[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] ToeJullar:
I just upgraded to a LG G5 with BestBuy since it was 1/2 off. This phone isn't bad by any means but I do have 14 days of time to swap the phone out for something else. I want to know what your guys experiences have been like since the phone has been out for a good month now.

Things I really look for in a phone are Battery and Camera.

What's your average battery life? Does the phone get really warm when QI charging? Autofocus and Camera quality? And just any other general things you think are important.

I've had phones from both LG and Samsung (Galaxy S5 and Nexus 5), but this time upgrading I found it a close tie between phones.

Thanks for any info. I appreciate it. Just don't want to get stuck with a phone I dislike for 2 years.

EDIT:

Welp, just noticed that there is an entire forum dedicated to reviews of the phone's features.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] T3chMan1:
LG is a downgrade to a Samsung phone or tablet, camera is great, battery is one day with the right battery saving apps will run all day, get about 3 hours screen time, doesn't get hot on normal use or charge with Qi.

Do we have to install sdfix to have full access to the sd card? Or marshmallow doesn't require that?

Did your problem get resolved or did it come back. I'm having a number of problems on t-mobile since upgradingj to mhc19q
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samlingx:
So far so good, the issue hasn't returned, although I'm really not liking the latest update. I'm considering rolling back (is that something I can do? I don't see why I couldn't) to January or so.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acathrow:
I'm still in limbo. T-mobile have been helpful but it's in Google Nexus support's hands and they have been less than responsive to say the least.

Next step is likely replacement device but in the mean time I just finished flashing 19i and will see if that has the same issues, then I'll try the previous build.

I'm kicking myself that I didn't check the version numbers I was on before applying April update. Ah well, lesson learned,
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samlingx:
Out of curiosity are you doing a full wipe before flashing different builds? I noticed in my case the issue didn't go away until I did a factory reset, which I think suggests something was corrupt or otherwise affected in the system partition. Since doing a factory reset (and now after doing a couple more) the issue seems to have gone away and I'm no longer having wifi/LTE issues - well, except for not getting LTE at all on the January update, so now I'm back on MHC19i.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acathrow:
Current status: My issue appears to be with t-mobile band 12, the new band that t-mobile is rolling out now.

It appears that the phone "prefers" band 12 to the older bands (like 4).

Rolling back to an image before band 12 was added (eg MDB08K from October) gives me back reliable LTE on band 4.

Sent logs to t-mobile and Google and waiting.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] spotopolis:
The other day I got the MM update and decided to force install the VR software to see if I could without the VR. It worked and i could browse the store, so it piqued my intreset.

Today I grabbed a spare Gear VR from a family member and took it home tonstart messing with it. I already knew a non Inovator Edition would not work with my GN4, but I wanted to see for myself why.

After looking at it and seeing how close it is to fitting, and confirming that the usb connector fits in and triggers the VR system to work, I started to look over the system closer to see how I could make it work and try to keep it as clean as possible without using my Dremmel.

Turns out its really easy to make it fit-ish (but enough).

Flip up the usb tab and there are 2x phillips screws. Remove them to pull the plate holding the usb connector in the clip. Slide off the plastic cover and youll see the usb has a thin ribbon attached that is long enough to pull out of the clip completely while still staying attached.

Now all you need is to take a flathead and on the bottom side of the clip, pry it out of the VR headset. Its held in with pegs on each end. The top peg is longer and connected to a spring, so you want to pull the bottom peg out first. Once the bottom one is out, you will need to pull with a little force to separate the top peg from the spring. Make sure to not damage the usb ribbon.

Now the same on the other side, but pry the top peg out first. Once the 2 pegs are out, youll have a long spring attached to the botttom of the clip that can be release by 2 more small phillips screws.

Now your done! Plug in the usb to your GN4 and place the smoaked plastic cover over your phone to hold it in place. I was able to watch the GoT intro VR video and browse the VR web before my batty died.

Obviously this will void any warranty and you risk damage to your VR.

Have fun!

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freeza:
I know some of you may be confused as to where to go to get these, but here you are.

I know some of you have come to the conclusion on your own that using Marshmallow firmware (bootloader) PB5/PC1 on a Lollipop based ROM, or even AOSP results in WiFi and camera issues. Here are Odin flashable firmwares for you to easily flash between versions.

NOTE: Basebands have no effect on WiFi or camera on Lollipop or AOSP ROMs.

NOTE2: Baseband PE1 and later require Odin 3.11.1.

