[Galaxy Note 4 General] BlackS0ull:
Hello guys,

I have my NOTE 4 910F from Orange Romania and I want to update it to 5.0.1 with the file from Germany DBT. I understand that is better to perform FIRST a factory reset which will wipe my phone completely (however what is on internal emulated CARD and to EXTERNAL CARD remain untouched) and then proceed with the 5.0.1 update, but I have a question, I will be still able to receive OTA from my mobile carrier which is Orange Romania in the future?

Or should I wait for the official OTA update from my carrier?

Many thanks!

Yes, it does.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] rigocalin:
Same situation here.

I have flashed via ODIN and all works fine...without wipe.

Once you use ODIN to flash, the CSC code is changed to DBT (Germany unlocked) so any updates pushed by Orange to ORO csc devices, cannot hit as you are on another country sales code now.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bert1310:
Same here. Can't get to the recovery as well. Can someone advice what to do?

c'mon pop her cherry , go go :D

Btw if history repeats itself , it goes like Germany, UK then Netherlands, will take another 10 days at least (that's how it went on my S5) If you're on a branded dutch provider (so VDF=Vodafone by example, instead of PHN=not branded) It may even take up to another 8 weeks or more

All rolls ( France :p) with the German rom.

I flash the rom with Odin (without wype).

Very long start by cons, and MAJ of application in the first boot ( 15 / 20min) .

If all goes well ^^, Hello lollipop ! :good:

Let us know how it went mate. [emoji6]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nikc0069:
Hmm looking in service menu it says network:unblock so does that mean it is in fact unlocked? :)

I'm happy with flashing so if the csc basically just identifies the phone for update I can go ahead. Will need to use jOdin though as only have a mac!

I believe the UK note 4 all have fully unlocked bootloader too so if it's sim unlocked that's awesome news. Anything else special I need to be aware of?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
My note 4 is unlocked and I've just going into service mode and had the same as you so I guess it is. Only way to try is put another sim in it but I'm almost certain ee phones are unlocked.

Yeah CSC alignment means you get ota updates but flashing the recent updates is as easy as ota.

I don't think they're anything else to be aware of other than if you decide to root it will trip the Knox counter voiding the warranty.

Just had a look for CSC codes and ITV is Italian which is what I thought it could be.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] nikc0069:
Brilliant. Many thanks. One final thing...as long as I've made more than 5 mins of calls in total I won't fall foul of the region locking? If not then I think I'm ready to flash! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yeah that's it, you need to use a local sim and make or receive a call of 5 minds or over to disable region lock. That's what I've read in my own research.

Happy flashing!

Can you tell if the following has been added:

- torch in toggle menu

- ambient display in display settings

- screen pinning
[Galaxy Note 4 General] supergrobi94:
The most exciting new in OC3 is the comeback of the mute button, auto brightness slider is starting from the left, not the middle, Date in Notibar is clickable, the “new“ don't disturb mode and of course the performance and stability improvements.

What about screen pinning? And ambient display?

This was answered several times already in this thread (it's the SAME VERSION as released a few weeks ago for the Netherlands!):

So: no & no!

I'm not sure what screen pinning is. Tell me where to look and I'll snap a screen shot for you. And ambient display as well, please. I just got my note 4 last week! Lol.

Sorry Sir,

I will never ask again :)

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

Thank you, you was kind enough so far.

I do not really know exactly where to search for. Ambient display should be in display settings, and app pining should be in security. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
I didn't see either of them. Here are the screen shots. View attachment 3249755View attachment 3249756View attachment 3249757View attachment 3249758View attachment 3249759View attachment 3249759View attachment 3249762
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Yeah, I see the bloat. But all I really did was hold it and drag up to either:

uninstall

or

turn off

Which I think are great options and solutions! But do hate Bloat!!! ARG
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
No flashlight toggle then. Screen pinning is in the recent apps. There should be a pin on the right corner of the windows to allow you to pin that window.

This is screen pinning: http://www.cnet.com/uk/how-to/ho-to-pin-apps-in-android-5-lollipop/

Bear in mind that the instructions are for stock android and not TouchWiz.

Ambient display should be under display and wallpaper settings and then above "daydream" setting.

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Seems screen pinning, guest mode and flashlight toggle is on the s5 lollipop version but not for the note 4? Samsung forgetting flagship note 4 yet again?

Edit: the Spanish version recently released has the above options from what I have read. Anyone verify?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
In Spain, only the Vodafone-version (5.0.1 BOC3) was released today; if those options are enabled in Spain (Vodafone), then it should be a CSC-thing!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Frostfree:
What bloat is on the new German ROM?

No! Wait for BTU. Might be released in few days (or later) and is bloatware free.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
The Dutch one is also bloatware free, as I mentioned earlier!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Stop reminding me. This is the second time. I Know! I just prefer BTU for many other reasons.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
Just wondering: tell us your reasons...

