I did not install any software after flashing lolypop and I do not have any aplication to do that. I'm sure that it came with lolylop.

But I have to admit that I did "dirty" flash. Do you think that I should go back to factory settings?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I dirty flashed mine and have had no problems. Maybe factory reset is the only option for you. From what you have said about it showing "secure" it seems in my opinion that this is knox that is stopping you from making any amendments to the firmware. You are either in Knox or have enabled Knox somehow. What does it say in security under Knox security? Also look under trusted agents to see if Knox had been selected in there.

After this update if I take a picture with camera app and I want to open the picture from the Gallery in Camera app I have a big laggy(cleared cache of Galerry app). Anyone else with this problem? And olso I have some laggy in touchwiz sometimes. I flashed this Lollipop with Odin and clear cache after flashing. I must do something else?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tasmak:
I'm sure. I checked in this thread.

I'm only able to flash files comes oryginally from samsung.

In knox security I have "enable KNOX active protection" set as Disabled.

Trust agent is marked as gray and there is written: "To use, first set a screen lock"

There are few persons in Poland that have the same issue. And as stated in this thread also at xda

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/secure-downloadenabled-t2964156

I'll do factory reset only if there won't be other options. I may loose aplication data and if it won't help I wont be able to restore them as my phone would never accept software that is not signed by samsung.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Everyone has "some lag" sometimes, either root your phone and install a custom ROM or hope that Samsung will push an update for the note 4 with the s6 updated UI...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ste_JDM:
Decided to go ahead and update OTA. Works perfectly so far.

Thanks! actually i cleared cache of the google play service, it didnt help. Cleared data, rebooted, and then i could update the play service. Now the annoying message is gone, thanks for the quick reply anyways!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Performance has definitely improved but theres still stutter and lag at times. I had to do a full factory reset as i was having FCs at times and my CPU speed was stuck on max. Nice to have the update although i just wish it was less Samsung UI and more stock Android UI like. One thing that really is annoying me is the "clear" button in the notifications panel,its almost off the screen and in a strange place under all the notifications.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ste_JDM:
Wow. That's not too bad at all!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jetbruceli:
Actually enjoying the update, please remember it needs some time to let the firmware act. It seems some are not impressed with the speed right after the update. I can tell after a few its getting quicker. Looks great!

Not sure, but downloading 1.74 GB with 50 / 70 kb/s in restriction seems a bit dumb anyways.

It was nice of him to offer another mirror though, wasn't it?

It doesn't work for free users, the size exceeds the download limit.

However, it should work a treat for premium users.

So let's not be ungrateful, shall we? :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tom-Helge:
My post wasn't meant to be ungrateful. It was more of a shoutout that 'Uploaded sucks pretty darn hard if you are not a premium user there'.

He should just specify that the link is meant for premium users so peoples doesn't start to pull their hairs out because peoples starts to use the free / registered download with the restrictions and have to wait half a year for the download to get finished. Because i would still never download anything bigger than 5 MB from Uploaded because of it's restrictions :p.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] FrAN_oC:
Just updated my Spanish Note 4 (Snapdragon version - SM-N910F) with this ROM using Odin 3.09. No need to reinstall everything as it updated correctly. Phone is hot due to the installation, and is still laggy (5 minutes since first Lollipop boot...). I will share with you if my first impressions.

Rgds!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
Lollipop has been working really good so far, haven't even wiped it...don't know if I should or not?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] alphezxd:
My experience was the same. Im about 2 hours in and I still think it feels sluggish. Especially compared to my Nexus 5. Also feels worse than on KitKat. I think I will do a clean install after work today and see if that helps any. Other than that I'm happy. Allthough I wish they could upgrade Touchwiz a little more than they did. Basically feels the same to me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
I never factory reset my phones, unless absolutely necessary and after exhausting all other options. I find that the speed increase after a reset is due to the "cleanliness" of the phone. Once you install your apps again, you're back where you were before the reset, only you have lost a couple of hours from your life. And life is short. ;)

Having said that, if you have problems, like apps force closing, freezes, etc, you may want to wipe cache from recovery and see if it alleviates the problems. If not, yes, a factory reset may be beneficial.

All I'm saying is, 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] FrAN_oC:
I will wait if a fresh install improves performance for you, and will follow your steps this evening after work.

Rgds!!

Hi Guys

How is the Google Maps performance? Is it as laggy as on the German version or was it improved?

(FYI - this video shows how bad was the performance on the German version vs One Plus One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SzT1Vjg2jg )
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
I didn't even know that G Maps was that smooth lol...no it is still laggy on the note 4...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @home:
Is lollipop turning out to be a pile of poo poo
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
910F official Lolipop is here- germany DBT

So far it has certainly been underwhelming. Wouldn't be surprised if by the time they have all issues sorted - 5.2 or 5.3 is renamed to something else.

Android Lollipop is turning out to be the mobile Windows Vista ....

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

Neither did I as I don't normally use it. [emoji15]

So I opened up Maps on my Moto X 2014 and Note 4 (running 4.4.4 as I rolled back) and whilst it's not as jerky as the lollipop one in the video - the difference between the two was still night and day. Moto X 2014 is smooth as silk, Note 4 stuttery by comparison.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @home:
Inclined to agree. I have a nexus 6 and lollipop isn't all that good on that. So many silly implementations. Android I feel is going iOS, silly and too many foods we don't need.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] karolbe:
Never had problems with Lollipop on OPO. It is not Lollipop fault, it is Samsung's fault that they can't get it right. I have been using nightly CM12 on OPO since December and it is smooth and stable, I have reverted my N4 back to KitKat after a week because it was barely usable. Guess it is my last Samsung - but that's different story...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] @home:
It's not that good on the nexus 6. So it's not all Samsung fault
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
910F official Lolipop is here- germany DBT

Yeah my Moto X 2014 has been grand for me and it's only at 5.0 (but others have had issues with it)

However plenty of people on Nexus devices are having some big issues including those on what should be the pinnacle showcase hardware Nexus 6.

LG G3 is not great on lollipop with app refreshes too.

I just think with such a low adoption rate of Lollipop so far (mostly down to fact OEM's like Samsung are seemingly halting wide release until Google sort it out) and with such general bad consensus from the Internet in general (revealing that you still haven't fixed issues even after releasing 5.1 is really inexcusable) the damage to Lollipops reputation is likely irreversible at this stage.

I still want a stable build on my Note 4 however because of the changes it brings to the aesthetics of stock applications. I hate Touchwiz contacts / dialer etc... Which look archaic aesthetically in this day and age - and lollipop build at least addresses that.

However the app refreshes I experienced on DBT negated any of those aesthetic benefits to the point where I'd rather make do with "stable but ugly" KitKat , than "pretty but mental" Lollipop ..

No one has confirmed as yet whether this performance has improved in this new build either.

Me too...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ashatar:
I must agree...the new touchwiz on the S6 looks nice though, but will we every see it on our note 4's?I hope for the best since it is the newest phablet from Samsung.It should by all means receive it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tasmak:
I'm answering to my post but I found this.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-att/help/download-mode-text-bootload

If I understood corectly there is stated that I have locked bootloader and I can do nothing now. Question is why my bootloader became locked while other 910F don't experience that?

I'm sure that it happend while flashing lolipop rom N910FXXU1BOB4.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I have done my own research and have found evidence of Note 4 phones with "secure download : enabled" before lollipop was released. So this had nothing to do with the ability to root or change firmware. All uploads from sammobile are signed by Samsung and are legitimate. There could be a number of reasons why you haven't been able to root. I gave you a number of suggestions that might be stopping you from rooting as it's most likely a setting or app that is preventing you from doing what you want to do. For what it's worth, I've checked my download mode and it says the same thing. I am not going to root my phone to test it as I don't want to trip Knox, but I have come from ank4 to bob4 to boc3 without any difficulties and all done through Odin. Maybe some other people here who have rooted successfully could confirm that in download mode it says "secure download: enabled". ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
so..... would you guys recommend me to install the new lollipop version ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
Definitively YES, even if it will change your CSC...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
And what happends if it changes my CSC ??

