Hi guys,

Gonna ask for your opinion.  Should I buy a Note 4 now instead of waiting for Note 5?  Well, it has been 6/7 months since Note 4 launched and another 5/6 months to get the Note 5.  These are my issues:-

1. Note 4 is RM2699.  Note 5 may be RM3099 or 3199.
2. Note 5 will come with latest lollipop
3. Note 5 will have wireless charging
4. Note 5 will have newer less bloated Touchwiz
5. If I dont use note 4 Touchwiz and use for eg. Nova Launcher or Google Launcher will it affect S-Pen usage?

Non removable battery and no SD Card is not a deal breaker for me as my last 3 phones are without SD Card / removable battery.  But that is because I don't store much in my phones for eg. movies tc.  However, with Note 4/Note 5 at 5.7 inch and super AMOLED, should I be storing and using it as a video player?

By the way, I am using a Oneplus One since January 2015 only (only 3 - 4 months).  Still new. Or maybe do a trade in?

Wait for Note5..
Note 4 is just a struggling product as to compete with iphone6+ when both launched in 4th Q last year. Note 4 was launched in rush so even the Lollipop is not ready for the hardware until the entire Note4 supportors have been waiting for more than 5 months until upgrade. Nothing special for the normal Note 4 if compare with Note3. The X-hole Samsung launch Note Edge too late in Malaysia otherwise i difinately will grab it with no doubt. I played it at Samsung shop last week and love it so much with the Edge design and functionality.

Guys

Anyone of you has successfully remove the bloatwares installed on Note 4? Does the removal smooth en your phone and increase battery life? I saw that there are many guides and apps which appears during google search. Can anyone of you guide me to the most relevant and effective guide on how to remove bloatwares on Note 4? I don't mind to root as the bloatwares really slow down my phone as I saw that some of the program such as quick connect, s health, ant++ and etc is always running in background.

I don't agree with your opinion.. Most issues on Note 4 are on the software, which can be fix by installing updates, if Samsung work on it.. You said Note 4 is a struggling product to compete with iPhone 6+,while to me iPhone 6 is no better than Note 4. Note 4 is definitely much better than Note 3,so it feels like a finished product, not experimental

My S planner has been sitting on my home screen for weeks without anything going missing. Could it be greenify or some auto close app/memory regain app you have running in the background?

The forum is open for discussion is up to you to agree or disagree with other other's comments. We are Note4 owners sure we all know that Note4 is better than iphone6+. But when come to business wise, popularity and BRAND as what China people say STATUS and IMAGE, Apple win hand down regardless of how good the Samsung / Note4 phone is. Another good example is iwatch which is launched recently. One day sale figure equals to few months sales figures of Samsung watch which has more advance feature.

Back to the sofeware issue of Note4. It is boring and nothing for me being a ex-Note3 user although it will keep updated from time to time. But being a high end consumer, Note Edge only would open my eyes.

In additional, Samsung will have another issue with its software update as so many different update packages have to be done and ready for different countries and telco..As what i say, it could need huge IT resources and supports to do so. I am not really sure how Samsung handle it but feeling that so many updates packages for one model for different countries sounds not making sense and good approaches.

I just disable all the bloatwares that i dont need. Nothing else. I dont trust those Greenify and whatever so anymore unless the phone is rooted. Also, disable or uncheck all the auto notification or auto sycn of apps except email apps only.

Because, u said Note 4 is a struggling product to compete with iPhone 6.. So you agree Note 4 is better... So?.. Your solution is apparently clear, go and get iPhone, case close and no need for you to whine about Note 4. laugh.gif I don't care about brand so much, I won't buy a LV belt that costs several thousands, when it serves the same function as a Levis leather belt that costs several hundred bucks.

Come on, go to read again my posts for when I had said that Note 4 is inferior to Iphone+. Dont throll and relax la young man.

I dont care brand as well but the Note4 is really no surprise to me at all except the metal frame. Dont tell me 16MP camera and QFHD are innovative. Note Edge is innovative and unique product indeed with curve screen and side notification bar.
