To unlock from your carrier? No you need to pay for an unlock code and enter it on your phone to unlock. You can pay/get the code by calling your carrier or by using an online service such as cellunlocker.net. I think mine was about $30 and took a day or two to process. There are other sites that offer the same service, some may be cheaper or quicker but cellunlocker worked for me.

Greetings fellow Canucks! After an unfortunate drop that cracked my Note 3, I've now joined the ranks of the Note 4 users. Glad to have found this thread!

I got mine from Rogers and I'm happy to say they waived over $60 worth of device fees (I wasn't officially eligible for an upgrade till December) and they also matched MTS's price of 199.99 instead of 299.99. Gotta say I'm pretty happy with them. They also had it in my hands on less than 24 hours via UPS.

Okay, I'm done stroking Roger's ego [emoji14]

So I'm done with rooting, if you need me, I'll be flashing ROMs like a mad man!

What's everyone's favorite? I was using temasek's on my note 3, but honestly, I'm loving the camera on the note 4 so much that I'm hesitant to use a non touchwiz rom for the moment.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
Personally, Tekxodus, is my fav. He's incredibly active, and I've tried them all. If you like stock tw, Arcadia is your best bet, it has the original LTE symbols like us Canadians like, and poprocks is a good choice also, very active dev also. Any questions just ask, Arcadia you just flash, done, others you flash rom, Canadian data fix, stock cod6 kernel, then xposed X2 files if you wish to use xposed
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vanisleguy1976:
Xposed? I've been using CM12 and AOSP forever, is Xposed now working on TW ROMs? I think I have some googling to do!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
Yes sir, there are 2 files and many things work. Just read up, it doesn't look like it's installed like before, but it is and working well!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vanisleguy1976:
Cool! I found wanam's version of Xposed. I'm going to give this a go! Pretty stoked! This changes everything!

Edit:

So to clarify, first I have to deodex, and then I can install the apk, then flash the zip from http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3113463?

I see there are 5 different versions, I'll try to read up when I have a moment but can you tell me which version you used? (Also, it suggests Philz or CWM... I always prefer TWRP personally, so just want to see what you used?)

And last question... Does it have to be a custom ROM or can I just deodex the stock ROM?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
Twrp, all day every day. The op in both Tekxodus and poprocks have the files I believe. Check them out, those work, I know from experience. Check my pic, those are what you want.

No deodexing, just flash 2 zips in the proper order, apk first, then the other. Simple
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
And this just now from the poprocks thread. But as I said, I prefer Tekxodus, and his xposed files are in the rom, system/mods, for your flashing pleasure
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yarbo:
Do things like GPS and Compass work better with a TW Rom over CM 12 - Or would they be pretty much the same?

Edit: I also unrooted my phone and went back to stock as a test, and my camera focus issues remain - I think it's a hardware issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Sorry for asking this stupid question but its happened before.

Did you remove the plastic film around the camera? That's caused this exact issue on numerous devices in here.

current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Yarbo:
Yeah, I did when I got the phone. I know a lot of people didn't notice it, and left it on but I noticed that thing right away. At this point I'm about ready to sell this thing, and maybe try an LG G4, or wait for the Oneplus 2. Samsung was of no use - they refuse to do anything (even if they offered, it probably go through because I rooted and flashed CM 12).

I put it up on CL, for like $300 and a note saying the camera is messed up. Maybe someone who doesn't care about the camera will buy it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
If they hadn't put a sub par 808 in the G4 I'd prolly pick one up...its not much better than the 805 and has no place in a 2015 flagship as far as I'm concerned. They really ought to sort out whatever is wrong with the 810...this must be killing Qualcomm...talk about embarrassing lol.

Hello,

Question to Canadian Note 4 users. I was wondering if any of you have tried both Arcadia and TekHD Roms? I am running the latest TEKHD Rom, which I have to say is amazing except the battery life. I was wondering if anyone thinks Arcadia is a better Rom? I am ran both AEL and bioshock kernel on TEKHD and it seems the battery life did not change. I got superior battery life on stock Rom but it was so choppy!

