Hey Delboy - Is there a native function of call recording like LG-G3?

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Yes it can.

Heres the screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/RMHS8Ww.jpg

Nope.

Hard to tell. By the sound seems plastic, but its small surface so cant be sure 100%.

Will check later in call and reprot back.

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] - videos coming soon
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Here are the videos:

Hi, will be getting the note 4 on wednesday. Im from the Philippines. Im torn between the black and the white. I wana ask which one looks good in person?

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Also the home button how does it compare to the note 3's home button? I like the note 3 than my note 2s home button because its softer to press and its not flushed like the note 2s
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Both look very smooth to me and can't tell the difference played back on my note 3 screen. Is the difference significant when played back on the note 4 screen?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Not much difference really.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
I suppose you need a big screen to really take advantage of it, although I wonder of the slight trade off in smoothness would be worth it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Chocu1a:
Scapbook syncs across my Note 3 & 10.1.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
No problem mate. I am happy that there is someone else with phone.

And to all, I have tried GTA San Andreas on max settings and it was smooth, no lag or anything.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Thx mate.. And what do you think about problems which mentioned at upper comment by Sao you noticed same?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
On what problems are you referring?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
In Connection battery and cpu titles he wrote some issues.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SandyJK:
One question, can you give it to me? Lol JK
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nds850:
What about sound quality with headphones? I'm not impressed with the audio quality on my S4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
To answer now :D

No, I dont have reception issues, either with wifi or mobile network. I must say reception is better then some phones I had.

About battery, I tend to use Quickpic. Not fan of stock galleries
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Great to know, thank you DelBoy. The video showing lag with max settings it's with snapdragon variant. Maybe not yet optimized for SD805 or the Exynos simply handle intense GPU apps better. Most of us won't have the chance to choose between them anyway.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hempy:
Can you check your YouTube app? When I first got mine I was able to view 1440p videos via the app and now I don't seem to be able to at all. I've uninstalled back to the stock app, checked, updated, and I can't seem to get it back. It's hard to show off the screen on demand without it :/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
720p seems to be the max quality I can choose in setting.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ItsDayDreamer:
Forgive me if this has been asked, but have you (or anyone else) actually tried towelroot?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hempy:
Hmm...I know I was able to do 1440p at first.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Havent tried.

I reckon also there was an option.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] robertc88:
i'm locked out of that resoultion on youtube videos at BB as well. Not sure what happened, it worked the other day.

I brought my G3 with me yesterday for comparison purposes but I guess I'll just have to wait until when I get the Note 4 at launch.

Does it have Miracast or DLNA?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Thats just bad.

Hi DelBoy or any Note 2/3/4 owner,

If you can share you experiences with this area (see my thread below), it'd be very much appreciated:

Thank-you!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Why is that ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
That's a really good question. I not even know why some videos is restricted to PCs and even sending the link to a mobile it says something like "this video can't be played on mobile devices". It's 2014... There's not much difference between mobile devices and some laptops.

Weeks ago I read somewhere that Google were adding 2k capabilities to g3 owners and now it removes 1080p. That's just non sense.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SAO:
Sound quality no headphones, seems a bit low during call. Otherwise it is ok.

Hmmm... ok, need to check that out a bit more.

Nope, i don't dare to try...

PS: It started raining here, so i won't take pictures of the rain :)

EDIT : just uploaded the new Screenshot for battery usage , FYI i haven't used the gallery for more than 2 hours.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Not only to G3, every device with a 2k display... I could watch 2k videos in my Galaxy note 10.1 2014.

I really don't understand.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Quote from another forum

"I recently purchased a GS5, and discovered that every time I used the Gallery, DCMProvider and Downloads processes (as displayed using OSMonitor) would use the CPU for several minutes. However, there is an easy solution: open Gallery, click the top right "settings" icon (looks like 3 vertical dots), select Content, then deselect Picasa (now only "Content in device" should be checked). You might need to reboot or let DCMProvider finish doing whatever it is doing, but after that you should be able to use the Gallery app or camera app without having your phone eat CPU."
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
Same on my z2. Google must have changed it as I could previous choose any resolution?

How is ios in your opinion and also low light shots I mean indoor with only normal lights on at evening. Wife's S5 is awful at this and also at capturing anything moving say kids or pets. Hoping the N4 has a different sensor.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raiu:
Can you confirm that is has dock mode? Car mode
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Unfortunately very few phones will do well capturing movement in low light without a large sensor or xenon flash. And by large sensor we're probably talking 1 inch plus.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Call recording is not possible. There is no such option in call.

Dont understand quesiton about bluetooth.

It is very accurate and with very good recognition.

Thats got to be something with your phone/software. I am using Quickpic, but I open gallery from time to time and never seen this usage in battery info.

Only dock option I could find was "Play sounds when inserting and removing device from dock".
[Galaxy Note 4 General] raiu:
That means it will see that you docked it. I hope it has output through dock.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
The Z series do very well and best including lumia devices. Wondered how the N4 does. Not a discussion its a q and a with op but thanks for your input.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Forgot to say. Compared screen with my Nexus 5. White seems yellowish compared to Nexus. :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Really ?? In which mode do you have the screen ?

