I'm wondering if anybody in the US is on the new firmware yet. Go to about your device and see if you are on XXU1ANJ4. Mine is still on XXXXANI1. There were articles that the new firmware should help with battery drain. http://phandroid.com/2014/10/13/note-4-firmware-update/

Why can't I install Starbucks on the Note 4?

Anybody else having a hard time getting a Note 4 from Best Buy? I have Sprint and am trying to take advantage of the $200 trade in since I didn't pre-order one. I've called a number of local Best Buys and most are only saying that you could place an order for it while others did have it but...

I've been using my Note 2 for about a year. While I wouldn't call it slow it certainly stutters and isn't as smooth as it was when I first got it. Other than doing a full wipe is there anything I can do to try and get back to the buttery smooth experience I had when I first got it? Thanks.

Is there any way for me to always unlock to my default home screen rather than the home screen I was on when my phone locked? I find it annoying to never know where my phone is going to open up. I can much quicker plan on unlocking and swiping a few screens to the left or right to get to the...

I've been noticing recently that my Note 2 has been getting warm when it is left in my pocket for periods of time. This will often lead to poorer battery performance as well. When it is out of my pocket it will cool down and the battery dissipation will go back to normal. This is my first...

Is there any way to open a PDF and draw on it with the Note 2? I can't seem to find an application to do this but it seems like it should be there. I don't need to be able to save the PDF to send to others, just see my notes when I open the PDF on my Note 2. Thanks.

I'm really struggling with all the ads that are around which is ruining my browsing experience. I often try to X them away but that usually leads to me just clicking on the ad and it opening a new tab. I started using the stock browser and have switched to Dolphin. Both have had this...

One of the settings for the SPen asks about dominant hand. I'm a lefty and am wondering what is different with this selection. I'm guessing it gauges the tilt of the pen different but can't really see anything noticeable. I definitely wish there was a left handed version of the phone where...

This is pretty strange so I thought I'd check here with people. I got my new Sprint Note 2 today. When I was at home it connected to my wifi network and worked fine. When I got to work I connected it to our wifi network and the internet won't work. If I turn off wifi internet comes back...

Seeing more and more Note 2 users (or prospective users) switching from iPhones (including myself) so I thought I'd do a quick poll to see the previous phones that people are switching from.

I tried a bunch of Sprint stores today and none of them had any real information about the Note 2 and Thursday. They all said they "heard" it was being released on Thursday but no other info. I'm really starting to wonder if they will be in stock and available on Thursday or maybe just that...

Wondering if anybody has any recommendations for which SD Card to get? I'm leaning towards the SanDisk 64GB SDXC which seems to do a 45MB/s transfer as opposed to their $12 cheaper version which only does 30MB/s. I don't know if that would have a meaningful impact but seems worthwhile...

There has been a lot of talk around here of people wanting to get the 32 or 64GB versions. Now with Sprint announcing the Note 2 and it almost being certain that they will first release the 16GB one I'm trying to determine if that will suffice for my needs as waiting for a later release would...

Slingbox just released some new models and it looks like they've discounted their software from $30 to $15. I don't know how long this is going to last so I'm thinking of purchasing the app with my Play Store account. Before I do, it looks like Slingplayer on Android has different version...
