If anyone else has more questions, I'll try to answer them tomorrow as I have to tear myself away from the phone to sleep as I do have work in the morning when I'd rather be playing with my phone, haha. Night folks.

I am a short guy with not huge pockets can it fit in your pocket? How long does the battery last on a full charge with light use, mod use and heavy usage? Is this phone water resistent at all? I live in Seattle it rains all the time! Good for texting? good reception for calls? How is that speaker volume?

Maybe good for gaming? Hows wifi signal

Got my TMobile Note 4 delivered yesterday at 3pm! I got home at about 8pm and transferred my pictures from my Note 3 to the Note 4 and have been playing around with it ever since! I keep hitting what used to be the Menu button on the Note 3, I guess I will have to get used to that!

It feels about the same in my hand as the Note 3 did. I like the back of the Note 4 better, it has a better feel and no fake stitching. I also like the metal edge on the Note 4.

I do have a question for those who already have the phone. On the silver edging on the top and bottom of the phone, there are white marks. Why are they there and can you remove them?

I am a short woman with no so big pockets either. Fits in securely enough for me without being too tight. Smooth in and out. Haven't gone a full day yet with charge as I had forgotten to plug it back in when I went to bed so I'd get a full charge. But, the fast charging and charger are amazing! I plugged the phone in at 8:25 with 0% and at 9, it was at 68%. So, I'm optimistic. Good for texting, good for calls. WiFi is great so far. Don't know about gaming, but screen is great and there's a download booster which is great. Speaker volume will get tested more today.

I didn't notice them until you mentioned them. Not sure of their purpose.

The feel is great. The back has a more polished look without the stitching.
I have just switched from the Note 3 as well. Design, not exactly sure what you are asking (the physical design or the software setup) is really nice, in my opinion.
As for gap gate, I don't see a gap justbylooking. I really didn't bother testing out what could or couldn't fit. It looks fine, but I'd rather not put things in and create any further expansion. It does say it in the manual I download that it's there on purpose, and it looks just like my Note 3 does which apparently Samsung said the Note 3 had the same gap.
As for the recent apps button, not an oddball question at all cuz I was thinking the same at first. But, the menu button, is actually now on the top right of pages or apps that can use it. It's 3 vertical dots. For example, on a Web page where you'd see the number of open windows to the right of the address bar, now it has the number and to the right, the 3 vertical dots that serve the same function as the menu button. And, you can still long press the recent apps button if that's your preference.

Thank you VERY much! Yes, I was hoping there would be another MENU option. But I tell ya, I'm going to hit that button A LOT until I get used to it, haha.

I thought those white marks are LED lights and we got 4 of them. But its not.

chong67 · Oct 14, 2014

I have used the Note 4 for a day now.

You cant write anything to the SD card. But you can write to the SD card from outside and N4 can read it.

Google did this starting with KitKat and you can break this if you root.

So I see a few crab I dont need. I cant get rid of Amazon app unless I root. The default video player cant play my 1080p movies. I need 3rd party video viewer. I use ES File Explorer because I need to FTP.

I am going to root this phone. NO choice.

rushmore · Oct 14, 2014

Apparently the N4 is easy to root, but depends on the model. ... Gee, I wonder which the Verizon model will be??

Those white marks you see are some type of non metallic polymer that separates the different antenna bands in the metal edging so there is no interference between the bands.

R=G · Oct 14, 2014

Ordered Friday
Monday was a holiday
Shipped out today
Arriving tomorrow

Thanks. I was now very curious once it was mentioned.

I'll be honest...I wanted to display patience for the first time in my life, but with all of this shipping talk, I'm jealous that us Verizon folks are at least a week and a half away from getting ours. Please remember us when you get your great, new devices.

Haha, I'm sorry! I try to exhibit patience too but my GS4 is giving me so many problems that I am near desperate at this point so I couldn't hold back. Think of it this way, you will have better LTE coverage than us with TMo and ATT with your Note 4!

R=G · Oct 15, 2014

It arrived a hour and a half ago. Getting here one day after shipping. Beautiful. Can't wait to play with it. I'll get a case later tonight and a 128 SD card is also on my radar...I'm ready.

Aigoo · Oct 15, 2014

Phone shipped yesterday. FEDEX tracking shows it arrived in Philadelphia. My baby is 10 miles away....
Carrier: AT&T
Phone is due to arrive tomorrow ...while I'm at work.....frown!

mcbtrain929 · Oct 15, 2014

Preordered in-store TMobile last night. Got an email this morning saying it had shipped, but really just a tracking label had been created. But estimated delivery was......October 23?!?!??? I was hoping that was wrong.

Just checked the tracking number, and it updated saying it will be delivered by end of day tomorrow. Phew!

Towelroot on the N3 took about a minute to DL, then install. Rooting with it took a couple seconds. Hope the Verizon N4 is not some locked up beast to root. No root = No N4 for me. Even for the simple things like SD card write (gee thanks Kit Kat) and titanium restore of app data, I need root. There are a few other reasons I use root, but none of them deal breakers like the two reasons I mentioned above.

Interestingly, have yet to see someone post here, "I gots root!". Not as easy to root, or the current sample of folks non-rooters?.....
