i finally got my N4 at around 5pm i had to go pick it up at fedex i called them around 3 to find out why it wasnt delivered yet and after verifying who i was and where i live there said it was on its way at aroudn 400 pm they called my wife and stated that there was a issue when they tried to deliver and that the address was wrong

1- didnt you verify my address when i called at 3pm

2- and if he would have actually tried to deliver i sould have seen him from my front window where i was sitting since 8am

3- the damn verizon worker who took my order forgot to put my apt number when she placed my order

wtf after this whole fiasco i really may just switch carriers when my contract is up for my next phone
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zander145:
Same thing happened to me!! Except I didn't have the option to go pick it up... I have to wait for it to be delivered... Knew i should have just gone to the fedex place around 5...

Just got this bad beast! Everything is amazing on it! The connection just amazes me! They also didn't lie when they said it has fast charging! I went from 18% to 67 in like 20 min while using my phone half the time at low brightness
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JCatNY:
Mine arrived earlier today. Popped it open this evening, and my jaw is still somewhere around the house. Frigging amazing.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dcbm31:
Got my Note 4 today. I just can't get over how amazing the display is!!!!!!!!!

cannot write anything to extsd

cannot write anything to my 64gb sd card, what the heck! Am I missing some settings? All my songs, all the pictures in ext sd are only readable.

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Did any of you have trouble activating the phone? I am upgrading from a S3 but the N4 came with a sim card installed and I was asked to turn off the older phone while starting up the N4.AFter 10 mins I get an error about unable to activate and move closer to window for better signal. Tried it few times and no dice. Should I call VZW to get help with this or is there an easy way around?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jaysun70:
I upgraded from a s3 and had no issues
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] LagunaTechie:
I had to call on my old phone to activate the SIM. Verizon gives you a number in the activation guide and on the error menu on the actual phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jake21:
Just took a picture; and it was written to the card; when to filemanager and deleted picture; sd card seems to work fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Note4fan:
Agreed.......camera is incredible
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
guys, samsung phones and SanDisk 64 gig cards do not play well. my s4 killed my SanDisk 64 gig to the point where I had to replace it... it worked fine for months, then I put it in my tab s, and it became corrupt yet again. my 32 gig class 6 never had a problem, and it's an older card. I've got that in my note 4 now bc i don't trust those SanDisk 64 gig cards. I'm going to buy the Samsung 64 gig card bc people say they work perfectly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] flydeep:
In the end, I used the sim from S3 and it worked, thanks for the info though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] LagunaTechie:
I have the newest version (according to amazon) of the sandisk 64gb micro SD card. I have had zero issues. Of course it's only been a a day and a half I have had this phone, but if it continues to act as it does now, I will be pleased. I did fully format the card first before I loaded 60 gigs of photos and videos onto it. I don't know whether this made a difference or not.

I'm interested to see how it acts in the long run! I hope it doesn't die like it did for your s4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
yeah, keep an eye out. it worked fine in my tab S for 3 months and then just started randomly unmounting and re-mounting..i'd go into gallery, and it would just show up as gray boxes. nothing would load, gallery would freeze up, i'd unmount, and when i remounted it would say it's bad and needs to be formatted. sandisk is a joke to me now; i'll try samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidrev71:
FedEx tried to deliver mine at the wrong house. They went to a house on the next block. I was checking tracking and it said no one available.. i was like like what?!?! Truck went past my house and chased him down and denied he had a delivery on my street but had on the next street over. Tried to explain to him there was an error but denied having it. I went to the next street over with the same house number and there was the FedEx tag! Idiot!!! Had to go to FedEx later to pick up.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
i suspect the sd card problems are probably because they are sandisk. They can't even reliably be used in gopro cameras and i recommend using any brand excep them.

The read write speed advertised is actually not accurate on the cards themselves and as a result, you can'take reliably write things like hd video to them.

Go pro even modified the firmware to auto detect SanDisk, and limit video resolution and framerate if you have a SanDisk installed.

