Note 4 swapped out. - Galaxy Note 4 General

I've got a Verizon N4. I have had it since *October 23rd*edit. I haven't had any issues with lag until two days ago. Yesterday it got to the point where I couldn't even turn on my screen or navigate anywhere. When I did a hard reset the phone would get stuck in the Verizon boot screen until I pulled the battery. The phone got catastrophic lag twice yesterday and locked in the boot screen twice. I took the phone into a Verizon store and they swapped it out for a new one no questions asked even though it was past the grace period. I was worried since it wasn't showing any issues at the store but that wasn't an issue. Hopefully this new one won't have any issues. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up in case there are more similar issues.

September?

[Q] Droid 4 - Bad Screens common?

Just bought this D4 last week off CraigsList, nearly mint, had no issues. The first week the screen went dark but phone was still obviously on (flashing light and keyboard always lighting when pulled out), found how to force restart, and it was back to normal. A few days later (last Wed I believe), it did it again and now I can't get it back for the life of me. I only bought the thing for $100 anyway so not a HUGE deal but is this common with this device? I'm tempted to force wipe but at this point, not confident that will do anything..
In regards to it being common, seems I can find a TON of **** online, but not necessarily here on XDA for this issue..

att nexus 6

I have a att nexus 6 I bought for full price on on Friday then 21. It runs pretty fine for their most part and activated like it should. They only problem I'm having is randomly at times they phone just shuts itself off. An I'm wondering if this is the bug that was making them send the phones back or what? Yes I have unlocked the boot loader and put twrp on as well. I'm just wondering if I should take it back and get a replacement.

You should take it back, that's not the software bug that caused AT&T to have to return their phones.
This was actually happening on a decent amount of phones, even after flashing a stock image people were still having issues with it. I would take it back and get a replacement.

[Q] My droid turbo locks up and needs restarted constantly.

I've had my turbo since December. It would restart every now and then but now its getting ridiculous. I've wiped the cache many times and did an FDR. It hung right after it rebooted after the FDR. It seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
I'm sorry I can't be of much help man but I'd return it since you should still be under warranty. You've done all the things that should solve the problem so it seems the bug cannot be user fixed.
[Some Moto phones just seem to have the random reboot bug. My girlfriend's Droid Mini did the same thing... we just upgraded her to a Turbo.
I bought a new Turbo at the same time in March; it stopped charging three weeks later, just days after the exchange period expired.
The first "like new" replacement from VZWhad a spot where the nylon back wasn't properly attached and the rough edge was exposed. The second one, received days later, had the reboot bug. Even after a factory reset, it randomly rebooted.
The third replacement came directly from Moto. The Moto rep claimed it was provided as "like new" because it had been removed from the box by Moto techs, examined to make sure it worked properly, then reboxed without the charger and manuals. (He said the VZW replacements were display models or returns that bad been refurbished by the carrier.)
It seems to be free of functional and cosmetic defects. I've had the phone a few weeks and it's working fine.
Thanks guys. I think I may be returning this week. I appreciate the input.

[Q] Nexus 6 being glitchey

I just got my nexus 6, two and a half weeks ago. I am coming from a Verizon galaxy nexus, so I'm pretty good at unlocking, rooting, installing roms, and the like. I bought it at best buy because I broke my gn, and being they are the only ones that had any in stock, and I need a phone or im lost, I was on vacation visiting family. So I got the none branded one called Verizon got it up in running in five minutes after the 20 min wait to talk to someone.
The first few days I played with it as is never had a problem. So I unlocked it, rooted it and still not any problems. Then a few days later I noticed the speaker would crackle not big thing just noticed it. After that though another weird thing started happening if I answered the phone then decided to use speaker phone i could not hear the other person and they could not hear me, and going back off speaker didn't help till we hung up and recalled.. It does not do it ever time just sometimes.. I had not installed a rom just kept it Google 5.1.1, I really like the new Android. But I did unrooted, relock, factory reset. Then did it all again. Still get some of the problems but not as much. This last problem really pist me off. I had been in 4 states and service from Verizon was great in all but one of them. The one that it didn't not work in was in Missouri not even when I got to Springfield. It was late at night so none of the ton Verizon stores I seen were open, I could dial but not have net service. I tried restarting phone even did a factory restore after trying everything I could think of. That reset screwed me though because it made it a useless since I had no net and was unable to set it back up.. Also I couldn't stop at the ton of Verizon stores in the morning bc they didn't open till later in the day and I needed to get home. The weird thing is almost as soon as I crossed into OK the phone loaded up and started working internet and all.
So my question is, is this normal with these phones? And is their any way to make the radio better? It was on global in that setting so I switched to USA. Still seems to work fine now at my house.
Any help or tips would be much appreciated. Or should I try and do a warranty through Motorola?
I really like this phone and its a major improvement over the gn since we at Verizon got skipped with nexus 5. This battery is a beast 12+hrs doing a crap load of stuff on it rocks

The speaker issue is definitely a known issue. RMA is the only solution.
Crap that really sucks. Thank you though for the reply. Do you know with the RMA if I have to send the phone back first and wait, or will they send a replacement first? Also do they replace with a new one or reman?
I was really hoping it was something in the settings

May luck out and get new but at this point in the cycle probably refurb. Have to send in first or have creditcard they can hit for what it worth now to send first. Credit hit will be deleted once they show it coming back.

Fixable? Sell for Parts? Galaxy Note 8 (AT&T)

I've had this phone since just a few months after it first came out. As you can see from the pictures in the link at the bottom, that's a problem. Funny thing is, it was like that for several months, never bothered me really because I always had my case on, it also didn't seem to affect anything.
So, a couple days ago, thinking because of its age and everything, I got fed up with the somewhat laggy behavior and battery draining issues. So I researched for a couple hours or so and contemplated getting the Galxy Note 10+. Well, after a while I stopped looking into it, I figured I could wait a little bit longer, but just as I set the idea aside, my note 8 started acting up. Battery started draining unusually quick (or appeared to) and also randomly got inaccurate readings for available battery life, screen started to turn off, seemed to be random, and only way to get it back on would be to plug it into a charger and do a forced restart. But, for the most part, the phone works, you could go several minutes to a couple hours without issue.
Since I couldn't trust this thing anymore, I went to the AT&T store for my note 10+, was hoping to get a decent trade in credit, but the rep helping me told me this is something that happens when the battery ends up expanding?, she asked another rep to see if it's acceptable, told me they'd give me like $36 for it, I said forget it and kept it.
Anyone know if all it really would be is the battery? Am I better off selling it for Parts? Or is it possibly a not so hard fix with replacement parts?
