For those who use apps which require precision e.g autocad 360, s pen would be really really useful.

Just notice that this note 4 has disable the sip call setting. This is really a big let down for user like me who use native voip call to call overseas. ( for free ). There's a workaround to 'patch' this issue but it make the voip call experience less user friendly.

came across an interesting note 4 commercial ads ... note 4 everyone ...

just discover this case for note 4 for less than rm30



anyway i'm still happy with my cheapo rm5 tpu case ...it really does provide solid overall protection and feel good on touch too

brought it online from china website. free shipping too but have to wait approx 21- 30 days for it to arrive. i have a battery kit coming along also. oem 3200mAh battery with NFC function x 2 pcs + portable oem charger for less than rm120. ( basically you can't differentiate with the ori kit ) here's the pic of my order set for reference...

some local seller here claim selling the ORI set with only 1 pc battery but without built in NFC



cheap case not necessary bad too ! as long it serve the purpose of protecting the phone well .... i like this one particularly because the opening for rear camera is slightly protruded out to protect the camera lens.

NFC = Near Field Communication

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a wireless connectivity technology that enables convenient short-range communication between electronic devices. NFC offers the ultimate in convenience for connecting all types of consumer devices and enables rapid and easy communications.

here's some reading about NFC for your reference:

NFC in Smartphone

Basically im pairing my sony sbh52 with note 4 almost on daily basis when in the car. Nfc does it with ease comparing pairing it with bluetooth manually....it basically just touch and use !

actually it's the nfc's antenna was built into the battery, not the nfc controller chip....without the antenna, nfc is crippled..

here's the note 4 front board....checkout the nfc controller chip there...



correct me if i'm wrong...

worth it or not depends on how you view it.....the one i found cost around usd 7 ( 7 x 3.3 ) = rm23 with free registered shipping to malaysia.

the one you found from lelong cost rm49 + free tempered glass cost rm4, so the different is rm22 after deduct the tempered glass cost. But trade off is that you have to wait around 2-4 week for the item to arrive.

i have both the 64gb samsung pro and the 32gb sandisk ultra. both are class 10 microsd card.

yes, there's a diff in terms of the write speed ( samsung pro - almost double the speed ) but the read speed is more or less the same if i can recall the test I'd done a year plus ago....

tempered 'halo' screen protector issue with note 4...

i believe this is the common issue for all note 4 user right?

here's my sharing info based on 2 diff brand of tempered glass..

1st tempered glass brought from lelong seller ( cost rm12 )


result:



2nd tempered glass brought from china website ( cost rm10 )



result:



both also suffering from this halo fatigue...

hope you guys can share yours too so we can avoid those tempered glass.

i heard that iloome brand don't suffer from this 'halo'effect, but it cost around rm120? anyone using this and share your thought here is greatly appreciated.

thanks dear for your feedback. in fact just before your post i did order the exact same cutting of the tempered glass ( oem rock ) from china website to try it out. there's 2 thick available, 0.2mm and 0.3mm and i order both just to try it out. it cost much cheaper ( rm13 for both tempered glass shipped ) as i'm not willing to spend rm40 as you did for the original rock tempered glass yet...

most likely a broken/faulty wacom digitizer...could be caused by a strong magneted case / cheap qi charger ...

here's the follow up of your posted video...


to confirm the faulty digitizer, key in *#0*# in your keypad and do the wacom test.
