Yea, it gets in the way of a few things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] v3ngence:
Enjoy the smaller screen!

JK, TBH I wish you guys didn't have so many issues, I only have that weird HR light turning on, otherwise the update has seriously improved everything!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah, I will miss the larger screen size just a little bit, but not nearly enough to pass up the S6.

I've spent the last two days playing with the S6 at Best Buy and AT&T stores, and this is exactly how I've wanted Touchwiz to perform since the Galaxy S3. Samsung FINALLY got the message. The thing looks and runs beautiful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
I could deal with missing the s pen and the larger screen. But the lack of external sd card storage and non removable battery turned me off immediately when I heard the specs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah I can see how those things would turn off some die hards for sure. But the mass majority of people won't care I'm assuming. 128gb should be enough even for the most seasoned users. But I know it comes at a large cost.

For me, I haven't replaced a battery since the Note 2. And I've owned every S and Note device since the S3. And on my Note 4, I have 12gb free of the 32gb internal storage.

But yes, I do understand your concern and there are some users that would be affected and turned off.

But man, the S6 is a dream. It is literally as close to the perfect phone as I will ever own. And I've owned well over 20 smartphones in the past 3 years. That's saying something, to me at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NCzerniak83:
Seems like a minor reason to make a big change. Usually when a company like that gets feedback about a stupid decision, they usually change it. The only phone I can deal with this a Samsung, I've tried HTC and Windows is out of the question lol, also the iPhone is to basic of an interface for my liking, with a lack of customizability. so what I do is just spread my opinions everywhere that Samsung will read it or hear about it eventually. And they usually end up fixing it for the most part.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] saunupe1911:
People that are experiencing lag clearly didn't clear their partition cache, restart their phone, and install the Google Services update. My phone was extremely laggy before this was done. And you guys trading your phones in are extremely crazy... to each his own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NCzerniak83:
Exactly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Odischeese:
I tried getting the google play services update, it would stop at 29%. I gave up on it. Is there a way I can update it or...?

EDIT: I already got the update. Nvm that

Phone still is laggy for me. Especially when trying to unlock the phone or pull down the notification bar. A restart helps but it's happens too much :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NCzerniak83:
Try going into Application Manager, clear data for Google Play Store and Google Services and restart phone. You'll have to type in your Google password again but if that doesn't fix it maybe clear cache partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Odischeese:
Cleared my cache before....trying it again. Everything's buttery smooth as expected. I'll see how long it'll last ^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NCzerniak83:
Sounds like you're waiting for it to fail. Give it a chance lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Odischeese:
I did :( notification bar is starting to slow down (noooooooooo). It's manageable just nothing satisfying. Lockscreen is super laggy when trying to swipe away notifications or open them. Even the unlocking effects lag really bad. I'm restarting it as of right now since it seems like the only fix... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JoseGR52:
Is it possible apps are slowing it down?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] saunupe1911:
I'm enjoying the hell out of this update. It just put the Note 4 even higher on the pedestal as a top Android Phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Odischeese:
hmmmm. I'll look around and check anything that I don't need but, after that. Idk....................
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Thanks, that's worth considering. Does it still work for you after the upgrade? I see some user comments that the app is incompatible with Lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
Actually I'm not sure after a clean install from recovery the other day I never reinstalled it yet,maybe I'll try it later.But the widget works,in the settings somewhere I was messing with the sound settings and it guided me to download that all sounds off widget,I would have never known there was even a widget for that.I think there doing things like that now like for instance,the camera used to have all the different shot options in the .apk,then around 4.4.2 or when ever if you wanted say photosphere you had to download it.Same applies for certain options now.There all in there they just need to be applied.If you use a launcher like NOVA PRIME you can access shortcuts to activities that are hidden and not accessable threw the TouchWiz launcher.Theres an app called shortcut maker or something that also does this,I would check that out too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] solodV8:
Constantly getting notification sound, unlocking phone and nothing there. No messages, no emails, nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Right but the widget doesn't do what I need unless I can launch it from the lock screen. Otherwise, I can't even get to the widget silently, unless I disable the lockscreen-swipe sound even when my phone is not muted (and I don't want to do that; I just want to be able to mute the phone silently, as I was previously able to do, without having to change or disable anything else).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JoseGR52:
I can confirm Quick click works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] iamStrykyr:
I've had lollipop for an hour and a half now.. Very first impressions scared me. Network connection issues. It was real warm when Samsung guy (Kiefer) at Best Buy gave it back. It made phone calls. Play store wouldn't show all my apps before another connection issue. Got it home and did a factory reset. That cured network issues instantly. Restored it with Kies 3 and it finds my router. It is now fully charged..gotta love the fast charging this thing does. Not warm at all. It downloaded my playlists in half the time of my other Notes..1, 3 and pro all ATT. Missed the 2. Not sure why this is. It's updating like 30 stock apps in the play store but it seems to be taking it's time with that. There may be an update for the play store in it's future. I'm sure once it's done with all those this won't be a noticeable thing. I like this update. It is responsive. The little wave thing it does at the bottom of the scroll list was a neat surprise. If this is how it's gonna be then awesome. Prospective buyers will pick it up and play with it and go Wow...Good job Samsung..Shame ATT are such ****s.

