I've been lucky enough to not get the message about my 3gb being up. Used 60gb this month and most of it is from tethering.

On my Nexus 6 running chroma rom I am definitely getting tracked.

When using that app I am not so I suggest every one to give it a shot.

Tk Simmons aka total tech media on YouTube just put up a tutorial on how to set it up. If I can find it I'll post the link

Just proving my point...Following op2 100% greenify all apps advised brightness at 30% full signal all day regular use just browsing and regular use of cell, i can get maximum of 6 hours of sot on 3 different note 4s with firekat v11. There is no way in the world any rom to date could give you more than that. And for that i applaud you maga, great work and at the same time thank you, cause i have an idea of how much work you had to put in to achieving that. Sorry again mega for doing this here. I really have nothing but respect for ur work here. Mod Edit

Lmaoooo 4 chargers
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Yep.. I just make it up or photoshop screenshots! LOL! Everyone and every phone/setup is different..

I guess I'm sorry you get great battery life but have trouble getting a couple more hours out if it?

Glad this is "the last we'll hear from you" :)

Ps.. There are a LOT of ways to get much more life (for us rooters and tweakers).. It's called undervolting, underclocking, underdisplaying, etc, etc but that isn't even necessary here with this phone and rom :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RiverCity.45:
Doesn't this image show 3 additional charging periods? Invalidates this particular claim, since what everyone else means when they describe their SOT is a single charge.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] markysd:
Ok been a while.. still on v5.. been loving it.. time to update my tmo n4..

Can I download the latest update from my phone and just flash it from TWRP ?

Kind of confused that I have to Odin Flash Stock ANK4 via Odin???? Don't have my laptop with me..

Sorry for the new bee faq lol been a while.. don't want a dummy useless phone if something goes wacko and I don't have my laptop just incase I need it..

Thanks ..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SPreston2001:
I agree with you man. I'm not sure how some people are claiming to get 2-3 days use out of the phone on a single charge. They must barely touch the phone and not have any background apps pulling emails n such lol. I can get all day battery out of the N4 running FK but if I don't put it on the charger at night I'm gonna be in for a long day the next morning lol. I've owned numerous phones over the years running custom Roms and never got the claims of people achieving these crazy battery life times lol. I use my phone moderately with Facebook browsing, Instagram, email, texts, phone calls, Dropbox backups, etc and I consider that normal usage. With that I'm still at about 15% battery come 10-11pm after unplugging at 6:30am. I even keep my brightness turned down to -3!!

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

You see those green uphills on your battery graphic? Those indicate battery charges lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] DutchDogg54:
To clarify - [MENTION=5620082]AlbGol[/MENTION]'s screenshot is purposefully sarcastic as it clearly shows 3 charges to accomplish the SOT that he had.

I'm not trying to get in the middle of this, but I'll just state that battery life is a VERY subjective stat on devices like this. You could literally turn on the screen and set the time out to 30 minutes, touching it every 28 or 29 minutes and achieve crazy times because the processor isn't' working, the screen isn't being touched, the data/wifi connections aren't being actively used, etc. It's certainly possible to get the screen to stay on for a very long time, but to have it USED for a very long time is a battle that everyone who owns a smartphone will be engaged in for the remainder of time, or at least until someone creates an infinitely more efficient battery.

If you have exceptional results and feel like posting in the thread about it, please, do us all a favor & include exact specifications as to how you obtained it. Otherwise, it's like someone showing off their brand new fancy toy but not sharing with anyone - rude, in other words. Undervolting, underclocking and under-displaying (whatever that is, brightness?) are not anywhere near enough to accomplish 9-10 hours of SOT on the stock battery, that's just the plain facts about it. To do this, data connections need to have been turned off, or other "crippling" tactics employed for most users. If it is enough for you or someone else, then you are in special circumstances & I ask that you enjoy your special situation and keep it out of the forums, as it will only cause problems for the non-super hero among us.

[MENTION=5620082]AlbGol[/MENTION] - I cleaned your post because it contained many unnecessary and inflammatory phrases - please, control your frustration and keep it to your self or off the public forums.

Carry on with the great development around here. Thank you.

If your already on the NK4 base and have only run FK on your device than okay to just wipe and flash. ie- running nk4 coming from v5 FK to current no odin needed...just full wipe and flash

If your on the old base still and/or have flashed another rom other than FK you need to odin.

It says the same in the OP i just shortened it a little :thumbup:

OK I did flash 5.0.1 lollipop then went back to my nandrod back up 4.4.4 fk v5..

