Hi all,
I have had my Note for few weeks and like it, but have a few queries.
1 - The battery for me dies really quickly when doing anything, I can fully charge it then talk on Facebook for an hour and it's down to 50% just from that, or play a game and in a hour it loses 60%, is this normal? I have everything turned off and brightness down at 50% (I kinda refuse to have it less than that as one of the reasons I got the phone is because if the display) and even at 50% it isn't as good as I know it can be, but the battery just dies so quickly!
The following queries are regarding ICS which I updated too yesterday.
2 - Since upgrading to ICS, everytime I get a text and read it the message icon number doesn't leave from the messaging tab, like as if I haven't read the text, this didn't happen before the upgrade and wondered if anyone else is having this issue and what I can do? I can get rid of it via deleting convo or restarting the phone but I shouldn't have to do those things.
3 - I have noticed more lag since upgrading, like half a second when changing pages and stuff, not a massive deal but again it wasn't like that before, is it because ICS is more ram hungry and that's just way it is? I have noticed a lot more ram being used since upgrading, and when I goto task manager and close apps it will say for example '12 applications closed' and then I go straight back into it without opening anything else and it will say '15 apps closed'...Again, this never happened with Gingerbread.
Anyway, any advice appreciated.
Thanks
Hmm, just read the sticky, should this topic be in the questions and answers forum? Sorry if so and if someone could move it I would appreciate it, thanks.

I'm afraid to say I am not good with phones and the techs of them.
I updated it via the official software update on the phone, it popped up and asked me to update and I did.
Don't worry about it... We aren't dealing with rocket science.. Here in xda we have lot of experienced advisors who have created "how to" threads in development section. Just find the stickies in that forum you can find Dr. Ketan's guide about flashing roms thru PC Odin. It's zero risk. Anyone can do that. That would definitely solve your problems.
Here is the thread..

Thanks, will take a look and see if it helps.
Sorry I am bit thick but didn't really understand a lot of it haha.
Found out today as well that since upgrading to ICS I can no longer send or receive mms and my GPS has stopped working! Great. Got an ace phone and now can't do the most basic of things, and apps keep crashing since updating too.
I noticed a lot of people have similar probs to me from reading about, the phone updated to version 4.0.3 while a lot of people who don't seem to be having the probs have 4.0.4 but the Note won't update to that.
Really annoyed, and the battery is just ten times worse on ICS for me, I went to be with it at 100% and woke up and it was at 70% with everything turned off!!!
As I said I am not phone savvy but with all these probs I am not happy and might take it to a shop to see if they will downgrade back to GB which I was very happy with as not sure what to do...Can't send or recieve mms's, gps not working, laggy, very poor battery drainage, when I get a text and read it the number icon doesn't leave the messaging icon plus more.
Not happy, feels like I have a basic phone that I am paying top price for!!
This is not a rant or a moan or whatever you want to call it. This is just clearing a few things up after the last few days what i have been reading on the forum.
Firstly support for N4 will still be there after this update, and i am sure we have at least one more major update to come for our beloved device. People saying that our phone will be next are just talking rubbish. People all over the forum are crying thinking that our device will be next. Until a confirmation from Google can people please stop with the conspiracy theories.
Also regarding with the launcher. Now i am not that really bothered if it gets released or not as i do not use Google Now. But again were is the official confirmation that the launcher will not be included for our device? There is none. Just tech sites writing there stuff as usual and every one is lapping it up and making a fuss.
I love my phone and i do not see a reason why i should upgrade to the Nexus 5. I do not want though people in the forum to start moaning about things that are not official yet from the God itself which is Google. Yes they are not perfect but until the actual release gets to our device and we have things missing then fine all hell can break lose.
Oh and one last thing. Yes am gutted that we not got the update soon as the release came out but we are still the first to get it were other mega devices are not getting it at least December or Xmas the earliest..So am still thankful for the Nexus line. But that will start not meaning anything soon anyway if they carry this new strategy of there to put money first before anything else.
But till then please take a chill pill people.
This will get shut down and deleted am sure but i just wanted people to read this and seriously take it easy till there is ACTUAL CONFIRMATION by GOOGLE THEMSELVES..
Mods sorry if this should not be here but sometimes a man has enough when reading through the forums and having whiny kids whine all the time.
And to add...We are XDA...If things go missing and are not included in the build that our beloved N4 should get then people trust our great and respectful Developers here who are if you do not mind me saying better than those at Google..We will have those features that the N5 has and if not should be better build than stock...So please show your support for our devs and less whining and help this place for newbies instead of moaning all the time about something that has not been confirmed yet
:highfive: for you!
This is exactly my opinion on the subject.
If you are on XDA, odds are that you know how to mod your phone, and believe me, everything that will not come with the official OTA will be made avaliable soon here on XDA.
Right, you might need root, you can argue you do not want to root but then what is the point of your anger if you do not want to take action to get something you want?
Just wait for Google to release the OTA and everything will be clear!
Should be soon I guess

exactly my friend. until something has been confirmed i do not understand why people are panicking. and by the next update which will be by summer time our phone should be more than capable to handle it and i am sure we are in for that to. phones should have a support from the OS development team ie Google at least maximum two years...so why are people are stressed is beyond me.
Now as the Galaxy Nexus that is a strange one and Google should state the reasons why they are not supporting it but again that is nothing to do with me or concerns me..But for people to start saying that the N4 is next is beyond silly to say

