I downgrade from 5.0.1 to 4.4.4 but it update itself and i cannot stop it.

After i flash the firmware, without internet i go to > About phone and untick update firmware ...but still, it's updating ... how to "fix" it ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy88:
I downgraded from lollipop after an accidental upgrade.

I then rooted mine, and with titanium backup you can 'freeze' processes. I've frozen the system update processes, and haven't had a single request to update in 4 days now. I don't know a huge amount about titanium etc, but followed a process linked from another site and all seems good.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MDaveUK:
Sounds like you flashed the wrong firmware containing an incompatible baseband.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayesh:
Nope. Fully stock and nothing was changed. It disabled being able to choose the LTE setting, restricting it.

It's a well documented issue for the Indian version. Dr Ketan has a fix for Kitkat that requires root. However i choose to just come back to Lollipop.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jygar:
Caved.

Downgraded after trying to put up with Lollipop and its bugs, RAM usage was much heavier on Lollipop and I couldn't deal with it, I am tempted to sell the Note and move on.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George.B:
I've done exactly that. Sold the Note and I've bought an S6. I hope I don't upset someone but S6 it's the best Samsung phone from all models I've had. I am very happy with the choice I've made.

What I did: Remove SIM card. Flash original KK with Odin. Do not turn on wifi etc. Go to Manage Apps - all. There are 2 services for updates. One cannot be disabled (160KB), but the other can (12 KB) . Disable it.

It worked for me. Happy now with KK.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jygar:
Exactly what I did, cannot believe how much fast KK is compared to LP, after reviewing current phones I think I am sticking with the Note 4 on KK, camera and performance is awesome compared to others.

I'd consider a Nexus 6 but the camera is so poor on it, truly tempted to go CM12.1

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] George.B:
My S6 comes with 200GB for two year on One Drive, I already have 50GB on Dropbox and 50GB on Mega, so I don't need much space on my phone. If I need something I will download from my cloud space. About the battery I don't feel the need for an extra battery or in time to replace the actual battery. I keep one phone maybe 1 year, maximum 2,and the battery it is still in good condition in this period. My S6 has the same battery life as my Note, from what I've seen, and the fast charge it's very good.

What kitkat rom is recommended for the n910?

i was using wanam roms but i got some bugs.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judhin:
Made a downgrade today from L to stock KK and as a result stock google apps.

L was ok I guess untill it started to drain battery like 50% over 12 H while screen off! And there were no usefull information about which app does that under battery settings. It is just happened. Maybe factory reset would fix that, but with factory reset I also decided to downgrade for the followig reason..

Which is pain in my fingers the material apps. Especially gmail app. I physically can't press "New mail" button at the bottom of the huge note's screen. Stock gmail app shipped with KK firmware is more usable cause all the controls are on top.

So that's my IMHO for downgrading.

My LP was horrible when updating OTA. Downgraded to KK, awesome! Now I'm back in LP again, but this time I downloaded the fw from sammobile and flashed in Odin. After flash a factory reset, now my N910f runs smooth like butter.

Antutu 51000, with KK 49000.

Maybe skip the OTA and flash with Odin will help you guys who are in trouble with LP.

I am not ready to downgrade yet. Preferably waiting for Samsung to pick up its mess and quickly update it to 5.1 soon!! They said end of July 2015? Let's see!

In the meantime, what should I do to fix the constant lags, frame drops, random bugs and freezes, battery life that doesn't go 15,14,13,12-->0% but instead just shuts off immediately and get itself stuck in a bootloop??? Using stock 5.0.1 on N910G. It's super annoying!! Anyone tried and had okay improvements to performance? For me ~3h SOT, 9h standby is quite fine. Not too concerned about battery life though.

---------- Post added at 04:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

Is there one good one for the N910G? What's your average SOT and standby time?

Which fw you used at Sammobile? Must be flashed from Odin? I am stock don't want to trip up Knox for warranty.

I downgraded. Lollipop had bad battery life, huge lags in recent apps... KK is better with both, but camera lag for reviewing images is much longer (sometimes 10-12 seconds til it loads the image :@).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kernel ranger:
I just downgraded, too many app compatibility issues with Lollipop and quite disappointed how I had to keep resolving issues with a reboot all the time
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barkleyfan:
I have lp a month, then rolled back to kk. Far better experience all around with kk.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kernel ranger:
Camera is the same, so said another review comparing the difference between KK and LP. It was mostly aesthetic looks and some fancy features like predicting battery life, lock screen notifications accessibility, adding trusted devices, reboot and find recently opened apps still showing, entre guest mode, chrome cast more quickly, save the battery feature that cuts some syncing and vibration. No major changes worthwhile changes.

