How do you remove CID and why?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hurrpancakes:
Update fails to install on my unmodified phone :(

EDIT: But trying it through Kies worked
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Gordon Ramsay:
Recent apps is not faster at all, placebo ftl.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] willi_3609:
I can't get it to update either... I'm so mad
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] csears31907:
I removed via the logging test app. For the reason of not wanting any of my data to be sent from my phone to tmobile
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nano303:
Willi...bro....chilll.....you aren't missing out on stuff at all. It's not a huge leap like KIT KAT to LOLLIPOP. At all have I noticed anything different? Eh still got bugs hear and their that's what I hate about being STOCK. With a custom rom theirs no problem with the phone. Your not missing much, if your already rooted and with a custom rom....f it...let it go lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] darekz:
The only thing I noticed so far after update is that after taking picture, it appears much faster after you touch tumbnail in bottom corner
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] willi_3609:
Dude, screw ypu, im sorry mods, but thi guys is obviously mister knowitall. I know my way around technology, and I just want to update my phone, it downloads, tries to install, and boom, black tmobile screen saying it failed, when the phone turns on... It asks if i want to send diagnistic info to samsung... This sucks, honestly, i havent tinkered with it bevayae i want a phone that will work.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
So you wanna update and keep root but stay stock?

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] willi_3609:
I havent rooted yet. :( thats why im mad, its a pure stock phone, i havent plugged it into a computer since getting it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
So plug in go to kies and upgrade. The ota is so iffy. Seen bricks come out of them

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jdidtht:
Just go into download mode then and manually flash it with Odin..super basic stuff here bud.

Edit.

I apologize if coming off like an ass. I see your profile says your in school, assuming your maybe younger and in that case I digress. If you need step by step let me know via. Sorry man.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] willi_3609:
My computer is wonky, odin isnt great for mac (at all) im a troll. Lol. But for real, i only have a mac, i just completed the update thru kies, but, i wish it just worked in the first place. :p

edit: it's fine, I know I'm young, but I just expected a brand new phone to be able to update no problem, especially since I have done anything to it yet.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CB620:
Updated through Odin and made a backup.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jdidtht:
Nice, lol I respect some good old fashioned trollery.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rcobourn:
I'm on the fence about whether the recents are faster or not. A few times it had seemed very quick, at the moment not so much.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bruce lee roy:
After update, phone appears to be more responsive and snappy.

Just flashed the .IMG from Sammobile via Odin. Stock, rooted, modded stock. Just how I like :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
Is it blazing fast?

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
Well I have it overclocked as well but I'm noticing a slight speed difference in the ui. Nothing major.

Sent from a potato.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jongie123:
Do anybody knows yet if this fixes the GPS finally? I'm working inside a building and can't test, but man I really hope so. I love this Note 4 but so far the GPS is even worst than the Note 3 that was pure garbage :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
I never had problems with Note 3 or 4 lol.

That Nexus 5 though, sent me places.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
Mines still slow when going into gallery from the camera.

Update : I take it back. I don't think I let my phone settle after reboot. It's faster now as you mentioned.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

Recent app is faster for me as well after letting the phone settle.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jongie123:
Man IDK, I had three Note 3 and so far two Note 4 and when I'm driving I loose connection, or the gps will stay put or drive on top of houses and buildings and even worst in backwards when I'm driving on the highway at over 65mph. All of my Notes had the same crappy GPS ( 5 in total). And I have it High accuracy :/
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
Here's a video of recent app and going to gallery from camera.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
So it the same as my phone was stock and has been.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] busab:
I didn't notice any difference at all with the lag when pressing the multitasking button. The phone does SEEM snappier over all but it could just be the placebo effect.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Limeybastard:
Agreed no change in speed of that recent app button. Just more heat generated from the phone and now probably more battery drains and all that ****e.. What a fool I was..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
i agree on the more heat
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pestilencec11:
have we came to the conclusion that it's safe to update, and then still be able to root? I have a fresh Note4 I am waiting to root.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mike28:
Yes no issues I unrooted then updated with kies and re rooted again with recovery no issues
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pestilencec11:
Thank you very much :D Guess ill take the update then root. :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ThC23:
So what's the verdict on the update?