An hour later: Debloater and beyondpod aren't compatible...One of the ANT+ plugins was bogging my updates..did them both separately and now it seems to be going again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tampa8:
Classic case of exactly what I posted. They didn't let the update finish before giving it back to you. You may have made the issue worse with the factory reset if the update had not yet completely finished.

Make sure under accessibility/Vision that Notification Reminder is OFF.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mastaofdacat:
2 things I noticed after my update now :

1. When changing wallpapers from photos app, it freezes on screen cropping

2. My WiFi sometimes automatically turns on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] solodV8:
It looks like that was the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
I would highly recommend doing a factory reset after installing the update. Once you do the factory reset, do the initial setup then restart. When I first did the update my phone was acting weird and I had to reset it a couple time but now it's fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] chanukya:
Changing color scheme for notifications?

Hi folks, does anyone know how to change the color scheme for notifications? In the notifications drop down any status updates used to show in black earlier, but after the Lollipop update they are now showing in white, and I have zebra patterns now where 3rd party apps still have status bars in black and the default phone status bars appear to be white. Is there a master switch somewhere? I'm using Nova Launcher if that makes a difference.. thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JoseGR52:
The themeing wasn't included in the update, we don't have the system theme option
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
Here's a question,anyone see where it says your battery Stat for how many hours exactly you have on one charge is?here's my SOT this is without really any tweaks,but do I have to calculate this myself now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JoseGR52:
That's been weird for me, sometimes it says 21 hours or like 1 day and 7 hours, it never actually gets anywhere near that though so I don't take it seriously anymore
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] diminished5th:
Lockscreen notifications

So I use 1weather as my weather app. And I have ongoing notifications (weather temp displays in my notification bar) but with the latest update, anything in the notification bar gets displayed on my lockscreen. And it's frickin' annoying as hell. I can't stand it. I've tried everything to remedy the issue without having to disable notifications for 1weather in general :( because of this the update makes me sad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
Where does it say 21 hours or 1day 7 hours I don't see that anymore?not for time left but for time on the battery cycle.

Like this time on battery from 4.4.4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NCzerniak83:
I'm confused as all hell...lol

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

When I updated to lollipop it did that but did all my apps at once. Maybe yours are just still getting caught up...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Try NiLS in the Play Store. It mimics the default notifications, but also allows you to not show certain apps. If you use it, change the Notification setting to not show anything when locked. (Settings- Sounds and Notifications- While Locked- Do Not Show Notifications)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] clickchat:
I followed this and it worked out for me: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...1985-can-t-get-ok-google-work-anywhere-2.html.

To fix this issue on lollipop.

1. Goto application management and disable S Voice

2. Reboot

3. Goto Google Now, the Always On feature will no longer be grayed out

4. Turn it on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lebertian:
I can't get safe places to work, even if inset my home as a safe location it keeps asking me unlock my device (I use pattern).

I've tried everything under the sun: deleted data of Google play store and services, deleted cache, factory reset, disabled and enabled location, trusted agents, rebooted the phone 400 times, removed and reentered my home's address in Google maps... and probably more things that I'm forgetting. And it's not working! It sucks because this was my most anticipated feature :(

Is it just me with this issue? Can anyone think of something else I can try?

