[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmike23:
This is a hardware problem and is apparently common thing. Unlike other phones out there, this camera has moving parts since its an optical image stabalizer (OID), could have been sticking from transport. Slapping the phone will help it focus. You can do a warranty claim or if its still new, just exchange it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldmoney:
i think its a hardware . i was thinking bout having it replace but im over to 14days period. i hate the fact that we bought it brand new and they will replace it with a refurb one and loose the resale value (imei will not match the box) there's a shop here in chicago that charging me 50usd i might go with that. i wonder what fix will they do. i hope they replace the module.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
For 50 take it

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldmoney:
i might do it just worried what will they be doing to fix it. i hope they change the camera modules itself. this issue really frustating.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Well the module is only 19-30 so I think they would change it. Tell them u want it changed and want the old one back.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twolfekc:
Nope.. just need to tap the phone every time you want to take a picture in focus!

Has anyone been able to get this working? If so, how?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spark91:
AOSP lollipop, download official V4A LP, flash it. Set kernel to permissive and install drivers.

On Touchwiz however v4a works via same method, but the devices memory killer always kills v4a even if you have it installed or notification turned on unless you somehow set v4a as high priority to not be killed.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
I think found a solution for TW Lollipop V4A if someone wants to try the last thing I did to get it working.

Freeze SoundAlive with Titanium Backup. Couldn't find Settings/Sound/effects. After searching and trying everything, the last step nearly had me stumped.

If it makes any difference, I'm still on the stock OTA OB7.

If that doesn't do it, I had also installed viper to /system/priv-app in a folder with arm and lib sub folders with the .odex but didn't get a generated .odex.art file in arm folder so I get a quick "Android is updating... Starting apps" on each boot. I'm not sure that Odex is necessary. But since some are saying lollipop oom kills viper quickly, the deodexed version in /system/priv-app folder with lib sub folder may be necessary.

But I believe the permissive kernel is necessary: 3.10.40-N4-Sprint_AELKernel-v1-LP

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggee6688:
How did you get SELINUX into permissive mode? was it the new AEL kernel? I stopped Soundalive and have been using ExtremeBeats. Sounds pretty good. Not like a viper though.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
Yes; AEL. I copied the kernel description but didn't post a link because of the requests not to. But there are links in the old/discontinued thread. That's where I got the kernel.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggee6688:
I saw a new AEL kernel out also. Ill have to give that a go when I get sat down. HOpe it works. I think itll fix my Cleanmaster in shutting down startup apps.

Definitely works with permissive set so selinux.
[Blade General] The_Count:
Hello guys, I'm not sure whether it's a system issue or an app creating the problem but I can't seem to be able to locate the source. All I know is that its symptoms are the following: when the money watching a video on YouTube on landscape mode it forces portrait mode and pauses the video (or vice versa, I'm not 100% sure which is which, I'm holding the phone from the top and the bottom) same when I'm playing game in landscape mode, it forces portrait mode. Also when I was on kik with the keyboard on, it was behaving like it was restarting it momentarily, pulling it down and then up again.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

I figured this would be a good place to have a General thread discussion the problems and solutions for the newly released Verizon Lollipop update.

- Excessive Battery Drain seems to be the main issue

- Power LED Notification light stays lit - may have been fixed by using updated partition components
[Verizon LG G2] jin5:
The power led does not stay lit. it's due to the new feature in the rom that allows the rear lights to stay on with new downloaded apps. unclick that and its fine.

Lock Screen

I'm trying to figure out what clicking on a notification on the lock screen is suppose to do. When i click on it it just shows an empty box. Kind of looks like a blank, missing lockscreen widget. Am I missing something here? I would think it would take me to the app or maybe give me an un-truncated version of what I clicked.

Battery drain is an issue. I'm hoping after a few days of the new update settling in it will get better..
[Verizon LG G2] snake2332:
Wireless charging

I still need to do more testing and observation with this, but my phone hasn't charged at all the last 2 nights while sitting on my wireless charger at home. It's a cheap charger that claims 1A max input (I think) plugged into the LG official charger which is 1.8A. Meanwhile, at work I have an official LG Qi wireless charger using another official LG power supply @ 1.8A. I installed Ampere just now and my wireless charger only registers +20mA. My battery was at 78% and wasn't hot, so it should have drawn more power. I plug the USB cable directly into my phone and Ampere reports around +930mA. I put it back onto the Qi charger and it still says 20mA, yet the battery is charging at a normal rate (from 78% to 92% in like 20 or 30 minutes). i'm curious what Ampere will show on my other wireless charger, the one that has failed to charge my phone the last 2 or 3 nights.

