I hadn't even read the Canadian thread when I flashed Dynamic Kat...

Anyways - Nandroid - Factory Reset - Wipe System and Caches - Flash Rom (I'd recommend Dynamic Kat) - Flash this kernel in the same recovery session as flashing the Rom

Do you have full feature in CPU governer and Scheduler with KT kernel? I use to prefer to flash KT but I dont have full feature (i dont have lionheart, unbrella_core, etc) so now as kernel I use AELkernel... pretty good.

is there a root method now for bell note 4?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] x-cimo:
Hi guys,

Just got a Note 4 (tired of waiting for the Nexus 6, what a joke)...

I have a very good plan with Telus, so I decided to get it outright without renewing on a new plan. Then the fun begin, nobody want to sell you a Note 4 outright (tried Telus, BestBuy, Futureshop).

Finally ended up at Costco which gladly did it, but I had to choose between a Rogers and a Bell one (no Telus @ Costco), so I picked a Bell one.

I'm now waiting for an unlock code which should come shortly.

Anyway, to my question. With a Bell phone, on Telus network, will I get OTA update push?

I've tried flashing the Telus Note 4 firmware (http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/37510/N910W8VLU1ANJ3_N910W8OYA1ANJ3_TLS.zip/) it dosen't appear to have changed anything. The 3 Bell application are still there, and no telus app.

You know, this is the first time I've been absolutely stuck with rooting/installing a custom rom.

I still get the bootloop and it fails to flash the kernel. I REALLY want to try Dynamic Kat but I

can't seem to avoid using the stock rom. I am completely rooted and have TWRP.

Should note (get it?) that I have the W8 through Wind Mobile so it's quite obvious this *should*

work without the headaches I'm getting.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nahumf:
Still no update on my Rogers phone. Looks like verizon and AT&T all got the latest note 4 update over there. Has anyone got the latest update on their canadian phone? I'm not talking about ANJ3, cuz that's the one I have.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sadoway:
Try the T-Mobile cm12. Its pretty good.

Canadian carriers might just be skipping anymore updates until Lollipop is ready for our devices, hoping for a January release.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
How do you guys find the camera?

The overall quality *can* be great but my biggest issue (and it appears common to most) is the constant motion blur if anything has the slightest movement in my shots.

This is quite frustrating. If the scene or subject is perfectly still then pictures are usually amazing but the slightest movement and those parts are blurry.

I know the technical reasons behind this and the main one being the slower shutter speed but this is bad.

There are some partial work-a-rounds with manual lower iso, etc but nothing that solves it completely.

How do you all find this and what do you do to combat it?

I'm using the latest Firekat, I was hesitant in rooting this time around but I'm glad I did. It's a solid rom! I'll wait for CM12 to have all the major bugs ironed out before trying that out. I need my phone to function properly with all the benefits of a custom rom and this one does it well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Brava27:
+1 for FireKat! I tried CM12 and it's lovely, unfortunately xposed is not compatible. Broke my heart [emoji174]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gennadiy008:
Be Aware!

I got brand new Note4 from Telus, and I did root it, tripping Knox of course. Now my unit got luged (delayed), not working Home button. Went to Samsung service center - and here we are - Rooted - no warranty anymore!!! Estimated repair - 375$ +tax (motherboard needs to be changed). Kinda sad :(

Verdict: Root means - no more warranty from Samsung. But who needs a non- rooted Samsung!?

Merry Christmas everyone!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] coremark:
Ouch. Wow, expensive. It's like getting another phone. Sorry to hear that. Hope u get it fixed and lasts longer this time around.

Don't fall for that brother. They say that to everyone. Got the same spiel from them with my s5. There are a few things you can do. 1st odin back to stock which should fix it. 2nd Try flashing Firekat v7 over on tmo or 3rd you can try and return it to Telus themselves, they don't usually check for Knox tripping.

So I had a problem with my s5 where messages would get delayed. Brought it to samsung walk in. They said the same thing, mother board, 450$. I was like F that. Did a little research and as it turns out I just had too many messages stored. It's a Samsung bug. Same thing happened with my note 4.

After that snafu I had forsaken samsung phones, until the note 4 that is.

Damn you Samsung! Lol.

Odin back to stock and send it directly to Telus. Rogers didn't notice or complain about my Knoxx being tripped on my technical support swap.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Same here. I can't believe how fast it feels.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gennadiy008:
I got that "phone insurance" from Telus - received brand new Note 4 yesterday by UPS, so I did "back to stock" my faulty device and will sent it back tomorrow. So extra protection plan is highly recommended to those who root, as Samsung is not on our side since Knox is tripped.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
What can you do with the stylus on that Rom?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
So far not a whole lot. You can use apps that support the pen but there is no native support in this ROM. In fact it won't even let you use it. So pretty much the pen is useless at the moment. No idea how hard it would be to add support before we got the official LP release.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
Ya thought so. That's why I stick to TW roms. Any aosp or cm rom takes the extra out of this extraordinary phone. ?

Thanks for sharing.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Yes, if someone uses the pen daily and are dependent on it then this isn't for them. I just like the speed and how fluid everything is. I love how snappy the multitasking is. To me its worth giving up the pen for a little bit. For now.

