JoeyZac Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 2 hours ago, Kings over Queens said: Samsung note 4, just under 3 years old. Battery doesn't keep a decent charge, pages slow to load, gps acts funny, camera takes and inordinate amout of time to focus. Easy enough to replace the battery, but is it worth if for 3 year old technology? I upgrade only when I drop the current one overboard, which happens way too much. Last 3 phones were all Note 3, after losing my S5. I'm going backwards, and it's fine. In your case, a new battery on Amazon is $10. You have nothing to lose by grabbing a new one, cleaning some crap out of the phones memory, and pressing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchellNJ Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I've upgraded when the 2yr contract was up and my old phone was worth as much or more than the replacement. Now that we're forced to pay monthly, probably not as often. Glad I switched to Samsung when I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I change my phone about as often as you go fishing so like every five years or so... I went from a 6 to an X. Hello Japan? Connect me to Godzilla please.

My company reimburses me for the cost, so I could get the latest and greatest. My value system makes me pause before I spent OPM (other peoples money), which as it were, is mine, because I'm a shareholder/partner. #otterlivesmatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfishkiller Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Dropped the iPhone in the water, turned on the old s7, it went berserk after a couple of weeks , bought the 180.00 Samsung something , it sucks just as bad as every other phone I've had, I change phones when I have too. how lucky am i to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard Shooting a coon in a 60ft tree out of a boat in the dark holding a flashlight can be tricky. ..

I12fsh Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Just this week looked into why my S5 keeps saying " not enough space" for new emails. It seems 16gb is not enough storage space for all the apps I use on the phone. All the newer phones are a minimum 32 , most are 64 , so I might be looking at a new s8 or 9. Also , the phone does seem to be slower than usual ( convincing myself), so might have to upgrade (kinda want a new toy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishinambition Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 S6 just turned 3. Still works awesome. Could use a battery. Might just get a refurbed S6 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybeach Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 I just got an i8. Frankly, I do not see what all the hubbub is about a smart phone. Yeah, I guess if you wanna be a d-bag and stare at it all day it has it's merits. I am not impressed, but then again, I haven't "played" with it.

Aquacide Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 its useful if you let it be, ie don't have any patience to check emails, stock prices, fishing reports, weather etc until you get home or in the office.

My Note 5 seems to be holding up nicely for being almost 2 years old and the plan is to use it as long as I can. Damn wireless bill is ridiculous as it is.
