draw but I like to write with the pen. other than that how is the rest. The writing is really nice on the Note 3 also. Overall how is tue performance of Note 4 805 processor?
Another thing is we are also going to get 64 bit processor Soon- And the Note 5 next year will definitely have 64 bit processor. So I am really confused is it worth while to wait or upgrade and more over my Note 3 is in good condition.

Well all I can say is everything I do feels faster. Chromecast video play better. I do a mix of reading, watching videos, games, drawing, writing and replaced my PC with the note line. The Note 4 only has 2 things I don't like. I don't need QHD, it makes on screen elements a little to small in Ingress. The other is they didn't keep the temperature sensor. Other then those two minor issues I can't find issue with it.
I can't wait to see some custom ROMs over the next few months. I have owned a lot of phones and tablets and by far the Note 4 is my favorite. I do use Nova launcher since I can't stand the limits in TW.
sent from my GN4 N910T 4.4.4 stock rooted

Well I know the s6 was supposed to cone with new chip set but they stopped that. Nobody knows what note 5 will come with. 32 works great so is 64 gonna be better. Who knows. Samsung don't even know yet. They still have no real idea till they fix issues with s6 and then maybe focus on 5.0 for note 4 then get back to building note 5
BAD ASS NOTE 4

It's probably an unpopular opinion to have in this forum, but i'm a little disappointed I spent the money to upgrade. It's not to say the Note 4 isn't a great phone, out of anything out there right now it's an easy pick for me, but it is in no way a significant upgrade from the 3. There are some very slight improvements, the screen for one. The screen on the 3 was already stellar, so it's hard to achieve a major upgrade here. The camera gets slightly more detail, although the photos are noisier and have more sharpening added to them (possibly the reason for the added noise?). The battery life is worse, not by a significant amount, but it is still worse for me. I notice no speed difference at all, if one exists it's too slight for my level of perception. The speaker is worse, maybe not in quality, but in placement. The build is nicer, definitely feels higher quality, but this is perception too, the Note 3 was already proven to be quite tough. I keep my phone in a case, so that's ultimately not much of a benefit to me either. The fingerprint scanner I don't use, tried it and it often required multiple swipes, seems easier to just enter a code. The new white/cyan color scheme is atrocious, and I don't know what the hell they were thinking doing this on a phone with an AMOLED screen. Black backgrounds make MUCH more sense, not just to take advantage of high AMOLED contrast, but to conserve battery power also.
All in all, I regret spending $400 to upgrade, but the Note 4 is still an awesome phone. If I had been upgrading from an S4 or a Note 2, something along those lines, I think I would have a lot less regret about the money spent. Ultimately it depends on how much you want the slight improvements.

I came from an s4. Not a note 3.
But, I can tell you this phone is awesome. It's the "it" phone. And, will be for a long time.
Take the money for the note 3 and take the plunge.
My path has been g1and a wing, g2, s2, s3, s4, note 4.
I wouldn't have considered a note up until now because of the lack of development.
But, now. It's awesome. And, we are so lucky it's not locked down like the other carriers.
PS
We won't hate you because you admitted you have an iPhone.

Thanks for taking time to explain it. I do feel same but I also think by upgrading we will have a newer device and also the warranty is now extended to one more year. Look at this this way say if we were to sell our note 3 end of 2015 we would hardly get anything out of it but by selling note 4 at least we get 300 so our upgrade might be only 25..... That is where I have the whole confusion.
My Note 3 battery barely makes it to the end of the day. I am not rooted and don't want to as I use a lot of soft card for cash back. I definitely don't want to loose that.

I had checked. I upgraded from a note 3 to a note 4 a few weeks back actually. That's why I sold mine on craigs list for funnily enough $325 as T Mobile were offering peanuts.
By the way well worth the upgrade. Think of it a refinement at its best.

Good points, resale and warranty are valid reasons to trade up. My comments really focused on the complaints that I have with the phone as most other people have covered the high points, and of course there are many. It's subjective, obviously, but I don't think anything else out there at the moment surpasses it as a complete package.

I never owned a note 3 before. But I do own a 2012 Note 10.1 which I love very much. This Note 4 is even faster than my tablet and it really is impressive with everything I can do with it.

