Media was relentlessly chewing on my battery last night so I pulled my SD card. Went from 4 hours remaining use at 79% to 17 hours remaining at 67% is there something wrong with the way this device reads cards on lollipop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Good question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Black89:
This actually one of the better ones as far as system percentage. Often it's even higher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] cepsbow:
Some variable stuttering, but overall Lollipop seems much snappier. Battery life remained essentially the same for me, but then my usage rarely varies, I'm a minimalist when it comes to apps and connections. Overall it's a decent upgrade.

Did anyone notice there's no longer an option for recording mode? Or am I going crazy. It use to have smooth motion, slow motion, fast motion and mms. I use to always use smooth motion but I wonder if that's default now when recording
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
It still has fast- and slow-motion modes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] stevenj05:
Nice. I just use auto mode. So I'm guessing video mode fhd60p is smooth motion? That's the mode I'm more interested in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
I thought that with OIS, there was no need for smooth motion anymore.

This!

Was wondering the same thing for a while. Had wife send me a few messages as I was watching closely and determined that was what happening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
i Mentioned doing nothing no text lol, Do this play a bit with your phone scroll a bit go to app drawers check things out without doing texting see if you see 4G LTE Go on does it randomly for a few seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
I can confirm this. Mine comes on randomly even when not texting. The other day it stayed on all day along with the WiFi signal. Rebooted and it went away for a bit and would randomly come back for a minute.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
Ok so I'm not the only one lol, at first i thought i was losing my mind hehe anyways doesn't really bother me i just think is weird, so that means everyone gets this and they just haven't noticed it yet in due time lot's will notice this.

I'm pretty sure my 4G icon has only appeared for a few seconds while on wifi. It makes sense if it's using the network for txting, location, etc. But I've never seen it stay on for longer than a minute or so...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
That's the funny thing that i mentioned post above , it will go on sometimes even when i am not doing any texting, it happens randomly just by checking settings or looking in app drawer or just scrolling on your screen and it's for few seconds not long , but as i mentioned it doesn't bother me i just find it weird never use to do that on KitKat lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
I watched it for a little bit to see when exactly it comes on and what else might be on too. It came on when the location icon was updating my location then it went away after it was done updating.

I turned off location then turned it back on and the 4G appeared again alongside the WiFi signal.

I also manually updated the weather widget, that came with the clock on Lollipop, and again the 4G appeared then went away when done updating.

So far we know location is doing it. As far as anything else.... not sure yet. Here's proof.

In this screenshot location is not updating so only WiFi signal shows.

In this screenshot I manually updated the weather by pushing the refresh button located on far right of widget. You can then see location icon appear and 4G appears next to WiFi signal. It goes away when location is updated.

Leave it set to that power save and do your normal thing it will pop up randomly the 4GLTE check every half hour and scroll or go to app drawer play a bit watch it show with power save mode, i am thinking it's some new thing for Lollipop ? ? ?

I saw it pop up for a split second when I was on the Browser app. Decided to do a little research and it turns out that 4G will come up through Verizon or AT&T apps. Their apps will only run on mobile data and not WiFi according to an article.

So I went to a couple forums and it turns out that Verizon users who have Caller ID see this and AT&T users who have Visual Voicemail will see the 4G pop up randomly or stay on lit up. Or in some cases will see 4G on but grayed out (which means mobile data is disabled but location or an app will make the 4G show).

1 user said that it's normal for 4G to show because it tells you you're in a 4G area. I'd have to disagree with that post.

1 other user said having Auto Connect on for WiFi Hotspots (in Wifi>Advance settings) is another culprit to having the 4G showing up.

I disabled Visual Voicemail and have yet to see it come on. I also have Auto Connect disabled as I don't use WiFi Hotspots..

Edit: scratch that. Just saw 4G pop up with those stuff disabled. Didn't see location icon pop up when 4G popped up so it's being turned on by something else. Oh well.

It's the smart network switch in Wifi. It checks if the 4g signal Is ever better than Wifi. Very useful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
No its not. I don't even have that enabled and it still shows up. We aren't worried about it. Just speculating what is making the 4G pop up while on WiFi. If I had to make a guess, I would say it's the phones radio doing updates in intervals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
That's checked off as well and still get 4GLTE randomly.

GPS

Anyone had issues with GPS losing your location while NOT using Google Maps or Navigation? I usually use Waze,which is now owned by Google, and I lose GPS at least 5 times on my way to work and home (28 mile trip one way). I tried out just using Google Maps and Navigation and it never showed that I lost my location. I'm set for High Accuracy. Why would it matter which GPS app I use? I've never had this problem before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
i know someone who had this same exact problem on her S4 (not related to lollipop at all). She had to format her extsdcard and it permanently stopped the mediascanner and saved her battery life.

