i was able to write to my extsdcard via root explorer so does work, although I'm not sure about ES File Explorer

i've only been using it for a few hours and so far it doesnt feel that much different (performance-wise). The recent app button is pretty quick, now. There's always going to be a bit of lag as it needs to pull in the recent apps list but i just tested it and it was only about 1 sec with about 5 apps listed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mastaofdacat:
I do know this . first couple problems I had to do 2 battery pulls . I had a lot of force closes issues . google launcher kept FCing . also , using recent apps button cause it to freeze up . After my battery pulls , no problems . Also , tested GPS and everything works still. Woohoo !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
Just finished restarting.

Recent apps is definitely faster, though there just a bit of a lag. Haven't had a chance to really do anything else, though I really wasn't expecting much of a change under the hood for 5.0.

Ambient Display

I'm disappointed to find that they didn't include Ambient Display. Is there somewhere I'm not looking? That was one of the big reasons I wanted this update.

in SECURITY, scroll to the very bottom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] live4thamuzik:
I found that there is a setting to turn KNOX on and off under security settings On my sm-n910a. The knox setting is off by default, and my phone is noticeably faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] NickOlsen8390:
I did the update from Kit-Kat (With ART Enabled). And it was worlds faster. Specially opening my 1500+ picture gallery.

After that I did a system reset just to start fresh, But even without that it was way faster.

Haven't had any crashes or force closes. And it looks better. So far I'm very happy with the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sweetboy02125:
Everything looks the same(even the Settings tab, location tabs....) beside feeling a bit snappier. No fc yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Ooooooooh, so if I dont want it running 24/7, I keep the on/off switch OFF, but set a schedule?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rsfinsrq:
Exactly. ;) You can test it by setting a schedule and at the scheduled time, the Do Not Disturb icon will appear in the status bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Thanks. I'll try it. Honestly though, I don't know why they don't add text in these settings to tell you this. I mean, I thought the ON/OFF switch was to enable or disable DND altogether. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rsfinsrq:
I thought the same but when I selected schedule a brief pop up did explain how it works. Agree with you the information should be on the setting page and not a brief pop up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] sherpa:
Yeah, they could have designed this a little better. I wonder how many people are going to miss notifications initially.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dr. Evo:
Was a fan of "Do Not Disturb"... until today! I had my DND set to be activate (for today only) between 3AM and 10:30AM. So, imagine my surprise when at almost 12 Noon, I discovered that my DND was still ACTIVE! I checked the settings to make sure that I hadn't done something wrong out of error, and everything was properly set, yet DND was still active. As a result, I missed a couple of important alarms and phone calls! I am so pissed! Never had this issue once with "Blocking Mode." Now I'm afraid to use this stupid crap because I can't take the chance on missing alarms and phone calls.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

I just wrote about this without seeing your post! Exactly the same thing happened to me this morning! And, I went through the settings and did not manually activate DND, but I had set a schedule. Hours after DND was supposed to be turned off, it was still active! I was so pissed this morning I just completely deactivated the crap until I can find out if this is a big problem or just unique.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] frellingfrakker:
I just use Timeriffic. It's free, not device specific, and it works. I've used it since back when I had a Thunderbolt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Seriously? I get so many spam calls (despite being on the Do Not Call Registry) that my phone will be useless without blocking mode. Blocking individual numbers won't help because the spammers use different fake numbers all the time.

EDIT: False alarm. The new Do Not Disturb mode still has the ability to block all incoming calls except from your contacts (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59731570&postcount=204). In fact, DND seems to be just a new name for Blocking mode. It even displays the same circle-bar icon in the notification bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] v3ngence:
I just mute the ring and let it go to voicemail if I don't know the number, seems like a non issue IMO. You don't get more than a few random calls a week do you?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Yes, several a day. Sometimes several per hour. I need to keep the spam calls from ringing in the first place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] v3ngence:
Wow that would annoy me too!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Are there any apps that provide the same functionality as Blocking mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Bodoct:
Is there anyway to turn the notification bars clear? Also I have a app called simple sound profile, it's permanently on m lockscreen now. Is there a way to get this off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] v3ngence:
This looks like it should work, it has a mode to "block all but whitelist" and "block all but whitelist + contacts"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netqin.mm&hl=en

This one too, you can "block all but contacts"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
the over-brightness was a feature before 5.0.1 was installed.

don't manually turn on DND. Set the schedule while DND is 'off' and it will turn on automatically. if you manually turn on DND, even with the schedule enabled, it will stay enabled all day.

