[Galaxy Note 4 General] mistamikel:
I actually went from a Nexus 6p to a Note 4.

The 6p was great with stock Android, but the build was crap, usb type-c was a piss off as I have all micro usb things.

Day to day use was great due too asop, snapdragon 810 ect . The camera was meh (came from a G4 and was used to that bad ass camera) But having a slight bend in the frame after owning it for 2 days was a piss off, 32gb was just not enough as I store a ton of stuff ( I have unlimited data so using cloud storage isn't an issue, I just prefer to have my things ready to go) That ugly ass "visor" on the back was horrid,

I still had my note 3 and it still preformed almost up to par with the 6p on day to day stuff when I had an asop rom on it, but I missed the finger print sensor and 2k screen for watching movies on China VR headset.

So I threw on a Note 5 rom in my Note 3 and gave it to my mom as she was in need of a good phone. Went on Kijiji and found a mint Note 4 (for a silly good deal) unlocked it, put on a killer Note 5 rom (Maximum Overdrive) and boom!! I felt like I traded up!!! 32gb internal and 128gb sd card, finger print scanner which works great for me, removable battery so I don't have to carry a damn power bank when I'm out, some bad ass cases and I'm good to go. Did I mention I love having a tv remote on my cell for when I can't find my actual remote lol.

Ps I know benchmarks don't really mean much, but scoring 76k on Antutu is always nice :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] martinomac:
Two different beasts. The 6P comes with 2 cables (USB Type-C to Type-C cable, USB Type-C 15W (5V/3A) charger and USB Type-C to Standard-A cable). So there's no issue with finding a power source as I charge my 6p to full in less time than my Note 4 did.

If you want a Google experience that's faster than any TW custom build, provides constant upgrades with improvements (March update boosted UI and camera for me), then 6P is for you. If you are fine with TW and flashing custom builds/kernels, then you can get a great deal on a used N4 right now. The sensor on the Nexus 6P has a f/2.0 aperture and considerable 1.55μm pixel size. Even though the 6P doesn't have the best camera on the market as of today, I still prefer the image quality over the Note 4. The built-in panoramas are far better on my 6p as well (more details in the shadows and realistic greens and blues). But that just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tkjeeper:
Yeah, back to my original point, I really don't consider the 6p an upgrade from n4, equal pros and cons for each
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
I would agree here, same applies to the note 5...some things better some not so much.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] VlitalityX:
Hey I've got a couple of questions, if I do a twrp backup while I'm on stock, then I flash a custom rom (let's say EMPORIA or kyubi), then I want to return to stock, would I need to flash the original kernel as well when I use the recovery method in TWRP or does the recovery file reflash it on?

Example:

Stock rom->twrp recovery backup-> flash new rom+kernel-> twrp recovery of backup (+original kernel?)

If I flash a stock copy of 5.1.1, would the kernel be included?

When marshmallow comes out, how can I enable OTA updates, or do I need to go to sammobile to flash the new stock rom?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
What ever you backup in twrp will be there when you restore.if you backup a fully stock ROM whatever else you flash after that or even back up after that.. once you restore the stock one it will be exactly what you restored as would any other ROM backup.

I never bother with it ota's just flash via Odin since you would end up using Odin to return to stock anyway to take an ota.

Is there any free unlock methods?

I bought an unlock code and unlocked my phone on stock rom, but when I flashed it to simplrom... I lost my unlock

Tried to go into the unlock menu but it gets locked up in accepting the unlock code.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
That absolutely should not happen, once your Sim unlocked it is permanent.

Are you sure it was actually unlocked?

Very odd

[Galaxy Note 4 General] 7echnique:
Yeah i had to flash the stock rom, i entered the unlock code and it was working fine.

It's a bell model but i'm using it on koodo. The moment i switched to simplrom, it's not recognizing my sim at all
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mistamikel:
When you reboot and have your SIM card in, does it ask for a "network unlock code"

Or does it say invalid sim?

Could be a rom released problem.

Is the rom (Simple rom) one that you downloaded from this section (snapdragon variant) ? If it is did you flash the data fix ?

