Well this is a problem because same here. I haven't figured out a solution other then keep data off until I really need it then shut it off right away again. But yes, after Day 3 last month I went over my data cap. I check the Mobile Data stats and its just different apps using data on its own. Some are worse then others. Flipboard for example will eat up over 100MB after a few articles where as My i5 could be browsing all day before I would hit even close to 100MB.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
you may want to increase your data plan....simple solution. i have 10gb and usually use around 8 or so. sometimes more sometimes less.

I would also look into more data I have 10 GB on 1 of my sims and 5gb each pooled with 6 others who hardly use any so I would probably have 20 GB on another sim so I dont have to worry about going over , but data is cheap these days

If only it worked like gas prices. That mustang would great right now with these low gas prices. lol

I am to the point I have to turn my data off until I need to use the phone away from wifi.

With which carrier do you have a 10GB plan? Must be a Hefty price. A 10GB plan for me would cost me close to $150 with Bell.

for those of you worrying about wireless data volumes, go to settings, data usage, hit the 3-dot menu, check Restrict Background Data. then set a mobile data limit just below your monthly allocation - this will ensure you won't go over, and if you hit it, it'll disable wireless data automatically.

Hi guys

I finally got my Note 4 (upgrading from Note 2) and was wondering, any of you guys running a custom ROM (preferably AOSP) on it ? It's a N910W8.

I used to run Slimroms on previous note2, s3, captivate.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
Head on over to the TMO section. Just about all of their roms are made for our phones as well and those who aren't just need a kernel to work with our devices. I Have no idea why you would want an aosp rom on a note but that's another story ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ANDYs3:
I hate touchwiz. It's wayyy too bloated with crap but I will try to root it and remove all the crap and see if I like it then. I will also need to change the DPI and some other things but since it's a powerful phone which will be fast on touchwiz too I will try to work with it see what I can do. Thanks. I wasn't sure because on previous phones I had to go with the AT&T version. I guess now it's TMO.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
Go to the tmobile section and try firekat (canadian version so no custom kernel needed), or DynamicKat with AEL kernel. Both are based on TW but Firekat is like stock on steroids, and DynamicKat offers tons of customization. AEL kernel rocks too :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ANDYs3:
Stock on steriods sounds interesting I will go check it out. Thanks

If you guys got any other suggestions for debloated ROMS, let me know.

Also wanted to know, Should I flash ROM and kernel with odin ? Or should I just root and install custom recovery then use the recovery to install custom roms/kernels ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
Generally speaking, you flash root and then TWRP recovery through Odin, followed by flashing the rom (and any kernel, if applicable) through recovery. Make sure you read the first post of the thread for whichever rom you decide on, and follow those steps to be sure :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ANDYs3:
Thanks guys I will read a bit and try some things and I will be back :D

[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
first you need this :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55865427

read the first several posts (a good idea for all threads)and make sure you get the correct package for your SM-N910W8.

then this:

http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/trltecan

download the latest file (not the .zip one) and flash after root. you technically dont need to root really since any custom rom you flash will have root but i do it anyway.

make a backup in twrp before you do any flashing also.

then cruise the roms and figure out what you want to flash.

any questions after you do a lot of reading first....we are here for you.

I actually meant the first post of the rom thread, not this one. For example, go to the note 4 tmobile section on xda, go to development section, go to a thread for a rom (e.g. firekat thread, dynamickat thread, etc), and then read the first few posts of that thread.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
im very familiar with both roms...ive run every revision of both :D

since your on a canadian device for the CAN FK if you want flash the latest which is v9 you need to be on the AO1 firmware. if you are full wipe in twrp and flash v9..thats it. and do not restore anything from tibu etc.

...the previous n4 CAN firmware was NJ3 and in that case if your on that and dont want to odin AO1 the flash the CAN V8. we can flash the NK4 Tmo roms but then you need a custom kernel.

for dynamic he hasnt yet updated the CAN version to AO1 so if your on that you will need a custom kernel regardless and even if your still in NJ3 you need a custom kernel for the CAN version.

both are great roms.

