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

Great isn't it? A bad day for me is 4-5 hours SOT but it still lasts till the end of the day

 

[Muska]

I ran it to absolute empty tonight, nearly 17 hours since it came off charge and 6 hours 48mins screen on time.

 

[Cosimo]

Downloading the 5.1 update now.

Are you on O2 or 3?

Are you on O2 or 3?

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?

1 day 12 hours now since last charge & 45% still left......I'm liking 5.1.1

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.

Heavy usage? I have Google Music playing for a good 8 hours daily.

Nothing heavy, the usual stuff, texts, calls, WhatsApp, email. Browsing the net etc. About 45 mins if sky go last night as well.
No random wake locks though is the main plus point for me atm.

Did you do a factory reset after installation?

Also hurry up BTU!

 

[pumaz]

Anyone know when we can expect 5.1.1 on EE?

 

[Spacedeck]

I just searched for latest updates and it found 5.1.1. Im on 3, so anyone else on 3, might be worth checking.

 

[Cosimo]

Also hurry up BTU!

trying to update mine via kies, phone goes to download mode then kies does not see it, going to download the firmware and try via odin, any ideas on the kies issue?

Kies sometimes has a mind of its own. A reboot usually solves it. It must be on OTA by now.

Same here, now Kies is asking if I want to emergency recover the failed firmware

No not yet Cosimo.

 

[Plunk13]

Can I update my rooted phone with Kies to 5.1.1? Or do I have to faff about going back to stock/remove root before updating?
I know I can't do an OTA with root.

 

[chief barker]

I tried updating from Kies again and it worked this time, now on 5.1.1.

Funny how the last incarnation of a OS is always the best one. Lollipop has been utter garbage since it came out but 5.1.1 is a pretty good OS.

Shame on Google for such utter pap. Hope mankmellow is a better OS, although it'll be 2017 before the Note 4 sees it.