Downloading my Lollipop update now. It's downloading quite slow though.

Can anyone suggest a good app to backup my sms/mms messages?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] harlenm:
Seems pretty clear to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
there's no direct app for it. The only way I've been able to configure and use it is from the settings menu in google music > equalizer

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

it is clear, in hindsight. But I thought the same thing.....I enabled DND and then configured the schedule, thinking that it will only work if DND is enabled. I know there's some popup that explains the whole thing but I dont remember seeing that appear on my screen when I first went into that setting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
My Lollipop upgrade installed easily (after I decrypted my device and my SD card--before that, the installation failed). It's been running flawlessly so far--no need for cache-clearing or factory reset.

Regarding the old Blocking Mode's ability to block all calls except from callers on your contact list--the new Do Not Disturb mode seems to have the same feature. The DND settings have an "Allow exceptions" section . You can specify "Calls and messages from: Contacts only".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lebertian:
I can't get Smart unlock to work with safe places. I've set my home address, which shows fine in the map. I've also tried rebooting the phone, turning off and on the location... Any advice on how to make it work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] solodV8:
Is there a way to create, delete, edit files on external SD card now? For some reason I even can't edit txt files. Tried Dual File Manager for moving files - failed, tried to edit txt files with Notepad+ - failed too.:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] peacewise:
It's pretty sketchy for me, even with adding my neighbor's address as well (that I read somewhere, which makes it worth at all). Hopefully it's as easy as a Play Services update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] insang-droid:
Wow.. can't believe they got rid of the menu to silence the phone while locked.

---------- Post added at 07:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

Taking my phone to att to get them to restore my phone. My last Samsung phone ever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Yes, that was an incompetent design decision. Now, in order to mute the phone if it's password-locked, we have to noisily type in the password first. That's just what you don't want if a play has started and you suddenly remember to turn the sound off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
If phones locked,hold the power button to bring up the power menu then you can hold volume down to silence or turn volume up without having to unlock the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tampa8:
Most all the complaints stem from just not being patient including not being familiar with the changes. I waited a long time after each reboot during the update process and it paid off. When it seemed the last reboot took place and I got the message the phone has been updated I waited and sure enough, it rebooted again and updated a few more apps from Delvik to ART.

I rebooted it a couple of times after that just to be sure. So far with one exception of a change that was made everything is better or at least as good. It does move from app to app faster, and Start Up manager and my eyes tells me it boots faster now.

I have not had any of the camera problems either before or after though I always thought it focused a little slow. I don't have S Health activated and do not have the heart beat light coming on.

The one annoyance/change is the disabling of apps to directly turn off/on Data. They took that away before in the pull down notification area and now third party apps won't do it. I keep Data off unless using it as it saves considerable battery life during the day so now it's a three step process. BUT!! To my surprise Handcent can still turn on Data and then turn it off automatically when an MMS is received.

Overall this has been a nice update, nothing earth shattering but some good speed performance changes and the battery already having good lasting time seems if not the same maybe a bit better. Oh, and I agree with a couple of posts the screen seems brighter with colors more washed out at the higher levels. I made it a tick or two darker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Thanks, that works!

I wish they'd document things like this when they change the interface.

This solution still has one problem: before getting to Silent mode, the phone passes through Vibrate mode, where it vibrates briefly in confirmation. The vibration itself is audible in a quiet room (during a play, for example). So it's not as bad as having to audibly unlock the screen, but it's still not a silent way to mute the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
Turn hepatic feedback off,or vibration?come on lol search your settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Thanks, I know how to turn haptic feedback off ("hepatic" means liver-related). But haptic feedback is an essential feature. It would be a terrible idea to turn it off just for the sake of being able to silently mute my phone on infrequent occasions. We shouldn't have to choose now between the two. Silent muting (without disabling basic capabilities) should not have been taken away in Lolliipop. It's not hugely important, but it was a bad design choice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
Yes haptic,just factory reset,was a typo and it auto corrected.Anywho I was giving you options,but vibrate is silent if you want to get technical.I was just pointing you in the direction,you don't have to turn off the haptic,you can turn off vibrations or the sensitivity,you can even set vibration patterns.You can have it not vibrate and still have haptic.They did it this way for a reason,I'll let you figure out why.

Here I'll help you,turn the vibration sensitivity on incoming call off,it won't vibrate when you select it on the lock screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
For you, that worked.

But you cannot say that most complaints come from not being patient because many have done the same things you have, yet are incurring issues.

And since phones that have the same apps, software and OS will act differently, then it is not patient that is the problem, but hardware/software problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Yes, autocorrect is often entertaining. :)

Technically or otherwise, if people sitting nearby can hear it, it's not silent.

Thanks, that worked for me! I had already turned off phone-call and notification vibrations, and it hadn't occurred to me that changing the vibration-sensitivity setting would have a further effect.

It's still not a perfect solution for people who do want the phone to vibrate for calls except when they put it the phone in silent mode. There still needs to be a way to do that silently.

But your workaround is good enough for my own needs, so I appreciate your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] penpencalf:
Updated to Lollipop and then Gmail app, now I lost gmail push notification. Wonder if this is a prevailing issue affecting all note4s.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] solodV8:
I found really annoying bug.

1. Enable any secure screen lock authorization except swipe. Settings/device/lock screen/screen lock

2. Turn on Daydream. Settings/Device/Display/Daydream. Under settings choose - while charging.

3. Turn your phone off, wait when it locks (depends on your settings), plug in charging cable and wait when Daydream kicks in. After that unlock your phone and try to pull your notification bar down. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tampa8:
Understand what you are saying and of course there are some problems, however most of the complaints here, in this thread are what I am talking about. For instance apps updating (actually they are initiating) each time the poster reboots is because they didn't wait for the full update of 5.01 to finish. Can easily happen as the final boots did not happen right away but that's why he/she is seeing that. And the privacy settings are a result of not knowing how to use it, again easily can happen but it isn't a problem with the software, it works as it is intended.

I also see some posts where the poster came back and said to disregard because they took some time to see what they were doing wrong.

All I am saying is there are not nearly as many problems as what seems, or wouldn't be if we waited even a day or two for everything to shake out. I have seen the exact same thing in other electronic forums, the DISH Hopper for instance takes two or so days to get everything working correctly but five minutes after installing I see posts about how crappy the software is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
No problem,it's not really a work around,settings have changed you have more options on a per app basis,same with the settings ui,you can set things up how the user wants instead of system wide,just need to configure things more witch is what we want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
That doesn't seem to be the case, though.

Suppose you want your phone to vibrate at full intensity for incoming calls, except when you put the phone in Silent mode. And suppose you want to be able to enter Silent mode silently, in case you din't remember to silence the phone until you're already in a no-noise environment.

That used to be possible (via the power-button menu). It is no longer possible, unless I'm still missing something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
OK so you hit airplane mode.If your gonna be using the phone when you need it to be silenced then it's not very hard to hit the sound toggle?And if you use smart lock your phone won't be locked if it's on your body you can easily do what you want.

And you do know if you press the volume button down until it vibrates (if you have that on)then hit it one more time down that mutes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
Whether you can do what you want depends on what you want. :) Each of your suggestions for silent silencing requires making other changes that may not be what a person wants (and which weren't required before Lollipop).

