Do you guys think it's a good switch? Coming from an s5, rooted custom as always. Will I be happy?

Had S4 for a while, was happy, but wanted bigger screen. Read some reviews and comparisons, watched some YouTube clips. Max Lee got his opinion on YouTube, should know him if you've been custom for a while.
S4 is older so there are a lot more custom ROMs, N4 is getting there.
Had it for about 2 months, I like it better than S4.
She always asks if I'm happy to see her or my note 4 is in my pocket
BTW when I first removed the battery cover, on the back side of it, it says, "You will be happy"! Good luck:good:
Good switch...but will you be happy...we can't decide or make such judgement for you.
You'll be happy for a few months, that is until the note 5 comes out. If I was you I'd wait it out a few more months and pick up a note 5 instead.
I'd be afraid if I wait for the 5 that they are gonna do what they did to the s6

I'd also say wait. Then you'd have options, 5 or 4. And if it be still N4, then might find a better deal on it, stores or public getting rid of their obsolete N4
if note 5 becomes the s6...the note 4 will be on deals
Not sure about the galaxy 5 but I just came over from the M8 and I'm blown away by it, very happy I made the switch!
Note 4 is good to go and will be the one i keep for a while, easy to root, lots of customizations out there, and from all i have read and heard, the note 5 will be like the S6, no sd card or removable battery...but you never know...regardless, this thing is a beast and will be a fast phone that will get updated for a while.
Note 4 is wack! Completely wack! Either that or me and the 2 other people I know that personally have the phone all got lemons! I for real can't stand all the bugs and weird crap that my note 4 has a does. I'm getting another phone this week that's just my personal opinion. My note 3 was 100 times better.
It's a good switch.
We have the most roms
I switched yesterday, already rooted the same night and twrp, no hiccups. I like it better so far
Sent from my Galaxy S5 using Tapatalk
I own a Note 4 and absolutely love it.. TouchWiz still sucks and STILL makes it lag though but once I flashed an AOSP ROM on it holy f*ck does it fly with ZERO hiccups and now I can make the speaker volume even louder using FauxSound. Couldn't be more happy.. Either get a Note 4 or just wait til October for Note 5. Personally I'd probably wait but like another user said they might not include removable battery/SD card in the Note 5 but hey, in that case if you really wanted those features and they dont include them just get the Note 4 in October anyway, up to you.. That's what I would do though :good:

Funny I haven't had a single problem with mine yet, what bugs do you speak of?
Ditto. How could note 3 possibly b better than N4?
Wait for the note 5 to come out then if you care about saving money get the note 4 if not get the note 5. If you want a big screen that gives more freedom then just get a nexus or lg g4, they are on stock and dont have useless features like the s pen.

It's a good switch. We have the most devs.
IMO the Note 4 is the best device made to date. No other comes close. The S-Pen is the most powerful tool for any Smart Phone made. I've had every top of the line device, nothing even comes close. Just my opinion.

Hey everyone, Ive had a note 2 for 2 years now and samsung honestly has a lot of bloatware, also the phone is really slow now that even the youtube app would take 3-5 seconds to open. Which phone do u think is better and did anyone have the experience of their nexus 5 or 4 getting a lot slower in a matter of a year or two?? Thanks

I ditched my Note 2 Wed night for the Note 4 Developer Edition on VZW. If you are on VZW or ATT and you don't get a develop edition it may be a long time (if ever) for root and/or bootloader unlocking. If tweaking the device is important that will play a huge factor. As for lag...I am running a debloated rom (no knox or bloatware) and I froze S-voice...there is zero lag now, but you need root to do that.
I was down to either the Nexus 6 or N4 DE...whichever one I could buy first. I am not a fanboy of either as both have good and bad points and I am sure I would have been happy with either. My favorite thing about android is that if there is something I don't like or a feature I want, there is almost always a way to make it happen (assuming you have root and an unlocked bootloader). Hope this helps.
My short input: Hardware is better on the Note 4. Software better on the Nexus 6.
I chose the Nexus because I wanted to experience Stock Android. But I believe the Note is a better phone overall.

I had the Note 3 before I upgraded to the Nexus 6. In my opinion the Nexus 6 is beast & fast as all hell! I mean this thing is so fast out of the box without need to use a custom rom or anything like that. I never used the stylus so that's never been any issue for me when deciding to upgrade my device. Also the front facing speakers & the screen clarity is seriously AWESOME!
I haven't used a phone in years where I didn't feel the need to alter it to make it perform as I thought it should. I did root mine because I love using Titanium Backup and certain apps like that. I woudn't go back to my Note 3 for anything after using this! I don't recall being so happy overall with a device!!!
PS: I also feel that you will not notice much of a differance between the Note 2 & 4 but upgrading to the Nexus 6 will be a very new experiance you will enjoy!!!

