Will there be an ugly Verizon logo on the home button of the Note 4 ?
This is a premature question since the Verizon Note 4 would not be out until a few more weeks but I thought I just ask. Perhaps someone has an inside source.
I hope not

Have you looked at the VZW Note 4 page? No logo.
Note sure why you would think there would be a logo. Note 3 didn't have one. Neither did the S4 or S5.

Yeah, I remember those days well. Thankfully VZW has stopped this practice with recent Galaxy releases. Although they still love putting their logos on the rear battery cover.
My Galaxy Note 3 does not have one. So I hope the same for Note 4.
I don't think it's possible thanks to the fingerprint reader. Quick, Samsung, put fingerprint readers on all of your phones! Delete the ugly logos!

Alright guys anybody know if they are going to have a note 4 developer edition for verizon? I know it is earlier as i leaked the note 3 developer edition last year to Droid-life seen here (http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/1...outs-verizon-galaxy-note-3-developer-edition/)
I know this wasnt found by myself until October 11th and i think the note 3 came out on verizon on October 10th? Just wondering if anybody has some inside on the note 4 developer edition.
Do not need your opinions that it is a waste of money or etc etc i am buying off contract and will own a developer edition just wondering if i should preorder a note 4 like i did note 3 and then return the note to verizon when dev comes out
I hope for Germany too.

Dev Note 4
Hope so. I would rather have a dev. phone than be locked to VZW's ROMs with all the crapware installed.
Put me down for one if that happens, or does anyone want to sell their Note 3 Dev. cheap?
If there's no Note 4 Dev. Ed., I'll pick up the Nexus Shamu. I won't really miss the stylus, but the camera with OIS would be nice to have.
By the time the DE comes out, the retail phone should be rooted and have a custom recovery.
if you think that, you dont know samsung and verizon. The verizon samsung phones have even more protection in the bootloader, heck the s4 and s5 arent even unlocked yet, and they are very popular.

I do not expect it to be unlocked only to be able to use SS for recovery and ROM flashing

Wow, that's insane. I wonder how much I can get for mine. It's not mint (I picked up a tiny, tiny scratch in the bottom left hand side of the screen somehow even though I'm insanely careful), but it's close. I was just hoping to get $400, but now I'm wondering if I can get a tad more.

In a nutshell can you guys tell me what advantage the developers edition will give versus buying it from Verizon?

advantages are unlocked bootloader so you get custom roms from other carriers, kernels etc thats really it. backup and restore with twrp too i guess

The Note 3 Developers Edition had an unlocked bootloader. Necessary if you want to install a custom kernel. So far as have read, no developer edition has been announced for the Note 4. Indeed, predictions seem to be that it will be locked down very tightly.
Are we going to get it before Note 5 comes out?

Most likely. The reason why the Note 4 is getting the update so late, is because the Samsung VR has to also be capable with the Lollipop update. Also, I believe that Samsung, and also carriers, are looking at other devices (such as the Galaxy S5) to see what bugs need fixing before releasing it to the Note 4. My guess for a good release date would be this month. But no later than April (that's when the Galaxy S6 comes out). I hope I helped.
Now What?
Samsung has released Lollipop for the Note 4, Sprint already has it and ATT is pushing it out now. VZW last again, any idea what the hold up is now?

Me thinks you answered your own question.
This would require someone here to have a crystal ball...
So far, I'm relatively happy with my Note 4, with one big caveat- no root.
You've probably read the advance press on the Note 5. Sounds nice, but no SD and non-removable battery makes it a non option for me. To boot, I don't believe future Notes will be rooted, unless you buy a developer's edition.
Whilst shopping through coming phones... I find nothing I'm looking for in a top-end phone. Does anyone have a clue for me? What's next? Does the Note 4 even HAVE a successor?
Maybe someone can disillusion me about the future- and I'd appreciate getting rid of my illusions, seriously. Thanks for any help.

This fall LG is coming out with a phablet with a like s-pen of their own. It will have a removable battery and sd card slot. If the pen preforms like the s-pen then I'm all in.

I've been wondering the same thing. I don't even think I'll stick with Samsung after this, after years of loyalty. They are going downhill by making their phones like all the rest of them. :/

Outcaster pointed out an interesting possible alternative on the horizon, the LG G Pro 3.
If it's anything like the specs it's rumored to have (stylus, sd card, removable battery, 4 gig ram, etc.) LG may be getting the market share they're looking to glean this year.

