I have the same problem! Every caller who calls me gets hung up on after roughly 3.5 minutes.

I was having a battery drain issue on 4.4.4 even after factory reset, but switching to 5.x seems to have solved it. Have 16 hours usage and 3 hours screen time with 40% left ATM.

Have not loaded any non essential apps aside from Google authenticator. Want to continue testing bat drain for 2 or 3 days before loading any customer launcher or apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
I am having an issue with the screen not registering touches. I will be in Chrome, touch the address field and nothing happens. I will hit the power button and bring it back on. It will then work. I did a factory reset after i installed lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] husker97:
I do not have Google fit installed. My battery life is still lousy. I got about 12 hours of total battery with light use. It was unplugged at 7am and died at 7pm.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fluidj:
I updated on Sunday...let it run a day and noticed the bugs so I did a Factory Reset on Monday.......it's now Wednesday and my battery life appears to be finally leveling out and possibly improving. I'll know for sure by the end of today. I'll say that at this time yesterday morning I was already down into the low 80% range. I'm at 89% right now and i've used the phone more this morning than I did yesterday morning.....
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] grncivic2001:
Just updated. Restarted. Having issues with apps staying connected. Facebook doesn't always load feeds. I'm sure it's probably a compatibility issue. The new pop up notification at the top of my screen is kind of annoying. Is there a way to change it?. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Jakezilla3:
Applied the OTA update yesterday and woke up this morning to the red Verizon boot screen and a solid blue LED. It was not animating like it normally does on boot. Phone was unresponsive to all input. Pulled battery and it seems to be working properly now.

I haven't messed with anything, no apps that restart the phone overnight or anything like that. Just running it like a pleeb.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Ahirman:
I updated and decided to just do a factory reset just in case. The only issue I have noticed is my facebook feed will not load properly. It will update but only shows 3-5 things and then pops up saying it can't connect. I've cleared data & cache, uninstalled updates/disabled nothing seems to make any difference.

Edit: I updated the the beta version of Facebook and that fixed it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daveronline:
Everytime I open my keyboard it comes up in the status bar asking me to choose keyboard I have the default set to samsung?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
Update for me. I called Verizon about the screen not registering touches and Google play services forcing close. They were unable to fix the problem. They are replacing my phone.

I did a factory reset immediately after update. I have cleared the cache of play services and the play store. I also uninstalled updates to the store. Non of these fixed the problem.

Poor Battery Performance

With the screen brightness turned all the way down, and minimal use, my battery performance has gone from excellent to poor. I'm not sure if this should be considered a bug, but updates should enhance performance, not depreciate it. Before the update I thought the two spare OEM batteries I purchased were unnecessary...now, they are essential. I would hate to have this battery performance and non-removable batteries, I dislike being tethered to an AC plug (S6 anyone?).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
That is normal. My phone did that before and after the update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] daveronline:
Thanks Mr. Toad I didn't have that before the update. It's not a big deal just something new for me I assumed it was a bug.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
I always have had that too.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] quickstang:
I haven't pulled the battery yet, but my phone is the same way. Very hot. I have power cleaner or one of those apps & there is a temperature reminder. Default is like 140 degrees. The notification pops up multiple times a day. I mean quite a bit. I didn't have this issue before the update. If I did, it was rare. So yes, the phone getting hot is out of control.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
We started seeing issues with fb on mobile yesterday. its also happening on my nexus 7 2013 as well, so I think its a fb issue.

Someone was also talking about the keyboard notification at the top... can that be blocked now with the application manager notification off option?

We were on a local mountain top today, and in the past, we were lucky if we had signal at all up there... today on both our Note 4s, we both had full 4g bars, and could web browse and post hd pics on facebook without issues at all.

We're McLovin Lollipop on our Note 4s!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] RJV3:
Been using lollipop for a couple of days and noticing my battery is draining faster than on Kit Kat. . Gonna keep monitoring it and post up some battery stats in couple of days.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xxVAGRANTxx:
Has anyone noticed when you disable SVoice the camera acts up switching from front facing camera to main camera? Telling me to enable SVOICE. This never happened on KK with SVOICE disabled.

I just tried it here, and ran into the same issue you did. I'll bet they ate using s voice for the audio camera trigger "say cheese".