Worth updating?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] laureanop:
I can confirm that data and settings are kept through the Odin flash , but not root or recovery
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
I'm hoping this is a good indication of my battery life with the new update.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dc/dc:
For those that updated with Odin to keep root, did you extract the actual .img file from the tar.md5, or just flash the whole thing?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raptir:
One thing I have noticed is that the Bluetooth audio works more reliably in this update. I didn't have major issues with it, but the track info was hit or miss. Now I've had no trouble.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] redalertlb:
I thought my signal had gotten better but I now notice that it seems worse if anything. Regardless if my signal levels are great or not.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wonsanim:
Guys im using windows 8.1 but I cant open odin3 3.09, some of you have this problem or need some new version ,because 3.07 works i use to root my N4 with chainfire auto root but 3.09 don't work. any ideas?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] deeznutz1977:
Just use the one from cf auto root I use/d 3.07

T-Mobile told me so, and I trust them with my device
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
Let me give you some info here kiddo.

T-Mobile is not Samsung, they don't know what the update brings unless either 1. The changes are obvious or 2. They have a changelog.

I've worked for Verizon for a long time (luckily I don't anymore) and my fellow employees have given some very wrong information to customers.

Even after reading the official changelog for myself, I don't even notice a difference. It just boasted in a "faster recents". Seems the same to me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ThC23:
Any boost in signal strength?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
THIS, and carriers have been known to push out updates that brick phones, and introduce all sorts of unexpected problems..

Go ahead and blindly trust your carrier, but dont say you haven't been warned..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vibrantliker:
Wondering if you guys can advise:

I just got my Note 4 on Monday and there was a firmware update ready to go, I installed, then rooted.

My question is, I think that was the 11/24 update but I want also is that battery improvement update that came out in October. I got my wife the Note 4 when it came out a month ago and installed that battery update and her phone's battery seems a lot better. Anyone know which it may be? It's only supposed to be about 36MB.

I see these 3 firmware updates in SamMobile:

2014 October N910TUVU1ANIH N910TTMB1ANIH N910TUVU1ANIH 4.4.4

2014 October N910TUVU1ANJ7 N910TTMB1ANJ7 N910TUVU1ANJ7 4.4.4

2014 November N910TUVU1ANK4 N910TTMB1ANK4 N910TUVU1ANK4 4.4.4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] effortless:
Newer Note 4s (as of a few weeks ago) come with the NJ7 update preinstalled (You can read the firmware version on the box to see what version yours shipped with). The latest update (NK4) includes all the past updates plus NK4s improvements. You just need to be on the latest to enjoy the benefits.

Just for reference, the NIH update was the original shipping firmware for the TMO Note 4.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vibrantliker:
Thanks effortless! My box says N910TUVU1ANJ7. So I should have that battery enhancement update already?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] effortless:
Yea, it was included in NJ7.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vibrantliker:
Thanks again. I was a big fan of your roms for the Note 3. Any on the way for Note 4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] effortless:
I'm waiting on a Note 4 lollipop release so I can test some stuff. I don't want to set people up for failure once lollipop is released if what I suspect will happen does.

I have concerns since xposed will not run on lollipop due to Art and the changes in selinux. Rovo89 (the xposed framework developer) really doesn't know if he can get it to work on lollipop (with valid reason). We might have a bunch of pissed off Note 4 users here who rooted and tripped knox and are stuck with no private mode, broken S-health and laggy phones once lollipop releases.

I'm hoping it's manageable to release independent flashable fixes for each of those issues and sustain that over firmware updates. I'm prepping some stuff now, but it'll be clearer in 2-3 months.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] vibrantliker:
I ran CM 12 on my LG G3 and it ran pretty good.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] devynbf:
I was poking around that forum, looks like there's still a few bugs and kinks, lucky you guys have some sort of build though.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Gonzorito:
Faster than mine before the ota. Haven't tried ota yet. What launcher are you using - looks nice!