Try basic mode.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Basic mode is the worse.

I am using it in adaptive mode. Adaptive mode is similar to amoled cinema, and amoled photo is similar to basic mode.

White on N5 is really white. You can just see the difference when it is compared side by side.

Of course, when you are using only Note 4 you will not see this and this is nothing bad.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
No surprise at all. Nexus 5 has IPS and IPS is well know with white whites just like amoled well know with dark blacks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
I am just surprised because I heard about the Nexus 5 having a yellow screen too xD
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
That was the issue with some units when it came out and it was due to bad color setup. It can be fixed with custom kernel and display colors playing. France issue the fix.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
Aaah, ok. François ? Nice guy.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Franco :D

Typo ahahha
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
I just saw something odd when recording video. If recording video and you take a picture does the screen freeze for that moment. It does on the S5 but hoping not on the N4. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SAO:
Doesn't freeze for me. Above 1080 you can't take pictures.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
On S5 or N4? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SAO:
This is a N4 thread... So on the N4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
I see you have N910U version.

That is some carrier version or?

I have N910C so I wonder what is the difference
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SAO:
Hong Kong version. Expynos Cpu. Don't know the difference... Yours came from mainland China right?

No carrier on mine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
I believe N910C is universal Exynos version.

Would not know much about details.

Dont know where it came from really.

They make really to many version of the same phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
Just seen the videos of 4K and 1080p looks nice. When you have time please could you upload some video of walking to test ois. Thanks man. This thread is very helpful for us.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Eibt5_0EVo
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yahyoh:
dont put a lot of hope on it , it will probably have low volume especially with high impedance headphones because samsung dont allow the dac to run on max output ( something to do european regulations ) u need aftermarket kernel to use the max output
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
Speaker quality?

What's the actual speaker like on the Note 4 please? On my Note 3 the audio is thin (when watching YouTube or listening to any audio without earphones)

How is the sound on the 4 please?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] SAO:
Not that fantastic honestly. Waiting for root to be able to boost it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Sound is good. It could be louder. Sound quality is okay, sometimes sound seems flat but all in all its good.

And to someone who asked about video while walking. I will upload it later today in 1080 and 4k
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Snesco:
you said whites look a bit yellow..could you try basic mode and turn off "auto adjust screen tone" in display setting and turn off power saving from quick settings and see if it is still yellow..thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
So is it fair to say the speaker audio is better than on the Note 3, but not as good as the Note 2?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RCJ89:
I thought the headphone volume is good on samsungs since the note 3, and the note 4 is louder to me than the s5 which in turn is louder than the note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Posted few posts back that.

Basic is the worst mode you could use. Just switching from Adaptive to basic mode you see how the white is yellow on basic(yes, with auto adjust turned off and I have never used power saving).

I really do not remember how audio was on Note 2 :D

Headphone volume is good, it can get really loud and sound quality is nice.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
If you have the chance please fake any other device without OIS for comparison.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowFlare:
According to Display Mate, White under Photo Mode and Basic Mode are practically spot on (6,564K from the 6,500K target).

Under Adaptive Display, they mentioned it's rather Bluish (7,395K), but then again the display adapts to the surrounding lighting. So in his case, maybe Yellowish due to the phone adapting to the light in his room?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Tried it in different condtions, even outside and it was always the same.

Basic and photo are yellowish and adaptive and cinema are bluish like you said l. But compared with IPS screen even adaptive is yellowish.

Yes, even when adapt colors from outside is turned off basic and photo is yellowish.

Maybe screen on my unit is that way, but I doubt. Thats just how it is. Its been many generations and it was always yellowish.

Of course, you wont see this in normal use. You see this only when comparing with some other screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yahyoh:
thats good to hear , ive listened to GS3 , GS4 , N2 with stock kernel , N3 and they all sound same mostly with in ear headphones and kinda low with over ear headphones

Htc M8 and Iphones would still the best for driving headphones with stock setting
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Can u make gfxbench onscreen/offscreem i couldnt find it in thread.

And can u try gamebench with gta san andreas and asphalt 8 so we can see real gpu power and the fps this can push.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hempy:
I didn't notice much of a difference at all between my stock Note 2 and Note 4. This was switching back and forth on the same song on Spotify
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
I had a look at the Note 4 at a Best Buy store this weekend. I thought the rear speaker compared favorably with the two previous Notes. Not great but more than acceptable.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Warren.D:
I'm really looking forward to this phone. Everything is perfect. But the gaps concern me... After a week it's gonna be full of dust and lint
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
Just my opinion but the gap issue is way overblown.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
+1, can't see the gap as a issue. I think my Galaxy s4 has the same gap and it never bothered me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JCM800:
Interesting - would you please tell me what its like when viewing YouTube videos audio wise compared to the Note 2? (for me the Note 2 is the benchmark for depth and volume in a mobile)

If the 4 is better then the 3 and very close to the 2 then I'm on board.