I has turned it off so google voice would work better. Did you have the audio photo snap option on?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xxVAGRANTxx:
I believe I had the camera audio turned off. I don't use it. I'll try it again.

Edit: guess it kinda fixed itself now

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] supertoast92:
It looks like turning off the voice control while on the front-facing camera did it for me. I had the rear-facing camera voice control option disabled, but I guess the options don't link between the two cameras.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] The Sim:
In USB charge mode, you aren't getting enough power to overcome the increased drain of lollipop and will actually still lose charge overall.

I have actually seen this happen several times even when plugging in the fast charger, the phone doesn't recognize that the fast charger is attached, and only goes into USB charge mode! (this even happens when the system is powered down) Eventually, after detaching and reattaching the power cable after some time, it will go back to normal fast charge mode. (this isn't a problem with my fast charger as it worked perfectly until the day of lollipop update, and the same issue exists with another regular charger - it still only goes into USB mode instead of AC charge mode).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
I use my PC USB port every day to charge my Note 4 while using SideSync at work. I haven't had any problems like you are describing with charging via USB.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] supertoast92:
It probably depends on the capability of the USB port. Most USB ports output 500mA, though some have a sort of "smart charge" technology where they can output upwards of 1A, which would be more sufficient. I wish my machines had this!

OTG doesn't work

Upgraded to 5.0.1 this week.

Has anyone had any issues with your OTG no longer working? Haven't been able to find anything, but suspect it is a kernel feature that has been either disabled or borked.

--THanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
OTG?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] -javier-:
guys why did they remove where it said how long has the phone been unplug, here is what it should look like this is from another carrier.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] DCDD85:
I have this happen to me as well. Only a handfull of times. It would be nice to know what it causing this.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] droidiac13:
I noticed this too. Makes no sense at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Redapple63:
Everyone says this is supposed to be the biggest update yet. I preferred the way my phone worked on kk. Seems like they went backwards on many of the notifications. Such as removal of the battery uptime.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
Phone isn't sleeping properly?

I checked the Advanced Calling, and it's not responsible.

See how the screen is off but the phone is still waking up very often? This was not normal in the older versions of Android, and would normally indicate a wakelock problem - where a piece of software is going rogue and keeps the phone awake against design.

This is how you can test this on your own phone:

1) Plug and charge the phone,

2) Unplug when fully charged, then don't turn on the screen for about an hour - the phone will record the wake up statistics, but will not blow it up so much on the horizontal axis that you cannot see the detail.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcleav:
So, I just got the update thismorning and noticed something strange

If i touch the flash, or the heartbeat sensor i guess, it emits a strong red light

i don't use any apps that actually use the heartbeat sensor, but even with no apps on, it shines a bright red light through my finger when i touch it

what's that all about?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mobalized:
It's been covered numerous times, uninstall google fit
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
I ISN'T that at the bottom of the battery charge graph now?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
You've only lost 1% in an hour and a half. That's not so bad. Same as I get overnight about 6 percentage loss over 8 hours.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mobalized:
Just as another reference point here is 46 minutes with screen off for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Philphil240:
I'm not sure if everyone else is having this problem too.. But ever since the update (Lollipop), my phone's battery has been draining and the phone gets incredibly hot when charging. On an average day I used to get 8-9 hours of on screen time, and now that has dimmed down to 5-6 hours. Anyway that I can prevent my battery from overheating and improve battery life?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jcissell:
I've noticed my wifi turns itself off. Anyone else seeing this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] kls629:
read a couple of the pages, most people think it is related to an app not being updated for lollipop. particularly facebook and facebook messenger, uninstall and reinstall
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thegipper:
8-9 hours of SOT, that is crazy!

