Currently, I have a T-Mobile Note 4, but looking to change devices soon. Has anyone switched from a Note 4 to the G4?
Pros/Cons? Worth it?
I did
thinking about it

I like it so far only thing I can't stand is the screen but not sure if mine is just bugged. Going to go look at one in the store and see if it has the viewing angle problems also

I figured it was a given to give pros/cons on that type of question.
But yeah I like everything better but the screen which I'm thinking is a dud for my phone
I switched
I switched from the Note 4. I received the phone last Friday and used it for a couple of days.
My initial impressions is that the phone is light, the leather feels great and the camera is awesome. I thought that I would have issues with the buttons being on the back but I got used to them pretty quickly. The IR Blaster is a joke. I literally have to be right in front of my tv to work.
I however felt like something was missing and decided to go back to the Note 4. It wasn't as much of an upgrade although it's a great phone.
I went to a cookout on Saturday and people kept complementing me for my case, I had to tell them that it wasn't a case and that it was part of my phone!!
I'd say that you don't have to switch if you have the Note 4 but if you are a tech whore like me, you may.
My ir blaster works great

Oh OK, I got the note 4 a week ago, upgrade time, and being on galaxy 4 I was stoked to go with note, after a week with it, I felt it was too big, couldn't one hand swipe text, no root (huge deal breaker) and felt it was too overpriced for what it was, for the 700$ one could easily get a nice hybrid tablet that would trump the note... Now if it was rooted and unlocked might be a different story.... Anyways I took back note 4 and am awaiting the lg g4... great news LG has provided unlock.bin for EU version.... One step in right direction

Switched to the g4 and back to the Note 4.
Can't pint point what was missing. Just had a feeling that made me want to go back to my note. I don't use s pen much but it's nice to know that I have it there. Maybe that was it.

Camera definitely better, no major touchwiz lag, with the Note 4 pretty much had to install custom rom, I like the back buttons and lack of physical buttons. The S-Pen was cool at first but it was quicker for me to just pull up any other note app and just type a note than draw anything.

Interesting. I'm rooted on the note and using Nova. You make a good point about notes. An interesting thing about the G4 if you're coming from the Note is the size. You won't miss the Size

then I will clear it up for you: don't point new users to a toolkit - will you help them when they f up because they don't know what they did (and neither do you)? do you want people to stay dumb or to learn how to do stuff and understand the process??

if they f up when i specifically said "read and then use it" then they shouldnt be messing with their phone in the first place.. rather than posting this useless post you could have tried to "point the new user" in the right direction.. and the toolkit is easy to use and explains what every option does, i could have told him to use adb but that would have confused him even more

I am going to have to go with you on this one. If you read up well before you do anything it shouldn't be a problem. I have the motto of read 3 times then do just so you have a good grasp on what is going on. I was new to the ToolKit when I used it but after reading up and watching a couple vids on it, it was pretty easy and I had zero problems with the kit. I do however feel the need to tell people that if they are not comfortable or feel uneasy then you shouldn't do it nor should you try cause it can cause problems.
If you read up...
Read up on the guide stickied here.
Or in my signature.
There is no reason [zero] to use a toolkit on a nexus.

I have been rockin my Note 1 with vanilla Jelly Bean on it since it first released, and I am looking at getting an upgrade now. The G3 looks really nice (I will probably get it on AT$T), but then I heard of a possibly better G3 version coming out? So I am wondering, should I buyt he AT$T G3 now, or wait for the better version?
I think personally it's up to your personal choice. You might need to see it and test it in person. I came from the note 3 and don't miss a thing. Well except the stylus as I wrote a lot of notes and stuff. Speed and stuff like that not very noticeable. Lag might present itself,but that's because this is a brand new device. Overtime it'll go away. Design is pretty sexy. Specially the white one, camera is awesome. Speaker is loud. I would get it, so I did. Lol

The lg g3 prime is only going to come out in Korea so i wouldn't bother waiting just get it now unless you want a Korean version
I have a note 2. I'll definitely look into getting the G3 even if you buy it straight out its a lot cheaper than Samsung devices
At the price of $50 with 2 year contract, that is a no brainer for the quality of this device on launch!