Thanks everyone!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
I'm running latest Tek rom, came from Arcadia. Tough to compare the two, Arcadia is so stock and Teks isn't. That being said after all the tweaking my battery life is very similar. I'm on the latest emotion kernel.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
Thank you. Are you using emotiom on the BOE1 firmware or BOC3? How is the kernel?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
Boe1, it's fine, I see very little difference to stock, but no issues whatsoever
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
Due to exactly the same experience on my side (poor battery life on LP ROMS ) I decided to give a try on KK... as "backwards" as that might sound I couldn't be happier. I'm on XNOTE 3 port and getting great performance and battery life together with a bunch of customization. I'll drop a couple of screenshots here with the battery performance I'm getting on the first battery cycle I did on this rom - no fancy setups and I'm using the phone normally. Ultimately I found that the gains of upgrading to LP don't overcome the losses.. my 2 cents.

Please help

I have a rogers note 4 that has been blacklisted by my sister who is trying to ruin me. I'm a person who will not stop trying and I have tried everything putting my phone in bootloop many times :mad:... Is there any way I can unlock my blacklisted note 4 to any carrier other than rogers. Ive tried to change my imei and it just resets itself. I've tried to change the CSC and. Nothing happened. She also stole all my money so i have no way to bring it to a repair shop. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME

Sounds like a stolen phone to me...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
I think you hit a brick wall here - you joined XDA to get a blacklisted phone back to legit status... as much as your story might be true I really doubt anyone will help you since for all we know you could've just stolen the device. On a side note, I believe a blacklisted IMEI is not carrier dependant. ..

Oh boy....:eek:

There are ways around this but you won't find them on this site. There is this thing called Google, give it a try.

I've tried Google for a week now. And its deff not a stolen phone I've been with rogers for 4 years .. Just upgraded from s4 to note 4 and love this phone. Just thought someone could help me stick it to my sister and get my baby back lol...(I've had a lot of phones and the note 4 is my fav by far)... Oh well I'm not stopping here (probably will just pay to get it done but will still try until I have the $$)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
Why don't you just contact Rogers?

If you're the owner of the phone they'll remove the blacklisting I believe
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sincindy:
Its under her name I have bad credit from my other sister.. I can see how this sounds fake lol but unfortunately it is not
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
If it's under her name she owns it buddy...not your device. Even if you paid the bill and the $299 for the device. There's always 2 sides for 1 story.

Any kernel recommendation for battery specifically?

I am running Arcadia with the kernel that it comes with, and want to know if there are any other kernels that I can try for better battery.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nk_blu:
Hello, which kernel are you using with your xnote rom? I'm also thinking of sliding back to KitKat for now (currently running DynamicPop 6.0 Lollipop). Did you just flash the xnote after wipe, or did you have to flash everything stock via odin first?

Sorry for bunch of questions! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
Hi

I just did a factory reset/wipe as indicated on the OP of the Turilo thread for the XNOTE 3 and flashed the following:

- turilo_PORT_Xnote_Build_3.0_N910F_NK4_public_Tmobile_Can_Fixed

- Nadia-nightly-r4-SM-N910F-G-T-W8

The Canada fix is already included in the rom zip file.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
Thank you, I think I will flash this. Lollipop is bad on battery omg. How is the battery life on this Rom?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
Battery life is always dependant on each individual and the way they use and setup their phone up. ..I've been getting anywhere from 6 to 10 hours SOT depending on what I'm doing and how I set the screen brightness. As for sleeping consumption I've been getting less than 1%/h.

Sorry I missed the fact that there was an alpha bug fix.... I guess it's comforting to hear that it's working fully, because it still looks hit and miss even in those bug fix threads.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
No problem :). Yes running well without issues here. From what I can tell, the "hit and misses" are generally due to people not following the instructions and/or installing on unsupported devices/roms (e.g. odexed, etc) . [emoji106]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pappcam:
"deodexed" and "stock" aren't compatible. If it's deodexed it's not stock so the guy inquiring was correct.