Thanks everyone!
I bought nexus 6 and my sister bought note 4. My sister loves her note 4 and I am returning my nexus 6. Only Note series has right features for big screen. Nexus 6 is not very pleasant in use.
But it all comes down to what you need must. My sister doesn't care about software upgrades so it's a perfect phone her.
There reason I am returning my nexus 6 because of some issues. Battery life is meh. Its just big. And no led? Really I need to root to get it? That's just stupid. There is always cloud app fc. I mean come on brand new phone and a fc. It has no advantage over any other latest phone except the OS (that too experience some lag).
After using nexus 4 and then nexus 5. I am going back to my one plus one. Half Price and better performance then nexus 6.
Just to answer your question, if Samsung keeps their word go with international or developer edition note 4.

The note 4 and edge seem to have a bit of the sexiness with them ?
Gonna give this 1 week trial I would probably settle with the note edge if
This don't go well ..lol

I came from Note 4 after 2 months of usage, so far quite like the nexus 6. Battery seems to be better for me with Nexus 6. I use everything at full blast by the way, no power saver or reduce stuff

I switched from an AT&T Branded Note 4 to the Nexus 6, so far I don't miss much, I rarely used the S Pen, the Oxygen Sensor even less, and my Gear Live has a Heart Rate Monitor. I think the Nexus 6 looks pretty sexy myself The Nexus 6 from T-Mobile comes unlocked and bloat free, and is easily bootloader unlocked and rooted, two things the AT&T Note 4 still can't do.
Today is my first day with nexus 6 at work so far smooth ass response and loving it ..I'm in wall street so texted and a lot of emails and messages been 2 hours it is 93%

would like to see what more of you guys have to say.. Im trying to decide which phone out of the N6 Note 4 and one plus one
Went from Nexus 5, gave the Nexus 6 a shot, and ultimately settled on the Note 4 (while keeping the Nexus 5 because it's still an amazing phone and I didn't want to give up on pure Google goodness )
I won't drag this thread into another "which phone is better" banter, just answering your question. Nexus 6 holds it own, Note 4 has a few bells and whistles that may or may not appeal. I've been a Nexus guy for years, and had never ventured into the Note series, so I decided to hold one of each for a while.
After running a SlimLP build on the Note 4, I can say that both the Nexus 6 and this one run Lollipop amazingly. At the end of the day, you can't go wrong w/ either purchase.
I came from note 4 after 2 weeks usage/experience. I had all note series. The only thing I miss is multi window. N6 is very speedy and yes 6' screen is so nice...
P.s I miss also Samsung keyboard with numeric row.

No its actually a legitimate thread ...so far NEXUS 6 is smooth and sexy
I mean you gotta love the way lollipop animate when you touch something
Its more smoother than my iPhone 6 plus holy cow.
Point of it is that note edge or note 4 is also best of the best
So it is confusing since I have 13 days left to play with it.
I do rmemeber tho yesterday when I was watching you tube I was watching 2k
And that's when I know and smile when you hear the stereo speakers and the big ass
Screen doing its thing the nexus way....
Also keep in mind also that note4 will get lollipop it could be sick ..and solve the touchwiz thing anyway 13 days to go
Thoughts?
Coming from the note 4 after a few months. Now 1 week into the Nexus and I love it. Knowing what I know now the nexus would be my first choice. Since I can't compare the two without people getting butthurt, I'll just say there is nothing i miss about the Note 4.

Coming from a note is totaly fine. However maybe its better to wait sucking lollipop first on the note 4 before comparing or pick another device. Snappys will run way smoother but if your on exynos, you wil enjoy more 64bts and full ART runtime as well. Besides that, its already time for next generation 810 soon. So therefore its worth waiting a while more to..
And no, im not gonna bash on the nexus 6 anymore, we had our fun..so did the nexus fanclub and finaly had the thread closed
I realy dont know what to pick coming from a note but the nexus 6...

If i had to pick today, the oneplus one 100% is the perfect phone for in between snappy 805 and 810. If you like buy a expensive note or nexus at this time....waste of money, better a 270 euro phone for now, wait a few months and get yourself that awesome snappy 810. The oneplus one is fast enough while waiting, running CM rom. Most 'bang for buck' phone ever...

True, it will be dated, but Nexus phones age much better. The Nexus 5 is still a damn decent phone and gets plenty of support. There are days when I miss it vs. the Note. (Battery isn't great though in comparison.)
My point is that given their track record, if Lollipop is taking this long on the latest and greatest Note, imagine how long updates are going to take when they care even less a couple Android point releases down the line.
And I get 4.5-6 on a good day with the Note, and I'm actually pretty happy with that all things considered. The idle time is phenomenal as well. Three days of light use is not unusual for me.