Through today its $99 at best buy. You might be able to get the $50 gift card but it doesn't officially apply to the G3. I had to talk to a manager last night when I picked mine up. He wouldn't give me the $50 off, but allowed me to get $50 in accessories (when they are available) instead.
I'm coming from an S5, which, besides the camera, I didn't care for. Their new version of TouchWiz left a LOT to be desired. Its taking some getting used to with the G3, but I love it so far.

The screen maybe screen on note 3 is quite beautiful already in my opinion, also maybe the interface and lg apps. I do like LGs interface over TouchWiz, I had both Optimus g and g pro, Beauty shot on lg is better I think, great for pro pic haha. Note 3 is easily worth $400+ and the G3 is about 570 without contract from att

Sorry there is no root for the Note 4.
But as to being stuck with AT&T you can unlock your phone and use it with Tmobile.
I have done this, I had to may to get it unlocked but it works fine on Tmobile.

Had M9 unlocked and rooted the first day I had it. Development seems slim on XDA and it was very similar to M8 so exchanged for Note 4. No complaints the M9 is a good phone. But was just ready for a change.

Pics or it didn't happen, just saying.... note 4 still isn't rooted in att permanently and chain fire doesn't work, else we would all have root so if you wouldn't mind, screen shot of lp on note 4 att
I see you was on Brians DKX. If you havent purchased the AT&T phone yet, get the T-Mobile note 4, take it home, get code from unlockocker.net in 30 min, slide AT&T sim in, put unlock code in when it asks, odin lollipop, ill see you on DPop in the T-Mobile note 4 thread. Call and cancel the T-Mobile plan.
So far, I'm relatively happy with my Note 4, with one big caveat- no root.
You've probably read the advance press on the Note 5. Sounds nice, but no SD and non-removable battery makes it a non option for me. To boot, I don't believe future Notes will be rooted, unless you buy a developer's edition.
Whilst shopping through coming phones... I find nothing I'm looking for in a top-end phone. Does anyone have a clue for me? What's next? Does the Note 4 even HAVE a successor?
Maybe someone can disillusion me about the future- and I'd appreciate getting rid of my illusions, seriously. Thanks for any help.

This fall LG is coming out with a phablet with a like s-pen of their own. It will have a removable battery and sd card slot. If the pen preforms like the s-pen then I'm all in.

Outcaster pointed out an interesting possible alternative on the horizon, the LG G Pro 3.
If it's anything like the specs it's rumored to have (stylus, sd card, removable battery, 4 gig ram, etc.) LG may be getting the market share they're looking to glean this year.

It may be an awesome phone but I can't help but think Verizon will make them lock it down. Are other LG phones on Verizon unlocked?
Honestly not strongly considering messing with the Note 5 or any of the others. I'm on a Note 3 right now...maybe a Note 4 when a solid root method comes around?
I'll be tempted if it has a removable back/battery and card slot, but it's not a done deal unless it has more than 4gb ram. That's the only place my Note 3 makes me sad. It seems a waste to have made the leap the 64bit, and only have 4gb. How about 6-8? Any power consumption reasons this isn't likely? Or does it have to do with being strapped for space with an SOC?
The only other thing that might tip me over to a Note 5 would be a giant screen option. We're stuck without anything bigger than a Note on Verizon. My gf is vision impaired, and I was shocked to find out that none of the 6" phones were available with Verizon.
The bootloader is locked but they are all rootable.

Is the Note 4 the only unrootable phone out there? If it is that sucks because it's potentially a great phone. But bloatware and ads are a deal breaker for me.

Due to my wife's health problems I really need the s-pen. I need to take notes when I talk to health providers.
Note 3 still has not root on 4.4.4.
Which sucks cus I just bought one on that version.
Back to my Note 2 I go.
Root is only part of it. A custom recovery is what I care about most. Amazing how invaluable the nandroids of my note 2 have been over the last three years.
Why should a phone owner not be able to make a backup of their phone??
I need your help dear

Sorry I can't help. I dumped my Verizon Note 4 for a T-Mobile Note 4. One of the best moves I've made in a long time. Verizon can lock down their phones forever if they like- but I will NOT buy them. The service is much much better on Tmobile anyway.

Is the Note 4 the only unrootable phone out there? If it is that sucks because it's potentially a great phone. But bloatware and ads are a deal breaker for me.