I can get like 4-5 hours SOT tops if I'm lucky (on KK, less now on lollipop). How are any of you getting SOT numbers like that? Do share!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cb2000a:
Sticking with 4.4.4 still. Brother warned me about Lollipop after he went with it on his G5 and battery life suffered. We both agreed that sticking with the version of Android your phone comes with is best.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] hokiemoto:
Anybody else have play store notification icons not left aligned like this?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] veteranmina:
One thing i've noticed with lollipop on the Note 4, in a work environment where we have multiple wifi points that are supposed to handoff devices when we move, it does not want to stay connected when switching to the next available ap unlike KK was able to. I have a tab s 8.4 that works flawlessly switching between all the ap's.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
That's still too much compared to KK. It used to be 1% in 3 hours in KK. I bet that wakelock behavior is responsible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
I never got that good. Maybe the best was 1% in 2 hours for me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Philphil240:
Okay.. You caught me red handed. It wasn't really 8 hours of OST, it was more of a day's usage. I'm not a person that uses my phone constantly throughout the day, but I've noticed the time of day when my phone needed charging. With Lollipop, I'm not getting that type of battery life anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] factor0815:
WiFi Hotspot no longer works

After lollipop update I have not been able to connect any device to my hotspot. It sees the SSID fine, but will not connect, either saying "incorrect password " or "timed out"

HELP!:(

Battery Life

Been doing some testing, after first upgrade no wipe there was lots of issues: hot phone, low battery life, app and menu crashes along with about 7 hrs battery life.

Wiped data and cleared cache now no problems. I have been watching netflix, gps and browsing. I am using mainly stock apps, default gmail sync, OK Google NOT disabled and have turned off all possible bloatware with the following results:

As you can see I can easily obtain 4 hour SOT and probably 5 or 6 in power savings or adjusting other options especially if i turnrd off location and did not use maps. BTW screen is set to auto and I am in and out of 4g/3g all day sometimes 1x so this is without perfect signal AND GPS location turned on all day.

I disabled the included amazon app and DL the amazon shopping from Play. works fine now
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
Try resetting the password if that doesn't work call Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] dapimpinj:
I noticed the ever since the lollipop update, all videos I record through the stock camera app or snapchat, have no audio whatsoever. If I send a snapchat video to someone, they get no audio. If I transfer the video to my pc, it's just a video and no audio neither in the phone or pc. Tried clearing the cache. I guess a factory restore will be in order unless someone else has any bright ideas?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] anastatow:
Everything seems to be working great for me after a factory reset. Battery longevity has decreased slightly but has been worth the huge increase in performance I have seen personally.

The only thing I haven't been able to get back is 'OK Google' from screen off. I have it working while charging and it wakes up from the lockscreen. Has anyone been able to get it to wake from screen off or have suggestions for workarounds?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
I don't think you can do that per the OK Google settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] aarontbrooksjr:
My contacts Icon is Invisible might have to do a factory reset but trying to avoid that .
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
Holding the power button no longer allows you to modify the sound settings eg mute and vibrate... which sucks!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
I got my replacement phone. Running much better then the old one after the update. Both were wiped immediately after lollipop was installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Restola:
That's never been available on a note, kk or lollipop. It's a moto x and nexus 6 feature.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] anastatow:
I did it all the time on my note 4 on kit kat. Not a huge loss though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
Google now voice search was absolutely a feature on kk (screen off and unplugged). It hasn't worked for me on lollipop.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Restola:
Guess you're right. Works on my wife's kk note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
"Google Now Voice Search."

"Screen Off and Unplugged."

Shouldn't that drain an enormous amount of battery? You have to keep the microphone on ALL OF THE TIME + plus you have to recognize the voice pattern for "Ok, Google" every time.

How does Moto X do it without draining an enormous amount of battery (if it does?) And how would a Galaxy Note phone do it?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
Because of the dedicated low power core specifically designed for it. Qualcomm supposedly provides that type of feature in their soc's since the snapdragon 800 I believe? Or was it with the 801?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
I've never heard of anyone referring to this "dedicated low power core specifically designed for it." Do you have any references for this claim?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Restola:
The original moto x had to have a modified processor to add the low power core to handle always on voice. The 2014 moto x uses the 801 which has it built in, no modifications needed by Motorola.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
Edit: it works now. First I had disabled S-Voice to get previously grayed out menu options to work in Google now settings. Then, by enabling S-Voice a new option to use with screen off appeared. I was prompted to download and install a data file from Samsung. Now everything works just like it did with kk.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
I can't seem to replicate that here.

Edit 1:If S voice is disabled, ok google's options are not ghosted.. if its enabled, they are ghosted again.

