I had 5 note 4 phones still use one, the boot loop is caused by the eMMC chip getting unstuck from the board . you have to open the phone, remove the board and put a small metal rectangle between the eMMC chip and the phone housing. so when you put it all back together the metal peace will apply pressure against the eMMC
Sometimes is the battery One day i was using a social app (Amino) and i made an action that is very heavy for any phone, so i did it in the note 4 with like 26% of battery life and...the phone just power of. Then, i power it on and anything works fine, so yeah the battery could cause the problem
It's March 30, 2022 and I'm still using my Note 4 since I bought it new in 2014. Other than being a bit slower, my phone still works great and I'm hoping it will last even longer as I use my phone for just about everything. I especially love being able to take notes with it where I use my S-pen to jot down a grocery list or make other notes when I don't have pen and paper handy. I also love the fact that I can replace the battery or expand the storage plus it has a phone jack which u can't get on the new phones as far as I know. Yep, Note 4 is still a great phone!
this was my 4th one .. I started using it when it was released.. sold it and bought it again after returning the Note 7 .. have decided to keep it since it was one of the best phones for me
yeah I sold my initial note 4 when I got the Note 7 .. after returning the Note 7 I went back to the Note 4 and kept it since that time . Sadly it got blocked and now in search of a new one
Try to open a case with eBay, it's worth a shot. Try the "Item did not arrive as described" spheal as it does say in the description it should be "fully functional and working." Hey on another note (no pun intended) it was your video, the Note4 in 2019 video, a couple years ago that got me into buying my own Note4 in January 2019. I still use it today with an extended 7500mah battery. Recently I've been buying old Note4's and swapping parts and motherboards to build another backup phone and it's been awesome. Of course it's slow but functionality has always been my priority. When the time comes I'll get a Note9. I guess I'm trying to say that you got me started with the Note4, so thanks man!
The battery is too weak to hold a charge, especially when doing a process like taking a picture or downloading a big file. But it will work perfectly if it's connected to a charger. I've replaced countless Galaxy Note 4 batteries.
Replacement batteries are the biggest thing i miss in modern phones asking with the headphone jack too but that's another story, at least i can but budget phones with headphone jacks to use as media players.
I haven't used my Note 4 in about 2 years. I still have it. It's in much better condition than the one you just purchased off of eBay. But sad to say, it does still suffer for from that boot lag. But it doesn't have any burn or audio issues or busted pen or anything else wrong. I'm hoping you can get your full refund back. Hands down, the Note 4 is still my favorite phone of all time.
I was actually excited to open the package.. This video was supposed to be a positive WOW video with nostalgia of the Note 4. Sadly it made a hard turn , hopefully I will be able to return it with no issues so I can go buy a functioning note 4. I knew it was not on the best shape but they mentioned it was all functional with no issues, so my goal was to use the hardware on this one and put it on my other note 4 that is in mint condition
Hi Mario. As an alternative to the fix shared by silviu mihai, here's how I approached this issue if the "cardboard fix" still fails to sort out the problem. - Install a free Android app called Wake Lock - Power Manager by draken. It's a proven solution to the Galaxy Note 4 boot loop issue My 2nd alternative fix is not an easy one. It took me some trials & errors but I did found it helpful. Here are the steps: - Disassemble the Note 4 down to the motherboard (there are loads of videos here in TH-cam on how to do this) - Tools you'll need include: a heatgun with digital display & an infrared thermometer - Heatgun settings: 200 degrees & air flow at 5 L/min * Focus the heat of the heatgun in and around the eMMC for 1 to 2 minute but no more than 2 minutes as you might "fry" the chip and totally "kill" it - Using the infrared thermometer, check the temperature of the eMMC while you're applying the heat to it. - Make sure to heat the eMMC up to 100 degrees C for at least a minute. This causes the solder balls of the eMMC to reflow on the motherboard causing a good bond between the two surface. - Let it cool down. It doesn't take long for it to cool down. - Reassemble the phone Hopefully, this will bring your Galaxy Note 4 back to life or a useful condition. To all Galaxy Note 4 owners who will attempt and use this fix, good luck!
Thanks for sharing , I am sure this will be helpful for many people . I ended up returning this note 4 as it was beyond repair.. there were other issues with in-call speaker not working .
