Over the 4th weekend I traveled into Siren, WI. This was the only time I had connectivity problems. We were at a cabin near Clam Lake and my phone was roaming most of the time. There were a few areas where I had pretty good LTE speeds, but it was hit or miss. The interesting part is my wife (T-mobile) was dead in the water, I was partially working (Fi) and my in-laws were both fine (ATT / Verizon). So, while I had better coverage than if I were just to have T-Mobile, it is still worse in remote areas.

Funny, my friends have a cabin just north of there near Webster and I spend quite a bit of time there. That area has had spotty T-Mobile coverage for years. T-Mobile's map says that T-Mobile as 4G LTE speeds there but it has never been very good. Project Fi doesn't show it, so I'd trust Fi's map over T-Mobile's.

Battery life has been great, I don't have to worry about charging during the day unless I have heavy use. Even if I do have to charge the 'quick charge' feature gets me all I will need to finish out the day in under 30 minutes.

I must admit I've been pleasantly surprised by the battery life too.

The phone is automatically setup to do it.



They do not have a family or group plan as of right now, so you'd have different bills but yes she could move over obviously.



Yes, you can bring your own Nexus 6.

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure how it worked if I had an invite but other family members don't.

The guy from work backed out on me so if anyone is interested in purchasing a (unlocked) Verizon Note 4 in flawless condition, shoot me a PM. The phone has zero blemishes, hasn't been exposed to water (none of the PH indicators have been triggered) and has been used since early October of last year. I'll include thisSpeck Case(which I highly recommend) for it as well.

I'd like to get $350 (and you cover shipping) for it which is a pretty damn good deal from what I can tell.

You should cancel your order online. If you talk to them, more than likely they will kick you off the unlimited data plan.

Do we have any early leaked info on the Note 5 yet? I'm due for an upgrade this fall, and that would probably be my first choice since I love my Note 3, but I'm going to be pissed if I lose my SD card slot(and I'm assuming I will)

Had my Note 4 for a few weeks now. Here's my thoughts coming from an ancient Galaxy Nexus:

-n4 camera is fucking beautiful.
-I miss stock Android
-I don't care for hard home/nav buttons. Loved my gn soft nav buttons.
-10+ hours of battery makes me hard
-don't care for Samsung keyboard
-I'm not sure when I'll ever use the stylus

Yup. I'm all about the Swype style. Seems to make it sooo much easier for people like me who want to type actual words and sentences in out texts. Though I have to say, the default google version is not as good at learning as Swype was. It absolutely will not default to saying fuck or shit when I put those in, no matter how many times I assure it I am not saying duck or shut. Is there some setting I could change to fix this?

I used to like Swift then I just started having issues with it. My Note 4...while the camera was a thing of beauty, just wasn't up my ally. The Note 3 is the best overall phone I've ever owned and I felt the Note 4 was a pretty big letdown from that.

I got into a huge fight with Sprint about a month ago and ported out, I'm currently using an iPhone 6+. I like it well enough. Camera is a visible downgrade but I like the rest of the phone. I just wanted to finally try an iPhone out after being Android/Samsung4Lyfe since I've had smart phones.

On a side note, I switched to TMobile when they had their uncapped, throttled data promo going....I can pull 40mb down on network. It's pretty crazy.