Xposed was perfect for people who just rooted their phone and wanted to customize it without installing a completely new ROM. There was no need for custom recovery or anything.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
I see your point but in practice users often call deodexed roms "stock", for shorthand (as opposed to CM based roms for example). After all, deodexing a stock rom is essentially modifying it but still using the stock image, not so different than say removing ring tones or freezing certain apps. Sure the original rom is modified in some way, but it's still the stock base/framework.

Yes the old days were good! I used to be able to dual boot two roms directly at the kernel level using Siyah on my Galaxy S2 :) Times have changed...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chargen2:
GPS basically broken

I use the GPS on my phone numerous times a day and within the last few days it's basically stopped working.

I'm hoping that someone might be able to provide some information to help!

I've got a Rogers SM-N910W8 running the BOC4 stock Rogers ROM.

Things were great for a long time after installing that ROM, then about a week or so ago GPS stability went in the toilet. Now, testing with GPS Status and Toolbox I typically sit at 0/22 satellites locked. I might be able to track using GPS for a moment or so during the course of a hour long walk or bike ride, but most of the time the apps will say 0.00km tracked.

I've wiping cache, different apps, factory reset and reinstall of ROM (tested right after that with same results). I'm not sure what to try next... Of course my warranty is void due to fiddling with recoveries, etc.

Has anyone ever heard of a GPS related hardware problem?

Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Thanks folks!

I've ran into similar issues many times before with my S3 and already once with my Note 4. The way I fixed it is as follows:

1. do a nandroid.

2.install a KK TW rom of your choice (the bellow steps don't work on LP)

No need to set it up at all since you'll be just using it to do the following:

1.On your phone keypad type *#9090# this will open secret menu

2. In the options menu (3 dots top right) select key input, type Q then select enter

3. go back to key input this time type 0000, select enter then WAIT a few seconds... A new menu will open

4. Select UE setting and info

5. Select > setting

6. Select > system

7. Select > NV rebuild

8. Select > Protocol GPS , IMS NV

9. Reboot phone as instructed.

Open any app that uses GPS and get a 3D lock.

You're all done. You may restore your nandroid and your GPS should be working just fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
Nice!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
I would try err0r76's fix first, but if it doesn't work for some reason then try a fresh Odin install of your stock firmware. That's fixed it for me in the past.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
What kernel are you using with TekXodus Rom? I am using AEL 14.2 and getting terrible battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] chargen2:
I think this may have fixed it! Time will tell... I'm sure I'll use the GPS over the weekend to confirm.

While working through the steps I encountered a nasty bug... UNREGISTER YOUR FINGERPRINTS before doing a nandroid backup. When you do a restore you can't use the fingerprints or the backup password. I could unlock my phone with the backup password, but anywhere in settings (Fingerprint/Lock screen) it said both the fingerprints and password were invalid!

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] err0r76:
Good that it started working...just repeat as necessary. The more ROMS you flash the more often you'll see it happening.

Hey all,

My Bell Note 4 is giving me some weird issues (constantly searching for GPS, WiFi drops and requires a restart to get back, screen randomly turns on) with these issues remaining even after I reset the device.

I'm starting to think that maybe it's time to root the phone and try a custom ROM in the hope that it will help with these issues (as well as some of the irritating lag issues as well). I don't suppose anyone has any advice on what a solid ROM is for the Canadian Note 4? Given my current frustration level, I'm wondering if a CM based ROM would be worth it...

Thanks!

Cm 12.1

Cm 12.1 or PAC Man Rom

[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
If your frustrated with stock, an AOSP rom is the wrong way to go. The battery is god awful, camera is worse, and you have to jump through hoops to get some spen functionality.

There are a few tw roms in the tmobile section, #1 is Tekxodus rom, my personal favorite, highly modified with lots of s6 stuff, poprocks rom if you like stock better.

Depends what you're looking for
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jellmoo:
Thanks for the head's up! I'm not overly worried about less capable camera shots (I very rarely snap photos) but worse battery life is definitely not something I'm looking for. I'll give Tekxodus a look at.

Honestly, what I' looking for is something that just plain works, with very little fuss, and runs smooth. I can do without a ton of features if the overall device experience is top notch.
