[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
I would suggest all LP enthusiasts take a look at the Note 3 India thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59311951&postcount=3935

I had a Note 3 a few days back and used LP5 for a few days. Well, though the OS is smooth, it's a battery hog. The phone also warms up more than it did on KK 442.

And remember, if you flood Samsung's support email box, they will just have it taken care of by their corporate spam filter. And when u really need support you wont be able to get thru to them. I would advise caution. Don't get carried away.

:D:D:D:D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] maksharma231:
Dude, we are not spamming the mailbox. One mail from each of us would be like 5-6 mails in their inbox. Surely, they can handle that without their corporate spam filters.

And about the battery and stuff, it doesn't matter much to me considering i always have >30% juice left when i get back home from office. Surely lollipop wouldn't be more than 30% a hog :D

And with quick charge I don't think it would really be an issue for most.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
I was going to say this. Quite a few of these folks are paid well by local standards and will not take risks
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
that guy is a waste of time, he is the guy who replied to me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
And you think they are going to get pressured to release LP5 all because of 5-6 mails to their Support team? :)) Dude, nothing, I repeat, nothing we customers say will make them release LP5 any faster. The only thing to do is to avoid buying Samsung handsets. Let the wallet speak. It's the language all corporates understand.

I would like to see what happens on this thread when LP for the N4 is finally released :) There are guys on the N3 thread who want to go back to KK 442. :)

Absolutely.

They risk their jobs. So, they will NOT give information that they're not authorised to pass to customers.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] maksharma231:
Absolutely right bro. But the fact remains...some samsung devices are amazing..note 4 is one of them :p i have no plans to switch until note 5/6 :)

and yeah i hope we get 5.0.2 otherwise this thread will turn into a complaint forum for samsung when it actually would be google's fault :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] RISHI RAJ:
I also have a Note 3 & believe me its super fast & smooth.Even S pen has improved.I haven't faced any battery or warming issue.Ive disabled almost all apps that can be disabled
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Got a reply from Samsung about update. Also got a call this morning regarding the same. But still no solid answer on when we are going to get the update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Now that's a perfect copy/paste reply from the support person.

Seriously guys, contacting them is a waste of time
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Yaa seriously. That guys called me and said Note 3 got update coz the customers will feel left out but what about Note 4. We are feeling left out even more than Note 3. WTF.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Absolutely. Now you guys won't like to hear this but let me tell u they'll release it only when they want to.

Till then I am taking a big chill pill and to hell with that LP update.

?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] maksharma231:
That part is true!...unfortunately for us.

But could you gimme a link where I can buy the chill pill, I seem to have run out of those. Amazon link would be of great help :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
lol hahaha! ? the elusive pill is obtained by using will power not a credit card.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kannanX10:
i had a chance to try note edge v my note 4.............but decided to keep note 4

here r my impressions

--screen on the note edge seems to have slightly more contrast than N4 but note 4 does have better brightness

--TW on N4 seems to be smoother than edge,edge does stutters on app menu as well as on settings

--edge screens does helps in someway(can be used for Multitasking) but it mainly does the same thing what notification bar does and the phone doesn't feel comfortable to hold especially on call........

--battery on n4 is definitely better

--vibration on edge seems to be odd and its heavy when compared to N4 even on lowest vibration intensity(as edge seems to use diff vib motor than N4)

--my edge camera seems to have sensor(H/W) issue as all images are blurred on right side typical sony sensor issue and quality standard by samsung for their so called premium device is simply not acceptable

--RAM usage on edge is higher when compared to N4

everything else seems to be the same........IMHO its better to have N4 rather than edge,can save 10k and definitely not worth the price tag edge is having
[Galaxy Note 4 General] maksharma231:
Looking forward to obtaining that superpower then :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] guitarmafia:
Sheesh.. Ppl here are like, note 4 doesn't have lp so i am gonna stop using it altogether, stop buying samsung products, buy nexus only next time, start spamming samsung cs.. Yikes!!

Calm down guys. Your phone dint stop working just because you dint get the update yet. And how is any other device that got the update any better than your note 4.nexus 6 released with 5.0 and it was still inferior to note 4 and it is still inferior now. I mean i get it that we as indians,are born whiners but c'mon. If you want the looks of lp just download some launcher for now to keep it cool. If it is just about custom roms then you should be able to control yourself as you usually do with roms. Like waiting for the next cm nightly.

