I remember when face posted the 9 hour sot lol...I almost never got under 4.5 hours of full brightness running my gear s constantly and my cpu at 1400/2700 lol...that's why I'm prolly coming back to fk for the long haul it's just more fun overall

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
Hey Mega would it be possible for you to setup a perfect FK setup, remove all identifiable and personal info, backup and upload a nandroid? No matter what i cant seem to get barely 4hours of sot, i wanna know if the issue is with my hardware or battery. i've reflashed multiple times and im currently backing all of my stuff to re odin and reflash ff14x.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Maybe when I get my 2nd note and get back on fk...imo it's Def your battery...I'm getting that much now on poprocks tbh...last i saw several posts it seemed to be around 5.5 to 6 average sot for V14X...so even a bad setup should get 4 hours imo...i got almost another hour of sot on prv7 with my new battery

Yes to a New Battery. When you hit the year mark, it's wise to upgrade your battery to a new fresh one and keep your old one as a spare.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] nine5raptor:
Make sure you let your flash settle in for a few days. I know mine took a bit to get fully settled.

Also, I just bought a new battery off Amazon for around $15. Mine isn't bad, but wanted to get a fresh battery for my new used phone. You can get one with an external charger for under $30 too I believe.

Edit: trying to determine if the one I got is legit. Haven't opened it yet. Everything looks correct on it but model number is EB-BN910BBZ instead of EB-BN910BBU. It also says cell from Japan/maufactured in China. Rather than made in Korea. Other than that they are identical. I didn't find much online except one person that said their Chinese one was better. Their Korean one ran much hotter.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea man its really hard to tell that's why I got sketch about buying the batteries online after getting one or two of those in my day lol and I've seen people get all kinds of "oem" remakes lol hopefully it's legit and just a good deal

Mega I think I'm a flashaholic. One month on a build and then I feel the need to drop to kitkat or vice versa haha I love the FK battery life and PR performance! I wish the app myfitnesspal and the messages app was faster at rendering loading,when you load the emoji's on FK it always has that 1 second delay that you can't do nothing about. The recents are almost at the same level with PR having that slight edge but overall I still think FK is the better overall rom for the note 4 in terms of battery efficiency, performance and modding/customization. It's just better! The PR performance js what's keeping me on lollipop tho :p

Crazy Issue with Google Search/Now...whatever it's called...

First off, this is NOT a problem with this ROM. I had the problem on my stock load. I had hoped that with a new load/new ROM it would go away. Of course, it also happens on both my AT&T phone and this T-Mobile one.

You know how when in a place using a PA, sometimes you get speaker feedback/screech/whistle sound? I get that every time I launch the Google app to speak a command.

It does not happen with S Voice nor Dragon.

A couple weeks ago I did a factory reset. Thought maybe one of my many apps may be causing the issue. I spent 2-3 hours loading 1 app, test , load next app, test, until I had all loaded. The problem didn't happen while doing that.

Thirty minutes later I tried to use it, and it happened.

Any one have any idea at all what might be the problem?

Ignore me if you wish. That's what happened when I posted about it in the troubleshooting forum. I'm betting I'm the only person this happens to.

Back on Topic

JFYI...I did load a 5.1.1 ROM. On initial subjective look, the one thing I notice is that the Recents list does open faster, as everybody has been reporting.

The first night battery discharge was .75% / Hour, Wifi left on, Blue Tooth left on, no power saving mode. I'm thinking that when Mega gets 5.1.1 and put's his magic on it, it will be the star of the show. Antut is coming in about the same as my stock ROM, ~ 47K.

I'm going to let 5.1.1 run for 5 days or so and see how the overall battery performance is, and report back. Then I'm going to load PopRocks , and keep it going for a few days and let it settle in. I'll post over there for anything on it.

Then, if I find I just have to have Xposed, I'll probably drop back to FireKat. I've been reading here about the use of Gravity Box, and it appears for the most part it is working OK on FireKat.

