Well, I personally feel Samsung has gone overboard with the TW *FRAMEWORK* (I'm not complaining about the UI since I don't really care about that).

So much sh*t is tied down to this framework that they've become almost like that other platform.

The promise of Android is/was that it would run on all devices, but the worst offenders of the TW Framework are the S-apps, like S-Note, S-Memo, S-Health etc.

You can't port any of these to any other devices, and although I dearly love the active digitizer on the Note series, _middle-finger_ to Samsung for locking it down.

Again, TO ALL USERS OF NOTE:

DO NOT USE S-NOTE OR S-MEMO if you value your data's portability.

I recommend Handy Note Pro, Dio Note, Papyrus as the most portable apps in the Android ecosystem.

Remember, your data is your own, not Samsung's to lock away.

The N4 DOES have poorer reception than the N3. We are all suspecting it is either the new metal frame design or a new team of engineers ...... whistling.gif

Or the Exynos Octa issue.. rclxub.gif

I believe is metal frame issue. It is kind of like my M8 signal strength. But even one bar (sometimes happen) my data still running and no issue.

Calling wise still stable no drop signal.

Headache..just now talking to my friend which using Note 4..signal keep drop.. rclxub.gif

Those having low signals issues with the Note 4 could try to call your telco operator. I do not have such serious issues as reported by some on my ex Note4
However on my Note Edge I did faced very serious signal issues. The phone 3 G download was easily 5-10X slower than my other Mate7 ) on same Celcom postpaid) and LTE virtually undetectable.
I regretted buying this Korean set than with its LTE-A bands.

After struggling with it for 2-3 hours,  I called Celcom. The tech guy promised me he will resolve the issue within 24 hours. Well, he stuck on his promise and in fact in half a day later my Note Edge connnectivity/signal issues was gone and is now equally good as my ex Note4, and current Mate7. This morning in BP town I recorded 42K Mbps LTE download speeds !!

He explained for my case was due to my phone has LTE-A and probably some connectivity issues with local LTE spectrum. He assured me then the phone can definitely be used here in Malaysia

Uncle Benny did the right thing. Signal issue a lot of times is Telco issue. Make them a call and they can fixed for you within a day.

I done this before under Maxis and DiGi no issue.

U Mobile wise frank speak their customer service suck and lousy fixing issue. I call few times and near vomit chat with them for my data only package.

Yeah..my case with Umobile was the USB broadband..take few months to solve my bill issue.. rclxub.gif

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

Click "Documents" then you will know how to upload.. nod.gif
