My battery life is still bad, even after hard resetting. GPS has issues I never had before. Very disappointing. .. looking forward to the G4.

Looking at battery life, it's EXCHANGE SERVICES that has used 24% of my battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DroidBlaze:
For those that have bad battery life, even after factory resets, I think you guys might have been unlucky to have had a bad rom flash. It might be worth a try to have your phone reflashed at a best buy.

I have GPS issues too so I can't comment on a fix. However, I had GPS issues on kitkat as well that eventually (I don't know how) went away. I'm hoping the same happens on lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] 56_kruiser:
Hmmm...I hadn't heard of that 'fix'. Just took the back off, and even though I have a set of very small screwdrivers, I don't think any of them will work on those fine phillips screws.

I'm doubting that is the issue for me, as it did seem to start after the update.

I'm tempted to go back to 4.4.4. But re-setting up all the screens, widgets, etc, is such a pain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
I've seen all the posts about how to go back to 4.4.4 KK, but won't the carrier still eventually force the LP update to the phone? Am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] 56_kruiser:
There's a thread out here where you can rung a batch file to disable auto OTA. I"m going to go find it now. Want to ask if a person can still manually do the update if they decide to go back to 5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
This isnt the solution

I've had the Enhanced 4G LTE Services (both regular and roaming) disabled for weeks now and still get the random 4G LTE icon appearing when WiFi is on and connected.

In fact, it showed up yesterday for about 10 minutes then disappeared again.

Also for the record:

I have video voicemail disabled

I have Always Allow Scanning and Auto Connect turned off in advanced WiFi settings

As just stated, Enhanced 4G LTE Services disabled

And I have consistent WiFi signal with Internet connection flowing properly

Location is always turned off (don't need it)

As many have stated, the icon appearing doesn't seem to be an issue. It's just strange.

Though, I would like to know what it's doing. Like, what if ATT (and Verizon since their Note 4s have this phenomenon too) is tracking our locations without our consent or something?

Edit: As soon as I made this post via my tablet, I looked at my phone and the icon has appeared when WiFi is connected. Lol

Only problem I've had on LP was the strange WiFi issue. If I turn WiFi off on this then 4G kicks in then turn WiFi back on it becomes super slow. Only fix I could find was turning my router off then back on and WiFi speeds are back to normal for this phone. Other than battery, gps and all other issuss... I've yet to see any of those and I've been on LP for awhile now. Will be going back to KK once I have Linux Mint set up to work more on root.

I did the same procedure as others. Take the LP update. Let it install and settle. Go to recovery and do factory reset then clear cache twice then reboot and let it all settle for a couple days.

I don't know where you pulled that info from but that is incorrect. It's best to let it go down to 20% then recharge to 100% then wait till battery notification to tell you it's fully charges then you take it off.

I don't even wait for 20%. I've had the Droid 2, Galaxy Nexus, S3, Note 3 and now Note 4 and have had the battery go down to 5% or lower many times and never faced any diminishing of battery life that some say will ruin it.

A lot of info about maintaining battery have been proven as myth and a placebo effect. Even the great debate of Battery Calibrating we used to use in recovery menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] omair2005:
This used to be a fix for the Samsung s3.. figured it might help here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] erick161:
And exactly where did you find your info from? It's incorrect. It causes li-ion batteries unnecessary stress by charging from 20-100%. Read some articles. Small charges are better and easier on them since it develops less heat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] redphazon:
I had battery issues as well. After getting the Lollipop update, performing a factory reset, multiple cache wipes and reboots, then waiting for over a week for things to settle, my Note 4 still suffered increased battery drain while asleep. I might've found a fix though, at least for my particular case.

I was looking through the settings when I found the Enhanced 4G LTE Services option, which was enabled by default. I don't really have a need for HD Voice (I don't think anyone I know even has a compatible phone) so I turned it off, and now the drain is about what it used to be before the update (1% per 2.5 to 3 hours while asleep compared to 1 to 1.5). I haven't done much observation though and the drain rate seemed to fluctuate so the problem may still be there. Hopefully I did fix it. Everything about this update has been great except the battery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Not to be negative, but we should give the new update a few days before declaring this ;)

The issue was pretty random after all, so it could (knock on wood) pop up again, say Friday or something. Who knows? I do hope it is fixed though. It had to be a carrier introduced bug, so maybe ATT noticed it and corrected it.

