[Galaxy Note 4 General] Manwithoutaphone:
Hi, could you let me know which store your picking yours from and what colour please? I have pre ordered the black but still no phone call . The Three website has also been updated to show in stock with a delievery date of the 20/10/2014.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RobHLZ:
The Actual gear 2 with microphone and stuff or the Gear Fit?

Would have loved to get my hands on the latest gear xD
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Broomfundel:
Orange Samsung Gear 2, the one with the camera etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Stroved:
Mine was delivered to my house at 9:10am, but no one was in, trying to see when I can pick it up :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Creomortis:
Wow! I'm going to see if I can get this deal, I have to wait until next friday for my phone on three! Might be worth cancelling.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
Just got mine! However I'm with friends all weekend so not gonna tempt myself and take it out of the box till I get back Sunday!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RobHLZ:
Ooooh that on a contract i'm assuming? Mine got delivered with the fit from the e-store sim free so wondering if its just an orange deal.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Beat you by about 15 mins :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Creomortis:
Good point, I assumed it was off contract since he said 630... Could you let us know please?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] akalias1981:
You can seriously do that?? I know I couldn't.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Broomfundel:
No contract, just a by the way here you go.

I dont think they even do contracts in the Smasung store.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Creomortis:
For some reason I thought you bought it from car phone warehouse...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mike_m:
Handtec expecting their stock by Monday. Waiting patiently.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RandyKaoss:
BuyMobilePhones.net have hit a new low by emailing me and saying "Today was the original release date, but Samsung have delayed it by a week".

Erm, OK, so everyone on XDA is lying about taking delivery ;)

Order promptly cancelled!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martytarty:
For those of you that don't have your note 4 yet..........it could be worse guys ;)

Well, about 5 hours after receiving my phone I've got an email from Samsung telling me it's been dispatched to me. Timely service...:silly:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] utopiate:
right, got my N4 have it rooted but want to debrand it from the three bs, anyone point me in the right direction?

cheers
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
Got mine yesterday:p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jah:
Okay you win..... And your prize.... A new Note 4 :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] paulrgod:
Looks like you need this :)

Flash the contents using Odin!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] utopiate:
thanks buddy ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] estaga:
Yay - eStore black variant just delivered - all good :)

Now - does rooting it mean i can uninstall the samsung bloatware? :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oursoul:
Yep, I've already got rid of all that Amazon crap :highfive:

I use System app remover (ROOT) :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clax6:
Well just been getting it set up and I must say WOW! It's just amazing the screen is crisp and the camera is excellent
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martytarty:
Hi, I need to debrand my o2 note 4, am I right in thinking that to correctly debrand you would also need to unlock the phone from it's network.

Is yours unlocked?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] utopiate:
nope, I rooted the phone then installed int firmware which removes all the branding then rooted again
[Galaxy Note 4 General] estaga:
Nice! thanks for the tip - just concerned about tripping the flash counters / knox, etc if i had to return it because of a dead pixel or whatever the case might be in the short term i assume there is no knox-reset-counter tools yet?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
Pardon my ignorance - but I wouldn't need to root it first to flash the latest BTU fw would I? I don't want to root, but would want to debrand thanks?..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martytarty:
Did you do any factory resets?

This was what I was going to do prior to being told to unlock it first......

1. FLASH BTU FIRMWARE

2. TURN PHONE ON

3. PERFORM A FACTORY RESET (this removes the sales code)

4. JOB DONE :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] utopiate:
nope, should be able to just install the firmware
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lawtq:
You're all big heads lol!

I can't touch mine till about 9pm. Delivered and just sitting there teasing me like a twerking beautiful woman.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Warren.D:
Mine was delivered this morning. Anyone noticed display brightness throttling? Also I'm pretty sure it's quiet in headphones that the note 3. Mine has a small gap but I can already see stuff falling in it, the curve on the glass is like a slide for debris :-O might get an exchange for an iPhone 6

It's great for simpsons tapped out though... the higher resolution means I can zoom out further and squish those damn rigellions
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cosimoss:
Mine arrived this afternoon.

Size: GS5 v Note 4

It is superb:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] zabiel:
I have problem with light flow. Led status didn't flashing.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
I noticed that the capacitive buttons and also the led lights have annoying lines across them,, can anyone else see that? That's shoddy,, my Note 2 & 3 don't have that effect?

Not sure I like that teal /blue UI either..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oursoul:
Well if you root then you're already travelling down the rabbit hole, I didn't hesitate to do it within an hour of getting the device this morning.

