I odined the tar and went back to stock, then I factory reset the phone, then flashed the tar 1 more time. I'm completely stock as if the phone came out the box with OF5. Thanks. :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jivany:
I always reboot to stock recovery after a fresh odin stock tar flash and factory data reset. Data from an old rooted deodexed rom wont place nice on a stock odexed rom. But to each is own..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] PeteSeiler2010:
I flashed this TAR and my phone is very laggy now. I booted into recovery and factory data reset before and after running odin....not sure why my phone is so laggy.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] bonebeatz1234:
It kept all 326 apps i have and didn't delete nothing.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] AKtheAT:
Yeah the same exact thing happened to me. II likethat but idk if that will cause any issues. No problems for me so far so I don't feel like factory resetting.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
What changes were made in of5?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] AKtheAT:
I'm not sure but I found an issue. My stock calculator app won't open. It only force closes. Perhaps I will factory reset afterall.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Thanks for answering a question that was rumbling through my head on whether or not (regardless of a tar being available) to take the full lollipop plunge of no return and take the OF 5 update. I shall stay on NK2 i guess until any report of the fluidity of 5.1.1 is released along with user-feedback on that too.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dteze88:
I haven't experienced any lag at all. I odined back to stock, factory reset, odined again. Running smooth as butter. No issues or lag.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] w7excursion:
Just flashed it. Everything seems fine. Had to leave before I could root. But I'll give it a go here soon.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] AKtheAT:
I did this after encountering the issue with my calculator app... No issues now and is also running smooth as silk. Looks like I got a new phone today ;)

Rooted and TWRP installed

Updated Rooted noterized rom through kies. Lost root. Re-rooted with CF autoroot. Flashed TWRP via Flashify. Good to go.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] poit:
It took several hours for my phone to settle down. Give it some time.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dteze88:
I can also confirm that rooting via chainfire works and flashing twrp through flashify also works. Stock rooted OF5 for now. :) Removing bloatware as we speak, after a stock nandroid fo course.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kennethbb:
I re downloaded cf and tried root again and no luck at this time it goes good till Auth. and fails. Downloaded fresh from cf webpage what am I missing this is not my first time. Maybe I need to do a fresh flash again like most said to. I flashed and wiped everything then went from there, maybe I need to do like other before where saying to flash reset flash. Will get back soon
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] w7excursion:
Flashed, didn't factory reset, rooted with cf, flashed twrp with Odin, made a backup, removed what I didn't want, and now I'm good to go. Hopefully Bluetooth is more stable. :)

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

I figured it out, it is the reactivation lock that the new update comes with. I played with it earlier today and a fresh flash does not turn it off. So if you are having issues with root make sure reactivation lock is not turned on. I guess that is what I get for playing with things. :D
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Glad you figured that out. I was about to ask you about reactivation lock in security and USB debugging in developer mode. Those haven't been mentioned much in recent updates.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kennethbb:
I agree just playing and learning and some thing we dont think about or take for granted anymore.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
How do you turn off reactivation lock?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] AKtheAT:
Go to settings, security, then uncheck reactivation lock. You will then be prompted for your Samsung login to confirm. Done.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] @BB:
So no other significant changes?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] AKtheAT:
I believe they only listed the reactivation lock feature and some bug fixes/performance tweaks that I am aware of. I never got the true OTA that would have mentioned these things so I don't have an exhaustive list. Nothing significant for sure.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] dteze88:
This updated is running pretty smooth on my phone. It's probably Samsung letting us go back to stock and preparing for the 5.1 update. Should be any day now.

Is this tar worth changing from BOB7?..I never took the OE1
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] AKtheAT:
That probably depends on if you are running a custom ROM or a stock rom and if you want the reactivation lock feature or not.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
i know its a lil early.... but so far, how has battery life been for you guys stuck on oe1, just now getting to OF5 ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
I don't expect this to improve. Lollipop project Volta was a failure (due to Google Play services excessive wakes- IMO; workarounds help a little though).

Android M will employ Doze to try to fix this but Samsung is already doing something similar since it came out on Note 4. Maybe with system wide integration/cooperation it works better? We'll see.

It's no secret lollipop brought us worsened battery stats. I don't think it gets better than KitKat until Android M. Hopefully, I'm proven wrong. Just went back to stock kernel with Lollipop V4A fix to allow viper to work in enforcing mode with stock kernel. This is new for Lollipop. IMO, the stock kernel with its defaults are easier on the battery and don't impact performance so that's a win for severity and battery life for Lollipop. Still, I think KitKat was better on battery.

I think your reasons to stay on KitKat still apply unless you like Wi-Fi calling. It was junk on KitKat; much improved as a viable service on Lollipop. With Xposed working on deodexed Lollipop ROMs, they're nearly equal with a caveat or two.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] pbedard:
Of5 kernel coming tonight from me.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] w7excursion:
Battery was fine before and seems no worse now imo. Still had 76% and I just got off work. Mild usage with crappy coverage where I work.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] poit:
So far so good with OF5. I updated from rooted OB7 via Kies. The update took forever, the phone rebooted 4 times, each time running an "optimizing applications" routine.(387 apps to optimize takes a while). It ran real hot through the process, I should have taken it out of it's case during the update. All settings, data and apps were kept intact during the upgrade.

It took a few hours for the phone to settle down after the upgrade but today it looks like OF5 is pretty good. Seems like the bluetooth glitching is gone and the battery life is at least as good, maybe better than OB7. Time will tell on that. The phone seems less buggy than OB7.

