What the title says. Write your findings and differences.
OP will be updated thanks to your contributions and suggestions. Special thanks to all contributors.
This will help in an easy way to locate what has changed for our beloved Note's.
1)-I find fingerprint sensor much more accurate.
2)-I personally find that phone gets a little warm while charging (N910C)
3)-Phone app seems faster but had 2 hangs to closing the line. Red button was not responding.
I had a clean install.
4)-You can now change colours in folders in the app drawer and homescreen.
5)-Now third party apps optimized for LP can write to ExtSDcard.
6)-a. Settings-security-trusted agents : enable smart lock
b. Smart lock now appears under settings-security.
7)-MISSING: RAW implementation is NON existent in N4. Samsung dropped the ball. Oops.
8*)-"Recent" apps remain after a reboot.
9-) Added battery drain. Internet hogging apps keep continually connecting.

Could you, if you have time, regularly update the OP so that new readers can quickly get an overview? It's a bit cumbersome to read through every post because there's always a lot of unrelated discussion.

Just about to flash this now. Tried CM12 but generally stuck with TW.
I haven't had any issues at all with the battery life, gaming is a lot better and I was gaming for 2 hours straight and my note 4 (910f) wasn't even warm I love this new lollipop update! Everything has improved in every way possible for me and the spen even works on games that it didn't work on before :laugh:
the fingerprint scanner is slightly better , but i found the battery drains so fast , some stutter while playing subway surfers , some apps crashed yesterday like 9GAG , i think samsung needs more time to tweak things together
Anyone having issues with device not going into Deep Sleep?
EDIT Several reboots appears to have fixed it..

You can now change colours in folders in the app drawer and homescreen, which is not a life-changing feature but nice nonetheless.
Is it me or there is no Smooth recording option anymore? I can't seem to find it.

For those who are using this app how was your experience?
Considering you are using internet yes it consumes more battery, about RAM well yes IMO. I suggest using Fast Facebook. So lightweight and data loads fast.
I use Facebook app with my background data off.
I experience little battery drain.
It is much more better than the previous versions for sure.
cause i have seen on running process that there is "Facebook" or "upload manager" and eats up around 30mb from ram even though Im not online and I exitted it. So is that process or service really drains battery and ram?
Its both. Try my suggested app. If your into simpler UI with fast loading performance with same FB app feature then FF must try

How much does this affect the battery?
I have been looking for something like this, but I am scared of purchasing a good app, just to have it kill my battery because the camera is always on.
Thanks
I'm curious as well.

Ya, it seems like it would do a number on a battery to keep the camera open, but also keep the CPU high doing processing.
Anyone using this program that could do like a couple 15 minute tests with the screen off and this program either running or not?

I've been using the old "smart stay" app for a handful of days, and I've seen no change in battery life.
From what I understand the App only uses the camera to snap a quick picture for face recognition half way through the screen time out time; if it sees one it restart s there timer. it also has a root option to only activate when the touch screen hasn't been used, which further reduced the frequency of camera use.
Downloading now
heh funny thing but doesn't work for me maybe because i'm ugly
Works well on Galaxy S II, but kill music player when lock. could you please fix it?
Very creative app!
Received today my unit.
First impression is great, phone is really fast, no lag at the moment.
I have compared the screen with Note 3 and white looks whiter than on Note 3. On Note 3 has yellow pigment.
S Pen got some new functions and it is really precise.
At the moment I am discovering new functions and all.
If you have any questions just ask.
hi, I suppose it comes with Evernote pre-installed... does it come with one year of premium subscription, too? Thanks

Does the phone have build quality issues like being able to fit a business card between the screen edge and the body?
I looked at one at Best Buy today and there were no spaces between the glass and the edge. I think someone just got a messed up unit.

Nope, there is no build quality issue and there is no gap betwen screen and body.
I can post pictures if you want.
Try to squeeze it and see if it laggs . Make that multi task burn! LOL
Try to use like 7 apps at the same time.
Also does the gallery app have a delay openning? And the phone dialer when you tap on contacts in my s3 it needs 3 seconds to show the contacts...is it the same for n4?
Hows battery life?