I've read for other problems people say that "you didn't let the update to finish installing". I'm pretty sure that's not my case, but still, how would one go about reinstalling the update to lollipop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JoseGR52:
Oh woops, didn't notice that was missing. Guess we either calculate it ourselves or find an app that does it for us
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Is it ok to restore from Kies backup after the reset, or does that partially defeat the purpose of the reset?

If you do restore from backup, should it be from a backup that was made before the Lollipop update, or after?

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

I'm seeing this crash as well upon reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tampaboy1984:
Go to settings/applications/all and clear data/cache for google play services and google play store. This worked for me. ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Thanks, that fixed the Play Services crash. (I didn't even have to do anything to Play Store. Just clearing cache and data for Play Services was sufficient.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jaime2563:
Downloaded the new update. Wow what a difference in material design. Running real smooth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] raduque:
I used to think this was a problem too, but then I realized I carry an extra battery in my wallet... and i never have to use it. Moreover, I've never even swapped it in!

As for the removable storage, well, I have both on my N4, and I backup my internal to my computer every night anyway, and with a 128gb variant available, I finally have enough space for everything I do. 128gb is more than half what I have on my laptop (232gb SSD).

Besides, that frees up my 64gb card to go in my V8Pro, and my 32gb card from there gets freed up to go in my quadrotor's camera, and the 16gb from there can go in my Surface 2.

Sure I lose the S-Pen and the bigger screen, but I'm starting to get tired of carrying around 80% of a tablet in my pocket, and I don't use the pen enough to miss it.

For me, an S6 is almost a no-brainer. But not from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tampa8:
In everyday use I have relied on a second battery several times. I can't say I need it everyday but it is often enough that it becomes a selling point for me. When we are in the field it is reassuring to know I have that battery. There is not enough room on the device for all the things I want with me especially for traveling and therefore the SD card is what is the no brainer for me.

With Lollipop rooting has become less a big deal for me also. So many built in programs can be frozen now with many taking up little to no space by deleting updates, deleting data and freezing. And the Samsung "My Files" will move any file I want to the EXT SD. I also see even a few more programs I have can be put on the SD card now. With the Note 4 and my Wife's S4 we have alot of flexibility. At this time I am very happy with the Note 4, the update made it better overall, maybe not WOW better but overall it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nseriessaga:
The only time I've noticed homescreen scrolling lag (jittery movement) is when using Apex launcher, and on top of that only when I had home screen scrolling animation to "none" which is the standard side to side scrolling effect. For some reason the more complex animations didn't lag. Not sure if your using Apex or a custom launcher... but for anyone using Apex, enabling "alpha effect" in the homescreen section of apex settings does the trick.

Im having serious issues with text messaging. Im getting messages from contacts under a different contacts name. Not everytime, but its happened a few times already. Cant pick out a specific pattern on when its happening. One time a message came in under the name "1" but when I click inside thread, it has the correct contact name. This has happened to a friend of mine who's using an M8 also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
I'd highly recommend doing a full reset via the boot screen. Turn your phone off then hold volume up + power + home button. Wipe cache, Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache again then reboot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] exclaimed:
Same thoughts here, I remember everything being instant in ICS 4.0 S3 back in 2012. About the home screen lag, I couldn't get rid of that stutter so I changed my transition effect to 3D rotation.

So far it has been running great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Thanks for the suggestion, but so far for me a factory reset would be way more trouble than it's worth. Since the Lollipop upgrade, I've seen only two problems (widely reported by others here), both easily fixed:

* The pulse-monitor light kept turning on spontaneously (fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Google Fit).

* Play Services was crashing when the phone rebooted (fixed by clearing Play Services cache/data).

The Play Services problem also caused Amazon Instant Video to fail (fixed by reinstalling Instant Video after fixing Play Services).

It's been way easier to fix these few small problems than to do a factory reset. But I'll keep the reset option in mind in case any further problems arise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
If all is working well then no need to factory reset. I was referring to other problems such as apps not working properly or the phone just not working correctly. I do a factory reset after every major update especially when doing a major update.

How fast is this charging for everyone with the fast charger?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ekerbuddyeker:
Here is an annoying bug. Samsung, I hope you read this.