Is your private mode still working after rooting? Can anyone else answer if they've rooted and still have private mode working? I've been reading about it not working after root.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbzgod:
Yes private mode still works even if your rooted. Rooting makes Knox no longer work, perhaps that was the confusion for some.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rrupert:
Why does it seem that they have stalled releasing lollipop for the Note 4. The Rogers site has TBD still. The wait is just killing me!

I came from a S3 running custom firmware, so I am used to flashing a new os regularily.

If there was at least some sort of time frame for us Canadians it wouldn't be as bad. Just feels like being left in the dark.

I'm back. After changing the DPI, It messed up the camera and dialer... in other words the TW apps. For now I would move to AOSP but I like the extra features such as heartbeat, s pen stuff, fingerprint. Guess I have to replace camera and dialer if I stick with TW.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
That's why I said I wasn't sure why you wanted an aosp rom on the note 4, it sort of defeats the purpose imo. Might as well have bought the nexus 6 in that case. A lot of people slam touchwiz but don't realize the little things that make it awesome. I read a lot on my phone and I love the fact that I don't have to touch the screen whenever it goes dim to prevent it from turning off, I love the fact that I can minimize an app into a little circle to come back to it later. Sure a lot of those features you can add but they never work as well. Now if you have a phone and prefer aosp that's another thing but seeing as you, like me, have the original, the one and only, the true phablet. Why not enjoy it a little. ( - ;

If you have or don't mind using xposed, there's a module called "App Settings" and you can set the DPI per app. So you can have the TW apps be the stock DPI while everything else your custom DPI. That's what I do.

Xposed has recently been updated and now working within LP [emoji3]

.... Although LP itself still has some major flaws that need to be worked out before it becomes the standard daily driver for most...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dbzgod:
This is one pro of our Canadian carriers taking longer to put out updates. In recent times they seem a bit pickier and it results in a better build with less bugs then what we see on international models.

To me it looks like international models get more frequent updates but generally are more buggy and there for the reason why they get more fix releases.

We see less in Canada but are less buggy. Seems like they are going for quality over quantity.

The waiting game sucks and I honestly expected to see Lollipop for our Note 4's by now. But it should be a some what decent build.

I would also imagine that they wanted the mute functionality restored on Lollipop in there as well and it's only recent builds that got it so that too would cause delay.

Here's hoping it comes in March hahaha.

Hey Canadian Users,

I just wanted your input on this phone. With the recent announcement of the galaxy S6, I was initially excited to get the Edge version, but after looking at the pricing, I am starting to deter away from it. Is the Note 4 still a viable option?

Is there root and a decent custom rom scene for our Canadian Note 4? I know that the AT and T one in the states has a bad development community so many people use the T-mobile one. Any info would be greatly appreciated
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Tons of development....we can flash both tmo roms and intl roms with some extra work.

Theres CM..AOSP...lots of versions..

No shortage of roms for use.

Att has a locked bootloader so they are screwed pretty much, our device doesnt have that problem.

The s6 will have little development due to the exynos processor. Not to mention tiny ass screen, no ext sd card...and non removable battery.

S6 vs note 4?...easy choice in my eyes.

Thanks for the response, so I was just wondering, what do you mean by a little "extra work". I am coming from a Nexus 4, so I am used to really easy rooting and a plethora of ROMs available. And would you think that buying a Note 4 through something like Kijiji would be better?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] force70:
Root is still super easy..

To flash the tmo roms we need to also flash a custom kernel along with the rom in recovery. There are several very good custom kernels for use.

For an intl rom a custom kernel and a csc fix to allow network connection. Its also flashed in recovery after the rom like a kernel.

Sammy devices are very easy to work with and very forgiving when you screw up. Plus coming from a nexus 4 you will very much appreciate the ridiculous camera, battery life, removable battery and sd card slot. The 5.7" screen is pretty sweet too lol

Ive owned alot of devices and the note 4 is hands down the best ive ever had.