Sure there is confirmation. It is not included in the Nexus 7 WiFi KitKat update. And Google confirmed it with The Verge and said it is possible they will bring it to other devices other than the N5 someday but not initially.
Great post OP.. You know what I think it is? Purely my opinion after mulling over how absolutely weird the 4.4 rollout and release has been.
Ever been in a corporate environment where someone important is replaced? It's hell.. JBQ left and was replaced.. So here you have a new guy who is pulling the old corporate "I'm new and have to flex my superiority and change things to make it look like I'm doing something different and being productive" (ie: Fishing for his next promotion).. This happens in nearly every business.. It's hilarious to watch happen in real life because most employees know it's coming.. 3 months later after everyone hates the new guy and his useless changes everything goes right back to the way it was. I'm certain all the rumblings this is causing is being heard..
This is all very nice but it makes my think longer and hard did l make the right decision buying a nexus 4.With the ota out for nexus 7 and 10 l just wonder what the delay is with nexus 4

It has to do with the Ti core not being supported anymore. Also, not being supported by Ti did not meant it doesn't work for Galaxy Nexus, just means Google would not support a device without former support to its hardware.
Anyways, Galaxy Nexus got 4.4 already, go Install it

To be honest the reason why i opened this thread is to get my opinion about the many things that i have read on the forum. Many false information that is going around by others is beyond ridiculous because they listen to tech sites most of them without any proper confirmation by Google itself...Now as to regarding the updates that are coming for our device if there is an official changelog by Google to say what are the changes from the older nexus devices compare to the N5 then i will eat my hat if it is out already stating what we are getting and missing out on..
But again people forget that XDA is here to help..Hence why we should not be ranting and raving
What am trying to say is that i want this thread to stick to a proper adult discussion about our device regarding the build that we should get..And i do not want people to give mis-information till we get it from the Big Boss itself

I can understand your point here OP but, the purpose of forums such as this one is to allow for open discussion on a topic. I see no issue with speculation or assumption as long as people keep their heads. That is, after all, what makes things interesting and keeps people intrigued. If we went purely on the facts at hand 100% of the time, discussions would end fairly quickly and most forums would be desolate places.

I am letting all Note 4 users that have a back button issue know why. This is not many, but I did find this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/capacitive-button-sensitivity-t2911753
But because that thread started with about being with AT&T, when in fact, it is a general Note 4 issue, I started a thread in this section.
So it isn't a general Note issue, it's just a manufacturing defect on a very limited number of devices.
Hardly a clarion call that all Note 4 owners need to pay attention to.
Regards,
Dave
A manufacturing defect.... Thanks for all your help!
It isn't nice to make fun of someone who is only trying to help others. When I had this issue, I couldnt find anyone else having this problem so it was confusing as to why it wasn't working and if it was just how I was doing it. This forum section said only to not post a question, which this isn't.
If you can read, I said it was for people who had this issue, not All note 4 people. I bet you also made fun of those other people who had a thread subject in this forum that didnt apply to everyone, didn't you?
Get a life!
On the 2 Note 4s I've had I needed to press harder than I did on my GS4. It's not a huge issue and it seems like a lot of Note 4s are this way and people just may not notice. I am also running a glass screen protector though, which makes it even less sensitive. But again, not a deal breaking issue. Now the screen inconsistencies, that's annoying as hell.

"Like you all" strongly suggests that the entire Note 4 community was experiencing this issue, which clearly they are not.

from the same article that you posted about the n5 being discontinued..
Update: There’s a possibility that Google is stopping the production of only the 32GB version of Nexus 5, as the XDA user above was asking for a replacement of 32GB Nexus 5. We will be contacting LG/Google for clarification and will update this article accordingly.

End of production was to be expected from my point of view.
But "delayed" update was a quiet a surprise because I was expecting at the end of November.
I'm quiet happy that they will release OTA on 12th, that means the image will be up few days sooner.

