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

[Hamster]

If I'm honest, I've only had the phone & card for about two weeks, but no issues with it at all. Transfer speeds are quick (I moved a couple of GB's worth of music over to it and it did it quickly), certainly quicker than the standard 16GB Kingston memory card I put in the phone when I first got it. Seems to handle the UHD video recording pretty well to and that seems to hammer storage

Excellent, thanks for confirming If it handles the video well, I'll be more than happy, especially at that price!

I went for this one Samsung Memory 64GB Pro MicroSDHC UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10 Memory Card very nice fast card.
I paid £39 back in december.

Another vote for the Samsung Pro MicroSD card, I have had one since October and no issues with my Note 4

Guys are these sites safe to buy from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk and mobicity.co.uk ?

Also one states the Note 4 is "Samsung Galaxy Note 4 N910 32GB 4G LTE and is a N910F model" http://www.mobicity.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-note-4-n910f-32gb-4g-lte.html#.VRJOFeE4Jb5 and other states nothing about it apart from a Note 4 ..

What is the difference in having LTE ? and do all note 4's really have LTE just this http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/sim-free-mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-note-4 company has not stated the type of phone it is in detail ?


Do we use LTE in UK and is it useful to have if I travel to USA and is it compatible with their LTE ?


Also does anyone else know if there is cheaper place to buy from that is safe and has anyone purchased from these two companies and recieved everything in good order and does it come with the fast charger or just the standard charger ?


Thanks guys, need to order a new phone as mine is on the way out due to the battery giving up and would rather not invest in a new battery for it. I want to buy the note 4 SIM free by the way.

Quick one:
My note4 arrived this morning and i was expecting it to be locked to vodafone. I was told it would be locked from the smartphone company. However, i just put a giff gaff sim in and it allows me to make calls. Does this mean the phone is unlocked to all networks? Reason i ask is that once i get my microsim from Three, i want to be using the Three network.

When you turn it on, does it give you the samsung startup or a vendor specific one?

 

[Hamster]

Samsung's. No reference to vodafone whatsoever. I'm assuming i've got lucky!!

From my experience they have all come unlocked from places like that, CPW, Mobiles.co.uk, mpd, etc.

Thanks. I was a bit surprised as I thought it'd not only locked, but also heavily branded. Saved me £20 unlocking fee too!!

Just need to get a Three microsim now as mine's an older, full sized sim. Looks like they can be cut down but i'd probably end up wrecking it!

Treat yourself to a nice case with that moolah

I will do. I've bought a cheapo case from ebay for £3 just to protect the phone whilst choosing something decent Was thinking of something like an Otterman but there seem to be a lot of lovely looking cases out there.

Did it come with the fast charger or the standard charger ? I'm after a nice leather flip case for mine when I get it, one that does not involve you removing the back of the phone to mount it into the flip case, if anyone knows a good one would love to hear from you.

The charger plug says 2A so I'm assuming that's a fast one. Also the usb cable is longer than the one that came with the s4 mini (which had a 1A charger)

 

[kona786]

Should be 9v,1.87A.

And should say something like adaptive charger.

It should look like this if the fast charger.

This came from Samsung on day of release:

Note on output is says 9.0 V and 5.0 V.

 

[Hamster]

It should look like this if the fast charger.

In that case, no. It didn't come with that charger. I didn't realise that fast was 9V! This one just came with the 5V, 2A charger.

Looking through this thread, appears some have got the adaptive charger. Should it have come with one? If so, what are people doing about it?

It's no biggie to me, just seems like some come with it and some don't, it may explain the cheaper price from these sites for the phone. Fast charging only wears out the battery quicker but it's nice to have and a shame they don't have a charger with a switch on it to let you choose fast or regular charging mode (someone may correct me and maybe there is an option on the phone menus to choose between the fast charge and regular charge).