If I had any hardware problems then I'd still attempt a return but would understand if they told me I've voided warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rilldeverill:
finally got it now well happy The only thing I don't like is the stupid marketing from Samsung about release.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Huntyz:
I ordered on the 8th of Oct from the e-store, got no confirmation it was sent and the site just said "preparing for dispatch" but the phone turned up at 1pm and i received an email at 3pm telling me they had shipped the phone. :eek:

Anyway awesome phone i love it!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonstatt:
Bronze gold now delayed into second week of November but estore customers will be given 100 pounds voucher to spend. I don't know whether to wait now or just change the order to a black one
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
After playing around with the phone today I'm very impressed with the hardware and most aspects of the software. A few minor issues I've found are that BT sport and Sky go don't work (although hopefully will be soon updated). Also, the new watchon ir blaster app is a bit annoying in that I used to be able to have it minimised on the lockscreen but not appear in the notification panel. However this is no longer possible.

Also, the pop up multiwindow feature is a bit annoying - I keep triggering it by mistake when pulling down the notifications.

However, all in all these are really minor quibbles, the phone has exceeded all my expectations and is a worthy upgrade from the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MISSDIVA:
What a shambles,Samsung need to up their game.Instead of wasting time making videos mocking Apple, they should concentrate on doing a better job on their product launches and delivery dates.

If you really want the gold,wait it out.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
Complete shambles. I was told by the two local Three stores here that the phone won't be available to buy until the 31st due to no stock.

So I rang Three customer services , the poor guy on the phone was a nervous wreck practically,, he said the 31st as well,, he blamed Samsung totally for stalling and not supplying them..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] s.morris:
Think that is by design
[Galaxy Note 4 General] webelieveInGodButDoHeinUs:
moment of silence for me. I actually saw my phone as i want to pick it up!!! rushed home from work in the traffic. 1ST BUS WENT STRAIGHT PAST ME. 2nd bus came traffic got me so i rang them up they agreed to stay open till 545 instead of 530 CWH . I get there at 540 only to find i left my debit card at home. So i couldn't pick it up.

I dunno but god sends messages in different way
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
Bless ya, I feel it..

Don't think I'm destined to get one after today either... made me think twice anyhow..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Galaxaster:
Thank you Samsung and UK Mail

Note 4 delivered on time in the slot advised. The Gear fit arrived too which was a nice bonus.

Loving the screen and getting used to a slightly different way of working.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
At least you will get yours tomorrow, UKmail screwed up my delivery today and they won't let me collect it from the depot until at least one delivery attempt is made, which will be Monday. I am well pissed off especially as I took a day's leave. Two more days to wait, it's just agony. I know it's just a phone but it's the mighty Galaxy Note 4 and I want it.. I want it NOW godammit!

.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
Dear jonstat,

How did you get this info?

Did they email you?

I have preordered last month and still waiting for the bronze gold.

But havent heard from them at all so far.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonstatt:
I have never had an email from them even for the first two delays but I noticed the date on the samsung store changed to November 7th and so I called them up on the phone and that was what I was told. They said something about production problems which has me rather concerned too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
So when did they confirm about the 100 pound voucher to use in estore?

I tried calling them today just around 5.45 pm, was on the line for 25 minutes no one answered.

I am actually getting a bit upset, now we are waiting for a month for this phone.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonstatt:
I called at 5:30 and they said we would get an email. You are dialling 0330 Sam Shop and choosing option 2? They normally answer quickly. The problem is they already have my money. If they are as flaky as this they should not take until dispatch
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RandyKaoss:
I cancelled my order with BuyMobiles and ordered with Carphone Warehouse. Website said Out of Stock and expecting stock on the 27th. However they have just sent me a DPD tracking number! Hopefully that means it's coming tomorrow :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
Ya, tried same number.. said would take about 10 minutes to answer call by recording.

Then gave at about 6.15 pm, since no one picked up.

Hope I get an email.

Can you please let me know when you receive the email?

I am already wondering whether to go for an iphone 6 plus or nexus 6..

My money was taken in September as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonstatt:
Likewise....Please post if you get an email as apparently I should have had something for the previous delays
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
Will do..

The problem is these guys did not send me emails.

I have been trying to call them.Different people keep on telling different things.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] invisiblesense:
I played with one at Samsung store for a while today.

Impressions:

Outstanding screen, I could not believe the quality. Very solid feel in hand, much much better than my Note 3.

They were giving away a Gear 2 smart watch with every note 4 purchase. Had only 2 black version left.

I was almost tempted to buy one instead of waiting for the Note Edge but persuaded myself to wait.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] skanj:
I'd love to wait for the note edge but as far as I know it's not being released in the UK but hopefully I'm wrong.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lawtq:
I feel for you lot with the delays, damn!

