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

[doodah]

Good to hear. Did you come from 5.0.1? Let us know how the battery is when it has settled.

Sounds like root is a go for 5.1.1

 

[lmfy2k]

Just flashed 5.1.1 and its pretty good. No more recent apps lag anymore and it feels overall smoother to me.

Upgrade or factory reset ? You flash the Italy 5.1.1?

 

[Matson]

Yeah I was on 5.0.1 and didn't want to wait for the update anymore so just flashed it myself from the XDA forums. Also its not using as much ram as it was before which is good and we get the Smart Manager app that I believe is on the S6?

Just straight upgrade. No need to do a factory reset from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 and yeah its the Italy one.

I Just downloaded this... Flashed it on the computer with Odin and was good to do. Pretty simple.

Cheers for the link.

Working fine on my Note 4. Seems a lot smoother. Shall see how battery life is.

Can you upgrade from 5.0.1 btu to this Italian 5.1.1 with Odin no problem?

Yup.

Gona try it. Nice one mate

Edit. Flashed it. Will report back on battery

 

[Participant]

Is this phone still competitive for someone that values a large clear screen for browsing and movies above most other things?

Looks the same to me mate, although I'm a Auto mode kinda guy anyway but all options look same

 

[lmfy2k]

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.

Could you please do me a favour and download/run this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test

then post the result.

It will tell what features of Android Lollipop Camera2 API are supported.

My S-pen features work fine after flashing that file. Didn't need to reflash any CSC files.

 

[Muska]

Me neither.

This is the phone I have been least satisfied with in recent memory. I wouldn't buy one.

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