[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] SMARTPHONEPC:
I liked the Note2 so much when I first got it that I seriously considered buying a second one then decided to see what the Note3 offered but didn't think it was enough of an upgrade & its speaker was noticeably worse but the Note 4 feels like a decent upgrade just not as much as I hoped.

I'd have paid more for a 64GB & even a 128 GB internal memory model (both my Note 2 & Note 4 have 128 GB sdcards that are still unencrypted but I'm paranoid that if it gets stolen all its data can be accessed so I want the encryption & convenience of trusted faces+places of Android L). I do have concerns about Android L on the Note 4 however mentioned at http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/lollipop-note-4-video-t2961215#post57242388

My Note 2 has LTE & so far don't notice network speed improvements but haven't tested everywhere yet. I was reasonably satisfied with the Note 2 8MP 1080p camera that even had cool effects such as slow mo & cartoonify like in the Note 4 but also Blue Point (shoots black & white except picks up only Blue, or only green for Green point) that didn't seem to make it to the Note4 but the Note 4's dual camera modes & additional effects like Oil pastel & Moody are a fun options (up to 1080p) & hopefully 2K-4K video (that don't work with those effects only 1080p max work) with OIS will justify the storage use for certain use cases.

I like the the ability to minimize multitasking windows but would like to be able to minimize them completely into the pull down notification area like other floating apps such as G Player without seeing multiple spots on the screen. Android L seems to have major changes planned for the pull down notification area that I've grown to really like so not sure how I'll feel about that.

I also experienced a crash today requiring a battery pull (though I was impatient-not sure if it would have resolved had I waited but it did not even respond to a power down so I yanked the battery). Not too worried yet as I was pushing it hard & I love the ability to pull & swap out the battery but hopefully that will be rare.

I was even ok with the size of the Nexus 6 but when side by side the Note 4 won. The Note 2's 5.55" screen already seems a tad small after I've been using the Note 4 for awhile but do hope the Note 4 will feel like more of an upgrade when I have everything set up the way I like it. Note4 does seem to handle more simultaneous tasks with less performance hiccups than my Note 2. When home I have taken off its case but usually use kickstand case+ additional removable kickstand like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EVFO1G that also makes it easier to grip-handle with or without separate removable handle http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073G6OM2 (I do have long fingers if they are not in use but they do make handling more secure).

In addition to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAWQKIW I have on it, I'm considering http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAWRB44/

I was happy it came back in stock at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/t-mobil...lack/1015007.p?id=1219459037265&skuid=1015007 on Thanksgiving but hoping Android L delivers despite my concerns expressed at http://xdaforums.com/note-4-tmobile/general/lollipop-note-4-video-t2961215#post57242388 Do people think Android L will arrive in the next 30 days officially for the T-Mobile Note4 & how do you think it will affect the experience?

Once I have the Note 4 configured as well as the Note 2 I will likely stop paying the $8/mo insurance fee on top of the $30/mo plan since I'll have a backup in the unlikely event something happens (Jan will likely be the last month for that). Can the micro-SIM be cloned or would the only option be to have T-Mobile port my number to a replacement micro-SIM should something happen to the other?

Glad I saw this thread as I was told in stores it would cost 10% more + tax.:highfive:
