Goddamn, someones drinking the koolaid.

I am merely reporting back on performance as I see it, based on experience prior to the upgrade. I have no expectations other than, "dont make my phone worse than it was before the upgrade." Doesnt seem that lofty to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boufa:
Its not drinking the cool aide, it is the reports of my first hand experience with the phone as well as 99% of all others who have done the upgrade. The internet is famous for whiners, who just have to crap on everything. There does not seem to be anything wrong with the upgrade, and I have a hard time believing that it has made your device more sluggish. I'm not calling you a liar, maybe it has. But if it has, then you are clearly the exception and need to examine the root cause of it. Perhaps you have a bad phone, it happens, or maybe you have apps, or other things that are causing your experience to be different than most others. It is also possible that since lag is a personal thing, maybe my definition of fine is different than yours. Yours might even be faster than mine, but you think its sluggish, you have the right to your opinion.

Having said all of that... you were very non specific ... "It seems more sluggish". It sounds like a complaint, and not a way to have either us help you find a reason for the different experience, or you enlightening us on the risks and dangers that might come from doing the upgrade. Makes me think you might have just popped in, dumped an complaint into the first thread you saw and then moved on. How is it more sluggish, doing what? What is your setup? How long have you been on the upgrade? Etc, Etc. that would be contributing to the conversation, rather than just trolling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ChefAnt:
Lulz @ cool aide
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Try to factory reset because this update definitely didn't make my phone slower. In fact it seems more snappy if anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dboogie2288:
Geez if that's your definition of 'trolling,' then my statement of 'stop being oversensitive' would probably send you crying.

It was indeed a precursory reply that was short, and unclosed. The "so far," of it makes one believe that more data shall be gathered and perhaps a followup will be added. My contribution thus far is to make others aware that if they are on the edge, perhaps they hold off until some more data is gathered, as mentioned above. So why give such a crap on something you have ZERO stake in whatsoever?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
I can say that this upgrade made the phone much faster and snappier and that the recent app is much faster, no issues here at all great upgrade :good: , And for those that try to skip the upgrade it's gonna upgrade your phone on it's own so you might as well upgrade it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Donwloading right now, on 100MB connection but going about 200kb per second. Thats ok I can wait! :) I will update my performance as well after.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gharris040604:
Liking it so far, snappy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Damn battery charge not high enough haha, Charge battery charge!! lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Themetnut:
The GPS seems to lock a lot faster and is more accurate for me now. The phone also seems a bit faster to me as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Agreed a little snappier now. Now just waiting for Lollipop. I just thought it would funny to add this link, referencing that the adoption rate for Lollipop is 0.1%, and they are comparing it to IOS etc..... Yeah thats because AT&T etc wont push it out to us! Trust me if it was actually available to people we would all have it on immediately.

http://www.neowin.net/news/android-50-lollipop-has-less-than-01-adoption-a-month-after-launch
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mcaleer1:
Finally the recent apps button is useful! Before I was getting a delay of 3-5sec. And now it's about 1-2 or less. Also phone seems a bit snappier everywhere. Would have liked Lollipop but I can't say I'm disappointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JasonJoel:
One of the first things I tested was the GPS.

I can also confirm that on my phone it locks faster and stays locked better after the update. Pretty happy about that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Nightowl67:
Recent apps button still takes 3 to 5 seconds for me but GPS does seem faster. All other apps seem to load the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boufa:
Anyone notice better predictions on auto correct with the keyboard... it seems a bit smarter, and smother now. I prefer swiftkey, but am using the Samsung keyboard so that I can do the hand writing when I need/want to. It seems like the Samsung keyboard is a bit more swiftkey ish in its predictions. Preciously it based all of its predictions on the first letter you typed, but now it seems to have moved beyond that. Might just be paying more attention, but Im fairly certain it is better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] zoso28:
Any devs out there wanna chime in on whether there's any chance this will kill our ability to root? I mean i know it could... but I'm wondering if anyone has heard about anyone possibly working on N1E
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ryudosama:
Can someone who has completed this OTA on their note please run Antutu and 3D mark to quantify any gains in performance outside of UI snappiness.

