I love the staff writer who writes about our collective wondrous Galaxy Note 4!
We loves the stories on the only phone that still matters…not the Note 5, not the Note 7 or S7..but the Note 4!
I absolutely love my Note 4!
They need to skip the other versions and just go back to manufacturing Note 4.
Question: does this only work for N910F or will it also work for N910T (T-Mobile variant)? Thanks to whomever responds.
You are being disrespectful to the author. We want articles about the Note 4. If you can’t be nice, go away please.
How about the Verizon variant?
Loved my Note 3 and love my Note 4. Want to upgrade phone but nothing out there as good as my Note 4. If it ain’t broke why fix it? Samsung, you have shot yourself in the foot and continue to let your supporters down. Please develop a new Note 4.2!
Locked Boot Loader yes. Most don’t know about that. Which is why I sold mine and went with 910F international version unlocked. That is the workaround. Flash a custom ROM and you are good to go.
One comment about the comment made about needing Nougat. Absolutely not.
Let me suggest I am very happy on Kitkat 4.4.4. Your need to require a constant upgrade does not mean we do. Kitkat fits my needs nicely.
