The camera is still not as smart as our naked eyes which is able to adapt itself to different light source of the full view, so if the camera trying show some details in the shadow, other parts might turn out washed out. While other camera might show a closer color on the spot you are comparing, the shadow/brighter part might show lack of details.

I guess you can try using spot metering, that's more fair if you only look at the color of certain spot but ignoring the details that showing in other part of the photo.

P/s: with the comment above, I'm not saying note 4 camera doesn't has wash out problem, neither I say it does. Just would like to discuss it in open minded way, so please don't flame me : )

Love the sot today. Wi-Fi and LTE always on, main activities while screen on are surfing and ebook/flipboard reading, with regular messaging/email and some calls, minimum youtube watching.

Pretty satisfy with the sot, as those are the main daily things im using my phone for and expect the battery can last.

P/s: just realize not able to attach image using cm browser as it always return some random file name with no extension.

This SOT is unforgivable. What did you do to your note 4?
*
Can't really tell how long I spent on cm browser, I use it mainly on surfing, accessing some web apps for the work, roughly like 50% of my sot spending down there. Then maybe another 2hrs+ on flipboard, feedly, and news. And I used it for note taking in the afternoon meeting which lasted like 2+ hrs. No gaming for me I guess that's the main reason? Little bit of camera, music playing and video watching, heavy instant messaging, call time not so much for today, maybe all outgoing and incoming calls less than half an hr.

Although the signal is not that good, but the 3 places I have been today (house, office and clieng office) have stable LTE connection. Sometime it drain faster if keep switching between LTE and H+ or H.

Your screen is 60% means superb bright. You charge the phone in middle usage? I can get such also if charge phone from time to time or you use the biggest battery capacity which already start selling at Samsung store?

Hard to believe can archive 9 hours + in 60% usage at screen!
*
Oh I was wondering what's that 60% mean, so you answered my question. Yeah I can't bear to look at dim screen though, I was iPhone user and used to set 100% brightness but this phone is awesome, slightly over 50% and it is bright enough for me yet doesn't stress my eyes much, as you can see I spent quite a long time looking at the screen per day either this or my laptop.

Didn't make the same mistake to charge the phone this time, that's why I attached the battery life graph as well, and it's stock battery.

But I guess, this can't really tell a thing as our daily activities with phone are different, can't really compare sot with sot as some might consume more battery life.

Mine is SD version, not sure if that make any different to battery life.

Hello guys n girls. New owner reporting in.

Ive check the search topic n dont manage to find this issue. So just to update you guys if you facing problem with the charger/adapter like me.

Ive bought mine 1 week ago. The battery life is amazing. Once, i even manage to get a full day without the need to charge. But yesterday when i charge my note 4, i heard sound like the charging is on & off. And taking longer than usual. And this morning, i cant charge at all.

So i went to the service centre and report it. And they provide me with the new adapter/charger without asking a lot of question.  When i ask, do note 4 have charger/adapter problem due to the fast charging and they answer is that Samsung already inform that the few 1st batch are having this issues.

Sorry if this issue already posted before in the previous ver.

My charger die on 3rd day after purchase, sent to service center and now already past 2 weeks still saying no stock. Which service center you have sent to?

I think any warranty claim, you need to go back to the origin country or you pay here for like no warranty. At least that's what the SG sc told me.

Mine is SD version from SG.

no wonder my lte never 4 bar. owes 3 bar max

Mine 2 bar max, only will get full bar on certain area and has to be close to unblock/open area. Last weekend went to Puchong Bandar putri, connection is kinda poor, keep switching h/h+/4g and got distortion during call over there.

Its quite a major issue but can't deny that its still a nice phone. Just hope there is something they can do to improve this problem

Dear all,

I been using Note1, 2 and 4 which bought recently. However, the battery life of note 4 drain so fast. Phone charge 100% at 2am, and 830am wake up the battery left 66% in idle condition. The perfect part is the fast charge, but however i need to carry charger everywhere i go.

Just wanna check with all the guru2 here, is there any solution for this? I really disappointed about this note 4.

You probably have some apps running at background that drain your battery? I don't have this problem too, maybe you can try greenify.

off during searching. after 5 mins can on it back. try if it works for you.  sweat.gif

Doesn't seems to have different 😁. Still 2 bars to me at home.

Anyway despite the signal strength is so so, ping is not too bad, and download speed is actually fast, so it usually doesn't bother me much, except at certain place where it keep switching 4g and h/h+ even at open space, the call quality might be distorted.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. I might try again later.

Edit: while taking screenshot, the bar just nice droped to 1 bar 😰
