Anyone on Bell just get an update?
[Galaxy Note5 General] weimin108:
Thanks for your help Idan73. I managed to get the phone back on to the stock (puertorican firmware), re-rooted with custom kernel, and reinstalled latest TWRP, and finally CSC flash in twrp. Now the phone is stuck in H+ mode for internet. Meaning just as slow as before. I checked the APN settings.

The Tmobile rom that I used was running great for a couple days. Then out of nowhere, with no software changes. Data connection slowed down immensely. It still showed 4G or 4Glte, but the data rates from Speedtest were horrid (2-3mbps).

To make things more strange, I would go out with the phone still and where I see good reception I will run speedtest again to see an average of 45mbps which is great. So I don't know what has happened. Perhaps the custom roms are still too new.

Any advice would be appreciated. thanks.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Just got the ota notification for update from Fido, so in a few days we'll have stock firmware for Odin.

That should help some.

Still 23 lte bands available after update. The only difference from screenshot I uploaded last week is word preferred on latest firmware in auto settings. Take that iPhone advertising 23 lte bands, but launching with 19 for att and 18 for everyone else cept China (even less).

Edit: downloading full Canadian Odin firmware. Will upload soon to my google drive.

[Galaxy Note5 General] layhee:
So i Odin flashed that rom then tried to root with Nobel Kernel and the reboot during calls continues. So i reflashed the rom and just like that calls are no longer rebooting. But now I dont have root. sigh....
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
If you read just a few pages from noble kernel thread you would know that it always had and has issues with rebooting during calls. The only one that does not have that issue is arter97 kernel, although that one has issues lagging from sleep depending on number of apps in multitasking screen, requiring frequent clearing.

Unfortunately those are the choices right now, which is why I'm still unrooted, waiting for either stable kernel, or my preference, root while keeping stock kernel. Sammy made it difficult this time since this summer and s6 5.1.1 and [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] is missing for a while now.

You could try after rooting, flashing stock kernel and stock recovery from this Canadian firmware with FlashFire. Or even after initial root, reflash whole Canadian firmware with FlashFire, with everroot option. Just ideas, haven't tested yet. Sick as a dog. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow night when family is sleeping.

[Galaxy Note5 General] weimin108:
Would also like to confirm that the Rom flash works (used Odin in download mode).

**unfortunately just like the Puertorican Rom, my phone is stuck on H+. Internet is very slow, and phone calls lead to rebooting. =(

Thanks for uploading even when you are sick. Hope someone else has had my issues.

Always Wipe it all in recovery, shut off phone completely, then boot into download mode.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
So you're not on noble kernel? You're on stock, right?

At this point I really think you should start from beginning. Odin flash Canadian rom, not sure what's your provider but you could also do csc changer *#272*imei#, that will fully reset your phone. If you are on correct csc already, you might just want firmware reset. I'm talking about stock recovery and not custom one. If you're still stuck on h+ you might have faulty device.

SM-N920?
[Galaxy Note5 General] weimin108:
Thanks again Idan for replying.

Before I saw this message, I did a factory reset that has pretty much cleaned out all my personal data. The "4G" has come back but speeds are still ridiculously slow. (2-3mbps in speedtest).

As for how I reset the device. I first went into TWRP, did all the proper wipes, shut off phone, rebooted into download mode and flashed original Bell rom through Odin. Then let all usual setups run inside of OS, then went to do factory reset. This is what brought the "4G" back.

For this *#272*imei# --- the imei is replaced with the long imei number I can find in settings?

Thanks,

Wei Min

I did your CSC Changer code to reset and I got this message after it tried:

"Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Maybe I typed the code wrong, google it please, or maybe samsung restricted it's use further. Maybe you're in bad coverage area? Maybe bell is doing some work on towers at this time. I've known Rogers tower outage in my area that sometimes lasted few days at a time.

From what I've seen in Canadian csc this time, is that fronted csc should dynamically change depending on which Canadian sim card is inserted. I don't know how this figures with Canadian provider locks in place.

Also seems with this firmware fido/Rogers are still the only ones with VoLTE settings for voice and video call inside csc. There's even mention of wifi calling in customer xml but so far no aditional settings show in order to configure or enable it.

Edit: nope the code is right still. You should be seeing this.

