How do you tell if you miss a message if you leave the phone in the other room? Tap the screen ?

It is a lot better than my note 9 camera one of the reason i upgraded despite the ughly punch hole and lack of led notification of this phone. Not to mention the ear piece sucks compare to the note 9. So many steps backwards to get a better camera :(

Is there some sort of feature that replaces the notification light which the ultra 20 lacks. They have this weird flash and edge light feature that only seems to work when the message comes in but if you miss the notification it is useless because it doesn't periodically blink. They have a...

I picked up a USA unlocked note 9 recently. The sound volume is mostly fine for most things (including notifications). However, the speaker phone is very soft. Is there anyway to boost the volume on the speaker phone ? I hear the s10+ is better but i just got this thing so would like to find a...

thanks for the comments. Was comparing this phone to a couple of others for a blackfriday purchase. Sounds like this one is hard to view outside.

This might be a standard issue with andriod that you have to make an http connection to authorized the connection (for example airports and hotels). What I do is open chrome and use the url http://yyy.com (it doens't have to be a real website. The key thing is to specify http:// since most...

I've been using a fifo 10 (usb dac) with my computer but to be honest since sandy bridge most dacs on computers are decent enough. As for this tablet sold it a long time ago - i have a 12 inch samsung pro but it is now dated and looking for a new 12 inch tablet but no one makes a decent one. 10...

I over simplified my answer. It might be a combination of the ssd and the cpu but it is extermely slow. I run the same software on my note 4 and venue 8800 and both run circles around the note pro. I do realize that the nand flash storage is not exactly the same as an ssd but it is, if you...

I have the wifi model which I presume is exynos; they used snapdragon for those models that required LTE. Playing games and watching video is fine but web-browsing is pretty bad. At one point i looked into the issue with modest detail and am pretty sure a good chunk of the perf issue was related...

Do all android apps run on chromebook plus? I'm sick of tired of the note pro 12.2 being slow as a dog (esp the built in ssd). My phone feels 10x faster (note 4) but i would really prefer a 12 inch andriod tablet and no one is making those (I can live without the pen but 10 inch is too small). -...

You know I screwed up and posted this in the wrong forum. It was an update to the Note 4 not the Note 2; and it was just a security update.

Too late already installed; but the new version is: mmb29m.n910vvrs2cpl1

There is a new OTA notification; any clue what it contains ?

Just before I left town (6 months ago?) I did find a 5.x tw rom for the note 2 but I can't find it now. Might have been a work in progress. Someone had taken samsung code and thrown in the verizon drivers but maybe I am mistaken. Anyway I doubt I will use my note 2 again; the radio in it is...

The quesiton wasn't intended to be 'loaded' and I shoudl have been more precise. I was looking for a touch wiz rom that was a bit newer then what i had. As it turns out I've already taken my trip so I've powered off the unit (though I should probably still update it). The actual note 2 I is...

ok thanks.

Does that support the pen functions ?

Well one thing I noticed (not sure if it was this update or the last one) is that when you pick an application to use (like browser) it becomes the default. With the old OS it would ask you to use just once or make it the default. Arrgggg I prefer to pick the application as needed and not make...

Any clue what the new update being pushed today contains ?

Was out of town a while; no of course not too much stuff on the device.

I have a note 2 that I haven't used for a couple of years but now I am going to europe for a week and wanted to use it in europe. It currently has clean room (I think) 4.8 which is around 2 years old. Then the guy who was updating it moved on to another device and a while later I upgraded to...

fyi. I've already had one 'crash' where the soft keys became very confused then the device locked up. Wasn't doing much with it either - just texting.

Just downloaded and installed. All the icons are yucky now. My phone was fully stock so did not have the same concerns as some of you with regards to boot loader et all. Location is Boston. Seems ok so far other than the yucky icons.

Before I upgraded to lollipop the weather applet location would not require a gps lock (which is not possible in my apartment) and would use approx methods (most likely towers since wifi/blue tooth are off). After the upgrade it requires a gps lock (the setting is high precision which is...

Mind sound decent; and folks on the other-side say I sound fantastic; much better than old phone which was note 2.

On the note 2 there is a toggle to use the flash as a flash light (status bar). Can't find it on the note 4 ..... any way to restore it ? i know there are apps but they have excessive permissions or serve ads and the buit in phone feature was convenient.

seems better than note 2.

yea i thought about switching to nova; not quite ready to go that far yet but maybe eventually.

Is there a list of 'free goodies' from samsung; also do we need to register to get them? I know with the tablets they were giving you google play $$.

pro/con: cheaper (at least it would be for myself) no bull**** over hotspot; tmobile includes it with all plans throttle data after using allotment (no overcharge ) - con: some people say reception is worse (don't know never used it) some people say reception inside is worse due to higher...

note 2 had it; also on the note 2 icons look nicer; less blocky and tend to be dark with white letters instead of white with dark letters.

5 works ok with my asus router and speed went from 13mp/s to 29mp/s ....

What is an inbox by gmail invite ?

Ok missed that option; it works like a charm (hope they add it to the tablet); still can't do the circular thing which I like but not end of world.

On wifi i saw 19.30 up/down 25ms latency; on mobile 9.8 up/23 down with 58ms latency

So the left most screen is this news thingy that is similar to flipboard; also when i flip from screen to screen they are no longer circular (like the note 2 - what I mean is when i get to window n; it doesn't then go to window 1) can i make it circular (even if I can't remove the flipboard) ?

$299 + 43 tax - $200 trade in - $25 (left over on the $50) so around 113. Of course version will add another $30 (which I can't figure out i mean isn't this the same as saying the upgrade price is $329 ?)

I this a touch wiz or verizon change ?

I think the unit i use is a sanyo 800ma 5 volt. I don't mind the slwo charge as long as it can't harm the battery. This is only used during travel and office; @ home I use the charger that came with the device.

Well i would normally never pre-order but the original $200 deal required preorder AND my note 2 was feelling a bit old (aws and a few other issues). To be honest in a lot of ways I prefer the note 2; but maybe it is just familiarity.

Just took a picture; and it was written to the card; when to filemanager and deleted picture; sd card seems to work fine.

I received my white preorder (best buy); but as someone else said not enough of them to fulfill preorders; maybe next week. I think the white one is a lot nicer than the black one but I prefer the icons on the note 2 to the icons on note 4 (well dialer anyways)

I traded in an old phone (3 years old) that I had purchased at amazon; it was basically my first smart phone - keeping the note 2 for a little while as a 'backup' also I have to figure out how to copy the 'important' data I want to keep. -- Trade in was not an issue; I think the only time it can...

I have a couple of generic chargers I've been using with my note 2 for a couple of years. I realize these will charge slower than the samsung fast charge charger but is there any reason we can't use them or will they impact battery life (I would think they would increase battery life); i supect...

Well this took a bloody long time; from the clock over 2 hours :( But i have a new phone :)

Well I'll find out how things go in about 15 minutes....

This is true for the 'more everything' but single user plans do not include hotspot and are NOT unlimited. Verizon is not suppose to hinder third party hotspot applications for this class of users but they do disable the built-in hotspot feature of the phone. Btw T-mobile allows all limited...

I will be getting a white one tomorrow.

I had a similar situation they said i could pick it up but then as I was getting ready to go over there they call me on my cell phone and said they can't let me pick it up till the 24th (not the 23rd but the 24th) by 'law'. I'm still on hold trying to get clarification because I want to pick it...

white; oct 2nd.
