I am not aware of any froyo ROM for Note 4. U can't just install "any" ROM it has to be designed for Note 4.

via sammobile.com if there is any.

Try Re-downloading the ROM. May be your phone is locked somehow.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TorrentzRock:
Hi Everyone! I am not a NOOB to Android or rooting / flashing / fastboot / adb etc. I am however, somewhat of a NOOB in the Samsung world. You see, I have been having "relationship issues" with HTC thanks to the lackluster performance provided by the M9. It was my third HTC device M7, M8, and now M9. I am "breaking up" with HTC after only having the M9 since March. Both my wife and I have TMOUS Note 4's on the way and they should be here Tuesday. I am doing some homework, browsing roms, etc, as the first thing I will do with mine is root and install a custom rom. My questions are general. Are there any things I should absolutely avoid? Are Firmware and ROM two separate things as is the case with HTC? What about Kernel and Modem/Radio? What is the safest, most reliable root method? Of the ROM's I have been browsing, Simple Rom looks to be quite nice - is it? Recommendations are welcome. Pointers, tips, tricks? I prefer to keep things pretty close to stock but have the ability to fine tune the little things the way I like. I REALLY love Xposed framework. Any custom Kernel recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys. I updated to official Lollipop (had the update already downloaded and today a friend accidentally clicked install instead of the home button when the pop up appeared to notify me). I noticed a somewhat strange behaviour - i have the touch keys light turned off but when the phone is locked and i press the unlock button, they briefly light up. Not at normal brightness but visible. Is this normal? Does anyone else phone behave like this?

I hope the battery life is good as on KK (i was getting ~6h30 SoT on average ) otherwise i would need to find a way to downgrade. The interface is nicer though and the phone is faster.

Android 5 made from my 910F useless brick. It was overheating like hell and then throttling - lower performance. Shorter battery life. Interface is nice, but there are not many inovations which you couldn't sacrifice.

Need help flashing ROM

hello sir,

I have samsung galaxy note 4 china mobile version n9108v and it's unlocked so i can use any sim from any carrier i want.

my question is can i flash n910f stock rom into n9108v since the hardware is the same, reason is to get ota updates and keeping gapps and all other apps because chinese version has no youtube or gapps and it's banned, so i thought about flashing n910f international snapdragon stock android into n9108v, what do you think?

Thanks in advance...

Youre note 4 will most likely be on kitkat, but you can always update since xposed is working with 5.0.1 . the roms you will have to see what really interested you. i asked about this but what the community tells me is try if you like it keep it if you don't flash another rom. theres root methods by amazing developers. you just need to search. before flashing anything always make a nandroid. and always read before flashing.

Hi guys, long time reader here. I got a little question why my battery life of my Note 4 is so terrible. I'm running everything stock and I have also done a factory reset and cleared cache as my last resort of trying to fix it. I'm running official Lollipop 5.0.1 . My Note 4 doesn't even last a day with my low-medium usage. Also my brightness is usually quite low. Nothing seems to help, as I have ran out of ideas trying to fix it. I have included the screenshots of my battery stats.

Thanks in advance [emoji4]

Your SoT time is absolutely OK... some ppl even reported no more then 3 hours on Lollipop. U should also ho to "data usage" (not sure how exactly it is called in English there) and manually block connection to everything that does not need connecting ;)

Help with xposed for lollipop on note 4

Hi

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask this. If not could somebody point me in the right direction?

I got a new note 4 recently model sm-n910f with snapdragon 805 processor.

I have rooted the device and wanted to get the xposed framework.

I updated to lollipop 5.0 before looking for the xposed modules and it seems it is only available for note 4 variants using ARMv7 or later.

Is there any way to get xposed modules and framework on my device or do I have a long wait ahead of me?

Doesn't seem to be much point having rooted the phone without having the xposed framework.

I don't want to install custom roms as the stock rom is pretty amazing.

I just wanted to customise it slightly with advanced power menu, screen record and call record functions etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

yes, I thought as much, but does the price reflect the quality?

I mean, the price I have to pay for note 4 is about 8 times the price I have to pay for htc 820...

Also, what is the expected lifetime of the screen? I know that amoled degrades over time
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
Note 4 is not the first phone with OLED display if it didn't work they wouldn't sell it. If you want phone that has everything that phone can offer then go with note4. If you don't need powerful components then go with the other one. Every phone will last you 3 years if it lasts more then it is just a bonus this way business works and you have to accept it. Go for parameters, battery life and look. Everything else is not important. ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skerry2006aj:

I should try to stop reading and try to focus on the fact that I change phones on a 7 month cycles, so I am probably better off with htc 820 for the next short time.