I feel like such an ungrateful barsteward cause I have mine but am thinking of swapping it for the exynos version, haven't even opened it yet. Are all the UK owners happy with theirs? Is it powerful enough? Cause the 805 is practically the same as 801 cpu that my m8 had, it just doesn't excite me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] invisiblesense:
Yeah, I have long given up on the hope of buying one from a shop in UK. I did pre order one from Clove, might end buying it from any website that sells it. The problem is, I can't bear to wait until December but I really want the Edge over the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
Thought the gold looked nice.

Hope I am right.

I am bit sick of black and do not like white.

Hope it is not too blingy though.

Have you seen it in real life?

No email from Samsung yet by the way..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] silakka:
Well I got mine today in the afternoon from my local 3 store. Seemingly they only had 4 come in and the rest will have to wait another 2 weeks, poor customers... Anyways I'm over the moon with the phone. Such an upgrade from Note 2!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] avenging:
Enjoy your new notes guys and yeah in thinking of trying the gold too. Wish there was the blue like in the s5 I like that color
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cosimoss:
Quadrant:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Stroved:
So I finally got my Note 4, but I didn't get my free gear fit that was meant to come with it. Anyone know if it will be sent separately? i'm going to ring them later to see where it is.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] blair287:
mines delayed from mobiles unlocked might just cancel and get the nexus 6
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
I saw someone had commented they had got the free gear fit as well with the phone.

If you had ordered by end of september, you should get the gear fit.

Call them pronto.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Yes, I ordered at the end of September and it was delivered with the note 4, so you should too. Did you get the delay email a few weeks ago confirming it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
Called them..confirmed what you said yesterday.

Voucher of 100 GBP for delay.

Would get it to hand on 7th November.

Apparently emails would go out this weekend.

If you do not get it this weekend, you are supposed to call and let them know on Monday.

Will let you know once I actually get the email.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markboi13:
Would clove give any vouchers for their delay?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Doeshen:
Just been to oxford street store, sold out and no offer of free gear 2. Called Stratford an they too are sold out and the gear 2 promo has ended. Gutted I missed the offer, I hope they decide to extend it but I doubt they will as they are selling like hot cakes. Phone looked great in the store, so did the alpha btw...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Stroved:
Yup, got the email to confirm that I would be getting, it but I only got one package with the Note 4. Going to ring them now.

Edit: Just rang them, they said it should have been sent and they are escalating the issue, and they should ring me on Tuesday. I'm hoping UKMail has it and when I picked it up the guy forgot :/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] wizardofoz85:
Mine all came in one package. Looks like they probably didn't pack it so you might need to wait for them to send one out again
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Stroved:
I have a feeling that they packed it into 2 packages and when I picked it up, the guy only gave me one. I really want it to see what its like!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matw01:
Just got home from my local store after picking up my note 4 that i reserved thursday :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oawalker:
So DPD was meant to deliver my package from EE, got my time slot and waited for it then i get a text saying they were unable to deliver your parcel as there was no one present to sign for the delivery -_- i thought DPD were good and didn't do this kind of stuff
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oursoul:
This is why I was stood by the door for that hour yesterday morning :D

Lucky for me he came early :eek:

I'm very happy with the Note 4 24 hours later, already rooted and bloatware removed. I'm still not happy with Touchwiz's lack of customisation options so am considering loosing some advanced s-pen functions in order to have my trusty ADW Launcher EX back.. the only thing that I noticed missing when I tested ADW was the ability to 'pin' postits to the homescreens, which is a very neat feature. The s-pen button still brings up the function menu and multiwindow still works.

On topic, I got my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for £9.99 with 10GB double speed 4G data and all the trimmings for £39.59 a month 8)

Was very tempted by the z3 Compact as it's a great phone and cheap on contract but thought I'd phone up and see what they could offer me on the Note 4, came up with £120 off the asking price and more data than I can eat for less than a tenner so I was easily swayed back to the device I've been eyeing up for months.

I'm really looking forward to playing with Gear VR :good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ttav:
Went into CPW Union Square Aberdeen at 9.05am. Wasn`t expecting to find the Note 4 on sale after reading earlier comments about CPW.

