Whelp, looks like it may be hardware. Or could be driver related but it doesn't seem like something I can fix. Gonna try a clean flash and if that doesn't fix it I'll get it exchanged...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
You seem to be reporting "issues" a little too early especially since you just got your device today. If you search in this thread, it is stated many times...

LET IT SETTLE.

Additionally you didn't give much info. Did you follow the instructions in the OP? Did you Greenify some apps? Either way, I think you really just need to give it a couple days. I'm not seeing "huge" battery drains based in the screenshots you provided.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea check out wanam I'm pretty sure it has that option

I know it at least has these off hand...

Yep removed it, but also removed it from the drop down. Whatever tho. Any way to replace record back with add call?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

Jw if anyone has seen the official lollipop for the s5?...is it me or is that literally just the note 4 theme and apps we already have on 4.4.4 lmao...? It literally looks like a port of the n4 fw and theme?? Scratching head lol

Yea I don't want call record at all. And I tried what you said a few times and still there. Guess I'll have to get used to it
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea def for movies and games and stuff I could see it being amazing. ..especially as movies and games start being shot and created with them in mind...that's what I'm waiting to see...it's samsung they usually do it right...if they have a couple decent games and movies I think it's a decent option for entry into vr for sure...the n4 def has the balls to run it easily...esp if we could use a rom with it lol

And I don't even wanna think about encrypted lollipop lol...anandtech writeup was crushing showing some 50% performance hits in places and read write issues across the board vs unencrypted build of the same exact stock base...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: record button issue

Here is a twrp flashable zip file which should solve the problem you

have with the call record, this should make it revert back to stock.

Here is a direct download link in case you want to give it a shot:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/qc1m7yzj607kb08/phoneN4.zip

Before you flash I would suggest to disable wanam in the xpose framework app temporarily

so you can find out whether it was wanam which caused the call record to be always enabled.

After doing the above make sure to reboot the phone before flashing the zip file.

Be sure to make a nandroid backup before flashing this or anything else.

Good luck!

Once this rom settles after about 3-4 cycles the battery is ridiculous. Getting 6-7 hrs on screen time.

I'm psyched that I'm getting that now after just one battery charge cycle!

You don't have to say that again. It's unbelievable what mega has done with FK. I used to look forward to ROM updates and flashing new versions that fix bugs. Can't say that with FK. It's been the most stable, fastest and smoothest experience I've had thus far.

Hey Mega are there any camera modifications that would mess with progarms like Snapchat? I have this odd issue in low lighting when using the camera where it darkens almost after a second when making a video. Partway through recording a video it gets much darker, like someone turned off a light in the background. So far only noticed it on the front facing camera.

Has anyone been able to remove the battery percent text from the status bar? I scoured the settings menu 2 or 3 times, but can't find anything.

I'm using the 3minit battery mod and it just seems kind of silly having the percentage up there twice. Neither Wanam nor XBlast has the correct option, either.

I've got a quick question. I will first start by saying that the battery life on my phone is absolutely STUNNING as you will see from the screenshot I've posted.

My question is this: The "Awake" bar under battery history shows constantly on. Is this supposed to be like this? If not, what could be causing it and what exactly does "Awake" even mean?

Also, The Mobile Network Signal looks to be constant as well after a certain point.

Sorry for the newb-ish question. Just trying to understand. I did try and google with no luck.

Thanks guys!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] civicdelslow:
Any ideas on what could cause this or how I could troubleshoot it? What is the difference between "Awake" and "Screen on"?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Awake is slightly different in that "awake" can be from your apps keeping the system running screen on or off...screen on is just like it sounds....greenify is your answer here....use wake lock detector to help weed out which apps it's not...then narrow it down from there...apps like Facebook some Google ones ect they can all constantly keep your note running 24/7

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] civicdelslow:
Alrighty, I am already running Greenify. Strange thing is, when I go to the Greenify wizard I don't see all of my apps. I can't find Facebook and a few other apps to actually "Greenify" in it. Kinda strange. I have downloaded WakeLock Detector as you suggested. I will monitor it and let you know how it turns out.

Thanks for the help good sir.

It's because it's a system app so unless u pick greenify system apps or delete and reinstall the app as normal user it won't see it

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] civicdelslow:
Thanks guys...

I've got bigger problems now. For some reason my Google Play isn't installing apps. I have attempted to download WakeLock Detector and when I click "Install" it just sits there acting like it going to start downloading/installing but it never does anything. Tried reboot, tried installing a different app, tried installing from my desktop browser. Nothing is working.

No telling what I did. Probably something in Greenify. Just got to track it down now.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Ah, nevermind. I got the play store to download. Had to clear the cache and data.

I have download WakeLock Detector. Will monitor that. I have deleted a program called "MightyTEXT" that I was using to answer texts and see notifications from my desktop computer. That seems to have broken up the constant "Awake" and "Mobile Data" bars within Battery history.

I think the problem is most likely fixed at this point. But, I will continue to monitor it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] asaqwert:
So I've got a new problem.

I upgraded to V5 (full wipe etc, followed directions of OP1 and OP2 exactly). Everything seems to be alright, though I'm finding I'm getting some random reboots once in a while. Not all that often, but often enough that it's starting to get aggravating. I'm using the star kissed kernel (canadian) and I've tried fixing permissions. Everything was stock (stock firekat) up until today. Today I finally got around to putting wanam and xposed back on, and now I'm having another problem. There is SIGNIFICANT lag when the phone is locked and screen is off, and I hit the home or power button. I push one of the buttons, and it takes literally 1-3 seconds to turn the screen back on. This wouldn't be the end of the world in and of itself (assuming that I could eventually find a fix for it) but it also happens with phone calls. I've missed two calls today, as the screen doesn't turn on in time to answer it!

I have tried reverting all of the wanam settings, to no avail. Next thing to do is uninstall xposed and wanam and see if that helps, but I've no idea what it could be. The only other thing added at the same time was greenify, though I didn't actually set up greenifying anything new that wasn't done on the last run. Tried greenify with experimental settings on and off, again no avail.

Any ideas?

Yea it's just a case of find the culprit and get rid of it...Facebook I just uninstalled then installed apk or from play store then you can greenify it...i turn it off personally cuz I use it so little...as to the play store...they're updating it again. ..Idk if anyone else has had to re ok the play store ect they just pushed a new update so that could also be a factor... but to be quite honest. ..i occasionally pick up any of my random devices and the play store won't install or download ect and I have close the app and reopen ect. ..it just kinda crap like all Google apps unfortunately lol

Thanks alot dude I'm def glad you enjoy the builds...the plans for v6 is moving to the ank4 base. ..as imo there's nothing left to gain from the anj7 base...idk if the extremely small differences of ank4 will add much over v5...but it's the next best option for advancing the rom so that's what I'm thinking...sometime over winter break I'll tear apart the ank4 build fully and rebuild it into v5 then we'll go from there really as idk what else can be done from here to get more battery or performance so it will be small refinements here and there more than massive jumps as we've already pushed the n4 so far beyond what it was originally ....but im sure as hell gonna try an push if further lol
