I noticed... After i reset my device that..

I first set it up.. I enter my google email and password.. and all is good.

After i guess it updates the market and google services... I try to access the Market, and I have to re enter my google account, as after the market and services update my account is no longer present..

Weird.

Weak Signal Strength on Lollipop Rogers?

Last night I used Bell's Lollipop stock rom to update my Rogers Note 4. I immediately noticed that I'm only getting 2 bars of signal since the update....around my house I usually get 4-5 signal bars when I was on Firekat v10.

Anyone else on Rogers noticed this when they switched to Lollipop?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sharp2G:
I used Koodo Lollipop firmware but changed my CSC to Fido on my Rogers Note 4. I get full bars as I did using FireKat v11X. You should consider clearing data, cache, dalvik cache, system in TWRP before updating to lollipop or preform a factory reset (my option).

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Really? Rogers website says the update is 5.0.2. Disappointing but not unexpected if true.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
really?

i dont know anyone else on Rogers who is seeing the update (via OTA)and Sammobile doesn't have it yet either..

odd...

custom rom

hey guys, got my new note 4 n910w8, came from note 3 and loving it. My question is: do i have to stick with tmob roms or can i flash any international rom with a tmob compatible kernel? on my note 3 i was able to flash any international (snapdragon) rom along with a kernel and worked fine. Same for note 4? i am on 5.0.1 atm. Asking because from what i read i can only flash tmob roms and not very clear if i can flash say a n910f/g roms
[Galaxy Note 4 General] habs101:
Maybe because I changed my CSC using this *#272*IMEI# to Koodo.

Probably that is why... I did buy it from rogers and it is a rogers device just changed the csc that was it
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
Shouldn't have to flash anything and really don't want to. Bell, Telus, Wind...all updated OTA. Rogers, crickets chirping...

Time to change providers I think.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
Yeah, I've had Facebook and Twitter talks with them in public as well. This is just silly. There is no reason why they take so long with updates when everyone else in Canada has the update, except for making sure their crappy bloatware that I disable anyway, works with Lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pappcam:
Isn't Rogers the bloatware king of Canadian carriers? Glad I don't give a dime to those clowns.

Thanks for the reply. I did a factory reset then cleared everything (data, cache, sytem, dalvik, internal) in TWRP before I loaded Lollipop in Odin.

How do I change my CSC to Fido?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sharp2G:
If you're on Rogers then change your CSC to that. Go to your phone dialer and type in "*#272*IMEIofyourphone#" and then select Rogers. Once you change your CSC, it automatically factory resets your phone. Upon boot up your phone will be Rogers!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vcallas:
Does anyone know which choice from this screen you pick for Wind?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zerojay:
There's a wind firmware out there as far as I know so you shouldn't need to change csc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - Just download the Wind Firmware

Tmo you can flash but need a custom kernel for both LP and KK.

The international roms even with a custom kernel on KK do not get signal and give a sim card error so you have to flash a fix for that then all good.

I would assume the same for LP.

There are LP roms out based on our

CAN firmware and the intl base which work on our device. They are both in the Tmo dev forum.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
Funny you should say that. For me it always reverts to Bell. Whichever phone I have s4, s5, note 4. Whichever firmware I download, Telus, Rogers, Fido. Once I install it. I have Bell bloat.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] victore88:
Same here, I had Rogers phone and flashed Wind 5.0.1 update via Odin. After booting I still have Rogers bloat.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rambopfc:
I noticed this too with my Telus phone, all the bell stuff was on it even with the Telus download. Is your phone unlocked? Mine is, maybe that has something to do with it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
It's the csc defaulting to Bell. We have to change the csc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
You do, because you were on firekat with wanam xposed probably set to show six signal bars.

There's no difference between old and new Canadian modem. Tested on several locations that I am aware of their strength, in detail, trough service menu.

If it's some other cause for signal drop, it probably network congestion, or service work. Blame it on the provider, and it's probably only temporary.

