[Galaxy Note 4 General] xxaarraa:
THIS is what I am extremely interested in finding out - if and how lollipop improves the camera. I love the Note 4 camera, but find that the shutter speed on kitkat to be too slow and if the subject is moving even slightly, it takes very blurry photos. Hoping lollipop comes with a fix for that.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marleyb:
Lollipop did indeed came with a fix for this [MENTION=1134447]xxaarraa[/MENTION], only Samsung did not implemented it in Lollipop on the Note 4 and S5. Have been testing the camera extensively yesterday. Besides some UI changes its all the same as KitKat under the hood. Which is not bad for a phone, but still it's a missed change for Samsung to shine even more. :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xxaarraa:
Darn it. This is bad news :( I have been waiting forever hoping that lollipop would have fixed this.

Does anyone have any recommendations for any other camera apps other than the stock Samsunk app that let you control shutter speed and/or doesn't take blurry photos of moving objects? I have tried google camera, camera zoom etc. and when the subject is still, the stock app always produces better quality photos than either of those.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marleyb:
There are several apps who can do this on Lollipop , but they don't work on Samsung devices [MENTION=1134447]xxaarraa[/MENTION]

Those apps requires that the Samsung actually implements those features. Android 5 Lollipop (the OS) brings the possibility for Samsung to implement those features, and applications to implement those. However, Google left all these features optional for manufacturers From the equation, the Camera app implements everything needed to use those features, Android Lollipop brings developers the possibility implement those features, but if you are not able to use them, is because Samsung didn't actually implement their part on their devices: RAW support for instance requires the Samsung to update the camera driver. I think it will be implemented on the upcoming device though . Samsung would of course like it to see people upgrade sigh :(

To be honest I am really unimpressed by Lollipop. It looked nice on videos but in real life the animations are meh, just a gimmick. The tabs combined with apps in Chrome are insane, fortunately they can be turned off. And the lack of real silent mode is mind boggling.

Does anyone use VPN? And if yes, can you see the local network when VPN on? I could not see my Chromecast with HTC and Nexus devices on KitKat, while Note 4 works fine. I might decide to wait a bit longer if this is "broken" in Lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] xxaarraa:
Thanks for your thoughts. I think I might have a solution for the blurry photos problem. I used CameraZoom yesterday and it does well at freezing frames when folks are moving about. It also seems to saturate colors just a bit more than the stock camera app, which I like. The stock camera app is still much superior, when it comes to night/poorly lit photos. Take a look at the two below - first if CameraZoom and second is stock camera app. I will post more of this in the note 4 pictures thread, just wanted to follow-up here since you were kind enough to answer my question about blurry photos.

IIRC you have to use the back button in order to leave the recent tasks menu on Lolliflop. On KitKat a finger tap on the screen did the job. Which is of course the better solution IMO.

Is this a bug or have they completely changed multi-windows? Can't swipe from the corner to make the app "windowed" anymore, and trying to do so from the recent apps drawer only works with very few apps even if the multi-window symbol is present, including with chrome.

I got multi window from swiping from the corner just fine. It just is really really hard to get right.

've noticed that with location turned on, the phone pulls location after every unlock (i have swipe unlock turned on) and seems that google play services has location usage high. this didn't happen in kitkat where a also had the location turned on. i dont have google now activated and location reporting and history is off. do you have any idea why this is happening? thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pedmond:
It must be the weather widget.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ionutparvan:
The weather widget autorefresh is off. I disabled weather on lockscreen with no change. Location still gets pulled after unlock. It must be something else.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariosraptor:
I see very high google services. Facebook. OS usage. This didn't happen on KK
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ionutparvan:
In kk a had high android os and system usage but Google services and Facebook were low. In lollipop they are almost at the top.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariosraptor:
In my case those all are even much higher than the screen
[Galaxy Note 4 General] foxsprout:
It's been like that since KK (don't know about JB). Not only Note 4, I also experienced that during my days with G2. Just turn it on when you really need it. Or it's more useful to use Tasker to turn location on automatically when you open certain apps

Same as mine, screen never gets on top. It's always 2nd-4th. 4 cycles, Play Store tops my battery consumption. Still fresh, no root. Dunno whether it's the Play Store or Lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 General] asbozh:
If you are using mobile data please check the "Total connection time" in the stats of your top battery consuming apps. With the new update during mobile data surfing I get battery drains like this one:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] foxsprout:
During 4 cycles, Play Store takes 'total connection time' almost the same as my screen on time even though I opened it sometimes for under 5 seconds. But right now (5th), I haven't opened Play Store and it's nowhere to be found on battery stats
[Galaxy Note 4 General] asbozh:
Yes. It seems that if you open an app that is using Internet the total connection time is started and it won't stop (even if you were using it for seconds) unless you switch to WiFi or turn off your mobile data and if you reopen it after that it will continue. This is the baterry drain that I found but there is no solution for now..