No sign of a demo unit was a bad sign.Asked the nearest male assistant if they had any in stock and he replied that it hadn`t been released yet:rolleyes:

I just shook my head at him and went over to his more intelligent looking colleague (female)and was informed that there was one in stock:)

She came through with it and asked if i was buying it on contract.When i replied sim free she picked the box up and said she would have to speak with her manager

as it was the only one instore and they might not want to sell it:crying: After a few nervous minutes she came back with a smile on her face and more importantly the box

in her hand:)

Haven`t had a lot of time with the device so far but the build quality is excellent (no gaps) on my white Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
You're lucky - the staff in the Oxford branch were not as obliging..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
I said yesterday that out of the 4 CPW stores in Glasgow I visited yesterday, 1 sold it to me sim free, the others wouldn't despite them all having plenty of stock. Is it a manager in the stores decision? I think they make commission on selling contracts so don't really want to sell them sim free?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
Well in the stores you went to, did they have a self appointed 'Samsung expert'? She was the one that adamantly said Samsung had given strict orders not to sell them off contract - complete crap. Carphone warehouse would have given that directive..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ttav:
Seems to be as the assistant had to check with him. I`ve no idea how much commission the sales assistant makes off a sim free sale but she had a big smile on her face:)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
I was told to go back on Monday - but having cooled off, I'm erring towards keeping my Note 3.. audio isn't much better on the 4, the screen is gorgeous, but the UI isn't pleasant.. initial thoughts after twenty minutes with it, not long granted..

I'll think about it some more, but having doubts now..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Its also £650 which is a crazy price and disgraceful for CPW to sell it at! I managed to EBay my Z2 today for £200 which helps though.

Its a lovely phone,it really is but running into some early problems like Nova Launcher redrawing and widgets on it crashing also worried about "Knox" and rooting (which is really needed for Viper to help with audio and Xposed for tinted status bar etc) so it seems its not without its problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
I know I had the cash on me, still no go. Hope Nova gets sorted, that's the first thing I'd be running on it,, perhaps it'll get an update to fix it? Hope so, trouble is even if I wait - Sim free prices won't come down for months, if at all?

There's bound to be lots of 'unwanted' upgrades on Gumtree soon, but not advisable, as I guess ppl have the contracts to pay for 24 months, and sell the phone for instant cash,, when they default the payments, phone gets barred?

Hmm shall ponder some more..

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

And Knox also, worried about tripping that as well,, I tripped it early on my Note 3 and was constantly worried after..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ttav:
I`ve just set up Nova Prime.Only a few widgets running. HD Widgets,Flipboard,PowerAmp and Battery monitor all running fine. I imported a save from my note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Have you thought about joining PSC forum? It's a lot more exclusive than gumtree and the like and is made up of tech loving geeks. I've bought and sold on there loads of times and never had am issue. If you're interested I'll send you a link - you'll just need to email the admin to join. I'm pretty sure there will be a note 4 on there soon at a good price.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jah:
It is all nonsense Apple for example would not make you buy a contract to get one of their phones. Samsung really need sort out their customer service.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
I still had the Touchwiz launcher running in the background so I think that was using a lot of RAM and causing Nova to close when using other apps. Rebooted and seems OK now.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
Dear Jonstatt,

Received email an hour back.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RandyKaoss:
My Note 4 is due to arrive on Monday from CPW. Longest weekend ever ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
Ha cos Im crazy plus I want to spend all my time with it as I've been with an Iphone for over two years now.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Ok, Silly question time, when I opened the box in a small little plastic thing was like a tweezer type thing and 5 small long bits (vague I know!)

What are these? Kind find any information on them and it's the first time I've seen something like this?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] oursoul:
Yeah good question, I'd forgotten about this since yesterday...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] squidink14:
I went to two CPW stores today. One said they wont have any until the 27th, the other had two in stock - one black one white. I got the black one sim free no problem. He even checked he was allowed to before selling it to me and said it was fine. I don't know why some stores are refusing to sell them until Monday.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ttav:
It`s replacement tips for the pen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Nuu~:
S-Pen tips and a tool to remove them.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Warren.D:
I got my simfree note 4 yesterday and it slipped out of my pocket on to paving stones! :eek: couple of little scuffs. I wanted to take it back to carphone today and exchange it for an iPhone 6. Guess I'm stuck with it now :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Oh man I feel your pain! Maybe it was fate telling you that you should stick with the note 4!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mike_m:
Anyone ordered from Handtec UK. Have used them several times in the past but have seen little reference to them in the Nite4 forums.

Last news I had from them was they were expecting their stock to arrive Monday.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] voges:
May I kindly know how you got the 10 percent off code..

No such luck for me..

This is the first time im going to order from the samsung store..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
It was a goodwill gesture from when I ordered the K Zoom and was supposed to receive a case free with it.

Just hoping they do honour the gear fit this time as it's only advertised on certain pages on their site.

Samsung do often have promotional codes, when I ordered the K Zoom there was a 20% off code floating about..

Youre welcome to see if the code works for you, although I've a feeling it's a one time code,

Thank you!
