Samsung galaxy note 4

markad1

you got the snapdragon and yet its exynos?
Sorry I was thinking s was the snapdragon

Hachiko

I never said i got the snapdragon.

markad1

I knew you were getting the exyons I was following your posts. I was surprised to see N910S on the box, I was expecting N910C,
Congrats on your monster

Hachiko

its N910S, i checked under the battery.

about the build quality, the main body looks good, solid and stands out a lot, the back part is rubbish and just cheap piss, is this meant to be faux leather? in any event i am not bothered as the main device itself is really impressive.

fast charging works a bomb and the energy saving/low battery mode is great.

What about the gap?

Craigels

Where did you get it from?

Hachiko

well, its not something i would be concerned about, its not like you can fit a few gob stoppers in there. There is a bit of a gap on one side (an A4 sheet can go down a small bit, certainly wont fit a business card in there), but unless you are OCD it should be fine.

I am OCD..:p anyone remember when dust started to appear under the screen of your 6310i! Don't like seeing dust gathering in gaps around the screen, especially as sometimes there is slight glue residue in there and dust sticks to it.

Hachiko

you are not going to fit a nail into this gap, its not the sally gap i mean. I think its standard design cosmetics, its just the outside bezel part. I had some concern about reading it too but after seeing it up close its nothing to worry about, and then you have this monstrous screen to keep you happy...

Got this on ebay.

Messing around with the dates, plus the fact that I could break my contract early due to a change by Three as long as I gave them notice by the 20th of this month but after that I had to stay with my contract for the remainder of the term (8 months) meant I switched to Vodafone with the Z3.

I really wanted to order the Note 4, being a Note 2 user but I had a finite time to port out and the delays just meant it wasn't going to be possible.

markad1

Hachiko does your note 4 work ok on the 4G network here?

Hachiko

LTE works fine, it has korean apps i cant remove. some Korean teleco. I am sure if you did a root you could get rid of.

markad1

you could probably flash a non branded firmware to get rid of that stuff.

markad1

I take it there's no region lock crap that was on the Note 3

Meteor told me on Facebook that it's available in store now

Anyone know if this is the sim free price? Seems pretty good if it is?

markad1

Ordered from O2 on prepay for €660.99 less 20% priority discount for a total €535.99 delivered

kjl

anyone know when it's coming out on vodafone?

Is it locked to O2? Does it come with any O2 branding? How does the priority discount work, how do you avail of it? Might try the same but only if it isn't locked to O2?

markad1

You register for O2 priority and you select the 20% discount for online purchases

I got the note 3 the same way last year and it was locked to O2. It had no branding.

How did u order this when it's out of stock? Unless u ordered it earlier

Was in stock when I ordered. It may have been a mistake and not in stock at all.

Yes, I tried this and it was out of stock. 5 mins later, it was out of stock when I refreshed it. I suppose it depends when u look at the site

Thor

Yeah, I placed my order on o2 at around 15:30 I think. O2's dispatch and they said they getting them tomorrow and should be shipping them the next day.

Looking forward to it arriving. Nice you see you got the discount as well markad1.

adamski8

Went into two meteor stores there and they didn't have any and didn't have a clue when they would. One said November.

markad1

Thor, the discount sealed the deal.
I was interested in the exynos version Hachiko got but I couldn't pass the 20% off.
I seen a unit in India that had a sticker on the box saying about activating with a sim card from that region :mad:
Anyone importing be careful of this.

markad1

O2 back in stock 18:19
and gone again 18:44

nothing wrong with dragon, they are both stupid fast phones at the end of the day, people might say why the bench marks are not higher with all that processing power but the display is a monster.

I agree. I could have picked up the Exynos myself, but waited out to order the snapdragon. Mainly because of the extra development support behind it. Even more so now that the Nexus 6 is using the same chipset.

Either way, performance on both of these devices are more than good enough and I can't imagine anything that will completely saturate them.

Is anybody here with o2? isnt the lack of a 4g network annoying you with such a great device. i have the note 3 and want to leave vodafone but o2 keep stalling on the 4g info.

any reccomendations?

markad1

4G doesn't bother me. There's wifi everywhere. 4G would be nice for the few times there's no wifi.

I'm on Three's 4G and while it is nice to have it is vastly overrated imo. They are going to start charging for it from December but I'll be sticking with 3G which is perfectly fine for my needs. Unless you like to watch HD videos on youtube and other bandwidth intensive tasks then it's fairly pointless.

leemaree

Right, I have the Galaxy Note 4 page open on 02.ie to see when/if it's available. I'm going to refresh it now and again to see ;-)

markad1

leemaree....I use chrome and theres an extension for it called page monitor. I told it to monitor the O2 and google page and anytime there's changes to the page I get a notification.
It's handy for monitoring when new stuff is added

Cool, I'll try that and i'll try do it and see if I can work it out as I have google chrome

I've monitored my page (I think) I don't know how to get a notification. Will I get it through e-mail or something?

markad1

right click on the page monitor....click options and reduce the check interval to monitor quicker
also enable desktop notification.
You will see a number pop up on the page monitor icon

Just out of carphone warehouse, said phone goes on sale & they'll have stock tomorrow. Full network pricing is only being released to them tonight.

Apparently they have them in Samsung experience store in Dundrum and selling it on Vodafone prepay for 599. They are not selling them sim free unlocked

If that's the case, that's a pretty solid price.

You can easily unlock it for around under €25. Which would still make it cheaper than buying it sim free.

Perhaps O2 will ship them today, if they get them in time, but guessing they will still wait until tomorrow.

At least they aren't shipping them on a Friday like with the Note 3, and we have to wait thought a weekend.

If anyone get's an O2 dispatch email, make sure to update the thread.

Also, UAG just announce their covers for the Note 4, going to be getting a few to review.

Have mine ordered for the morning, 119 on three upgrade not bad of you ask me, though don't think I'll be playing to much with it till I get a case and screen protector

How did you manage that? I'm on three but when I go to upgrade it won't let me select the Note 4, did you do it in-store?

Nice one. I want the white version so might wait until next week to get it in store

Also did you happen to get the Flex Max 350 price for the handset?
