Haizz... maybe just let it be. Use normal screen protector. Who knows Velvet Red will coming then I change to that color. Maybe. Haha! For now just use with normal screen protector. No choice.

My cheapo non branded tempered glass got a tiny chip off at the edge of the glass. No idea how it got there but still functions well. Halo effect is very noticeable though.

Hi guys.

Wondering the service center is open tomorrow. My n4 metal frame cracked at the top side. Near the ir blaster. Just noticed it this morning. Anyone with similar issue?

Metal crack ? Wow, was it in the jeans or dropped?

Samsung LED Flip Wallet short review.

user posted image

  • The LED is a real LED at cover, Samsung didn't use HTC idea reflect from screen light. Check my screenshot above where it show the light source not from the amoled screen.
  • The LED is real cool showing calling notification, miss call notification, message notification & misc notification. All animated.
  • Pressing the power button also showing the time with animation.
  • When charging showing battery with % indicator.
  • Alarm clock notification when alarm.
  • Animation when listen song.
  • All notification is preset and cannot modified or control as no apps bundle with it.
  • Only can show notification but you can't swipe to answer call or dismiss notification like what HTC did.

Nice review, really looks cool. But since I seem to be hooked on several games on the phone, a flip case may not be so comfortable to hold horizontally for long stretches.
QUOTE(blazejason @ Dec 29 2014, 09:21 AM)
Updated to the latest firmware yesterday. This morning have some Wifi Issue. Even it shows connected to wifi but my apps cant run it online... Wechat/Whatsapp hardly connected. 3g/LTE seems disconnected also. Need restart my phone only can it can function properly.

About phone reception on my Note 4 near Kepong Area(Desa Park & Villa Manja), and Setia Eco Park, I change my telco from U Mobile to Maxis One Plan, and problem solved. In my house, usually have no bar, now have 1 or 2 bars, random, which I can still pick up some calls.

After using the Note 4 for more than 2 months already, so far so good. Camera is definitely a PLUS+. Call quality is OK for me, sound quality, definitely better than Note 3 and comparing to Note 2, I prefer Note 4 still. Used SPen and SNote a lot for my work  rclxm9.gif SUPER USEFUL. Battery life, seems ok to me after comparing with my old Note 2 which already aged 2+. Charing speed is a bit too fast... Seems too hard to believe that is it really fully charged???? Battery life is up and down for me, due to leaving my phone unplug and use it out door a lot together with power bank. Last about 7-9 hours usage(10+ phone calls, Web Browsing, Camera, Supercell games & Messenging) Sometimes feels like the battery is bad, maybe bcoz of the updates?

I hate the aluminium frame. I got it since release, that time got no Spigen case, only cheapo case and Sammy 1, so decided to wait. Then, got micro scratches at aluminium frame, DANG. Now I'm using Spigen Neo Hybrid Case, 2 thumbs UP!  thumbup.gif

I give Note 4 8.6/10.  hmm.gif

Nice review, I live quite near Desa Park city. Use celcom and get 2/3 bar of H+, not that it matters much as I use my home WiFi. I definitely agree with you on the camera department, it seems to take better photos than my canon s95 pocket camera I bought for rm1800 less than 3 years ago. So fast smartphone photography managed to catch up. Recently I have been experimenting by mounting the phone on a tripod and use Bluetooth shutter button to take group photos. Everyone keeps telling how great and clear the photos turn up.

The spigen neo hybrid metal slate is a nice match with black note 4's.

btw to those who using spigen case, did you all facing measuring heart rate issue ?
I tried 10 times roughly the s health detect my heart rate about 2 or 3 times
is there any tips to measure it ?

this happens to me once I use the case cry.gif
*
That's the only thing I hate about the case. My heart rate sensor is more or less unusable because of the case. Snapping a photo with the heart rate sensor with this case is a definate no no

Just installed the R-Just Gundam Case. (credit to Marcus_1104 by the way, one of the best seller I would recommend  thumbup.gif )
I must say it gives a bit bulk look on the phone, but the design is nice.
It doesn't block any of entry to the side of the phone, yet it provides whole protection throughout.

There's only a thing I noticed, that the phone could be moved just a bit inside the case.
Might be because of the small gap given to fit the phone in.

Overall the best casing I have so far.

There's almost no gap above the phone.
I'm not sure whether I can put in a tempered glass.
I'll go and ask at Sun Mobile later.

Hey I can even fit my Xperia Z on top of the phone. tongue.gif

Haha, I'm former XZ user too. Note 4 is a great upgrade.

Dear all, anybody upgraded to note 4 from note 3? worth it?

im thinking whether to upgrade or not...

your kind advice is very much appreciated

Camera on note 4 is a beast. Image stabilisation and real time HDR is great.

QUOTE(jeff10012003 @ Jan 1 2015, 05:18 PM)
Does this apply to all spigen case or only some of it?
*
Never check the other models but neo hybrid flaw comes from t plastic divider between the back camera lens and the flash/heart rate sensor. That little divider makes it difficult for the finger tip to effectively touch the sensor. It might give extra protection for camera but almost renders the sensor useless.

Can take selfie with no issue by tapping the heart rate sensors, just hard to check my heart rate even using the case cry.gif

For my neo hybrid, its such a pain, keep moving finger in the slot but cannot make enough contact to snap picture. If make contact also, might cause a lot of movement to the phone. Maybe my finger big kut

Surprised to see my Note 4 although bought it about 5 weeks after launch was still a unit that was made in Korea.

Btw, can anyone tell me how to upload my photos directly from Note 4? When I tried to upload image above via phone browser (CM browser) it only gave me the options of "Camera, Camcorder, Voice Recorder and Documents". How to set it to allow to browse Gallery? Tq

Accidentally dropped my note 4 with the verus iron shield on from the knee level. I guess my phone is fine but the case took some damage. The metal bumper is..bengkok already.  blink.gif

So sayang, but what to do, non plastic or rubber materials are easy to be dented. Must have been a nasty drop. Could you share some pictures.

QUOTE(aizielectreon @ Jan 3 2015, 07:49 PM)
On the other hand..bought a neohybrid from a forumer here. Color period red.very nice. About the signal reduce idk..i cant possibly know.
My white note cant install the glass sp due to holo effect but the gold one can.
*
As far as I have researched and personal use of Neo Hybrid, no additional signal loss cos the material is plastic/rubber.

actualy note 4 totaly not in my list but i dont know my guts told me to pick this. Seriously no regret..

Sifu..
Seeking advice here. Im prefer naked body like this but its exposed the camera screen to scratch. How can i protect this?

You made a very good choice. In time you will love many of its features, especially the camera thumbup.gif So far for the camera lens on the back, I left the plastic that came with the phone. Looks a bit ugly but the circle cut out in the middle doesnt affect the photos taken.

If I can individually purchase a screen protector to fit that square camera area then I would. Until then, use only. Besides, if it scratch, im sure replacement at samsung must be much cheaper than changing front screen.

It is advisable not to buy it. It make it much more worse than before.

just a fine scratch lol... and my spigen case itself also got scratch lol...

Which spigen case is causing this scratches? Slim armor or neo hybrid? How could it be scratching the metal when the rubber insole is the part that is touching the phone edges n back? UNLESS, due to the tight fit of the plastic outer layer when removing the case causes the minor scratches. My Neo hybrid when first bought, was very tight. Now a bit more easier to remove case.
