man...I remember reading an article about this on some website but it escapes me at the moment. Exact same problem and the dude writing the article was trying to figure out what caused it and eventually figured it out. Something about uninstalling the facebook app or installing it. Or something. I can't remember at all.

Awesome, bought. I've been waiting for this and/or Minecraft to go on sale. In case I get these issues you mentioned, I need both the free and paid version installed, right?

The phone already shipped with KK. There isn't anything anyone else has updated to either, and they moved all of the apps to the playstore to be updated more frequently.
I just don't follow this at all.
No, sorry I worded that strangely. I just mean that you can try out the free version before you buy it. I'm sure they'll continue to fix the remaining issues anyways and at this price its a great time to get it.
Van you and I are in the same boat on ATT. 4.4.3 shit the bed with problems and ATT pulled it back. Our phones will most likely jump straight to Lollipop 5.0.1 in February or March. Quite frankly reading over the differences between 4.4.3 and even 4.4.4 on the developer phone, we're not missing much.

4.4.2 for a lot of devices had the bug fixes already rolled in. There is literally nothing that an update to non Lollipop could provide.
It's like getting pissed your Nexus isn't on 5.0.2 even if 5.0.1 is the latest for your device.

So I'm switching to Verizon at some point this week (from Sprint - good riddance), which means I'll be upgrading from my Galaxy S3. I've really, really enjoyed this phone and it's been great the entire time I've used it. So part of me wants to stick with Samsung since my experience with their mobile devices has been largely positive. But part of me also wants to maybe explore something slightly different from Samsung. Right now it's a battle between the Galaxy Note 4 and Xperia Z3v. The dark horse options would be the Moto X and Droid Turbo, which I've heard are both amazing phones, I just dislike the aesthetics of both compared to the GN4 and the Z3v.
I'm likely going to make my decision in the store, on the spot. I really need to just hold them in my hand. Because whichever phone I end up with, it'll be a notable size increase (the GS3 is 4.8 inches with a 720p display).

My Note 4.
Sup fellas. I recently installed Lollipop rom on my HTC One and I wanna give it a go as a full on phone. Is there an easy way to change between phones? Currently have an iPhone 6 but I'm sure it uses a smaller SIM card. But the HTC One still has my old SIM in it. T-Mobile/Unlocked for both btw. Do I have to actually go into a store to reactivate my HTC or could I easily do it on my own?
Also could my girl use my unlocked iPhone 6 on Verizon? Heard something about GSM iPhones working on the Verizon network.
Also for some reason I don't have Nova Launcher Prime anymore despite having purchased it before. Under my apps section in the Play Store, it says $4.00 instead of Purchased.. As is every other app I've purchased. Did me wiping the cache and what not in TWRP mess with that?

I can confirm. It is well known issue, probably due to TW, but yes, Note 4 doesn't like ART, it is always updating apps when you turn on the phone and some of them just crash. Hopefully lollipop won't have any of those issues since dalvik is no option. I also hope performance improvements too.

You're wrong, updates mean more than just the core OS. Considering the issues I'm having, it's annoying to hear you spout nonsense.

Cost 1 dollar (33 after tax, $51 total with geek squad protection after some random discounts). I'd say it's a pretty good deal.
This thing's a beast. =D
Did you bring a wheelbarrow to take it home?
How do you like it?

For your first question, all you have to do is activate the old sim card. Check if you can do it online, if not just call in to do it. Definitely shouldn't have to go into a store for that.
As for your second question, I live in Canada so I honestly don't know but I thought verizon was only CDMA but because the iphone is an LTE phone I think it actually would work on verizon. Don't take my word for it though. An american will have to answer that one.

Uh huh...I'm there. I see no appointment times, yet even on the fucking WIDGET my times are listed.
Sorry I misread your original post. The only time I see is the off to the left hand side.

Well they arguabaly have the best smartphone in 2014(well phablet..)
As bad as touchwiz is..at least its not a beta OS like 5.0
It was pretty hilarious how this thread was like
Lollipop will make ______way better...

No, no. We're firm believers in if 5.0.1 doesn't make it better, 5.0.2 will. On and on until the next OS arrives. You aren't keeping up right.

Just wait for the first Nexus phone to have a 3220 mah battery! Without Touchwiz bloat and all the OS optimizations stock brings, that Nexus will be a BEAST when it comes to battery life. You think the Note getting 5-6+ hours of screen on time is impressive? Just you wait for the 3220 mah Nexus!
I'm not sure how it can be argued that Touchwiz is better than Lollipop in any situation. Complexity/=/better.
LOL this thread has been funny with all the weird misplaced anger.
On topic: Damn March feels so far away. I hope the M9 also has an IR port. It's the only other feature I want from it due to my new TV not having buttons. Who thought that was a good idea?
The gentle giant has come home. =*)

but its lollipop that has the complexity.
like volume management for example.

VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
Also better stability, and probably better performance with the whole encryption thing. Time to start asking how you can get touchwiz on a stock device.
There's nothing wrong with volume management in Lollipop. You hit the bell for vibrate, and you choose between no notifications, priority or all. This isn't complicated and it solves a problem that we've had in Android for a long time. What broken is the lack of expandable volume controls which was never in stock android to begin with.
The Faceless Master

solved what problem? the one where people weren't begging and pleading enough for Google to roll back changes?
oh wait, not, that's not true, they already managed that with SD support and more recently, lockscreen music controls to name a few...
SD card support hasn't been changed in Lollipop, and neither has lockscreen music. Are you talking about music scrubbing?
Cool, thanks. I guess I'll try checking online.
So whats the next great Android device to be released? Z4?
Probably, although there's that new Kodak phone....
