Anyone getting or pre-ordering the Note 4? I've had the Samsung Galaxy S4 for the last year and its been the best phone I ever had.
My gf has the S5 and she really likes it. Leaps and bounds better than the S3 she did have. I was gonna upgrade to the S5, but there wasn't enough there really to make me upgrade. The Note 4 will be even more powerful than the S5.

Only thing concerns me is that its going to be bigger, only thing that concerns me really. Plus, won't be as water resistant and the S5.

I have a Verizon Note 4 on pre-order. I currently have the Note 2. I love the large screen.

Yep, preordered my Note 4 as well. Can't wait.

 

Have a S5 right now and this 16 gigabytes is getting on my nerves. It gets full quick. Hate moving things to SD card all the time to keep my device freed up.

 

Just wish Android L would be out at the same time to get everything at once.

The note 4 and Edge look impressive. Edge seems like with a case it would be somewhat pointless. I guess it depends on how they go about making cases for it.

 

As far as getting either one nope, not going to drop $800+ on Android's Apple equivalent with everything locked down and made harder to do what I want.

 

Now a google/developer edition of the note 4 maybe.

 

Really do wish the phone makers would put out more water resistant phones even if it's done how Sony does it with doors/flaps to seal things off.

This might sound dumb, but I could never figure out to switch to my sd card to add music, pictures and videos.

If you're taking pictures your camera app should have an option of where to save it to. Either internal or external.

 

Music when you add it from a computer you should see both "drives" to add it to. Faster way would probably be to just take the micro out and stick it in your comp (if you have adapter or card reader) and add the music/videos that way.

 

For apps there are apps that will transfer the app data to the micro for you. There is also a built in option in Android for this but I don't remember which version it started on and it's not as easy as the apps that do the same thing.

I'm thinking of getting the Note 3 as of right now. Does it work well touch wise without the stylus?

Yes it is just like using an S4 or S5 that has a larger screen. I loved the stylus for certain things.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
