Hopeful mine will be delivered this week, then we will be all good again.

Fabulous!! Enjoy your new phone.

*Any of the old ones for sale, or does it all go into your Samsung collection?

I'll probably pass the old ones on to my dad, he loves his gadgets even more than I do.
But you are not very fond of white phones in any case if I recall correctly?

For those Samsung fans out there, what is the easiest way to move from one Samsung to a galaxy note 4? Will there Smart Switch software do the job, or rather do a full backup and full restore?

I look forward to thoughts.

Smart Switch most probably. But it all depends on what you need to take across. Not sure if Smart Switch takes app settings and those things across.

Try Helium: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

Free, takes app + data (has some exceptions, but tells you what those are), root NOT required if you use the PC companion app, which is also free. I used it to go from Note3 to Note4 successfully.

Anyone with a Note 4 that also had/have a Note 3 who can give me a few "TRUE" reasons why you think the Note 4 is better than the Note 3?

I'm not really interested in anything else that's available for my next upgrade. So it's either the Note 4 or I just do the upgrade without taking a device.

Much less crapware

Screen, Build Quality and the Camera are a big improvement. I often used a friend's Note 3 these last few weeks to get me ready for the 4, but when I got the Note 4 I realised this is a whole new and refined beast.

LOL....banana is going to take out ANOTHER phone contract.

 

[soldierboi]

SO....who has root already and has knox counter been affected. Which method have you used? CF-Root or TowelRoot?
I am thinking about rooting, but need to fully understand the possible warranty impacts etc.

Mainly need root for Xposed Framework for Xgels Launcher, Gravitybox and InstragramDownloader.

If you read my previous posts then you'll know that one of my contracts is due for upgrade on 1st of November.
