Yes widgets exacerbate the grid issue.

That said I have the same problem with Google's default launcher. If Nova adds, assuming they can, the Google Now as a slide to the left feature, I will go back to it. At least we can switch launchers.

Oh yea, on my Note 2 I did run a custom TouchWiz based ROM that did allow you to change the grid on the launcher. It only did this when installing the ROM but you could do it. Think I ran that ROM at 5x6 with a 6 icon dock. So maybe there is a way ti change that grid in TouchWiz--if rooted of course.

Sometimes certain widgets don't work when you change the grid.
 
Got my notification from Best Buy to pick up my phone tomorrow....decided against it though. Gonna see where things go with this 6 plus.

For those who make use of the stylus though, this Note 4 is a beast that can't be beat.

I don't remember having that problem: only that I could fit the widget into a smaller space. Same number of grid squares, it was just that the squares were smaller.

But it has been a while since I used the TW-based custom ROM.

Made sure I tried the Plus asap since I knew the Note 4 was right round the corner. It was not even the right carrier or color lol.

Get it with the $200 trade in and return it if it is the loser. Your call whatever you decide.

Just got the pickup notification, I am stoked.
 
Dunno havnt heard anything. Three told me I would get a text tomorrow to track the delivery

They told me if I didn't get a text today then it will certainly be here tomorrow

Fingers crossed, sounds like u going to get it =) no news from unlocked-mobiles here.

Believe me, that 200$ off keeps tempting me for sure....but I don't know. Lol. At the same time, I feel like in a month or so I will be able to buy a t mobile Note 4 for a couple hundred off anyways and not have to deal with the locked down ATT bootloader.
 
Just got the BestBuy notification, my Note is in.

Now just hope it all goes as planned, the $199 online price mistake and the $200 trade in with a Nexus, iPhone 3G or Firefox phone.

If it all goes well, free upgrade to a Note 4 is unbeatable.
 
Interesting that many people posting over on XDA walked into ATT stores today and even yesterday and were able to buy a Note 4....

Yeah my friend did too, like 2 days before it's supposed to launch. I pre ordered and still don't have mine.
 
Got my spare battery kit too today

Cheers folks

Ordered from mobile fun. Co . UK. Just moving everything apps wise then I can have a real feel for the device. Display is simply stunning. That's the first thing I've noticed

Cool look forward to your review .... :) Give it a couple of days so you can gain a true measure of the device before posting....

Re: the S-Case is really strange with the horizontal ridges. it's like a pillow ...

Can you see if they have sorted the taking photos with s-case so that images taken with it on are regular photos and not strange square ones. I'm thinking of buying the S-case for my Alpha but that part (square photos) irked me with the Note 3.

Your order will be delivered 17 Oct by DPD.


Wooo

My 64gb iPhone 6 space grey arrives today too. 17 Oct is a gadget day clearly :D

Nice! 2 reviews I will look forward to reading.
The Games Note 4 review and MRUs IP6 review
 
I got it yesterday. Nice device but the att version is slightly laggy with touchwiz and bloat. This is with ART, and developer animations at 0.5x and with no apps running and S voice, s health, Google Now, and power savings mode all deactivated.

I'm also suprised that you can't multi-task with chrome in terms of having two Windows (split screen) open at the same time. You can do it with the Samsung Internet browser but not with two Chrome Windows.

When I got the phone, it wouldn't turn on! I forgot the battery comes separate lol. I gave it a full charge last night but I'll fully deplete it tonight when I come home. Since I don't have a case yet and I don't want to scratch up the bezels, I didn't didn't swap the sim card out of my Nexus 5 yet.
