Got my Note 4

Got my Note 4 last night at my local Vodashop's launch. It's the N910F international Snapdragon 805 one.
Went ahead and got it in Black

So far I am thoroughly happy with my purchase, it feels and looks very premium, a great step in the right direction by Samsung here, the phone feels solid.

TouchWiz has been trimmed down once again and the phone seems to handle even the heavy stuff without a hitch. I had a bunch of apps installing from Play Store while also web browsing and playing music, and it kept going without a single problem, and it seems to barely get hot, awesome job by Samsung.

Battery life also seems good, took it off charge this morning at 6:15am, went to work, showed it off: took pics, played some 4K videos, web browsed, it synced my work and personal emails, had Google Hangouts and WhatsApp going, also the odd bit of Facebook and Twitter, I'm home now and it's 7:13pm, still at 54% :D just brilliant.

Display is outstanding, colors are very vibrant and images incredibly detailed, scary how far mobile screen tech has come.

By the way, music through headphones is quite loud, louder than the S4 that I came from, will be interesting to know from those coming from the Note 3 or S5 if they feel the same?

Anyway, that's my little bit of how I'm finding my Note 4, I highly recommend it!

I am here to help anyone who is having trouble or is new to Samsungs, it's my 1st Note series phone though so I am also learning, the feature set is overwhelming! :)
 
My main issue will be the radios. Will the note 4 do better than the note 3 in holding a signal? Thats what i'm holding out for.
 
Well.... I have mine too, THAT's the ticket! Nice shiny Verizon black model... Yeah.... It strangely looks a lot like the S4 with an extended battery on it ;) :)

Curse Verizon and their unlimited data collar they have on me! That and their coverage map.

Well it held up well today, I am between areas with EDGE, HSDPA+ and LTE, and it never dropped or hung up. I know the Note 3 has a major issue with its antenna going between H, H+ and LTE, didn't see anything like that today.

Haha! It does resemble an overgrown S4, I am actually coming from an S4, must say this has been a worthy upgrade.

You Americans are lucky with unlimited data, my network gives me 250mb and I buy a 5GB data bundle monthly, luckily I have WiFi at home and work, so my 5.25GB is mainly used when I'm out and about.

I was actually referring to my S4 since Verizon are arrogant rubes who want their customers- that provide them jobs- to wait another week.

I might just stay with my S4 out of principle :)
 
So I had the HTC one m8 which was awesome but played with this when my dad got it and loved it. I called every store in the area and no one had one and told me they were back ordered. Well the next day called again to the store down the street and was told they got two in but couldn't hold them. Hopped in the car and headed that way and was able to snag the last one. So leads me to my question. What are some awesome apps or advice do you all have considering this is my first note.