The lowest setting on the alarm sounds is MUCH louder than it used to be, which is unbelievably irritating, especially when used as a wake up alarm, as it now wakes my spouse too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tampa8:
It may be slightly louder though I have many alarm sounds that still are barely heard at the lowest. If it's that annoying there are any number of programs either right on the phone or on a computer that will lower the volume of the sound file.

Can't wait for 6.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] silentecho13:
I've been loving this update. My battery life is back to what it was before nk3. It's great.

The phone is responsive and everything.

There's only one stupid issue I've been having that I'm not sure is a system issue or an application issue.

About 3x a day, I get a popup saying that an application is requesting permission to turn on Bluetooth. I rarely use Bluetooth as it is, and I can't for the life of me figure out what is requesting access. Saying "no" just dismisses it, saying "yes" turns it on and nothing happens after that.

Any ideas?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JoseGR52:

For the data toggle try Lazy Swipe from the play store. Works great on a large phone. Never mind, 4g shortcut does not directly toggle the data on and off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] iamStrykyr:
I had this issue at Town East Mall in Mesquite Tx. with a Tab 8.0 Someone had set up the *Mall Club Coupon Advertise To You* app on the store tablet to take advantage of the free wifi the mall offered. Every time you unlocked the tablet the wifi was turned back on. Since the Square Card reader used internet and it was a Sprint tablet...this became a problem when the wifi would hijack the device mid transaction. In the end I couldn't figure out if it was the Sprint connection manager software on the tablet or the Mall Club app. I honestly wonder if it's possible to force an app on a phone without the owners permission if it connects to some free wifi service like that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] terpin32:
Well it's like the smart connect in the wifi options is on when I get close to a wifi signal but that's not it randomly on when I pulled my phone out of my pocket its on I have to turn it off or I'll be driving down the road and it's a you're connected to wifi or something like that just whenever it feels like

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
since I posted that I've read that Lollipop has prohibited 3rd party apps from directly toggling data, because of a "security issue." Not sure what that means, but at's their story...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ekerbuddyeker:
It's that Damn AT&T smart Wifi app. I disabled it and the Wifi stopped doing that.

It's their way of getting you to reduce data use on their network by pushing you onto open hotspots.

Screen Pinning

There was suppose to be a feature called "Screen Pinning" In Lollipop.

I've looked under Security under settings and nothing.

So yet another feature Samsung/AT&T decided we didn't really need :crying:

Since the update I've noticed a few things.

-Battery sucks for starters.

-When I try to watch video in Chrome there is no sound, unless I open with YouTube app.

-lock screen is unresponsive for about 3-4 seconds, hit or miss

Had none of these issues before update. Just like every other update though, fixes old annoyances and creates new ones!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dr. Evo:
My issues since Lollipop

1) Battery life SUCKS donkey balls! We down 4% in less than 20-minutes yesterday barely doing anything!

2) "Recent Apps" lag has returned and it's worse than ever!

3) Random lag throughout the phone gets so bad at times, I have to do a restart or battery pull.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] borijess:
Not having the same issues besides battery not as good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] exclaimed:
On the contrary my battery life has improved after installing lollipop again and then factory resetting data/cache and finally letting it stabilize for 2-3 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
to your point about no sound in chrome, i had the same problem before lollipop. Its a problem with Chrome, not lollipop. I had to clear the browser cache and history and then sound started working.

for your other issues, have you tried a factory reset? I did that immediately after the update and I have had no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Black89:
My battery life is not the best either. Upgraded to L then cleared cache and rebooted twice, letting it sit for 5 minutes between each time. I am at 67% after unplugging it 3 hours ago, screen 4% Android OS 4% as top consumers.

Heads Up Notifications

Is it normal for the Lollipop Heads up notifications to only work with certain apps?

When I get notifications some show the new heads up notifications while others show the old ticker style notifications. Surprisingly text messages and emails aren't working with the new heads up notifications...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Many of us have done the factory reset and clearing cache, but have the same issues. That's why I have decided to go back to 4.4 this weekend. This update has truly been just one headache after another for me, and others. It was not ready to be released, and I personally wish they would have kept it until it was.
