**** The Official Note 4 thread ****
- Thread starter SoundEng
- Start date
Not such which I remember as of yet. Tried different remote apps including peelsmart but nothing seem to work.
One thing I have noticed (alongside my N4 seemingly getting worse) after going to mainland Europe for a few days, is my deteriorating signal with 3. Every day I seem to get a complete loss of signal and data randomly which I have never experienced like this before. I thought it might be something to do with my ROM or modem but didn't have a single issue abroad.
Any one using any new/updated ROMs? I am Dr Ketan's but unsure if it's the ROM, the phone or Android as my phone is falling apart:
- General lag across the board e.g. I double tap on the home screen to open WhatsApp which is usually instant but it can take seconds now and is getting slower
- Random brain fart moments where it just goes skitz
- The camera is acting weird - gives this underwater ripple effect sometimes or won't focus for a while
- Battery life is abysmal, I am constantly needing to charge

Finally considering replacing my note 4, with something newer. However, the new note is announced in 2 days, so looking to see if this affects the S8/S8+ deals available on EE.
The phone is still performing ok, some odd moments now and again, but nothing too major.

It's a tragic shame to see something as good as the Note4 fade away. Mine, which was given to my father (after I moved to the 6P) was an absolutely fantastic performer right upto the point of it's death. The screen was suberb, as was the camera. Even my father who dislikes phones loved it for the stylus. The Moto G4 that I bought him afterwards is no where near as good but it was a good buy overall.
Iirc Mazuma Mobile gave me £74 via bank transfer for the device so that was some consolation.

I found a refresh of the firmware using Smart Switch cleared the minor glitches I was having.

I am just installing smart switch now, is it self explanatory?
It guides you through the process pretty well.
Not sure that app will detect anything on the Note 4 though IIRC it does on the Note 1 and 2 or 3.

Mmc read fail is more a question of when, rather than if. First thing I'd do is get a stock Rom on there and monitor the battery life. You'll know if the mmc is faulty as it'll randomly reboot more and more and eventually reboot to the read fail message.

How old is it now? If it's more than a year then the battery could be on it's way out. Mine didn't even make it to a year.

Still miss my note 4, shame only a new motherboard will bring it back to life. Have so many accesories and spare batteries for it.

I guess it's out of warranty then?
Mines sitting on my desk draw without a screen. Can't justify the cost of a new screen unless one pops up second hand or something

Mine is under warranty, had it since new. Samsung claimed the phone had been tampered with, they said it had been opened and then sealed incorrectly so they wont touch it. The phone had never been opened, rooted or tampered with in any way. Disgusted.