Note 4 or s6 or note 5...

hey guys, i have a galaxy s4 for about one and a half year, and i plan to buy a new phone, the thing is, i really like the NOTE 4 design, battery, big screen, but it has some lags, and i like the S6 fresh ui, its smoother than all samsungs, and the style is really nice, i dont know what to get, i know that when the NOTE 5 comes out it will have the S6 ui and the NOTE 4 battery and screen, but i dont know if i should wait or get something now, because if i wanna get the NOTE 5 i have to wait for more than half a year.....i appreciate your advice....THANKS

Wait for the Note 5. I had a GS4 from launch day in April 2013 up until the Note 4's launch day where I then got the Note 4, I skipped the S5 and waited the extra months and when I got the Note 4 the wait was worth it:
The battery life
Design
Build quality
SPen
Incredible camera
The best display on a mobile
Etc...
I am now happy with my Note 4, the S6 looks like a super downgrade from it,and will get the Note 5 later this year when I open another contract package for my 2nd line.

THANKS guys, i dont mind lack of sd-card as long as i get the 64gb version, but the thing that killing the S6 for me is the screen size, its not small but i have a 5 inch screen now so its not much of an upgrade, and the glass at the back is not the best solution if you drop you device once...maybe i'll check the lg G4 when it comes out....

I have a Note 4 (930F) and i would trade for a S6 edge if someone wants! S6 its the most beautiful phonne ever made

hey guys, i have a galaxy s4 for about one and a half year, and i plan to buy a new phone, the thing is, i really like the NOTE 4 design, battery, big screen, but it has some lags, and i like the S6 fresh ui, its smoother than all samsungs, and the style is really nice, i dont know what to get, i know that when the NOTE 5 comes out it will have the S6 ui and the NOTE 4 battery and screen, but i dont know if i should wait or get something now, because if i wanna get the NOTE 5 i have to wait for more than half a year.....i appreciate your advice....THANKS

Personally I don't see a major difference between the S6 and Note 4 when it comes to usability other than the fact that the former lacks many of the functions of the latter. Doubt you'd be disappointed with either one. If you prefer VR however I'd suggest waiting for the Note 5 in case it ships with a 4K/UHD screen as the current one isn't sharp enough to eliminate the screen door effect. Highly recommend getting a Gear VR regardless of whichever phone you end up picking.

How is the battery holding up on it? I didn't know they were on sale yet or do you have one from Samsung?

i do not care about the VR, i want a big screen with smooth ui and good battery, all the time i thought that HTC will come with something special but i was wrong, they used the same device from last year but with a better camera...and lg flex 2 lags a lot with lollipop, its like this year there is no choice but to pick the NOTE 4 if you want a big screen, but i know that samsung is lazy, they wont update the NOTE 4 ui to look like the S6 before the NOTE 5 comes out, and thats an issue...

Note 5, because of design...

yeah but its too far...

i've had an S2 and wanted to buy the S5 when it got out, i wasnt really amazed by it. Compared to the S4 it had ip67 waterproof, better camera, bit better screen but nothing extraordinary , and its still made of plastic.
I decided to wait it out then i realised the note series existed and i was sold immediatly when i saw the amazing note 4 it feels so nice, battery is awesome, screen is awesome, just everything is awesome about it.
If i were you, i'd wait for the note 5 if you can, like you said the nice UI from the s6 will come to N5 too + small upgrades like camera etc and maybe/probably even a note5 dualedge, so why not wait?
I had to buy a new one as my S5 was nearly at the end of it's life, i couldn't trust it anymore but if your s4 works fine, wait it out

Okay, so I'm in the same boat. I'm using my gf S3 because my S4 jumped from the shelf (literally) and commited seppuku, thus needing a new phone badly. Can anybody point the pros and cons of the Note 4 vs S6? Thinking of getting the S6 64GB but the lack of SD card and removable battery (as well as glass backpanel) are negatives in my book. Is the performance/no lag and screen quality really improved? Also, Wolfson DAC in exynos is a plus for me, being a musician and listening TONS of music on the go with headphones. Getting the Note 4 exynos isn't an option for me.
Thanks in advance!

It's the usual tech dilemma. Buy now or wait for the next big thing. There will always be a "next big thing" just around the corner. Buy now then kick yourself down the road when the presumed and currently unknown N5 comes out. Or suffer phone envy until it comes out. I passed off my S4 for a Note 4 because I wanted an S-pen. Not sorry I did and don't expect I'll be mad at myself for not waiting.