Man, you sure did get robbed there. I brought a brand note 4 about a year ago. Still works great, item was like brand new. Only $130. Maybe you can make 1 good phone out of the two.
that was my plan , switch the hardware from this one to my mint note 4 that got blocked by Samsung . Hopefully returning it wont be a problem and I can find another working Note 4.
To my experience, My note 4 gets into boot loop sometimes after coming on main screen , when it failes to detect IMEI no. when it could not load imei, it restarts. . some time it keeps on restarting during boot when it reaches samsung logo screen. what i do is ,go into recovery mode ( by pressing volume up+power+home button). & clear the cache. since i also installed TWRP recovery so am able to clear Delvik cache, cache . & then when i restart. the phone successfully boots in to main screen. i have more latest phone of 2020. but the feel & user experience with note 4 is simply amazing. so i still prefer to use it over my more latest phones. Recently i installed on it custom rom names = Simple Rom V6C . its based on andriod 6.0.1 & its simply amazing with fast speed & much much better battery life than original samsung software. any one who feels that their note 4 started to lag & has less backup battery. must try this rom. i m satisfied with the above custom rom. one more thing. now with this rom, i have not noticed any bootloops & random restarts so far. even after many days. Good to go.
Yeah , is hard to find a mint condition at a decent price. I was really hopping I could at least make this one work as they mentioned it was functioning fine. Hope the next one works. Thanks for stopping by !!
I've had my Note Edge since 2015.. still works pefectly, S-Pen in excellent condition nothing wrong with it; I babied it since I got it. Only thing I did do was send it to Samsung a couple years ago because it got locked out with an email that I no longer used. Didn't remember the PIN or password. Glad I did when I did because the phone was out of warranty so guess I got lucky. But yeah, love the phone plan to keep it as a collectible still looks awesome with that side curved screen
I always wanted to try out the note edge , I regret not getting it a few years ago when I had planned to do it . Sadly even T-Mobile will no longer be supporting the note edge and the note 4. Thank you for being a two year subscriber :)
@@MayitoTek I've seen a few for sale on Ebay/Amazon, but they're getting harder to find. And that sucks, I think they're still good on Cricket wireless (AT&T). And no problem man, I only buy note series so learned a few things from watching your channel like remapping the power key to turn on the flashlight
@@MayitoTek I just got an update for my t-mobile note 4 8.19mb size. I heard they were sending out security patches for the note 5 and s6, but didn't think it would make it to the note 4
I still have mine. On it's third battery, it's a shame anker didn't make them anymore cuz i gotta go through some shady battery maker next time i want to replace it. God i miss replaceable batteries, $20 to completely reinvigorate your phone, i wouldn't have it now if it wasn't replacement ready. I don't have it connected to phone wifi, just home wifi, so use it as like a media player, mp3 player, podcast player, etc. And i read in it because i prefer the flat screen and square edges to the current curved phones for reading. It works just fine, a little laggy but that's fine for what it does. The camera is still nice, the screen is high def enough, non 3D games play fine, the speaker is great for a phone and i really like how it is on the back so it send sound up instead of trying the side when playing face down. Works great for what it does, i can download hours of podcasts and TH-cam video/audio to take with me and i can add movies or tv shows otg or download them with the Netflix app.
I believe I figured out why the audio didn't work, when you scrolled the media back and forth and then it went red, I believe the phone thinks there are headphones plugged in at all times which is why you're not hearing any sound from speaker or earpiece, which is a hardware issue, I believe it has something to do with the water damage.
i am still using samsung note 4 since 2016 & also i have note 3 from from 2015 . My note 3 back cover got sticky like yours of note 4 may be due to hot weather here & some back cover. what i did recently, just mixed washing surf powder in water in some utensil & put my note 3 back in it for few hrs. after that took old tooth brush & rubbed the back gently. To my surprise. all of that stickiness gone immediately & back cover was giving a shining look like it was on day 1. you may try this.
You have no idea how badly i want companies to release "nostalgia electronics" or something. Like a brand new phone with current gen hardware but it's in the Note 4 shape, i love the shape and look. I would want Microsoft to make xbox 360 shells with new Xbox one guts because the 360 controller was by far the best xinput controller (DS4 is best overall at least until i try the dualsense, i expect to be buying a few DS4's before they are off the shelves).
There's a tool that you should be able to get onto stock firmware. As long as the Samsung logo displays there should be life in the phone, do some research on Odin. The Exynos version of the note 4 is kinda rare. I would also recommend pluging it into a fast charger cuz this phone supports 15 watt fast charging and the battery in this phone is about 8 to 7 years old.