Maybe it's a good reason for other users too...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
As simple as this:

- tested with other devices

- zero bloatware

- faster updates

Is this a kind of debate about which CSC is the best?

Is this a way of putting me to the wall for having an opinion?

Case closed here!

PS: i personally tested the release that you strongly suport. It was a total fiasco and i use my phone for business on daily basis, so try to understand that i was so frustrated to charge my phone twice a day that i gladly reverted to Kit Kat from the only trusted CSC i knew so far: BTU.

And guess what. I always keep my wireless / bluetooth / mobile data / and sync enabled for 4 email accounts i use. Even so i still have 15% of battery left at the end of the day after heavy email usage, internet, and phone calls.

Any other questions?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] itzic:
It seems that everyday, a new firmware (or more ) are posted on sammobile, in this order, it's a matter of days till we find the BTU ROM, but like many of us, I hope to bring not only a stable ROM but also that light ambient, its just a simple function that I don't know why is not inserted in the current launched ROMs.

So wake me up when BTU comes out :cool:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
Faster updates: OK; that's why BTU still don't have LP... LOL

But, guess what: ALL Lollipop-firmwares suffer from more or less battery drain, ALSO the Nexus-devices!

In this case, you could better stay on KitKat, till Android 5.1.1 is released (5.1 also has some bugs)...

This is NO debate which CSC is the best, but you were telling us a few times that BTU has NO bloatware; more CSC's have no bloatware...

I 1st used the DBT firmware (initial LP release for the Note 4); the 1st DBT-release was pulled by Samsung!

This DBT-release is the 2nd one in Germany, and tested by the Samsung Experience Store in the Netherlands.

At this moment, BOC3 is also rolled out to Vodafone-branded Note 4's and there's a very big chance BTU will get the same firmware as other countries (in this case BOC3)

So: you will still have the same problems at with other BOC3-firmware from other CSC's!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
From some point of view you are right. So far BOC3 is the last release which is used by the others. Most probably BTU will be released under BOC3 as well.

From my point of view, i do not trust experimental releases, even if i was curious to flash 1st German and then Holland release.

I was dissapointed by booth of them.

Even if i like new releases i cannot afford the luxury of a failure for the reasons previously described.

I also appreciate the lack of bloatware. I simply find myself confortable and confident with what i have, so yes, i strongly consider not to update to lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
I'm running B0C3 from the Netherlands, and only found the battery drain to be an issue when I left it to maintain the screen brightness itself. It seemed to be on very bright, and that appeared to be the cause of my battery drain. I installed Lux, and turned the brightness down, and I can easily make a whole day on a single charge.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] foo:
YAY! Samsung added a scheduling option in the "do not disturb" settings! This was a big annoyance for me in the last lollipop release where this option was missing.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
I'm actually surprised: My battery life has increased with this build. :) I got home with about the same battery life as usual, but I did use tethering for the entire afternoon! So, in my book, that's a bump in the battery life!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] deep!:
I am getting increased battery life in this build compared to other BOC3 Unknown too, it is back to previous level, defo must install if you have unknown build.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] programmieramt:
I don't get it. What is the newest version available for the F version`? And where can i found the link? I scrolled a bit back but did not found anything

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
okay can you help me out then ?

i am from the netherlands, and im using the boc3 with the "unknow country" label from sammobile, someone tolld me that is the netherlands version.

i tought that was a stable release ?

i can use my phone a whole weekend without putting it on the charger.

now i see on sammobile a whole lot of lollipop versions from other countrys.

ive been running the first lollipop DBT release from germany to but the BOC3 that im using now is better from my point of view.

i just dont understand anything about it i tought everything thats on sammobile is stable
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
BOC3 TPD is a very stable release and the fastest, most stable and least buggiest Touchwiz Rom I have used on my UK Note 4. I have little or no issues with it. You can get Android system battery drain with this or any Rom but that's due to Google Play services having being updated a lot recently. Battery life on BOC3 is comparable to the KK TW.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
If you can use your phone for one week without charging it means that this is the outmost you can get from any other ROMs available out there. So stop reading this forum.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
weekend (i take it out the charger friday morning go to work and have to juice it sunday night)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
How on earth are you getting a week without needing to charge? How much do you use your phone? I find it difficult to believe as I'm having to charge it twice a day - I'm more of a power users so that explains why my battery life drains quickly. I've never heard any phone battery run for a week without charging :what::eek:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
thank you ! :D

been cycling up Cm12 and stock BOC3 but i keep returning to BOC3 becouse the camera and battery life.

i have nothing to complain about it (yeah i would love to see xposed working with lollipop samsung roms)

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 PM ----------

weekend (i take it out the charger friday morning go to work and have to juice it sunday night)

then i get 4 - 5 hours of SOT and i dont use my phone that much in the weekend.

but twice a day charging.. nah that sucks man.