I guess that my CSC changes when i flash a custom rom right ?

My CSC is now BOB4 and when i got the phone it was VDF
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Can someone please confirm that poor backgrounded app performance has been fixed in the new Netherlands rom.

I'm Itching to go back to lollipop but just not at the expense of excessive app refreshes.

Thanks.

[YOUTUBE]qQ6gKHZVGpk[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I am getting quite a few apps that are constantly refreshing which dinnertimes causes the phone to lag or show down. I think only rooting and having an app that stops background app restarts is the only option.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Thanks leedsnyc

That's not good news. I know they refresh quick enough (most of the time) but when a device with 3x less ram can keep them in memory its pretty depressing stuff and irksome.

Looks like I'll have to wait for next lollipop release ...... whenever that will be.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
This new lollipop rom is not from the netherlands right ?

it says Unknow country at sammobile ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
Yeah it's a good release, most of the time it's smooth and responsive but there are those occasions when it stutters, usually at the most vital occasions when you need to access something!

I think this is just touchwiz. I am hoping that Samsung will patch the s6 version over to the n4. Other option would be that they put the s6 tw on the n5.

I have cm12 on my OnePlus one and have clean master app which let's me stop apps from loading on boot up and stops app refreshes. Only available through root which I don't want to do yet on my n4. I've just had my n4 replaced so I've got a year left under warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
No as it turned out its the Netherlands Samsung Store devices code.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
VDF = VodafoneNL

I've PHN (NL - unbranded), flashed this firmware and my CSC is still PHN

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

I can confirm (info from SamsungNL), that this firmware IS from the Netherlands, and used in the Samsung Experience Stores!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] avishayil:
From battery-life angle, do you recommend upgrading to Lolipop or staying on KitKat?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
So, why my CSC changed to TPD?

Battery life is very good here, give it a try, you could always downgrade...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
You likely wiped system partition cache after install.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
No, absolutely.

My device is not rooted, dirty flashed over the german one, anything else...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
strange, although I was under the assumption that it changing CSC to TPD was normal behaviour - and your current CSC not matching the rom was the abnormal behaviour - which can be fixed by wiping cache partition or doing a clean factory restore.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
Did you perform a full reset in recovery after the update?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
Mystery revealed!

Flashing a no-regional FW on Note 4 doesn't align the CSC.

Namely the CSC remains TPD and therefore cannot receive OTA updates.

The procedure below realign CSC.

1) get into recovery and perform a wipe data;

2) disconnect the battery;

3) put it back (better wait 10 seconds as always suggest the guides of soft deep clean);

4) enter into download mode at this point, in Odin 3:09, you must remove the tick in "Auto Reboot";

5) by Odin 3:09, load with the "AP" a regional no-brand firmware;

6) connect the device, wait until the box below ID: COM becomes blue;

7) PRESS START.

Device will not restart, it's normal.

9) close Odin and unplug the device, turn it off by removing the battery, plug in, turn it on again always in download mode;

It's important,

don't let it boot

. In that case, you must repeat the entire procedure from step 1;

10) start in download mode and reconnect the device to the PC then;

11) make sure "Auto Reboot" is checked (opening Odin the box is flagged by default);

12) PRESS START.

If everything went right, you made a total debrand and CSC realignment to receive OTAs.

If CSC remains misaligned, OTAs wouldn't arrive.

For confirmation and verification of aligned CSC, dial * # 1234 # as usual.

Thanx to nonsolosmartphone.it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
so... the new update, do or don't ?

If i flash the new lollipop, does the cf-autoroot from chainfire still works ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
That's NOT correct: you CANNOT check your phone's CSC with *#1234#

The CSC you'll see with *#1234# is the CSC of the flashed firmware; but if you DON'T wipe cache/rest out of recovery, your ORIGINAL CSC will stay intact (see screenshots)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
I've wiped cache and my original CSC stayed intact the same...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Or you can just perform a factory reset from the ohone menu after flashing. I did this for my S5 and for my Note 4 every time i flashed Lollipop. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] vysus:
This procedure perfectly clean the O.S., but it doesn't realign the CSC.

