As we all getting the devices today in UK thought id make a thread for us .
First question i wanted to ask was in some video on youtube ive seen yahoo on apps edge cant seem to find it in uk model only cnn. Looked in galaxy store as well.
Got mine today.
Checked and cannot see Yahoo on apps edge
Was so excited about mine being delivered by o2 via ukmail. But it would appear they wouldn't leave it in my safe place opposite the front door (even though the delivery guy could have closed the padlock) so I've been forced to reschedule it even though the same thing is going to happen tomorrow. So so annoying!!
Im personally coming from the 6p which was a much bigger phone. I am liking the s7 edge only thing is getting use to picking it up from my desk too slippy will have to put a case on it and hopefully root soon .
I'm still waiting for mine to come, but I was wondering if the Yahoo app would be on it, is there something in its place or is it just missing all together

A lot of reviews suggested it is seamless. However, I found the chrome edges to be a tiny bit sharp which was disappointing but nothing huge. I'll have a case on it tomorrow anyway
Are all the uk models using the exynos chips?

Yesterday I met him for several minutes.

only 4 points multitouch? have you try it with the multitouch visible test?
Errr, how tall are you irl, OP ? Mainly asking to get a visual of your average hand size in my head, cause the phone looks huge in those pictures.

That is the size of X10 a little longer. Photos are closeups and that is why they look like that.
Yep, tried multitouch visible test and I get four points. A fifth finger makes no impression... The four that are there are rock solid, though. Can't say as I see a clear need for all five fingers at the same time, but maybe I'm missing something?

No need for more then 4 tbf
But the digitizer is supposed to support up to 32 so a custom rom will prob make more avalible if needed

I was lucky enough to be invited to the Press Release seminar two days ago in Hong Kong, with actual Engineering sample units to be played with.
Damn this thing is really light. I've also heard that DoCoMo in Japan has released the red colored version exclusively, aside from the silver and dark blue edition that is released as originally announced. The exclusive unit also has double the size of ROM for storage as well!
How I wish I can bring that home right away... haha!
BTW it comes with an HDMI cable if you purchase from online SE or directly from the Sony Store with the arc, but if you purchase Neo, it will not be bundled with.

Yeah, the "other" colour for Japan is pink The 1gb ROM is a mistake on Docomo's part, and for some reason they chose to not give us the HDMI cable over here (the shop staff I asked didn't even know the Arc had HDMI out )

It was connecting for a second, but would never get fully connected, kept disconnecting before it would display my note on my tv. Did some research and other people said triangle away worked, so I tried it and it was just what I needed. I had already tried stuff like fixing permissions and whatnot. I was on a rooted stock rom at the time. I also didn't want to to a factory data reset, which I ended up doing anyways to fix my snotes. Either way, it is working perfectly now! Great for netflix and hulu when I need to

This is no big deal because when you register your GN 10.1 online Samsung will email this coupon code but, stupidly, it doesn't work for tablet accessories.

I've thought about getting one but don't want to spend 30 bucks on something I haven't held yet. Do you have a caliper you can measure the diameter of the grip? or can you relate it to some other pens? I like the thicker pens so I can grip them
Also, how does it work with the button?

Some comparisons from my S-Pen collection. The lower 1/4 is rubberized so it's easier to grip and that's where the button is. It's a little far down but it's the same way on the stock pen. It works well and feels fine if that's your concern.

Perfect! Is it possible to put the pen in the holder to disable the button? That would be nice so I stop accidently hitting it in snotes
I've been trying to find some of the alternate colors for the Note 3.
I'm on T-Mobile and I noticed they only offer black & white.
After digging a little deeper it looks like none of the carriers have the colorful varieties.
Can anyone confirm this. Can I get the Note 3 in other colors?
As far as I know you are stuck with white and black for the initial offering with pink to perhaps follow. Pink phones don't sell well and require inventory space. Space is At a premium for most retail shops.
Maybe you'll get them when you lot learn how to spell colours!

I can understand that. But, I kind of feel it's a rip to not give us all the options that Samsung offered.

There are three colors and you can have two of them. So you're lamenting not being able to buy Blush Pink? Since that's the only color missing your thread title should be "No Blush Pink for the US???"

Gold is Best. Best! Best! Best!
After watching the drop test video, I ended up pulling the trigger on a slim Spigen case. I'm hoping that at least maybe the impact to the case would help minimize shock to the phone a little bit. I know that getting a flip cover to protect the screen side would be more effective, but I don't think that I'd really want to flip the cover open each time I want to use my phone.

No thanks. We're more efficient over here. We're better about removing excess letters that aren't even pronounced in a word.
I'd consider using a pink Note 3 /rebelgade
Also, I personally wouldn't buy one of those aluminum back plates since the phone is designed with its factory plastic back plate in mind. My two cents, anyway.
Just wait a few months that's how Samsung roles.
Color options always come later on, but given its the a Galaxy Note device its not as common place as the Galaxy S line in color options. Still it might happen.
Just wait a little and before you know it just like the s4 we will have a lot of color options in the states

Supposedly it screws up the NFC feature, which I don't really care about at this point. Thought they look pretty slick personally. And for 7 bux shipped, no big loss if it's junk...

If you were to speak English properly, you would pronounce them, albeit subtly!
It also wasn't a very efficient removal either since only half a job was done - Photo/Foto and Quick/Kwik spring to mind....

Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird random vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!
Is the bootloader unlocked? Jk.
They make and sell a replica of the note 4' I've seen s couple of really good knockoffs, but they run like sh.t. Your boy got a fake phone

Don't show night shots! Between that and the shipping and communications fiasco, Andy Rubin is already in hiding.
I've never had a phone that was good at taking night shots. I'm coming from the LG G6 and the night shots suck just as much as any other phone. Don't see what the big deal is.
Quick question. Can you check the display settings and see if there is a blue light filter? Or night light whichever they call it? Thanks!

Got mine today. All I can say is WOW!
As a die hard Nexus fan for years, Pixel didn't cut it for me. Essential feels like Nexus is back. Amazing phone.
Yeah, I am really enjoying this phone...the only things I wish it had were the fingerprint gestures and the night mode. Those are the only things I miss from my Pixel XL. Anyone know if the apk's for those are floating around? Would be nice to install like the Google HDR camera app which seemed to improve the camera a bit.
You can search Google for the camera app. It's also floating around the apps section under the essential phone forum
