Seems we should have a thread with bugs and if anyone knows how to fix them, solutions since we finally have Lollipop now.

First bug I've encountered is in Google Voice.

If you open the advanced settings, two of the options are grayed out that should be available... they allow google voice to hear you if you have an app open, or the screen turned off, and also to allow you to train it.

If you reboot your phone, you WILL have access to these settings for a short period of time before it dies again. just retain it then.

Voice search works if you have a homescreen open, or if you have google search open, but the additional functionality is busted.

I also searched, and it looks like Sprint users ran into the same thing when they got lollipop a month ago.

Where the hell is the samsung app store? Kind die for Samsung keeps crashing too! Wtf?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
Its called either galaxy gifts, or galaxy apps.

I'd just clear the cache on it though instead of turning it off.. they offer some apps with exclusive add ons, and some freebies you might want.

Also, I remembered something mentioned a few days ago.. go into application settings and turn off dm-ignite.

(Its a browsing snoop app that collects your data, and send it to Verizon so they can share it with marketing partners so they can serve you advertisements in browsers and applications.)

Not a bug, but it seems like one... this game is impossible! Has anyone had any luck with it? (Settings - About Phone - 5 taps on android version to get the lollipop logo, then swipe to get the game)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
When using the power button to lock the device, there is an ever slight delay. The screen goes black but I can still accidentally open an app when setting it down. I did the OTA without factory reset and then ended up doing a factory reset. Still there. It reminds me of what used to happen on some roms back in the SGIII days. It's not a deal breaker and if that's the biggest issue, I can live with it.

Major problems with graphics inside of games. Marvel contest of champions looks like s@#t now. Everything is dark and dull. Have been unable to find any fix for it
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dlang123:
Fyi, when on home if you click the all apps icon, and when browsing all your installed apps hit the menu ellipsis, galaxy apps is an option in that menu. Just lucked out when I found d it.

Last night at 3am, got awoken to my phone vibrating for a notification even though do not disturb mode was on. Even had Llama put the phone to silent, still happened.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bond32:
In the stock touchwiz launcher with the app drawer open, hit the top right button (menu) and at the bottom is "Galaxy Essentials"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bagery77:
Now that is odd. I have not seen that option since I had my Galaxy S5. Thought it was a Note thing. To confirm, it is not there and was never there on my Note 4. Wonder if it's because I purchased from Samsung rather than Verizon. Seems Samsung would include their own Essentials app though. All Verizon apps were present.

You might need to FDR. I also have notifications on lock screen enabled and as long as I don't have any notifications my pedometer shows up

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mobalized:
Do you have weather bug that displays the current temperature in the notification bar? That seems to count as a notification so as long as that's on no pedometer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dr12volt1338:
No I keep my notification bar clear on the left. I think there is a way to set the priority level of weather bug notifications that will keep them off the lock screen. Seems I did it for play store on my S5 as I hated the lock screen notifications for app updates. I just can't remember how I did it.

Note 4Tified
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mobalized:
Changing priority either blocks the notifications on the bar all together, allows them, or leaves them saying "sensitive information blocked". I don't think there is anyway around it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tamelion1117:
My Note 4 seemed very slow at first after the update, so I entered the recovery menu and cleaned the cache partition, and that seems to have fixed it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The Sim:
Swappiness == 130?

I installed on 4/3. BOAF. I didn't factory reset, I did clear the system cache (several times). Pretty much everything seems great! For a while- except, it is burning the hell out of my battery/CPU (which 4.4.4 never did) and I notice (via OS Monitor) that kswapd0 is running A LOT. Even when I am showing 450mb free, kswapd0 is using 6-10%. Often it goes up to 23% and my battery lasts 1/2 what it did before. I've rebooted a number of times, no change.

So, I started looking into kswapd0 and one parameter that is important is 'swappiness'.

I checked : cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

And it says : 130

Yes, 130! That's pretty insane - the standard default is usually around 60 (and could stand to be even less, frankly on a 3gb device like this). But anyhow, 130 is causing major issues!

Us Developer Edition users got an Odin flashable 5.0.1 update. I set it up on mine and my battery life is awesome. It's probably something about the OTA that's messing it up.

Camera Issue

I've noticed that after upgrading to 5.01, I no longer see the focus ring/indicator when using the camera in auto mode (unless I touch a specific area of the screen and manually focus).

Anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Cgordon17:
Has anyone experienced better service with the update? My service used to be great on kitkat but now it's ehh. Want to know if the update helps at all
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
Well had my appointment today at BestBuy and they do NOT have software to flash any of the Samsung phones. The GeekSquad nor the Samsung Experiece Center could not flash my Note 4. So, called CS at Verizon again and was passed off to Samsung directly. The tech at Samsung said after the OTA to LP 5.0.1 the battery drain and app problems are caused from using an older class memory cards. The new directives looks for apps and programs on the memory card and will keep looping this action thus creating battery drain and app closures. I wasn't sure what he was exactly talking about but that's about all I can remember what was explained to me. I had a 16gb class 4 memory card in both of our Note 4s. I have since removed the cards and will report any changes tomorrow after a complete charge and my day of use. I shall see if it is truely the problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stillthisguy:
I don't get great service at my house, mostly always in 3G, but sometimes 4G. But with the 5.0.1 update my phone drops down to 1x all the time. The radio on KK was way better.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
Cool, let us know! I'm not sure how old our sd cards are, or what type they are.

