[QUOTE="Baron Rubik, post: 265496, member: 2280"] Samsung are a pain in the @rse. I love the hardware and quality, but the company really spoil the experience. Latest trick Samsung did to me was they pushed an update to a 2.5yr old phone. Supposedly an upgrade but it completely breaks the bootloader, so now the device is a nightmare if you turn it off. Approx 1 in 10 boots now works, and if the screen goes off the processor shuts down. Contacted Samsung and they deny it being their update, and just keep telling you the motherboard is shot. Luckily I found this app 'Wakelock' [url]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl[/url] It keeps the cpu from sleep so the device is at least able to be used again. Read the reviews in this app - its had 100k downloads and most are Note4 users, and these are just the ones who didn't throw their device away and buy a Note 8. I've tried factory resets but it's the bootloader thats goosed. This has to be a planned obsolescence push, not that I want to sound paranoid. Who would update a 2 1/2 yr old device unless to kill it off and force some new purchases. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy Samsung. I'm tied in on a sim only plan to this device for another 6-7 months but I think I'll get a pixel or something different next time. Vote with your wallets - stop buying Samsung. I thought about rooting this, but if the bootloader is toast it isn't going to help I don't think. At least it works again with 'Wakelock'. Just don't power off or run out of juice.
