It's a kernel problem. It's resolved for me by using a custom kernel like Nadia or AEL.

Has anyone managed to find guest mode or even screen pinning or have Samsung left those out too?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XatroX:
Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought, too.

Since I don't want to root (in a few weeks the s6 will exchange my note) I will stay at kk for the moment.

Playing music without stutters is much more important for me than the very cool overall appearance and feeling of lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Angelu$88:
...ehm mine too. I mean when i flashed the german rom BOB4 it didn't replace my italian csc however this BOC3, that I've downloaded from sammobile, did it. I think that bob4 was multicsc and this is not. :rolleyes:

Is anyone getting the message that Google play services has stopped working? I get it whenever I restart NY note 4. Could be why smart lock isn't working?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] macmobile:
The most important question to me is: Does the damn shortcut for pulling down the notification bar work again (Gesture within Nova Launcher or different app)?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] XatroX:
The gesture works also on BOB4 just update to .materinova22 and give nova launcher notification access.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
It happened to a friend's Note 4: just open Google+ o some other G-apps and update the G-services several times, or at least, all the times it asks you to do.

Then restart and it will be gone then.

News about battery, charged overnite from 21.

Unplugged 3.30 hours ago, it dropped to 90.

Under 4G/4G+ coverage or wi-fi.

Data always on with several push e-mail addressess, RSS and tweets every 60 min., some surfin' the net, some WA, it's GREAT :victory:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Angelu$88:
I don't know then, because I have done a full wipe too(before and after), but this time it replaced my csc. :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Thanks I'll give that a try.

Edit: I uninstalled the Google play services update and restarted my phone. Got a system message saying android wear needed Google play services, tapped on it and chose update. After that, I restarted the phone again and seemed OK but then got the error again. Checked the version number and thought I could uninstall and try downloading the version from apkmirror. Uninstalled update again and found that the latest update that Google play store updated was wrong. The version number had 438 at the end but seems Google play installed the 430 version for some reason. Dunno why. I've installed the correct version by downloading from apkmirror so I'll see how things go with that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
Gave it a try and checked my Country Sale Code (CSC) typing *#1234#.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I figured out what was wrong with smart lock.

1. Make sure you've got the correct version of Google play services (see my earlier post)

2. Go into lock screen and set a luck option - anything other than swipe

3. Go into security and scroll to bottom. Selected "Trusted Agents" and ensure "Smart Lock" is turned on

4. Go back to security and then select smart lock which is right at the bottom

5. Go into trusted places - you might have "home" or "work" already set. For some reason they don't work if the places are pre set for Google now. To get what lock working chose "add trusted place"

6. It should open up Google maps and have your location coordinates. Select the coordinates at the bottom of the page and give it a name. I put it as home again but you can always find other trusted places in the map, pin the location and then select the coordinates given at the bottom and name the place

7. Now lock the screen with power button and then unlock. You should now get a message from Google saying smart lock has a trusted place set

Really long way round but it works without any problems. Adding a second "home" seemed to have activated lollipop smart lock rather than accepting the pre set home that you'll have set up for Google now.

You should have this version (430) on your Note 4 (see screenshot):

(438) is for i.e. Note 3!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
That's the WRONG version; you should have (430) at the end!

(030) is for Note 4 running on KK; (430) is for Note 4 running on LP

Best is indeed, to send your phone to a Samsung Service Point...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Don´t be sorry, it is not your fault. Maybe someone else will know or can look at their´s phone to see how does it look like. Isn´t there something to test that call speaker, earpiece? In service menu (*#0*#) there´s only big speaker test...:confused: About the service centre, I don´t have spare phone and it will take 2-3 weeks at MINIMUM and then they will tell me it is my fault or that it is not fault at all (except of a little mistake in beauty, but they won´t agree with sound problems - they can not hear that etc., you know what I mean)...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GDT:
I updated an Italian ITV note 4, from a 5.0.1 DBT (with ITV CSC). I wiped data from jelly bean to kitkat, but I didn't wipe this time. Phone Info says Original CSC: ITV, Firmware CSC: TPD, Active CSD: ITV / TPD.

For me all seems to be ok, but I've no trace of ambient display and I noticed that some apps where removed from system partition, like facebook, messenger, instagram, page manager for facebook... Well I stil got this apps inside like it was system apps, I can disable them but not uninstall but if I remove updates they will disappear. I'd like to fix this and have them like installed apps and not system apps. How can I fix it? I tried to clear cache data but it doesn't seem to do anything, nor got the counter for building cache at startup.

Are you running it yet ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I thought that 430 was right. I can't understand why it said 438 in application manager after I uninstalled the updates. I'll give it another try but just for the sake of info, smart lock has been working fine since my last post.

