the s4 is an amazing phone, 2GB, 720p movies, goat chinese batteries available, great screen definition, cyanogenmod always updated.
this is literally the perfect phone.
>>55083289
I have one and I pretty much agree. CM13 Android M nightlies are 100% flawless on it. In contrast, a friend of mine has a few problems with his (bulkier but not really better) S5, radio-related battery drain on anything but KitKat on top of all.
>>55080751
>Android
It's so ... pleb
>>55083289
when i had kitkat and it was new i loved it
now it's getting old and beatup. the usb port is fugged up and charging is a bitch
i need an upgrade, was thinking of the note 5 since it's on sale. almost would rather have the note 4 but it's actually more expensive
halp
>>55083492
so your problems are pretty much you bot using it well
>>55083518
not a board i browse much so i don't know what that means.
i admit i'm a pleb however
>>55083565
I meant "not"
>>55083656
what do you mean? serious question, help a retard out
>>55080751
The Apple iPhone 6S Plus doesn't have this problem.
>>55080751
>not using a touchwizz based ROM to improve an older Android version

Your notification shade looks like shit.
>>55083940
What font breh
>>55083940
is nova good?
>>55083984
Go to Google play and search for an app called hifont. In that app the font is called peace. It's free.
>>55084030
I'm not aware of a ROM called Nova, only a launcher. A launcher only replaces the home screen. To clarify, "ROM" stands for Read Only Memory. This term is used incorrectly to describe custom built variations of Android. Ever notice how a Samsung phone looks different from an LG phone? That's because the manufacturers skin the OS and build in different features. ROMs don't just change the look, they also add more stuff or change things so that the OS works better in certain ways. Some ROMs focus on being open and customizable while others focus on stability and long term usability.
>>55084157
ah, gotcha. hence the touchwiz bullshit. i knew
samsung got heat for it and dialed the bloat back but still, it's bloat.
and now they took away sd support and finaly are bringing it back. hopefully the note 6 will have it too.
they fucked up the biggest plus against apple (even had a commercial about it) along with a replacable battery
now my upgrade is due and i don't know what the fuck anymore. i'd like one of the samsungs especially since they're giving away a free vr headset

I'm typing this from a Note 5 on Android 5.1.1 running a touchwizz based ROM I found a link to on XDA. I have the AT&T version but I flashed an engineering kernel to get root. From there I found a way to unlock the bootloader. The newer versions of touchwizz aren't as bad. There is a problem with flashing stuff on newer devices, including stock firmwares that were simply repacked. Build quality is amazing though.
>>55084384
>>55084412
Other than being ugly, there is literally nothing wrong with the latest versions of touchwizz. Fuck off pajeet.
>>55084594
im afraid of fucking up my shit with a custom rom
these things dont brick do they? i never understood why that could even happen if you could put a stock image back on

There are basically two kinds of bricking. You know you have a brick when you can't even access recovery or anything. The first kind is soft bricking. You can easily fix it yourself in 20 minutes to an hour. All you do is use a tool like odin to flash a factory firmware to the device. This will reinstall a stock ROM, recovery, kernel, etc. It'll be like it was on day one. The second kind of bricking is called hard bricking. You've basically managed to corrupt the flash memory of the device so badly that there's no way to recover it. This means the actual hardware is damaged.
I've done this to both Android and iOS devices. Easiest way to brick an iPhone is to exploit the bootrom. Pass all signature checks and force the bootrom to load in an iPad bootloader. That'll fuck your shit up, especially after it gets to the iBoot and tries to populate the device tree with the garbage in the baseband and LLB files you've just fed it. It's like a grown man trying to fuck a squirrel without killing it.
Hard bricking Android devices is a little easier. If you're running anything that isn't stock and then you relock your bootloader and flash a stock firmware, your phone is done. I bricked an old Motorola phone this way when I was 13. About 3 years later I finally understood what I'd done and I threw it in the trash.
Ahhhhhh, good times.
>>55084987
If you don't like the stock apps, there are leaked engineering kernels you could flash for "half assed root" access. This would allow you to uninstall the bloat. I already said it's ugly.
>shitty mem mgmt
>lags
Nah, I'm typing this from a Galaxy Note 5. I haven't been able to use more than 2.5 of the 4GB of RAM in this phone yet. It's smooth as butter and has the best build quality of any device I've ever owned. The stainless steel and glass construction is absolutely beautiful.
>>55085019
>actual hardware is damaged.
software can cause physical damage?
jesus, how?
sorry if these are stupid questions. just trying to get back into the swing of things.
my first cell was a startac so yeah, im getting old lol
>>55085063
>half assed root

