I have 2 day one note 3's. One was on JB rooted, mine on NC4 safestrapped. My signal was pretty bad, but my wife's was fine on JB. updated both to jasmine stock 5.0.1 rooted and her signal is just as good as it ever was, but mine improved IMMENSELY after the update. I have better signal, and 3g/4G handout is much smoother.
Awesome guys, thanks for the info. Looks like I need to upgrade...

Upgraded just fine, all is good so far. Thanks for the input guys!
I found 1 issue. May just be me since I use the VZW Note 3 on T-Mobile. When I'm talking to an automated system and it wants me to press a button, it will not recognize it if my speaker phone is on. If speaker phone is off, it works fine.
No direct access to microSD under Lollypop
Still no access to apps and games, no way to move photos and music onto microSD without connecting to PC.
Launch day Note 3 here. Upgraded from NK1 then did a factory reset. No obvious issues until the first week in. Phone is noticeably snappier.
1. Samsung keyboard occasionally force closes. Once a week roughly, and I restart my phone every 48 hours.
2. Google play services random force closes-rare.
3. This has only happened once, but YouTube displayed all green while the audio was normal. Both in landscape and portrait mode. During this time, Netflix wouldn't play anything. Samsung Video player would crash as would VLC. A reboot fixed this..
4. The phone seems to switch to 3g at around -110DB now instead of -120. Cool story! This means instead of 1 bar of LTE at work I get 3g. Great. I get a weak signal outside my office building anyway, so no surprise but..
I ran Lollipop for a few weeks then went back to 4.4.4 because of these bugs...and the HIDEOUS orange in the messages app. Yes, I know I could've used another SMS app. I'll go back to Lollipop if/when they straighten this out in the next build (which the note 3 may very well not see for months)

Hi everyone, I have recently updated my Galaxy Note N7000 to jellybean through kies. And the phone now is smooth in screen transactions and lot of new features added to Touchwiz, but the phone has become too slow, laggy and unresponsive. Is it happening with every Galaxy Note user or is it just me?
I mean, even the phone app is taking around 5 seconds to load, and sometimes after a call is disconnected the phone dial pad is shown broken, battery backup is reduced now. Black clipping issue still there and for me it looks like it has even become worse now. The back button has become too unrespinsive compared to working on ICS, I mean the back button takes effect after nearly 2 seconds after pressing which was not there in ICS.
Seeing all these issues I feel jellybean is not a worthy upgrade compared to ICS when we see the mobiles working. But jellybean itself is too good to see with new Touchwiz.
Is it happening only with me or is it same to every Galaxy Note N7000 user out there?

I'm on a custom ROM based on the stock JB, and its been smooth for me.
Which version did u flash? Sounds like u need to start again. Full wipe (safe kernel) and reflash. Should fix most issues.

New versions will come, and you will contradict this argument.
Earlier, 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 were also very unstable, wait, haste is the enemy of perfection.

Welcome to the world of Samsung. *Insert Samsung sound here*
AW: Jellybean update for Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 is bad.
Same. I agree with you. I will stay on the latest version of ICS for Germany. I think it's N7000XXLRT. Only feature is Multi-Window and new Touch Wiz and Google Now.
Multi-Window - only apps which were optimized
TouchWiz - I always use Apex launcher
Google Now - Lag
I don't feel project butter.

There is something wrong with JellyBean on the Note

My exp with JB update was horrible
On the first day I updated my phone with JB (indian JB). I did not even rooted my phone so I used kies for the JB update, for 2 days it was running fine with horrible battery performance and on the third day when I was trying to share wifi for iPad all of a sudden it got switched off and stuck on samsung logo....
power+volume up + middle big (horrible looking button) was not working. My only hope was it was going to download mode. As I only use one number, so it become nightmare for me. After getting help from ThaiDai I was able to flash with GB.
Now I am using GB in these JB days. This note made me feel to switch to iPhone/ sony (previous phone and literally you cannot make any mistake with flashing /rooting because they they provide some excellent PC software to revive your phone).
Here is my side of the story. Downloaded and flash the Indian ROM as soon as it came online in Sammobile. Was working fine for few hours and then it started lagging like crazy. It was so bad that I went to GB, did a full wipe and flashed it again using mobile odin again and the same result.
Transition from one page to another took around 1 sec. So this time went to GB, full wipe and used Kies to update to JB (updated this morning only). The phone feels fast. Lets see what happens in few days.
The caption of the thread is true to the last letter, overall, compared to gb and ics performances. Here I refer performance, not features.