---------- Post added at 08:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

So for people with problems updating, they need to:

First back up your stuff!

A) download a rom image that brings them current (large file - sammobile, etc) & odin update and auto root.

Or

B) If they have an original stock image, odin that, take any / all otas, and auto root etc., etc., etc.

Dont forget...backup!!!

Just double checking, thx.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] willi_3609:
Really? I feel like the phone is faster overall, and battery life improved for me, as well as how quick it switches from camera to gallery and recents. Just yesterday, I got 6.5 hours sot at 65-70% brightness with lte and wifi and location services enabled. So far, at least for me, it seems like a great update!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] YrrchSebor:
Subjective feeling here: I too feel like I'm getting better battery life on NK4. Been very pleased with that. Recents feels about the same speed, haven't tried camera/gallery much.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
do you not have anything syncing? im no where near 6.5 hrs, i get like 3hrs max or 4 hrs max....and thats constantly uses it.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] willi_3609:

You may have to many accounts with to many sync settings on.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bipoler:
You've got to work on your sense of subliminal sarcasm. Would someone who actually trusted a cellphone carrier actually find the time to even have a account on XDA o_0

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rekzer:
Way better battery, still the laggiest phone I have used in 3 years. Typing a text will lag for 10 seconds as the keyboard lags and doesnt show anything. This is truly unreal, totally regret buying this phone :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] effortless:
No lag here in typing texts. Are you using the built in Messages app?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
then there is something wrong with your phone, or your setup, since this doesn't affect 99.9% of the people who have this phone..

do a factory reset, and try it again
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rekzer:
Using google hangouts/swiftkey keyboard. Typing messages is super laggy, the task switcher takes 5 seconds to come up sometimes., and scrolling is really bad. Steam app for example is like watching a side show will scrolling. Using Dynamic rom 3.0.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nano303:
And he's using a custom rom?...no lag hear bud...I do but not to the point that's driving me insane like you.maube you where a nexus user for 3 years straight using NO bloat ware and basically nothing but to call and message. You want features on your phone? Some will be buggy. ...Want a perfect phone? Make your own or own rom...good day to you m8

"fighting as one hand one heart, one soul. We will shatter their dreams and haunt their nightmares"
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MarkP80nj:
I'm gonna have to agree with Rekzer here.

My phone has been extremely laggy with scrolling and the keyboard since I Odin'd ank4 yesterday.

It has been working fine with other roms.

Maybe it's just a matter of doing another factory reset, but just figured I'd chime in and let him know he's not alone.

I'm sure it's fixable, it was working fine with the other three roms I tried before.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HomieTheClown:
Lagging here too

I was having major problems with lag. I thought maybe I had dirty installed the rom so I did a clean install and was still having issues so I went back to stock. Not sure why I am problems and everyone else was ok.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pierrekid:
You guys having lag are killing me. What phone are you comparing this too? I have an iPhone 6 plus, lg g3 and an HTC m8 next to me and none of them are as good as the note 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MarkP80nj:
Why are we killing you?

Just because you're not having problems doesn't mean no one else can.

Fanboyism doesn't really solve anything.

For my part, I'm not comparing this phone to any other phone.

I'm comparing the current rom I'm on with the previous ones I had.

Again, it seems others on the same rom are not experiencing these problems so it might be solved with a factory reset or something similar.

But to suggest that just because this phone is great (which it is) no one can have any problems with it, is ridiculous.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pierrekid:
Maybe you misunderstand. I own all of these devices. And I can tell you the note 4 has zero lag when compared. So again....what are you comparing your experience too? Because it clearly isn't a better or faster phone. Lol@ fanboyism. That's where all you guys go to.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] btort1:
Maybe you should do some research, it's not the phone....it's Hangouts. Ever since Hangouts updated a couple months back, it's VERY laggy when you compose. It's even laggy on a htc one and my lg g3
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rekzer:
Hmm. I use hangouts for messaging primarily :(

Just did a bit of googling. Looks like it's fine on Nexus/AOSP - So hopefully we get some AOSP soon!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] YellowGTO:
I use hangouts and steam, I don't have lag during texts. I use swype keyboard. Maybes its a keyboard incompatibility?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rekzer:
With steam, go to the catalog and scroll side to side on the main catalog for the sale items, its REALLY bad.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MarkP80nj:
I think it is you who are misunderstanding.