Also wondering if the adreno drivers were updated/touched at all, as of now the note 3 runs Dolphin Emulator better than the note 4 does, which is obviously a software issue. Though that could be a dolphin proprietary coding issue as it seems to be the only emulator having an issue.

If anyone wants to try Dolphin and report on that as well, I would definitely appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jaj324:
Did the update. Not only Evernote baked in but Amazon too!

BT problem in-car after update

I noticed this morning that after this update my car audio system (factory ford in a 2012 Focus) can no longer place an outgoing call unless I turn BT on the phone OFF and then back on. For some small period of time it works, but then it will stop placing calls. The car display goes from "dialing xxx" then immediately "Call Ended."

If I place the call from the phone, it routes audio through the stereo properly and I can end the call with the button on the steering wheel as normal.

Incoming calls seem to function properly.

It's almost like BT is going to sleep or something and the stereo can't wake it up.

Gonna try deleting the pairing and the re-pairing to see if it makes a difference.

Edit: realized my foolish mistake. I made a change yesterday to the call accessories setting so that calls could only be made if the phone was unlocked.. :) Changed it back and I'm good...

So, other than my own foolishness, I'm not seeing any problems yet with this update. Let's hope Lollipop follows soon..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boufa:
I'm a good sport, I'll play along... running now, I'll let you know as I get results. :good:

Edit: I ran both tests.... I'm not sure about the results. Since I am no pro, and don't want to spred mis-information, I will not post my results. It seemed to be slightly below on the Antutu and fairly low on the 3d Mark. I did not benchmark my device prior to the update, so I am not sure what I am comparing it to. Most likely new, out of the box demo units. Maybe not running in airplane mode might have pulled down my results. Sorry, I tried. I cannot believe that the 3d performance would have dropped 25-35% just because of a simple update... maybe, but I doubt it.

Software Update Interrupted

Any one can help me out here? Is there a way to side load the update somehow? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
Anyone getting 4G LTE and Wi-fi icon at the same time? When I was on Wi-fi only got the wi-fi icon now I get both 4G LTE and Wi-fi and smart network switch is turned off!!!!

Intermittent Mic Issues After the Update

I received notice this morning and updated my phone. A few hours after installing the update I made a call and the person on the other end couldn't hear me very well. I was on speaker so I moved the phone closer and started to talk and she couldn't hear me at all. I took the phone off of speaker and then she could hear me but the problem started again. I kept switch back and forth from as well as muting and unmuting but I'm still having intermittent microphone issues.

If it continues to happen I'll perform a reset (I hope I don't need to) and see if the problem resolves itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] segura.org:
My recent apps button is actually slower. Grr!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Volvogia:
I am just going hold off as long as I can on this update. I dont want more bloat on my phone than what is already on there. My recent apps button is almost instant as is. Never have had a issue with it. Never knew it was such a issue for everyone. I could care less about the HD voice. If there is a chance at root that we dont know about, then its safer to stay on the older version so thats what Im doing. Wont update to anything unless I literally have no choice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raiu:
Why wasn't sammobile all over this? They usually are?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brittoking:
Yes supposedly the download booster is now active which will combine lte and Wi-Fi for max downloads speeds
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
any way to actually disable this?

