[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
I called my local flagship samsung store in stratford london yesterday and they stil don't know of a release date or price for the note 4. They don't even know when they are going to get demo's in or when pre orders wil start. Imo that is a joke, it is over a week since announcement and nothing since then. Sony announced the z3/z3 compact on same day and within a matter of hours had the price and pre orders up on their website and within a matter of days had the release date.

I have also phoned some stores and they should have demos in by wednesday so i am told.

My mate works in a vodafone shop says Iphone demos are out tomorrow
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
I agree.

A huge and experienced company like Samsung would easily be able to know how many units to build and how long that will take. In the meantime if we at least knew when it was going to be available to buy (carrier free) then we have the knowledge to decide how to proceed. Announcing a product with a vague "sometime in October" time frame (which gives them an 8 week window) is poor.

As a lot of others have said it's obviously just some marketing strategy that can ONLY benefit Samsung and not its consumers.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
I disagree completely. The people who are set on the Note won't change their mind, but there are people on the fence and undecided. Those people will flock to the "innovation that is the bigger iPhone". Apple knows how to market and sell a phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr Dasher:
Which is better, to have the announcement now with release in October or to have the announcement in October with a quicker release? I prefer the info now so I can make a better informed decision (and give me weeks to complain). I do fault Samsung for at least not publishing the price but I feel that the release date has to do more with the carriers than Samsung. They need a lot of companies on board to make this launch happen. Plus it creates more buzz.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Baratheonist:
Apparently, the N4 risks being classified as a medical device and if so can cause launch delays.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
Figures. A bunch of "features" that next to nobody will use or cares about is going to cause delays. :eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
Samsung must have wanted to get people thinking about the Note 4 knowing that Apple would be releasing a direct competitor and knowing they wouldn't have it ready to ship for another month or two. We can all agree they still screwed up and many potential customers will be lost however not as many as if the phone still had not been announced.

My local Samsung store in Alberta was taking reservations on Friday for either color. No word on pricing or release date but it's better then nothing.

There needs to be a widespread pre-order like this, online as well even if it doesn't include pricing or dates. It makes people (myself anyways) feel a lot better while we patiently wait.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Well we cant really count the weak minded ppl :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] scooterd:
in the U.S., the devices can't legally be sold until they have passed through the FCC certification process. The certification for the last of the big 4 was just submitted to the FCC for certification on September 12th. There is a process in place that must be followed after the devices are announced.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
And yet Apple announces one day and ships the next week. At some point, I had to stop making excuses for Sammy. They way they launch these phones is absolutely terrible, from the presentation to the hush-hush about prices to the long stretch to get products into retail. For a world leader in electronic devices, they need to work on this part of the business a bit more.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] waydigga:
Apple's ip6/6+ has to be a factor here in a few ways. 1) Carriers bow to Apple when they release a new product. They are top priority with great reason. The iphone is the single most popular phone in the world. Carriers cant downplay or go half in on an iphone launch. Apple has the power to dictate launch terms including marketing/merchadising priority. 2) Is it wise of Samsung to fight Apple for buzz/attention right now? The Note series has gained popularity with each release but doesnt have the universal appeal of the iphone. The Note is beyond niche status, but its not close to iphone regarding overall appeal. Samsung knows this. Theyd be foolish to challenge Apple for attention/market share right now. I think Samsung and carriers are waiting to announce pricing/availability soley bc of the iphone. Its kind of the opposite of what snapchat did (Snapchat founders settled out of court with a disgruntled "cofounder"....This occurred on Sept 9)... Snapchat used Apples event to hide negative news about their company. So why would Samsung want positive Note related news to be overshadowed by ip6 hype? Id expect more note news to come a few days to a week after the iphone officially launches. The ip6/6+ will likely sell out in all channels. At that point, itll be a "perfect" time to announce details or even start preorders for hopefully immediate shipment.

---------- Post added at 03:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

Another interesting thing is: for the first time, apple is releasing a "phablet" sized phone in the 6+. This is obviously Apple's answer to the Note and all other phablet flagships. You have to admire Samsung and other oems for forcing Apple into another product category. Now im expecting more innovation since Apple is no longer afraid to deviate from its comfort zone (one small size fits all approach). I wouldnt be surprised if this changes samsungs launch strategy going forward. We may see Note devices launch earlier or later (based on Apple's fall launches)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
Ha! I hadn't thought about that, you are right! It's Apple bowing down to be more like its competitors and that makes me feel pretty good :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jammol:
The reason phones are announced so far ahead is because of the market diversity. Apple doesn't have to sorry about it that much because they only sell their own products based on their software.

