The battery life talk is so played. You don't use your phone you'll have great life. It's user dependent, formeriphoney says he gets 6 1/2 hrs screen time, who cares?!?! The phone charges 50% in a half hour! What a waste of effort, use your phone, charge it, simple
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
I have to agree (in general) except for users who get extreme drain issues and need to solve a problem as their life is *way* below average and they can't even make it to supper time on a full charge.. Then it makes sense..

But otherwise ur right.. I typically post mine to help others and report if wanted

By George, I got it!!

It's XPrivacy!

Not sure who confirmed it as good but want to know who and how..

It was one of the last few I activated on first soft brick the other day.. And just an hour ago when activating it... Brick.. Nandroid recovery.. Disabled ALL mods, rebooted and then did it it strictly by itself with no other mods enabled.. And brick!

I'm currently in process of testing it on my other note.. And doing a complete wipe, fresh Odin.. Pr v4 and then install ONLY Xposed and downloading ONLY XPrivacy and activating and rebooting.. Will report back after that..

Anyone here currently have it on and running??

Does anybody know of an exposed mod besides wanam that will let me get rid of the nfc icon in the status bar? I've tried x blast and gravity boxbut didn't see an option for it.

Lockscreen Clock Mods appears to not be working.. Installs fine and reboots.. Can do settings and see updated previews but after reboot (to put changes into effect).. There is no change to clock, date, owner info, etc on lockscreen.. I'll play around with it more to see if I'm doing something or conflicting somewhere but appears to not work.. Too bad, I would like the change, although I'm sure there is plenty others to do same thing

If anyone is missing CRT-OFF effect, I can confirm that the xposed module "ScreenOffAnimations" works for me PopRocks v4 Canadian. Installed it, activated it, rebooted, configured the app settings and rebooted again. You can actually pick from several screen-on and screen-off effects, including a setting that controls the duration of the chosen effect. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
If storage is causing this, it's gotta be external because I already wiped internally fully when I clean-reinstalled V4. I already synced all of my photos and videos from my camera to Google Photos (thanks Google!), so I guess I'll have to go through and wipe my external SD card if it turns out to be the problem.

Sucks because I have a ton of non-camera pictures, and videos and music. Oh well. At this point I'll do anything to solve the issue. I just wish there was a file scanner of some sort to find corrupt images/music/videos. This seems like a common issue. I've definitely experienced it years ago.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Looks like things are settling in pretty nicely on your setup dude

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Man I'm starting to lean to something in your setup or a combination of effects because that's unusual to run so warm on a clean setup for sure....I doubt it's your sd card tbh I've seen around 1000 fail over the years and always it'd the same effects ime...You can test this by either swapping sd or simply removing it and running the build for a while...bar a internal fw or hw fault in the note itself which doesn't seenm probably...so thats why I'm leaning toward something in your setup being the culprit

Lol no that's my note 3...just to make the example that we can already use a storage case via usb to mount 2 cards...

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
What effort exactly. I don't spend 1 second of my day working on extending battery life. My setup is exactly how mega recommend and I go from there on my regular day. I usually watch 2-3 hours of YouTube, Pandora or Google music for 1-2 hours at the gym, xda, navigation to and from work every day, instagram, twitter and a few phone calls.

Sometimes the phone just dials in and kills.

Other days I just get 4.5 SOT on a days usage. Depends on how my signal is.

Luckily I live in NYC where it's perfect 100% of the time

Im on v3 can i factory reset and install v4 or do i have to odin the stock base then install v4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] RaymondPJR:
I agree with all that! I'm saying this is what I'd do if the Note 5 has no extSDcard slot and I'd like to see it incorporated into a case to look more elegant than having it hanging from the usb port. I can't have a phone without a case! Butter fingers you know, this thing would already have been ruined for resale just a month after I bought it, lol!

Fellas I gotta give a heads up of something I've noticed...my note is running slightly warmer since installing adaway 3 apk...it's running fine and working as usual but I've def noticed my note warming up much quicker doing things otherwise it'd have been ice cold 2 days ago...just a heads up

I'm testing uninstalling the apk to get some data for the heat variance on my setup from adaway

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
I'm not happy that you're experiencing issues, but I'm happy that the heat is a known issue now (since common issues tend to get fixed quicker). It happened before I installed Adaway, but maybe it has something to do with it. In any case, ad blocking doesn't need Adaway. You just have to run it once and then you can uninstall it.