For example, I certainly don't want to reduce my phone's security in order to be able to silence it properly! (For one thing, my phone is encrypted, so I have no choice about the locking mode.)

And I don't want Airplane mode in a silent situation because I may still want my phone to communicate (for example, by relaying incoming messages to my watch). I just don't want it to make any noise when it does so, or when I silence it in the first place.

This is a very basic user need that until now was well met, without requiring the sacrifice of any other desired features. There is no good reason for that ability to have gone away. In fact, if they simply swapped the position of Silent mode and Vibrate mode on the slider, putting Vibrate mode at the far left instead of putting Silent mode there, then the phone could easily be silenced silently without disrupting anything else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
It still can,now you don't have to touch your screen it's even easier.

Hold the volume button down until it's silenced then tap one more time,it will be muted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
No, it can't. You're ignoring the "without disrupting anything else" part. You can no longer get silent silencing without abandoning either encryption, secure locking, silent communication in Silent mode, or full-intensity vibrations when not in Silent mode.

If you happen not to want those features, fine. But if someone does want them, you have not offered any reason that they should now be forced to sacrifice any of those features in order to have silent silencing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
Yes you can lol,it's OK you'll figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Nizda1:
Has anyone been able to get a Chromebook working with smart unlock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] morbidz:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] phishfleck:
I'm having this problem too. It's all grayed out. "Always on," "Personal Results," and the ability to Retrain the Voice Model. Did you figure out how to turn this back on?

Home Screen Lag

Even after factory resetting the phone, I am experiencing lag while switching through home screens for whatever reason. when you go back and forth on the same home screen it starts to lag. That is the only lag I experience, anybody having a similar experience?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] mcaleer1:
After a bit of research I figured out how to get the OK Google function back. You must disable Svoice and reboot your phone. Once it boots back up the option should no longer be grayed out. It also seems to work much more reliably on Lollipop than on KitKat.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] harlenm:
I have no issues, other than the battery sucks. Didn't do a factory reset, and I'm thinking of trying that. I struggle to get over 3 hours of screen on time, and the phone barely lasts 8-9 hours before I need to plug it in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] davidstech11:
Overall I like the update. No issues or bugs to speak of.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] borijess:
My battery is definitely getting better after the initial installation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Gary02468:
I don't think so. It's not even a matter of the lock screen. Even if the screen is unlocked and you can get to the pull-down settings, the Sound button there still has to toggle through Vibrate mode on its way to Mute mode. So you still can't silently get to Mute mode.

There is a Sound Mode button that you can add to the Quick Settings tab of the Settings page. The Sound Mode button does let you go directly to Mute mode. But there's no way to silently get to the Quick Settings tab itself. And the Sound Mode button doesn't appear in the pull-down settings even after it's been added to the Quick Settings tab.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] harlenm:
That battery chart is useless, doesn't give you any information about past usage.

Battery Life On Lollipop Awesome i get 1 day and 2 hrs without charging it at all and sot 5 hrs 12min!:good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Kamau54:
I think I'll give kk a few more days, and if things haven't settled by then, I'm going back to 4.4. This update has brought me issue after issue. This morning, when I woke up my phone, my lockscreen wallpaper had changed back to the stock one, and all my albums had disappeared. I rebooted, and they came back, but I still had to reinstall my custom lockscreen wallpaper.. I have also noticed a decrease in my battery life.

I did the factory reset/clearing cache thing, yet I have all of these issues that I did not have before the update to kk, except for the camera focus being out of whack.

All this on a phone I can't even root? ��
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] djmouse:
How about this,just one of hundreds of ways to do what you want,its a widget,but I'm sure you'll have an issue.Theres also an app called quick click you can assign hardware buttons to listen for specific clicks,when screens on,off,locked,unlocked whatever you perfer.I use it for torch light 3 clicks up with my volume button turns on torch 3 down turns it off,you can assign any action you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
I am having the same experience. I thought it was because I didn't do a factory reset, but it's still doing it after I did a factory reset yesterday.
