Seems like 4G+ draining battery faster. In most cases, for normal browsing and non contiguous download of large file, normal 4G is adequate. If 4G+ us going to use lots of battery juice compared then 4G, it would need to be disabled from setting.

A proper coverage of 4G is already at 150mbps. More than enough.

Press and hold the recents key will bring you the menu but unfortunately menu will still drop down from top

hi all,

Not sure if i am too sensitive about the phone's camera quality or what, does anyone else have problem with the camera photo quality in low light setting (indoor inside my lighted room)?

The screen is very grainy and very hard to swallow down the fact the it is a 16mp camera. Honestly, my iphone5S can perform way better in that similar setting.

hope someone can help with any settings that would help make the experience better. Or just luck that i have a faulty set?

Yea notice that too. Using Wi-Fi don't drain much which is good.

Someone told me it is a change required by Google. In short, in future, all settings menu needs to be access by pressing the menu button on screen in-apps (like S5 and Note 4) and not by pressing a hardware menu button (like Note 3).

So Samsung change the "menu" button to the "recent apps" button in S5 and Note 4.

Stick to 3G/H+. It is pretty fast nowadays since a lot of users are on 4G network. Save battery life too.

I just tried in my company toilet with the lights switched off. Turn on HDR and it looks better.

Erm...you should know camera has never Samsung forte right..i do see grainy n the screen..thats the noise i think
I personally think IP is better than Samsung in this area.
Only way you can improve is to do manual shot with own adjustment white balance, ISO, theres only so much u can do.

take a shot and let us see

4G@150Mbps is only the theoretical speed. I find 4G+ very much faster when surfing the net

Thats really sad.
A major drawback I find...at least for me.

It only proves that user experience and performance is not all about specs.