My wife and I just picked up the Note 4 the other day and upgraded right to 5.0.1. I ended up downgrading mine to 4.4.4 because it was way to laggy in some games. Waiting patiently for 5.1.1 at the end of July
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kernel ranger:
Just fully installed all my apps on Kitkat and everything is working awesomely! No more control and permission errors. I just don't see the need for Lollipop at this time

Oh! RAM management is far better (40% more available RAM)

You can use no root firewall as well and even block other apps that you don't want to update or download precious data from your phone since I removed market from my phone and I can source better apps myself.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batas:
All I did to prevent the L update was to disable the software update service before inserting SIM card and configure wirelss. Already posted some posts back un this thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slit:
But for this you need to access the app drawer while in startup manager, and power down phone to insert the SIM! How?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batas:
Maybe I wasn't clear:

Remove SIM card;

Install KitKat;

Turn on phone;

Avoid the wireless configuration for now;

Go to Settings, Apps, All apps;

Select both software update services and try do disable them. Only one can be disabled. That worked.

Now you can insert your SIM card and configure everything. That worked for me.

Got it now, thanks!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SquirtingCherry:
Yep i had to downgrade too. Bought a Gear VR and lollipop has faulty graphics drivers so downgrade is a must. Also for normal games the framerates are higher on kitkat. Hopefully drivers get fixed on the next update.

im about to do it, its pretty embarrassing now that my android wear lg urbane lasts longer than my phone just listening to audible books. Im getting around 9 hours MAX (usually less) with about 2 hrs sot max before it dies. my urbane lasts all day...... from a phone that originally lasted up to 3days samsung / google really screwed this one up.

When i first got it i ran it for days solid watching movies and never saw low battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nahoku:
I did!

Lollipoop lasted just a few days on my N4 before I went back to KK. I started listing reasons below, but found I had just too many dislikes. I'm so glad I'm back on KK.

Perhaps if Samsung/VZW in my case, learns some things from all the negative press they'll make some changes (hopefully revert the crud stuff) and I'll give LP a chance again.

Praying for root in the meanwhile!

Guys, after reading this thread i feel like downgrading to kitkat. Im on official stock lollipop N910g.

If i flash the appropriate kitkat rom from sammobile, will my warranty get affected ?

Or will samsung service centers do it safely ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellsbell:
No if you reverse back to kitkat via odin, knox should remain inchanged. So it shouldn't affect your warranty.

I dowgraded to kitkat just to test autonomy and my knox remained inchanged.

However i went back to lollilop, because i found it better than kitkat on all aspects. (factory reset before update, than factory reset after update, plus wipe cache, and used smartwitch for update).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
Given my Note 4 real good wipe alround & gonna give Lollipoop another shot.

See how it goes.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmobile:
Better on all aspects? If the apps you need do actually work and are up to date, then maybe. If not, it's still a downgrade and an totally unsatisfying experience.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellsbell:
smoother, better autonomy, i like the slight aesthetic changes, slightly less heating. Nothing spectacular, maybe the autonomy is the most noticeable improvement.

so i stick with the 5.0.1 version (BOE1) (exynos) for now
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muamers:
can someone tell me whats the difference in battery life between kk and ll? in screen on time?

I didnt had the luck to try kk on my note 4. I remember that i had 6-7h SOT in 48h on my note 3. Here it looks so much worse that i miss my note 3.

I can get on the note 4 about 5h SOT, but no way it can stay alive more then 24h. The deep sleep just sucks.

I want to downgrade. I'm on Sprint, using BOF5. I read a post somewhere on XDA saying that you can't downgrade BOF5 to KK. Is that true?

My first thought was to just grab the TAR for one of the earlier versions (OB7 i think), then go to KK from there. But I'm afraid there might be more to it than that and I don't want to brick my phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barkleyfan:
Not sure. I rolled back from ob7.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
You cant unfortuntely. Once you took that OE1 update and that bootloader hit your phone, thats the furthest back you can go.

NIE,NK2(KK) and OB7(LP) are not a viable option anymore.

Luckilly you wont brick your phone trying because Odin gives an auth error preventing you from going below OE1 but its pointless in trying, just to save you the trouble from trying to flash OB7 if that itch gets stronger to go back.

OE1 and up is all you can flash now.

Lollipop on Note 4 frustrated me. On my G2 is wonderful. Here, first off, is UGLY! Then problems with battery. Worse - unforgivable " was RAM management reboot five or six times a day, taking all my work with it.

Last straw was counting the number of times, mid-work, when, pooof! Phone stalls, waits a while, redraws the home screen and closes all my background apps.

Impossible. Back to KitKat- didn't even root it this time, and very happy. Turned auto-update off, not going to bother until 5.1

Thats my take on it. I might just skip Lolliflop all together and wait for M. Ive been on 4.4.4 stock after being on Lolliflop for a month, that was a few months back, and have not regretted it.

Stock 4.4.4 on the 4 is a beast minus the ugly Touchwiz and the battery life is back to normal and a welcomed positive.
