Just had mine replaced through VZW. Contacted their tech support via webchat and 2 days later, I had a "new looking" refurb. FWIW, I bought mine from BB as well.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] outcasted2003:
I had tier 3 support, several weeks of problems. They sent us 2 brand new in the box Note 4s. My phone was 45 days old and my wife's was 32 days old. We had so many problems that the tech got us new replacements. I guess it depends on the documented calls and the tech & supervisor when getting a replacement.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mademan420:
I had mine since release day back in Oct so im sure that wasnt an option for me :p:p:p
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] FlattFoxJohnson:
no security on lockscreen, thats probably why

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

Yep, I'm having issues...nothing major though. Just little stuff that irritates me sometimes...I haven't really looked into my battery life yet. I'm near my fast charger most days and it gives me a 30 or 40 % boost pretty quickly.

Once I have the time, I'll do the factory reset. Fingers crossed for root soon so I can just go that route. I had no idea the internet had gotten so ad-errific until I got rid of my rooted S3 for the Note 4. Sheesh.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
I have to say after using lollipop for a couple weeks on my replacement phone it is just terrible. I am going to have to do another factory reset soon. I get many force closes. The main problem is the phone just locks up. I can't unlock it by swipping the unlock screen. Other times the keyboard just locks up and I can't type.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fluidj:
My picture quality has degraded significantly. There's a lot of noise in the photos and they just aren't as crisp. Also the camera is much much much more sluggish. I guess I should just say it's sluggish now, because it was not sluggish at all before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Hobox10:
I don't know if this has been posted but has anyone realized that turning off auto brightness makes it so the next time you unlock the phone, it is at full brightness? Really painful in the morning/night...

Also this is a serious bug I've encountered twice. Like, incredibly serious and insecure and I don't know how Samsung could let this slide...

Twice now, I go to unlock my device. I'll list out each step. (I use fingerprint unlock)

Hit power button to turn on screen

Accidentally hit the power button again with my other hand while switch which hand my phone is it

Hit home button to turn the screen back on

It goes straight to my homescreen, can open apps, menus, and use the phone like normal, but the screen is super dim, like lower than the lowest brightness setting.

This doesn't happen for me. It starts up at whatever I leave it at.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bobloblaw1:
Same. When I go from super darkness to outdoors, I wish it would! It can be difficult to see the screen at sub zero brightness in this scenario.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fozzir:
I had to revert back to Kit Kat as Lollipop drained the battery, made the phone freeze in some apps and when coming out of sleep mode. Yes, I did a factory reset. I'm staying on Kit Kat until M comes out or root on my Note 4. Kit Kat runs fine. No reason to upgrade.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
I have now had a problem with people not hearing me on phone calls. Verizon is sending a replacement phone.

I had horrendous battery life. Think HTC Thunderbolt. Hard reset fixed that. But the phone was hard reset in April. Worried I will have to hard reset the phone once a month.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
It still happens on my replacement phone. I am about to take the latest OTA and see if it fixes it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Dwillian:
Don't take the OTA if you think you may want to ever root your phone (assuming root ever becomes a real option). [MENTION=5868929]hsbadr[/MENTION] has a method for upgrading to latest firmware without losing the option to root in the future. Here is the link in case anyone is interested: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2942937
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mr. Toad:
Thanks. I might look into it. I probably will never end up rooting this phone. Probably the first phone I never rooted. I will probably be getting the Note 5 next month if it actually come out. As long as foxfi works I can get by without root.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Delakit:
Phone lagging like no other. Even after clearing cache. Even after a factory reset.

Applications freezing and closing (especially Facebook).

Camera getting stuck trying to focus, making my haptik feedback go nuts.

... never should've taken a single update. Each update released made my phone that much worse. How pathetic.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] khanhhp:
My Note 4 Verizon do not dim when I turn down and turn up % brightness. I use Android 5.0.1
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] supertoast92:
Does anyone use the Yahoo Live Wallpaper option for their lockscreen, and upgraded to the OF1 build? I'm wondering if the update triggered an issue I'm having with the lockscreen not updating when it normally would - by the hour whenever the widget refreshed. Now I have to go into settings to get it to change the wallpaper at all.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cas239:
Did a quick search of the thread and didn't notice anyone mention this issue, but when 5.0.1. dropped I noticed that when I go into my recent apps and select close all it would cause my home screen to sort of glitch out when I would return to the home screen (Running Nova Launcher Pro). Now after the latest Stagefright hot fix release, when I select the close all in recent apps, the bottom most widget on my home screen, in my case a Google Quick Search Widget, disappears. Any one else experiencing this? I mentioned this in the Nova thread but no one else in that mega thread was experiencing the issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fluidj:
Hard reset/factory reset. That brought it up for me.

I can't install Google Fit anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
My lock screen does show pedometer with fingerprint security.

