**** The Official Note 4 thread ****

After 4 hours I've finally managed to get a stock 5.1.1 rom installed.

First flash with Odin failed due to some ext4 partitioning problem, I tried 3 different PIT files and 3 more flashes and it eventually completed with no errors but hung at the Samsung logo.

After a couple more hours of trawling through XDA somebody mentioned some stock recovery that would help, flashed that and it booted up to a screen telling me my data partition was corrupted and I should do a factory reset, unfortunately I couldn't get in to recovery as it kept going to download mode.

Flashed CWM over the top and did a factory reset and it still said the data partition was corrupted, went back in to recovery and formatted /data and finally it's working again.

That's the last time I update this thing!
 
I'm really quite impressed with the Note 4 after the 5.1.1 update - with the usual usage, I was at 51% battery life at 11pm last night (taken off charge at approx 8.30am), whereas on older versions I'd normally average around 15-20%.

That includes Whatsapp web being open from 9am to 6pm, a few calls, and maybe an hour or two SOT.

Lovely. My only gripe at the moment is that when the phone is rebooted, the Multi-Window nonsense turns itself on which can be annoying.
 
Last 3 days now I have had very nearly 5 hours screen on time with about 20-25% battery left. The best thing to happen to my note 4 was 5.1.1
 
I ran it to absolute empty tonight, nearly 17 hours since it came off charge and 6 hours 48mins screen on time.

I'm on 3.

Havent noticed much difference in general, but battery life certainly seems to have improved.
Been off charge for 14 hours now, & still 80% left.
Admitted I've only made a few calls, texts, WhatsApp etc, & about 45 mins of Web browser but still pleased that the random wake locks seem to have gone.

Will see how it performs over the next few days.
 
So Android M? I see HTC have said by the end of the year for their most recent flagships. I just saw a post stating Sony are saying 8 weeks (presumably also for their most recent flagships)......what do we think for Samsung and more importantly the forgotten step child that is the Note 4?

Three are saying their new VoLTE service will roll out to the Note 4 at the start of December so hopefully they'll have it baked into an Android M upgrade.
