  2. Thank you for a very informative page, I have found that camera burst cannot be switched off on Galaxy note 4. It would be a very minor software change to reinstate this function as the detection is there and it only needs a line in settings.
    I am incredibly disappointed with hardware that removes a facility in one model without reinstating if the next model require it. It is very difficult to check if the spec includes all that you require as it is so complex and only the latest and greatest are mentioned not the ones you have sneaked out. When you did your research and asked for ‘what people want’ please include all current functionality for consideration. Not Happy.

  4. Does the Note 4 have the photo note option like Note 3? Where you take a picture and flip it over and write on the back? I have over 100 pictures for work that I have notes on but the lack of this feature or app has caused me not to upgrade. Are there any apps available that would allow me to do this to existing pictures?

  52. Hi,

    How can I put all my contacts as just one same person instead of having the same contact in 4 – 6 rows on my contact list on my note 4. Also, I have my finger print registered on my phone but each time I tried to swipe with my finger to unlock the phone, it keeps telling me to swipe slowly, move down, up and so on. I’m tired of typing the backup password every time. Please advice.

  55. Does anyone know if you can switch the location of the capacitive buttons (“recent apps” and “back”)? I want the “back” button on the left side of screen because i hold it in my left hand and my hand is too small to reach across screen for one-handed back button operation.

    Probably the lights themselves will be stuck with the normal location as they are most likely hardware cutouts under the screen…but can you hack the operation of the buttons? Meaning, when i push the “recent apps” button..can it actually activate the “back” function?

    Reply

    • I guess i answered the question myself by changing my google search terms. There are ways to swap the function of the buttons…and if you turn off the lights of the capacitive buttons then you won’t even know you hacked the functionality of the buttons….search google for “galaxy note 4 swap recent apps and back button” and you’ll find out how to do it. Unfortunately, you will have to root the phone to hack the functionality of the button.s

  60. Hi again!

    How do you get to the settings on individual applications such as the Facebook application?

    With my old Note 2, I could simply hold down the lower left key and it would bring up the settings for whatever application i was currently in. This button doesn’t have that effect on the Note 4.

    I’ve tried looking through a few different possibilities within settings and also whilst in the app, and I just can’t work it out.

    Specifically, I want to stop it from making sounds every when certain things happen in Facebook.

    Thanks!
