Haven't noticed chopping (yet) but definitely connection issues.

Same here. This is my main concern. Bluetooth speaker devices taking a while to connect and often dropping and reconnecting. Oh and acting strange when initially connecting to media.. If something is live playing and I connect it goes fine and quick but if media is paused, etc it's like it tries internal speaker first (even though Bluetooth speaker connected) and eventually goes to ext speaker. Not used to this behaviour.

We are not alone.. Curious if general Bluetooth playback and connectivity is an inbread issue with the Note4 and a firmware update is needed?

What does Rogers consider a "hard" reset? I would assume just a "factory reset" which will be useless. Does this mean they will replace these phones then? And if so will it be any different... I think possibly not and it very well could be widespread issue (hearing more and more people with intermittent BT issues)

Does the Canadian note 4 require roms be built specifically for our version, or can it run the US versions also? Im wondering if well be limited in our selection roms in the future....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
There currently are not any Canadian Roms - Best bet - Flash a T-Mobile Rom - BUT you HAVE TO FLASH a NJ3 kernel in the same recovery session as flashing the Rom - OR the phone won't boot!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Rekzer:
Perfect. What happens if you forget(just askin), can you still get into recovery to correct it after?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - Just pull the battery - Boot into TWRP - And restore your nandroid +Make SURE that you have a Nandroid of the Stock Rom - BEFORE you flash anything ;)

You can look here for the trltecan NJ3 kernel:

Sweett, so worst case scenario if i forget, the file would be on the device anyways (the kernel) and i could flash it on top of the tmo rom...safe n easy as it always has been it seems.

Note 4 may be my new phone it seems!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Yup - You might want to make sure that the first StarKissed trltecan kernel is a zip - and NOT an img file - you can't flash an img file in TWRP - But you can flash the NJ3 kernel update img files with Flashify after you're up and running
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nabobcoffee:
Hard reset is factory reset. So i called rogers and the supper person and he tight away offered me a replacement. and I asked him are you getting any complaints about this and he said not on regular basis. Anyway my new phone is on the way should be here by next week. I will let you know. BT was not bothering me that much but tbh I wanted to make sure it works perfect knowing that the phone will be with me for the next two years.

As far as I know, there were no updates, and i cant check now because it says my phones modified.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
I'm fairly certain now it's the way the phone is, at least with the current firmware. Not only am I reading many who have BT issues but I tested two other phones.. One right out of box fresh and same thing.

I haven't seen or heard any actual playback issues like choppiness mind you but the manner in which it connects or doesn't connect is widespread and once connected there are occasional disconnects. Disappointing but I think it software/firmware. Will wait for updates and new Roms.

Anyone know how I can get my auto-correct to work like in the past where when I type something (the way I want) and pressing space it would of course correct it to something else but when you backspace it goes back to MY word?

I've been so used to this for years since S3/S5 and even note3. I don't know if it ever came stock as I always rooted and rom'd but always worked that way. Can't find a setting in keyboard settings and tried 3rd party apps but no luck.

I really want this back on this phone. Overall I hate the functionality of the auto keyboard thus far but can live with it if the backspace option works.

I am 100% sure it's a software issue but because the support guy offered me the replacement I had nothing to loose. Hopefully Samsung give us some updates soon. I heard the US version got nj4 which fixed some issues especially with battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] admrl:
I recently just purchased a Wind Galaxy Note 4 on kijiji. My current carrier is Virgin/Bell and I am looking to get the full potential out of this phone. I have already sim unlocked the phone. After inserting my sim into the phone I realized that I am only getting 3g out of the phone. I did a bit of research and found out that my phone provider needs to run on band 4 to get LTE. Is there a way to enable LTE on my phone? Do I need to flash a different modem to my phone? Any help is greatly appreciated. I have root access to my phone as well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Brava27:
Could be your mobile network settings or apn settings. Double check. Also you need lte sim card
[Galaxy Note 4 General] spiderlily:
If you are looking to get the full Bell/Virgin package (as if you bought the phone from Bell/Virgin), change the csc. This will install the Bell/Virgin bloatware along with enabling the LTE option in settings. Use code *#272*IMEI#.

If you want to keep everything as is and just want to enable LTE, you can enable it using *#2263#.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] admrl:
You sir are my hero. Thank you so much. I was able to do it using *#2263#. Now I can get LTE. The only thing now is that I am unable to get 4G while making a phone call. Still reverts back to 3G. When I go into network mode it still says WCDMA/GSM. I believe my old phone was on HSPA/GSM/LTE. Maybe the changing the CSC will help. Im guessing the CSC is either BMC or VMC......
[Galaxy Note 4 General] spiderlily:
You are welcome.