If it worked for you, we can figure out things go in a different way from one to another device...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Yes, flash it and yes autoroot still works.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Give it a try, it might work also for you. For me this procedure worked 4 times on 2 phones. My wife's S5 received OTA normally, and my note was not tested yet since no OTA was released so far, but i flashed lollipop twice.

After new rom flashed, activate by pressing next and skip till the end, then perform a factory reset.

Worked like a charm for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GidiK:
This TPD firmware is a single-CSC package, with the CSC files clearly suggesting it's intended to be used in the Netherlands. Though as always with Samsung phones, as long as you are somewhat in the same region, i.e. 'Europe', you can use it without problems. On the CSC-install it removes the packaged instagram, whatsapp and some of the facebook apps. It doesn't include any 'hotel-apps' like the DBT one did. It also disables the IMS* apps and services that sometimes caused the 'texting just got better' messages on foreign installs of DBT.

I noticed after doing a factory reset, that this procedure in itself didn't set the phone's CSC to the firmware's CSC. However, when I did a full restore from Kies and its automatic restart afterwards, it resulted in those CSC's being aligned.

The crashes in Contacts seem to be gone. The crashes on Google Play Services are also not there if you do the Kies-restore properly, i.e. don't restore Google Play Service from your backup.

The WiFi reception seems a lot better compared to DBT. However it is still not fully stable, but at least it is usable and you can leave the 'smart network switch' enabled this time.

The 'smart lock' feature doesn't seem to work as well any more as it did on DBT.

The 'security policy updates' just don't work at all any more; they did on KitKat and DBT. But most people won't be worried about that.

Silent mode is back and on the do-not-disturb setting, you can now specify yourself whether you do want to be disturbed by alarms and stuff. This did result however in do-not-disturb being just an on-off toggle.

I think there's still room for improvement, especially if you check the logcat. But from a user's experience, it's working fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kenf2210:
hi,i bought a second hand note 4 which was on 02 uk so it has all the 02 branding on it,he told me the phone is unlocked & my tmobile uk sim works no problem with it,if i install this on my note 4 will it get rid of all the 02 bloatware ?? splashscreen 02 etc,also it wont remove the unlock would it if he got this unlocked ?

if everything seems ok do i just flash this straight onto phone ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nookcoloruser:
Once it has been unlocked properly with unlock code, flashing a new official rom won't re-lock it.

If however you want a more stable release than either of these lollipop releases, download the unbranded BTU (UK) firmware from Samfirmware 4.4.4 and that should get rid of all the branding with a far more stable OS at current. Then when UK lollipop finally arrives you can flash that or get OTA.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kenf2210:
hi,is it the same using this with odin ? im a noob at this stuff ive come from iphone eek !!! do i just flash it straight onto the phone ? dont do a reset or anything ? is there a link u can post me for this firmware please,ive just downloaded the lolipop one aswell !! thanks in advance ;)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] henklbr:
The "Smart Lock"-feature is working far much better now then in previous DBT-firmware!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Fatherboard:
It's Samsung. Most of the chances that we won't get it officially. Besides, the new note is probably few months away, and I bet that even until then most of the Note 4 variants still won't be receiving Lollipop OTA, just like with the s5.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:

Or is it to soon to tell ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
It's not that great to be honest. I'm finding that I have to charge again at least once in any given day. I'm a high user so it might extend longer for others.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] StevePritchard:
I found that battery life was much better when I managed to do something about the screen brightness. In KK even when auto brightness was selected, you could turn down the level with the slider. This option didn't seem to work for me in lollipop, and it wasn't until I installed Lux that I gained control and have managed to get decent battery life. Interestingly, a friend's S5 with lollipop has the brightness slider working fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] uktechguru:
I still think this isn't the final release as previous post said was for Samsung stores in Netherlands. Let's hope this and other small bugs get fixed. Problem is when will the release come??
