Are you ee or stock firmware

 

[Matson]

IM on ee. Its the first update iv had since I got my phone.

 

[Vakas]

Yeah I got it today as well.

Any noticeable changes to report?

I kind of like this case... http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsung/galaxy-note/galaxy-note-4/galaxy-note-4-case-wallet-s.html

Can ditch my wallet! Hm..

Quite. Some of them are so blinded by their fanboism it beggars belief.

Not really, what beggars belief is that 7 out of 12 iPhones bent in normal use. if that was the case then there would be 10's of millions of bent iPhones out there and it would still be headline news, which it isn't.

More likely that 7 out of 12 employees thought, it's a company phone lets see how bendy they really are!

Yay mines coming tomorrow

 

[kidkhaos]

hows the audio quality through the headphones vs note 3?

Got it here aswell - changelog is added stability, new + enhanced features and performance improvements. Vague but I'll take it.

A well deserved speed test victory for the Note 4 VS iPhone 6+

 

[Frenzy]

Yay mines coming tomorrow

Same, finally.

Does anyone know if you can still get discount on the monthly tariff with O2 open even if you bought the phone from mobiles.co.uk? My phone arrives tomorrow, just wondered if O2 would knock anything off for me?

Do custom roms usually have the Samsung dvfs disabled? I'm finding it a little annoying while gaming and the cpu clocking down to half speed when the temp is only reaching 56 degrees.

Loving the phone still, but I'm having some monster wakelocks at the moment!

The phone's been off battery for 14h 34m as I type this, and has been awake (wakelocked) for 51% of that, so that's over 7 hours of wakelock today.

Roughly 5 hours of those (!) are one processes "wlanrx_wake". Now this only seems to be a real issue when I'm at work (in a university), and I guess it's something to do with the network pinging/waking the phone.

Does anyone more knowledgeable than I have any suggestions (other than to turn wifi off) as to how I can try and manage this?

After my first week of owning I'm loving the phone even more.

Battery is as good as my old note 2, in fact better.
As I type the phone has been off charge 2 days 11 hours, with 5 hours+ of screen time with 12% battery left.
I'm not one for killing services running to save power either, so overall I'm very impressed with it.

Picked mine up yesterday (at last!) and initial impressions are just, *wow*

Just off for lunch so a quick message, but the battery life is actually unbelievable - coming from an S4 it's like having 5x the battery. The fast charging is amazing too, can't believe how they've made it charge so quickly.

 

[Frenzy]

Just got mine, love it. With regards to first charge, are you supposed to charge it to full first or drain it completely?

Use it how you like. Draining it completely hurts Li-Ion. It likes to be topped up.

And the fast charge is great.

Same here. The screen, battery life and the smooth, fast responsiveness. The love affair is set to carry on for a long time.

Battery performs well so far, was down to 13% after 2 days (power saving on, 11 hours screen time).

Wonder what it'll be like this time next year?
