Thanks, now having random periods of non responsive screen, and when scrolling getting like a juddering effect, and lots of lag in all different parts of the phone, nothing like the review videos!

Unlucky Space Monkey, I'm sure the'll give you a replacement. Atleast you got to play with it today and not next week.

Interesting bit of news a mate just sent me.

I'm confused, what does this mean? There's going to be another version?

edit: From what I can tell they just rebranded the current exynos. Without 4GB of ram this won't make a difference?

Yeah I guess so

Are you experiencing any lag, stutters or juddering etc...

The phone is running as it should here, very responsive. The S-Pen is also a step up from the Note 3, it really feels lag free when I'm writing. Extremely impressed with that.

Have you switched to ART?

 

[Space Monkey]

Wouldn't know how to switch to ART, is it easy?

 

[kona786]

Go to Settings
Scroll down to About Phone, then click on “Build Number” seven times
Now you have Developer privileges
Go back to Settings, scroll down to Developer options, select Runtime and switch over to ART
You phone will now reboot. Be warned: this can take awhile, so don’t stress.

Takes about 15 mins and is fully reversible.

Excellent, thanks will have a bash later today.

Does it make much of a difference? Any drawbacks?

 

[kona786]

Peace of mind that the phone is running as fast as possible

Nah no real drawbacks, uses a bit more storage and some really old apps are not compatible. But all the big apps have long been updated to work. All my apps work.

Cool, thanks mate, I'll report back tomorrow when I've given it a try

Anyone know the reason why my quadrant and geekbench 3 scores have halved...earlier I had like 1100 single core and 3200 multicore and now it's about half of that. Quadrant went from 25k to 14k. Is it heat or something making it down clock?

Cheers

Photos don't do it any justice. Go hold one and you'll get it before Christmas!

No chance

How's the battery lasting?

 

[Participant]

A quick snap of it...

Urmagerd that is sexual

Screen is uniform, nice and smooth. All looking very good here. If you've had the firmware update then get it changed for another.

I'll give that a try alter. Is there any impact on battery life?

Cheers for the wallpaper!

Has anyone got the free 50gb dropbox added to their account ?

It only adds the 50GB to new DropBox customers, I logged in and only had my existing storage amount (last time I did this I got the free 50GB but not this time)
