Yea this is Def true at least partially...the difference is the extent to which the variance impacts your device...the comparison between two people's devices is where I have the issue cuz I've stated repeatedly no two setups are ever identical don't use anyone's data as a guide only use bits of their method to get their...for instance I have 2 Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9205 which are all but identical...my exact same rom setup by me exactly the same way...on the exact same Wifi with no Sim card and they get rather different battery lives...by different I mean at least 5% sometimes as far off as 10% difference...

When you start making direct comparisons your in trouble because you can't define the terms of the guidelines...there's literally too many variables...production/internal differences, the batteries themselves ect...that's why I say things like FK will give a minimum 5 hours screen on...or an average this or that...because even my ONE N4 varies dramatically by the day...so while yes there is some different between lte drain vs Wifi. ..all things being equal it'd the constant searching for signal on either that drains the most...so if I leave my note on lte in my house or Wifi it's basically the same because my my Att coverage is strong and constant like my Wifi...for example my N4 V9 drains about 1 to 2% on Wifi over 8 hours...on lte it drains about 6% but I'm always out of the house on lte and it's searching so that difference in 1 location would be more like 3 to 4%..

So again I can't stress enough...don't use anyone else's setup results as a benchmark or guide only use their setups itself to go from then adjust to your uses...it's why I don't put say expected results of xyz settings in op2. ...because that setup if done identical will vary with someone else's apps/use style and needs adjusted to suite them using my op2 as a base to work from. See what I'm saying ..because the last point is use will impact the battery more than anything...how you use your note...are you someone that let's 50 apps run in the recent apps drawer or close each one every time ect...there's too many other variables to boil it down so basic but for the most part of your in spotty lte use Wifi or if your too far for steady Wifi kick on lte...but really if you Greenify your apps you shouldn't have to even worry about battery life on firekat? I can't drain my note in 1 day of use I have to actually try an force overuse while max clocking to drain it....the last consideration is data...leaving lte live Wifi could end up costing you so I say go Wifi when possible...cuz the combined total of the sensors on FK battery may be total of 2.5% to 5% best guess

Thanks for the confirmation regarding my question on the "sound mod" per first quoted above.

Important follow-up Question! I know this should probably be obvious but I just want to make sure. When going to the OP of mentioned thread, it states in first post, links for the "Edge" model. Then in the 2nd post, it breaks down particular versions per Note 4 & carrier, ect.... Which of the following to flash? I'm thinking the Note 4 TMO & 3rd download listed under it?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mcdavid:
Yes.. that one.... it works on the regular Note, even though it was done for Note Edge. I have used it on the regular note with FireKat with no problems. If you are worried, do a nandroid backup immediately before you flash.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Rayan:
Hi Mega!

Well quite honestly the platform is still in its infancy and there are just a few games out there worth playing, however things are changing rapidly.

I just discovered that if you use Titanium Backup to freeze the Gear VR services, then you can use every Google Cardboard apps and games (this library seems to be more extensive than Gear VR). There are quite a few great titles on the Cardboard side of things that work quite great.

For example, there are some Horror titles that I dare you to play! Really, they will scare the &^%$ out of anyone, or at least give you the goosebumps.

There are lots of Rollercoaster rides (and even games where you get to ride on a rollercoaster while shooting cannon balls to targets.) they are quite intense and if you love rollercoasters you will sure love this titles.

I found a flight simulator that is awesome, you get to fly a plane from the cockpit with very realistic graphics and flight model.

Now, despite the fact that I consider myself a gamer, the best feature for this platform is the 3D movies, panoramas and photos under the Gear VR environment. There's simply no words to describe it. You have to experience it to barely grasp and understand the the possibilities!

The only bad thing about this Gear VR, is the price point. At $200 dollars for a plastic case with lenses and some sensors is a bit steep. Especially considering there are some other $100 dollar options out there. But let's not forget that Gear VR is NO Google Cardboard, those sensors really make a HUGE difference. There's simply NO latency while on the Gear VR environment, but Cardboard is not that bad either.

Do I recommend it? HELL YEAH!!! :good:

P.S.- Thanks for such great ROM Mega!!!

Cheers!

Well I went down to T-Mobile today to take care of an Assurion/Assurant insurance issue. They offered me a dual band router for free! They even waved some fee of $25.00. It's being delivered in two days. Weird because I was going to get rid of the ancient 2.4 GHz router I've been using for six years tonight! Anybody else get this deal?

I recently upgraded from V5 to V9, and the dropoff in battery life is severe. V5 battery lasted forever, V9 is burning up real fast. I'm pretty sure I didn't change a thing in terms of my apps, settings, etc. Any thoughts on what ever the obvious issues might be here?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
How "recently" and how did you flash going from v5 to v9? What you did could be the key as to why the difference.