Fast charge - not so much - Is it my imagination?

Before this update, I was always saying "boy, this thing charges fast!".

Now, I'm always saying "I thought it'd be charged by now".

So, for me, battery doesn't seem to last as long, and fast charge definitely seems slower.

But then, my use is fairly heavy, and very variable as to whether I'm doing hard hitting battery tasks. So, maybe it's just the current usage.

My phone also randomly displays 4G lte for a while. I don't have any texts or anything. It sometimes won't go away until I restart my device

Because of the past few posts on this, I started paying attention to mine, and see I'm having the same issues, though it doesn't stay on for 45 minutes. 20 minutes at the most, but still an issue that needs attention.

I did do a 3rd factory reset and cache clearing, and this time it seems to have settled the lag I have had. But other issues like camera focus, GPS not locking indoors, worse battery life, and now, this.

Thanks for he headaches Google.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Themetnut:
Thanks for the advice, so far today Phone hasn't shown up on my battery list. Android system is keeping the phone awake a little longer than I'd longer like. I'm gong to get about 3 hrs SOT which is what I was getting on KitKat. I'll cycle through a few times to see if things improve.

My note 4 is att version, but I have cricket service, which works off the att bandwidth. Now I asked the cricket agent online if the note 4 att would be able to get lollipop update, I was told yes. Now I'm kind of glad I didn't get that notice for update.

I guess I'll wait till the things are ironed out.

Any ways the kit Kat is working fine

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
Thought I'd tell everyone about my experience with the Note 4 recently. Got it almost three weeks ago. Lollipop update came a few days after that. Took some pics at a car show and noticed that every pic was blurry on both ends of the pic. Took it back to the store this past Monday (which was around 2 weeks after I bought it) after visiting a device service center where they only had one Note 4 there that was also giving the same results with pictures. (the employee's personal phone at the service center had lollipop that was not producing blurry pics). Store replaced it with a brand new one. All is good with the new one.

AT&T store employee told me that Samsung is aware of camera issues that could be related to lollipop and that they have seen lots of problems with the Note 4 since the update - people coming in to ask about it. He says another update to this device will happen. Don't know how true this is though, or even what his source is.

Anyway, I though I'd show you all the battery life I've gotten on this new one with lollipop. Not disappointed at all. Here are some screenshots of my battery and screen time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dr. Evo:
My apologies as I'm sure this has been asked and answered a million times before... but can anyone recommend some pretty easy and effective ways of backing up our phones and possibly even screen layouts, so I can do a factory reset?? I am not rooted.

This abysmal battery life after Lollipop has me at my wits end. Going down 10% in a half hour or less doing relatively nothing. Today, I was at 100% when I walked out of the house to head to the bus stop. That's literally a 4-minute walk. All I did was play music and browse the web a time or two, but not continuously. By the time I got to the bus stop, I was at 96% battery! When I check the battery readouts, it just shows that Android System and Android OS are the two biggest leeches. Nothing else like a specific app or media server, etc. So, it seems to be a Lollipop issue. I can't take this crap anymore!

I'm going to have to massively inconvenience myself and do a reset, but I wanted to know is there a way to backup how my phone is setup without being rooted?? Thanks in advance.

No priority mode access, only Do not disturb which in conjucntion with the interruption menu is confounding to say the least and the limitation to favorites, all or contact list is useless and doesnt even work with half my now huge favorite list (there are many ways a number comes throug with a 1 or a+1 or just the area code etc. Also the battery drain is terrible even with everything i can possibly shut down done. all google seems to do with each upgrade , or att , is take stuff away. before the last update had call recorder...that got removed. and all of this for the calibri font and thin caps...what a waste. and if that damn bootloader wasnt locked i would be out of this rom so fast!

I did a cache clear immediately after everything updated, and then 2... count them 2 reboots after a full load... and haven't had a single problem.

- GPS used to point in every which way but the right way in google maps (when not navigating) That seems to have been fixed.

- Its definitely not a step backwards. I think it is a step forwards, it doesn't have to be a dramatic change to have been a worth while upgrade, just a stable one... and for me it is.

I just want to say this because I too wasn't happy with Lollipop's battery life. Phone was staying awake a lot and battery was draining quickly with screen on and off. After 3 days though, my battery life "settled" and now I'm ending my days with 10% more battery life than on Kitkat. (No change in phone usage patterns). The phone sleeps now too. Something goes on for the first couple of days that makes the phone drain battery fast. Once it's all done, battery life improves.

Obviously, if you update to Lollipop and having battery issues for more than 3 days, then there's a different problem occuring.