It may be an awesome phone but I can't help but think Verizon will make them lock it down. Are other LG phones on Verizon unlocked?
Honestly not strongly considering messing with the Note 5 or any of the others. I'm on a Note 3 right now...maybe a Note 4 when a solid root method comes around?
I'll be tempted if it has a removable back/battery and card slot, but it's not a done deal unless it has more than 4gb ram. That's the only place my Note 3 makes me sad. It seems a waste to have made the leap the 64bit, and only have 4gb. How about 6-8? Any power consumption reasons this isn't likely? Or does it have to do with being strapped for space with an SOC?
The only other thing that might tip me over to a Note 5 would be a giant screen option. We're stuck without anything bigger than a Note on Verizon. My gf is vision impaired, and I was shocked to find out that none of the 6" phones were available with Verizon.
The bootloader is locked but they are all rootable.

Is the Note 4 the only unrootable phone out there? If it is that sucks because it's potentially a great phone. But bloatware and ads are a deal breaker for me.

Due to my wife's health problems I really need the s-pen. I need to take notes when I talk to health providers.
Note 3 still has not root on 4.4.4.
Which sucks cus I just bought one on that version.
Back to my Note 2 I go.
Root is only part of it. A custom recovery is what I care about most. Amazing how invaluable the nandroids of my note 2 have been over the last three years.
Why should a phone owner not be able to make a backup of their phone??
I need your help dear

Sorry I can't help. I dumped my Verizon Note 4 for a T-Mobile Note 4. One of the best moves I've made in a long time. Verizon can lock down their phones forever if they like- but I will NOT buy them. The service is much much better on Tmobile anyway.

I see you have a DE, so it's a moot point, but some people may be happy with disabling the bloatware instead of removing it and using Adguard. That's what I did with my roommates' retail Notes, and they're both quite pleased with the result. I'd hate my life without root and custom recovery, but to each their own.

Yeah custom recovery and root are a couple of the other reasons why I bought my DE. Viper4android is another. One of the best perks of my phone is the awesome battery life. I still don't know why mine is so good when so many retail phone owners are unhappy with it. Does the method of bloatware removal you mentioned help?

Idk what the successor is for me and I just got the Verizon version. The wife bought it for Christmas because I've been paying rent a center $100 a month for a few months for their T-MOBILE Note 4 and she was hoping to save me money. I'm reluctant to let go of the rent a center version because I've unlocked the boot loader, rooted and flashed a stock debloated deodexed Rom on it. Its does what I want it to and Verizons version wont let me. Very upsetting.
I have an at&t HTC one m8 also. I'm thinking of selling the two phones and trying to get a note 4 dev edition somewhere
Who is excited to get note 8 that gone be out... Let's just home I wine be same problems as note 7 did... Because the lates leaks hiring me existed for this devise
I had no issues with my Note4 and current Note5. However I'll get the note 8 since there will be no new firmware for my N920A and it can't be rooted.
Same I have no issues wit my note 5 just lack memory card.... And note 4 screen is done
Honestly, I love my Note 5. The camera is top notch and it seems like the perfect size.
I may not get the Note 8 and there's only 1 reasone why - - AT&T NEXT. Monthly payment on a phone that will never be mine until I am like 30 months into owning it on monthly payments. Not to mention it is locked down. I want a device I can freely modify with custom roms and Samsung is locking down devices tightly. I can't risk tripping Knox with a phone that's not mine.
I'm not getting one. I prefer a flat screen on my phone. I can't abide curved screens for loads of reasons.. but mainly the inability to fit an adequate screen protector.
So unless Sammy decides to release a flat screen variety then I'll stick to my note 5.
And as a side bar... Phone prices are getting rediculous, and while new incarnations of tech offer more the functions remain broadly the same imo....
After getting nougat and watching nougat comparison to s8...there's not much difference in performance...If they step up the note 8 well...I think I'd get the note it...but I'd love to get my hands on the note 7r first...
Hope it comes to the USA...

For the first time since US notes stopped being root&rommable, I can actually get the exynos and have lineageos *and* a stylus! (I loved my oneplus 6t, but no stylus wasn't working for me.)
But I can't figure out which model I need so it'll work on the t-mobile network in the US. I don't care about 5g either way. I want the 512 tho.
I could try googling again after I get some sleep, but I figured it was worth just asking y'all, and maybe I'll wake up to the answer.