Note 4 ?

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------

Cause you're probably always coming from custom rom with American, or no csc. In that case it always loads bell as default. If you had proper Canadian provider csc, you would keep it.

Answer is above. Does not matter which canadian provider firmware you download, it will always keep your original csc, till you change it to something else.

In case it's missing or its not Canadian, you'll get bell csc

Note 4 ?

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

For most intents and purposes, that is now Koodo phone. So no, Rogers does not have firmware out, yet.

Only way left, that this is Rogers phone is for the warranty, with your imei and your receipt, otherwise once you change your csc, your phone becomes that, as far as updates go.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
That would be why. I guess I misunderstood you for say Rogers got the update pushed out.. U they haven't but if u changed the csc, we'll then you got the update from someone else..

I hear ya.. I guess it better actually be 5.0.2 when they launch or the delay was meaningless and looks bad when rest of Canada got it at the same time more or less.. But you are here at XDA so I assume you are likely into rooting, rom'ing and flashing, etc.. So it's not that big of a deal I would assume.. If you want it, why wait?

^^^ This is true.. Csc's will default to Bell (not sure why them for every flashable) if you don't have one existing or is from out of region, just like ldan stated..

As for bloat, we have it fairly good compared to most carriers in the US. Not nearly as much here although sure I'd prefer to see less anyways but ultimately doesn't matter anyways, right.. Easy enough to solve or get rid of..

That's why most are here at XDA. For the options to do what we want and typically not to be on stock unrooted carrier supplied firmware/software..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
To understand this is actually very simple.

Every multicsc (has more than one provider) has a dominant (active) provider or country, prepackaged.

For us it's Bell (since we don't have open phones. Maybe they have most pull with Samsung (since first sgs), maybe they sell most phones, maybe it's just their luck. In a gist, someone has to be default.

For international open multi csc its usually great Britain ( on most phones it's BMC folder)

For test firmwares, it usually defaults to Korea.

Now after Odin flash, phone will always reboot to stock recovery first. Check against existing active csc and to this:

1. If it's custom recovery, like twrp, it can't do its thing, so will default to prepackaged. In our case, Bell.

2. If in stock recovery it sees active csc that is part of its package. It will take files from that subfolder and make it active. In my case it takes files from FMC, and overwrites bell with my Fido files.

3. It sees bell. Keeps it bell.

4. It sees no csc. Defaults to Bell.

5. It sees BMC (from international firmware, for example). It defaults to Bell.

..... So only one case with 2 conditions, it does not default to Bell.

Stock recovery, and it (active csc) has to be part of the package.

Same is true (in principal) for all multicsc.

Viper4android on Stock lollipop

Hey guys, wondering if anyone was able to get viper 4 android working on stock bell lollipop? I have rooted as well set selinux to permissive and busy box installed. I have installed and re-installed but to no effect every time I go into viper it still wants me to install the driver which I have done over and over? Any help would be greatly appreciated. :confused:

Also was wondering if anyone would be willing to provide me an answer on weather or not most mod zips such as full screen caller ID, Font installer etc are still working on lolipop as they did on KK before I flash and mess anything up?

Hi everyone,

I rooted my device a while ago and loaded FireKat with 4.4.4. I am with rogers and have a Canadian note 4. I am wondering if there is a custom lollipop rom out there or if we can load a stock lollipop rom without losing root? If so where can I get this and how can I keep my root? Thanks so much!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
There are 2 roms out there based on lollipop from vision x. One based on intl firmware BOC3 and one based on our bell firmware BOC4. I would suggest the bell version. Both are located in the Tmo android development forum

That said odining the actual bell LP firmware and rooting is very simple and takes all of 5 min if you wanted to go that route

[Galaxy Note 4 General] lebman1234:
Thaanks so much. Sorry for all the questions but would it matter if my baseband version is running AOA1?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sharp2G:
EVERYTHING will be wiped (internal storage like a factory reset), except the stuff you have on your MicroSD card slot.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dmkarkutt:
I would suggest being on A0A1 before upgrade

[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
So far not overly thrilled on 5.0.1 LP. Haven't done too much yet as only temporarily testing it on wife's phone first.