Is anyone else getting an update from T mobile. Any idea what is being updated since I thought note 4 is no longer supported. I am holding off on installing the update.
Yes I got an update. For about a week or so my phone was telling me no service. I went to The Metro by Tmobile dealer near me ( not the corporate store) and he told me that the new 5g upgraded towers are not compatible with Samsungs made before the S8. I was devastated. It meant I had to spend some unexpected money on a new cell phone when my Note was working perfectly well. So anyway he was wack. My note 4 started working again after about a week and then I got notice of this update. I figure it has something to do with the new system upgrades because people are going to raise holy hell about their phones being shut off suddenly.
Don't worry, my Galaxy Note 4 have a battery of another phone (Galaxy Grand Prime) attached in the back with a lot of wires, a dip switch and like 1 kg of silicone, but it works really fine! With a custom ROM i can play Asphalt 9 in multiplayer without lag or things like that (i'm from México so if i make any mistakes writting please srry xd)
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 still works in 2020 Internal 32GB Hard Drive on the Phone with Removal Battery also with a Micro SD Card Slot can insert up to 1TB Micro SD
@@stevesibaja3123 yeah still using mine, though they are becoming pretty rare in my area. Im on my 3rd one, but all the non samsung batteries are pretty shit. pretty much toast in less than a year
I tried cleaning the back of mine once but it just removed or exposed whatever coating is used on it, leaving it sticky afterwards. The stickyness of this one probably came from when they dropped it in water
I should have sent you my note4, it's more like yours except it works. It had the power on issues, but I added a force start app and it has to be left on for the most part.
@@MayitoTek fingers crossed 🤞🏽 I'm tempted to use mine now after watching this to see if it works properly. I can't sell it but maybe it could be gifted.
its a battery issue, ur battery is not retaining enough juice to boot the phone, conenct the phone to a direct power source (no spike guard) and use it. Unplug it and the phone is dead. Its not a mobile device anymore, its a now a plugged-in handheld device, unless u replace the battery but note 4 batts are hard to come by too.
Just my own humble opinion. Who does know Samsung Note 20 sport a snapdragon 865 and 865+? But well, speed vs longest battery lifespan, I chose battery lifetspan. For the sake of removable battery, I still stick to my main phone, note 4. And my monthly salary is about USD 12k. And I still keep buying In used old note 4 as spare phones in case the main note 4 is spoil.
yeah I was hopping I was going to be able to do all of that with this one , but I ended up getting a bad unit ... I cants wait until I get my hands on another working Note 4 :)
Great! Welcome to 2021. I have 3 note 4's. Love em. Hate to see them going obsolete with the new system upgrades for 5G. I have the Original which is my best one, and I have a Ebay Purchase which has become a Franken-Note after all the repairs and parts I changed. And I have a Jail-broken Ebay purchased phone that is upgraded and seems nothing like my original. ABOUT EBAY NOTE 4 PHONES. I own 3 but have purchased 7. Sent back several. I am very doubtful that most of the phones are real NOTE 4's. They are very very cleaver clones. Impossible even to detect. However I discovered that the clones cannot stream to my monitor using a HDMI Cable which is something I do for gaming. And that is why a sent a few back until I gave up and kept the Franken-Note.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 4.. I have bought it on 2015 year I used very rarely my note gets heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥 up don't know what's the problem do you have any solution for it
This is what I normally do: 1. Buy a note 4 from ebay with at least a working display (around 35$), motherboard/emmc broken doesn't matter 2. Buy an intact motherboard from aliexpress (around 25$) 3. Replace motherboard, putting a small cardboard or better between emmc chip/SoC and housing ( th-cam.com/video/jLPHWtb0StI/w-d-xo.html ) 4. Flash latest modem and bootloader 5. Flash LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) for note 4 Now you have a nice responsive phone that won't make you want to buy a modern one.
The sound issue is clear that something is stuck inside the headphone jack, the phone thinks that you are using headphones all the time. Maybe a grain of rice??! still using my note 4 btw :)
Ah!!! Didnt think about that!! It does look live this device was exposed to some liquid and the fact that the back cover is sticky tells me that the inside of the audio jack may have some of that residue which may trigger the phone to think headphones are connected.. or possible a gran or rice 🍚 🤔
it is not that bad ... even 6 years later I still use it for all notes and it follows me next to my Mi Max 3. better buy a good one and open a case on paypal or ebay ... I bought one last year after my Note 4 had crashed before.
