When I first updated to Lollipop I only had about 60% battery life left and I noticed right away there seemed to be a battery drain. However something to note is that when going from one version of Android to another that is a major release the stats in a way are messed up and mixed.

In my case almost half the battery was gone from KitKat then it updates to Lollipop so there's bound to be wrong battery information I would imagine.

Anyways I drained the phone down to 1% where it shuts itself off and then charged it to full (no fast charging). Ever since battery life has been good and havn't seen any excessive draining unless I start watching videos. I watched about 1.5 hrs of youtube and that took about 15% away during that time.

You mind telling us a little bit about your set-up? Anything disabled? Wi-Fi on? I see you use fast charging, some people have said they get better battery when fast charging is off.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Sorry I forgot the detailed battery screen.. I will do that now.. Used up the full charge..

I ALWAYS leave WiFi AND cell radio on 24/7..i suppose I could shut down my WiFi at times but haven't needed to.

Both my Notes are 910W8's. Usually 4.4.4 kk (FK v11) on my main.. This other one (currently testing) the stock Rogers LP 5.0.1..

Average heavier use day is 18hrs with 7-8 sot and some days 10-11hrs sot.

Really not much done.. Main devices rooted but no real hardware tweaks.. 800 min 2.6 max for cpu.. Usually interactive gov. I (believe it or not) seldom ever use Greenify. Rare cases on certain builds/setups where there are known culprits that need to be dealt with.

I do use Bluetooth a lot, 40-50% of day at least but mostly just on headset awaiting calls.. 2-4hrs everyday at least of video stream and audio/music streaming. Gps not too much.. Maybe couple times a day for 10 mins each.

Brightness usually 40-75% for half the day/charge.. Occasionally full for short spurts when needed.. And typically low at night time in the dark..

Not really any apps to do any kind of battery saving.. Just watch for culprits and deal with them if needed..

That's about it I guess
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Here are the screenies from after full discharge.. As expected I didn't get double the use that I had at 50% but still damn amazing.. Just over 12hrs sot!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Guy in battery thread wanted more app and use specifics so here is the paste

*****

I'm hardly on Facebook and don't have it on my rooted phones typically or I freeze it.. But on stock and on the other Note (currently LP) it's there.. Surprisingly hasn't done any cpu/battery damage.

Dropbox.. Not anymore.. I use Google Drive and I-drive but solely for backup. I don't like relying on cloud.. Hence my preference for ext SD and my multiple 64/128gb cards..

Google music is my go to for music streaming.. MX player for video (some VLC too).

Nova Prime for launcher (only way to go imo)

Tapatalk for most of my Forums.. Still currently Chrome for my browser although slowly being convinced on stock..

Screebl for display keep on/shutoff (have used for years and swear by it.. Want phone to ALWAYS stay on when I'm using it whether I'm touching it or not but to shut off within 15 seconds when not

System Tuner PRO to monitor hardware and tweak if wanted.

Autostart to control what loads (and what does doesnt) on boot

And lastly Night Mode... I know this helps a lot for my overall screen time when I'm using my phone at night in a dark room.

Usually a couple hours at night in pitch dark room, even the stock minimum is too bright (bugs the wife too) .. So I use that app (an overlay) that allows me to go darker. Heck if I did a full day in the dark and was able to run that the whole time I guarantee I'd get 15+hrs sot lol

Use camera everyday (10mins to half hour)

Bluetooth everyday (headset and speaker)

Some gaming (if kids want to)

That's about it for the most part.

Ftr: my typical heavy day is 17hrs (24 if left uncharged until morning. 7-8 hours SOT. 10-11 sot is not normal and only some long days with primarily browsing, Forums, texts, documents, etc
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kojobaafi:
Awesome thanks for the info, will come in handy as I play around with my settings.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
That is amazing! So I guess the rom takes time to optimize on the device. I didnt use my phone hardcore this weekend and I ended up having 1d and 2 hrs on my battery with still 33% left! My battery tends to drain faster at work because my phone loses signal at times and my data jumps from lte to hspa a lot. I am thinking thats the culprit. Even in that case I am getting about 18-20 hrs with moderate use.