That's what I expected to hear. I have no idea what's causing it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] XBlackChaosX:
That's just the thing I bought this phone on April 11th, itll be a couple months before I hit the year mark. I hope it is the battery because that a very easy problem to solve. If it's the hardware however it won't be... Anyway, I've re Odin, reflashed fk14, let Google play restore all my apps, followed op2, set up settings and app settings and I'm now gonna let it settle for a week to see how it goes. If it does not improve then I'll be going to my nearest Samsung store that we have here in NY and buy a new one, I too don't trust the sellers on amazons marketplace. Those prices for a note 4 battery looks too good to be true.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Tbh it's unlikely to be a hw issue if all that's wrong is your battery life...a hw issue causing it would also have excess heat or some peripheral effects...i mean it's not to say your setup isn't a chunk of the issue as well idk but I noticed my battery weakened within 6 months on n4 like I mentioned earlier...there's nearly an hour of full brightness sot difference In the two batteries...

Can we use any kernels with this amazing rom? If so, what is a recommended kernel? I'm a big fan of KT Kernel on my S4, I hope this works... And it seems AEL is discontinued..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
You can use compatible ones on it...but tbh i only reco a kernel if you use gear Vr. ..otherwise the longest battery lives and highest benchmarks both have been on stock kernel...n4 or 4.4.4 whatever just doesn't play as well with them for whatever reason

I just wonder why AT&T and Verizon customers of the Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+

are being punished by AT&T and Verizon?

Do they intentionally want to loose a lot of their customers and force them to switch

carriers and buy their phones from Tmobile and Sprint?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
I don't know buddy...I can't figure any of this out...and by their sort of bragging tone of the article about bricking someone's 900 dollar phone like a prank for rooting is just appalling imo...and sadly I'm not sure what fallout this will have on the tmo or sprint notes tbh

I honestly don't get how it's legal? We own the phones...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Misterjunky:
Speaking of the Galaxy S6 Edge+ I just got one this morning and I'm taking it on a 14 day test drive.

I got the 64gb version.

I thought you guys might want to checkout the Antutu benchmark speed test results.

Do you have any plans on getting one and cooking up a FireKat custom rom for it?

Have a great day!

Tbh at this point I don't know what's gonna happen...I had planned on it if we have the availability not expecting this level of absurdity with those 2 devices...if it's possible probably yes...a poprocks 5.1.1 build...but we just have to see how long it takes to root and get twrp ect

Do you have a good idea on how exactly to root it? LOL

At least this phone does not have a locked bootloader like AT&T/Sprint versions.

What kernel do I use to reflash to stock after installing one of the other kernels?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Idk if I'm sure what you mean...you just flash the stock kernel if someone has a flashable stock kernel around...otherwise just clean flash

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BklynNetschamps:
That's what I mean, what version kernel should I flash? The ank4 from the stock rom or is there one from your firekat that was modded?

It's not modded...other than rooted obvs it's stock ank4 kernel...all gains are rom based nothing to do with a kernel

Well, still having massive GPS issues. Check this out, Mega (http://app.strava.com/activities/374867352), this was the group ride I led this morning. Look at my GPS tracking vs the other 2 people linked to the same ride. The other guy is tracking with an LG G3, the girl had an iPhone. Both tracks are smooth and immaculate compared to mine, not to mention the fact that mine still keeps dropping constantly... I've done the NV rebuild 3 times, the only thing I haven't done is Odin back to stock because I'm dreading doing it... But seriously, am I the ONLY one who has such janky GPS tracking?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:

Also for the guys that got n5 or edge plus or considering it...all ripping on the kits or joking aside...be extremely careful with every single thing you do on those devices...many people have never tried recovering from a no boot or soft brick without the ability to pull the battery or wipe the device given all files will store internally...be extremely careful fellas don't want to see anyone wind up with a paper weight esp given the new stance on root/roms and warranty

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EzraGarrison:
Lol, I know, I know! I just really don't look forward to the hassle :/ Trying one last thing, though... I forgot about Amplify. I just uninstalled it because I have a feeling it was shutting down GPS wakelocks, in turn causing the dropping issues... I KNOW it can't be ROM related! This sucker is beast!