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Anyway to disable this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Martinjv71:
No changes were made to the speaker scripts. Try the rest and redo the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brittoking:
Not to my knowledge. I activated it in a hidden settings menu before the update (haven't taken the update yet) but I've never seen it actually "turn on" or even light up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
Where is the hidden menu and where is the setting so I can turn it off!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brittoking:
I figured out how to turn it on by downloading nova launcher/going to activities/download booster (I believe that was the process it's been a month since I did it and I've forgotten). You can also download "shortcut maker" from the playstore and create a shortcut to the download booster option (it's under the settings section).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
I tried the nova luncher way at the Download Booster its not there anymore!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brittoking:
So you were able to disable it? I cannot tell by reading your post or the exclamation points you are using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
I tried the nova Luncher way but the download booster shortcut is not there anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brittoking:
As I stated I haven't taken the update yet so I'm not a 100% on what happens when you download Nova and if that launcher hides the booster automatically but the option to enable/disable it shouldn't be affected by the launcher. It's actually easier to use the shortcut maker app and just scroll to settings/download booster

Edit: the app is called QuickShortcutMaker
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
Its not on nova luncher or QuockSortcut Maker apparently they hidden it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] brittoking:
That could very well be or maybe it's turned on by default now without the option to disable it. It's annoying because I've never seen it actually kick on, no matter what I was doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
I talked to a "smart" (I use smart very thin lol) ATT technical support and they told me the new update now shows both but it is not actually download booster I have not seen a super increase in data usage but again I doubt what he told me. It's not normal that is doing what is doing now!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pr0cl1v1ty:
Changlog for this update

What’s New

HD VoiceSM capability (in select markets, and both you and the person you’re calling have to have this feature).

Addition bloatware: Amazon shopping, Evernote, Softcard (formerly ISIS)

“Miscellaneous improvements”
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raiu:
The switch from Camera (while using the camera) to gallery is still so slow that the phone shuts off before it even loads.

And i dont have that many pics on the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ryudosama:
I just got home now, already did the OTA, but haven't had time to test it yet. I was getting 3D Mark scores of about 20k and Antutu scores of 47k before the update. Will give it a whirl an post my results. Unfortunately I did however try Dolphin Emulator and it is still unplayable/unchanged performance wise :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Namorbrowneyes:
This spit is so fast now haha holy crap. Hope it stays this way and its not just from the clearing of dalvik/cache for the upgrade

Yo the scrolling is so smooth now...even when pictures and such as still loading.

This is ultra stable 4.4 touchwiz before lollipoppy drops! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
Not sure why you all having this issue but i'm at home and got wifi on and doesn't show 4G LTE Like you guys are saying i only see wifi on no LTE On so i am lost why you all get both at the sametime on and i did update yesterday morning to this upgrade! Everything is working for me Bluetooth and Recent app button very fast as well No issue Seems my phone is much Faster and snappier!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
Im getting both!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Reinaldo33897:
So let me get this right from what I read. This so called update is basically just additional bloat ware add ons ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lawalty:
I'm sure there are several "under the hood" tweaks and addons to qualify it as an upgrade.

Geezus, I can't even forcestop Evernote, let alone disable it! It wont let me stop it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
If you send/receive an MMS message while on WiFi then the data indicator will pop up..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] danny185:
Now for some reason at home it stopped doing it so I doubt is the download booster
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
I think main reason was VoLTE. Seems even if you are talking to person w/o VoLTE sound is much improve. My wife and I we have Note 4 and we are on chicagoland market so if i was talking to her today it sound very very clear.

Picture below showing 4G LTE when i call At&t.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ryudosama:
Tried 3D Mark and Antutu, seems to be no noticeable changes in scores, leading me to think the improvements being reported are strictly UI. I just thought I'd share that for anyone who was wondering. Either way, improvements are improvements so I will take what I get. Looking forward to VoLTE and eventually the gear vr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
You can install the Gear VR apps now. Update added some Gear VR apps and a setup wizard. I used quick shortcut maker to start it. Unfortunately you can't use any of them without the Occulus.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
I don't see anything about gear vr in apps drawer. Where they are?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
Download Quick Shortcut maker.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut

Scroll down to Gear VR setup wizard in activities. Tap that then tap the activity. Tap try. It should start the setup wizard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
I don't see Gear VR setup wizard. It is not there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
Are you on the new update? You should just open up Quick Shortcut maker. And just scroll down till you see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
Yes. Updated last nite. But there is nothing about Gear VR.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
Do you even see it in your application manager under all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
Nope. Nothing there too. All I got is Gear VR services and shell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
Well that's strange. Did anybody else get it? I don't believe I've installed it manually. I wonder if it installed it along with gear manager for my gear watch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
I got it just checked in applications
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JIML410:
I too only have gear vr shell and service. Just updated tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sandman7793:
Me to
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] norbarb:
I don't think you install with gear manager. I have gear manager for my gear 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sandman7793:
Nope. I just got the apk, but will do you know good because you have locked phone. I have at mobile note 4 on att. It needs pushed to system priv-app and permissions changed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
Well we all got it. Now we just need the Gear VR headset for the ridiculous price of $200 dollars. If it works with future devices and comes with a game pad and earphones. It may be worth it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sandman7793:
I had to side load it. I lost it because it wasn't included in nk4 that I odined to. It came with nj7 but was removed in nk4. (t mobile)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
Only thing I can think of is if Galaxy apps get updated it'll include the vr apps which is enabled when headset is connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sandman7793:
Yup. Which is most likely what will happen, or the apps will come with the SD card. You can also of course go to oculus and install all the apps right now. It's under mobile sdk. I've had then installed once already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] slidesear:
Decisions, decisions... How likely is it that this update will make obtaining root harder than staying on the current baseband?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] b3asty:
Took the plunge. Definitely snappier. It may be a few days before we know whether the snappiness is just due to cache clearing. Loving the update right now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] segura.org:
I have 2 Note 4's on ATT that received the update. One was automatic, the second one I initiated. Neither one have Gear VR Setup Wizard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lawalty:
1. Go get QuickShortcutMaker from the play store.

2. Within QuickShortcutMaker under ACTIVITIES look for VRSetupWizardStub, expand it and tap VRSetupWizardStub again.

3. Tap "Try"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] soraxd:
no performance difference, only new bloatware added. rated Evernote 1 star in the market and left a comment explaining why. I hope 3rd parties get the message this is how we'll respond to non-disableable apps forced on us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] SunDevil84:
Absolutely seeing a performance increase. Animations improved, launching and switching faster. Battery slightly improved as well. Don't mind evernote because its a great application for note-taking and productivity.

Overall a excellent update. :good::good::laugh:

There was some fixes so it wasn't just those apps you say.

It gives you the option to do it or not, its not forced upon you. If you don't want to you don't have to. There have been times I have lost photos that were sent to me. I find it useful and have nothing to hide so its a plus for me. :good::highfive::laugh::cool:

Just did the same. What a load of ****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jaj324:
The only reason I'm not too upset about the Evernote thing is that it is a damn good app and desktop app. I have used it in the past and still have an account so I guess I don't feel like it's being forced on me. I don't really need it right now but it could have been worse. It could have been some totally worthless app.

I've been running my phone the same for about two days now... and although it does feel a little snappier, by battery life is suffering a little bit. Going to give it a week of testing, if anyone else saw a drop in battery let me know

It wasn't there for me until the update. I had seen somewhere that you had needed TW to be your launcher because it relied on the Sammy weather widget. Don't know if that is true (I use Nova as my launcher), but I do know it didn't display for me despite being enabled for me in settings before the OTA update, but now it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
I don't Use Nova , but i as well am not using TW Launcher i am using Next Launcher and Weather always showed!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ThenewzzZZ:
Good update.

The update downloaded slowly but at a steady 500KB/s

1) Recent key takes half as long as before. not like lollipop fast, but definitely an improvement.

2) Same or a tad better battery life, could be a placebo effect who knows :eek:

3) Tried calling another updated att note 4, but it looks like its not activated in my area, I guess this is a big YMMV.

4) F*CK evernote for being bloatware that cant be disabled. ( i know the app itself has good reputation, but forcing it into people is not acceptable, even UBER, which is bloatware, can be disabled) Left 1-star rating with explanation as well.
