**** The Official Note 4 thread ****

What kind of battery life are you folks getting so far? My Note4 (unrooted) is sitting at 2days 14hrs with 4.3hr SoT and 10% battery left. Granted I haven't been using it that much compared to the first occasion but even then I managed 5hrs SoT. Really pleased so far.

I tend to average 2 1/2 days battery with 5 to 6 hours screen time.
Best I've seen so far is 3 days with 4 hours 55mins screen time.

Cheers dude. Those are impressive figures indeed.

Utajoker - take a look at this for rooting stuffs. I'm currently contemplating it myself.

Edit: Buggery. Just rooted mine and installed Xposed to tweak bits of the UI. Now got writeable ext SD card support back and less clutter on the notification pull down :)

Anyone got the Spigen Glas screen protector yet? Any good?
Been running mine for a few weeks without a protector, reckon its probably time to get one now.
 
Kainz... if you've rooted you should try the AEL kernel. Much better battery life..things feel more fluid. Over clocked to 2.8 or the newer version which is at 2.9. Or you can use an older version that isn't over clocked.

My contract is coming to an end in January. I'm considering the S5 or note. I will be getting myself out to view them soon.
 
Quick heads up to those considering rooting and then installing Xposed. In doing so you'll find SHealth not working properly as it will hang when run, this is possibly caused by the app not being able to see the sensors. This results in a 3 second random lag on the device. Basically Xposed and SHealth seem to have a history of not working together.

This quick fix however resolves that. It consists of a quick edit of the build.prop file.

After a few days with the Note 4, I have to say I'm really liking it.
The Samsung Smart Switch app is really handy too.

The phone itself feels far more premium than the Note 3 and the screen protector I got went on first time with no bubbles. It was fate that I get the Note 4 over the Z3 :D
 
I'm in Korea next month. Any issues with me buying a Note 4 there and bringing it back to the UK and adding a UK sim to it?

Do I just need to just make a 5 minute call with it using a Korean sim whilst i'm in Korea?

Also anyone know which is best, Exynos running 64-bit vs Snapdragon (32-bit)?

Mine arrived today - very happy with it.

Quick question. I have an existing dropbox account, any way for me to claim the 50GB allowance on it?
 
Kainz.... you can also just tick a box under the security tab in xposed to fix the S health thing.
Also you can get OTA updates still by faking the status of the device from custom to official so you can still get proper updates by ticking another boxed called fake device status.

Aye, I noticed that right afterwards and was like fffffuuu :D I did notice the option to fake the device status so that it looks like a unmodified Note4. I've got it enabled so lets see how it pans out when an update rolls in...at some point.