Rogers lied again. Their update page said 5.0.2. I had someone at Rogers say that 5.0.2 (in a response on Facebook) was still due out in April. Now, their page states the Note 4 was updated to 5.0.1 and the reference to 5.0.2 has been removed from the OS upgrade page.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
No surprise there at all! It was likely there was almost no chance at 5.0.2 when everyone else was releasing 5.0.1..I didn't hold my breathe and now this makes more sense.. Too bad but was expected..

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

Well all builds, roms, etc take time to "settle" so to speak.. I haven't done too much on it yet and I have a feeling that was a very good day but it does appear to be fairly good on battery with this Note.

As for cell and higher drain, yes, that is one of the biggest culprits if your signal is weak or changing states all the time..it will drain it quick.. I'm typically high LTE all day but days I'm somewhere else and it's low, battery suffers a lot
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
Yes, I think it's the culprit. I mean changing from LTE to H+ and my signal goes from 1 bar to full bars constantly. Either way that happens only during work hours (8 hrs/day) and so my battery still lasts about 20 hrs. I remember when I had an iphone it only lasted 7 hours so I shouldnt be complaining hahaha
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dsac:
All Canadian telco's use the same ROM. Rogers was likely testing 5.0.2, but the others pushed 5.0.1 and so Rogers had to go back and verify 5.0.1 - the reason for the delayed rollout on RWC devices.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
Then they lied to me again because they said they didn't get 5.0.2, only 5.0.1.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pappcam:
I'm almost 100% certain that Rogers didn't or doesn't have 5.02. They would have the same firmware as all other Canadian carriers. It just took extra time to test all the bloatware/crapware that Rogers likes to use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Well - Telus, Bell and the gang rolled out the 5.1 OTA for the S4 - But not Rogers... I know it's a different device - But Rogers.... REALLY??

And - Yes - Rogers does lie - Even on Twitter...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] equlizer:
K well let's continue bashing rogers the rest of the thread:eek: Can we get back on track?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
Ok Dad, what's the track? And are you the one who decides? Wow. 750 posts and he runs the place.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
We all get to decide collectively! :)

General comment: Let's all try to be a little more respectful to each other... If large threads like FireKat and Dynamic Kat can do it, then I'm sure us "polite" Canadians can do the same ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
This is the Canadian Note 4 thread correct? Rogers is a Canadian carrier that carries and updates the Note 4 correct?

How is talking about their updates for the Note 4 in this thread, not on track?

If companies flat out lie they should be called out. I don't see an issue with talking about what Rogers said and what Rogers did regarding the Note 4 in this thread whatsoever, so thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
I think the guy's point was just that he was tired of hearing all the complaining lol. Everybody just relax
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
I am relaxed. We don't need anyone other than moderators telling us what we can and can't post was my point. The discussion was very relevant.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
Point made. The discussion was indeed relevant but feels like "beating a dead horse" at this point to me :). Anyways, that's my opinion. Carry on as needed :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
So now let's talk about when we'll see 5.0.2...lol. Yeah, never mind. Does anyone think that Canadian carriers will released 5.1 for the Note 4? Maybe next year?

Nice work my friend [emoji1]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pringled:
When I try to flash the fix it just makes twrp restart. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? Thanks in advance!

edit: working now! Thanks for the awesome fix!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mocsab:
I tried the file you offered to fix data when flashing International Roms - and after flashing alliance rom - I am having a problem with playstore - despite showing that it is installed - when I try to go to playstore - it says ap is not installed. when I try to install aps I have stored on my SD Card, they fail to install - I can't access the build prop to try change anything there because I don't have an ap instlaled that will allow me to do that - any suggestions on how to get playstore working?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pringled:
I had a similar problem with Alliance ROM, only in my case the updates failed because of an unknown error. I flashed echoe pop v4 after and play store works perfectly there so I don't know what's going on with that. Still, awesome fix!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gaganmohal:
Play store worked fine for me when i was running alliance rom but i had an error saying "Internal storage running low" somethimg like that, even thought i had 22GB free space. It happened only on alliance rom. Everyother rom worked fine.

