Galaxy Note 4

One question for those who have it.. Does the finger print scanner work in terms with free still getting notifications? For example nils.. As I use that as my lockscreen notification

I am sure this has been answered time and time again. With the best buy offer, do you just bring them your old phone and they knock $200 off the price of the phone? For example, could I buy it outright from best buy for ~$600? I have t-mobile and it doesn't show the unlocked phone on best buys website.

Here is what I have been told from BestBuy. Take it for what it is worth. You bring in any working smartphone on the day you pick up your preorder. You will get a 200$ gift card. You can then use that gift card towards the purchase price of the phone. HOWEVER, you must buy on a contract or with Next or Edge or whatever. They told me you would not get the 200$ if buying the phone off contract at full price. Now, wether or not that will be true will likely remain to be seen, and may even vary from store to store depending on the manager.

Good comparison shots thanks. Let's me see that yes, that Samsung color boost is still there. Unfortunate. If I wanted my photos to look processed, I would do it myself. Hum....

Could you point out one of the pairs as an example?

I do like the way the Samsung warms the colors. The colors just pop more.

To me it looks like the iPhone pics are the 4:3 ones and the 16:9 is the note 4.

Nonetheless, they look pretty good. Curious to see how they each do in even lower lighting.

Yes, the pics on the bottom have the warmer tone right? To me those are the pics where the color looks boosted, whereas the top photos look more natural. Just look at the flowers.

Are you asking if the finger print scanner works with NiLS on the lock screen? If so, the answer is yes.

I agree...both sets are great pics! Samsung (right or wrong) does tend to warm their pictures a little. My GS5 does the same thing.....
 
I downloaded the zip file and inside it has a separete folder for iphone pic and samsung pics. Comparing them to the website the 6+ pics are on the bottom, not the top.
 
so you can have a secured stock lock screen and NILS now? I remember it used to be that I can't have any widgets on lockscreen if I set up a PIN code...I always use Widgetlocker instead because of that. thanks

I read the T-Mobile preorders arrived yesterday, did anyone here get theirs?

edit: Just read the T-Mobile variety already got root...I doubt we'll have such luck on AT&T...

I am pretty sure that is the case, it cannot be for off contract.

BUT the day I preordered I was never told that, since the $200 is always questioned I doubt most people were told the policy either.

I know a tablet is different but BB allowed $100 for any working one for the S tablet, no stipulations.
 
Mine shipped this morning through AT&T! It's saying expected delivery date is Thursday.

Yeah, ATT version will not have root. At least not by Chainfire. Probably will be some time, if ever...this is my other major dilemma with the Note 4. I cannot get the t mobile one right away as I really did not want to deal with the hassle of getting it on a plan etc...

I don't know guys. I am starting to think more and more that I may hang onto the iPhone 6 + for now and see where ios 8 goes with its updates and bug fixes. I still have my Note 3 rooted/custom recovery/ running Tweaked ROM. Maybe eventually sell that and buy a T mobile Note 4 off contract once I can. Or Nexus

Thoughts??

I understand where you are. Between BB having jacked the cost of the Note 4 on Verizon by $57 this week then the talk that they're not going to honor the $200 without a plan (I have 5 grandfathered unlimited data lines) It's starting to look more and more like "not a good time" for me also. I'm on a Note 3, by mid-november you'll be able to buy pretty much any phone you want including iPhone 6's, an when the Note Edge drops the Note 4 will drop in price anyway. .

Haha. I would have said the opposite. Eye of the beholder man. Really both look pretty darn good.

I am gonna go to Best Buy today and take some shots with the 6 plus and the Note 4. See if I can somehow get the shots from the Note4 to somewhere I can save them.

Yeah, I am fully expecting Note 4 pricing to drop for holidays especially.
