Note 3 issues fixed with Note 4?
- From my (limited) research, it would seem the main complaint reviewers had with the Galaxy Note 3 was in fact, TouchWiz.
Has Samsung fixed it since then? Or will this be a recurring issue even with the Note 4?09-20-2014 03:47 AMLike 0 - Well they have changed touch wiz on the S5 to a more refined version. So that is the version that will be on the note 4 (maybe even more refined). However I've never personally had an issue with touch wiz so I'm not a good judge. Perhaps you can watch some reviews of the S5 to see what the new version of touch wiz is like.

Direct quote from Gizmodo: "For starters, Samsung's proprietary UI (aka TouchWiz) has, as promised, been scaled back a good deal. What was a cluttered mess last year is no longer as cluttered or messy. It actually looks way better. Samsung cast off a lot of the vestigial feature-phone looks, and as a result, it looks more like a modern Android phone."09-20-2014 05:29 AMLike 0 - Nova fixes TouchWiz ๐

What is Note-specific in TouchWiz that we might lose the benefit of by not running TouchWiz?

I think touchwiz has just caught a bad rap. It has become popular to bash it for no real reason at all. Having said that, there is room for refinement. Naming conventions are not Samsung's strong suite either as it's proved with names like "Tizen".09-20-2014 09:01 AMLike 0 - Am I missing something here? TouchWiz, I believe, is A LAUNCHER....it's not a ROM. Have not all mainstream launchers worked on Note 3 all along....APEX, NovaLauncher, Action Launcher, GO Launcher etc...?
It's a Launcher that fixes shortcomings in TouchWiz, not a ROM right? A ROM, whether Cyanogen Mod or otherwise, fixes/modifies/improves NON-Launcher issues around the basic kernel and "BIOS" of the device.
I just don;t see how ROMs are germane to a discussion of Launchers like TouchWiz....or are they??09-20-2014 09:28 AMLike 0 - I don't think the Note 4 is getting the S5 Touchwiz according to other threads, and it didn't look like it from what I saw. Maybe it doesn't fit in to the Note 'philosophy'.
I have used a Moto G a lot recently, and there are so many basic things that TW does and are taken for granted, you only miss them when you move out of Samsung for the first time.

Don't understand your post unless a joke, but yes there are other phones out there without Touchwiz.

- For me I'm hoping for better low light out of the box camera performance and better camera performance in general. That followed by better screen response. I don't know how many times I've touched an icon on the screen only to have the screen think I was swiping left or right.09-20-2014 12:17 PMLike 0

TouchWiz is what gives you S-Pen functionality and all Note-specific functionality. It also is responsible for basically functions of the phone, like having a working camera. It is involved in every aspect of your phone and the launcher is just a small part of it.There are countless ways it affects every aspect of your phone and your experience of it.
So, no, TouchWiz is not just a launcher, can not be replaced by a launcher, does require a new ROM to be flashed in order not to use it, and is inappropriate by its very nature to refer to it as an issue to be fixed.09-20-2014 02:11 PMLike 3 - No and I never thought they would but touchwiz will need to change to accommodate certain thingsanon8380037 likes this.09-20-2014 03:39 PMLike 1

I hope L comes out before I may buy a Note 4 in December or January, but it probably won't on Samsungs.

I believe it is too cluttered (settings for example) and by it's sheer size causes the phone to not be as responsive as it could be (won't use the L word). I would like to see this fixed in future devices.
That being said I still enjoy my S5 Active.

My point in the statement you quoted is that TouchWiz is very literally not an issue to be fixed. It's not a matter of opinion or if you like or dislike certain things. There are definitely things I would like changed but that is irrelevant to this. If someone understands what TouchWiz is then they understand that the original question does not even make sense because TouchWiz literally is not an issue to be fixed.
I know you won't be convinced but it is what it is.