99% of the roms on here (snapdragon variant) need a data fix flashed as well for our Canadian Note 4 to work properly.

Go to the T-mobile section and try the roms there.

Since the T-mobile Note 4 and our Canadian Note 4 are pretty much the exact same device, all the roms developed for the T-mo are compatible without having to flash anything extra.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Excellent points,likely he is seeing the normal invalid Sim error when we flash other roms besides CAN based ones.

Simple ROM is Intl I think.

I just assumed he was flashing correctly with the data fix since its common knowledge and nothing new.

Had me scratching my head as I've never seen an unlocked device relock itself lol.

sent from my Nexus 6P, Note 5, Nexus 6 or Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mistamikel:
I actually did the same thing when I first got my Note. Flashed a Note 5 rom (Intl) and didn't flash the data fix and had the sim error lol.

Hope all worked out for them though.

Be sure to check out Maximum Overdrive in the T-mobile section for a bad ass Note 5 port.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] imeem:
just wondering, how are your guys' signal strengths in dBm? I have the UAE version and i'm on rogers, I feel like I should be getting better signals than -90s (average) dBm on 3G. The highest i've seen on my phone is maybe -85 dBm. It can sometimes even go in the -100s. If i switch to LTE/4G, it is even worse. I'm wondering is it because it is a international device, software issue, or hardware issue.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
Our Note 4's on with Eastlink and the signal is garbage around our apartment sucks. Go from 1 bar to no service quite a bit. But when we're out. We often get full bars. Maybe check with Rogers or get another Rogers SIM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 7echnique:
Wait what is the data fix? I also figured the canadian Note 4 would be considered the snapdragon variant, am I incorrect in assuming so?

Thanks so much for the information guys, I feel like there's some hope yet. Was super sad to pay 15 bucks for an unlock code and the phone still didn't work. I tried to use galaxy tools, but it would just lock up and freeze on my phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cash2387:
One of the places I seen the DataFix was here

We can run many different ROM's, but depending on what region its from. We may need to flash this. Now I haven't flashed my Note 4 yet (was a flashaholic on my S3) so someone else may want to chime in to make sure I gave the correct link.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] AndroidSon:
Yeah I think without flashing that, the phone doesn't have network. I backed out from flashing because it only got like 290 downloads. Anyone experienced in these stuff can vouch if it's safe? Just want to make sure I am not connecting to a third party server that might steal our data?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jose0726:
I sure hope our model gets updated ?

I actually flash a sprint rom. ? It actually booted and i got to a green screen where it was updating apps but then I got reboots. I did notice charging animation changed ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
If it did boot you wouldn't have data or cell signal likely.

I ran a sprint ROM on my S3 and it took a ton of tweaks from numerous people to get it all working okay.

Read too fast. You have the unibomber's real initials BTW, Ted Kaczynski.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mistamikel:
Yes that's the data fix. You might need to flash a different kernel as well (depending on the rom)

Our notes (910-w8) use the Snapdragon processor , but it's not %100 the same as the international one that also uses the Snapdragon.

Our Notes are identical to the T-mobile versions though. So you don't have to do any extra flashing (unless stated in the rom flashing instructions) when flashing a T-mobile rom.

To keep it simple, head over to the T-mobile Note 4 section of the forum and flash away.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] imeem:
i tired 3 sim cards and my phone is the international version, so no rogers for me. I think it may be a software issue because i download Opensignal, it shows that my Note 4 connects to the cell tower that's further away from my house. My nexus 4 connects to one that is closer.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
It sounds like it is a baseband issue. Are you sure that you have the latest baseband/bootloader installed?

Hi people! I live in Canada, but I have an unlocked t-mobile Note 4 (n910t). I am pretty happy with standard firmware except I can not send SMS (i can receive them, no problem) because it has a t-mobile SMS service center number and i can not change it (option is disabled). What can I do to fix this? As far as I understand I can install firmware from fido (I am with fido now)? Is there are any other simpler ways to solve this?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
You cannot flash firmware from a other carrier no. You can flash a non Tmo ROM probably though.