Just flash official lollipop

Everything is good, battery drain faster (will wait few more charges)

But what wrong with Google, Google chrome remove the tab button ? Then how i gonna switch tab =_="
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marleyb:
You mean this [MENTION=3806680]MsElise[/MENTION] ?

Go back to the old combined Chrome entry a la Kit Kat, Jelly Bean and earlier:

Open Google Chrome for Android

Open the menu

Select “Settings”

Tap “Merge tabs and apps”

Set the slider to off

To be honest I use the stock browser these days, as it works with fingerprint authentication at almost any website that needs a usersname/password, Its a big plus imho
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pham077:
Stock Browser is good until you need to change tabs...

The tab system is a joke, useless animation because it's just too long

I take it everyone else still has a lag in multitasking button? It takes about 2 seconds to launch after a long period of being inactive, but once it's been used once it launches almost instantly. But after leaving it for a while it becomes laggy again :eek:

Can't understand how an entire software version upgrade hasn't fixed this annoying bug - c'mon Samsung. especially considering it defies the whole purpose of multitasking. Using lazy swipe for the time being.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marleyb:
Check Q&A section for a fix on button lag
[Galaxy Note 4 General] somemadcaaant:
Disabeling talk doesn't work, it's not a fix. We would need to keep the task manage system service in resident memory or disable the long press check/menu function.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marleyb:
It works for many users. Why your statement "it doesn't work"?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] somemadcaaant:
How does it alter the recent apps button in any way? After 5 or so mins with many apps open, my unit will still present 3 or 4 seconds of wait time because system has removed it from resident memory.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] marleyb:
I have no idea why it works it does, but I have not seen lag with recent apps button ever, since I changed this. Havings 6 to 8 apps active average all the time.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BilboshmilboBaggins:
I recently unlocked rooted and decrypted my new nexus 6. I was happy with how it performed after this, until I was using it on public wife networks like cafes. Everything seemed to work fine except Google now wouldn't load searches this applies to voice search also. I think the play store wouldn't load as well. Everything works on my home wifi network and on my network data. I have locked it again and gone back to encrypted stock, however despite factory resetting the problem remains. I managed to make the text search and play store work on these networks by skipping all the setup options and setting things up in the phone. However voice search isn't working just loading and eventually saying can't load, and text search works but there is a blank white area above all the links which makes it look like there is a problem. I think while setting up the phone I flashed the decryption boot.img into the boot loader partition by mistake. This seems to be the step that I did wrong and may have caused a problem. Any advice on how to fix this or what might be the cause would be massively appreciated!

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aoleary:
Hi.

I have downloaded a custom ROM, but I want to change the kernel with a standard kitkat kernel, however, from what I have read, it is possible to do that by replacing the boot.img in the custom ROM zip with the boot.img from the standard kitkat.

However when I do that, I get a bootloop after I flash it (having performed a full wipe before, of course). It goes as far as the device logo (so it gets as far as logo.bin) but no further.

I'm pretty new to this, so I dont have anything else modified, other than opening the zip file and dragging, dropping and replacing the boot.img file.

Can anyone give me some tips?

I am hoping not to have to go as far as doing this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748297 :)

Hi,

I am having trouble booting my HTC One M7 (bought and used in India). It was always on stock. It refused to take the OTA update a few weeks ago (and I never tried after that).

Today it stopped booting. It gets stuck on the logo screen. I can get into the boot loader. I even tried to do a factory reset (both bootloader and Recovery mode). But it just goes into a loop. The only way to turn it off is from the bootloader, using the power down function.

I am able to enter the recovery mode as well.

Both of these were obtained by running fastboot commands

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gliraweth:
My Note 2 i317 and I are having some issues lately. To put it mildly.

Some background: When AT&T pushed out the last OTA update for the Note 2 in Nov. 2014, my phone started experiencing network connection issues. Occasionally it would take multiple attempts to make a call, someone would call me but the phone wouldn't ring, etc., all while showing a solid signal. What was a mild annoyance got worse. I ran through the usual gamut of fixes (new sim, factory reset, etc.). As I've traveled for the last few months, I noticed that, while I lose connection every so often, I don't have the same issues I do at home. AT&T reports no network issues, though they have upgraded all the towers in my area to HD Voice. I figured that the OTA update messed something up. I rooted the phone, flashed it back to July 2014 stock (using this: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-2-att/development/rom-att-i317-ucucne5-mj4-stock-odex-t2802189).

The upside is that everything worked smoothly. The downside is that I'm still having the same connection issues.

For example, I'm currently showing -105 dBm (about average in my area), but every time I try to place a call it'll either ring and never connect or default to "emergency calls only."

I'm new to Android modifications, so I'm sure there is something I'm missing and ANY help would be much appreciated.