Also, someone reported 128gb cards work fine!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] skrubol:
I had the exact same experience. I haven't tried anything with NFC yet, do you know if that works with an S3 era SIM? Any other SIM differences worth trying to get the new one to work?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
Hope so. Never know tho. Tmobile guys are apparently getting theirs early this week, but some are being reported as back ordered.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bythe:
Oh, I see. I didn't order it with verizon, I did it with best buy because I want reward points. I did order iPhone 6 plus with Verizon and it came couple days before expected ship date.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mmw68666:
So did i
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] zander145:
I pre-ordered my note 4 on the 2nd. I still have "Your order is processing. Your shipping details will be available soon." from verizon... Haven't had any further emails either. Getting kinda worried they messed up my order...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
no, that's the message until it's actually shipped out. from the moment you pre-order, to even after it's shipped, it stays the same.

i'm pretty sure i got an email tracking number for my GS5 before that update page was even updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkchild128:
I just ordered mine from best buy. The person helping me told me that they have not gotten an official release date from Verizon. They we either get them on the 17th or the 24th. I ordered a privacy screen protector and a phone case last night. Still waiting on a battery case to be released.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] alhadee12:
I preordered with T-Mobile and my device is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daboyal006:
ok verizon, t-mobile customers are receiving note 4s today, can we at least get past the processing part lol . Any step forward would be fine. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JasonJoel:
If you go to order one from Verizon it specifically says Oct 23. So I expect that is the release date for everyone. That would also explain why there are no status updates - they update right when they ship.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daboyal006:
I was sarcastically speaking, BUT tmobile started the next step about 8 days prior to release date which is 10/17 and received it 4 days prior to 10/17. So to sum it up,i was joking but technically speaking, some companies don't go by delivery eta. Just saying-Thanks for the reply though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JasonJoel:
Gotcha! And you are right that the companies don't always stick exactly to the schedule every time.

I've received 2 phones from Verizon before the status was ever updated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daboyal006:
I hope history repeats itself lol I left tmobile for verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cdrshm:
So just a general question, even if you pre order from bb or another box store. The cell companies still have the say of when to release it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
It sounds like it. I called bb and Verizon today to get the real scoop.. T-mobile gets them today, sprint and att on this Friday, and Verizon slacks off till the 24th.

Makes no sense at all to me... Why would you let your competitors get an edge on you? Bb did tel, me they didn't care themselves which carrier I signed with, so longer as I got a 2 year contract.

My wife loves Verizon for some reason, so to keep the peace, guess I'll wait.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cdrshm:
What do you mean? They Will give you the phone regardless of the carrier on the 17th? :) :) ha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cdrshm:
http://www.androidcentral.com/us-cellular-taking-pre-orders-samsung-galaxy-note-4-oct-17-launch.

US cellular just started taking pre orders amd they offer it the 17th.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Chuckleb0ne:
I really hope the 23rd is the estimated arrival date. Maybe Verizon might surprise us and get it to its customers on the 17th. They do that sometimes, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] brickbeats:
I just spoke to a best but phone rep who told me the estimated in store arrival date is the 16th :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
Hope that's true!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] uaDPJ:
Well I imagine it is, since the release date for every carrier but Verizon is the 17th. I'd imagine you can buy it with a contract from everybody but Verizon until they get their **** together.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sean9721:
Was this for the Verizon version?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cdrshm:
+1. Im curious if they arw just assuming or if they have/had it in writting of when the different provider phones will arrive
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] forsaken82:
The Samsung rep at my local best buy told me that it will be Friday for Verizon in store. to bad i preordered from Verizon and not best buy. Guess we shall see. im gonna be frustrated if mine doesn't show up at my house on Friday and it is in stores.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Verizon is 10/23 and so is Best Buy since they honor the ship date starts for carriers. BB and VZW are now consistent with 10/23. I asked a Samsung rep at our local BB and the date was 10/23, as was BB & VZW replies. Since

10/23 is the date both parties state including the Samsung rep, I will presume 10/23 is real. I think it is stupid, but probably real. Boo!

VZW has to have that extra time for even extra bloat!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ttreed07:
I am a former store manager for verizon and I am still in contact with my old reps at the store. They are being told by the director of sales for the region that preorders are being shipped out on the 14th (today) I watched my order status change 3 times last night. I am assuming that they were updating something. It was originally 10/23 then 10/24, 10/31 then 10/14 and back to 10/23. I cant make any promises but I am hoping I get the email confirmation of it bwing shipped today.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
Lol. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but no.

It's the 23rd. Next week. Verizon doesn't care at all about carriers beating them to the punch because, until someone builds up their network..there is no real threat.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggydoc:
Is that for in store preorders or preorders in general?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ttreed07:
That was for their in store preorders.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
Unfortunately, THIS.