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea thanks man I know what you're saying once you push install the framework...I just wanted to test and see if it's the mod itself...the apk etc...but I Def wanted everyone to be aware of the heat...my setup is extremely controlled so a jump of 5 or 6 degrees on reboot is huge...like dirty flashing vs clean...uninstalling the mods and apk solved it...dropped temp back on boot...but I'm gonna test leaving the mod then ripping the apk to see cuz not having adaway sucks lol...then I'll prolly update the op2 with any data just in case

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Wait, so you're saying to undo AdAway's host blocking and then uninstall it? I want to do exactly whatever you did to see if it helps me.

By the way guys, if you're using exFAT as your MicroSD card file system, apparently it's more susceptible to corruption when you reboot the phone/pull the battery unexpectedly:

"- FAT32 will not allow storage locations larger than 32GB and file sizes larger than 4GB

-exFAT is more susceptible to corruption if randomly disconnected or removed from the device."

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00011004/218211/

My card is 64GB, but it's still possible to reformat it as FAT32. I may just do that because, as modders, we all know sometimes phones hard-freeze and require a battery pull. I did a chkdsk scan on my card in Windows and it came up with no errors, but still.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Exactly uninstall the hosts framework and uninstall the apk...immediately on reboot I noticed a decrease in temp...cleared cache in twrp and it went back to running cold...but no ad blocking

What I could easily see happening is it may not just be adaway...think if you have 2 or 3 apps or mods that cause a little extra heat...that combined effect would be significant vs baseline

I always format my sd cards in an android device before use

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
My CPU temp, pretty much idle is anywhere from 42 - 47C. Not sure if that's normal or not. This is with no case on and just sitting on the charger at 99%.

I noticed the CPU frequency jumps between 300 MHz to like 2.649 GHz just sitting there, even though it's just for a second at a time. This is doing nothing, fresh reboot. Just sitting in the app.

Edit: Sitting 30 minutes, screen off, plugged in at 100%
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Why sitting on charger?

That will always increase heat (and damage/degrade battery)

Bad test....

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Here we are with 5 minutes of usage. All I did was scroll through a few posts on Sync For Reddit. No charger this time. The CPU spikes are a little worrying to me. It's not crazy warm right now but a tiny bit warm under the camera.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Tbh I never really follow the cpu temp...the fluctuations are too drastic because the variance between 300 mhz and 2.7 ghz instantly spikes 10 points on touch...I typically track the battery temp as I know if the soc itself is running so hot the it causes the battery temp to reach xyz temp I know i have an issuem...as that'd when you can actually feel it when the battery is spikes as alot of times the cpu temp may vary wildly and you don't even see the screen dim...just an easier way I use to track my setup

What is the normal temps you guys are seeing when surfing or just XDA. I'm trying to figure out what is normal. I had another day of bad battery. I'm wondering if I am having the SD card heat issues or something else. May flash firekat and see if the battery life is better.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Gjohnson7771:
As I'm posting right now my temps are bouncing between 47-52 degrees.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
What is this "SD card heat issue" some think they may have? Lol! SD cards don't create heat.. There is no such thing.. If u think there is heat in that general area or from accessing it, then it's something else related but not the sd
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Yea I totally agree...I mean here's a few basic facts...lp stock runs hot...far hotter than kk ever did even with problems or dirty flashing...stock lp is less efficient than stock KK but slightly quicker......PR already runs far cooler than stock LP so even with a mediocre setup the heat is nothing like it was ime on stock...is it possible that several people are experience some extremely rare phenomenon where somehow an sd card is causing heat issues if not formatted properly?? It's possible....but imo it's far more likely you have bad mods and a bad setup on your note causing the issues otherwise it would be across the board...yet my pr setup runs ice cold and the battery life is a near constant it's so consistent...so imo it's far more likely your setup is the problem...I would clean flash and add mods 1 by 1 because otherwise your just chasing your tail and we keep repeating the same things....there is no trick it's controlling your setup

People tend to jump to far more technical leaps than I tend to...99% of problems are what you choose to install and how you go about doing it...also people keep saying I'm using the identical setup as fk...yea but this is lp...not kk...so there's no point in using that fall back but for downgrading back otherwise you must adjust your setup likewise

Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
Fellas just a general heads up....if your setup is hot...draining the battery...stuttery or buggy ect...anything unusual from what everyone's common experience...did you follow the op and op2? Clean flashed and properly setup the build? Are you using root apps? Supersu on grant? Supersu beta? Are you using xposed? A kernel?...anything you add will change the baseline of the rom +/-....if you have problems odin flash clean and start fresh....then only add in things you KNOW are functional on lp...add mods or whatever little by little as you go...I don't reco a kernel unless you have vr and have no other choice...

for context i added a single apk...adaway an had noticeable heat increase in run time temps...if your going mental on your setup and don't have it nailed down before hand you're gonna end up just chasing your tail... so until you know what mods or apps even are properly functional and more importantly stable...and what few apps or mods in your setup are causing issues then you can proceed from there as usual...