I tried searching for this app I used to use that had a widget that would show you current power draw, then also had historical data with graphs and all. Ampere is bare-bones just shows you current power draw, so it's not nearly as useful. I need to find that other battery app but there are like 30 apps named Battery Widget...does anyone know which app I'm talking about? (EDIT: Found it. It's Battery Monitor Widget, by 3C. It only shows +15mA on wireless charger and +300mA with direct charging while battery at 96%).

UPDATE: Battery Monitor Widget (BMW, hehe) is showing me some more stats for wireless charging and it's not stuck at +15mA the whole time. I think I'll pay the $1.13 to remove ads since AdAway isn't blocking them. I just need to drain my battery and charge it up a few times to get some more info. My battery was already at 96% when I started looking with this app, so the numbers should be low. I see a few entries where it was at +61mA or +42mA, which seems about right for when it's at 99% or 100% battery level.

I don't have a g2 anymore. I have a g3. I wanted to know if anyone is having a audio Bluetooth streaming issue in their car. I use a pioneer avh x4600bt and the music skips excessively after 30 seconds of play.
[Verizon LG G2] al2fast:
Not on 4.4.2. Stream audio for 50 mins each way to and from work almost every day and no issues. Haven't made the lollipop upgrade yet, phone works pretty good as is and don't want to take a battery life hit.
[Verizon LG G2] Bxrider117:
Thanks for the response. I didn't have any problems when I was on kit kat either. I was wondering if anyone had this problem with Bluetooth streaming on lollipop.
[Verizon LG G2] lepa71:
I seems to have battery drain in only stand by mode. I don't know if there is a way to find out if device deep sleeps without a root.

Anybody?
[Verizon LG G2] dgcamero:
Mainly it will not charge properly (6-10 hours for full charge), and it loses charge if you're navigating or using Pandora while plugged in.

Sometimes the whole OS becomes unresponsive, but I think that's mainly from the task manager that was set to clear ram every 12 hours. I turned that off.

The dismal GPS was promised to be fixed with lollipop, and it still sucks just as much as ever.

2 things they got right, however. Auto screen brightness is almost perfect except when it auto dims because it gets warm. Also the camera is faster in the dark! Finally.
[Verizon LG G2] snake2332:
It's like the wired charging is being limited. Wireless charging feels the same to me as it did on KitKat, but I wasn't measuring the charging while on KitKat. I have almost never charged my G2 by plugging it in, but when I do I see really low values and it takes just as long as wireless charging takes. However, I don't lose power if charging while doing stuff like Pandora, at least I don't think I do. I will do a little test and see, but I'll use something a lot more power-hungry than Pandora, like maybe Trials Frontier with full brightness.

EDIT: OK I have some results of a little test:

I played Trials Frontier @ full brightness and no charging for 30 minutes or so. The battery was draining at around 27% per hour or -300mA (-300 seems wrong. I would expect something more like -750mA). I went from 98% to 83%.

I then put it on the wireless charger in landscape, which makes it a little bit of guess-work trying to line it up perfectly with the Qi charger. I continued playing the game for 25 minutes or so. When done, I had 84% battery. It barely gained any charge, but it charged nonetheless. I see two readings in this time frame: first one says I gained 6% an hour and 68mA, the second one said 0% change per hour and -127mA (not sure why it claims 0% for that).

I think what happened was the battery got warm and it cut the charging rate, but I don't know at what temps it does this and stuff. I believe I would lose battery level if I kept playing but I'm not sure. Battery was at 41°C at the time it said my usage was 0% per hour, -127mA.

I think I need to have a lower battery level to start with, then try wireless vs wired and stuff. Has this already been done and I'm just wasting time? I am just curious about wired vs wireless at this point I think.
[Verizon LG G2] lepa71:
I want to report something. I found why my battery was draining. It was Google Now. I never used it, but somehow it got activated during upgrade. I signed out and drain stopped. I hope this would help somebody.
[Verizon LG G2] MrSparky:
After two days on stock 39A

Battery seems to charge A LOT slower on non LG charges. Using the Lg charger and cable seems a bit slower but Ok. I have two G2s one on 27A and one on 39A. Using the stock charger and cable the phone on 27A draws about 1200 mA the one on 39A draws 700 mA. If I use an older charger the phone on 27A draws 800 mA the one on 39A draws 200 mA or less.

