Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910F)

Anonymous — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:09:57 GMT

Am NOW proud owner of a Note 4. (Powered by KitKat 4.4.4 + Sim Free)

Any tips on getting the best out of it on o2.

When Lolipop is ready will I get it quickly OTA rather than waiting for a network to approve? (like in past)

Thanks for any input.

(Hopefully Samsung will keep it tuned-up as Sony let my SP down!)

I guess depending on whether you're on PAYG, or Sim Only you can make the most out of O2's own Apps such as TU Go, Priority Moments, O2 WiFi to name but a few!

It depends on whether you bought it from o2 which it will be network approved & have bloatware for definite. If you got from CPW or directly from Samsung then you should get it straightaway

Thanks for replies....

Have downloaded some apps like o2 ones (via myapps in play store)

I'm on o2 pay monthly.

It was a prize so totally free of any network. (TG no bloatware after 10+ yrs @ o2 handsets)

In that case you should get the update straightaway

For clarity as your Note 4 (you LUCKY THING! !!!) is not locked to any network (i.e. when you turn it on it doesn't show
a networks logo filling up the front screen) then you won't have to wait for the network to review the update first.

When Samsung release lollipop they will do it in batches and when it is your turn your phone will download it. I would recommend you do this on wifi as it can be a fair chunk of data.

You could use Samsung Kies when lollipop is released if you really can't wait but I personally wouldn't recommend it.

I am assuming you know how to check for firmware updates but just in case

Settings
General
About device
Software update
Check for updates

I would make sure the Auto update box and the Update only over wifi box are both ticked.

As for your question "any tips on how to get the best out of the Note 4" well yes I do have a tip @Netcat. Give it to me and get yourself a Nokia 3310!

The Note 4 is a fabulous piece of kit and you will find new functions with it for months to come. Enjoy the journey

Hi piperdog123

I have a 6300 LOL (use it for radio, odd game, alarm + anti-spam text/calls i.e. entering prize draws)

It's knowing where to start with Note 4 as its like a maze of features / settings!

Knowing where to start can be a challenge in itself. I have a note 3 which I have had almost a year and I still find new things it can do.

I half expect it to wash up and do the ironing sometimes. The 4 is likely to do the cooking too.

Start with the things you want to do with your phone and build from there. If you like sport for example then SkyGo and BT Sport work well on there.

Downloaded: Tv catch-up's / Weather app / AV / NewsP / o2 apps / Speedcheck / maps etc.

Pinball Rocks game.

You have any apps or games that make use of the Note screen?

Any Pen apps you use and are you a regular scriber / scribbler ??

Bought a £3 clear screen protector THOUGH you can buy a temperered one - do u have a T. one?

Congratulations on getting the Note 4......its a truely fantastic handset.

The best way to learn how to use a new handset is by just playing with it and after a while you'll grasp it.

If you get you stuck or need advice, there are plenty of us here with the same handset
