More Features - More Space Storage

I know, i called too much missing Features in my past posts of this thread, BUT more Features cost More Space - so why don't make a 64GB Version?

I know that too much Features take too much Space so let's go with a 64GB Version. ;)

Tomorrow im getting a new Note 4 Black..

I was wondering if the stock samsung keyboard has emojis preinstalled?

Also do they appear coloured? Cauze my S3 shows them black and white

Die überragende Startƶeit der Kamera ist ƶu lang - genauso wie die Ƶeit zwischen 2 Fotos. ;(

The Start time and the Shooting delay of the Camera is too long. :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
Yesterday → Tech Store

I fell in love with the Note 4's Display. ♥

But 3 Other bad things:

Too Low Headphone Output Voltage ﴾Volteage﴿ (Scheinbar zu gering)

Again:

TEST Picture file Details like ShutterSpeed, ISO, historgam, Aparture, ÉV, etc. aren't displyaed as like in S5, Note 3 and older phones

No Fla$h Player (Àdôbê™)

However, the Note 4 and the Note Edge and the iPhone 6+ lol Lol - they've got the best Screen ever seen on Smartphones. :laugh::svetius:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
Only one Thing:

Why does the Gemran Galaxy Note 3 GT-N9005 display the Bitrate of a Video File and the Note 4 ﴾all variants﴿ not?

And also:

Where's Indéo Video 4.1 ﴾IV41﴿ Codec Support!?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
Where is

Group Play from S4?

And Save Pages for Offline View - where is it?

Maybe SOME OF the Note 4 Disadvantages, that i mentioned in my Older Posts in this thread is just, because those techshop Devices are Most-Likely for Demonstration purposes. (Demo-Devices)

Not sure upgrade is worth it for the cost. ... Might wait for note 5 instead

it most definitely is..i was skeptical also coming from the note 3 but im glad i went for it.

In what way is it an improvement?

What a joke, the new Lollipop Upgrade for the Galaxy Note Edge includes the silent mode toggle unchanged!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Brandon011795:
I'm disappointed I still don't have the Lollipop update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bekasulaberidze:
honestly I'm very very disappointed, I loved my Note3, first of all the main problem is battery, drains extremely fast, maybe you should skip Note4 and wait for 5
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
much faster even stock.

superior speed on wifi...considerably faster.

display is way better and since it gets the most attention...kind of important.

looks far nicer and feels nicer in the hand...it makes my note look and feel cheap.

i dont really put things into dollars...generally speaking if people are saying they cant "justify" x amount of dollars for it because its not enough of a jump ..they probably can't afford it anyway. (notice the "generally" there...obviously that doesnt apply to everyone).

my reason for being gun shy was the fact the screen was the same size as the note 3 and i wanted 6"

sent from Canada via my Note 4, 3, 2 or S3
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
I was looking for 6 inch also. .. that would have made the difference for me

personally I would be willing to spend that much but only if it was a big enough jump.

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 PM ----------

Display is definitely better. . But at that screen size it not as big a uplift as the bare stats would have you believe
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
Even bigger?! No Way!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dmakun:
The improved look and speed of touchwiz as well as how ui/multitasking works and the camera quality (with OIS) on the note 4 is way better than that on my old note 3 along with fast charging and a much better battery endurance despite the increased resolution of the note 4 was enough reason for me to make the jump.

I consider all this to be more than 'incremental'. That term incremental is reserved for 'improvements' from that famous fruit company.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sallvation:
lol..not really an upgrae??

u can never make everyone happy, but to say note 4 isn't really an upgrade is crazy....all u have to do is look at the specs.....and if nexus n others wer'e "almost" the same...then all of us prolly woulda bought it.....Bottom Line it's not perfect no phone will ever b perfect, but the note 4 is just a beast...unnnnlimmmiiittteeddd pppowwweeerrr :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
It's an upgrade but is it 600 pounds worth of upgrade?

Yes it's faster and brighter and more smooth.... but I'm not sure that's worth 600 pounds from a pure value for money perspective.

Obviously if u have the money and want the latest specs then u might be willing to pay to get this. ... but that wasn't really the question .
[Galaxy Note 4 General] midreestaj:
I miss the focus reticle (white) that used to blink in view finder ... it now only seem to show itself when you touch to focus
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
Two more problems:

You can't access „App-Info" from the Task List for Apps.

The Left Key (show Tasks) isn't long-pressable. - If you long-press it, it's like short-pressing the Old Options Key - but there's no way to long-press the option-key.

---------- Post added at 14:10 ---------- Previous post was at 14:04 ----------

I hope the Note 5 not to lose sooo many softare (and a few Hardware) features from S2, S3, S4, S5, Note 2, Note 3 and Note 3 Neo. - I hope the Note 5 gets them Back.