I am not a developer so i have no idea whats going on with alliance rom but i will try to find out what is causing the issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pringled:
I had the low internal storage notice too. the error turned out to be about insufficient internal memory to download so the two are tied together. All of the other roms I tried worked great though, thanks for the awesome fix!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
You can always download an apk from a google search and install it..dont need the playstore.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] turilo:
The errors that may be happening are possibly due to csc or something needed adjusted in the build.prop of the fix
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gaganmohal:
What i was wondering is why we getting error only on alliance rom?

If you can help us further that would be great.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martinomac:
This is brilliant, thanks so much for sharing this! It worked like a charm on Echo Pop v5 and AEL kernel v12. Just wondering what sort of signal/data fix was applied and if it hinders the ROM's built in setup?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gaganmohal:
I was working on that fix since lollipop for candian came out. After lots of trial and error finally it worked. I myself dont know what magic i did. That zip has bunch of files from canadian stock lolllipop and CSC from t mobile.

AFAIK it should work on all builts.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pringled:
Even apks wouldn't install. I guess it's kind of a moot point since the n910t/n910w8 port is out now.

Is there a way to lower bluetooth volume? It sounds like its maxed but its at the lowest settings. :(

If anyone is interested - CM12.1 Nightlies have started

[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
I'm done with CM but hope the issues you *will* encounter will be minimal.. Good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
That's your decision - But each to their own... 5.1 is Very New - And as always with new AOSP Roms there will always be issues - But those issues are being worked on very aggressively.

You *will* also encounter issues with Stock TW Roms - Which is why Google has gone from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.02 to 5.1 AND 5.1.1 is not far off - Why would Google do this... To correct issues!

It's the very same process with AOSP Roms ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
hey I fully agree and make that statement practically everyday in here...." to each their own". Very true here too

I just have grown tired of CM and there is always some featues or even hardware that won't work when using cm...but I hope for the best and encourage more development
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Nice. I'm still trying to get Dual Boot to work on TW so I can use both.

Ohhh I missed that. Note 2 had that. Any info on how?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
Have any of you tried Alliance ROM with 5.0.1? If so what do you think?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
I think the amount of customizing avail is amazing...

Tapatalk signature: As a great moderator once said " This is a developers forum not a help site. There are no babies here that need to be spoon fed"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
Thanks! Would you prefer that custom ROM over the stock lollipop 5.01 rom?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
How did you get dual boot to work on TW?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Anything is better than stock but the amount of items you can tinker with on alliance is almost endless...the stock rom you cant do much.

I stayed stock when i got my device for about half a day...when i odin LP that lasted for about as long as it took for a custom rom to become available for it.

Simply put stock sucks lol.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
The only thing I would differ from you is that even with alliance, I always go back to original kernel whenever I can, and in this case I can☺. Mainly because it allows 'bring from tv' mirroring function to work with Samsung smartview app. Any tinkering breaks this.

Also, only Canadian based roms give us name display, samsung broke this on international and American roms back on sgs3 and it seems only Canada has the function anyways (other than google business based sollution, which is different implementation on nexus. They broke the standard with introduction of their system with kitkat).

So alliance rom, based on Canadian, is a godsend. ?

And I can't believe that after all this time, they still don't have clock on the left option. ?

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
Thank you! I am gonna try Alliance and possibly Dynamic POP. See which one is the fastest and has the best battery life :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dingchow:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Papawuu:
anyone able to root 5.0.1?

I used odin to install cf-auto root, superSU is installed, but when I use root checker says it's not installed. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Yep I typically say the same thing but sometimes there are various roms on various devices that just aren't nearly as stable.. That's the only reason I wouldn't say "anything is better" but almost everything is lol..

Yep have to agree. Those are a couple hood examples.. And also *full* s-pen functionality is never completely replicated on custom roms..

But for those that can look past these things then you ditch stock and never look back
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dingchow:
Yup. Project Infinity rom and Cm12.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
Yes, if on stock kernel then Selinux is enforcing, rather than being permissive like on custom kernels. The solution is to open the SuperSu app and go to settings, and change the default from Prompt to Grant, or else use a custom kernel like KT or AEL.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pringled:
Far and away my favourite ROM that I've flashed to any phone to date, with the exception of no multidpi I love literally everything about it. This kind of stuff is subjective, but it's so stable and INSANELY customizable so it hits this sweet spot. I really like using new roms so I've been actively trying to find fault in it to give me an excuse to move to a new one, but it's just the tits all across the board so I can't. I highly recommend it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
And on that note, I had just switched from alliance to dynamic pop.