CSC Won't change?

I recently flashed to firekat v7 and tried to change my csc from bell to rogers by doing *#272*IMEI# but everytime after the factory reset my csc is still with bell.

Anybody know why i can't switch my csc to rogers?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
That happened to me too with my s5. Try doing a factory reset first and then change the csc. If that doesn't work, odin to stock first, change csc and flash Firekat.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] salvador3:
Thank mrnovanova....after I odin to stock do I root it first then change csc or can I change csc right away?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] salvador3:
Ok so I was able to change to rogers csc when on stock but the moment I switched to firekat it switched back to bell and I couldn't change it back to rogers :/

I think the issue might be because I have TWRP installed as recovery. I was thinking that while on firekat, I can install stock recovery then try to change the csc again. Problem is whenever I try to odin the stock recovery file RECV-N910W8VLU1ANJ3_N910W8OYA1ANJ3.tar.md5 (from http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/ref-stock-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2920452) I get the error message in ODIN:

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> MD5 hash value is invalid

That's very strange. I'm running fido on a Telus phone. I changed the csc code when I first rooted it and it never went back. I'm using Firekat myself.

Are Canadian Note 4's due for an OTA update that other markets have received ? (other than lollipop)

I find that Canadian Note 4's do not get spinning notification on LED Flip cover but other non-canadian note 4's do based on the comments and reviews I have seen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
You're right most if not all other variants have had other updates since j3. It appears that we the w8 variant are only to get updated to 5.0.1.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
I'm thinking that the Canadian variant will also be updated to 5.0.2 - Once the Carriers have had their fun.

If I root, can I update the firmware so that the LED Flip Wallet will work properly ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
If you root you still won't be able to update firmware as it is device specific but you could give other roms based on updated firmwares a try.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
I haven't tried but i wouldn't recommend it as I think (but might be wrong) that it could cause issues with your phone (or worse, some sort of brick)... Maybe someone else can provide more insight though... Until then don't take a chance.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @Class:
I've learned my lesson. Never buy something immediately again. Give it a month or two. You'll save about 25-40% off of retail and figure out of the problems with the product are severe enough to warrant a skip.

Stick to stock baseband on our N910W8, do NOT flash ANK4, etc as they are made for t-mobile phones. Brick hazard!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbzgod:
My understanding is that 5.0.2 is a Nexus specific release made to fix some problems they had so I don't know if we're getting that, but for sure we are getting 5.0.1 sometime in February (not yet confirmed from carriers)

Supposedly it's to be end of January for Canadian S5 to get Lollipop then Note 3 & 4 after in February.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Fair enough.

When I needed it (lol never turn on secure boot in settings and expect to boot with twrp ?), back in December, there were couple of complaints in your thread (27.11. and 22.12.), but now I can see how it could have easily been missed in force70 custom kernel support chatter.

And I'll be honest, I only recognised them as such in hindsight, because my downloads were corrupted, otherwise I wouldn't have known either.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbzgod:
Firmware updates just went live for all Canadian carrier Galaxy Note 4's currently downloading and installing to see the changes, it is a January build OA1.

Update:

Was a little excited seeing a January firmware get pushed out, figured it wouldn't be lollipop but had to quickly get it and see anyways hahaha.

It is just a newer build of 4.4.4 , I haven't tested much yet, but so far the phone is snappier and faster then before hand, the recent app button is instant for me (had some minor lag before)

Noticed that my phone is now getting an IPV6 & V4 address from my router, it did not before hand.

I also noticed that updating to this firmware has reset the flash counter status. Knox is still tripped 0x1, but the regular counter has been set back to Samsung official and system status Official O.o

However once I reroot my device that will go back to custom, curious why it did that though.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
I guess we can forget about lollipop anytime soon. Smh...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] greatg:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] greatg:
Okay, I used Kies and update. I have lost root. Do I just follow the original process as outlined by Chainfire and download the files he recommended? Or do I need to download a newer version of SM-N910W8 (Canadia, Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-trltecan-trltecan-smn910w8.zip

Yes I did OTA. The lag only happens on TouchWiz. I had to switch to Google now launcher.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
I would personally try a clean install through Odin, but that might be a hassle if you don't have things backed up.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] malek777:
I wiped cache partition and cleared TouchWiz data and everything seems smooth so far after the reboot. If the problem arises again I'm just gonna do a hard reset and see what happens.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Cryingmoose:
I was expecting an odin flash of the update to wipe everything, but it only killed root and twrp, plus installed all the bloat back.

Flashed auto root and was back to normal. Seems a bit snappier so far.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Odin flashes don't erase most things. Data, installed apps and music are just a few that usually won't be removed. That's why it is usually important to wipe first then Odin.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] nacos:
If you're living in Canada I would strongly recommend buying a Canadian version. Any version should be working with Wind - if you know how to unlock the AWS band ;)

This guide is for the Galaxy S4 but it should also be working on the Note 4 without any problems.

UPDATE: Apparently, gaganmohal is right! You don't have to unlock the AWS band. I bought mine from Bell, using it with Virgin and here is the proof that it should be working with Wind right out of the box! (see the attached screenshot)
