So while I'm not a huge fan of our phone the fact that it has an IR blaster is a win... downloaded Peel and it worked flawless, Super excited

I did too. I like the V20 better.
I did trade in my Note 7 for device, my only gripe with the phone after using it for an extended period of time is the size. I think had LG taken .5 inches off of it the device would be really close to perfect. Just havent had to use two hands for a phone in a while. IR blaster big +
Yup.. much fun to be had in bars.

Or can it mess up/burn out the LED?
It CAN burn out the LED, but don't leave it on for extended periods and you'll be fine.
I only use it occasionally. So is it worth keeping or should I uninstall it?
So far I've only used it as a torch for say... an hour tops? Constant.
I would keep it, they come in handy especially if you drop your keys beside the car seat at night and you can't see. Look into the galaxy nexus flashlight on the play store doesn't take a lot of space and works well.

Is that one recommended then? At the moment am using 'Simple Torch', but if that's better or something, then I'll switch.

Not necessarily recommended but works well on nexus devices, widget looks good and had a lock screen widget. +it doesn't take up a lot of space

Just got my g2 this am and its not that I'm disappointed I just don't know if its worth the full retail I paid over my nexus4. I'm moving to India in a few months so lte does not really matter to me.
Anyone come from a n4 to the g2 and have any insight on what you are enjoying more about the n4?
*not a fan of the lg skin but figure its just a matter of time till we have aosp roms.
Picture comparison between the two

I am considering the same thing. Can you post pics of them together? I may wait for the nexus 5 but think i like the buttons on the back and bigger battery. I hope the bootloader is able to be unlocked.
Sure give me a few and I will grab some pictures.
Overall the nexus feels better in the hand to me, love the back glass feel, I don't mind dealing with stock for a couple weeks as long as that bootloader becomes unlockable and we get some aosp action.
Re: the buttons on the back, I don't mind em one bit and actually like em but I don't use volume up/down much on my phone anyway.
My phone is on back order, but I'll be giving my wife my Nexus 4 so I can't comment on that decision, but I'm definitely keeping the G2 for myself. I played with one for a few minutes and I'm sold.

Thanks!! Really loving the bezels. I see you hide your onscreen keys on the Nexus.... Decisions, Decisions. I may wait to see if the new nexus is based off of this.
I've had a nexus 4 one and s4 in the last 6 months and now g2.. loving the g2, screen is better on the g2, way better battery life, snappier processor better camera.. Also aosp Roms will come in time... That said I will undoubtedly get the next nexus as I'm a gadget junkie.

I had them all too, but I find myself back with the nexus. Mainly for the simple things. I love the onscreen buttons and cyanogenmod mms with the quick reply and functions. I would love the battery life and better camera though, .
Wow they really are close in size! The nexus screen looks great with the buttons hidden. Does the G2 not allow 3rd party wallpapers appear behind transparent notification bar and buttons at the bottom?

It hides the soft keys and emulates them at the same time.. I have mine set to display when I swipe up on the bottom edge.

Is it me or is the IR Blaster on the Note 4 substantially better than previous Galaxy phones? Or my LG G3 for that matter.
Due to the location of my media cabinet in my living room, I used to have do some creative maneuvering to get the IR blasters on my previous phones to work. With the Note 4, I'm finding that simply pointing in the general direction is good enough to work.
the ir blaster has like 3 times the range of my moms G2. its great.
Yes I agree it's so much better. I had an LG G3 and the ir blaster on the note 3 & 4 work flawlessly compared it. I was never able to control my devices with it.

I don't know if it has 3 times the range because my room is not large enough to test. LOL
However I can say there is a day and night difference in the range compared to my
Note 3, with the Note 3 I had to move my recliner 5-6 feet closer to the TV to get
the remote to working consistently but with the Note 4 I can control the TV even if
I am at the far wall of my front room which is about 8 feet further than my recliner
is located.
Where is the remote on the note 4?

Use the smart remote application which came preloaded on your device for the IR blaster.
Download Samsung watchon. Much better than the stock smart remote

Most all the ir remote control apps work really good on the Note 4.
Here are my favorites which can be found at the google play store.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabanka.remote.control.tv

There are a lot more to choose from at the play store.
Check em out!
Good luck!
Actually I think the blaster on the Note 3 was a tad stronger.

Don't think so....I have a note 3 and note 4...note 4 is definitely much better and stronger....
I agree I had both note 3 and G3 and this is the first phone I don't even need to point at the TV and it works. I point it anywhere and it gets signal. What a great phone.

There are a few different versions of Samsung Watchon, the latest
one with the most features is "Watchon Plus", it's also at the
google play store.
Just do a search for Watchon Plus at the play store.
I agree the IR blaster on the note4 is leaps and bounds better then the N3. I can sit on my bed with the note pointed straight up and in changes channels. on my N3 it had to be pointed directly at it. I don't know if the distance has been increased or just the spread of the beam has been increased
Anyone coming from the note 5? Was it worth it? Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

My wife has the Note 5 and between the two, I still like mine better. Its just a better footprint overall.
I've got both. I don't see any difference in performance except when I compared them in Gear VR. The Note 5 was way much smoother for some reason (maybe something dragging down the S7E in the background..?) picture quality is slightly better on S7E but it feels like the Note 5 has slightly larger field of view.
Otherwise it's up to everyone personal preference design-wise.

Hey guys, quick question, I know the 10 doesn't have an IR blaster anymore so I'm just curious what the plastic grey part is at the top of the phone is for if it has no IR blaster anymore (it looks like the IR blaster used to look)? Is it purely decorative lol? Thanks!

Hm, I guess that's something HTC has over Samsung!
It's the not-an-IR-blaster.
Anyone else disappointed with the removal of IR blasters from these devices?
The one on the S6 Edge was super powerful. I could bounce it off the wall and turn off the TV on the other side of the room 20 feet away!
And speaking of IR if you point the camera on the 10 at something reflective you will see the IR laser autofocus assist illuminating. It will be in your pictures too! That's kind of disappointing. I have yet to take pictures of some hot metal pipes but I suspect they will have that ominous purple glow telltale sign of lack of IR filter!

Mines like that at work due to signal not reaching into the building. I have Wi-Fi calling enabled so I often wondered if it really tries to keep more than 1X going.