if i would play with my phone the whole day even a few games i still go to bed with minimal 40% battery life left.

my wife has a huawei ascend mate 7 and her battery life is even better ! she really plays with her phone all day long and she gets like 6 - 7 hours screen on time easy
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
wish we can use our phones for so long in the future !

but for the first time in my smartphone history i got a phone that lasts long enough for my needs !

if there only was a way to get rid of that ugly touchwiz and keep the great touchwiz camera :p
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I had a play with the s6 TouchWiz and it's fast, and I mean fast! No stutter or anything. Wish they'd port it over to the n4. Read about a new aluminium ion battery that Stamford university have made - charge full power in less than 2 minutes! Early days but this is a great sign and can withstand 7500+ charging cycles! Maybe the full week battery is in our sights!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
I had a play with the S6 yesterday in store also. It's super fluid and fast, if it wasn't for the lack of sdcard slot and removable battery I'd be sold. I wonder how much of the fluidness though is because it's 64bit and using a better and more tuned (Samsungs own) SOC to power the QHD?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yeah I guess we can only know once the full reviews are out and people have used it for a while. If it has a bigger screen like the note 4 size then I'd be some too! But the s series will never get that big so roll on note 5!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
Ok, upgraded once again. Seems to be a much better effort than the first one.

Experienced a crash when using the assistant menu. But who cares, most users won't use it anyway, since it's much too fat, slow and uncomfortable.

Battery life seems to be ok, but not as good as on KitKat, I'd say.

Muss ich full wipen, also auch alles neu machen? oder kann ich das update drüber bügeln mit cache und dalvik wipe?

gibts schon download mirrors? gdrive oder mega?

ENG:

i'm running stock samsung firmware, just rootet and twrp installed. can i run the update with kies, without errors?

Or should i download the firmware manually and flash with TWRP or Odin?

Do i have to Full wipe and install my apps, data etc. from zero on? or can i update, without a fullwipe, just wipe dalvik and cache?

are there any mirrors like mega or gdrive?

thanks a lot :D

If this is how the note is going to be I might end up returning it within my grace period because with so little use.... Screen was 2%!!! And less than 12 hours left estimated battery life... Something is up. And I reset it and cleared cache right after I updated...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
You would wait for the btu release and see how that goes outside, only option would be a clean install
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Would that require me flashing a different csc? Or voiding warranty?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Is that during sleep? If so you, have wake locks. That drain is far too high. To get rid of high drain during screen off, go into your accounts in settings remove your Google account, reboot and sign in again. Then uncheck all the sync items you don't need. Google Services is causing a lot of wake locks with all the syncing it's doing or trying to do and it's causing high drain.

Here's a graph of my battery and you can see its flat when sleeping.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
I removed the accounts this morning and added them again. I already stop the syncing of everything that I don't use. :( . I often see my GPS grabbing on to something! I don't know what else it could be. It's very strange. Isn't it? I had the note 2 and boy did that battery last! And the Nokia 1520 as well. But I know the note 4 has a lot better specs but still... 12 hours is strange. Should I install an app to see what my wake locks are? If so. Which would you recommend?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
If you don't use GPS then turn it off and put on the battery saving option in location services, that will be causing high drain to start with. Also turn off everything you don't need like NFC, Bluetooth, Smart Screen Stay On, WiFi always scanning etc anything you don't need that uses the hardware all the time. Install Greenify and hibernate apps that may run in the background using CPU cycles, Facebook is well known for using a lot of CPU in the background for example. I use Better Battery Stats to work out what's going on and it also tells you if your phone goes into "deep sleep" mode, when my phone doesn't go into deep sleep because of some apps or hardware, that's when I get high drain. PS, you need to be rooted to use Greenify and Better Battery Stats. Ultimately you're powering a QHD display so the battery won't be as good as less specced phones but your drain on that graph is far too high. Most people get 4-5 hours screen on time with a battery tuned Note 4.

For those of you in the UK on O2 there's an OTA update just rolled out today
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Could you provide details on version and baseband etc
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
Yes, I used to get 4 hours or so out of my battery on my Note 4 the first week. I upgraded to LP and ... well, this! I've installed better battery stats, but as you said, I'd need root. I don't want to root it. I don't use Facebook. But the issue is that since a fresh install of LP, I'm getting worse battery life, but the FIRST day was absolutely fantastic. I can't explain it. Oh well...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
It's not Lollipop, as I said most people can get 4-5 SOT with LP as I do (after resigning into Google) . It's likely to be rogue apps running/Google Services causing wakelocks (Google services are a massive battery drain problem) but unless your rooted to see the wakelocks you can't see this. . Try removing your Google account again, apart from that, there's nothing much else you can do without rooting :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zkyevolved:
OK. I'll give it another try tonight. Will clearing cache help? And as for the removal of the google accounts, I'll remove them ALL. Restart my phone. Add only one (which I'll try). Is that about right?

Thanks so much :)