Could the rep there at least do a home restore for you? (That's what enabled me to be able to take the lollipop upgrade.)

They have the home restore software on their pc, and it might enable you to take the lollipop OTA, but odds are like me, you'll have to go home or somewhere with good solid fast wifi is. The wifi at our best buy is woefully slow because so many people there are using it.

I couldn't update there, but once I got home, my phone updated fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
We live in western NC in the mountains, and the service usually sucks pretty bad in a lot of places, but in locations where we couldn't even use our phones before, we are seeing 4g at least 3 bars. I also do runs at a nearby lake, and when we had iffy weather, the gps could drop at times, but I haven't seen one drop at all since lollipop.

I also notice my heart rate monitor is more reliable, but the fingerprint scanner still seems like wasted hardware.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I did take the LP OTA, that's the problem! .... LOL It's the battery drain and apps force closing that is the problem. If this doesn't solve the issues, Verizon has 2 new Note 4s ready to ship to me. Any memory cards lower than class 8 will cause the problems per Samsung Technical Support. The number that is circled on a memory card is the class number.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
Whew! We have 32 gb class 10s in both our note 4s.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stillthisguy:
I don't have a sdcard in mine and still have bad battery as compared to when I was on KK. Seems like they are grasping at straws with what they are telling you.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
That could be the case, but I know I had problems last year with my gopro because even though it had a class 10 SD card, the brands speed still wasn't fast enough for recording hd video. I had to buy a different brand class 10 for it to function properly.

After that I could easily see the note 4 having SD card issues with slower class or inferior cards. (Especially when we are recording hd video at high frame rates.)

Btw, they put the slow MO and the fast mode video recording under the camera modes, not as a setting in video recording now... and we can actually record high speed hd at 30 times the normal speed! That's pretty amazing!!

I also found what i think is a new dual camera "glue" mode.

You select a plane like a tv screen, or a billboard, and the phone automatically tracks it and inserts the front cam image into the plane real time!

Not a bug, but a pretty cool new feature.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
Well, that didn't work! Doesn't matter if there is a memory card or not, still terrible battery life. New phones on their way from Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tu3218:
I highly, highly recommend anyone having finicky issues, to wipe cache partition in recovery. Simple to do and has definitely cleared up issues on my note 4. I even did a factory reset after taking the update. I wiped the cache maybe 4 days ago to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and I'm definitely still seeing the effects of it. I'd definitely give it a shot.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I have wiped the cache and factory reset several times to no avail. The memory and battery leak will be awful until Verizon updates LP with a patch to correct this problem.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcissell:
This is causing my Google Music to only be able to cast 1 song at a time then I have to reconnect to chromecast. Anyone have similar problem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tu3218:
What do you experience from the memory leak issue?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I have no clue. But the memory and battery drain was so bad that we both have brand new in the box replacements running KK 4.4.4. Not even going to update them till Samsung & Verizon get Lollipop fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mademan420:
If you dont mind me asking, how did you go about getting your replacements?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mithusingh32:
You talk to a rep and tell them you situation and how the update is broken.

But fair warning: I had my note 2 replaced 10 times before I gave up and just bought a Note 4. It really depends on stock that has 4.4. Once 4.4 Note 4's are gone they are gone for good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stillthisguy:
Or instead of getting a replacement that will most likely be refurbished, you could just roll back to 4.4.4 using Odin.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
My replacements were new in the box. If you odin you lose the warranty. My old note 4s were only 32 & 45 days old so I was lucky to get a good tier 3 tech support rep to replace them with new equipment. Verizon said they don't expect any new note 4s that will come with LP on them till later this year.

Verizon Lollipop bugs

First tethering has been disabled along with being able to transfer files to your computer. Tethering is grayed out. However, your USB will still charge your device.

When you use the feature under "Sound and Notification-While Locked". You get a pop-up that shows: Show all content, Hide sensitive content and Do not show notifications. If you use the Hide sensitive contect, you are still able to get into your phone without having to unlock it.

So far that is all that I have found
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
That's for lock screen notifications. It has nothing to do with actually being able to lock and unlock the phone with a password or any other protection measure.

It only says that you can/cannot view sensitive notifications on the lock screen when your lock screen is password/etc locked.