I'm used to flashing Tmo ROMs on Canadian devices and need a custom kernel to do it so I'd assume the reverse is true..

Never heard anything about an SMS service center but if your APN is set up properly should that not work?

sent from my Nexus 6P, Note 5, Nexus 6 or Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
Yes, it looks like apn problem. Please research for your apn settings and create and switch to this new apn, sms/mms should work then.

COK1 is 5.1.1 for n910c. Thanks, guess i'll just have to live with it then.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mistamikel:
100% apn. As stated, Google "fido apn settings" it just take it to fido as I'm sure someone there will just do it for you.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
My phone is actually 910w8 and because of a T-mobile based rom, it looks like 910T, and as you see my radio/modem is COK3
[Galaxy Note 4 General] enna:
thank you guys.

It does not look like an apn problem, my another phone Asus zenfone2 has the same settings (just all defaults lte from fido) and there is no problem at all. SIM card is the same, settings are the same.

Yesterday I've tried to install different firmware Maximum_OvrDriVE_N5_v11, I think I missed something, because I got an error during installation of that and it was not install. Do I need root, twrp, etc.? Sorry for noobie questions, last time I played with firmwares was so long ago (with Galaxy Note1). After that all my phones did not require that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mystic74:
If you dont have COK3 baseband installed please start from there first. Link for proper original Samsung rom can be found here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910W8/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
That is not firmware, that's a ROM.

How did you try to install it? I really hope you don't say Odin lol.

And if you did try to Odin a ROM I suggest doing ALOT of reading before doing anything else to your device...your not ready to be modding just yet.

Noob questions are fine, its actually good to ask but before you do anything else seriously start reading, no one wants to see you brick your device

Sorry, I am a software developer, and for me ROM is a firmware. May be in Android world people think differently, ok. Actually i am not that noob, I played with different Roms (if this term is more convinient for you) since old Windows Mobile (apx. year 2001 ). I just don't feel fun anymore if thing is working fine to improve something inside.

Anyway thanks for help.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] enna:
SOLVED. Finally I've installed Maximum_OvrDriVE_N5_v11 rom. I had this when I've tried before:

Secure Check Fail : recovery

Custom Binary (recovery) Blocked by R/L

The only problem was one ticked box in setting (Security => Reactivation Lock should be off)

Now I have text message number enabled and can change it.

P.S. I used odin to install TWRP and then install rom under TWRP from external SD.

Why you told don't use odin? That's crazy. Please next time if you don't know do not advise :)

Hello Guys,

I have installed TEKXodus Rom in november 2015 about 5 months ago. As usual, super happy at the beggininning the phone was fast etc. 5 months later is has became super slow. As usual after certain time passed I have noticed that any rom lead to this type of slugishness and you have to recommence.

Plus I have new problem with LTE poor deconnexion (it connects and disconnects without reason)

I'm looking now for a ROM to install fresh new. And I want something that would last more than 5 months. Wonder if you know some fast and stable ones. I was looking for the Firekat but I'm not sure it is still maintained, do you have any advice, thank you.

You said yourself that you used Odin to flash twrp which isn't the same as flashing a custom rom.

So I got Ota update notification for 6.0.1 but after I install it, I get unknown baseband and Insert SIM card message. So no network connection.

Had to downgrade to 5.1.1. Tried installing twice along with factory reset and wipe cache. No joy so far.

Am I the only one who got the OTA ? I thought I could go to sammobile and download the image and install through Odin.

Kind of weird that official samsung update doesnt work. I was going from official latest 5.1.1 to official 6.0.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbzgod:
What carrier are you on/is the phone from?

I've manually checked and only find 5.1.1 firmwares so it looks like the OTA has been pulled.

Most likely that one was push by mistake or was only ment to go up for a moment for testing purposes.

Having no baseband could mean parts of the firmware were missing or not configured further indicating a test build.

Also it being labelled as PD1 = April build date so it was made just recently and there for probably not tested yet.

Good to know that builds are being made, we should see a full official launch soon. (I hope lol)