We can always hope VZW feels "pressured" though :) ;)

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

If that is correct, there should be visibility now for corporate staff in store to look on POS and see the status movement and also customers would see the credit card charges. Not a peep so far.....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ttreed07:
Like I said I cant make any promises but dealing with these situations in the past the POS never updated until 5pm Eastern time. We shall see. Haha
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hovscorpion12:
That is false. Verizon Wireless will be selling the Galaxy Note 4 in stores on October 17, This Friday and shipping the Note 4 online on Oct 23.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

The Galaxy Note 4 will go live on Oct 17 in stores for ALL carriers including Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless will be shipping for those who ordered online the Galaxy Note 4 on Oct 23.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gcforreal:
OK can u link to where it says Verizon note 4 goes on sale this week? Everything I've seen points at the 23rd including their website. Also why would they wait until 23rd to ship pre orders if it'll go live I n store a week earlier??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hovscorpion12:
"AT&T and Verizon already started taking pre-orders ahead of the Galaxy Note 4 release date of October 17th. That date applies to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon." http://www.hallels.com/articles/892...alaxy-note-4-release-date-on-october-17th.htm

"Verizon will release the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Oct. 17.

The Oct 23 for Online pre-orders. I do not know why. All online pre-orders including AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint show the 17th.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkchild128:
You'd think they'd let people who pre-ordered the phone get their hands on the product before everyone else, that would be an easy selling point and i'm sure that it would be added sell-security. It'd be a nice perk to have.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gcforreal:
Yea pre orders for Verizon have live for two weeks at least but j don't believe they are actually gonna sell them in store or online until the 23rd. They released the note 3 this way as well a week after everybody else. I hope you're right but judging by Verizon website it'll be 23rd before we have the phone in hand
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggydoc:
Just got off the phone with my local Verizon rep, he says his store will have them this Friday and said there was really no point of preordering. Planning on coming in Friday morning, canceling my online order in store and picking one up right then and there.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daboyal006:
I just got off the phone with my Verizon corporate store and was told the date they were given was the 23rd and was given no info about the 17th..lol someone isn't telling the truth here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gcforreal:
I want it to be the 17th so bad but everything official including Verizon website and best buy says 23rd. The only thing that says 17th is word of mouth. I'm putting my money on the 23rd I hate it but it's probably the correct release date.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] twistedx17:
Just to join in the fun I called 5 Verizon stores near me. 3 said the 23rd. 1 said the 24th. and 1 said the 28th. Wow, Verizon really needs to do a better job of communicating to their stores.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daboyal006:
Haha I would go with the majority vote lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] delcopa:
I figure of it is released at bb or at the store on the 17 th I'll just go in and pick one up and just cancel the online order.

That's the problem I see if bb goes live on the 17 th they would have to also or they will do twice as much work cause everyone will cancel and get it from bb.

I'm figuring the go live date will be universal across the board. Now 17 th or the 23rd hope for the 17 th but with the wording on the Website is ship by date. Granted even though it says that it also says could be later they never lock in lol. But some devices do ship early even from big v.

I figured I would try preorder once but if there is no benefit like having day of release or even day before this will be my first, and last time pre-ordering.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
But none mentioned the 17th ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] uaDPJ:
That doesn't make any sense. Verizon wouldn't punish the people who pre-ordered by making them wait an extra week? That would piss off waaaayy too many people, and make preordering completely useless. The people who preordered will receive them before they're available in verizon stores. Lol Verizon won't ship the phones to the stores and not to the people. Verizon will take longer due to their bloatware they add...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] brickbeats:
yes in white
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] uaDPJ:
Lol that is just speculation from articles. Verizon has not officially explained whether it's the 17th or 23rd.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hovscorpion12:
On September 19th Verizon opened pre-orders with ship date of Oct 23. Verizon alongside AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile announced in September universal October 17th release date. I just got off the phone with Two of my local Verizon Stores and physically walked into four local Verizon Stores all saying walk in October 17 to buy Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Online purchase will be received on October 23rd.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thegipper:
I called my local best buy where I preordered and was told (again) that ALL carriers, including Verizon, are scheduled to arrive on the 17th. This was confirmed also by the Samsung rep that is there. This is for people who preordered at Best Buy. I cannot speak to when the Verizon online or in store preorders will ship. My guess is each Best Buy gets "X" amount of Note 4's for each carrier. Obviously, many stores sold out of some carriers phones during the preorder. Some stores are still reporting that Verizon preorders are not available right now. Again, my guess is they get only a certain amount and once they hit that number, the preorder is over at that location. Best Buy employees are responding to people on their forum on this same question and several have still said the date is the 17th BUT no promise on the date (obviously).