So I'm good to go ? Just download the latest update and fully wipe correct?

Thanks.. this my last new bee question. :silly:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
I did the same thing a week ago. I flashed one of the Canadian Lollipop ROMs. Not everything worked as good as I wanted. So I just restored from an nandroid backup of 4.4.4 and everything is fine for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Face_Plant:
According to your screenshot you're on NJ7. You'll need to Odin to stock NK4 before flashing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] markysd:
I see.. so I'm on good to go to the latest update? or I need odin ?

Yeah, I'm already on the latest base, so I was able to just wipe and restore in TWRP. In your case Odin to the new base.

Been a while on V11X

I haven't chimed in about my post V11X install yet. I've been beating on my Note 4 and can get +/- 36 hours on the battery and +/- 4 hours SOT. In the work I do, the family lifestyle I have, Mega added value to my Note 4.

He made an effort to squeeze all we can out of a Note 4. I'm grateful for his work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I do not have any screenshots but after my next full charge I will monitor my phone and post my results. I consistently get 1 day and 15 hr of battery life. I hit 4.5-5 hr of screen time. All this is achieved with my clock speed being clocked at min 1400ghz/max 2600ghz, interactive governor and ROW for I/O scheduler. When I set the clock speed to stock i hit 1 day 20hr to 2 days of battery life with 5-6 hours of screen time.

My usage is:

forums

-internet browsing

-youtube (1-2 hours)

-voice calls (1-2 hours/day)

-ALOT of texting, alot of s-pen usage

-music listening

-picture taking

-emailing and 2 email accounts constantly synced (work account and personal account)

-GPS navigation

Basically general day to day stuff a regular person does on his device. I have wifi, mobile data, locations, sound, screen rotate, adaptive display, air view, hands free mode,sync all ON 24/7. Brightness is on MAX 24/7 (none of this auto crap). I just followed Mega's instructions with OP2 and I am achieving amazing results compared to any device at stock. My Wake Lock Detector fluctuates between 1-4%, average 2%. Over the weekends I get slightly better battery life due to my accounts sync schedule. I am using a used samsung battery so I assume a new official samsung battery would produce better results. Either way I will post my results by the end of the week. The average tho, at my settings (basically max settings and brightness everything turned on) you should get 30 hr of usage and 4.5-5 hours of screen time.

Thank you Mega for this work of art! :o

Lol well I don't get 30hrs. Maybe I use my phone more than average but I need to charge my phone daily regardless what ROM I'm running. I don't consider myself a heavy user but I certainty do use my phone fairly often during my daily routine.... I don't practice turning off radios or gps, underclocking etc. I just load up a solid stable ROM and rock out...

FONESALESMAN N4 SlimPWRcard

This came in last Thursday and I finally set it up over the weekend. Time to report!

It works as advertised, I'm happy to report! I started charging after my phone died and turned itself off. After one hour it managed a discouraging 23% charge! From 11:59 pm to 3:44 am, it reached 100% (I'm an insomniac)!

I tested the next day with G Wallet, and it works! Also tested sending files back and forth between Galaxy phones and that works too! You have to slide your phone up or down to match up the NFC chips because with this card it's at the bottom not the center of the phone. The only annoying thing was having to place it spot on to get the charger connection to maintain itself. This card is not as forgiving in placement as others I've had and if it's not spot on, charging will stop after about ten seconds (that's with the Nokia charging plate I'm using). Good excuse to spend money on a charger with three coils, lol! The really surprising thing is there is very little heat gain compared to others I've had! My guess is that the rf shielding is better on this card? It really stays fairly cool for wireless charging!

The circuitry is near the top of the card which means the tiny bulge is near the heart rate/UV sensor. I've never used it so I can't/won't report on whether it is affected by this cards presence. I'm using a Caseology bumper which hardly shows a bump at all.

In short, my opinion is that wireless charging is still mostly a gimmick given the slow rate of charge. However, if you want to ditch a wire connection while your phone slowly charges while you're working, sleeping, (or in my case), attempting to sleep, you can't go wrong with this!

Google Now

Has anyone else noticed Google Now not working properly?

