Better late than a buggy mess.

Samsung know what they're doing. 5.0.2 is such a buggy mess you would throw your Note 4 phones against a wall it's that frustrating.

Let the bugs get ironed out and let Samsung do their thing.

Which is odd, as I use 5.0.2 daily and I don't think I can think of one bug I encounter...

^So you're not facing any WiFi bugs or the RAM getting eaten up for no reason? Or any other bugs reported by users to Google then you're a lucky so and so...

I have a wifi bug with my n4 on 4.4.4 seriously annoying.

AndyCr15 · 6 Feb 2015 at 22:05

On WiFi all the time at home, don't see any issues, no...

RAM getting eaten? Don't know. I don't have any lag or slow down, so wouldn't be looking to see so I guess no...

Worst thing has to be the removal of the Mute button, so stupid.

Anyone know if an o2 note 4 can be rooted?just tried to copy files over WiFi from my pc to sd card in the note and the app says I need root.

Yeah it can be.

There's ways around the SD card write restricitons though. Each app has a folder on the SD card to which it can write. Before I rooted I just set each app up to write to its respective folder, and it all worked great.

The other alternative is just to copy to the phone's internal memory as normal, and then use the My Files default app to copy the file to the SD card.

All a lot easier if you root, but that's not for everyone!

Thanks, doing that now

I feel like Google's devs don't put usability as a high priority: I feel like they're programmers as opposed to 'humans'.

Loving the Note 4 even more with Apex Launcher on now.

Anyone recommend a desk dock that will support the fast charging?

kona786 · 7 Feb 2015 at 10:53

Fast charging is all to do with the plug side, the dock can be anyone you like.

Spit · 7 Feb 2015 at 11:08

ok, come from the iPhone and its always hit and miss with accessories.

Anyone gone from a One M8 to a Note 4? What are your thoughts... Euro conversion rate says I can pick up a Note 4 for £450 today....really tempted seeing at One M8s are still selling used for £280+