Lollipop firmware/basebands are everything before PXX:

N910P firmware/basebands

NOTE: PE2 baseband wouldn't flash with Odin 3.11.1. I had to use Odin 3.10.7.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] cushgrunt:
I have a question. When flashing the bootloader in odin do i select AP like flashing a stock tar or do i select BL.

Sent from my SM-N910P using JellyBombed Tapatalk 2
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] tx_dbs_tx:
Use AP. If the tar contains a .pit file then that will take care of the partitions and flash everything the way it needs to be. If it doesn't containa .pit file like in this case, the first way to try is AP. 9 times out of ten that is the mode you want to use.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] BigMosley:
Sorry for my ignorance, but what's the difference between the PD1 firmware and PD1 baseband? If I am on a PC1 ROM can I flash both via Odin? Thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] sav2880:
So just to be sure, is all I have to do is flash one of these bootloaders with Odin for it to be unlocked, or are there steps I need to do first? Running the OTA Marshmallow on Sprint now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
The bootloader you have isn't locked to root. There are terms you may be referring to: reactivation lock, factory reset protection, carrier unlock or root?

These are stock bootloaders; shared/posted to flash in Odin to go back and forth between lollipop and marshmallow with ease. They're ideal for those that have TWRP backups for lollipop and marshmallow; saves redundant steps. Baseband may also be necessary for those going to CM at least for now.

What are you trying to do?

Edit: OK1 bootloader is now linked in OP. Removed redundant link.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freeza:
added PE1 baseband/firmware
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] long_tall_texan:
I get this confused too. What is the difference between Baseband, and Firmware?

My assumption is that firmware includes both Bootloader and the baseband.

Baseband just updates your modem and leaves your custom recovery intact?

Is this correct?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Right. These don't replace the recovery.

The ones labeled firmware are bootloader only.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] long_tall_texan:
Are updating the firmware / bootloader / recovery the same?

I guess my question is more what is the difference between bootloader and recovery? I thought they were basically the same.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Bootloader is responsible for booting the various modes like system, recovery and download mode. It changes with each update and also impacts certain features so compatibility must be maintained. The bootloader can also block unofficial flashes and mounting partitions, if locked to those. Since our bootloader isn't locked, we can flash custom recovery, root, mount partitions to modify and even flash a custom ROM.

As you know, recovery has a purpose for flashing updates and wiping cache partitions or factory reset. Custom recovery gives you more freedom to flash custom flashes to customize your device. By definition, it allows for recovering your device if you soft brick it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] long_tall_texan:
Thanks. I appreciate the dumbed-down explanation. I know enough to be dangerous, but like to understand the details, even though I've been flashing since I bought my first Android phone - Evo 4G :D

Will you be adding PE2 baseband/firmware?

Sent from my SM-N910P using Xparent Purple Tapatalk 2
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
Make a TWRP backup first. You can come back to it easily. When PE2 tar is available, freeza will most likely make bootloader and baseband available here.

But yes, the stock tar for OK1 or the OK1 bootloader and baseband would be enough to try the Ketan ROM. There's a thread for getting on that on your Sprint Note 4 (you most likely saw that). Follow that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] freeza:

So I extacted the modem.bin and NOLOS.bin from the Stock Samsung PG1 Tar files and put them into a separate Tar File and tried to flash via Odin to update my radio to PG1 but the flash just hangs up, it starts but never completes. I did check the md5 on the stock Tar file before extracting the two modem files. I am currenly running Galaxy Note 4our 3.0BETA3 which is based on PE2 and I have the PD1 baseband running because I get better signal with it vice the PE2 baseband but I wanted to try the PG1 baseband now. Do I need the PG1 bootloader, curently I have the PE2 bootloader and would rather not switch to the PG1 bootloader at this time. Any suggestions. Thanks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] jhill110:
If you can't find a pg1 baseband, Make a backup. Flash the PG1 stock tar from [MENTION=1725911]LMMT[/MENTION] 's stock tar thread in the general section. Odin TWRP. Odin the pe2 firmware tar. in twrp, full wipe then Restore backup.

Hey Underdog,

How'd this work out for you? And why didn't you want the PG1 baseband and bootloader? I've finally gotten around to upgrading to Marshmallow and have been catching up on the variations..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] underdog2025:
I didn't want to go to the PG1 Bootloader because heard you can't downgrade the boot loader once you updated to PG1 Bootloader. But I want to try the PG1 Baseband see if got any better singal quality and radio performance with it vice the PD1 Baseband I am using now. I know the PE2 Baseband did not perform as well as the PD1 Baseband I am using now.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] SaintZ93:
You can downgrade back to kitkat if you wanted to. Your not stuck with PG1 bootloader.