Also, did you enable advanced lte calling? Maybe that's what's using the lte connection when the radio checks for incoming calls?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Jweimn:
I'm gonna assume you may be being sarcastic. But if not it isn't a bug its a easter egg that google hides in all of their android builds. You never can beat it, just continue to play
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tu3218:
Google fit is incompatible with 5.0.1??? Someone please explain this one.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mjailme:
Disable S Voice and reboot. All google voice settings appear and work like a charm
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Delakit:
Performance has dropped. Text in games is now blurred. Delays in animation. Gets extremely hot. Otherwise it's great...

No LTE calling. And you have weatherbug or similar app that displays current temperature in the notification bar?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Delakit:
Do. Not. Update.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] emarietta:
Everything seems to be fine here. Many improvements
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
I can confirm this does work to a certain extent. Launching locked with the screen off still seems iffy, but launching when other apps now open does work with this fix.

Thanks for that tip!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fluidj:
I found the APK and was able to sideload it. Seems to be working fine so far. No clue why the Play Store thinks it's incompatible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gio2005:
I've noticed something new and it is driving me crazy. My wife pointer out to me that I had a red light in my pocket. I looked and there was a red light intermittently flashing from the back by the camera flash. Anyone seen this before and how do I disable it?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nabbed:
I use the standard Samsung Weather widget - it shows temperature and location in the lock screen. Lock screen notifications also work, just checked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] fluidj:
Great....now it's going to drive ME crazy! Hadn't noticed it until now....it's some sort of sensor of course....I can make it happen by dragging my finger over it... strange indeed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Mobalized:
That would be why yours is working, if you use another weather app that displays temperature in the notification bar that notification makes it so pedometer doesn't show.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
It's your heart monitor on the back. AT&T have that issue, apparently it's a problem with Google Fit. I haven't had it happen. Supposedly removing Google Fit fixes it.

Can you post the file please.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
Remove Google for and a reboot worked for me. Battery life has been great since I did that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] gio2005:
Thanks, removing Google Fit and rebooting resolved the issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
I had this exact issue. I found that disabling S-Voice and rebooting the phone allows the Google voice on any screen and locked to work again and not be greyed out. Hope this helps!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] husker97:
I just updated and one thing i am noticing right off the bat is battery drain. With my phone connected to my computer and charging, i am actually losing 1% battery about every 5 minutes, just from idle! I am losing more battery than i am charging? It has been on 5.0 for about 30 mins but i have already lost 5% battery while charging. this just doesnt make sense to me. i will let it charge overnight on the factory quick charger, and hope it will settle and actually take a charge.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
I've been wondering this too! Can't find Samsung Galaxy apps store on the Samsung site anymore. I wanted to re-download it because a few of the options in the menu keep disappearing on me every so often. "purchased" goes away and I can't see the apps I have installed and which ones are available for updating. All I have is my ID name showing and home and payment methods, nothing else. Anyone found the official apk the newest version?

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Are there any apps that need updating? You have the latest Google Play Services installed? Try clearing the cache partition and rebooting the phone a few times then let it charge fully and see what happens. Anything unusual in the battery stats using your battery?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] husker97:
All of my apps are updated. I will clear the cache and reboot and let it charge overnight. Also, my phone had been running really hot since I updated. I know this is from the battery drain. Hopefully a cache clear can fix it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
Yeah my Note 4 and my wife's got pretty hot after both updates. I just pulled the batteries for about 15 minutes, they haven't run hot since.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] husker97:
Thanks for the suggestion. If it's still warm tomorrow, I'll pull the battery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Justinphxaz:
I've gotten a score of 5 being my highest lol. When you're super close to the pipes you have to really tap the screen super quickly but with less pressure so you don't bounce as high but you have to tap more frequently going through the gap (feathering it sorta).

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

No problem, hope it helps. Both mine and my wife's Note 4's run great on Lollipop. The only bug I've noticed is about 4 times now since I've had Lollipop I've had to press the home button twice (first try nothing happens) to get back to my home screen exiting an app or in a settings menu. At first I thought maybe I didn't hit the home button hard enough or something but it has happened now 3 other times since then. Not too big of a deal but hopefully it gets fixed sometime soon.

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

I activated mine through the settings and in the advanced calling section. Did you reboot your phone after 5 minutes of activating it?

Anyone having issues with Google+ lagging after a few swipes? I took the update, factory reset phone/ cleared cache, then re-loaded all apps. All apps work fine except for Google+, seems to be a visual lag after swiping a few posts, if theres an image, it swipes OK, but if its text, I get lag. If I clear the cache on Google+, lag goes away but comes back after a few minutes.d

Any ideas?

Global mode

Anyone getting a prompt to switch to global mode? Seems LTE/CDMA drops more than it did on 4.4.4 so I'm prompted to switch.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
Amazon force closes immediately. It works for other people tho. I've cleared cache, data, rebooted, etc. Nothing works.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] thegipper:
So far I haven't had any issues with Lollipop but the battery does seem to drain faster. It is not terrible but it is noticeable for sure, not to happy about that.

