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

[real]

Thanks guys.

Although, going through the thread I found links to mobilephonesdirect which has it a fair bit cheaper. Might try them unless anyone has any other horror stories...?

They don't have good feedback in general either from what I've seen, how about one of the EU Amazon's, get them for about £450 inc currency conversion and delivery? Ordered a phone from Germany the other day and just ordered one from Spain as well, a lot cheaper than the UK prices (buy it direct though and not from 3rd party sellers)

Nothing on Kies/Smart Switch but BTU OTA downing now all 979.43MB of it!

Taking it's time optimising apps.

Your thoughts Cosimo...worth the wait?


The app switcher is smoother and looks better for starters.

My girlfriend got the update on her Note yesterday and hates it... she thinks it's ruined the phone (software aesthetics wise)!

I have to say the white bars and non transparent backgrounds to some notifications are not pretty. Orange themed SMS app is ugly too.

Haha...what do you think?

I recommend tExtra for the SMS app. Fast, smooth and looks good.

Overall I don't mind it, I think it's an improvement on the older TouchWiz stuff. I can see why some might not like the brighter colour scheme though. There have been a few odd tweaks too, not necessarily for the better.

 

[kona786]

Yeah it always seems the way. May need to replace some apps with 3rd party ones.

Not had much of a play but it feels smother/quicker, don't mind the colours but that orange with messages looks odd with the other colours on screen, notifications is better. Looking good to me.

Cheers, installed and will give it a go.

When the BTU goes up on Sammobile can I flash that via Kies on my Three phone?

I've been waiting to pull the trigger on a custom Rom from XDA, but I've been sitting patient for the official LP.

Not via Kies, but you can flash it via Odin without triggering the Knox flag

Just updated mine, does swipe down still work to expand notifications? No longer works from anywhere on the screen for me, using nova launcher.

you need to re-enable the nova service in settings >> accessibility

I use disa for messaging - it combines my facebook, whatsapp and sms/mms in one app.

I don't like that all notifications now show up on the lock screen. Want it to do it only for texts/calls.

If I block or limit it, it disappears from the notification bar too unless I'm missing something?
