Any electrical engineers around ? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Note 6 may be here at the time, but sure, we will win

I was going to look for after market parts, specifically the mother board which appears to be easily replaceable. Might be an expensive solution however less than a new phone. I finally decided to take it back and wait for the N3 DE.

Is the 8gb model faster?

So far I have used about 8 nexus 4's ( I keep ordering replacements to keep them ). And I don't know how to test this but all the 8gb just feel quite a bit faster.
Anyone else feel the same, also I tried stock and then rooted to cm10.1 mako all the same way.

I think that you might be feeling the placebo effect.

I know if there was a difference it could not be major but maybe storage is a different make or something. I want to find out what is the best test that could determine this.

You keep ordering replacements to keep them?? What are you doing with all that nexus 4? You only have 4 pockets

And people wonder why they are still waiting. I'm no stick up the @$$ but 8 come on dude I can see 1 or 2 but its obvious you are just buying them to jack up the price at the expense of others who need their device or really need an RMA.

Yes I'm the bad guy because I have to lie to Google to get more to help people in need. Who cares what happens with phone it makes somebody happy. Blame Google not me I am just a guy trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.
Anyway does anyone feel the 8gb is faster. Also just got a mercury slim case on amazon I have to say in white or black this is the best case hands down. I pretty much ordered every single one. Guess that makes me a douche because I gave a company money in exchange for a product.

It sounds like you're suggesting the nand chip is faster in the 8gb. We would need people to do file storage benchmark to confirm your claim.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I had a play with both model, and to me they felt the same...
The only way I can describe it is on the 16 once in a while it will lag for a second or two but on the 8gb I never get it.

wow
You found a way to screw a system that was meant to help people, for your own gain. That's what makes you the d-bag.
Anyways, not certain of any correlation. As another guy said, it may just be the placebo effect.
Somehow I get a feeling this is some kind of strange trolling.
Like those messages about 21xC devices without sparkling back.
Here is why: the OP goes through his 4-th device (implying he is getting replacements) and somehow manages to get his 16gb replaced with 8gb. Which is somewhat strange and I suppose such an event would trigger a very different post.

No actually it would not seeing how much I can sell one for. And if you guys don't think a lot of people are doing this now you lying to yourself. There are a ton of nexus 4's on eBay for sale buy one now and sell yours when you get it maybe you even make a profit.
My nexus 4 and my girlfriends nexus were free and that was my goal. There is no excuse for not having a nexus 4 if you really wanted one. I'm so sure I somehow jammed the system all across the world. Sorry that life has not been fair to your pursuit for a nexus 4. I'm sure someone starving in a poor country could feel your pain, I mean what a tragedy. Maybe I should just call the police and turn myself in.
Then when you break your nexus 4 that is super fragile you will wonder why you even bothered.

and the douche-baggery continues!!!!!! although now i'm thinking its more cheapness than douche-baggery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trying to cash in at the expense of others...
& to the question of 8 vs 16 gig performance... figure that out yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're not worth the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And somehow I worse than the guy that orders 1 nexus 4 and has it replaced 3 times because it has a "flaw". Knowing damn well this is a 300 dollar phone and expecting iPhone 5 quality. I mean does anyone remember all you guys who kept replacing your nexus 7.
All of this is driven by hype and I blame Google for not making more so you can get it in your hand and realize its not all that and your tears were not needed.

Well actually to be honest I didn't do them at all to sell. Kinda a long story but I ordered 4 and 1 replacement each. So its not like I ordered 1 and did this 7 times which technically can't be done due to time.

How would you expect to accomplish that with a sealed phone? Maybe a piug-in to the USB?

The same way every other battery case for every other phone works... Just like you said. It's a case that adds a touch of bulk and plugs into the USB port.

Cool! I didn't know they made those. The only ones I have ever seen were for phones with replaceable batteries and came with replacement back covers.

That's all I've ever seen too. I think one that uses the charging port would be too awkward since it's on the side - one of the huge selling points of this phone is it's edge-to-edge screen/super slim bezel. Another is just how slim it is overall.. so I doubt there's much of a market for something that will bulk up the phone that much, and thus not much of a chance that something like that will be produced anytime soon. Especially since it's already touted as having a fairly long battery life.

Nexus has otg but it needs power for it. I have an external battery source so it wouldn't be an issue. I am absolutely bored of my s4. Nothing new is going on with it. Because of the locked bootloader it is an issue. I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of my s4. I'm done with branded phones. If my s4 doesn't sell now then ill just buy the n5 whenever it arrives in October.

This was what happened when I went from my Galaxy Nexus to S3, although it was an international version so it didn't have problem with locked boot loader. I think if you have gotten the international version there would be plenty of roms to play with.

There are roms to play with but I just don't feel that I am getting everything out of this phone that I could. I haven't even flashed a rom in weeks. I don't feel like I'm using a quad core because of lag. I played a few games and I lagged. I am just going to wait for the n5 and swap out.

Don't think crack screen and scratch rim replacement can be claim under the warranty even if you have not rooted the n3.

About 200 euro`s roughly with assembly i guess for the screen, there are many kinds of cases these days from 10 euro till whatever you want to pay for it. A naked phone is only cool till you drop it

what kind of phone should i switch to?

hey I've been out of the loop for awhile but my upgrade is coming up within the next few days and wanted to know what was a good phone to get with Verizon I wanna get something that's good with a lot of development support and having a sd card slot is a must. I love the galaxy but they're hard to root and unlock.
Something you can root easily with decent power.

Can you unlock the s7 bootloader though? And when does the newest nexus phone come out do you know?
The pixel phone line seems to have replaced nexus line
As for bootloader unlock on s7 I'm not sure try googling it

I may be mistaken, but don't all of the nexus phones lack an sdcard slot? Google are the ones who have been pushing to eliminate sdcard slots....
I, too, despair for when I need to shop for a new phone. I require an sdcard slot, a removable battery, and an unlockable bootloader. Do any current-production or announced phones meet those requirements?

I know. I end up swapping batteries once every day or two, depending on what I'm doing. There's never been a phone that lived up to the battery life hype. I'm not going to be unscrewing the case and prying the damn battery out on a routine basis, nor am I willing to accept the excrement of a company that thinks it's reasonable to treat its customers like children.