Hum.. Flashed the PE2 firmware and somehow ended up with a PB5 bootloader and COK1 baseband.. On CM13.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] styles420:
How long have you had your N4?

My battery is about two years old, so it's prone to dying at 20%+ and losing its charge faster across the board - and that's with good charging habits. It's normal, because every time you charge your battery, you reduce its remaining lifespan just a little
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] WeMakePies:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] AndyB588:
I downloaded that the other day, but haven't messed with it yet. I've been trying to run stripped down stock and some Xposed, but they are a hit on performance. If I could just get the best of stock and CM13.. :) Thanks!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] mr.lumbergh:
I've had it for a little over a year. I did buy used from swappa though. I usually swap out my battery 3x a day since i have 2 extra spares and the external changer. My internal quick charging stopped.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] styles420:
Wow, three times a day is a lot - even with my battery lasting half as long as when I got the phone, I would only need to swap twice (and the second battery would have plenty of juice left at the end of the day). Maybe they're a bit worn out after all...

I turned quick charging off almost as soon as I got the phone - in past experience, battery life seems to decay faster with higher amperage charging (fast charging uses 2 amps, while a standard usb port supplies half an amp). It *seems* like the slow charge from a usb port on my computer lasts longer than a fast charge - this translates into less frequent charging, which means less frequent decay of the battery's lifespan. I can't rule out the possibility of pure coincidence, but it has worked for me (it only just started shutting off prematurely in the past month or so, after 28 months of use, whereas my first smart phone's battery barely lasted a year)

Sending PM. Be careful with Odin if your bootloader is greater than OB7.

Run Phone Info for Samsung or Galaxy Tools if you're not sure because it's important to know before proceeding. And proceed with caution, considering at your own risk. Or play it safe and consider another compatible ROM Android 5.1 or higher.

There's a reason the OP didn't include the bootloader you're looking for.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dustwun77:
Anybody still here?

Hello, I haven't been around for a long time and have forgotten everything I used to know so I am even worse than a noob. I want to experiment but don't want to brick my Note 4.

I have been on Tx's Moar v2.1 since forever and I would like to get back into the swing of flashing roms.

The terminology and the process has escaped me and I need to figure out where to look for a refresher. I would like to be able to flash between the versions of baseband, or whatever and try different roms. I have forgotten how to use Odin, don't know which version of it and/or TWRP I need to do what... I'm a mess. :P

Could/would any of you kind folk be so kind as to either put together a guide or point me to where it is in the forum? I'd like to be aware of the things I should absolutely NOT do, as well, any combinations or backtracking I shouldn't do, for example.

I know it is a lot to ask but I have never ceased to be amazed at how folk come through in here.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] dustwun77:
The Note 4 is my backup phone, only one I have rooted now. The Bluetooth on this rom just doesn't work, known problem, I guess. I'd just like to upgrade to one where it does work and, I have to admit, I miss flashing ...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] samep:
IIRC, Bluetooth, WiFi and general connection issues may be caused by modem, kernel and bootloader mismatch.

Search each thread of interest for known issues like that along with solutions. The solution may be as simple as deleting a file after each reboot or following a suggested fix (I believe Xposed was causing that little inconvenience). But backing up and starting clean with wipes and flashing stock tar and verifying everything works, installing TWRP and backing up would be a good start. Then flash your custom ROM and kernel (if needed to match your bootloader) should keep things like Bluetooth and wifi working.

Remember the warning about full stock tar flashing should not use the older bootloader and best to remove security features like screen unlock, fingerprint, and encryption and overwrite protection (in advanced security, I think). I can't recall, but there may have been a reason that I recommended removing account too; I think that's for user transfer to another owner or handing down a device to another user. The tar you flash would need to match your current bootloader. Upgrading the bootloader is possible, if coarse, but downgrade isn't supposed to work for security reasons and may semi brick the phone or even break it.

The Note 7 marshmallow ROM by tx is known to be fully functional for features including Xposed. But it's also install dependant to OP instructions. Shortcuts may hinder performance.

Rooted stock may be simpler but lack many developer tweaks. Depends on what you want. Maybe the ROM you have just needs the right kernel flashed in TWRP to get it back? If you've updated and thought about returning to an older ROM with older bootloader, that would be a reason to flash a kernel known to work with that ROM and your bootloader version.