I haven't rooted this one; since we are only weeks away from 5.1.1 I'll hold off. (No rdf activity for 17 days now, that usually means they have a winner, keep your eyes out for OG1)
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SupraFast:
So far no issues for me either. I downloaded the OF5 tar and flashed via Odin v3.09. My path: Stock Rooted NK2 Rom->Stock Rooted OB7 Rom->Alliance v3 Custom Rooted Rom OB7->Stock Rooted OE1 ROM->Notarized Stable 2 Rooted OE1 Rom->Stock Rooted OF5 Rom...tadaa!

You mentioned the same dial code earlier, did you update all the touch firmware on that screen?

Odd issue to have. I've seen temporary fixes vary from uninstalling Google Play Services updates, factory reset, removing all Samsung or Google apps and even screen replacement. Or simply rebooting, or pulling battery or using S-Pen to select a shutdown. Or increasing the screen sensitivity.

Being that an update is common to a great many of these issues, I find hardware failure hard to accept. And these temporary fixes seem odd as well.

And yet some of these screen issues seemed to involve those who root and apply mods:

http://www.naldotech.com/fix-galaxy-note-4-touch-screen-not-working-low-sensitivity/

I've seen a couple of users posting success with KIES; no root, straight to dialer type *#2663# and then TSP FW update.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SupraFast:
Check your download against the MD5 hash I posted earlier. You never know!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] catseyenu:
Has this done anything for the locked boot loader issue or is the OE1 line in the dirt still impassible?

Still shaking my head over the audacity...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
It's passable for those stuck on OE1 but the inability to downgrade still exists due to the reactivation lock/increased security. If you're OB7 or lower, something to consider but OF5 custom ROMs come in time.

By the time Android M comes around, I don't think they'll be folks wanting to stay on KitKat or Lollipop. Unless it's to wait on a custom ROM.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] catseyenu:
So anyone who took the OE1 is stuck on IMO an inferior OS, thanks Sprint.

After Lollipop I don't have much confidence in M.

Thrilled to be on Kitkat for now and thoroughly disgusted at Sprint for this shady move.

If they think they can pull this and there not be consequences/customer fall out they are fooling themselves.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] t4d73:
I remember in another post of yours you said it would take until the 24th for of5 to roll out. Stupid sprint. I don't know why they didn't just include their little activation lock in og1.

Not having that problem on my stock OF5 (unrooted for now). Does the problem happen on a clean install before installing any apps? Have you modded the ROM in any way?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] SupraFast:
Yesit does. I just flashed back to OE1, no issues.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] w7excursion:
So I left my phone on without turning airplane mode on to try and save battery. I've played music all day and am at 71% and a little over a hour to go here at work. Seems pretty good.

My phone was fully charged when I went to bed last night, so I left it unplugged to see what the idle drain was like. After 7.5 hours it was at 94%.. That's in an area with 1 bar of service wifi and bluetooth left on. Pretty impressive.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

I flashed from OB7 directly to OF5 using Kies. Kept all my apps, didn't wipe data, just installed over existing data. The phone is running great without the bug you are reporting. I don't think the problem you are having is inherent in the ROM, maybe you have a bad download or it got corrupted during the flash? Maybe there is a setting buried somewhere that is causing this. It's an odd one.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Greek81:
Ive been stuck on rooted OE1 and battery life has been good. Only problem ive been having is my wifi scanning gets stuck. But its a problem ive been having since BOB7. Ive posted something about it before in Q&A but no help. When i go to a different location with remembered wifis it gets stuck randomly. At work I'll notice my wifi isnt connected and in settings it still has my wifi connections listed from home or wherever i was. Turning it on and off temporarily fixes it but its annoying.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
It's a function of Android to show Wi-Fi networks you've connected to before as out of range. It's not connecting to Wi-Fi as you move from place to place. Could be network settings. Do you have Sprint Connections Optimizer enabled? Wi-Fi advanced settings options enabled. I have mine disabled except notification when open Wi-Fi network is available.

I know that the recommended Wi-Fi power saver mode was "off" for Note 3 but mine is "on" with no issue. Dialer code *#0011# plus menu and Wi-Fi then reboot.

You say since OB7 you had this issue. Have you factory reset or wiped internal memory for this issue. I'd recommend wiping thoroughly, system, internal memory and factory reset and power down prior to Odin of OF5 factory tar. Don't use the Connections Optimizer unless you're in an area that requires that frequent acceptance of terms to use it like motel Wi-Fi or events. The Optimizer helps there but otherwise it's going to try to do odd things with your network settings until learned. The same applies to some of those advanced Wi-Fi settings.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] poit:
I found that WiFi switching works better if I turn off "Allways allow Scanning" under advanced wifi settings. I also leave Connections Optimizer turned off.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
I yes, i remember seeing that thread. Thats your best bet. Like samep suggested in another thread, i dont think 5.1.1 is going to make that much of a difference. But it might... with Samsung ..no one knows anymore.

I believe Lollipop was one of Android's biggest flops, on top of OEMs having to skin it with their own bloat and UI and i hope that M will resolve a lot of issues because i plan on keeping this Note4 until another phone, worthy of upgrading, surfaces. Ive been fortunate to keep NK2 on this phone and couldnt be happier with it.

OEMs need to kill the term, 'flagship phone' altogether with them pushing phones out faster and faster. Its starting to, and has, lost its luster on new phones with high-end specs.

Good luck on your trading endeavor and dont give up until you get a properly built unit!! Never Settle!! :P

Hi to everyone.

Last night my smartphone (HTC One m9) fell to the floor, like at 30cm of height. It have plastic cover (official Dot View) and apparently it doesn't have any damage. But today I noticed that auto rotation doesn't work.

I tried to calibrate it, and one of the axis doesn't move. I restored an old backup to view if its a software problem, but it still not working.

Someone have any idea? Because auto rotating is very important for my normal use of the smartphone, and without it...

Thanks for everyone.
