Have you disabled a lot off the crud in app manager?

a lot of the Samsung apps including S-Voice. I have 20 apps disabled.

I've just disabled S-Voice, but there are a lot of other apps and services running that I don't know what to keep and what to shut off?

disable all the amazon ones if you don't use them, flipboard, lookout, deezer, Ant.

Space Monkey · 30 Oct 2014 at 11:55

Some can only be force stopped, is that right? I assume that means they can re-start? Any way to disable them instead (the disable button is grey'd out?)

kona786 · 30 Oct 2014 at 12:02

That's right, if its greyed out you can't disable it.

You need root and Titanium Backup to do that via freeze apps.

I've just bought a Clingo http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003ULP9HA great bit of kit.

After 7 or 8 months, the green surface started to degrade on mine and was leaving a horrible mess on the back of my phone

Seems a bit worrying, it mentions that if it loses stickiness then you should run it under water. What if it loses stickiness while in use, will your phone drop off it face first?

That doesn't sound good!

More delays from Clove, not coming this weekend either. They think Samsung is favouring networks and their own shops. I am getting closer to buying one on Gumtree...

Have they given a date?

Im not finding this phone laggy at all apart from throttling in games which is driving me crazy. Im hoping a custom rom will sort that though.

Nope. I'm not sure they dare with Samsung cancelling/postponing all the time!

Has anyone sourced a sim free note 4 yet that is in stock (unlocked or ee comp) ? Our business supplier cant get one and I might just go ahead any buy then invoinlce them.

This is getting silly now. Its been 2 weeks!

Any way of speeding up the note 4 camera seems to be a delay from pressing the shutter to takeing the pic

Im finding the fingerprint scanner really good. If you register the same finger two or three times it greatly improves the accuracy and now I barely ever get a failed swipe. Even if I do it really fast it works 99% of the time.

CorrectHorseBattery · 30 Oct 2014 at 22:12

The fingerprint reader design is just terrible.

Warp279 · 30 Oct 2014 at 23:02

I would have liked it on the back.
How many tries do you get with the scanner? I remember the s5 they capped it after an update.

Can't say I've had a problem with it.

Exactly! What the hell is Samsung playing at? They're not even explaining the delay and keeping everyone just hanging. This isn't on!!!