Are you saying that enabling that option actually allows someone else to bypass the lock screen or open an app without knowing password/etc.?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dgunman:
Yes I am. When I first used it when I upgraded to Lollipop I tried it out. I quickly discovered you bypass the Lock screen feature.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usmaak:
I did not know that you void your warranty if you odin. Why would that void the warranty? I thought that the only thing that you could do with odin is install LP or KK. How are they even aware that you used odin? Does it trip some switch?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
It trips Knox and the warranty bit.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] usmaak:
Oh, wow. That's good to know. I was going to update my phone to LP using it because there have been reports that people haven't had as many issues doing it that way. I am so glad that I didn't do it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stillthisguy:
I have flashed back from LP twice, no Knox trip. It is official firmware, so there would be no reason for it to trip Knox.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
The trip question was asked but was never definitely answered if flashing back to KK tripped the warranty bit. I'm not taking the chance.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Dwillian:
According to [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] odin back to KK using stock firmware does not trip knox (so your warranty would not be void). See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60322761&postcount=166. Knox is only tripped if you odin custom firmware (which we cannot do unless/until we get root).

Thank you for the clarification Dwillian.

Battery life seems to be considerably worse. I used to go about 40% of a full charge a day and didnt need to charge for 2 or 2 1/2 days. Now its every day.

Also found that I couldnt change notification tones globally. Had to do it in each apps individual settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tu3218:
Nope.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] robfromga:
Here's what I think. I've been on lp for a couple weeks. It's ok at best. And more of a let down. My battery life is worse than kk after wipes and resets. It last all day, but kk had better life.

Overall interface isn't dreamy at all. The notifications suck. They fixed **** that wasn't broken.

My device lags, alot. Home screen transitions are slow and sometimes I get a black screen and have to kill all the open apps. Kk never did that. I can live with out root, I guess. I was happy with 4.4.4. But the 5.0.1 update turned a really nice device into a mediocre device with glaring flaws. Do they not test this crap BEFORE releasing. I can see if this is a new ROM and the developer is upfront about having unknown issues and it's being addressed....but this is a flagship device from a flagship company running a flagship OS.

It's sad
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ucsdsig13:
It's too bad so many people are having issues with 5.01. LP has been problem free for me. Granted, to be on the safe side, I performed a factory reset on KK before taking the LP upgrade and then reinstalled all my apps.

I haven't noticed any difference in battery life, but this is disappointing since Google had promised battery gains on LP due to Project Volta. And I'm disappointed our version of 5.01 is missing the screen pinning function.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
After a reset, then a clean flash of LP 5.0.1, battery life is much better than KK 4.4.4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
LP is fine for me as well. But then the Note 4 is an excellent device to begin with.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] anastatow:
Out of curiosity. What steps did you take to achieve this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mobalized:
From the look of things, fairly heavy use with just a couple periods of standby.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I wiped the phone, flashed KK 4.4.4, then I did a factory rest, flashed LP 5.0.1, then did a factory reset, then installed my apps and the phone has been running flawlessly ever since. No lag, no app force closures, no restarts and much better battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] anastatow:
Did you have a thread you followed for that? Been a while here and I don't want to trip something that could void a warranty or brick the device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I have rooted other phones before so I know alittle about odin and flashing. Just be sure to flash the full firmware and it will not trip knox or the warranty bit. I was hesitant till I read and was sure that it would not happen. I read somewhere, to read twice and flash once! I'm not qualified to give detailed instructions on flashing but there is plenty of material here to read about it. Just search for threads about it. Good luck
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] FlattFoxJohnson:
Screen brightness changing on its own?

Anyone else have this issue? If the phone is on the lockscreen and I pull down and change the brightness slider, say from low to full, then I turn off the screen, then next time I unlock the phone to use it, it has reverted back to low. Before I unlock it and still on lockscreen it has full brightness, but when I unlock and get to home screen it is at low. Hope all that makes sense.

Usually not a problem unless I'm outside and when the screen brightness is set too low, I can't see the screen well enough to use the slider to bring it back up. I end up just swiping randomly around where the slider should be.

Just curious if it's only me...and no I don't have any brightness apps or widgets installed that could be overriding the manual slider.

If no one knows a fix, I guess I'll factory reset since I didn't do that when I took the LP update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
How do you change brightness when the phone is locked?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] FlattFoxJohnson:
From the lockscreen with screen on, just swipe down from the top and it's right there below the toggles... At least it is on my N4. Does yours not show the brightness slider?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
No it doesn't. Do you have a pass code or swipe pattern set?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I can adjust the brightness from a locked screen. But my brightness stays where I adjust it to. I had nothing but problems until I performed the above process to fix my Note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] scarygood536:
screen mirror will not stop. Toggling it in quick settings and pressing "end connection" in settings doesn't ever stop the connection. Reboot required. Samsung TV.

The screen shots of battery life that you posted... do you recall how long the phone had been on without charge. From the way I am interpreting it, it had been on for well over 24 hours with 5 hours of screen on time. Are you finding that battery life is still improved? Lollipop worked amazingly well on my note 4, my only minor complaint was battery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I had 28 hrs 16 mins, 5 hr 15 min of on screen time with 9% life left before charging. The battery life is about 7 hours better with LP 5.0.1. I explained in a previous post here how I installed KK then LP to fix my Note 4. Good luck