Running like 8-9 apps, tried switching between them and it is fast. No lag at the moment.
About the gallery. It opens it instantly but it takes few seconds to liad the photos. Until then it is white screen with blue bar on top
Phone dialer has no lag, it opens instantly and it is ready to use the same second. Same goes for contacts, no lag.
Battery life, to soon to judge but on this charge it took 12% to get 47 minutes screen on. It was moderate usage.
I must say, samsung keyboard is bad. Screen is big but typing is not so good. Will change keyboard for Android L.
Ram usage is 1.5 gb in normal.
And I have disabled few apps like facebook, instagram, ets.
And device is dying for DPI change.

I am in Europe so I believe it is international version.
Color is white.
Yes, I can swipe from right corner but not all apps support that right now. For example Tapatalk does not allow that but whatsapp does.

There's no mention of UV sensor, oxygen sensor or even the heart rate sensor... the "device layout" goes flash, but doesn't mention the sensor right next to the flash... do those sensors work on your device??? There was speculation that Samsung would have problems getting the Note 4 to pass through certification if it's a medical device (those heart and oxygen sensors).

Is it a review model?
Do you guys think they will finally smooth out and actually put a little better production into their main functioning apps?
I am so ready to switch to a stock rom for this thing due to touch-wiz being so horrible in some areas.
In what areas do you find TouchWiz horrible on the Note 4? I have zero problems with it.

Just like my S5, but what's wierd was I added soft keys on my s5 by qemu.mainkeys=0 on the build prop for on screen button and for some reason the on screen buttons were instant/fast but the hard keys took 1 second to load....
For some reason I can't add oncreen buttons on the stock or custom roms like I can with EVERY android phone I ever owned
The dialer is gross, the stick I'm ap o for Samsung is buggy and choppy, thankfully I found textra, this app is weird with scrolling, it takes sometimes 10 seconds for a phone call to connect, the multi window does take a long time to load at times can get annoying when I'm trying to do someth u ng in a hurry. The notification bar when you are using a 3rd party keyboard it stays there also indo b t like how the quick settings constantly show at the top of the notification bar takes up space and I'm always activating or deactivating by mistake.

I bought this over the N6 because of hardware. N6 is also a little bigger. This phone is perfect for me, however Samsung upped the Ram to 3gb yet I feel like I have less ram to work with. TW is incredibly slugish after using 5.0 on my N5. I honestly feel like the N5 out performs this Note 4 thru daily activities.
I wanted note 4 hardware with pure aosp. TW is bloated with a ton of useless garbage.

Greetings all,
What is it ?
I found this application in the Goole Play store which simulates the "Always On Display" feature for all AMOLED devices.
It is basically turns all pixels in AMOLED screen into black except the selected pixels for the clock. Yes it works with all kind of screens however it causes battery drain for non AMOLED screens.
Issues:
- Doesn't work well with fingerprint as you need to tap the home button every time you need to open the screen
- Doesn't work with 3rd party lock screen apps.
note:
Please note that I'm not the developer, I just know the developer and I can communicate with him issues.
or you can directly do so in the comments section in the Play Store

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any option to automatically move the clock around the screen. It gives you the option to have it be on the top center or bottom of the screen, but no option to automatically move it around to prevent burn-in.
I would love to be proven wrong, cause I really want this app to work and not burn my screen! But I don't see the option, and thus far it's not moving on it's own...

I have done but the drain tends to be the same either way.
Amplify has had a good impact on my phone but at the moment i don't use that either, for me it's really about the apps that want to constantly update, so facebook, twitter etc.
Is this different with our default clock's "night mode"?
night mode also automatically move the time.
any tap on the screen will return it to the lockscreen, if its locked, returns to the clock menu if unlocked.
Nice app, but could have more customization options, such as changing the battery icon and much more! But i liked of this app
This app is working great on my Pixel XL. Disabled all the gestures for "waking" the phone up as I have fingerprint scanner.
