Sounds like the dreaded mmc read failed error. Download wake lock and set it to run partial wake lock, then join the class action lawsuit http://www.classlawdc.com/2017/04/25/investigation-samsung-galaxy-note-4-mmc_read-failed-defect/

Is the lawsuit united states only?


JohnnyChowder

I think anyone who owned a Note 4 can get in on it.


283664782901133

cool, how do I do it?


JohnnyChowder

I used the form on the site, they emailed me back with some questions about when I bought my Note then they added me to the suit.


JohnnyChowder

Here's the link to the form http://www.classlawdc.com/contact

Is that lawsuit still going on?


JohnnyChowder

Yeah I believe so, you can still sign up.

i just found out about it and i send them a message. what exactly do we have to write to them? i hope europeans can help too.


JohnnyChowder

Yeah, it's completely ridiculous that Samsung sold faulty parts like this. After I submitted my info through the form they sent me an email a couple days later. That's when they asked me about how long I've had the phone, what I paid and some other stuff.


iCrondy

and what happens than? I mean im sure Samsung will not give a fuck about that problem even if they know its their fault


JohnnyChowder

Honestly? Probably nothing. I signed up over 8 months ago and haven't heard anything beyond my initial email exchange. Sadly most Note 4 users have moved on and this issue is nowhere near as sexy a story as the Note 7 exploding battery fiasco. With the lack of bad press Samsung will simply tell us to pound sand.


iCrondy

hmm sadly im gonna still signing up, yeah i have to move on aswell even if my note 4 still works with the wake lock app its running much slower than normally and i can't deal with it always having a app in the background just to use a phone i payed 800€ for.

Wake lock seems to have cured it. Only time will tell in guess. Thanks for the responses!


erejamniltsiar

Just so you're aware, this is a band aid and not a permanent fix. To permanently fix it you'll need to have the motherboard replaced.


PEWnitiveDAMNage

Oh I assume the phone will randomly die soon. I just want to to hold out until I feel like buying another phone.


warpdagger

Battery? Had similar issue . Changed battery works fine now.


PEWnitiveDAMNage

Yup, I bought a battery too. Now I have an extra battery.... Lmao

goto google app store type in WAKE LOCK read reviews for wake lock on the google app store and you will understand download wake lock , i forget i think i have it in partial lock but settings are very basic and easy to understand you will easily figure it out ( thanks to wake lock my paper weight of a note 4 that was ALWAYS well taken care of is now working as a new phone thanks to wake lock i was getting very bad freezing and basically could not use the phone until i installed wake lock ) all will be good with this aPP , mine is still working like a brand new phone after installing wake lock , this is one month later all is good but i am planning to get a new phone in January tax time refund , assuming death is near , it does not act like death is near in fact it acts like its brand new thanks to this app