Remember bar a hw or fw issue with your device...we're flashing standardized software on standard hw so of you have a wildly different outcome it's your setup and we should be able to trace the problem in your setup...hopefully this helps the couple guys out there trying to sort thru their new lp setups

Will the mixer.xml loud audio mod in op2 work on any lp rom?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] electech13:
Wow.. Tbh I'm so glad you said this and I hope others can try to adopt this philosophy. I've typically gone solely by this in the past.. And partly because many phones (especially from before) never had cpu thermostats only battery temp monitors..

Somewhere over time I lost this a bit and was foolishly putting more weight on cpu temps but it's silly.. Especially on newer higher end phones.. When they crank up in frequency they will always jump in heat (temporarily) and have big swings... And this Note is notorious for that too.. I didn't even really notice until I saw monitor stats... And then it just clouds things up..

*Bottom line* you should ultimately go by battery temps and the general "feel" of the phone.. If battery temps jump a lot (when not on charger) this is an issue and if cpu runs high a long time thus making phone hot to the touch for more then a minute then yes that is an issue.

So folks don't put much creedence on cpu temps.. Use battery temps and phone touch temps..

Great post and philosophy Mega
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
Well sh*t guys. Listen to this.

I think my MicroSD card just died. I put it in my computer with a reader (reputable brand; iOGear reader, A-Data 64GB Class 10 card) and after copying everything off in order to reformat it, the computer started telling me it was "write protected". That makes no sense considering there's no write-protect switch on this reader. So I try HP USB Format tool (which btw is an awesome little tool for formatting things). Same error.

Now when I try to go into the card through My Computer, it says card unreadable/corrupt and it shows up as 31.9GB. Yay me.

Oh well, at least 64GB cards are only about $20 now. Hell, even 128GB cards are like $80, but I don't need 128GB.

Anyways, I'm thinking of grabbing a 64GB Samsung card. Any opinions? This is the first time I've ever had a card die on me. I'm hoping, praying that this is what was causing issues with my phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] force70:
Yep once you get that write protected message she's done...been there a few times lol.

I'd go with a lexar 633x card, very fast read and write speeds...I have a 128gb one myself:D

current devices: Nexus 6, Note 4, 3, 2, S3, OneX+
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] ar2o:
I know mega recommends Samsung 32gb class 6 since they have the lowest failure rate. I use a Class 10 SanDisk 64gb but i got it for free so I can't complain :p

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] Product F(RED):
I think I might go with the Samsung 64GB Pro (not the EVO) card for $50. It's double the price, but it's rated for 90 Mb/s and uses MLC memory instead of TLC memory (it degrades much slower and reads/writes faster since there's a lower error rate). Either that or the Lexar 633x mentioned above, which is the same price.

$80 for 128GB isn't bad, but the speeds are lower and I don't really need that much space. I'm so happy I was able to download everything off my dead card before it died. And I even backed up all my camera photos and videos to Google Photos (thank you unlimited storage!).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] megalomanic14:
That's def a bummer to hear dude...those pms and posts have always been the worst part of dev for me over the past few years....Cuz your losing memories... photos videos ect it sucks to have happen...sorry to hear but hopefully this was your issue or a large part I'd it...

But yea I just can't in good conscious reco a class 10 having heard of well over 1000 cards failed...one dude was his wedding photos...another close friend was his sons first steps and first year + of life and you can always say man backup xyz but hindsight is always 20/20....i know everyone has they're method or favorite bits setup accessories ect totally cool....but I always am up front with you guys and give as much full context or info so you know I put my money where my mouth is...

I'm not a fan of pictures like this like look at my gear lol its duchy but I wanted to show I have about 14 or 15 class 6 32 and 16 gb cards...you're limited in capacity vs a class 10 but the offset is im still using the first sd i ever purchased in my note 1 after probably 700 flashes...I've heard of 6 or 7 maybe class 6 cards failing in context to the literal 1000+ class 10
