If it makes you feel any better- the finger print scanner on my real Note 4 only works on about 75% of swipes.

I still have not actually put my trade-in phone in the mail yet, and I got the approval email last night!

With my old note 2 in desktop mode I would be able to pinch zoom into a forum discussion and then double tap and it would reformat the text in the forum thread to fit the page. This was using the default internet browser. Now with the Note 4 when I zoom into a forum post and then double tap it...

it appears the 4:3 sensor in this camera is not being fully utilized in *any* of the shooting resolutions resulting in all 4:3 aspect resolutions being much narrower than possible- and also much narrower than any previous phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 crippled FOV when shooting 4:3 ?: Mobile...

Yeah, but on my Note 2 for example, in low light I could tap and get the focus to "lock" (it would take a while hunting around before getting it), and then when I hit the shutter button it was instantaneous (no lag). But on the Note 4, even if I pre focus in that same way- it seems when I hit...

It's super bad in low light- 1+ second lag. I also tried one at best buy today to make sure it wasn't just mine. Is there some setting that could be causing this?

I just got the Note 4 and almost everything about it seems better/faster than my old Note 2. However the shutter lag when shooting a still picture on the Note 4 is *unbelievably* bad! I have HDR off, and in auto or in any specific ISO mode I tap to focus, then when I hit the shutter button there...

My sprint pre-order just shipped! Tracking via the UPS site is 'in transit', with the delivery date of: Scheduled For Early Delivery On: Thursday, 10/16/2014, By End of Day Originally Scheduled For Delivery On: Friday, 10/17/2014, By End of Day Come on early delivery!!!

I pre-ordered from the Sprint website on the 28th, and mine has said backordered since the order was placed. I'm sure that's just the way their website/system displays it and we'll probably all get it by the release date.

Re: samsung $200 trade in promotion Current Note 2 user- Just pre-ordered an un-subsidized Note 4 from the sprint website for $720 and used my old Galaxy S2 for a $26 trade-in value. Will be submitting to Samsung for the $174 difference- $520 for my new Note 4 with not contract (I am 6+ months...

Re: Why is it that when Samsung 1st came out with the note line everyone was that is too big no one Screen size and camera quality/usability have always been my top two priorities. I have been a Note user since the first iteration. I will test the Note 4, but my experience with the first three...

I just shot a bunch of video with the stock camera app. I like to shoot lots of short clips edited in camera via the pause function while shooting. I didn't realize until after shooting all my footage that if I pause while recording, then rotate the camera 180 degrees, then resume recording, the...

I am not using an app, I am just using the "feature" of the Note2 where it automagically sees Samsung network printers on the current network.

Weird, when I put the pdf files ing a folder in there, and browse into that folder in the gallery, the gallery doesn't even display icons for them to select.

By gallery do you mean someplace within the DCIM folder?
