Hammerhead | L Developer Preview Final
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Probably shouldn't whine around since it's a developer's preview but I agree with the above posts.. Battery life has been quite pathetic for me as well. Can't make it through a day on a single charge now.

Really missing ElementalX! :)
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Back on kk due to heavy battery drain .. On first preview battery life was awesome .. Don't know what's wrong in the new preview . i hope the final build will be better
[Nexus 5 General] c_86:
I highly doubt the final version will be any better. Less then a month away for final release. It takes a long time to find all those issues etc. It's going to be a work in progress for months.

The final version may be a bit better but I can't imagine 3 weeks is going to make a huge difference.
[Nexus 5 General] sjknight413:
Absolutely fine for me, same as KitKat.

You guys are doing something wrong.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Apparently not... People who have wiped everything and installed only gmail/tapatalk are also experiencing huge drains even after a few battery cycles.

In my case, the phone sleeps just fine and goes to deep sleep without any wakelocks. However, when I start using it, battery drops down every few minutes and it doesn't even last a day. The overall drain is too much. May be few of my most used apps aren't fully compatible with Lollipop and hence the drain...
[Nexus 5 General] mkz14:
I believe the final version is ages ahead of this preview. IMHO they probably had to set up a more or less stable build for developers to test the final API, It doesn't mean the final version got much more changes.

They probably got the tech stuff done and released it for developers without caring of other changes, just technical to make sure apps would work...

Battery for me is being horrible too, got many batdrains but I think It will be improved on the final version.
[Nexus 5 General] dannejanne:
At 65% battery now. Uptime 16 hours SoT 1 hour 44 min.

Lost 2% battery in 10 hours sleep this night while it was on wifi.

By the way this is the first battery cycle ever on this phone. Bought it yesterday, went home and flashed Lollipop right away then fully charged and started using it. So the usage has some app downloads etc.
[Nexus 5 General] marcomsousa:
The final version for Nexus 5 will not be in the 3/11.

Google will only update at that day the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, Nexus 9. (hardware without LTE).

Nexus 5 will be update to Android 5.0 later of November. (like Nexus 6)

I have this preview version and I see that the gpu driver need some polish.
[Nexus 5 General] Atok_fr:
Personally I get the same battery life on Lollipop than on Kitkat. Maybe little better especially when screen off. I had the "miscellaneous bug" and my battery suffered a lot but I removed many apps (G+ ?) and the battery consumption of the "miscellaneous" things drops to only few percents.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
part of the battery life drain is due to the much more aggressive on-demand settings
[Nexus 5 General] TonyHoyle:
Same here.. mostly the same battery life..

Overnight drain is reduced - the graph is pretty much horizontal during that time. Once you start using it though it doesn't seem any different.

Only thing I have installed currently is the google apps (chrome, G+, gmail, maps).

OK. I'm trying to install cyanogen mod on my at&t gs4. I am new to root, obviously. I've been watching wwjoshdew do a 30 minute install video that seems to go really in depth but my problem lies with the custom recovery I installed, PhilZ. I installed extracted it and tried doing a manual recovery. I got the message software found on your system has not been authorized by at&t or something similar to that. I took out my battery and booted up into download mode and hit start device normally or whatever it says exactly. Then I tried using a flasher from the play store and same thing. I would like a fix to this (without Odin if possible). I am afraid to continue without help to avoid bricking my phone.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
I noticed that the back capacitive button is not as sensitive as the multi-task capacitive button. At first, I thought I wasn't pressing the back button at the right place, but after testing it, it turns out that the bottom of the lit area requires much more pressure before it registers a touch. I compared it against the multi-task button and the Galaxy Note 3. Unfortunately, it appears that my Galaxy Note 4 capacitive back button does not register touches on the bottom half unless more pressure is used. Interestingly, the back capacitive button responds to the slightest stylus touch.

I do have a Spigen screen protector on, but it does not affect the sensitivity of the multi-task button, so I figure it doesn't affect the back button, either.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance.

I thought I was going crazy staring at every press on the back button. I have the same issue. Have to press it more then once. I just used my spen and noticed that the top of the back button above the arrow does not register a touch. The multitasking button does on the top and bottom.

Glad and sad to know that I'm not alone. It looks like a hardware issue to me, but it might be something that affects most of the phones. I'm waiting to see if other people reply to this thread without this issue.

This issue is annoying, but it's not worth exchanging if I receive a unit that's the same, worse, or has a bad screen (I read a review where the reviewer said his unit had dead/stuck pixels near the top, though it could be a review unit concern). I'm going to the Sprint Store to check out the display unit to compare it against mine. If the display unit has a proper back button, then I might consider.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
Checked out the display unit and its back button was far more functional. Exchanged mine and the newer one also has a better capacitive back button.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:
I think I might return mine too. It seems like the top of mine is not very responsive at all. Did you have a glass screen protector on?