Edit: ok, I'm almost willing to bet Amplify was the problem! Comparing this track (http://app.strava.com/activities/375215346) to the one just before uninstalling Amplify, not only did this one not drop, the tracking is smoother and less jerky. Gonna test this a day or two before I Odin stock and reroot ;)

Welcome to the final solid note device that Samsung has released. It's not much of a step up on paper but when you use the device you can see its truly a solid device , build, hardware and software wise. Note 5 unfortunately is a step down ... hopefully Samsung realizes there mistake and perform up to par for the note 6

Mega,

I pasted the Google play services mod into its respected folder, set permissions and rebooted in FKV14X and it's performing better than in pr ... not 1 nlp wakelock in the past 24 hours, and that's post clean flashing, no greenify and only 2% away in wld. Amazing! I'll post my results afterwards :)

Looks like the next build is going to be pretty killer with the n5 ram tweaks taking things up to another level of fast on my setup... V9X should be the final build for 5.0 prior to tmo hopefully dropping 5.1.1 and V15X will peak fk to the culmination of the fk builds for 4.4.4...I'm gonna work on refining and truly perfecting V15X this week with the new n5/edge optimizations customized for our kit and push the new pr and fk builds out over the next week/weekend...

T3 users...apparently there's some funky issues running deodex builds on the stock kernel...it's hard to progress with so little info ect but I'm gonna finish the build over the next day or so and work on testing it...

Just a game plan of what's coming up for us with n4...enjoy the rest of your Sunday fellas

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BklynNetschamps:
Thanks! I actually found it on this page too which I downloaded and used odin to flash via download mode. --> Link

I reflashed to stock from AEL kernel to see how usage goes first on that before doing any kernel mods. Battery life definitely has not been anywhere near what is advertised... maybe 2 hours SOT with not much usage other than getting emails and brief browsing, having to charge it everyday, random reboots, GPS taking some time to get a lock or it gets funky in the middle of driving and loses lock, hopefully this is temporary...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dynospectrum:
First off, odin and do a clean install. You've been flashing kernels and whatever else, so you've already modified the rom. Start fresh. Follow OP2. See how it goes for a couple days, be running BBS or WLD. Report your findings.

You need to post a whole battery cycle w/bbs log. I assume you're using greenify, any other Xposed modules? Have you got all your wakeups under control? Literally make a list of apps you have installed. Without providing data, the crutial information needed to find a solution doesn't exist.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Lol as advertised? It's a standard dude...identical software flashed on identical hardware...the average sot is between 5.5 and 6 hours ...you need to get your setup sorted as that's your biggest problem...the +/-from the average is setup dependant...follow my op/op2 and clean up your setup and you'll be set...enjoy

Added: for context on my setup running full brightness, galaxy gear s over Bluetooth, and my cpu clocked at 1.4ghz/2.7ghz constantly ans still got between 4 to 5 hours sot over 30 hours +/- on a 2 day charge cycle...

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
Just to back up mega's information:

-clean flashed (beginning with Odin) and set up FKV14X, first charge/discharge cycle

Is a bit bulky but not too bad... I got the otterbox defender for 25 bucks. Hard case wrapped in the rubber or whatever with the holster
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] EzraGarrison:
Can't say, as I don't have the donate version, so I can't dig in to look at individual wakelocks. It's been a process of elimination, really. Amplify is VERY aggressive and, especially after having no GPS issues for the past 2 rides after uninstalling it, I have a strong guess that it was shutting down something necessary for tracking. Just looking at the tracks it appears that GPS was getting shut off, then having to catch back up, which also suggests Amplify as the culprit. Gonna test GPS a bit longer today, probably. If Amplify in fact was the problem, I feel confident that I'll be certain of it in the next day or so.

Mega, a couple of questions I'm hoping you can help me on.

FK install instructions state; "***DO NOT Wipe Internal storage " yet on several occasions you've suggested wiping it?

The reason I'm asking is after going through the recommended process I see left over files from previously loaded apps in device storage.

I thought Odining the base ANK4 wiped that?

I just want to be clear on how I can get it cleaned up if I need to.

Also, out of curiosity can you give any details on your built in ad blocking?

I've used BigTinCan's AdFree previously and am wondering what the difference is. They use a host file and claim to update it on a regular basis to keep up with changes in ad servers.

Thanks!