This person is talking sense guys... A ban seems to be in order... :P
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
:laugh: LOL! Seriously man...I really don't know why people get so worked up over this silly update.

+1

I've gone from JB to KK to LP on my Note 3 over 15-16 months and it was no big deal. I need my phone to work without software bugs, network hassles and remain stable thru the day. In the end that's all I care about. BTW, the skin on the Note 4 is pretty much what the Note 3 LP update looks like. In fact I had to recheck the 'About' menu to verify it was KK or LP when I started it up for the 1st time.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] guitarmafia:
Yup and the skin on the lp for note 4 ll have just minor changes.. I think they ll keep the newest skin exclusive for s6 for some time at least.. Dialer app, messaging app etc ll look a little different along with some other minor changes.. Thats all. If by some miracle samsung did gave us some features of the newest ui of s6 then i think the wait ll be even more worth it.

Sent from my SM-N910G
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nishant786:
Actually I can empathise with both sides.

FOR UPDATE

1. When you pay 60K for a phone you expect that an update which has launched along with your phone will come soon enough. Its a reasonable expectation that's create dby watching much inferior and older phones getting the update and you not.

2. IF properly implemented the lollipop update will get much better performance, glance notifications, much better camera and ofcourse the much needed bettter UI etc.

AGAINST

1. IF not properly updated and hurried, as is seen in many of the phones including googles own, itl screw up the phone really bad.

2. New features such as glance screen and camera api if not implemented at all will lead to disappointment.

So best. Enjoy the mature KitKat and hope that when Samsung launches Lollipop its actually tasty. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Amen to that.

When I pay 50-60K for a phone I expect the software and hardware to work in unison near perfectly. Being pretty experienced in the software engineering field myself I understand there will be the odd issue that will creep into live deployment. But under no circumstances should those issues make the phone behave in an unusual manner. However it's interesting that LP 5.0 was a bit buggy out of the gate and Google had to release 501 and 502 to take care of those issues, while Samsung is still stuck with 500 at least with the Note 3.

I had an immensely frustrating experience with my 1st Note 3 handset which rebooted randomly at odd times even when on calls. It was probably a hardware issue. The point is I don't care how "gee whiz! the LP update may be because stability (and responsiveness) is what I value more over a new OS version, at least as of now. Let Samsung take a little extra time to iron out any wrinkles because believe me we'll all be much, much, more frustrated with a buggy LP5 release.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
Guys, just try cm12 until we get lollipop, have to say the cm12 is superb and we have nightlies too. This way you can figure out the actual difference between stock lollipop and tw lollipop [emoji14]

Texted from Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Yep. I am on CM12. BTW what's your view on camera quality. I find it a bit less than what we get in stock.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
havent checked much on quality , its decent enough. One good thing is that it dosent oversharpens the images as done in tw.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Well well 5.1 is here and we are still mourning about 5.0.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
ill eat snacks until the meal is ready :D , waiting for 5.1 source to be pushed into aosp , we will have it few days on cm12 :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pratik_193:
CM is no doubt very good , light, stable. But for some reason i never liked CM based ROM's. With all the GUI of TW ROM's CM seems a bit old fashioned.

this is my view & should not hurt anyone's sentiments.

Guys there's a new TPU cover by Nillkin for Note 4. Do check it out. It is the thinnest (just 0.6mm) TPU yet and also has flaps to protect USB and headphone jack from dust. Go with White (clear) one if you have white version. It is just great. I received it now and it feels great in hand.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] pratik_193:
I had the same case with me, used it for 10 days it scratched the aluminium edges. I returned it..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] badelemental:
Well previously I used Spigen and Ringke. Spigen one also scratched the aluminium edges. The problem is the material (aluminium) used in Note 4 is not that of high quality as per some reviews on the internet. Well in short it is gonna scratch no matter what. I clean the device every week and still I got the scratches. So I decided not to care about that anymore.

Samsung's Lollipop 5.0 - La La Land!