Hi,

I found the real cause of my problem, which was the missing of the hand when hovering a link. It was a bug of an app called Omni Swipe. I explain. When we activate Omni Swipe on the services from Settings/Accessibility, the hand just disappears! So we must use this app without activate its service yet. I have already sent a message to the developpers.

If you are referring to the function where you can take a photo that contains text and make the text editable, then you can find that either in the S Note app (create a new note, then click the camera button in the tool row on top) or via one of the S Note widgets (same camera button available here).

Hi

When looking at a Note 4 review video I remember seeing the reviewer writing with the s-pen. I can't remember what app he wrote in, but the only 3rd-party app I remember him talking about was EverNote. So it was probably either some bundled Samsung app, or Evernote. Anyway, the thing is that whatever he wrote was automatically recognized and transformed to text. I think it was automatically, whenever he paused in his writing. But it can also have been when he saved his work.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? What app can do this? And how do you do it in that app? I'm not talking about the Samsung handwriting keyboard.

The update that came out like right when the Note 4 launched...anyone know which carriers that was for? Should US Cellular be getting it? Do we even need it?

I have a problem i have had with my phone since lolipop came out. My waketime is on 100% of the time. I have formated my phone twice already and both times it worked for 2 days. Second time i did it i kept it clean from other apps just the normal apps my phone comes with and it still went up to 100% after like 2 days. I never had this problem with kitkat and i noticed for like a month ago a thing. I was on my way home from work and my phone ran out of battery completly "it was on for maybe 9 hours with onscreen for 2h." so it was without battery for maybe 15min. CAme home recharged it and next morning i noticed that my waketime wasnt 100% anymore. 2 days later it was back to 100% again, restarting my phone doesnt work the only thing that works is if i take out the battery for 20 sec and plug it in again. Im starting to wondering if it might be a bugg with the new feature in lolipop that the phone remembers what you were doing on it before you restarted it beacuse everytime i restart it its like i never turned it off unless i pull the battery out meanwhile. I also get really bad microphone sound at the same time wake time is 100%. like it rather picks up car sounds etc around me instead of my voice "dont know if it is a bigger issue for me beacuse i got quite a deep voice" and if i unplugg the battery my phone picks up my voice again good.

Do anyone know what might be the problem? i have stock lolipop "swedish version with tele2 as phonecompany." and it is not rooted "i rather dont want to root it at this point if it is something wrong with my phone so i still have the warranty ." do anyone have any suggestion what it might be ?

this is an example of how it can look like. but this was at its worst it became abit better after i got a new battery from samsung so now i can atleast survive a days work as long as i dont use screen more than 3 hours and music for myabe 1-2 hours. unless u take out the battery, if i do that i can keep it running for like 2 days with normal usage . " 3h on screen and 1-2 hours of music is not normal i usually use it more."

How to downgrade you ask? Read my older posts the answer is.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatness:
I read different threads on this forum trying to find something but nothing that worked for other people worked for me. later i read back to page 76 that is 4 pages back and i only saw 1 guy talk about bad battery but people sad his was quite decent and he didnt exacly give alot of info about his problem. Maybe you should look back yourself about what have been written before you start throwing out stuff like that? And you said once it was bad and people should switch to kitkat. but ofc i read to page 76 not 74 as you wanted me to, but i did it now and those 2 last pages wouldnt of helped me at all really. If you feel that annoyed on questions like mine maybe you shouldnt answer and just ignore them? I have tried to google my problem for hours on hours and found nothing that have done what ive done and found a solution, everyone found a solution that i tried and nothing have worked for me. I know how to downgrade to kitkat i just dont feel like fix everything on my phone again plus i did not exacly like kitkat much, i have much better performance with lolipoop.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stingrey123:
I have been searching for the answer not a long time ago. Google knows and shares a lot of its wisdom. If you would open note 4 thread here on XDA you would find a lot of info about battery and everything around it. Like that the battery is worse on L. I admit that i don't keep a record about number of pages and it might have grown more then just a few pages since I have been solving my own problems. Yet, if you ever used the search button for "battery" you would find it. L is just known for weird behaviour and although I like it more as you do, except for design and few minor differences it is the same OS.
