Why? What do you have now?

I still have the Note4, feel kinda stuck with it.

The battery life is terrible. It lags more than is acceptable. It crashes a lot.

Sorry to hear that.

Which version do you have. I have the F & just got the C & installed the 5.1.1 & boy the Note 4 is like different beast. No lag or stuttering.

Maybe the 5.1.1 update will help the F but if you can hold of the C (exynos) version grab it with both hands. It a cracker.

You were right about S-Note (although the pen worked, it just wouldn't open)

Thanks for the link.

I'll be giving the battery a good test over the next 24 hours.

lag from camera to gallery is still there for me. otherwise it looks very good, recent apps lag is gone.

when you flash this, the CSC gets blanked which kills the S-Pen features

you need to reflash the CSC files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62575684&postcount=42

using ODIN, select AP etc, takes 30 secs.

When you say kills the s-pen features..what do you mean exactly as mine is working fine...

nothing works from the air command menu

Matson · 30 Aug 2015 at 12:37

Eveything worked from the air command menu for me apart from Action Memo.
Just flashed that Tar file from the link given on the last page and Action Memo still doesn't open for me...

My Phone was BTU....but I was using the German version of Lolliop and now I'm on the Italy version of 5.1.1 so which CSC am I supposed to flash?

I have the F and I am running 5.0.1

I also won't be buying another Samsung phone in the future with KNOX.

BTU, the one lmfy2k linked to. dont know why its still not working :confused:

Matson · 30 Aug 2015 at 13:04

Yeah I flashed that in Odin using the AP button. I still don't have a CSC number come up on my phone its still blank....

Your action memo worked straight after flashing the Italian 5.1.1? Mine didn't.

Yup. Strange.

I am however going to go back to either Kitkat or 5.0.1. My lockscreen/waking the phone up is quite buggy on 5.1.1. Sometimes doesn't work or takes ages. Appears to be related to the fingerprint reader.

Will wait for the official release to reach my phone. Battery life seems better however, hardly any loss when the screen is off compared to before.

Is that the F model? Strange, mine is great. Definitely better on Kitkat than Lollipop at the moment however. Initial impressions are that 5.1.1 fixes a lot of the problems with 5.0.1.

Go back KK till 5.1.1 is out. Note 4 was way better on KK than 5.0.1. That was a shambles.

MichaelAwkward · 30 Aug 2015 at 14:54

EDIT: Nevermind, sorted now. Back on Kitkat.

Cosimo · 30 Aug 2015 at 16:08

For those that have flashed 5.1.1 which CSC do you have now?

Matson · 30 Aug 2015 at 16:17

Never mind I just flashed another 5.1.1 rom and my CSC has shown up now and everything works as normal.

MichaelAwkward · 30 Aug 2015 at 16:31

Hmm, seems in the process of going back to KK I've managed to trip KNOX... :mad:

I've only ever had stock on my Note 4 so I'm not sure how.

Does this really affect warranty claims? I mean Samsung surely can't deny hardware repairs based on software alterations.

That was just flashing the Italian 5.1.1 over 5.0.1 BTU?

lmfy2k · 30 Aug 2015 at 17:47

Italian 5.1.1 over 5.0.1 btu will give you a blank csc.

You need to flash any region csc on top to get the Csc showing