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Does the front-facing camera still distort the image on around the border of the image (stretch faces, etc. ) similar to the S5?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
Check the LTE bands supported by the model and your carrier. This stuff may vary from carrier/note 4 version not depending on being a snap or exynos note 4.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

Gamebench would be awesome! I know we're asking a lot but... this would be a real gaming test and the first to be seen for the note 4!

Game suggestions:

Asphalt 8

GTA which everyone is talking about

Minion Rush

Real Racing 3

Anyone with the 805 version to do the same? :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pcman2000:
Depends - it shouldn't get damaged if you use the plastic tip.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ipmanwck:
Go with snapdragon. There is a reason almost all manufacturers use it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
I agree
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Nuu~:
Keep in mind that more popular doesn't always mean better.

We'll have to wait a few weeks for our specific Exynos vs Snapdragon case though.

Once the Snapdragon version becomes available in more countries, we should see some direct comparisons between the two models.

Personally I'm particularly interested in the battery performance of the Snapdragon.

Well Root is available now for internation galaxy note 4 via [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] . do you plan on rooting and manually debloating? I would love an account on how the note runs with bloat removed, as well as xposed goodies thrown on there.

How good is the OIS in 4k mode ? Are those videos really stable ? IS HDR working in 1080P 60fps smooth motion mode ?

What's the aperature of back camera lens, is it F/2.2 or F/2 ? Can you post some low light shots ? How good is the 720P 120 fps mode ? Is it really 720p resolution or just upscaled 360P ?

What about the battery life? Do you have some screenshots of a normal day usage? And what about screen time?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Looks excellent but would be nice to also see some footage shot without a tripod. Unless the OIS is THAT good! [emoji6]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
You can find true untouched 4K video here on my dropbox, there is a link.

I will upload later another one.

Battery life is good. On average you will get 5-6 hours of screen on.

I believe with custom roms and other that could be much better.

The 4K video made a lot of things look sharper than it should be... Nice feature but I still believe it is ahead of its time.

I absolutely cannot stand the S-Finder/quick connect button, I do not plan to root my phone so having these there seems like such a waste.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dwj:
You're right. I wasn't being entirely serious. I assumed it was a spelling mistake and that it was just the millionth time that someone had asked if it bends.

Either Displaymate got a device with something different, or you might have got a device with a slightly off display. That, or Displaymate is incorrect.

Iphone 6 plus blends nicely :o
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Yes, especially when all the TouchWiz stuff takes up more than half of the notification drop down.

Unfortunately all the ways to remove it involve a root phone from my research which I do not want to concern myself with.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gtg465x:
I think DisplayMate gets units that are hand picked and specially calibrated, not retail units. They are provided by Samsung long before official release after all. Probably why other sites that test displays never rate Samsung displays as well as DisplayMate. I will trust Anandtech's review more because they often test retail units.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Only dock option is about sound when you connect and disconnect dock.

Dont know, I got retail unit.

As I said before. I will not worry about that because in normal use you dont see the difference, only when you compare side by side. I am not picky and it is totally fine to me.

btw, uploading two short videos in 4k and 1080 shoot while moving and zooming.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
What do you think about battery after 1 week we are seeing terrible results bu other people.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
My white note 4 is coming on friday. Im so excited. Big upgrade coming from a note 2. I chose snapdragon.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
It gets me through day and by that I mean I get around 5-6 hours screen on time.

Network is always on and it is switching automatically between 2G/3G/4G and wifi is on at home and work only.

I am satisfied with battery. With that capacity and specifications in phone plus usage and TW I think it is decent.

Battery from Huawei Mate 7(4100 mAh) would seem even better here but this is nice also.

Average "joe" users will get probably two days easily.

With some custom roms, aosp for example it could get even better I believe.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
5-6 hours is excellent I'd be well pleased with that as currently get around 4 with my note 3. How does the battery fare with off screen activities like streaming music via bluetooth?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Thank you. İ saw 2hour screen on time on normal usage and its very dissaponting my note 3 was getting 4 hours without game if this can get 5-6 hours its ok for me. And are u still satisfied with phones experience(touchwiz lags transition effect stutters etc)

And can you try 4k recording on pop up screen and try to use phone normaly and see how it reacts i tried on snapdrsgon version it was low fps like power saving but still usable how is exynos version in this sitution?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
Havent tried something like, never used it before.

Tried it only with downloading files from my private ftp and battery was really holding great with that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:
You will get two hours SOT and still have 65-70% battery left here :D

Afer one week there is still no lag in TW. Even dialer is fast and without lag. Only lag is still opening recent apps.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] kannanX10:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] DelBoy:

There is. 5 minutes is maximum lenght.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
Your 4k video played on my note 2 is laggy. Maybe the cpu cant handle it
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
Played ok on my note 3, although obviously due to resolution couldn't tell the difference between that and 1080p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabrielgon:
Is that because the internal SD is FAT 32? What if you save to the external micro SD, would it have this limitation?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Lodix:
GPU mostly.
