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

I don't really look into cashback stuffs so no. From what I recall GG use UK Mail, and you're provided with tracking details.

I would phone them up ASAP.

I ordered the Note4 from them online also, on November 8th. Cancelled it a day later via a phonecall to customer services because the accounts section on their website is next to to useless. A day later £600 taken out of my account so about 3 more calls proceeded and still no refund. This morning I got the same text stating it would be delivered on the 3rd December!

I phoned them up today, got through straight away!

The guy had to call the suppliers, and after he had done this he has said that it's been cancelled on the suppliers side, and they had sent 3 notifications that it has been cancelled but according to the Argos system the notification that it's been cancelled hasn't officially gone through. They can't refund apparently until it shows it has. He's not sure why but he said he's going to have to wait until Monday to see if it changes and he's sent a message to the admin team to see if they can do anything about it too.

A little annoying.
 
If you buy a carrier branded Note 4, can you flash an official vanilla 'sim free' firmware to it so you can get updates quicker and direct from Samsung instead of say Vodafone, and also removes the carrier bloatware?

Also, if you can, will the phone still be locked and un-molested, ie. Knox is still in place, bootloader is locked etc... or will it have anything different than if I bought a sim free handset in the first place?

I'm coming to the decision that I shouldn't have sold my Note 4, can't find and settle on something that I like :(
 
Thinking to get my brother a Note 4 as a wedding gift, he loves Samsung device (no idea why haha) and has a S4 thats basically on its last legs. How are you guys all finding it, and anyone know the best place to buy it sim free?
 
Note 4 is better in terms of hardware, e.g. metal band, better display, S805. Battery life is also a major issue for him as the S4 doesn't make it through even half a day and he has commented on wanting a note a few times so been thinking it would be the better fit. If I do go with the S5 it is cheaper for me :p so I will give it some thought.

Only real doubt I had is the software, and it is still super bloated but seems much smoother then in the past.
 
Note Edge arrives today, but I am stuck abroad till Tuesday night.
Will be keen to get my Note 2 replaced, its been an awesome phone, but its had a hard life and looks like it!
 
Just setting up a friends note 4 and can't seem to get 1440p working on YouTube. I've uninstalled the newest version, cleared data/cache, rebooted and installed the version that supports 1440p, but still no luck. After 20 or so attempts I just gave up. Anyone have any solutions?
 
Buy a 9 quid replacement bezel, I had my screen replaced under insurance, so the screen was nice and bright again but the edging was battered, the part is obtainable on auction websites and is totally user replaceable with nothing more than a credit card/edger and a small star head screwdriver.

So It's not like the S5 which needs removal of the front screen? That's good news if so!

battery cover off, load of screws out, two clips and prize the screen out. Honestly took me 20 mins tops and that was being careful.
First two mins of this video shows you how to do it.

I have to be honest, on a screen this pixel dense, the difference between FHD and QHD video is extremely small. And I'm all for extra quality but the extra pixels are hardly noticeable on moving stuff.

Looks quite straight forward, thanks for the link!

Yeah I guess you are right, but I can't even get the 1080p option, max is 720p =/