No change for me. I still lose GPS 4 -5 times on my 50 minute drive from/to home/work.

On a side note, has anyone tried to wipe cache and get an error booting into recovery? My phone acts like it is processing a new update and fails, and the I get to the recovery screen.

Mine always does that when I enter recovery.

My device feels faster post updste. Could be placebo. ..

Several of my icons turned black after yesterday's update. My phone took it without my consent.... Tried blocking it too late. I assume from another thread we can still go back.

I'm going to clear cache and hope I don't have to factory reset...

Edit: Clearing cache fixed it.

I'm also curious if anyone gets a dead android (lying on back) with the statement no command when entering recovery. Actually, I'm assuming that RandomLord (post above mine) is seeing this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
This happened before the updates. nothing to worry about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Well, this last update did solve a couple issues for me; the 4g icon coming/staying on, and my wifi not connecting automatically when I come home. So far, both have played nice and right.......so far. :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] dmm5157:
Ok, I've been back on LP from KK as of Sunday.

I haven't tested the fast charge rate yet, but I have got a couple days of batter usage since I updated.

Today, I'm around 2.7% per hour with low usage. Few emails sent/read, couple of texts and calls, nothing major. That is on-par with what I had with KK, if not better.

[IMG="Battery Usage with LP - Low usage"]http://i62.tinypic.com/169rtop.png[/IMG]

Compare that with the 6% drain I was getting 2 weeks ago when I first updated to LP without factory reset.

Worth noting, when I did this latest update to LP, I did a factory reset, then was very careful about which apps I installed. I still had a ton of apps that I restored via Helium (I'm at 157 apps now, down from 208 before), but I just didn't restore any "old" apps that I didn't use that may not have been updated in a while that could possibly be conflicting with LP.

Going to keep doing some more testing, but I'm finally getting good battery life from LP and the performance is smoother than it was on my recent roll-back to KK.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] omair2005:
you should take it to best buy and have the reflash the firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Your conclusions, along with reported issues as far back as last November, only cements my idea that LP was not ready for release.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] JoseGR52:
Why don't they release updates like this all the time, it only took a few days from the last update vs months.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Because the first one wasn't very good for everyone, and the second one wasn't all that great either. I can't imagine getting 4 or 5 a year like 5.0. That would surely send me over to Apple.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Black89:
My battery life is so much better, never got this good before the last update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
First was a whole new OS that had to be bloated and tampered with by ATT.

Second was just a few patches for said OS because some things that ATT got their greasy little fingers on needs more grease.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] BarryH_GEG:
My battery life went down with the first update and didn't improve much with the second. Samsung updated S Health yesterday and I noticed today's battery life was substantially improved. It still feels like it's behind 4.X but, at least for me, it's definitely better than it wise after the two updates.

Anyone notice their previously inaccessible private photos from KK are back after the newest small update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] GReddySetGO:
Battery sucks.

Navigation no longer works, think something is wrong with GPS. When I open maps, it knows where I am, but when I start navigation it just stays at my starting location as if it doesn't know I'm moving. Then I will get "GPS signal loss" error.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] carelockh:
I haven't been having anymore problems with GPS. I did do a factory reset and wipe cache a few days ago, didn't solve the problem. Then I tried something in dialer using a key sequence I found in a youtube vid... using a NV REBUILD to fix gps locking issues. Drove around and tested Google Maps since yesterday and tonight so far so good.

Hopefully it solves the problem and maybe this will help anyone else if they care to try it out, I know this is was done on note 3 in video but just about the same sequence but in a different order. Just a suggestion although I could be wrong.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
I'd love to try this, but exactly how did you do it. You say that "just about the same sequence but in a different order. Just a suggestion although I could be wrong".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] carelockh:
Forgive me, it was late when I posted this as I just got off work late night.

1. Enter dailer app, enter: *#9090#

2. A menu will come up, tap on the three dots in the top right. Tap on "Key Input" and enter captial "Q", NOT LOWER CASE, capital. Hit okay.