>>55085073
Well flash memory is essentially a bunch of little silicon transistors packed into a little box. Phones use what's called NAND flash chips. They're named this because of the "not and" gates. Has something to do with the way the transistors are laid out I think. They store information in binary by holding electrical charges. So if a transistor is charged it's a 1. If it's empty it's a 0. Now I don't fully understand what causes the damage but I do know that these things don't last forever. These chips will eventually wear out over time. You can speed up this natural decay by constantly reading and writing the disk as fast as possible without stopping. Read more on Wikipedia, but software is so closely related to the hardware that they can damage each other.
>>55085121
No, I removed the bloatware. What the fuck are you not understanding? Fuck off, curry nigger. You can't read.
is the s pen stylus a meme or can it actually be useful
>>55085221
I bought a Note 5 for the specs and design but the s pen has turned out to be one of my favorite parts. I'd honestly feel naked going back to a phone that doesn't have a stylus. I haven't gone a day without removing the pen and I've had the phone about 3 weeks. It's pretty cool.
>>55085257
ok, what do you find it most useful for?
and have you tried using it as a gps for your car? wondering what that would be like. my s4 is ok at it. oh, and how is battery life?
>>55085276
Battery life is good after tweaking the settings and disabling or uninstalling certain apps and services. The weather thingy from Samsung is one of the biggest battery eaters. I can usually get about 4-6 hours of screen on time with 1/5 brightness and battery saver on. I've gotten up to 8 hours of screen on time by enabling greyscale in the accessibility settings and using power saving mode. If you don't mind black and white it's totally fine with that. Also the GPS works ok. The thing that really pisses me off with Google maps is the "shake to report" feature. When I'm in the car and I hit a bump it opens a message that's really distracting. It doesn't work when I shake the phone on purpose though. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software issue or if it's just Google maps. The bezels are really small so it's hard to use it without a case. Those are my only real complaints. Everything else either met my expectations or was even better.
>>55085438
thanks a bunch anon, very helpful
what size memory you got?
what do you fa/g/s think of ram mounts?
apparently you can switch what it's mounted to so you can use it in your car with the suction cup and then use it on your motorcycle with the handle bar mount
note 5 32gb and s6 with 64gb are both the same price, what should i do?
since neither have an sd card slot i'm wondering if the storage is more critical
>>55085019
>>55085170
holy shit. you are so wrong it hurts to read.
shut the fuck up if you don't understand something instead of blabbing like a moron in a public forum
Redmeme > all samshit besides S7
>>55085630
not that anon but what is the real answer?
im really curious
>>55085503
32GB
>>55085604
Note 5 for sure.
>>55085630
Nah, I'm pretty close. What I'm not going to do is have an info digging war with you, so fuck off you autistic piece of shit.
>>55085719
just looked and the s7 is an extra hundred burgerdollars more. is it worth it?
>>55085746
If you don't mind the smaller screen size and you absolutely need an SD slot then yes.
>>55085761
ive been doing ok with 16gb and all the phones i'm looking at have 32gb so i think i'll be fine. it's just nice to have that extra capacity if needed you know?
i don't take a lot of vids and pics or have movies or a lot of music. i mainly browse this shithole.
fuck, this shouldn't be this difficult.
thank you for your help thus far
>>55085668
which post? hard bricking refers to a state where the phone can't updated its rom on its own because the bootloader is fucked beyond recognition. there is no hardware damage though. typically we hen this happens you would want to open the phone, probe the jtag port and rewrite the bootloader on the flash directly. They call it hard brick because the average Joe or neo /g/ can't do it by itself.
for nand flash open wikipedia. but it has nothing to do with 1s and 0s.
>>55085719
>>>/v/ is where you belong
>>55085837
so in order to fix a hard brick you need direct access to the chip so you can directly program it?
>>55080751
Bluetooth, Location, Max Brightness nigga....
>>55085875
The problem is that the soc needs to boot to a certain degree before it can initialize usb driver and interface to allow you to write a new image onto the flash.
By using a native interface to the chip, i.e. JTAG, you eliminate the need for a correct boot software as the computer will provide everything necessary for the chip itself. Then, you are able to tell the chip to do your bidding.
Or, you could desolder the flash and program it directly, thats how manufacturers build the phone in the first place. but most of the time flash chips used on phones are bga and they become pretty much fucked when you desolder them and you can't solder them back on without reballing which is expensive and time consuming.
>>55085829
No problem.
>>55085837
>nothing to do with 1s and 0s
I know for a fact it does. Hope you enjoyed your visit to Wikipedia. I also hope you're satisfied that you've gone out of your way to prove someone on the internet wrong, even though they admitted in their first post that the information might not be correct and even suggested visiting Wikipedia for more information. Kys you autistic child.
>>55080751
Had an S3 and S4 but never seen this.
Only seen my camera overheat once on S3 and it only disabled flash - when I took over 800 images or so on charger in a library.
Btw the only phone that REALLY overheats is the LG G3. Shit is like a blazing brick, no kidding.