Any idea why the version would have been 438 when I uninstalled updates? I have flashed straight from ank4 to bob4 now to boc3 and always downloaded firmware from sammobile.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
Downloading now, hopefully will be done by the time I get back home. Will report back if I find anything that hasn't already been mentioned here.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Where are you based? I had my note 4 sent to the service centre and it only took 3 days from me sending it to them returning it. Not anywhere near 2 weeks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
Europe - Slovakia :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Ah I see. It's definitely a hardware fault and through my own experience, Samsung won't blame you for anything as it is all covered under warranty. Sending to the service centre is you're only option at this point. Maybe ask around friends or family for a spare phone?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
I assume you´ve read my thread, am I right? For example now I called with someone, I´m home, everything is silent and in call I can clearly hear that annoying noise, buzz (like wind or how to describe, I am not so good in English)...and when call volume is higher than the half, it starts to resonate like vibration from earpiece. Do you understand what I mean? Yours are fine, guys? No noise or buzz during calls, no resonation at higher volume??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
Yeps: this build is far much better dan the 1st one of Germany...

I would recommend it! ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Can you tell me how you found out 430 is for Note 4 LP? I've just uninstalled update for goggle play services and then got the error about Google play services and updated via play store. Restarted and now getting errors again for Google play services. I'd be interested in finding out how to differentiate between google play services version and model of phone.

---------- Post added at 04:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

If you turn the volume to full you may get reverb and crackling which could be software related buy it also could be that there is a lose connection which is why you are having to turn the volume up to maximum. In a previous post I mentioned that in the boc3 firmware, the volume had been increased somehow which means that I had to reduce the volume for all notifications as they were too loud. To are experiencing the absolute opposite which makes me believe it is hardware.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
On KK (030) was installed of GPS...

To figure out the right version of Google Play Services for your Android device, go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services, and look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses. You'll see something like -XYY where X is 0 for pre-Lollipop and both 4 and 7 for Lollipop+, and YY is a specific variant id. -738 means you need the APK that has -738, etc.

Note: It seems that -7xx builds became -4xx with Google Play Services 6.5. If you were on -7xx before, you should now install -4xx.

The types are:

Version number has -X10 - universal armeabi CPU

Version number has -X12 - 160 DPI & armeabi CPU

Version number has -X14 - 240 DPI & armeabi CPU

Version number has -X30 - universal armeabi-v7a CPU

Version number has -X32 - 160 DPI & armeabi-v7a CPU

Version number has -X34 - 240 DPI & armeabi-v7a CPU

Version number has -X36 - 320 DPI & armeabi-v7a CPU

Version number has -X38 - 480 DPI & armeabi-v7a CPU

Version number has -X46 - 320 DPI & arm64-v8a CPU

Version number has -X70 - x86 CPU
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
That's where I got my information from too. I can't understand why GPS was 438 before though.

i just followed the instructions and installed 438. Google play store says 430
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
438 is the WRONG version for the Note 4 on LP; 430 is the right one!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I've got 430 installed now but thanks for helping.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] matthew1811:
I am sorry but not sure if I get it right...can you please explain more? You wanna say that what I am experiencing is HW related? So it should not buzz or make any noise during call? (yours is crystal clear while talking to someone?) Btw my signal is full when this happens...it´s certainly not provider related...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
You could have a busted earpiece/speaker. Your signal strength has nothing to do with earpiece/speaker.

Basically you should not be getting crackly noises or buzzing. If you do there is a hardware fault and as you should still be under warranty (unless you rooted & tripped Knox) Get it fixed at a Samsung store or through their customer services dept.

Flashing new Roms / updates won't fix a hardware issue.

i flash uiboc3 lolipop firmwear via odin on n910f .afte then i open camera settings not seen rocrdin mod.what to do?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Hi everybody,

I have installed the BOC3 yesterday on my SM-N910F.

Everything is smoother and faster that previuos German 5.01, but i noticed some bigger battery drain than KK and German version. As i seen in previous pages, this build is for Samsung Experience Stores where the devices are always plugged and might not be energy efficient for every day usage.

Any sugestions?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I had 13% battery drop overnight from about 11pm to 8am this morning. 77% to 63%. Can't say whether that is good or bad. One thing I did notice was that getting the correct version of Google play services has reduced the battery drain I had before since installing boc3. Again can't be certain it was the correct gps version but that's my experience so far. I found that I had to charge at least twice a day with continuous all day usage. Will see what I get today. Since using this morning, I now have had a further 13% battery drop just between 8am and now which is 8:50am.

Dear sam77744, in camera settings there is no such option other than video resolution, for fast motion and slow motion modes check Mode button.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
When you open the camera app, do you have a "mode" option on the left side of the button that you press to take a picture? The slow motion and fast motion is there. Selecting it first will then switch to recording automatically.