Still a bit twitchy. No camera2 api's of course (surprise surprise.. damn Samsung for that)... and no multiuser?

I'm sticking with kk on mine for now.. Wait until later better version of LP/Roms release or run it on newer, updated phone.. Testing out 5.1 on my Nexus6..its better but still gonna use this Note as my daily for now..

I just updated my rogers w8 to the wind firmware last night and everything is working fine. CSC automatically changed to RWC. I am having one problem and thats with radio signal strength. I find its a lot lower than it used to be. I am wondering if flashing the old radio firmware from 4.4.4 will help.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zerojay:
I think someone earlier in the thread said that the radio firmware didn't change from Kitkat but I'm not 100% sure on that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
No it's been updated as well, from AOA1 to BOC4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Did not say that modem did not change. Obviously new modem is packaged with lollipop.

What I said is, if people only bothered to test old and new modem, easiest by going to : settings/about/status/signal strength, and comparing levels or asu, between kitkat and lollipop, in same location, right after another, or side by side (if they have 2 notes ?), they would see that levels don't appreciably change.

I take issue with people coming from custom roms, with wanam set to show 6 levels icon (which does look better), that looks like there's more bars than there actually is, to a stock 4 bar icon, and saying that the signal levels are 2 bars lower. Also some don't realise that network levels overall are not static. So if last month, or yesterday, you remember having 4 bars average in certain location, and today you see only 2, they could even be on different tower, even if they are standing in same spot.

So proper testing, before crying subjective opinion, 'lollipop modem sucks and is so much worse than kitkat'.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
My problem is that I was able to get 2-3 bars of LTE in my office at work and now I can't get any LTE only 2 bars of 4G. Does anyone have a link to the old kitkat radio, possibly an odin or twrp flashable so I can compare? Maybe the level's aren't changing, but it seems to prefer 4g over a weaker LTE signal.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d4ndr0id:
If you can't find one, I'll rip my radio from my backed up kitkat on my day off, Thursday .
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
You can download kitkat firmware from the net and unpack it with winrar. You flash both modems with Odin. Plus there should be a thread here somewhere with modems. Canadian is there as well.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
I looked for the thread cause I thought I remembered seeing it, the only one I can find has been closed recently and doesn't have the canadian radio.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

I still had an ANJ3 firmware on my computer so I extracted modem.bin from it and flashed it. I am still getting the the same 2 bars of 4G so I am assuming its a network issue not my modem.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
It's always good idea to flash both modems in pair, since sgs4. The non_hlos

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
Come again? Both modems in pair? What do you mean exactly.. Only flash one at a time.. Or are you saying basically what you were before in that test one.. Stay same spot same time.. Flash next, see diff?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
Ah ok, I was wondering about that.

