Yeah I've noticed that with MX Player too, which is unfortunate since I find it to be the best player.

For now I just use the player that comes with ES File Explorer so I can delete after ending the show, not perfect but much more convenient than watching with one app and then opening another and searching for the file to delete it.

Hopefully update for MX comes soon.

Keeping with your car analogy, people are asking for what would be an ecu update which improve/fixes many software issues. Now an engine upgrade would be like asking for a new cpu/ ram which nobody is.

Are you suggesting that if you car was running poorly due to ecu fault that could be fixed with a software update, you would happily live with it and not expect a fix as you bought your car as is? I doubt it
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Dean-xXx:
Well, you are not right about that. LL 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 have quite some very known bugs like the "Memory Leak" which was addressed in the 5.1.1 version together with many other bug fixes. If you want to see a full bug fixes list of 5.1.1 do a google search.

I don't care about the Material Design / New animations (Yes it is more eye candy, but i could live without). The only thing that bothers me, is that a flagship like Note 4 shouldn't be completely ignored and last in the queue for updates. It's annoying when you see low-end/mid phones which costs half the price getting updates quicker and more often than us.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] v1rtu4l:
nobody here is complaining about not getting lollipop 5.1 or whatever because they want their bugs fixed, but just because they had kitkat stock and want more functionality and this is something that you usually pay for. want more functionality for your car ? buy the air conditioning and don't say "but the newer car has the AC stock". samsung is giving you guys new/more functionality with the new software upgrades. you did not get windows 8 for free, if you had windows 7, because it is not a "fix my problems"-update but a real upgrade in terms of functionality.

hardware not functioning the way it should can be fixed by updates, but getting a whole new version of the operating system is nothing anybody is entitled to and it makes me sick reading cheap skates that think they deserve to be given everything right now and at once, because they most probably did not even shell out the whole amount of many but only got the new phone subsidized by the carrier.

it just shows either a total lack of intelligence or naivety to think that you are entitled to anything more than what you get when you bought the phone. it is not a proper business model for samsung to push big updates like 4.4 -> 5 and so on out early. first off it costs a lot of money to develop it and secondly the unemployed or low salary geeks on xda are not the majority of samsungs customers. for every geek that shouts "horrays" when his phone gets updated to the latest and greatest android release there are at least 10 casual users that only want their phone to work like they are used to. now they did do a backup or whatever of the phone and kies updated it to 5.0 and they do not find their apps or settings they are used to and now they think samsung is ****, because the phone stopped working they way they were used to already 4 month after release.

so what you are just saying is, the crying about not getting lollipop was unwarranted because it was unstable software anyways and instead of b1tching like little sissys you should have waited for the 5.1.1 release anyways and not hurry to get 5.0 just because of the material design o_O

[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
The day before yesterday, I decided todo a FULL RESET out of recovery.

Reason: I did a "dirty flash" from KitKat to Lollipop and I had the idea my stby-time was shorter!

Also, due to a "Lollipop-bug" some apps wouldn't update anymore from the Playstore (error -505)

Last but not least: it's always the best to perform a full reset after a major update (in this case fm Android 4 to Android 5!)

I started from scratch again and till now I don't regret it: with the same usage I always did, I got the stby-times back which I had on KitKat!

A happy user now again of my Note 4!

what you read was the answer of an official UK samsung account that said "samsung is at work to deliver fixes and more stability updates" which they answer to every questions. that the guys actuall question was about micro stutters on Lolipop or something was irrelevant. those PR twitter guys have less knowledge about android than a dog knows how to speak, they just give the standard answer all the time and it seems to work, you fell for it
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Hey come on man, that's a bit rude don't you think? If you are using this thread a lot you'll know I don't fall for things and merely reporting what I've read. Can't believe there's backlash just for something I wrote which did say "pinch of salt" which means I didn't fall for it and don't take what was said for granted. Jeez, chill out. Don't need that kind of backlash on here. Why do purple always want to get one up on people when they pay something on here? Just read you did that to the guy who wrote about cm12.1 - it's just an observation. Nothing more. You need to chill otherwise you'll get reported, not by me but by a mod who looks after this thread.

[MENTION=4953755]Dean-xXx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4859778]Ashatar[/MENTION] You should read the article on sammobile about the reason why updates take this long. Apple doesn't have to think about a whole range of devices and doesn't have to contend with a higher authority, like Google, to push updates.

Samsung have to submit their updates to Google who then either approve or reject the update. There are a whole load of steps in between with network operators etc as well.

