Reports say:



General consensus is that it’s even more snappier and smooth then before.

Thanks!

Installing now, will have a play around and report back.

EE still the cheapest place to get one of these?

Hmm.. The update for my unlocked phone on Three isn't available over the air yet?

To confirm, I will not void my warranty by flashing a BTU firmware using Odin?

Correct. Not with Samsung, official firmware is official.

Does note 4 use dual band wifi, 2.4ghz 5ghz, i think it does.

Yes it does and can switch between them to maintain a stable connection.

Ooooo! Note 2 did that .

AC takes a look at a couple of screen protectors:

I just installed the latest firmware using odin and my knox hasn't been affected.

So,

getting tired of iOS and wanting to move back to Andriod (had SIII) before. I did play around with a 4 for a few minutes in a store and I did like what I saw. I was planning on either this or the Nexus 6 originally (preferred stock andriod) but seeing as that phone is so huge, without any kind of pen, and the 5 is a bit old now, so I figure I'm set on the 4.

Any other things to help me in my swayed decision, or things to perhaps consider when getting into it?

If you have the cash, and don't mind waiting till the 12th, the take a look at the Note Edge. Its expensive, but it's essentially a Note 4 with a cool edge feature.

 

[Christmas themed thank]

You can get one of those for less than £500 if you do the O2 Refresh "trick".

You'll have to worry about charging your Note4 a LOT less now compared to older phones. My one just hit 3 days of battery life with 4hours on screen time at 2%. The thing is a beast.

I have a three branded phone also and am still on the J firmware. I have rooted. Is there anyway to get the update?

Kies is saying im on the latest version.

manually update the firmware with Odin, quick and easy, did mine last night, followed by a factory reset.
if you want a stock unbranded ROM have a look here.

My rooted Note 4 has just picked up a 123mb update. Not sure what it is though as there was no changelog.

Edit: Update downloaded but didn't apply

Thanks.

It seems I have got it working with kies by using the firmware initialisation and upgrade option.

If it fails I'll give that a go.

On a separate note did I see someone mention there was a workaround for the free dropbox space by adding the account as a folder within an original account?

Cheers just got the update too

 

[Jabbs]

Picked one of these up and it updates straight away, reading all the reports on here of it being slow but not getting that so I guess this update fixed it as it's snappy.

 

[BaZ87]

Ever since the update my headset won't work properly. I can adjust the volume still but not play/pause or skip tracks.

 

[Cosimo]

We have a winner...