Battery drain seems a bit worse on 39A but not terrible. I am comparing to the 27A rooted and debloated. Considering all the extra junk that now runs in the background it's not unexpected.

BT streaming in the car has greatly improved for me with the 39A update. I can now use Viber and Skype call in my car and even switch between phone calls and skype calls. Music streaming also works much better.
[Verizon LG G2] yehison:
sometimes the keyboard behaves somewhat slow

The battery life is bad ..
[Verizon LG G2] Supergirl9801:
The battery drain and slow charge is DEFINITELY an issue. I can't even get through a day with little to no use without needing a charge! Also the keyboard is much more sluggish and sometimes (in email) just doesn't even work at all! Hope they get some quick improvements out. I've tried a factory reset to see if this helps these issues at all. Will report back.

ETA: It seems a factory reset has helped the battery dramatically. It is draining at a much more normal pace now. I have to let it drain down to see if the charge time has improved too.
[Verizon LG G2] Nemi5150:
I just wanted to echo that I am also getting bad battery drain with the upgrade. I can barely make it through the day now. I have never had this problem with this phone.

I also see the phone getting sluggish sometimes.

Anyone try changing back to dalvik from art?
[Verizon LG G2] trent999:
You cannot do that with Android 5.

Android is ART only from 5 on.
[Verizon LG G2] Haxcid:
I have a Pioneer head unit, MVH X370BT digital receiver, I had some initial sync issues but they are all good now. I wiped the Bt device memory on my receiver and re-paired the phone to the unit and it is working great. I did have one issue once where the music it app got stuck in fast forward but that was only one time.

I think I am getting better quality sound now all the way around VS kitkat as well as louder volumes both via Bluetooth and when I am using a set of ear buds.

Has anyone else experienced issues with the microphone during calls? Whomever I'm calling can't hear me unless I switch to speakerphone mode, happens on every call
[Verizon LG G2] James7Bond007:
If you have the "OK Google" hot-word from any screen option enabled with Google Now, try turning this off. This was a problem with the Sprint LG G2 that was fixed by turning off that option - in KitKat. We haven't received our Lollipop upgrade yet.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
I have been running lollipop for about a week.

The thing that really drives me crazy is the lockscreen and shade notifications:

#1 Sometimes I can expand them to show multiple things (like multiple emails) but sometimes it just says 3 new emails.

#2 Lockscreen requires clicking on notification, AND swiping. Before the behavior was just dragging down the notification shade and clicking the notification. Now I see the notifications on the homescreen, I click, and forced to still swipe

#3 Half of the notifications tapped on the lockscreen don't connect to the actual app half the time. Typically I just end up at the homescreen. Facebook and Messanger do this, as well as SnapChat and a few others.

#4 Some notifications won't clear. I've had downloaded a few files and I am unable to dismiss the "Download Complete" notification. I have to actually go into the file downloader app and force close it. I am unable to swipe it off or clear it by hitting "Clear All".

#5 Notification settings is lacking "Sensitive Information" options. If you look up the G3 Lollipop or other lollipop builds, you can choose to disable apps from displaying notifications on the lockscreen and there are options for not displaying the information (Having a notification for a new email, but the notification just says "1 new email" verses "1 New Email from Chasey Lane Subject: I wanna meet up for drinks". The option is just gone.

I do LIKE the ability to press and hold a notification and hit the "I" information button to turn notifications off and on.

I also dislike the Chrome Tabs being individually visible in Recents. Not only does this make it look messy, but it adds a ton of tabs and makes it harder to find the tabs I actually want.

We are also missing DUAL SCREEN mode from the G3 and other LG line. We are also missing App Pinning.
[Verizon LG G2] MrSparky:
I have. On occasion the party I am calling complains that my voice sounds very distorted. It seems to be random, but it did not happen before.
[Verizon LG G2] Poloki:
Make sure you have Advanced Calling turned off.
[Verizon LG G2] jmilacek:
Under "sound and notification" you can change the lock screen notifications to "hide sensitive only."

In Chrome, turn off "merge tabs and apps" to disable the tabs showing in recents.
[Verizon LG G2] mjmjpfaff:
