Well that's pretty normal considering all the android system does...it should either be android system or screen...but don't get hung up on wake lock Detector or battery stats they're only tools...the context of your actual battery efficiency is all that matters...i dont even use wake lock Detector after the second day of a flash unless an app update starts causing issues...as long as your screen on time and standby are good just use the tools for information in context...as long as you use your real battery life as your benchmark and the data from wld as an adjustment tool with greenify you'll be set to forget about it and just enjoy your note.

Yes it's the barely breaking three hours of screen time that bothers me. And I looked at all my app they are all greenified I don't know what's causing the battery drain.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Just look at what you don't have greenified...read my op2...and check your mods aren't conflicting...the thing about battery life is its a standard only deviating by individual apps/setup so once you track down the cause you'll be set...but wld won't really show it if it never sleeps

At 3 hours are you using power saving...thats just about stock...?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] pham818:
same here dude. i'm getting a lot of battery drain from android system. this battery life on this rom is the same as stock for me right now because of this. but i had this problem on stock too. the screen maxes around 4 hours screen time at 40%~ brightness.

EDIT: when you guys do a clean install, when you set up the rom do you choose for it to back up and download all your apps again? do you guys think this affects anything with my "android system" battery drain?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mje2004:
When I open the camera app then access the gallery app from the camera app, the gallery opens in multi window mode. My problem comes when I back out of the gallery app to go back to the camera app only, the shutter button no longer works. I can't take any pictures after accessing the gallery app from the camera app.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
That's strange. Do you have another camera app installed by any chance?

No issues here.... I shoot and take a lot of videos on a daily basis .... I'm curious now as to what may be causing that.

Did you clean flash the ROM?

* I've noticed you're from the islands as well...right on brah...Aloha.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mje2004:
No I'm using the stock app. I did clean install. It only happens if I have "open in multi window view" enabled in the multi window settings. After accessing the gallery using the camera app I can no longer trigger the shutter to take pics. Six because I like having that option enabled. I disabled it for now though. Yeah I'm near the HNL airport. Aloha!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
I've just replicated exactly what you've described and it's working fine for me. It isn't the ROM ... There's has to be something that is causing this, perhaps a setting, app, or something....If anything, I'd do a clean install again. Make sure to wipe then advance wipe everything except internal and external storage.

Hope it works out! I'm off to bed brah...catching some waves in the morning...

Aloha.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Mje2004:
Just to make sure you:

1. Enabled "open in multi view mode" in multi window settings

2. Opened the stock camera app

3. opened the gallery from the little gallery box on the bottom left corner of camera app

4. Saw both open simultaneously in two separate windows on same screen

5. Then backed out of gallery using back button only going back to active camera app

6. Then tried to take picture using on screen shutter button

And it worked?

This probably would be tough for me to solve since I do have xposed and Wanam installed. Maybe they are causing my issues. They give too many pros to cons though for me to uninstall. Sux, I definitely don't want to reflash just for this problem though. I spent a lot of time setting it all up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
Precisely. Works fine for me.

It must be a setting thing, possibly wanam/xpose. Let's wait and see what Mega says about it.

Anyone having issues with the phone getting warm???
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Does the note get warm ever? Yes if I'm running screen on for about 40 mins straight it'll get where I can feel a temp difference. ..if it's anywhere like stock somethings wrong...my note idles almost 17 degrees cooler on v3 than stock did..i can't remember the last dim screen i saw...maybe v1? So if your note is more than lukewarm check somethings up

Average battery temp of stock 97 degrees

Average bagger temp on v3 appx 73 to 75 degrees

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] messiahfreedom:
Is there anyway to edit how sharp the gallery makes pictures? The stock gallery over sharpens pictures and I don't want to switch to another one.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No I don't think so? I've never noticed a change of my photos honestly are you sure you're not just noticing how sharp the camera actually takes the photo? Cuz n4 def has thr most detailed sharp pics I've ever seen incredibly detailed

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] messiahfreedom:
I dont think thats it as i literally see a filter applied to the photos once opened in the stock gallery. When i press the

recents button, i see the filter removed before showing recents, so i know for sure something is going on.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Idk man just check the way photos look on another gallery an compare it...i honestly think your simply seeing the rendering if the photos some needing up scaled to 2k but you may have something different going on idk compare it to another gallery...my photos all looks thr same regardless if i use Google gallery, lenovo or samsung tbh

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
Yes you can flash v3 if coming from stock rom as long as you make sure

that your baseband is NJ7 and do a complete wipe in twrp before flashing.

If your baseband is NIH you will need to odin flash the NJ7 firmware first.

The latest NJ7 firmware can be found at http://SamMobile.com

When i attempt to screen shot, boom, filter lifted then shot is taken, so i cant screen the filtered version of a pic.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] iunlock:
That's strange.

Going back to why I was asking about whether you had an aftermarket battery, I remember on my note 2 and note 3, that whenever I was using an aftermarket battery, the screen/pictures would look really strange. Noticabily different. Sometimes washed out, sometimes filtered like what you're experiencing now.

Aside to it possibly being a screen issue, I think it's more software related. Perhaps voltage related. Sounds crazy I know, but like you I know what I saw and have experienced with uneven power or whatever it was at the time.

Try changing out the battery if you have another Note 4 near by and see if it continues.

Maybe clean flash again too? Maybe some settings in your tweaks are playing funny...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] messiahfreedom:
Man, my battery life just began to settle. Its outrageous the life im getting. I dont want to reset that. I took the advice of another forum member and downloaded quickpic. It shows the pictures in their proper quality to for now ill just use that. It seems only the stock gallery had this problem.

When we do that does that erase all data on the phone? thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Art Vandelay:
Pardon my ignorance, but I have a question about IMEI numbers.

I unlocked my TMo Note 4 to use with my ATT SIM, and everything worked great. LTE, voice, etc was working. A little after flashing V1, I noticed it was only connecting to 4G and not LTE.

After checking APNs, reflashing all versions, etc, I chatted with ATT and they said my IMEI matches a Blackberry and can't change it.

Could this have happened somehow via flashing, and can I fix it? Would ODIN-ing back to stock help?

I'm an experienced flasher, but never had this issue.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You're imei number is hard coded from the manufacturer not only to the firmware of your particular phone, but the hardware as well...I think it's even tagged on your box and manual as well if I'm honest...its just like a serial number...I've heard of altering the imei thru extreme hacking forcefully to try and use a stolen phone but I've never heard of odin flashing stock roms or using twrp messing with your imei...think the roms you flash in recovery don't even have a baseband or bootloader in them...thats really strange...I'd be returning thr Note In a hurry...im in the same boat...bought outright on tmo...use with grandfathered unlimited att...no issues lte as fast as always so that's really really strange man...never heard of it before in quite a few builds and interactions with people here for several years

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
re: flashing roms and firmwares

It does not delete all data in the phone, that's why it's always best to do a full &

complete wipe which includes Wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache and last

but not least a factory reset in twrp recovery.

Most of the issues after flashing any custom roms or stock firmwares arise from

not doing a complete wipe before odin flashing firmware and or not doing a full

and complete wipe before using twrp to flash the custom zip file roms.

It's always best to make a nandroid backup before flashing any roms, mods or firmwares.

Good luck!

Flashing this ROM cold not have changed your IMEI. How was your phone unlocked to use AT&T? If one of those octopus boxes, (or whatever they are called), was used, then that's possible. It's not nearly as easy to do anymore (alter IMEI) and it's not without expense, but it can still be done. I know because that's what happened with my Swappa bought Note 3!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
Not quite. It's stored in a hidden / protected section of the phone. When you do an EFS backup, that is what you are attempting to store, among other things. Usually when Odin corrupts the nv_data you get a brick, not a Blackberry. That sounds like what happens when attempting to spoof the provider for a specialty plan or unlocks the device for a different service (by editing the nv_data to bypass an unlock code)

If a return isn't possible, you may be able to get help from http://xdaforums.com/note-4/orig-development/efs-imei-backup-tool-t2902811

The only experience I've ever had remotely close to this is when I helped a friend back in the day flash his HTC Evo. ..apparently it made his US based phone think it was an international variant, but nothing close to it saying a dog's a cat. That's really strange. Think of the imei as an engraved tattoo. It takes a lot more than an eraser to alter it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
No? Huh that's really weird...wonder what all these matching imei numbers are in the box, under the battery and throughout the internals..? Lol

There is obviosuly the one imei integrated with your efs/modem info but that's a soft brick opt out and has pretty much always been fixed by swap modem.img and try to reinitialze the efs/imei but almost always you need a backup of your efs to start with... but aa you and I both know it doesn't jump to another manufacturers imei code lol it soft bricks your device until sorted if thats ever the case lol invalid imei kicks back a no boot in every case I've ever seen

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Unfortunately the systems drastically changed since 2011...i would look for a much more applicable fix than this or the efs/imei nvdata patch as its a bit sketchy and relies on already having an efs backup...esp this early on to have an 800 dollar device in limbo...but tbh I can't imagine an imei corruption that simply removed 4G lte and didn't soft brick/no boot his device...that's why I suggest a return if possible as that's the type of issue you def don't wanna be dealing with especially this early on

Boot up TWRP, select advanced backup, take an inventory of the available items, then look at the post...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
But that's efs...thats the entire efs partition dude not just your imei number...imei is a specified code to an individual device assigned by the manufacturer...the efs is simply where the firmware bits of the modem information are for your imei is just one of the parts of that partitions. ..it's just a piece of the efs files..which should be apart of his stock rooted backup

Ever had a corrupt download still open but miss a part? Same idea. Besides, it was more likely the unlocking than that anyway. No need to get defensive. Nobody is blaming you.

And as for an apk, you are right. It is exactly like making a backup of the system and me saying only a few memory addresses were corrupted during the write (which is, again, not your fault).

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] twistedumbrella:
I turned a Sprint Evo3d into a Verizon Thunderbolt. The IMEI wasn't "thunderbolt" encoded in hex, that was just the device originally assigned to the one that was written. Some blackberry could have been a digit off. This is all one of those lightning striking the same place twice scenarios, though.

Ironically, the passcode to break into nv_data on HTC is open_sesame
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Oh undoubtedly....i mean I've probably flashed my different devices something like 600 times...probably a 800 between stock odin flashes and roms...and never had a corrupted imei or efs partition issue myself...just stumbled across them really very rarely...or truly is a lightning strike twice situation if that's what it turns out to be...hopefully he's still within his return window as that be his best bet imo

If he has a proper backup...restores the backup along with the efs partition...then runs odin stock flash of ANJ7 is probably the best possible scenario for restoring it on his on imo...does anyone know if he made any backups?

However, my BT stereo headphones seem no louder, at all. The same change to the mixerpaths.xml file on the other ROM worked on my BT stereo headphones. Any ideas?

It should work just fine...but by doing these changes necessary for viper i what im guessing was the interference with with the other audio mod you made...i pre set the above lines to make viper work consistently on 4.4.4...if you'd rather user your other mod just set them to true and reboot and that should fix it but stop viper...not saying you weren't getting thr benefit of both on another rom just unlikely given that's really the only necessary viper mod i made that would interfere with the other mod so that's a little odd lol Idk...glad you enjoy it