The reason you are not seeing the LTE option in the network setting is because Wind hides it, since they don't have LTE to begin with.

I bought mine from Rogers and changed the CSC to Wind and everything works smoothly. Changing CSC from GLW to BMC or VMC with enable LTE in the network setting menu. Just remember it will factory reset the phone when you change the CSC.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nabobcoffee:
I purchased my Note 3 from windmobile to use it on Fido and i noticed the same thing. However when i flashed the Rogers or Bell ROM I saw the LTE option there. So maybe this is the same for your note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ciscostud:
Does winds even deploy there own LTE? From what I understand Wind is using HSPA+ 4g for most.

You can read here about it.

http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/carriers/wind-mobile-mobilicity-spectrum-lte-network/

Im from windsor ont. All I get is HSPA and its slow.

---------- Post added at 04:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

I'm on Wind. I dont understand how you can get LTE if its not even part of the wind network in certain areas.

Can you please fill me in how it works.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] admrl:
Super simplified: Wind only has towers that transmit certain bands. Bell/Virgin have towers that transmit different bands. Different carriers offer different speeds on various bands. Bell and Virgin have LTE on band 4. The note 4 can handle all the different bands that are currently transmitted in Canada all you have to do is select the band using the code above from spiderlily. BTW im from Windsor as well.

Right now im trying to figure out how to get regular HSPA+. The issue Im getting when trying to run the Bell or Virgin CSC is that during istall I get an "Android system recovery" prompt.... KTU84P.N910W8VLU1ANIH"........ "dm-verity verification failed..." Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ciscostud:
It sounds like you guys are saying I can get LTE as a Wind suscriber by using Rogers/bell towers. I didn't think that was possible.

Or am I missing something?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] spiderlily:
No, it's not about getting LTE on Wind. It's about getting LTE on Bell or VMC on an unlocked Wind Note 4 using Bell/VMC LTE sim cards. Or at least that's my understanding of the issue.

---------- Post added at 06:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 PM ----------

Try flashing a Bell firmware/rom with Odin. If the CSC doesn't change, then do that 272 code. You can get the stock rom from sammobile. I didn't encounter any errors when I changed my CSC.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] g2tegg:
Wind does not use LTE. It is extremely expensive to purchase LTE spectrum, and the top 3 (Bell, Telus and Rogers) will swallow Wind up at the auctions. It truly isnt fair for Wind, or the consumers.

A Wind phone has the AWS band enabled, and LTE disabled. He was trying to use it on Bell, which of course has LTE.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] admrl:
Did you try changing the CSC before flashing the rom? I am nervous about flashing right now. I downloaded the firmware from the following link:

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/ref-stock-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2920452

[Galaxy Note 4 General] spiderlily:
I downloaded mine here.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ but the XDA link should be fine.

Yes, you can just flash using Odin. Plain and easy. Make sure the erase nand option is UNCHECKED though.

Also yes, I changed my CSC and then flashed the firmware again to make sure I start fresh. The exact steps I did was:

1. Changed CSC. (Make sure you use the correct IMEI. Check your box or back of the phone.)

2. Went to recovery mode and clear cache and factory reset.

3. Went to download mode and flashed the firmware with Odin.

4. Set up phone as new.

I reason I reflashed the firmware because I was getting some lags and one poster commented that he reflashed the firmware and the phone was butter smooth. And my Note 4 is indeed smoother especially in ART mode.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] admrl:
I ended up flashing the firmware, after that I was able to change the CSC without the previous error. Now when I go into network modes I am able to select LTE! Thanks a bunch. What is ART mode and how do I enable it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
ART Is Android Run Time - It's the replacement for Dalvik in Android 5.0

You can enable it in Developer Options - Your phone will Reboot - It will take some time to rebuild the Cache - So DON'T panic.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] LeoNote4:
What is H+ on my phone? I'm with BELL. Shouldn't that say LTE?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:

Can anyone confirm that it is possible to flash a tmo rom on a w8 device. I mean someone who actually did. I'm still undecided about rooting and being able to flash one of those roms over on the tmo thread would definitely compell me to root.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
There's a bunch of us who are running T-Mobile Roms - you just have to flash the NJ3 kernel in the same recovery session as flashing the Rom - OR the phone won't boot - Twistedumbrella has been building the kernel for us as well - AND has been making great progress - I'm running Dynamic Kat - No issues at all
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mrnovanova:
Thanks for the reply. Sorry to make you repeat yourself. I did see you mention it to someone earlier I was just unsure of the results. Glad it works.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
This... I learned a while ago.. This is because lte technically is only used for data. The other 3g etc is what voice goes through.