Those yelling about not getting a Lollipop from Samsung - read the Note 3 thread. More want to revert to KK 442.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2438431

If one is really anxious about using LP and not bothered about the warranty he could try CM 12 ROMs. I found CM nightly builds them buggy on my Note 2 and avoid them thereafter.

I really hope Samsung releases 501 or 502 for the Note 4. Otherwise I'll probably avoid the LP5 update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
yes , i for one like tw than stock, cm12 theme engine is saving the nakedness of stock android though ;)

hi, just follow the thread [MENTION=608719]badal[/MENTION]emental posted :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Lollipop 5.1 is released

Google started rolling out 5.1 from Monday 9th March evening onwards. It would correspond to yesterday Tuesday 10/3 in India . My Nexus devices haven't got any updates yet.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2478044,00.asp

Hope this what Samsung is going to roll out to the N4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
The 5.1 images are posted at the usual place. Grab them and just flash them by yourself. I hate waiting for OTA's from google.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Yeah, they take their own sweet time. But frankly I don't mind waiting. You need to unlock the boot loader which wipes the phone. Backing up data and restoring is a pain with the Nexus range.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
True.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Just checked. They have the factory image for the Nexus 5 but not the Nexus 7 Wi-Fi/LTE. Anyways, will be waiting for that OTA. Too lazy to unlock/wipe/flash/restore :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nishant786:
Guys I had a question for seasoned Note users like Dr.Ketan. I love the themes feature and some ui refinements of the s6. Historically how long, if ever, does it take for ui features from the s series to come in an official update form to the Note series? Eg. S5->note 3, s4->note 2 etc?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
Till we don't get S6 firmware we can't do anything.

Regarding porting features, it varies how samsung have implemented and how much resources available on other devices.

e.g.

Toolbox and sidekey on lollipop - took few hrs.

UPSM on lollipop took few days

and UPSM on Kitkat - never happened.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nishant786:
No because I have been going through some threads, and it appears that the theme feature is already present in the new update, it only needs to be enabled through root. So basically it means Samsung is deliberately withholding features, do they usually do this with their note series which are their flagships? I'm not talking about porting, I'm saying Samsung giving officially new features from new S devices to older Note devices released a few months back.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
I have no reason to believe Samsung give this feature built in to new update on old (previous) device by looking to past history of Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nishant786:
Thats just stupid and mean. Forget the fact that we deserve the fetaure because, hell, we paid more than even the s6! Its also stupid because the developers who make themes would earn more if posted to other devices. Samsung, tsk tsk.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Once again curiosity got the better of the geek in me and I resorted to manually flashing 5.1 on my Nexus 5. After some hitches related to "cannot find system.img" i.e. some Android SDK related issues, I managed to flash the entire ROM img by img. It's booting up as I type this. Will report if there's any strange behaviour.

Hello friends, Yesterday I installed one indian gujarati newspaper app called Divya bhaskar in my mobile, I am residing outside india & i noticed one sms gone to unknown india number ( +919229201909) without my knowledge, msg Content is (DvB xxxxxxxx) xxxx is my imei number, i uninstall divya bhaskar app & also add this number in rejected list, I m worried why they have taken my mobile's imei number, please help me what should I do next to safe guard my mobile data.

Thanks & appreciate your support
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
I'd complain to the author of the app via the play store. Let others be aware too. Remember to read the privacy policy after you install the app and review the data access permissions
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jdomadia:
Thank you very much for your quick reply, now they have my imei number they can harm me in any manner?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Sharp-Razr:
Not really. But there are people who use existing IMEI numbers and clone them onto other handsets. Which is why some low cost Chinese handsets were banned by the Govt. Be careful about what you download.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] :
New Nova Launcher UI
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.ketan:
Only with IMEI number much much difficult (nearly not possible on newer device) to use that IMEI number on other device unless you have share complete efs backup

So nothing much to worry. But again it doesn't mean any app to collect IMEI without reason and there is no valid reason to collect IMEI for a newspaper application. Probably they doing to collect information about how many device using this. Or may be some subscription service may have linked to IMEI (on basis of per device)

If you know on symbian licence was distributed on basis of IMEI only now on Android it's changed and it's now on basis of email (Gmail) account. Later one is good as you need not to purchase license with every new device but needs only if you want to use with other Gmail account.