The S5's Setting Menu has a Black Background Colour + 3 Different Viewing Modes.

The one from the Note 4 has White Background Colour and 2 Viewing Modes.

I'd also like to have all 3 Modes and Switchable Background Colour.

Some Random Disadvantages.

And the Text Detector for photos from the S4 is Missing.

Options … Menu has no Icons - like S3, S4, Note 2 and Note 3. - Worse oversight

The Photo Details don't show any Histogram+Exposure Time+ISO+GPS+etc. anymore.

No option for ISO in the Native Camera App.

In total, the Note 4 is still a good phone. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
How's there no option to change the ISO in Samsung's camera app?I am looking at it as we speak.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] midreestaj:
I too just found out EXIF data is not shown in photo details and why this was removed is ridiculous
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
The Camera App of the Note 4 lost sooo many useful features as known from:

S5, Alpha, A5

S4, Note 3, Note 3 Neo, S4 Mini

S3, S2

Note 2

Note 2 LTE

Galaxy S4 Zoom

Galaxy K oom

...very sad about that.

...and where is air view or air gesture ? I loved air gesture in gallery :/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
I already mentioned this.

Look in my Older Posts of this thread avec using the Extended Search.

Did you know? x6.0 Zoom on the Note 4 is the same as 4.0x on Note 3.

I can't believe, the Note 4 ISN'T COMPATIBLE WITH CameraMX :crying:

And since Android ICS 4.0, you must long-press to make a Screenshot. In the Galaxy S2 with Gingerbread, a short press of Home+Power button is enough to make a screenshot.

Shutter lag and Shooting delay of Screenshots is too long... S2 was zero shutter lag.

Two more Camera Problems:

Selfie-Camera jan just Record 10080p Video - but also ONLY Can take 1080p Photos while Recording Videos.

You can't set Photo or Video Resolution for the Selfie-Camera in any way.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bbbobbbo:
Contextual filename!

Yet another one:

contextual filename! Why is that gone? aaargghhhhhh

If anyone can help out with that one, or maybe if there's some mod or anything out that would bring contextual filename back to note 4...

For those who missed out on this great feature, here it goes: S3, Note 2, S4 and Note 3 all had it in camera's settings. It is dependent on location tags - so after enabling location tags (which add location geotag to picture exif), you can as well turn on "contextual filename" = what that does is add a *_location_name* to the end of the filename, so that the picture filename will be something like "yyyymmdd_HHMMSS_Street_Name.jpg"

As i take thousands of shots / year, copy those to PC and come back over them later, it's very difficult to remember where all the pics were shot, and the contextual name really helps sort things out.

The Note 4 does have location tags, but that's only helpful as the picture stays in the phone, as you can see location in "more info" setting, but when you copy it to PC, the location info is gone - it will not even show in EXIF as basic coordinates for that matter.

Not the way to go, Samsung!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rigurat:
I was hoping for:

Stereo speakers <- very important to me

USB 3.0

All metal design, metal stylus and back cover

Larger battery or at least an option to have an OEM extended battery
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MSK1:
Stereo speakers for me. ...

[Galaxy Note 4 General] vegetaleb:
Weight could have been less than 176gr.

RAW and better calibrated colors with camera (like S6)

New TW themes like S6

Though I think these things will be implemented via OTA update no?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
Android 4.5 never came--.... hrm

Ok, the S6 has a very good Costumizability, but lost many features:

http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=351642798

There's no reason for removal of features - who knows if somebody needs a feature that others find useless?

If the Design got Updates, there must be a feature to costumize it back.

Maybe some people hate the Android Lollipop's new User Interface!? - So there must be a feature to costumize it like you want it. (Size of App-Icons on each screen, old layout, colours, font type and 100's of other things.)

The only reason to remove a feature is the ressources (Space Storage, etc.) - but the performance of phones are very good today and the solution is making bigger and faster Space Storages inside of phones with faster hardware speed.

Some random missing features from the S4 i9506, that i also miss:

Nice Gimmics (Air Gestures, Quick Check, Accept Calls, Player Preview, Design of Multimedia Players, etc.)

(Coloured, not B/W - ) Icons in Context Menu Entries (you can find entrys in context menues faster) (N4 has no icons in Context Menus)

S5+ - You can set, if your Settings Menu Colour is Black or white and you also have the choice between 3 Viewing Modes N4 only has 2.