I see you have a DE, so it's a moot point, but some people may be happy with disabling the bloatware instead of removing it and using Adguard. That's what I did with my roommates' retail Notes, and they're both quite pleased with the result. I'd hate my life without root and custom recovery, but to each their own.

Yeah custom recovery and root are a couple of the other reasons why I bought my DE. Viper4android is another. One of the best perks of my phone is the awesome battery life. I still don't know why mine is so good when so many retail phone owners are unhappy with it. Does the method of bloatware removal you mentioned help?

Idk what the successor is for me and I just got the Verizon version. The wife bought it for Christmas because I've been paying rent a center $100 a month for a few months for their T-MOBILE Note 4 and she was hoping to save me money. I'm reluctant to let go of the rent a center version because I've unlocked the boot loader, rooted and flashed a stock debloated deodexed Rom on it. Its does what I want it to and Verizons version wont let me. Very upsetting.
I have an at&t HTC one m8 also. I'm thinking of selling the two phones and trying to get a note 4 dev edition somewhere
I am interested in buying LG X Screen (K500Y). Apperantly there is no root for it and also for other phones in this family. And there won't be any if someone won't have motivation to look for it. So here is the thread and the first donation. From me, 15$.
So if you own a phone from this family and want root, this is your shot. Don't ever give any number here if you are not gonna pay. I don't want to be responsible for bringing such flagrant acts. I can't run after people asking what they've promised.
But of course, I don't think this thread will even get replies yet alone amount to something. But you have to try in life even though the result is obvious.
I'll plop $50 down for the Boost Mobile X Power LS755
This phone is great... very much worth it!

Indeed. That's why I am interested in it. But seems no else is. I won't be buying it if I can't root it... Shame. Such a beautiful mid-range phone.
It's ONLY $59 bucks on eBay and FREE SHIPPING.. well worth it with its 1.8 gigahertz OCTA Core processor 2 gig ram mediatek chipset the Boost mobile version which scores twice as much as the GSM Cricket model in benchmarks.
Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/131981455410

[/COLOR]It's well worth it even without Root I mean it's a quick little phone man and the battery lasts a long long time so well worth it even without root
Actually here says the app can root LG X Screen. Can anyone verify that?

Your phone is different. I need to know basic version. Anyone who has the basic version of these phones have tried this:

........ the report adds that LG will wait until the Mobile World Congress trade show in late February to officially reveal the X power 2 phone. It is supposed to have a 5.5-inch display, a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP wide-angle front camera and a 4500MAH BATTERY!

If you want a root for it I could do it if I had the device or a way to emulate stock ROM on PC. Or if you wanna try to find a similarity list? I have extensive experience with these devices.
LG gpad v410, Gpad vk810, LG vs840 (Lucid), LG vs980 (G2) (Verizon)
LG exceed and all the like devices.
Also rooted an LG Lucky on Straight Talk :silly:
I could more than likely manage it haha.

Like put whatever $$$$$ you want towards a device guys between me and my bro upstate we would ABSOLUTELY manage it at some point, there is no way its totally impossible, even ZTE bricks from WalMart can catch the flu haha.

I don't have the device. I want to buy it that's why I started this thread. But like the phone itself its unpopular. Shame, such a nice phone. Sorry I couldn't help supplying you anything.
Might wanna wait and get X Power 2 supposedly coming out within next couple months which will come with a bit higher specs and 4500MAH battery
---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------
If not, still great phone without root and that is a very rare thing for me to say... I picked up the GSM version and it's just as nice and smooth even though antutu Benchmark is half of the Boost mobile versions score of around 23000 GSM Cricket model versus 43,000 Boost mobile version
I understand the whole (fine without root) thing that is exactly how I feel about most HTC devices, however I would go insane just because I know how LG's work the easiest lol, am currently on an s6 edge+ and I feel like im in another country, touchwiz sucks!
is the bootloader can be unlocked , fastboot available ?

I would assume they replaced the Fastboot.img with a download mode -.-. & anything over Lollipop on LG is bootloader strapped down hard, I remember my Gpad v410, having to restore to KK just to root with KingRoot, then Loki patch twrp install, huge loop that was totally unnecessary