I really like Google Now, but for the past few weeks maybe 2 months or more, it isn't as responsive as normal. There are a couple different scenarios: Either you say "OK Google" and nothing happens, or you hit the microphone button and nothing happens. So, you hit the microphone button again and then have to tap it again to reactivate and then sometimes it will listen and register what you're saying. I've been trying to figure out what is going on, but it's too inconsistent to figure out. I have also searched many times in the past few weeks and I haven't found anything. Maybe I am searching the wrong key words. I have even uninstalled it and reinstalled several different previous versions to figure it out. Unfortunately, it ends up updating itself before I am able to come up with a conclusive verdict.

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
It's for both! The first versions of these cards for the N4 did not have dedicated NFC chips. NFC chips are now in the battery. As a result the charging coils interfered with all NFC functions which made a lot of folks unhappy. I'm not sure when NFC was incorporated into the battery, but I am sure this was not the case with the GS3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea man just in general I've noticed several weird issues with the various google apps over the past few months...imo it's them trying to make the same servers and apps compatible stable and efficient for 4 or 5 android versions as they work thru the lollipop issues ...so like right now they support gnow from 4.1.2 up...which means they have to try an fix all the issues lollipop is having while maintaining the lower androids properly functioning ect and its been brutal ..they've ended up breaking the kk and jb versions...unfortunately it seems likely that this trend will continue of break it and fix for a while as lollipop compatibility and function has some problems that really need sorted as well as fixing our setups back to something less than 30% drain running google apps

add on top of all this the upcoming split into aarch64 and aarch32 will only serve to further complicate the issue with every app imo...gonna be a rocky road lol that's why I'm happy to have fk nailed down as alot of these upcoming changes may not necessarily be for the best depending

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I actually think that tap 'n' pay works better than using the one in the battery. I like this company too because I had their first version without the dedicated chip, and that one didn't work out so well. However, they still gave my money back although I had to pay the shipping! :angel:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Have you guys ever gotten to use them anywhere to pay for stuff?

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I've given up on Now working properly until we get a lollipop build from Mega. NK4 ruined it imo! I agree with everything you wrote except for me it started as soon as I flashed stock NK4 and continued on Mega's Firekat version. That's been longer than two months.

I have a screen shot of a completed sale at Subway in my post!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
I had no idea the NFC was in the battery. I haven't really used GP much. My one experience was not successful and therefore haven't tried again, even though looking back, I think all I needed to do was swipe my phone again. Of course, the person at the register had no idea how to use it either, so that didn't help. Maybe I'll try an after-market rig. Though, I have no need for wireless charging since I only charge while I'm sleeping anyway and that didn't cost any extra.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh I got you i didn't realize what it was glancing over it

Yea dude its been like that on every device i have starting around 2.5 months ago or so I started hearing all kinds of weird issues and experience those bizarre days of extreme drain myself..google apps have just been a mess across the board

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Well, that's just another thing to lay at Google's door! Waltz into McDonald's and all you have to do is tap your phone on the sensor, that's it! Go to Chevron, you tap your phone then you must choose credit on the screen and not debit. Then you must use your G Wallet pin or it won't work! Go to T-Mobile to pay for something and you have to tap twice??? Then if I remember correctly the cashier chooses credit, then you sign on the screen! Subway, tap twice and hope their cranky hardware finishes the transaction! Before 7Eleven stopped taking Wallet it was like Mickie D's, just one tap and you were done. I've never gone to the slew of hair salons, massage parlors or Home Depots where you can use Wallet, so I don't know what that experience is like. It's not a standard implementation to say the least!

---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

EDIT: Oh yeah, I still get people who have never seen G Wallet in action and don't know what to do! I have to teach them!!! And now Google is coming out with Google Pay! Who knows how that will work?!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
That's awesome! I've been wanting to re-try it, but since I don't know what to do and I know most cashiers don't either, I'm afraid to look like an idiot, so I just whip out my card instead. Maybe I'll finally try it again. The first fine was when tap and pay for wallet was brand new. Maybe it's better now.

You know, I think that's my secret! I don't mind looking like an idiot, lol! Seriously though, Google made little to no attempt to teach Android users much less vendors how to use Wallet! You'll get some weird stares sometimes when a payment goes through, even today! Rite Aid was the worst, they'd practically accuse you of somehow stealing stuff, then they just disabled their hardware, lol! You could see in their eyes they just wanted to call security when you paid with your phone! It was funny!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] MrAwesome75:
Haha. Yeah, it kind of feels like stealing when you use your phone. I've still never done it but sometimes I see the "tap n pay" symbol and I think, "I could use my phone to pay." Then I realize, the money is coming out of the same place; it's not free just because I get to use my phone. HAHA!
