Note 4 - Feature Packed but Touchwiz hindered.

The note 4 is one of the most beautifully functional products I have ever touched. I have owned Iphones and androids over the past 5 years and can say that the Galaxy Note 4 is one of the most thoughtfully designed phones to date with a wonderful, tough screen. The multi-window feature and s-pen take this device to another level completely-- as well as the different camera modes and image processor currently loaded. As an architect I use this device nearly as much as my computer and don't intend to switch back, the s-pen brings amazing productivity and major gains in workflow, and I can now leave my DSLR at home (See the image samples below). With these things being said, I am irritated by a few features.
I am disappointed in the laggyness and sporadic behavior of samsungs touchwiz software. I have applied all of the suggested fixes (turning off window animation and switching off whether touchwiz waits the two seconds for another tap before launching the homescreen.) I have had only slight success in fixing the 2 second lag when pressing the home button. I have also switched between touchwiz, cyanogen Mod, and lollipop on another note device (root is not available under ATT right now for the Note 4 so I used the Note 3). Touchwiz has been slower for me, but not by too much. This is not a deal breaker as the lag is not apparent when typing. or doing other repetitive tasks.
I also do not like the bloatware ATT has pushed into my face that came preloaded on my device, only with the ability to disable instead of remove. I find this outrageous and samsung must take back control. This is a reflection of your company, as you a represented directly by the costumers experiences with YOUR products/devices. Do not accept this and allow a company to become pushy because of a guaranteed sales contract. If your device is good it will sell (OnePlus). I will root the note 4 ASAP because of this, but can assure you it has hindered performance, usability, and my overall enjoyment. Who manufactured this device? I'm having trouble telling with the giant white At&t logo on the back of my Galaxy Note 4.
Other than this, the device is the best smartphone I have ever used, but could go for around 4gbs of ram ;P.
I have used the following devices, all rooted/jailbroken.
Cheers-- and make sure to GRAB A NOTE 4 if you love progressive, sleek technology.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, gorilla glass, feature rich, s-pen, camera modes, camera quality
Cons: touchwiz laggy, battery life drained by camera

This is an awesome phone! I had trouble with it freezing for about a month but I took it to best buy and they fixed it 5-10 minutes. Since then it's not frozen!
This phone is doing exactly wanted it to be doing.

Best phone hands down for a school district and personal use

I work in the electronic security department for a school district in Texas. When asked what phone I needed to preform my daily tasks in keeping my school district up to par I began doing my research. Of all the phones out there the note 4 was top of the list. Once I received the phone I began using it for everything. I'm always on it for everything my school demands. No other phone can assist me in my daily tasks of server work, email, software, and phone calls like a Samsung note. Thank you for helping me make my schools safer with a fast phone that performs as a tablet as well.

Love it... but it could use some help

I love this phone. Size is nice. Big screen, good graphics, loud, lots of personalization options, and great battery life. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the Internet randomly crashes.