I realized that I am getting LTE even though it is saying 4G. If I recall correctly this is the way the note 4 displays LTE. I think I must have modified it before to show LTE instead of 4G.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
Nope. My Note 4 is on Rogers and says LTE for LTE. Nothing modified. Full stock.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
Then it must be a wind mobile thing, because using a signal detector app it says I am connected to lte, when it goes to 4g it shows h+. Can anyone confirm that the bell firmware shows the lte symbol? if so I will flash it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Isn't 4G = LTE?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TheIgster:
Think some carriers show it as 4G instead of LTE, but Wind for example does not have LTE.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
Yes, but I am use to my phones showing lte, so I would prefer it to say lte instead of 4g.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
If your getting LTE and your carrier supports LTE and your CSC is set to your carrier it should show LTE instead of 4G.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
Incorrect, I am getting LTE, my carrier supports LTE, and my CSC is set to RWC. It still shows 4G. Some carriers choose to show 4G and some choose to show LTE. Its set by settings in build.prop as far as I know.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
I don't see how I am incorrect. I have mine set the same and I am on Rogers getting LTE showing as LTE.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
What firmware are you using? I am using wind mobiles 5.0.1.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Bell 5.0.1
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
Awesome thanks! I'm going to try the bell firmware tonight.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
Sounds good. Let us know if that works. Be sure to test on a clean install to see if the LTE shows up before restoring anything.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
Before I flash, any chance you would be willing to share your build.prop for me to test to see if it actually determines which icons are used? I know with the note 3 it was set by the carrier in build.prop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dawen:
I'm on Rogers in alberta, I didn't the see any updates to lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 General] PieOfJustice:
It will have to wait until I get home in around 6-7 hours from now. Working.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
If anyone who is running 5.0.1 from bell can just copy and paste their build.prop that would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
I downloaded the telus firmware. It reverted to Bell since I came from a custom rom and I see 4G not LTE. Not that I give a ****. Just saying.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sharp2G:
Change CSC to your carrier if you want.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
I was only reminding people that our phones, since sgs4 have 2 modems and I had a feeling (in his post he only mentions modem.bin) that user above flashed only one (most do). And they should ideally belong to same firmware. Did not mean to imply flashing them at same time as they use same spot in Odin (therefore should be flashed one after another in same session).

Note 4 ?

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

It could be that your wind firmware messed your csc as Rogers shows LTE for lte and 4g for h+.

One small correction. Signal icons for us Canadians are controlled by csc/other file, you're confusing it with Americans, whose signal is controlled by build.prop.

Note 4 ?

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Btw, did not see the result of [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] going back to kitkat. So tried restoring backup on my own.

Unlike our counterparts on international models (at least early lollipop releases), who can go back to restoring nandroid even though they were on new bootloader, we can't. Restoring works only for those that have kept old bootloader and loaded kitkat through twrp and hacked kernel.

Will test now if bootloader allow downgrade, with full reset and Odin flash kitkat. Will post result.

Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nadrojcote:
Well I am attempting to download the bell version of 5.0.1 but its taking a god awful long time. When its done I will test it to see if its showing lte instead of 4g.

EDIT - I just checked sammobile and both the wind and the bell show the same csc version. N910W8OYA1BOC4

when I check with phone info app it isnt showing a code for csc version.

EDIT#2 - It appears I have no csc folder installed. When I try to change it by using the dialer it cannot find the code. When I check the system folder there is no csc folder.

Do you get money from "thanks"? Does it put food on your table? Why is it such a big deal? You sound like a self entitled child. Sorry, had to say my piece :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
Lol. Glad you should ask. Well the thanks button serves various purposes. First one is the obvious show of gratitude for help received of course. Then the most important thing it does is help avoid unnecessary clutter in more active threads because hitting "thank you" could mean "me too", "I agree" or "I'm experiencing the same issue". Now think about how many threads you've been in that had to be regulated due to clutter.

So to answer your question, no it doesn't put money in my pocket or food on my table. I wasn't even asking for myself. I just thought this thread needed some edumicating, the help to thanks ratio is so low.

A lot of people do a lot on XDA, devs, moderators, contributors, supporters ect...

Is a little thanks so much to ask?

Sorry you feel that way dude.

If you don't want to thank people who help you so be it. I felt it needed to be brought up is all.

In the future before name calling and your snarky little remarks. Just try to think for a minute. I'm sure you could have figured it all out own your own.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
Actually you can restore an old kitkat backup through TWRP, even on the new LP bootloader. You just can't run stock kitkat kernel on the new bootloader. I odin flashed to official BOC4 Bell and then a few days later i restored my FireKat v11x backup with no problem, but I had to install AEL 7.2 instead of stock AOA1 kernel to avoid boot loops on the new LP base.