If you want Lollipop flash it there are a bunch of good AOSP ROMS.
The key differences is the screen and the camera. Both are better on the Note 4.
As far as support goes if you root your phone support will last a long time, my Note 2 is already on AOSP Lollipop 5.0.2
As long as the phone has root, don't pick a phone based on software, you can flash whatever you want on it, pick a phone based on hardware.

I'm reluctant to try AOSP. I owned a Note 2, and CM was buggy as hell.
if your only purpose of switching is SOT let me tell you , you'll be quite disappointed.
You have a lot of people posting 8-9hrs of SOT but not matter what I try what rom i try what kernel i try there's no such thing happening for me.
You literally have to just have the phone on, with screen on without any timeout, doing absolutely nothing.

I personally would go with the note 4, i had the nexus 6 and wasn't impressed by it one bit, had a couple cool features but not compared to this. However, updates will be way faster on the nexus then on this...but the screen on note 4 in my opinion is way superior, i had to keep the brightness at like 85 percent to be able to see everything good, on here, i keep it at 25. Both fast though!
It took them a bit of time to work out all the bugs on CM on the Note2 but once they did it was WAY better than the stick ROM. CM11 on my Note 2 is the best it had ever run. WAY better than TW, better battery, and much faster.

To be honest, the only 3 reasons I went with the N4 were 1) the camera (now not so sure), 2) expandable storage through SD card (I could've just picked up the 64GB N6 and be ok) and 3) the pen.
P.S. @PunishedSnake Please refrain from the click-baiting thread names - clearly state what your question is in as much detail as possible in the subject of the thread to avoid members to have to click on it to find out what it's about.
The Note 4 is hands down better than the Nexus 6 when it comes to HARDWARE. Better camera, better screen, better battery life, IR blaster (remote control), comfortable to hold in hand, removable battery, expandable storage, etc. The only reason I would get the Nexus 6 is because of official support by Google as far as stock Android is concerned. Also the Note 4 will have a better resale value than the Nexus 6 if you decide to sell it. If you ever feel the need for a Nexus like experience with the Note 4 you can always root it to be more Nexus like.
I'd go ahead and return the nexus 6. And get the note 4.
I gave my nexus 6 to my mom.

I'm personally torn.
Having had both, and ultimately sticking w/ the Note 4 only because I still have a Nexus 5 to play around with, I'm just not in love with the Note 4. It's the first phone in the Note series I've owned, and while I enjoy the multi-view and S-Pen capabilities the best, both features are negated when running a non-TouchWiz ROM. Of course, that's to be expected, and not necessarily deal breakers, but I'm indifferent as to how long I'll stick around w/ the device.
To be fair, I should note that I was one of those who got a phone out of the "bad batch" w/ the camera issues, and didn't return it w/i 14 day window nor submit for RMA. Again, for what I personally use the phone for, even that isn't a deal breaker. And to be honest, the Lollipop based ROM I'm running now does hum like a butterfly and have NO complaints about battery life.
Depending on what's on the horizon in a few months, I may utilize the JUMP program or sell outright. Nice phone, for sure, but I think coming from a Nexus, I may be a bit underwhelmed. IMO, if you've come from TouchWiz, or are looking at the camera specs, go w/ the Note 4 and you won't be disappointed.
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

Note 5
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.

I am dissapointed with note 4 e.g battery poor fingerprint reader and lag. No update to themes. For almost a year been waiting for the problems to go. I didn't buy this phone to turn off its features to almost last a day. So give us a deal for being loyal. eg if you had 2 notes a 20 percent discount to upgrade to note 5.or get the note 4 working properly..
Otherwise I see more people switching to iPhone 7.the 6plus already has a better fingerprint scanner.,camera is as good and definitely a better battery and maybe less bugs.
I've had every note to date... I wish there was a better alternative with a pen.
Same here if you look at my sig.. I had every note generation except the note 1. And I had every galaxy S except the S1... I am going to use my Note 4 til it gives up on me then I will switch brand.
whattttt!!!poor battry!!!!!?
lag!!!!?
I haven't any problem

your lucky
i think the majority of complaints about this phone are about the battery.....
Love to see something like that, but we know that will never happen. Me and my wife have had the Original Galaxy S, The S3 and now the Note 4. Only reason I personally didn't go with the Nexus 6 was the removable battery and SD Card.
They do here in Brazil. It's not much, around 65 us dollars, but it's good enough. Btw, I'm not sure you have the same phone as me, my SM-N910C, 5.0.1 BOC5 stock with v. 25 ultimate Kernel is just perfect.

I'd call the battery "decent", of course I'm coming from a Nexus 5 before, so anything would be an improvement. It definitely wasn't as amazing as I had thought it would be.
But lag, yes, so much lag. Pressing Recent Apps and waiting two seconds for anything to happen. Pressing the power button to wake the device and waiting a second for it to turn on. It got so bad that I switched to CM 12.1.
Unfortunately I will not be rooting my 910C because I use knox ...