For all the myriad of customizations, they screwed one of my musts.The name display and log. Being self employed, majority of my calls are not from ones in contacts, I depend on it daily, making it easier to distinguish who called and when, and call people back.

Alliance being primarily geared towards international and USA crowd, don't know and can't appreciate what it means for some of us.

Dynamic at this point has limited theme and customization abilities, but that's a good thing. It took minutes to get it set up, I packaged what I wanted from my earlier setup, with regards to csc, and other xml edits, and flash it in recovery, along with stock Canadian kernel.

I did have a nice dark theme going on alliance (took me a while to set everything, we'll mostly everything), but sadly I couldn't reconciliate it with mess with the contacts (that non working video call button in dialler is another throwback to the fail attempt at charging users for crap).

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
So when flashing either Alliance or Dynamic POP I would have to flash the stock Canadian Kernel? Arent the ROMs based on Canadian stock? How do I get the stock kernel anyways?

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

Does this work on W8?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martinomac:
I'm with you too. I heavily rely on CNAP (calling name presentation) for work as well and its amazing to have it work out of the box on Dynamic Pop. If you like the stock kernel, you should try out ([KERNEL][N910T/W][LOLLIPOP]N4 AEL KERNEL v13.1[MULTIVARIANT]). I leave everything as stock in the kernel settings and its still more responsive and better battery than anything else. Plus its merged with the latest source so you know everything is up to date and fixed as friedrich420 had to fix many Samsung fuk ups.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Oh, I don't have to flash stock kernel. The hacked kernel is also Canadian base and is amazing when wanting to use international base roms without fiddling for fixes.

I choose to because of what I said earlier on previous page. I also use bring from tv mirroring function, so I can continue to watch if I go to a backyard, or to a garage for a smoke(like a home network slingbox, without having one) ... Custom kernels, and sadly this hacked one as well (if there's one I would keep permanently, it would be this, also for dual boot purpose), break this functionality.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martinomac:
I'm not sure about dual booting as I don't use it but screen mirroring is even better on AEL, just saying. A wise and well recognized developer told me "as a rule of thumb: you always want the latest kernel source even if you are not on the latest base.." Eh, I'm all for stock kernel and the modded Canadian one is great and I'm happy to hear it works so well for you, but I'm always looking for ways to push my phone a bit more and squeeze more juice out of it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Screen mirroring works fine from the phone to TV on ael. I know this and it's nice. It does not however work to mirror from Samsung TV to the phone, which is what I use most.

And I realized and can't fix google now with dynamic pop. Time to try TEKHD ?

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martinomac:
Good to know, thanks! Let me know what you think of TEKHD, looks pretty sweet and the dark theme is awesome.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Just a follow up. The rom is as stable and as smooth as the rest for me. Regardless of small visual objections, I like it.

The only small issue is with the name display again. On this rom the name shows just fine when you get a call, the logging portion seems broken (I don't know whether introduction of call recording does this or what). In call log you would see the number only, and below it just say Ontario, Etobicoke,... Etc.. Kinda like nexus line of old, and pre sgs3 samsung international roms used to do.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martinomac:
Thanks for clarifying, much appreciated! A bit of a bummer on the call log issue. The full call log function is essential for me as this is my work phone and I have bad memory :P Which ROM has full functioning call log with names for you?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dingchow:
Yes
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Stock. ?

Kidding. I think I made it work with my Fido csc and build.prop to save the name in the log and not just show it. I don't really know which is responsible. Just deleted my wife's number to test, and it seems to work.

So I guess TEKHD rom is a keeper for now,although I want to try project Infinity as well and maybe go back to dynamic pop if Brian releases next Ok Google fixed version before they all transition to t-mobile base again (they are as annoying with their wifi calling as I am with name display) at which point I'll either stay on one of these, or go back stock. Ideally xposed will work again, but if it does not, I'll live. ?

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] equlizer:
