Glad I got mine massively discounted through work - seems a lot of stories of them suffering problems after awhile - mine has now started to periodically restart itself (looks like sometimes its freezing and some kind of "watchdog" rebooting it). Hopefully makes it to around the middle of 2017 and I'll look at replacing it anyhow or end up fully back on my Note 1 that has suddenly decided its going to behave itself again battery life wise :S

These are from one of only two sellers I found on Amazon selling genuine batteries. Expensive because you can only buy them with the charger.

They must have listened to the complaints.

The last one I used on my Note4 before I gave it to my father was an Anker one bought about a year and a half ago. Still going well. Obviously it hasn't full screen coverage.

Thanks.

If anyones interested on amazon, they have the Anker 3220mAh Li-ion Battery for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 going for £7.99 at the moment, go through todays deals and look under Electronics, been using one of those batteries since around september, i'm tempted to getting a spare.

Thanks just ordered!
I've had an Anker battery for about 6months and it works great! Just wanted another as this phone doesn't seem like it's due a replacement anytime soon!

I ended up buying a Powerbear battery from Amazon for £9.99 during the Xmas sales. I haven't put it into my fathers Note4 just yet though as it's been behaving itself. Shall report back when I do so 
Regarding the battery i bought the kit that contains the external docking charging station via amazon. Every time i got the original battery as well and just sold the extra docking station to some of my friends.
Another great feature thing i bought for it so i can preseerve the micro usb plug as much as i can, this.

How long have you been using that as it looks a great idea for preserving the charging port?
I note a few reviews that say they lose the magnetism after a while but I assume you can re-magnetise it?

the screen is failing on mine now. must have suffered some damage when it became dislodged. i just need it to hold out till march when i replace it with ano....yeah that's not going to happen. :/
So sent my note 4 away for repair as it kept losing signal and randomly rebooting it self and got this reply...

who did you send it to? I would have though they'd put a new mainboard in there
Display on mine is completely fried now. I think i'll just bin it and buy a cheap android phone to tide me other till the S8 is released.
On reflection, my note 4 has been the most unreliable phone i've ever owned lol.

My new replacement N4 still being very strange like others have said, I don't rate stock at all. Fortunately Dr Ketan has released a new version of his ROM, so will update before my holiday and hope I don't have to deal with these issues abroad.
Who replaced yours mate?