I agree! That was my goal , to replace my last note 4 that got blocked by Samsung .. that phone was working like a charm. Glad to hear is still doing good !!!
One more thing. For such a note enthusiast you don't seem like you are willing to look under the hood of your note. You are not a Note man until you have changed the screen or motherboard or something. Earpiece maybe. Charging port. Hell change the back, and get a new pen.
@@robbiepayne97 do you play emulators on it? how do DS games play? i'm thinking of getting this and pairing it with a bluetooth controller that can fit it in portrait mode. note 4's basically go for the same price as a used DSi where I'm from, but compared to that this can do psp too.
I am deciding if I drive to Wyle, there is a lady selling one in good condiction for $100 with the original box 😅.. they all seem to be selling between $100 to $150 here in Dallas.. I am mostly concern with getting stuck with a defective one, just like this one 😑
I had 5 note 4 phones still use one, the boot loop is caused by the eMMC chip getting unstuck from the board . you have to open the phone, remove the board and put a small metal rectangle between the eMMC chip and the phone housing. so when you put it all back together the metal peace will apply pressure against the eMMC
O.O Tnx man. This comment deserves a ping!
I just get a original battery and the boot loop stopped 🙂
Sometimes is the battery
One day i was using a social app (Amino) and i made an action that is very heavy for any phone, so i did it in the note 4 with like 26% of battery life and...the phone just power of.

Hi Mario. As an alternative to the fix shared by silviu mihai, here's how I approached this issue if the "cardboard fix" still fails to sort out the problem.
- Install a free Android app called Wake Lock - Power Manager by draken. It's a proven solution to the Galaxy Note 4 boot loop issue
My 2nd alternative fix is not an easy one. It took me some trials & errors but I did found it helpful.
Here are the steps:
- Disassemble the Note 4 down to the motherboard (there are loads of videos here in TH-cam on how to do this)
- Tools you'll need include: a heatgun with digital display & an infrared thermometer
- Heatgun settings: 200 degrees & air flow at 5 L/min
* Focus the heat of the heatgun in and around the eMMC for 1 to 2 minute but no more than 2 minutes as you might "fry" the chip and totally "kill" it
- Using the infrared thermometer, check the temperature of the eMMC while you're applying the heat to it.
- Make sure to heat the eMMC up to 100 degrees C for at least a minute. This causes the solder balls of the eMMC to reflow on the motherboard causing a good bond between the two surface.
- Let it cool down. It doesn't take long for it to cool down.
- Reassemble the phone
Hopefully, this will bring your Galaxy Note 4 back to life or a useful condition.

😁.. I sent it back today.. hopefully I won't be having issues getting my money back.. the search will continue
@@MayitoTek fingers crossed 🤞🏽
I'm tempted to use mine now after watching this to see if it works properly. I can't sell it but maybe it could be gifted.
Please add a link to that other video about the boatloader issue?
I made that video a long time ago where I talked about some of the issues that we got with the note 4.

its a battery issue, ur battery is not retaining enough juice to boot the phone, conenct the phone to a direct power source (no spike guard) and use it. Unplug it and the phone is dead. Its not a mobile device anymore, its a now a plugged-in handheld device, unless u replace the battery but note 4 batts are hard to come by too.
Just my own humble opinion. Who does know Samsung Note 20 sport a snapdragon 865 and 865+? But well, speed vs longest battery lifespan, I chose battery lifetspan. For the sake of removable battery, I still stick to my main phone, note 4. And my monthly salary is about USD 12k. And I still keep buying In used old note 4 as spare phones in case the main note 4 is spoil.
i use my note 4 since 2015 or 16, still good phone, it does everything what i need :-)
yeah I was hopping I was going to be able to do all of that with this one , but I ended up getting a bad unit ... I cants wait until I get my hands on another working Note 4 :)
Great! Welcome to 2021. I have 3 note 4's. Love em. Hate to see them going obsolete with the new system upgrades for 5G. I have the Original which is my best one, and I have a Ebay Purchase which has become a Franken-Note after all the repairs and parts I changed. And I have a Jail-broken Ebay purchased phone that is upgraded and seems nothing like my original. ABOUT EBAY NOTE 4 PHONES. I own 3 but have purchased 7. Sent back several. I am very doubtful that most of the phones are real NOTE 4's. They are very very cleaver clones. Impossible even to detect. However I discovered that the clones cannot stream to my monitor using a HDMI Cable which is something I do for gaming. And that is why a sent a few back until I gave up and kept the Franken-Note.