Apple have one OS and all their phone are of a similar ilk, all running iOS, not a skinned version of the OS like touchwiz, as is the case for Samsung. You can't really compare apple/iPhones to the android ecosystem. Some variants of the phones that manufacturers create are pretty quick to develop the upgraded firmware and some aren't that quick which is why the update aren't coming out in line of flagship/launch date etc. This has been and still is an ongoing issue for the android ecosystem in its entirety, which in itself, should have been enough to prepare you for any delays.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
I am very well aware of that and still the tab S as of now got 5.0.2 and the Note 4 didn't.If they can update their tablet, I don't see a reason how they aren't able to update the note 4 or the s5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Maybe you should direct your frustration and anger to Samsung directly? Not enough people are doing so even though Samsung allegedly read the complaints on message boards et al. Venting on message boards, although cathartic, doesn't get us anywhere in my opinion :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
It sure doesn't.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
i doubt note 4 will get 5.0.2. its meaningless waste of time for samsung. 5.1.1 will be probably the next update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Hopefully they will, in the near future...

[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
I've NO drain at all on BOC5 (after wipe/reset/wipe)!

I think, some apps are causing this on your Note 4, NOT the OS! (read on Tweakers that you have "illegal software" (i.e. FV5) installed on your Note 4!)

Conclusion: DON'T blame the firmware for your "battery drain", but yourself with WAREZZ (i.e. FV5) on your Note 4!

Succesfull flash!

I just successfully flashed the Firmware through Odin 3.09

I back-upped everything through Philz Recovery first, then flashed and I am letting it build some cache now for +- 15 minutes.

After that I will flash the Auto-Root and the recovery again (Philz CWM).

Meanwhile, I am uploading the Firmware to my Mediafire folder! In case anyone needs it.. I'll post the DL as soon as available.

Thanks alot!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
okay, but all my apps were still disabled from the previous version of lollipop, and i use greenify to make my phone sleep.

it was not awake all the time thats whats so weird. and still it drained like hell. so the hell with touchwiz ! hello Cyanogenmod :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Lollipop is a bit of a buggy mess.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @home:
So much for having a Nexus device so you get all the latest software first, all the damn bugs more like.

I recently said goodbye to my Nexus 6 & decided to stick with the Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
The drain comes from Google play services, you'll get it with CM or TW. There's an article by XDA about it. Also, I'd use Servicely to kill apps and disable the Google Update Service. 5.1 might solve some memory leaks however.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dhd1802:
tut tut first rule of xda, full wipe and start again :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
yeah i know this but...

if i flash a custom rom its my choice and i know i will lose my apps and settings and start over again.

but with a stock firmware update i think it shouldnt be necessary to start from scratch every time.

and with the first lollipop update i had no drains and it worked great i was really happy with it, but with the official lollipop update it started to suck...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
The Note 4 will still have the AOSP LP as it's base so whatever the Nexus 6 has in bugs it will still have it in the Note 4. Google really need to sort themselves out in Android M, they not heading in a good direction with their software atm.

Henk, you should read what im saying.

i had a full APK from a camera app (on cyanogenmod rom to try it)

not on touchwiz..

idk where the drain comes from man. i think il go try a full reset...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Yeah, it's like Greenify but it works without Xposed. It's made by the kernel dev Francisco Franco who is quite famous around here. You can disable services as well as kill apps on screen off or whilst the screen is on. There's a Google Play Service XDA recommends you disable, it's called serviceupdate or something similar, it seems to be causing the wakelocks. Be careful disabling services though as you can mess up your Rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I had massive drain and it was Google play services that was the culprit. What I did was to uninstall the Google play update and all Google accounts and restart the phone. Then when you boot back up, go into location and set that to power saving. Then add the Google account that you use for Google play. Only as this one account. When you're done, it'll say that a Google app needs a Google play update. This will show in notifications, probably after you've booted up. Let it go into play store and then update Google play services. You should also check the sync options for all accounts. I found that my Samsung account was syncing calendar, contacts, internet and scrapbook when I don't use Samsung for that so I deselected each option. Then I went into the email accounts and other accounts that had syncing options and deselected all necessary sync options.

Once you've done all this you should find that the battery drain will stop. When you're happy with it then you can start adding Google accounts one at a time.

I know it's long winded but I had the same experience and now, even though I'm on BTU, I have no battery drain and can go at least 24 hours between charges. I'm a moderate to heavy user as well.

Like others have said it's not survivability the firmware, it's the apps. I haven't used greenify or anything like that but I do use clean master from cheetah mobile to monitor restarting apps, slow down of system and monitor junk levels and cache usage. It's pretty good and keeps my phone going.
