Guys,

how do i go back to KIT KAT?

this LP is one nightmare - phone hangs, lags like crazy.

this never happend with KK, plus LP UI is just rubbish.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] patt2k:
To me it looks like you have weak signal and lose that signal? is that correct?.

I always thought weak signal was always bad for battery :good:

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nswenson:
Well, I was very skeptical about doing a factor reset. I held off until now, suffering with my 2.5 hours max screen on time, where I used to get well over 4 hours on kitkat. Wiped data and cache last night and did the google restore upon rebooting into fresh lollipop. Even with the many apps which updated after taking off the charger, I'm now on a path to 5 hours screen on time. The phone is way snappier as well. I have been using the phone heavily today to get the high on screen time, so I haven't tested the idle drain. I suspect it's still higher than what I was seeing on kitkat, but I think I can live with performance and battery life now. There was no way I would get even 3 hours screen on time before I wiped it last night.

Update: Regarding my comments on being snappier after factory reset, I just ran Antutu and GeekBench3 to check against my score I ran just prior to factory reset. I gained over 3500 on Antutu with 50,733 on the very first run as compared to 47,000ish. On GeekBench3 I gained 200 on multicore, with over 3400 as compared to 3000-3200 range. Same apps installed. The phone is running cooler, with less thermal throttling on CPU.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
Just want to understand you correctly, so you DID do a Factory Data Reset and re-installed your apps? I did a wipe as suggested (not the 'FDR') which did nothing for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nswenson:
Yes, I went into recovery and did Wipe Data Factory Reset, and Wipe Cache. Basically started fresh, like out of the box. I restored google backup to get apps back along with some app settings for those apps which support google backup. Night and day difference.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
Thanks. I'll do that in a couple of days. I only did a Wipe Cache...well...I think. I can't remember what that option was, but it was either right below or right above the factory reset option.

can't seem to grab update

Hey guys I'm currently in Texas (any rollouts for us yet??)

When I click on check for new updates I keep getting "software update is temporarily unavailable try again later"...

I've factor reset and everything still saying the same thing. O_o will this affect me from getting the update. Anyone else have this issue??

Really want that update lol!

(If I had 10 posts I'd be able to just display the image I'm getting. I'm sorry!)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
Did you by chance disable anything using Debloater or with the guide to disable Knox and OTAs? Ho'ws your 4g connection, normally? I wonder if it'll update on wiFi. I'm going to guess, maybe try downloading Debloater and make sure you unblock everything. If I recall, there's an Unblock All option, that gatesjunior mentioned. MAYBE that'll solve your problem?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Vibrant7:
So forgive my noobish question here this is my first time doing something like this,

I was noticing the 5.0.1 update is for N910VVRU1BOAF and im running N910VVRU1A(NJ5)

will this even be compatible with my phone by chance? Just wondering before I go into doing this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] JOSHSKORN:
Where did you get the update file? Was it through your phone or did you download a link? If you got it through your phone's system update, I don't see why it would be a problem, if you hadn't previously done something else to your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Vibrant7:
I wanted to manually install the update, From the link below. A poster provided a link to the update files on page, I'll post it here. I'm just wondering if it's compatiable. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
NJ5 was the last full KK release, (there was an interim release of NK5 as part of the Lollipop upgrade), OAF is Lollipop. Which version phone (retail or Dev Ed) do you have and what exactly is your question? A retail phone can be flashed to the standard OTA Lollipop, giving you a Lollipop retail phone. The Dev Ed needs a version that doesn't overwrite the unlocked bootloader, and then a kernel modification to fix the brightness issues when using a KK bootloader with Lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Vibrant7:
Oh I see about the NJ5 vs the OAF thats just the technical name for the releases? I thought it was specific releases for specific phones dumb me.

I have retail btw. So im pretty much good to download the 5.0.1 download then im guessing. I just wanted to make sure that the download provided was compatible with my Note 4.

Also do I need to be rooted? tried my best to research this, many just short cut through it. just making sure I don't brick anything. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ebrinkis:
No root for retail yet, seems unlikely at all though people are still trying, that's why you have to be careful with a Dev Ed phone so you don't convert to retail. The releases are numbered differently for different carrier editions of the phone. The ones mentioned here were specifically Verizon Note 4 versions. You should be able to do an OTA update through Verizon without messing with anything else like ODIN etc..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Vibrant7:
Odin was the route I was about to go also lol! What other method is there besides odin? If you don't mind me asking?:)

My phone won't search for update it tells me the "update service is temporarily unavailable try again later" when i hit 'check for new updates' it's been doing that for weeks which is why I've chosen to manually install the update.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mray99:
I'm kind of stymied regarding this Lollipop update.

I stopped by here a few weeks back hoping to get some help with how to make the update work for me -- I'm on a Verizon MVNO which made it a bit more confusing than the norm -- and was fortunate to get the help I needed. But then once I reviewed the thread in its entirety, I couldn't figure out if I wanted to even take this update. The feedback here on lollipop seems for the most part to be negative, with many wanting to revert to Kit Kat.

So, I guess the question is, does a thread like this just happen to attract people who are having problems and want to find solutions, or are there just very few people out there liking this Verizon Note 4 update??? Do any on you have a positive take on lollipop that makes you happy you went for it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
I'm very happy with Lollipop. It is noticeably faster than KitKat -- so much so that I don't think I could return to it, even if I wanted to. I haven't really run across any problems except rare things that haven't repeated themselves.

For example, on a phone call the other day, my screen wouldn't light up when I went to check something. It just stayed black, as if frozen. The phone call was never affected, though, and it corrected itself in a few minutes. That's happened once in many phone calls. Another (single) time, the phone locked up and rebooted. It's just little stuff like that that very rarely goes wrong.

My single issue with Lollipop is battery life. I used to get 5 hours, easy. Now, I'm getting about 4-4.5. But it's not really a problem for me because I have an external battery and charger. If you don't have one, I very much recommend getting one.

But yeah. My experience with Lollipop has been (basically) nothing but good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
2 posts above yours there's info about someone who had very good luck with flashing the LP upgrade. Someone else said they pretty much cured the battery drain issue by doing the factory reset then manually replacing all apps.

I personally have a Developer Edition phone and which requires a manual upgrade. A custom kernel is required to fix an issue with screen brightness but there are battery tweaks that give the phone amazing battery life. I've had to restart my phone a few times due to ViPER4Android not working when I hook up to the car dock. The restart does the trick.

Anyway I like LP a lot because it really is fast and smooth. I'm hoping for some theming to become available soon because there's pretty extensive use of white backgrounds which is too bright for me. Til then I just crank down the brightness and put up with it. I find I really like the new notifications procedure in LP.

Granted my experiences are a little different since I have the Dev Ed but I'm not alone in really liking LP.

Not sure anyone else has this issue. I don't use Facebook, so when I saw the icon in my app list I headed right to the play store.

I wouldn't worry about it much. As soon as the Odin tar is available a dev-ed safe file can be made. I'm just about 100% sure our unlocked bootloaders will work fine. CM12 works good witch is lollipop also the S5 tar I made for the dev-ed works fine. Just hang in there and you will be running the latest in no time with a unlocked bootloader. ;)

you think so? i was trying to capture the OTA and see and check for it on kies to see or do you already have the lollipop zip somewhere?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] :
Yes, I really think we won't have a problem. I've made a few Odin files for our device and the S5. I wouldn't bother messing with the update, it's much better waiting for the Odin file. It shouldn't be much longer for that. If I were to guess I would say next week for that.