I'm comparing ank4 to anj7.

I'm comparing the lag I'm experiencing now with the zero or minimal lag I was experiencing with the previous roms I had before.

This is the third time I'm saying this.

It's not a phone to phone comparison, it's a rom to rom comparison.

And yet again, I will say, it might not even be the roms fault, maybe just a bad flash.

But you're trying to make this seem like people are saying this phone sucks and so and so phone is much better.

Maybe actually read what people are saying instead of jumping on to ridicule them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] YellowGTO:
Yeah the catalog is laggy. Is it not like that on other phones?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
I was using swift key and it was lagging from time to time just like what's happening with yours. So I'm back to the Samsung kb and no more lag.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rekzer:
0 on my nexus 5 with slimrom...also I'm back on the Samsung keyboard which is quite nice
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MarkP80nj:
Just as an update, I just flashed dk3.0, and everything seems to be running smooth now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ColorNapkin:
This update added two new apps to my phone without my approval:

Cookie Jam

Drippler

I am not happy about that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MarkP80nj:
Yes it did.

You can read this thread for more info on this, but basically you just need to freeze or remove DTIgnite from your phone, as it is what installs these unwanted apps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pierrekid:
You do realize I did not quote you initially right? That I stated what I said for people comparing their lag to another phone....right? That there are people on this thread that , surprise surprise, aren't talking about ROM lag and are instead talking about general stock lag...right? And your the one who responded to the post unnecessarily because, I'm guessing, my post was directly after yours. Again I'm not talking to you. Maybe you should learn to read instead of "jumping on to ridicule" Lol. Good day sir
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MarkP80nj:
Well, maybe I did misunderstand.

Since you said you people I assumed you meant all of us that were having problems.

How about we let bygones be bygones then?

Truce?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pierrekid:
Sounds good to me :). Bygones be bygones!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:

My recent apps button is damn near instant now. As soon as I lift my finger from the button, poof, it opens. Very noticeable difference.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nano303:
I also noticed that the alarm is different to how you set it...don't ask me how it just does. The video player "pause/play" button has an animation to it. . Seems like those of Google 5.0

Will root still work on this update?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jewalla83:
Yes it will.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] philliman:
If this thread was about a custom rom I could see the point of all the lag complaints. Seems like most people complaining about said lag is on custom rom. I could be wrong, but I thought this was about the update. I'm on the stock rom with no root and a 99.9% flawless Note 4. Ijs.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Ricey:
Ended up getting the stupid DT_Ignite thing from this update. The performance optimizations are nice, having a baked in system app that dls something to your phone without your knowledge is retarded. I disabled it and uninstalled the apps it dled. Just a heads up for everyone.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] toshik1:
This is a very interesting way T-Mobile is pushing the updates on N-4. It keeps bugging you about the update and then finally installs it by itself (second time in a row).

In the past you had to go to SETTINGS and check for firmware update and then choose what you want to do....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Averant:
Talk about invasive lol. Come on T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gdwilliams11:
Hey guys, after manually upgrading to NK4, my keyboard lost the autocorrect/auto replacement functionality. This issue is driving me batty. Could someone help me get that functionality back? Whether it's replacing the keyboard or even changing the build prop file. I'll do whatever's necessary to get this working again. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Zeus AMKings:
Am I the only one that doesn't receive updates from T-Mobile? Could it be because I rooted before the first one came out? I've rooted other phones from tmo in the past and still received the updates. Even had like 5 updates in one month when the LG G3 first came out, it's tripping me out....:confused:
