[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iiigeorgievi:
Hi guys,

I am a NEW guy with all the Samsung family. I am coming from LG and HTC phones. I have several questions regarding the Note 4 and all the help from you will be much appreciated.

1. I will get the SM-N910C - Asia, Europe, South America version of the phone as I live in Bulgaria ( Europe ) . My only desire for now is to root the phone, I dont need custom recovery and custom ROMS kernels etc. I will use this root method http://xdaforums.com/note-4/orig-development/sm-n910-cf-auto-root-t2897428 and I am sure that everything will go as it should. My question here is once my phone is rooted with this method will I be able to receive OTA updates? Of course my main thoughts are for the Lollipop update which is coming. So will I be able to receive this OTA updates once rooted or no ?

2. On my other HTC and LG phones there was an easy way to return back to stock with .KDZ files. So far I've found this method http://theunlockr.com/2014/10/12/how-to-unroot-the-samsung-galaxy-note-4/ but I saw that its only for the Chinese version so will this work on my N910C ?

3. I've found this site http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N910C and in there I can see the firmware files for my future phone. Is it possible to just download the firmware file that I need and flash it with ODIN? Will that reset the phone to factory settings, unroot it and what about the warranty ? Also, any guide for restoring with ODIN will be much appreciated!!!

4. Is rooting on this phone on the showed method will unlock the boot loader ? Or how can I see whether my boot loader is locked or not ?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my "noob" questions but this is an expensive phone and I want to be sure how to proceed with it. Thanks again and Happy Holidays.

Note 4 for Korea then use in US

I am currently stationed in South Korea for the next year, and have a Sprint Note 2 that I have modified with a Verizon GSM circuit board and have "H+" data and voice, but want to upgrade to the Note 4 to get LTE service that I'm paying for.

What version of the Note 4 do you recommend I get. I will likely switch from sprint to another carrier once I get stationed back in the US as I hate that I cant use their CDMA phones when I travel abroad. If I do get a "branded" cell phone which do you suggest and why (more dev for one vs other) or should I stick with the international version of the phone? They all seem to be about the same price, but ill likely have to pay for a service to unlock a branded phone for use here in Korea. Thanks for your responses! - Viperspike

1) no

2) only when u press it

3) not of any use in Linux. Just don't install something funny from unknown sources

4) yes 4g uses more battery than 3g. But even if u don't use 4g and u have a poor signal in your area it will drain battery

I have installed nova launcher and I want to turn on the flash when I use a gesture. What action is it from the list?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
You need nova launcher prime to enable gestures.

Well here is one way . Install flashlight from play store. Then go no nova launcher gestures choose one u like and in shortcuts tab select flashlight. If still it doesnot work you can use tasker. And of course there are many more ways.

If it doesn't work let me know.

How do i turn off Okay Google from any page?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
Because i have no details of ur android device. Here is generic solution that should work on kitkat roms.

Turn off “Ok Google” in Google Experience Launcher

To achieve this, simply tap and hold on any launcher home screen, and then navigate to Settings. Next, hit Voice, and uncheck “Hotword detection”. This will turn off the Ok Google command in both the launcher as well as for Google Now. That’s kind of the only downside; you cannot turn it off for just the Launcher while maintaining functionality in Google Now – it has to be both or none.

Turn off Ok Google in just Google Now

This, you will need only if you don’t have the GEL. Within Google Now, tap the microphone icon from the search bar, and from options, uncheck Hotword Detection. That’s pretty much it. You’ll notice that the microphone icon is ‘hollow’ now rather than having a fill. That’s a visual indicator that Ok Google is turned off. A similar change can be noticed in the Launcher search bar as well, should you have followed the earlier method.

Hey all, would love it if someone could help me out here.

If I flash another firmware over my current stock firmware (going from TNZ -> VNZ) will I get VNZ OTA updates (ie. will flashing the VNZ firmware also change the CSC to VNZ) or will it not get OTA updates?

Googling around I've read that if the CSCs don't match the phone won't get any OTAs but I'm not sure whether flashing the different firmware will overwrite the CSC

Also it won't trip Knox if they're equivalent firmware versions right? I'm completely new to Knox as well.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
Hmmm well theoretically you should get updates as i tried it with some old devices and it worked. You can give it a try. But if you flash any thing i mean any thing with odin you will end up tripping knox to 0x1 warranty void from Samsung. And I don't see any other way to get custom recovery and root on note 4.

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Try FolderMount from play store. Try free version if you like it you can buy the full version which gives you unlimited number of folders to mount...with free version you can mount only one folder at a time...... its a good option for installing and keeping large sized apps and games to sd card.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
So even if I flash the VNZ version of NK5 over the TNZ version through Odin, Knox will still trip? I thought official firmwares wouldn't trip Knox

Sent from my Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hi_blues:
Hmm some one more experienced could tell you for sure if official firmware does trip knox or not. But logically speaking your point of flasing official firmwares does have weight...having said that my experience is:

odin + download mode + flash = knox 0×1 (trip).

Don't take my word to be final lets hope someone tell you otherwise. Will help my knowledge too ☺

Good luck!

Flashing official firmware with Odin will not trip Knox. Rooting will but official firmware should not trip Knox

I'm using Spotify premium too and I too listen to own J-Pop songs. You've to use Desktop Spotify software.

Go to Preferences, Local Files, Add Source and add files to Spotify.

Connect your phone to your PC and run both Spotify, on your PC and phone.

You'll see your phone under Devices in Desktop Spotify.

Just click on your device and "sync with this device"

After that, tick the check box "Local Files"