Mine is also not as sensitive as I'm use to. Maybe it's meant to be that way though? It's a possibility Samsung did that to reduce the instances of accidental back button presses, but that's just a wild guess.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:
That makes sense but why don't we have many people complaining about it? Is this a real issue or people are thinking they are not pressing the button correctly.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
I'm sorry to hear about that. I had a Spigen Crystal screen protector on, but it did not affect the sensitivity, as the multi-task button worked perfectly. It was definitely a hardware issue solely. I applied another Spigen Crystal to the new phone and there are no issues (it came in a 3-pack).

I don't think many people are complaining about it because it's only affecting a small percentage.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
I don't think that it's intended. When I took it back to the Sprint Store, the sales rep tried it out and instantly recognized that it was defective. The display unit and my new unit both have proper sensitivity.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2ndammendment:
Well, I'm trying to get my unit replaced for a separate issue(screen is green towards the bottom and pink towards the top), so I will report back. Too bad every store in a 30mi radius is sold out.

Same Issue Here

I am having the exact same problem with the back button... my struggles with getting it to work properly led me to search for others with the same issue. I'm glad that I am reading that it is not all the devices and that exchanging the Note 4 for a new one may solve the problem, as it did for a previous poster. It is frustrating that the local Verizon store does not have them in stock, and doesn't know when they will... so I guess I'll wait it out - kills the high of getting to play with/setup the new Note 4...: :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:
OK I exchanged mine today will report back. So far it seems a bit better but not by much. Also replaced phone and got one with a gap. Oh well rather gap then a bad back button.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buildsafire:
What kind of gap does your new phone have?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedeadletters:
I have seen that screen uniformity issue in both the Note 3 and the Note 4. As far as I can tell, every Note 4 is going to have it to some degree. I was pretty upset about it with the Note 3 and exchanged it for one that wasn't as bad. I noticed it on 3 Note 4s, with some being worse than others. I hope you're able to get an improved one!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borijess:
The gap is around the top left corner. Not bad but the first one I had was pretty much gap free. Doesn't really matter that much cause I have a case that covers it. Out of sight out of mind. So the back button seems to be better with new note. Glad I made the exchange. The only thing is that I lost my glass screen protector. Didn't want to take it off cause it would be useless to me anyways. So I applied a screen protector from my note 2. Works great covered the entire screen. The only thing it doesn't reach to the top. Just something to hold me over until I get some news ones. Also this phone seems to be much quicker than the last one. Could be a placebo effect. I also lucked on a new charger and spen tips. Guy at best buy left charger and tips. I just exchanged phone. :thumbup:

So my replacement Note 4 is exactly the same as my old one, the back button isn't as sensitive as the recents button. Honestly it's not that bad I just have to press like 30% harder than I had to with my S4(that thing was crazy sensitive).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miaoumaiden:
Seriously thought I was losing it when this started happening to me, glad I'm not alone. It's not horrible or anything but I have definitely noticed that it's not as sensitive as other samsung phones I've used. I thought it was just the way I was hitting the button. Not sure if it's worth exchanging though with no guarantee of it getting better...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Unabomber:
It appears as if the area on the back button isn't as large as the other. This may be why it's not as sensitive.

I've noticed you really have to touch it in the right area for it to register. I'm not sure if this is by design or a defect. I know that on my note 2 I was always hitting the back button by mistake.

I started playing with it more and started to lightly swipe from left to right on each button. It was very easy to get the back button to not register it at all. The other button was more difficult to get it to not register.

Does anyone else have anymore feedback on the issue? I'm torn if I should even consider doing an exchange with my device.

Back Issue Reason

I signed up for this forum so I could tell you all the reason to this issue!

So like you all, I thought I was going crazy about the back button not working right! I kept trying different ways of pressing it and sometimes it would work and other times it didn't, and it seemed to be getting worse. However, the pen was perfect! So on the same day as I received it from Verizon, and after an hour on the phone with tech support with all the factory resets and other tests, I went to the Verizon store for a replacement. I was lucky that they had one in stock! They did all their tests, too, and the guy was trying to tell me I had to press harder and that it worked. I told him I shouldn't have to press harder and that I wanted a new one. So after he handed me the new phone, I instantly felt that the bottom of the phone seemed flatter and the buttons worked much better! I asked for my old phone back and voila, I found the problem! The bottom of the screen below the back button is not sitting level with the metal trim like the new one, nor like the rest of the phone! That is why you have to press so hard. It isn't close enough to the sensitivity chip for your finger to register, but the pen was ok due to how that works.

So, take it back as it is a hardware issue!!!! And, taking it back doesn't count towards your exchange for any provider or Best Buy. It is defective! I would also do this as soon as you can, because as you know, they will exchange it with a refurbished one. I got a new one, because they didn't have any refurbished ones yet as I took it back the same day!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Unabomber:
I'm still torn on what to do. I'm not sure what's going on.

