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

[Christmas themed thank]

Why can't you have a passcode with the fingerprint sensor enabled, why do you have to have a long password?

Just thought I'd share something that I was messing about with on Autodesk sketchbook:
*image snip*

Space Marine Librarian, because why not. Wasn't finished, but I threw in some lens flare, and changed contrast, and voila. Oh yeah, it's crazy that the original resolution was 1440x2560.

Amazing job. Sure puts my S Pen drawing skills to shame

I got the Note 4 as my upgrade phone, came over from the S3 and holy mother of... this phone is pretty amazing. Now though I feel the screen may be getting a little...... small

A look after two months of use:

Agree with the above but I don't have any niggles about the software. I love the thing and it's the best phone I've had.

Is there any way of removing the '3' logo on the splash screen?. I downloaded a software update from them and it's on the note now.

Beautiful phone BTW.

Cheers, saved that to read later!

I will have to do a bit of research, I've never installed a new firmware before . I will probably wait until the new one is released.

Brilliant phone, I can have a full page of gifs on display without it grinding to a halt

You want a secure environment then use My Knox:

There's an add for an incipio fast car charger down the right hand side of the article cosimo posted.

 

[jonneymendoza]

anyone know how to root this device on a mac machine?

Then u miss out on root

Your choice but some do require security.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Your choice but some do require security.

yes indeed.

Things that benefit root are things like knowing what wakelocks is potentially keeping your phone awake/draining battery

 

[Matson]

does anyone know where you can get the stock Kernel after flashing a custom one.....

Just the kernel not the rom.

Continued from the last post of mine, if anyone likes a bit of sketching, here's the last version of my piccie at full res.

It's ridiculous how much detail you can go to drawing on this device!!!
Oh and that's using Sketchbook. It's got a few useful tools, obviously not as extensive as a full PC app, but great for bedtime doodling!

 

[Thomss]

Had mine delivered yesterday, very nice!
Looks like Nova Launcher is causing some battery drain which not everyone is having, anybody here had to avoid Nova? That would be a shame although I'm sure it would be fixed shortly.

 

[android-fan]

Using Nova and getting around 5 and a half hours screen time. Don't think it's causing an issue for me.

 

[Thomss]

Yeah, I've never heard of it until I checked around on some forums. Trying Apex for a short while and running BBS to see if anything weird is hitting the battery. Even with the slight drain the thing is lasting better than the Nexus 5 on a good day

 

[Jabbs]

Not having issues with KK launcher with battery drain.
