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

im back on stock 4.4.4 and it so much nicer on the Note 4, silky smooth for me, battery looking like its back to being awesome too
 
I just followed word for word and it worked first time.

Though now I have walked in to the issue of android trying to force me to upgrade to lolipop, it's downloaded the 1gb update even though I had turned off update, is there any way around this? A fair bit of googling suggests the only option is to root and even then you run the risk of wakelock problems?
 
I have seen people mention how aggressive that update notification can be, pretty sure there is a solution but as you said I think you may need root.
 
Someone please stop me thinking of going back to ios!! There better be a decent android device before the end of September else I don't think I can hold back!

I followed this :

It is very aggressive. Iirc I disabled or deleted the updater service, rooted of course. I didn't really run into wakelock issues after rooting and have been on KK for a good few months without any issues.
 
I was on the fence about reverting back to KK but I did it and the difference in battery life is staggering!!

The phone has been off charge since 08:00, I've used it for loads of things as usual, internet, youtube videos, games uploading to instagram etc etc etc and it's showing 3:38mins screen on time and I'm still on 38% battery.

Well worth doing, even though I do miss the material look.
 
I don't think so though I haven't looked yet.

I didn't notice improved battery life at the weekend but I was using the GPS/Maps/Edmundo heavily which I don't normally do so hard to compare.

This morning, just under an hour's screen time (mainly watching a show) and on 92% battery :)

I am using Greenify and Package Disabler. As lmfy2k says, I do miss LP style and animations.
 
Zero wake lock for me, stock kk and still not sorted out the LP update. 1 day, 8hours and 40mins with 4hours 20mins screen on, 30% left. Mine is back to flat lining overnight, it's actually going to sleep :p