S5+ - Adjusting Playback Speed in Media Player and Emergency Mode

S3 - Screenshot Option in the StandBy-Menu

S2 - no Screenshot Shutter Lag and Delay

S4 - Group Play, Ch@tON (Screen Transferable), Native Text Detector for Photos

S2, S3 Less Restrictions

Android Jelly Bean - Green (Blue) nice wonderful Battery Icon ♥

The Note 4 is still a good phone - but somehow i also take care of the smallest feature things...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
The Pause Delay is too High, which means, that the Delay between Recording Video and Pausing it and then Restarting Recording is too long.

The Nokia 108 has no Pause lag at all. (Pause Delay)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] picaboodre:
They skipped ;

1. The share option in the camera. I really miss the Remote Viewfinder option

2. The ability to press and hold the spen button while touching the screen to take a screen shot is gone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Hannah Stern:
No Gestures at all. (Photo Album, Home Screen, Accept Calls, etc.)

As known from S4 and Note 3.

And the other points you mentioned, i also miss them.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:

There is no animation of video thumbnails in the stock video app. I had it in Note 3. Have they removed it in Note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xdm9mm:
I wanted front facing stereo speakers, Apt-X support, no bloatwarez
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Agree there, it would be nice having front mounted stereo speakers sammy dropped the ball there (and havinng a 6" screen)

I love everything else about the device and bloatware is easily removed

Tapatalk signature: As a great moderator once said " This is a developers forum not a help site. There are no babies here that need to be spoon fed"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] abubasim:
apt-X is definitely supported on the Note 4. Just make sure your Bluetooth headphones also have apt-X. It needs to be available on both sides.

AFAIK, all of Samsung's premium phones starting with at least the Note 2 and the SIII and SIII mini have apt-X.

...

I am disappointed in the camera. Excessive NR and sharpening with no way of switching these off or at least tuning down a little. Is the 16MP sensor of such poor quality that this heavy-handed processing is needed? That Samsung released Lollipop for the Note 4 without the Camera2 API is an indication that this is the reason.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xdm9mm:
I know on the Note 2 Apt-x is supported and it is clearly printed on box. I don't see anything written on my Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Yep I'm still passed about the lack of camera2 Api support..

As for solution in your case... Snap camera HDR (as long as on Snapdragon) will allow for close to raw and can heavily mitigate nr and sharpening, etc.. Check it out.. Best 3rd party app imo.. But would be amazing if camera2 was available cuz it has even more features we can't use..

There is a Snap thread too..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] abubasim:
The apt-X logo is printed on the backside of the box my phone came in.

Update: I double-checked and that's wrong. There are no details about apt-X on the box.

CSR's site shows that apt-X is supported by the Note 4: http://www.aptx.com/product/galaxy-note-4

Check if there's anything else missing on your phone that is supposed to be there. It may be a clone: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Hall-of-shame-the-best-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-clones_id65879

I have tried Snap Camera HDR and it's a great camera app. Unfortunately it does not support near RAW output on the Note 4 with Exynos. Having said that, even though I can't achieve near RAW quality with it, it's still better than Samsung's camera app.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Yep just like I mentioned.. Has to be Snapdragon so that's unfortunate in your case.. Damn Exynos..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xdm9mm:
yup, I also checked the box of N910F, and there is no apt-x logo.... I still want to know if ALL Note 4's are apt-x capable, or just specific models.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] abubasim:
It is a bit odd that no specifications page on Samsung web sites lists aptX as a supported audio codec on the Note 4. Is it that they want people to take it for granted that the codec is there? Or by not listing it, they can silently remove it if/when they get bored with paying licensing fees to CSR?

The aptX codec is one of two reasons for me getting a Note 4. The other reason was the camera, which turned out to be a disappointment due to limited supported for high quality camera output on Exynos and RAW support missing in their Lollipop ROM.

I assume that since you said a "new thread" you are not talking about the "Galaxy Tools App" which unlocks all toggles including the ones for features the phone does not support.

Can you provide a link for the thread you are talking about? Since a general search provides waaayyyy toooo many threads to sort through. Would be much easier with a link.

I would like to see what this is. I do not necessarily need air gesture but would be interested in what can be unlocked with the Note 4.

They assumed that it was a waste of resources/battery life and not 100% needed. Still looking at how they screwed up the S6 launcher... They should just have used the Note 4 one with shadows behind icons and animations. Looks and feels like a chinese clone right now.

Missing feature in Note 4? The ability to have an IR Emitter/Reciver and not only Emitter. Would be a great feature to pair IR Controllers just like older Palms did. 2 of 4 air conditioners in my house aren't in Peel Smart Remote App and the other two have some missing buttons.

not so much improvement from Note 3

you need to be hardcore Samsung fans to upgrade from Note 3 to Note 4

my only disappointment for Note 4 is screen size : i was hoping bigger size from 5.7 inch. but seeing review in several site, the screen is killing it!

btw, is Exynos 5433 a 64 bit CPU?