Wifi calling on the Rogers , don't think it's in the Telus one. Plus, over a month extra of testing, so might be a couple of stability improvements?

[Galaxy Note5 General] mixxy:
just picked up a note 5 two days ago. Realized it was rooted before me and knox was triggered. Im getting terrible battery life at the moment - android os is staying awake beyond normal times (90-96% of the time).

Any suggestions for custom roms that are bug-free with strong battery life? Ive also briefly read about the knox "deep-sleep bug", but can anyone offer a bit more insight or an explanation as to whats happening here when knox is triggered?

Thanks in advance peeps :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Battlehero:
Read this post for the technical explanation:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60326332&postcount=39

In basic terms if you have tripped knox the stock kernel will not go into deep sleep because of a java error which will keep occurring due to the device having tripped the knox counter.

Only way to fix it is to install SuperSU (2.68 or above is advised) or flash a custom kernel.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mixxy:
Thanks. Thats helpful. Im trying to solve the issue. I still have my Note 4 and only reason I bought the 5 was because of the terrible battery life I was getting. However, now it seems as if the issue might have been related to deep sleep problems instead.

Second question for ya, fixed have been outlined throughout xda. Some day the new supersu has the fix built in, some say it can only be fixed by a custom kernel.... Any thoughts on this? Anyone who has been messing around with a few diff roms, can they advise about their experience with deep sleep?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Battlehero:
SuperSU does have the fix built in hence i recommend SuperSU 2.68 or above. But if for some reason you don't want to root your phone you can install a custom kernel.

As far as I'm aware this bug only affects exynos devices.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mixxy:
Even more useful info. Thanks. I guess since the Note4 is using a SD805, it must not affect it then. Now I dont feel bad for buying the Note 5. Cheers.

I Pm'd turilo for some recommendations, but since its good for the community, I thought "why not ask here?" :) Do you have any recommended custom roms that you use or have used in the past?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Battlehero:
You will need a Marshmallow bootloader and modem.
[Galaxy Note5 General] phil.W:
we seem to be getting the short end of the stick. skyhigh gone, tek gone. What's going down with our developers for the TMO varieties?

Do you know offhand how we go about getting the international versions and which if any play nice with our device?
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Twisted moved all his kernels elsewhere, can't post a link I don't think...

We can run any of the Intl tons but you need to flash some fixes and a kernel first.

Drop me a PM, I'll help you out
[Galaxy Note5 General] Idan73:
Just a general info related to this deep sleep issue.

The new generation of samsung phones (s7 and edge variant tested) do not have this issue once the Knox has been tripped, so no need to be forever rooted if someone choose not to. That is good new for us all, looking forward.

Bad news is that samsung seems disinterested about doing anything related to s6, s6 edge, note5 and edge plus, generation, to fix their God damned kernel with update so that it does not cause the bug in the first place.

[Galaxy Note5 General] jon3sh:
Yup works fine n our device. There is alaso an option to change CSC to match your carrier.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MooseMan01:
Just decided to root and flash this guy after about six months after it took a fall and Samsung being unhelpful regarding the S Pen (treat it well and don't use the clicker much I guess.).

Indeed Darth Stalker works quite well, I've only a few minor quibbles with it like the TMobile tethering app and visual voicemail in the dialer (unusable), but it's quite good and boosted me from 4.5hr to 6.5hr SOT websurfing and downloading themes and apps and a few short YouTube videos give or take. Not done customizing and such and haven't yet done anything to modify network etc for power savings though so I expect that to improve, plus I'll be replacing the battery soon as I suspect it's substandard based on my testing and others results and benchmarks.

Check out the thread for some minor mods for the ROM as well, like black round notifications which are quite nice, though Ive just installed XPOSED to do some further tweaking for myself :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] BrockFerens:
Hello,

I just ordered a Note5, and 6P. Should receive them in a day or 2.

Wondering what people recommend with the Note5? Preferred Kernel & Rom for the Rogers Variant. If I have read correctly the Canadian version is N920W8? Stay away from US variant roms & kernels. Any guidance or help will be greatly appreciated thanks :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] MooseMan01:
Hey BrockFerens, the past page or so was a discussion and recommendation of Darth Stalker V8 rom, it's a T mobile based US rom (n920T) but our variants are pretty much the same, and can use the same kernel, his ROM supports Canadian CSCs out of the box so it's the absolute easiest place to start with. Apparently it's possible to run 920C based ROMS with a comparability patch floating around here, but I've personally not felt the need to, seeing as the real meat and potatoes is with the ROM and there seemingly being less room to play and optimize kernel side.

