Galaxy Note 4

For any of those that care about my Note 3, thought I would expand.
I had to pay the $200 since they ultimately blamed it on my screen having a hairline crack. After they repaired it today, I noticed they mentioned it was a couple things.
Problem found:
LCD DAMAGED - ABUSE - IF/CHARGING PORT - DAMAGE FWT
Solution:
REPLACED LCD - REPLACED COMPONENT
The real reason my phone wouldn't turn on was because of the charging port. Possibly because of my third party Anker battery? Either way, they blamed the fix on the LCD when that wasn't the issue at hand and why it wasn't turning on.

Yeah my clock shows black bottom then that fainted background shows up a few seconds later.
It's definitely not screen burn in!
I get the same pattern, but only on stopwatch. Strange.
Omled screen burn should stand out like dogs balls on a white screen. It will be persistent, not absent on one screen and missing on the next.
My S2 had light screen burn on the lower dock bar area. Only showed up on light screens.
If you really wanna know if a s5 has burn, dial *#0*# and choose LED or black.
If you see it, then you have screen burn.

I deleted all my alarms. I get the pattern. It's not screen burn.
Add an alarm and the pattern goes away.

Looks good. I really hope the back is a bit more like the Alpha.
For some reason those previously leaked photos look too rough in the back.
If the slim bezels are true, I will buy this thing on release day.

Thinking at this point my LG G3 will suffice in the larger phone arena. I will take a look but probably that is all and I still have the S5 besides. Maybe the Alpha more so than this.
That's freaking nuts. Who in their right mind is going to prefer an iphone?!
Anyone know if these are usually available on release date or in the future?
Was so set for iPhone 6 and have been for long. But if that bezel and that design is true, I must say I will go Note again. It is simply a more clever and more beautiful design than iPhone. I choose simplicity everytime and I want the stylus if the phone is better (read: smaller bezels, more minimalistic design, better display).
It is still running Android KitKat and Touchwiz, right?
There is your answer on "who in their right mind is going to prefer an iphone".
Not an issue for me, but certainly some prefer iOS. I used to greatly prefer iOS as well and still think it's a great OS. I just haven't seen anything compelling to it in a long time for my needs. Since the ip6 seems like it will not bring anything new in terms of hardware compared to other phones I can't see the 2005ish OS attracting me.
The entire touchwiz thing is so exaggerated IMO. Anyway you can replace it in about 5 seconds with a new launcher, I'll put Nova launcher against iOS any day of the week and then some in it's incredible usefulness and ability to customize.
No one was discussing power, "better than", or any of the other flaming initiatives that normally happen with the confines of this forum.
I am simply stating a ton of people prefer iOS over Android and always will meaning there is a good reason why many more people will choose the new iPhone over the Note 4.
A ton of people also prefer android to iOS. Probably more if you look at market share.

Can't wait either.
A preference is fine but not valid if the vast majority of folks on line at Apple stores day one never experienced Android or Windows OS. More like programmed drones marching as soon as Iphones hit.
Not true at all. The one and only reason Android has a marketshare lead is because people in most countries can't afford an iPhone, but they can afford a lousy $50 Android phone or a FREE one for joining some random carrier. Same thing here. You can get Android phones on the cheap at Walmart and most grocery stores, its quick, easy and cheap. Not to mention there are over 4 thousand Android phones to ONE iPhone. Marketshare means nothing. I have had all three Notes and will look at the 4, but with the larger screen iPhones weeks away now, I doubt I will end up with a Note.
You can getaniphone for free and at walmart for joining some random carrier too though
I'm sure people really do have preferences for both os'
'One and only reason' is crazy when you are talking about what 80% market share?
Marketshare does not mean much, but it means something. I mean apple used to brag about it themselves you know..
I was not aware of that. Can you please post a link showing you can get a free iPhone at Walmart? Or anywhere for that matter. Yea, marketshare is overrated in this regard. 4 thousand Android phones to one iPhone. Thats like saying General Motors, Ford, Nissan Subaru, Volkswagen, Hyundai and Kia sold more cars than Toyota sold of the Camry. Meaningless.
Either you don't understand the thread title, can't read or just want to troll....
In which way are your postings related to the thread title?!
In my country you can get an iPhone for free on contract.
Of contract a new iPhone costs the same as a new Samsung galaxy S5 or a new HTC one.