I can launch ok google from the lock screen, but not if the phone has the screen turned off.

I wonder if there is a way to sideload the s voice update?

Edit 2:

I kept trying to get a combo of svoice and ok google to work, turning one off, and then turning the other back on again. Turning off AND stopping s voice, and then turning it back on and turning on notifications for it seemed to do the trick here.

I never saw a new s voice update, but the next time I turned ok google voice on any screen back on, it was prompted to retrain the voice recognition again, and once that was done, ok google now does activate the phone with the screen off properly now!

I think it was a combo of clearing svoice's cache, and turning it off after disabling it, exiting, and then turning it back on again that cleared up whatever issues it was having.

Very strange!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
Initially, like others I had Google Now voice search options grayed out. When I disabled S-Voice, those grayed out options were restored. However, the option to use with screen off wasn't there either before or after tweaking S-Voice. Today I enabled S-Voice and checked my Google Now settings and for the first time an option to use with screen off or on appeared. Tapping it took took me to the Samsung Store and I was instantly promoted to download an S-Voice file. It then asked me to train Google Now voice settings (this was within the S-Voice app). And that was it.

This should work for you. Keep trying☺
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
I managed to get it working finally (after messing with it on and off since the update) But I never saw a prompt to open the Samsung store..is that Samsung apps? I'm wondering if others look there, that they'll find there's an update. I've noticed the Samsung essentials and app store don't seem to update themselves at all, and you have to manually visit and check for updates there app by app, which is pretty sad.

You'd think they would at least have an option to auto update apps... LOL!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
Yes, it took me to the Samsung store automatically. As far as updating Samsung apps I haven't opened the store at all other than what I described above (the app did it itself). I know you can update S-Health from within the app and I believe it's the same with Scrapbook.

Here is a screenshot of the S-Voice file.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] WPWoodJr:
Were you able to turn S Voice off again after enabling Google Voice?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
The screen off function of Google Now voice search will not work with S-Voice disabled. I recalled this earlier and that's why I went back into my S-Voice settings.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
S voice is also used for the camera voice recognition, and if you turn it off, you'll get error popups when you switch from front to back camera, or visa versa.

I might have also uncovered part of the problem thinking it's not working with the screen off.

If you've used the phone recently, but the screen is off, it works...BUT if you haven't used your phone for a while, I think it goes into a deeper sleep mode, and lights ok google no longer works. Unlock it, and then sleep the phone again, and it'll wake back up again from its "light slumber " mode.

The probably do this to conserve battery, which is fine with me, but I wish they had included that in the explanation of its use.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
Yeah, sure.

https://www.motorola.com/us/X8-Mobile-Computing-System/x8-mobile-computing-system.html

Hope this helps, I didn't realize it actually has 2 dedicated low power cores. Forgot about that. But yeah the snapdragon 801 and up soc's have it built in now so Motorola didn't have to worry about modifying it for the moto x 2014.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Moshpit37:
Anybody else having issues playing music and it pausing randomly? I use PowerAmp music player, mostly over bluetooth (in my car and BT headphones) and ever since updating to Lollipop I've had consistent issues with the music just pausing for no apparent reason. Also poor connections where the music seems to pause and start up again right away, to where it sounds like a CD skipping. I'm tempted to think where it's pausing completely is when it just loses its connection for too long, but I don't know.

HOWEVER, I have noticed that there is a spot on my daily commute where I go through a brief signal dead zone (I get a popup saying "no internet access") and the music almost always pauses (and doesn't start back up) when that happens. And it's not just a notification causing the music to pause, I have the phone in silent mode so there should be no audible notification anyways.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] anastatow:
I swear.. I had enabled/disabled/cleared cache/cleared data on svoice at least one hundred times to no avail. Tried it again after reading your (and a few others) post and it works perfectly. Figures!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
I was having the battery drain issue and I cleared the cashe. It worked much better after an hour or so.

Turn off the Galaxy Note.

Press and hold Volume UP + Home + Power buttons.

When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.

It will act like it is installing an update with and android guy and a gear on the screen

In the recovery menu, navigate to ‘’wipe cache partition’’ with the volume buttons.

Press power button to confirm.

Once this is done, select reboot system now.