There are some other Roms on the TMOBILE note 5 board people are running as well, like River Rom. Best/only kernel really is Jovy's stock modified kernel, there were some other options but it seems egos and code use across projects drove many devs away from the 920T. If you really feel the need you could hunt down or use some other kernels, but honestly just use the stock modified, it serves its purpose and does a few tweaks without sacrificing stability or usability. Beyond that, with XPOSED you can pretty much fully customize any rom to your liking, including a simple stock debloated and deodexed ROM. pretty sure there's one of those floating on the TMOBILE board as well (Canadian Base)

Keep in mind, if you root and trip Knox on the 5 there is no way back, and Samsung has a "bug" in their kernels which means you can never return to a fully stock config in the future without crippled doze/deep sleep.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BrockFerens:
Knox? Is that from flashing to many times? I recall Sammy has a flash counter or is that a thing of the past?

I will probably just stick to your recommendations, as the GF is going to get 1 phone, and i will get the other. She loves her Snapchat, and you can't use snapchat and Xposed together. So there wont be any xposed on her phone ( Most likely be the 5 for a bit, and than switch when i get bored of the 6P )

I appreciate telling me its a Tmobile version, cause i was looking all over the forum but couldn't seem to find it here. lol :P
[Galaxy Note5 General] MooseMan01:
XPOSED is a flash able framework that can modify rom/system settings with XPOSED "packages/apps". Like enabling background YouTube playback or changing system UI elements. It wouldn't interfere with snapchat I'm sure, but i doubt the girlfriend cares enough to want custom software anyways. Edit ; yeah there's even Xposed modules for enhancing/modifying snapchat.

Knox is the Samsung warranty counter, separate from the flash counter IIRC. When anything not factory or root is detected the phone burns out an E-fuse which is not resettable or by passable. Once Knox is tripped your warranty is void - personally I'd say use the phone for a while stock just to make sure there's no factory defects if your set on rooting/romming. There's a lot you can do to individualize it without root, personally I was alright with just using Package Disabler, Tasker, and Nova Launcher Prime and the stock OS, but I cracked my screen and factory repairs are ridiculous so away I go with Roms and DIY repairs.

Tips for ownership ; be nice to your S Pen. The clicker is far from bulletproof, the connection between the two halves equally so, and Samsung does not warranty "accessories". They are 50 to 60 for an original replacement, if you can even source one (I haven't been able to, outside of some iffy YouTube sellers. Best I could find was a cheap copy thats unreliable and inaccurate.). And get a case!!! Back is GLASS and therefore fragile, front glass is raised and tough but fragile. Don't deep discharge the battery if you can avoid it either. Battery is small enough without wearing it down.

You probably are getting the "updated" version that fixes this issue, but DONT PUT YIUR PEN IN BACKWARDS. if you do and it is hard to pull out don't force it! Look up guides on how to remove it without damaging it. If you do the sensor is broken and you'll have permanent issues with the sensors all being on for the pen all the time and missing interaction with the pen (air menu)
[Galaxy Note5 General] biomech91:
Is there a fix for the deep sleep bug when rooted? Probably the only thing keeping me from rooting down the road. I haven't kept up with the deep sleep issue fixes.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MooseMan01:
Any nonstick kernel has the fix (ts a kernel bug related to Java IIRC)
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
If you use super su i think 2.68 or newer it fixes the issue.

Flashed the PE3 fido romantic today just cuz I needed to recover from an oopsie with my Darth stalker install. Haven't spent much time in it but it sure feels snappy!

Just did a quick test, no for sure result as I'm not in the same spot I was last time I was looking at signal strength, but it seems to be an improvement in that regard. Eyeing up what I'm going to flash next, probably nexify though I need to see what he left intact as I still want SNOTE but that seems to be the only app worth keeping, even the modded messengers pop-up chat is substandard and annoying more than anything.... Google Apps FTW.

I find myself eyeing up that oneplusthree, or hoping a nice glass nexus device exists next year, after 6 Samsung phones I think TouchWiz and samsungs support/update speeds have finally worn me down.