My Samsung Galaxy Note 4.. I have bought it on 2015 year I used very rarely my note gets heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥 up don't know what's the problem do you have any solution for it
This is what I normally do:
1. Buy a note 4 from ebay with at least a working display (around 35$), motherboard/emmc broken doesn't matter
2. Buy an intact motherboard from aliexpress (around 25$)
3. Replace motherboard, putting a small cardboard or better between emmc chip/SoC and housing
( th-cam.com/video/jLPHWtb0StI/w-d-xo.html )
4. Flash latest modem and bootloader
5. Flash LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) for note 4
Now you have a nice responsive phone that won't make you want to buy a modern one.
Buy a international model like a N910C and no need to worry about emmc.
A sticky back... keep restarting on it's own.... this seems like a Halloween nightmare :D
thats how that video turned out to be . Unboxing note 4 during Halloween .. a hunted unboxing lol
It's gonna be my first phone!
Did anybody else get an alert from T-Mobile in the last week about installing an over the air update on their Note 4?
Simply the Greatest note phone ever...👍👍👍
The sound issue is clear that something is stuck inside the headphone jack, the phone thinks that you are using headphones all the time. Maybe a grain of rice??!
still using my note 4 btw :)
Ah!!! Didnt think about that!! It does look live this device was exposed to some liquid and the fact that the back cover is sticky tells me that the inside of the audio jack may have some of that residue which may trigger the phone to think headphones are connected.. or possible a gran or rice 🍚 🤔
I bought mine for 50 bucks in my country. Prestine condition. People just don't want them anymore
Don't install android 9 or up.. It makes the phone pretty slow almost unuseable
I had that same issue but it was a bad battery.
You can only purchase motherboard from Aliexpress..and repair your original phone.
Installing custom rom on it fixes the horrible lag for me
it is not that bad ... even 6 years later
I still use it for all notes and it follows me next to my Mi Max 3.
better buy a good one and open a case on paypal or ebay ...
I bought one last year after my Note 4 had crashed before.
I agree! That was my goal , to replace my last note 4 that got blocked by Samsung .. that phone was working like a charm. Glad to hear is still doing good !!!
YOU LOOK LIKE 'INIESTA'!!
goes and googles "INIESTA" ... "Spanish soccer player".. I take that any day :)
One more thing. For such a note enthusiast you don't seem like you are willing to look under the hood of your note. You are not a Note man until you have changed the screen or motherboard or something. Earpiece maybe. Charging port. Hell change the back, and get a new pen.
my dad gave his phone to me, its a galaxy note4
i bought 2 weeks ago a white one
very nice!
I still love my Verizon note 4!!!!!
I bought 23 note 4 brand new sealed in 2018. £100 each.
Sold all of them between £140 to £199
What software did it come with?
I love galaxy note 4 it's so special
In egypt I got a note 4 for 40 dollars and In a way better condition
You killed your original one?!? Haha jk. Good to see you thriving Mario! lmao at the rice grain!
Samsung killed it
. Damn samsung 😒....they said enough with the note 4 videos ...😅
Well maybe you didn’t say you charged it might’ve just been dead
Note 4 is still good in 2021 !!
I still want to revive my locked note 4.. 2022 may be the year
@@MayitoTek went back to using mine, still faster on android 5...battery life is better on android 5 too than 6
@@robbiepayne97 do you play emulators on it? how do DS games play? i'm thinking of getting this and pairing it with a bluetooth controller that can fit it in portrait mode. note 4's basically go for the same price as a used DSi where I'm from, but compared to that this can do psp too.
I got a brand new note 4 no beat up shit man why bother bruv
lol .. I learned my lesson
I want to buy it
I am still thinking about getting another one
Well I could've sold you mine at the same price lol an un Dallas TX
I am deciding if I drive to Wyle, there is a lady selling one in good condiction for $100 with the original box 😅.. they all seem to be selling between $100 to $150 here in Dallas.. I am mostly concern with getting stuck with a defective one, just like this one 😑