V9 is about 10% more efficient so somethings not right...did you dirty flash? And when did you flash V9?

So your guys vz fk has the same oddity with talk back and password managers? That has to be a base bug in 4.4.4 then

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jason370:
I flashed it about a week ago. Followed the instructions on the OP. Odin flashed ANK4, it was a full wipe, then flashed V9. I can't remember the exact steps i took, but I always just follow the instructions step by step, and that's what i did here.

It says facebook messenger used 22% of the battery, which seems crazy high considering the screen used 39%, but I disabled it in the boot manager a couple days ago (haven't used it since), and the battery is still draining really fast. V5 literally lasted for days, this is like 5-6 hours.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sharp2G:
Disable notifications in Messenger or Greenify it. I have no problems using it with Greenify.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea you have some problems In your setup dude...even on stock that's low...but on V9 I average 2% per 10 hours with my Cpu min set at 1400 max 2700...it's your setup...check wake lock detector and Greenify the ones killing your battery...it doesn't matter how efficient the rom itself is if the apps you install negate all power management controls and keeps your note awake constantly...you may wanna just clean flash and start fresh to make sure you know the steps you took then do a clean install obviously no titanium restores...and check out op2 there's a few tips in there to optimize the rom even further

Mega

Here's mine right now...i have 188 apps installed right now on v9 with my cpu set like above...full brightness like always and my beach theme...only about 39 mins screen on today so it's a great standby snapshot of the efficiency of v9
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jason370:
A thousand thank you's. Will do.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] GatoL0c0:
Yeah I completely uninstalled that Facebook messenger crap. Lol

I don't know of anyone else having battery drain like you. Maybe you just had a bad flash? Bad file?

Sounds like you know what you're doing though. My battery life seems to be pretty good. On standby after charging to 100% I only lose 3% over a period of about 6-7 hours. I place it on the charger just now and had nearly 24 hrs of use with over 3 hours of on screen time with 30% battery left.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jongcruz:

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jason370:
Here's some comic relief,

I decided to just full wipe and reflash, but of course I wiped internal storage like an idiot and now I'm stuck in bootloop hell. Should I just go back to the OP and Odin flash ANK4 along with the twrp and the rest, or might there be an easier fix here?

2. Odin Flash Chainfire Auto Root

3. Odin Flash Twrp

4. Boot Into Twrp

5. Advanced Wipe In Twrp: check only

*Dalvik

*Cache

*System

*Data

***DO NOT Wipe Internal storage

6. Swipe to complete Advanced Wipe

7. Flash FireKatN4ANK4V6.zip

8. Reboot

9. Let the rom rest 15 mins or so

10. Setup and enjoy the new fk goodness

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] lazer9:
Wi-Fi calling issues, likely router related.

I am wishing I would have stuck with mentioned Router that T-Mobile store gave me initially. Although I don't think I ever set my config up properly to take best advantage of it. Here is my story:

They did offer me this to begin with. I currently have a Time Warner issued Modem/Wireless/Router combo which I've done some extensive research on and am finding a lot of people complaining about it's performance especially regarding VOIP type communications which assuming T-Mobile's Wifi calling is dependent on. I should have set it up to "Bridged" mode and further tested the T-Mobile Router. I have been having nothing but fits in my home with my Note 4 and either staying connected to "Wi-Fi" calling, where-as, half the time it will initially indicated it is on Wi-Fi calling in the status bar yet when I proceed to make a call it says "Dialling" forever and sometimes never even makes the call and when it does, often the "Wi-Fi" upper left icon doesn't turn green but goes away only to realize it kicks me off "Wi-Fi" calling feature. Then I check in phone/settings and under "Wi-Fi" calling option, it is in Gray and says "Enabling" and stays like this until I reboot. I have tried adjusting all sorts of settings on the junk Ubee "All in one" yet can't seem to get things right. Otherwise I have a great Internet Connection yielding 33mbps Down and 5mbps Up.

So I ended up going back to the store some days ago and trading in the T-Mobile Router for their Signal booster in hopes it would help me with more consistent calls in my home along with the hopes it would help my girlfriend who they Sim'd my old Verizon GS4 on T-Mobile pre-paid, set up the APNs and basically she's in the same boat I am since the Signal booster only supports over the LTE band or whatever and the GS4 has to be set to GSM option to get T-Mobile's towers at all in my area beings it's a Verizon phone originally.

So here I am stuck with non consistent "Wi-Fi" calling ability and I was really looking forward to having that. One of my reason for switching to T-Mobile in the first place.

Just don't get what route to go. See if the store will exchange back their Router for the Signal booster? Buy one like the following on Amazon and bridge the Ubee... --> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0098QV038...TF8&colid=1A4YM5SA4IYR4&coliid=I3GSSIN6M4N68V

Settings I possibly have amuck?

Open to all suggestions!