I accidentally stumbled upon this with root app like "phone info".. When I forced only LTE network I couldn't place or receive calls.

All my phones switch to 3g only when calls are active and phones that don't just aren't showing you. Research it and you see that only data goes through the LTE.

So bottom line, nothing to worry about at all.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about in response to this guy's question of "How to enable LTE on his Wind phone".

You can try flashing the Bell firmware found here using ODIN: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/37552/N910W8VLU1ANJ3_N910W8OYA1ANJ3_VTR.zip

You can try to hop onto LTE (at least temporarily) by typing in *#2263# into the dialer and going to LTE Band Pref -> LTE All

The problem is the Snapdragon chipsets have the GSM / WCDMA / LTE bands programmed into them using Non volatile memory that persists across all firmware flashes. If the new firmware doesn't work after forcing the phone onto LTE you may have to follow this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56577252&postcount=455

This is one of the reasons I bought the phone from the carrier that I am actually going to use it with. I knew the LTE band compatibility was going to be hell.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 AM ----------

Hmm how can I do that? If I flash the tar.md5 in the PDA section (also where the kernel goes) the phone will reboot once its done.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
I don't know why you're trying to flash a T-Mobile Rom with Odin???

Flash the Rom with TWRP Recovery - While you're in Recovery - You also HAVE TO FLASH the NJ3 kernel zip BEFORE you Reboot!

Twistedumbrella has posted a StarKissed trltecan kernel zip - it's in his thread.

After you have your phone up and running - you can use Flashify to flash the updated NJ3 boot.img
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
For your info, been mentioned before, all Canadian notes are identical, hardware and software. Only difference is active csc, which can be easily changed, without root as well. Flashing bell firmware will not change active csc. Unlocked phone, Bell sim inside, and full factory reset, will.

Another way is with the code (can't remember exactly). Also using launchers like nova etc. that support "activities" in shortcuts, can be used to launch csc selector app, directly. And of course there's apps on play store, which might need root, but simplify things for some.

Do not use lte all, if you value your voice, as we don't have volte in Canada. You might be over-thinking it, as things are not that complicated, with this phone, when we're talking about Canadian Note, and Canadian providers.

No "compatibility hell" here.

Original user with the question, also has to note, that he needs lte sim, and that provider has to provision lte on his plan. Saying this, cause too many people have 10 year old sim in their phone (some full size, cut to fit phone).

I originally tried to change my CSC but I ended up getting some weird error, "Android system recovery" prompt.... KTU84P.N910W8VLU1ANIH"........ "dm-verity verification failed...". I couldn't figure out how to get around it, if you know that would be great for next time.

Never heard of this app that you are trying to use - I don't understand why you would try to use something other than TWRP or CWM?

If you haven't already - uninstall the app - You can try to Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin again - See if it boots into TWRP Recovery (Which Carrier and TWRP Version are you Flashing?)

If you're still having issues - I'd probably Odin back to stock - And start over...

[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
No need to panic - but you're probably going to need some patience - You can get the Stock Telus Firmware from sammobile.com - (You have to register in order to download - It's free).

I always make it a habit to download the stock Firmware to my pc - Before flashing any Roms... Just in case

Anyway go to sammobile.com - register and enter the model number - SM-N910W8 in the Search Field - You'll see the list of available Firmware - Telus is there... Unless you pay for the "high-speed" download - it's going to take a couple of hours.. At least (that's where the patience comes in ;)

Unlocked wind Note 4 on Rogers Network

Hi guys,

I am a newbie here, so sorry if I say something utterly stupid. I am considering purchasing a Note 4 from Wind and unlocking it to use with Rogers. I read from a previous post that I would need to change the CSC if I want to use Roger's LTE data. Is it as simple as that?

Thanks,

Ron.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Just curious? What's the advantage of buying from wind, in order to use on Rogers? As far as I can tell, price for both is 799 + tax. Unless you're talking about fact that there's more wind notes on kijiji for 800 cash, or you have family member on wind that signs tab and you get the phone.