We will find out soon enough, my gut tells me that we are going to get screwed and it won't be until the 23rd (which is ridiculous) but there is a good amount of credible information out there that preorders through Best Buy will arrive on the 17th. My wife and I both preorderd through Best Buy, we got our fingers crossed that it will be here on Friday!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] billinaz:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bythe:
I think if you pre-ordered from Verizon wireless, most likely you'll get it on the day they said they will ship it or earlier. As for Best Buy, my local BB said the 27th of October.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
lmfao i'm sorry guys, but there's NO way they're going to have the phone in store 1 full week before they ship them out to the people who pre-ordered even at 12am on that first day in September. no. way.

i'll gladly eat my hat if so, but a lot of you guys are just getting your hopes up.

this has been done many times with verizon preorders. you'll get it the 23rd, and hopefully can walk into a store the 23rd and pick one up too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] billinaz:
At least the T-Mo guys are happy, they have their note 4's in their hands already!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] J3ff:
I just ventured over there to read the GLEE in their forum :( wtf verizon. Tmobile shipped them early?! If work didn't pay for my phone I might of just headed to the tmobile store tomorrow to get it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Psychotic Penguin:
23rd seems to be the consensus looking forward to my 3rd Note!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rushless:
All you folks that were told the 17th by BB and Verizon staff, you need to run in there on Friday and go, "Hey! Where the helllllll is my Note 4??!! Whuuuut?! The 23rd??!!! YOUUUU LIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!! :):silly::eek::crying::(:confused::mad::rolleyes: :) ;)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thegipper:
Oh trust me, I'm assuming it will be the 23rd. Just reporting what I was told. Either way, apple does a much better job at unveiling and releasing their phones, this is ridiculous.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkchild128:
I agree. Samsung might have announced the Note 4 before Apple, but Apple still managed to release their phone a whole month ahead of Samsung!

I'm sure Samsung lost a lot of potential sales because of it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hovscorpion12:
While Apple's iPhone 6 Plus has an advantage in sales, You cant get your hands on one for at least another month. Thanksgiving. At least with the Note 4, its walk in whenever , buy and walk out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkchild128:
I pre-ordered one for my wife the first day they allowed pre orders, she's had it for a few weeks now. I'm Jelly. lol
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hovscorpion12:
Your one of the lucky ones. My friend who pre-orders day one has not relieved it, plus will not receive it until 11/7. Yet he pre-ordered on 9/12 :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] darkchild128:
Yeah I thought it was pretty crazy, they told us it wouldn't arrive until 10/17 but we got it on 9/29 i believe. She was half tempted to get the note 4 due to the whole bending issue that has been all over youtube. She is coming off of an iphone 5s though so she didn't want to try to get used to a new samsung.

I'd choose Samsung over iPhone any day just because they are more customizable, but waiting does suck.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hovscorpion12:
This website proves everything I've said is correct. Galaxy Note 4 release date in store is Oct 17. Online shipment on oct 23.

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/1..._campaign=Feed:+Gottabemobile+(GottaBeMobile)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bucsfann20:
Pretty sure that article states 23rd for both preorder and in store, unless I read it wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hovscorpion12:
go to the "US Galaxy Note release" heading and "Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Pre-Orders heading".
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Chuckleb0ne:
Dude, your link doesn't prove your point. I can't believe your still trying to win us over. The date of release for the Verizon Note 4 will be the 23rd. Its been that way since October 3rd when I pre-ordered the device in store and guess what?! Its not gonna change! All those rumors of the device hitting shelves on the 17th for Verizon are exactly what they are. RUMORS.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daboyal006:
Honestly I just hope we get our phones before the 23rd..even if they ship it on the 17th
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] uaDPJ:
Lol you have to be fu**ing idiot to believe that verizon would make the people who preordered, that means they bought it early so they'd get it before everybody else, wait a week after it's available to random people. Best case we all get it 16th/17th or we all get it the 23rd/24th. Verizon hasn't said ****, and you can't take random store workers word for it. There was a guy who just posted about how he went to 8 stores, and called 16 and they all said they ship on the 23rd and the in store date is the 7th. That's probably not right either, but it makes more sense than what you got. But I get that they told you that, and you'll probably stand by it until it doesn't happen.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jayochs:
lol he DOES work for Verizon, so i mean... we know how most verizon reps are. lol