I'll look at the screen but doubt there is anything going on there.

I've got an Otterbox on mine so I'll take it off and look later.

To those who have replaced their phones do you have cases or screen protectors on them? Are you able to take your index finger and very, very lightly swipe the capacative buttons left to right withouth them registering in?

On my phone I don't really have to press harder per say, I just need to touch the back button very precisely.

Shrug.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdelrosa:
I didnt have a screen protector on it and I could sometimes be able to make it work as you asked. However, the Verizon person asked me if I did have one on it as it did appear so because of the glass being higher than the trim.

I hope you are able to either get this working better or get a good replacement!

This is exactly what is up with mine. The right hand side of the Note 4 is slighty raised thus making the back key a tiny bit less sensitive. I dont know if it is as serious as other peoples on this thread but it is still annoying. However I can live with it so at this point I dont think I'll return it. The staff at the shop would probably laugh at me for somethint so small if i returned it anyway lol XD

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezar:
Had the same issue which drove me nuts. For my phone at least, though, the problem seems to be only a smaller area on the button than I am used to registers.

So instead of pressing the button now with only the tip of my thumb, I started using the wider pad of my thumb to do it (sort of like your thumb is being fingerprinted) , and now it registers pretty 100% of the time with the slightest touch.

I had the exact same issue. I indeed noticed the lower right corner glass being very slightly on a higher level than then left one.

This shouldnt be happening on a 50$ phone, let alone this one....

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mumraa:
Yes I too thought the back button was not very good and wondered if it was busted. I even became convinced it wasn't as sensitive as the left side button. But as I investigated I realised I was wrong. I'm not saying everyone here is imagining things but there are a few things to consider. One is that the phone is large and so not only does this make the back button smaller in size comparatively but I also tend to hit it with the side of my finger which is not very conductive think and so it does not trigger. Also I noticed in chrome sometimes I press it and nothing happens so I press it again but in fact I had hit it the first time it was just waiting for the internet so done things I ended up blaming on the button.I also tried a show room note 4 and find it basically the same and compared to a s3 too. I wonder if it's something to do with the back button being hit easily if it's larger on this phone but I for one would of liked a larger area for it. Also using the pen seems to improve the use of it and other features worth trying sometimes...anyway I was getting close to repairing but I reckon it's not a fault. Possibly some guys here had an actual fault but my money is on some falling for a placebo effect. I think maybe having a lip from a case might help a little too I will try this next...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quadlt:
This is probably a whole another cause and not the right topic to post in, but my back button went completely derp today, it wouldn't do anything but the vibration was still in there. Most probably a lollipop software bug, but still weird. Thank god a simple reboot helped.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James62370:
Stumbled upon this thread after returning my original Note 4 due to GPS not able to obtain a lock. My first replacement was a refurbished 910T. The GPS worked great, but was wondering why the back button was not very sensitive. However, this back button issue was really bugging me since my original did not have this sensitivity issue. After reading this thread, I was convinced it was a hardware issue.

I called and got a second replacement. They sent me a brand new 910T3. To my surprise, this new one manufactured on September 2015 also has this issue.

What are the odds of getting two defective units with the same issue? I have other Samsung products such as the Note 2 and the Tab S. None have this back button issue. I do not notice the right side of the glass any higher than the left as described by others in this thread. If I press down hard on the back button it appears to help temporarily but eventually it is no longer sensitive again.

I've gone to retail stores and tested other Note 4's, all work properly and are very sensitive. The slightest tough registers. However, with my last two replacements, the only way for it to register each time is to use my entire finger or pressing harder. A light tap often does not register at all.

I've called Samsung about this issue and the rep stated there are no such complaints in their database. Apparently I'm the first person to complain about it so they have now entered it into their systems. They stated I can send my unit in for diagnosis. Which means another 15 business days without a phone. I advise it's still under warranty with T-Mobile and will most likely send it back to them for replacement.

At this point, I'm not sure what to do. I guess after enough annoyance, eventually will just get use to it.

Contemplating on sending it back but not sure if it will help. Will most likely get a refurbished one :(

SM-N910F low Back button sensitivity

Yeah, I thought Samsung has covered all the faults SM-N910F had since it was manufactured for over a year now. I spend 445 EUR + shipping. Martin Fields screen protector was applied by me before first launch. Very soon I've discovered low sensitivity of the Back button and now I can clearly see that the bottom right corner of display glass is slightly higher than the left corner (don't blame Martin Fields protector - it's perfect). That low sensitivity sometimes makes me mad especially when I'm in hurry. Now I'm writing a letter about this problem to the store where I've ordered it (computeruniverse.net). Can't use my SM-N910F anymore.

My handset was made in Vietnam on Sept 2015.