3. Hit the three dots a second time, hit key input again. This time enter "0000" then hit okay.

4. Wait a few secs, another menu comes up. Tap on "UE SETTING & INFO"

5. Next tap on "SETTING"

6. Next tap on "SYSTEM"

7. Then tap "NV REBUILD"

8. Tap on the first option "PROTOCOL, GPS, IMS NV"

Then a prompt will come up saying "PROTOCOL, GPS, IMS NV will be rebuilded. Please restart phone. That's it! Hopefully this helps others it is something to try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] GReddySetGO:
I just gave this a shot. Will report back when I try to use navigation later on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Randomlord:
It helped somewhat but I still get at least 2 disconnects on the GPS on the way to/from home. It's better than the 4-5 times before doing this process. :fingers-crossed:

The lollipop update to my note 4, has been an awesome experience. I didn't realize but the gui and the additional functionalities that have been added are much welcomed. Maybe it's just an update to the newer version but there's something about lollipop and the new TouchWiz os just love it.

No issues with GPS, no major issues at all.

The battery life is of question, but I have done a factory reset and I was told by my friend who's all into this stuff, it takes a few cycles to see the difference in battery life. He's actually seen the battery life get better and it's close as it was with kitkat.

Edit 1: playing with the native mail app. And I must say it's very nice to use. I was always wondering how app ios handled it so well, now it's the same with mail app. I would say it's Samsung bc it's with this update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] omair2005:
Last couple days my phone has been random rebooting. One time listening to NPR One, and another time my screen was off and it restarted..

I factory reset my phone as well.. Notice this happening after the second lollipop update
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Your cpu may have gone bad. My old phone did this and I had to get it replaced under warranty.

I'd rule it out first by trying to go back to Kitkat. If it still happens, then it's the cpu for sure.

Edit

Other symptoms would be rapid battery drain, hot phone, and battery stats showing phone as constantly being awake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] OTSS:
The first Lollipop update was cool - but this last one has really given me worse battery life.

I cleared cache - but I'm not about to waste my time factory resetting....mainly because there is no easy way to do so and restore your past data.

You shouldn't have to do this after an update....

Or is the last update confirmed to give worse battery life?

What is telling is your history showing the phone awake for extended periods without the screen on. You are getting much better signal than I do , so we can probably rule out the phone trying to get a signal. Can you screen shot the process viewer in the developers menu after you have run it for several hours. Long shot, have you done a battery pull? Saw where you had done several factory resets.

Guys, just curious these cooked roms for the note 4, do they have the stylus functioning? That's the main reason I haven't flashed.

Also I'll be honest the lollipop update to the note 4 really made this a smooth phone I don't have any major issues. Function is fast and smooth.

I'll just wait until hopefully we one day have root.

no issues at all, RAM is better handled than KK i have around 1 GB free and doing heavy usage on the phone including MDM from my company and push email enabled, playing a couple of hours, play music online streaming, taking notes and normal whatsapp usage

batt is giving juice for 18 hours (aprox), only "tweak" is screen dim manually.. no lag actually ART runs much better than dalvik, my only issue so far is the bluetooth streaming to my car it seems to be "cutting" randomly or not with the expected quality :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Randomlord:
So I ventured into a Best Buy and they recommended NOT using an SD Card to help troubleshoot the GPS issues. They did a factory reset of my phone, then re-flashed it and handed it back. I still lose GPS connectivity from time to time so I'm assuming I've got a bad phone. Guess I'll be calling AT&T to get this straightened out soon. I'll keep you updated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] demandarin:
I agree. New update sux! My issue is listening to music with headphones. After the update, my phone, on its own free will, will turn down my volume all the way. So I'm always fighting to cut it up while the phone cutting it down. I got an app that locks the volume. As a workaround. Works for the most part but still at times I hear and see the phone fighting with the app to cut volume down while app trying to lock it back at max...ahhhh! Veryyyyy annoying when I'm in the gym trying to workout to music and it keeps f n up my volume. It's not my Urban Armor Gear case doing it either. As I thought the volume down button might be jammed up in case.

Rant over.....battery life not as good as KK. Then they did something new with notification bar up top. Not sure what it is. But something is different and I don't like it :)