Nah it will not end.
http://www.google.com/nexus/5/
The site says it all.
Yea... Wouldn't make sense to discontinue it, and take the effort to redo the Nexus 5 page showing it running Lollipop.
Come on guys, you know how it is. This is rumor season. A bunch of people just randomly show up to the forum to post something they probably saw on G+ or something. Take 99.99% of all of this stuff with a grain of salt. As for the N5, I'll believe it's discontinued when you can't buy it on the Play Store from a link that says get your NEW Nexus 5 here...
So, you're pointing to a blog that in turns points back to lively thread here in our very own forums... Needless to say the original XDA thread does a fine job of repudiating the idea that the N5 has been terminated -- for all the reasons noted in the above posts. Circular posts like this just feed the rumour mill and before long we all end up authoritatively on IBTimes!
Though the N5 portion of this thread seems redundant in light of the XDA source thread I'll add a further 2¢: The original complaint seems to be someone trying to RMA their device (specifics are lacking), If that's the case he/she would only be offered a refurbished unit as per Google policy. That wouldn't explain the explain the wording of the feedback from Google Play, but in that case I'd suggest it's little more than miscommunication. In fact, the wording of the Play email is rather unlike anything I've ever had back from Google/Play support.
Said thread / rumour began here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/nexus-5-wont-produced-anymore-t2921263/page2
EDIT: *sigh* Even the postponement item is a report on a rumour from another site. "Android Police claims to have learned that the over-the-air (OTA) update for Android 5.0 Lollipop has been postponed to until..." While AP is a very credible source (and this report has been thoroughly covered in the appropriate forum here already), linking to a repeat of a report is fairly useless unless the fresh take offers an actual fresh take with, ya know, with new details or insights.
What happened to official statements? Are they valid nowadays? Because Google hasn't officially declared anything regarding this... So why discuss it further?

Yep, this trend makes it appear as if there is a lot less content too. Plus like you mention I'm not reading 100 pages in a thread with a title I have no interest in.
Much easier to have more specific topics with several pages than broad topics with hundreds of pages where who knows what page the info I'm looking for might be on.

Well, if you had read the blog post that you cited regarding end of production you'd have seen that it was referring to (and linked to!) an XDA N6 thread. If, having realized this, you still felt there was a clear need to (re)post it here you could have - at least - linked directly to the original XDA thread.
Another future of N5/Nexus thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2919674
And most here know that all L discussion goes in the L general or Q&A threads until it's officially released. Hence the reason every single L or Lollipop thread has been closed by the moderators.... In case you didn't see that trend. ?
Please guys. Stick to the L sticky threads as we've been asked to numerous times. ?
This is very good news.
Now android l can fix the problems of nexus 5 and make much better. now i like nexus 5. nexus 6 too big, it sad and sad

I will point out that the 32GB is out of stock on the Nexus 5 minisite, but that just means out of stock, which means no backorderable stock, which could mean waiting on new manufacture. I actually believe that Google understands, as do I, that this phone is still very cutting edge; and at this price point, most certainly the best buy for the dollar on the market. I have the opportunity to get any new phone now with a company paid monthly bill on AT&T or Verizon. You know what? I'm gonna keep my N5 on Straight Talk. Call me a dummy but I can't find a phone I like more with the features I've grown attached to (wireless charging ftw), a brilliant high dpi screen, and a form factor that fits just right (any larger and I can't one-hand it on the subway while keeping my other hand on the railing). What really makes a phone feel new is a radically upgraded OS, and that's what I have now with my no-questions-asked free replacement refurb on Android 5.0. Thanks Google!
@KJ is right, plenty of threads to discuss this.

A lot of us have already looked at it and still are looking at it we've had it since Monday. Probably beyond my capabilities but i do know the eteam have been looking at it
Seriously. ..whats wrong with people!? Sure i could have, and no I'm not in search of fame and glory. Maybe when i was 15 and also couldn't behave and be nice to people. What i meant was, that if you think i should have posted this in another thread you can point it out in a nice way or just klick thanks and move on. What rudness leads to is real newcomers wont dear to post anything and therefor wont learn and maybe we all miss out on a great contributior. And i disagree as the other threads i found was either saying our phone got LP or was closed. And i would like to give a big thank you to sawdoctor. He answered in a good manor and that should have been the end of this thread. Or did you alla know that i had been looked in to!?

Yes Sawdoctor, you are completely right ?. And AxAtAx makes a good point also. But my main point stands. We should stop flameing and help each other out. A simple "we have threads to discuss this" would have sufficed. Spare the bad attitude. Or i can be wrong? Maybe a bad climate is what everybody wants?
I really understand the concept of starting thread upon thread with the "same" topic isn't productive . But i really thought this was different than "Wow LP is here!". But if you all think otherwise i apologies.

Dad got an Edge and installed leaked Lollipop on it. If I can do something that could help porting it to our Note 4 please tell. But it shouldn't involve root, he doesn't want to root it (yet?).
Ive ran a note edge rom i modded on my note 4 and it throws off the calibration of the screen even after trying to make the exits so it doesnt do that make my note 4 practically unusable til i got into service mode and reset the calibration