Samsung has to compete with Apple and every single other Android software based phone maker. Announcement timing is everything. They have to announce earlier than actual release because they have to build a client base. Advertising is key for new products as the more airtime your product gets, the more customers you can attract. Apple doesn't worry about this because they are comfortable with their customer base.

I understand the waiting and all that being excited for something but no thought is being our into why you have to wait. Now you know.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
We all understand it's about marketing. It doesn't always equal more sales for them tho. I was all about the LG Gpad, but it took so long to become available, I didn't even want it anymore. I "almost" didn't buy this G3 (I still regret getting it) because I seen so many pictures/review videos that it was old news by the time we actually got our hands on it.

When you make a living making fun of other companies and their short comings (Apple), then you better bring your "A" game when it comes to getting your product to your customers. Apple may be using a bigger screen(copying Samsung), standing by the wall charger and whatever else Samsung says, but at least they have their product going to their customers and probably in their hands ~2 weeks after being announced. They also aren't full of carrier bloatware, or allowing carriers to strip apps and features (hello download booster, task apps, every OEM stock browser on Verizon, built in call blockers, etc)

I'll wait for the Note, because I know what I'll be getting, but the average user will not, and that's what will tell the story of the smartphone "king". It's the silence that kills us. They should have this BS worked out before the announcement. If it won't be available for a month later, so be it, just let us in so we know.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jammol:
True that. And what's worse is that because they take so long, we end up getting upset when the next device comes out. I still think it is up to the consumer to be patient as in your case with the G3. People will always talk crap about a device, but it is up to us to like the device.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] waydigga:
The Verge reports that the Note will go on sale October 10th with Preorders starting tomorrow.... In the UK though : (

Im optimistic that US carriers will announce preorders/launch date/pricing early next week.

Hi. I need help, cuz something weaks up my screen every few seconds. It doesn't happens if i hold the proximity sensor. It also doesn't happens if the phone is in deep sleep.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] cheaterbug:
Hi, I just started flashing for the first time.

I first did a root using EternityProject EasyRootICS v1.5.

Then I installed recovery Razr ClockWorkMod Touch 5.8.4.5 Black Edition and made a backup.

Then I flashed this rom ([ROM][4.4.4][AOSP][CDMA/GSM][Unofficial] SlimKat)

I did a clean install and after pressing reboot, it stays a blank screen. When I disconnect my USB, I hear the sound of a device disconnecting vice versa meaning my phone is still working??

My previous android was running 4.0.4.

Please help?

Now onto RDS Lite, it's saying failed flashing process. 1/24 flash cdt.bin_signed -> Phone returned failed :(

That is JB or ICS?

I don´t for sure what firmware is for your country,I searched a little just now,some people saying that this Android 4.0.4

Motorola gave out the dual-SIM version to journalists, including myself, yesterday. Is this not the one being sold on Amazon?

Actually, I find it hard to see anything on Amazon. Not helped by Motorola thinking it could call the new Moto G the Moto G (2nd generation) or Moto G 2014 as people are also calling it.

It makes it quite hard to identify which is which on the website, and no doubt elsewhere.

[Moto 360] knoxploration:
My guess is it wasn't hard at all, they just choose not to because they're making the metal wrist strap a premium item for a higher profit margin -- but they don't want the price reported as $300 in early reviews and news stories.
[Moto 360] daoist:
I don't buy the conspiracy theory.

Devices come out all the time in different configurations at different price points and it doesn't seem to bother anyone.

Also, If it's so easy and they want the profit margin, why not sell the accessory now? The best time to sell accessories is right away before interest tails off.

Buy it or not, I don't really care. I have worked at Motorola myself, and my career for the last two decades has been in consumer electronics. I know whereof I speak.

They're almost certainly delaying just to game reviews and get more profit. (It's $50 extra for phone with metal strap; want to take bets on whether the metal strap alone costs more than $50?)

Think about it: the strap is by far the easiest part to make. There's no reason to delay it, or at least, no production reason.