Not sure if the radio was updated or not but it seems like my signal strength is a lot better so that is a plus.

Anyone else experiencing the worse battery life? Anything to fix it?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Gareee:
When I spoke to Samsung repair services, they said the phones should default to global, not lte/cdma. The phone is "smart" and will use your carriers lte if available. He suggested using the global setting, not the lte, and once I switched, I noticed I was getting better signal. You can check the signal strength in the network settings now.

As far as battery drain, I went out jogging today using the same apps I always used in kitkat...rocket player, s health tracking, and my tracks...I saw pretty much exactly the same battery left when I was done as I usually do.

It usually takes a few reboots and charge /drain cycles for a new rom to settle in.

If you are seeing battery drain, try using something like du battery or the built in battery reports to see what is causing the drain...it could be an app you are using that isn't optimized for lollipop yet.

Btw, under security, is everyone else seeing smartlock ghosted?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] RJV3:
Uninstall updated and reinstall the app. You may have to add the galaxy app or galaxy gift widget on your home screen to get to the samsung app store. Give it a shot.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] mademan420:
Its like that until you set some type of lock screen security(PIN, password, fingerprint, etc) then it will light up and allow you to select it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] vmod32:
I had the same problem with the Amazon App force closing. When I looked under setting->apps->turned off the Amazon App Store was turned off. Not sure how that happened as I was using it before the update. But when I turned it back on all was good.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jiwengang:
Anyone experiencing the dropped call issue when someone calls you? It only happens when I received some call and it would drop after a few minutes. But if I call them back then we can talk for hours without dropping. Weird.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
Isn't it still version 1.0? I'm not sure the pre-installed Amazon shopping app is supported anymore as it was pulled from the app store. I may be wrong.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] vmod32:
It was on version 1.0 when it was crashing for me. After I got it to run again it updated itself to 5.4.0.2.00.

Double check the Amazon App Store is not disabled. I still have Amazon Kindle, Amazon Music disabled with no problems, but the Amazon App Store needed to be enabled for the main Amazon App to work.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
OK. Thanks.

Mine still crashes. I'll install the one from the Play store.

When I fully charge my phone, the "fully charged, please unplug your device" notification pops up. But its over everything else, regardless of the app Im in.

My biggest problem is battery life. It came off charger at 100% at noon and at 11:30 now, I am down to 17%. I usually never drop below 50% on 4.4.4 by this same time. My seem my culprits are android system and OS. Here a the screen shots of my battery stats.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] xxVAGRANTxx:
same here, I've never seen cell standby on battery stats before either. I do have HD calling enabled. when I shut off mobile data battery didn't drain like it does with it on and WiFi at same time. Weird I checked my son's S5 with 5.0 and wow his android system is gobbling 50%+ battery life, he needs to do factory reset as will I soon.

No, but I highly recommend a factory reset. It's really the common solution to a lot of these issues coming up.

Battery life is the only one still a mystery...but I must say it's gotten better over the past 3 days for me. Hoping it evens out by Friday.

This is not really a bug, but more of an inconvenience. I charge my phone at night and it vibrates letting me know it is fully charged, which wakes me up. And so far I haven't found a way to change that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] marthinollys:
You can eliminate that. Try going into settings to Sounds and Notifications. I'm not positive what exactly you need to silence but have a look around. Mine doesn't vibrate. Maybe uncheck haptic feedback.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] blindmanpb:
I've noticed on some S5s and Note 4s that Google Play Services can have issues updating post-Lollipop if Android Device Manager is set to be a device administrator.

Settings => Security => Phone Administrators, uncheck Android Device Manager.

I can't remember, but I might have had to clear data/cache for Google Play Services, too.

Might not be the issue in your case, but I've seen that before.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] testarea1:
Worked fine before the L update with the same version on KK, but I did come to find out that the screen has to be off in order to skip via bluetooth controls. If the screen is on with Pandora up it won't control, but power off the screen and controls come back. No idea what that is about.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] stueycaster:
It's messed up on KK too for me. I got version 5.3 and it works good. I googled it and a lot of people have trouble with the latest version.

You don't want to. It causes the HR sensor to be active all the time and burns CPU. Fit was fine with KitKat.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

If you have Google Fit installed on Lollipop it will activate the HR sensor when something gets near it. Uninstall Fit to improve battery life and get rid of the red light.

If Google Fit is installed it will run up the CPU time in the System process.

Factory Reset

I got the update 3 days ago and kept trying to make it work but the lag and battery consumption was killing me. Did a cache wipe first and no luck finally gave up and proceeded with a Factory reset. Lag its gone everything else is working good and battery its not as good as 4.4 but its not as bad as before. IMHO factory reset after this update its a must.