Odin Tick boxes

some other site state that I should "Enable Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time checkboxes in Odin. Also, Re-Partition checkbox should be ticked" and this sounded unusual to me as it is usually "Auto Reboot and F.Reset" only. which have you used / is correct. thnx
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lrm537:
I've only just flashed it so a bit early to tell how it will be. Initial impressions are good. It's updating a load of apps in the background and still feels really fast and smooth. Seemigly the battery has taken a hit, but like i said, too early to know that for myself.

If you are just flashing a firmware then only leave Auto Reboot and F.Reset checked, rest is unchecked including Re-partition....

Extract (unzip) the firmware file

Download Odin v3.09

Extract Odin ZIP file

Open Odin v.3.09

Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)

Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

Add the firmware file to AP / PDA

Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

hi,

i had German version .. BOB4 and was overall happy with BOB4.. battery , performance good, smooth etc. Just" recent button "that lagged.

I have flashed .. BOC3 about going.. 2 days now? (did factory reset etc)

rooted,, flash stock recovery CWM and so far found BOC3.. very, very similar to German Rom... battery overnight same drain, +- 10 hours 3% battery drain, smooth, no problems. Only issue i have found is that the recent button still lags.. not fixed, despite seeing earlier post of members saying it has.?

So to me same performance, battery etc as German Rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lrm537:
We now have the On-body detection option under the Smart Lock settings. I didn't have that on the German image, even though it was on my Nexus 5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I've been using the new firmware boc3 for a few days now and have noticed a another performance compared to the German release. Battery is still an issue to be honest. If you're a high user of your phone like I am, you might find yourself having to charge it again later afternoon or early evening. Look at my pervious post this morning about battery drain.

---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

That's the update Google play services. It's not something Samsung have put it. Google have added this across the whole of lollipop under the latest release of GPS. Check out apkmirror for updates. You should be using version ending 430.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
How exactly is this On Body detection works, did someone tested?

Thanks for the info but so far the German rom seems fine for me on my Note 4, battery better than lollipop and performance is faster and smooth

910F official Lolipop is here- germany DBT

How's backgrounded app performance compared to the German DBT release?

I found the German DBT 5.0.1 to be smooth in its general user interface, but terrible for forcing app refreshing when bringing apps out of background. So much so my iPhone 6+ with 3x less ram out performed it by a considerable margin. I had to go back to KitKat because of it.

How is the Netherlands release in this regard ?

[youtube]qQ6gKHZVGpk[/youtube]

Has this aggressive app refreshing been fixed ? If so I'll flash the TPD release - if not I'll continue to wait this out.

Hello again,

Since early morning i try to head shot my battery life. Since i'm not a gamer i did my best to give my battery some hard times. Attached you will see the stats of my battery after 9hrs+ of usage.

From this point i think is great but i still need some opinions from other users.

I must admit the first 10% dissapeared in minutes, making me wonder if it is going to last till midday.

Ps: just flashed yesterday the BOC 3, and this is the second charging cycle since the upgrade.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yes it works fine. Detects when it's in your hand etc. It uses the accelerometer so any form of movement will allow for the phone to be unlocked using smart lock. Only worry is that if this setting is set when you're outdoors and you lose your phone, it'll give anyone instant access to the phone. I suggest using the trusted places option instead.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] apprentice:
Yes I have, it seems to be running without issue. The battery is draining faster but that's common when upgrading. It needs time to settle. Nice to see "Do not disturb" feature is back and contacts haven't crashed so far.

My battery usage since yesterday.

19 hours is quite decent. I've had boc3 for a few days now. The drop this morning was odd after I woke at 8am.

My phone is not rooted and the firmware was flashed over bob4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
I think i will wait to see in a couple of days, i usually charge mine over night so i can have full battery in the morning.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Regarding the battery, using the latest AEL V9 custom kernel and Greenify, I'm getting about 2-3% drain overnight. Normal usage is much the same as KK or BOB4. I see no difference at all. The Rom itself seems fine running on a UK Note 4. Contacts FC is gone and I haven't came across any major bugs or problems. Probably as close to perfect you'll get with a TW Rom.

Dirty flash here. And not rooted.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
I've dirty flashed BOC3 and the brightness control is different to KK. Switching on auto, and then adjusting the brightness seems to have no effect - maybe that's why battery consumption seems higher.

Left my Note 4 under wi-fi connection last nite and battery dropped from 57 to 51, so definitevely yes, battery consumption is, more or less, as with BOB4.

Anyway, can confirm device seems faster and smoother than on DBT.

Just a question: my CSC is UNKNOWN, came from ITV: did somebody noticed a CSC variation downgrading from the BOC3 to its homeland CSC or any other?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
It's possible you might have Knox security turned on or reactivation lock. Try looking in security settings to see if any of these are turned on.

Both are turned off .
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Have you installed any apps that have device adminstration? Usually anti virus or mobile security apps. They prevent the phone from being accessed or wiped.