photo editing problem
None of you have mentioned the problem with photo editor...In the ICS version, one could select part of an image and copy it to another image,which isnt possible anymore..
Also i dont think you can edit a part of an image(color,etc) since u cant select it..any way around this??
N700DXLSE
Anyone tried latest JB from sammobile for regional Singapore/Malaysia N700DXLSE??
Even my phone is lagging a lot on jellybean INU firmware! I guess we'll have to wait for a proper upgrade!
i have other problem with jb, s pen. among all the custom rom only sweet rom has s note woking fine, but other rom s note is pretty laggy. Unfortunately all of the rom still have problem with photo note and s planner(using s spen) it is so laggy(not responsive) i dont use s pen that much but just curious to know if anybody can fix it cuz jb is suppose to be butter smooth right?

Dream about it.
My Note is after update on JB slow and laggy and make me crazy. :crying:
I tried speedmode kernels an d impovements are almost non noticable.
Almost all the problems mentioned here by everyone is true. I hope these problems are rectified in the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 update. And seeing the news that Galaxy Note 1 will no longer be updated more than to 4.2.2 makes me feel even bad. Anyway I will thank samsung for giving jellybean at most, but, the worst part of Samsung is that it gave a very buggy jellybean update. Looks like, some how Samsung just wants to get rid of previous flagship devices.
I don't know about others but somehow I kind of like the new TW interface. Folders look pretty neat now compared to boxes in ICS. camera is a bit quicker now. Sound output from speaker is REDUCED (why???). Google Now works fine for me, even on 2G speeds Google now responds perfectly but obviously it takes little more time than on 3G. Gallery looks pretty but takes time to load every time even after being on running apps list. Radio (FM) works fine. Black clipping issue still there and is more worse than previously noticed (anyone agree on this? Or is it just me).
Multi-window supports third party apps as well, not just samsung inbuilt apps(that's good).
I am attaching screen shots of OS version and build number and etc etc with screen shots of third party apps working on multi-window feature.

not sure if this helps, but when I went to ICS I had similar probs (V.V.V.laggy) on the GB rom and samsung support suggested a hard / full reset and that solved it.
has anyone tried that? just dont forget to backup!

Hard reset and FORMAT internal memory(in settings). It's laggy only at the beginning.

It's Samsung's fault because they rolled out Lollipop.
However, Google isn't blameless here - Lollipop has a been a clusterfcuk of a release in my opinion.
The only thing Google seems to have got right is Material Design. Where's the much vaunted improvements in battery life from Project Volta? MIA, even on the two Nexus devices I have.
Definitely seems to have been a case of form over function in Lollipop.
Interestingly, the preview release of Android M runs better on my Nexus 9 than any version of Lollipop ever did.

Dave

I had far too many issues. I rolled back on KK. I said for a while "yeah, LP is awesome. Fluid... even though there are issues with it with the Note 4..." until I got sick of the lags here and there, and the battery drain... rolled back to stock KK, and boy! I'm happy! Battery life is automatically 20% better. I also like the stability, it doesn't feel like a toy anymore. I'll wait for 5.1.1
Where do I downloaded kitkat and roll back without rooting? I hate samsmobile download so please tell me it's an alternative

Easy! Use SamMobile to START the download, and then just copy the name that starts to download, and search for it on google.
Then put your phone in download mode, use Odin (put the ROM in the AP section, make sure you're using the correct rom for your phone), and click start.
Easy But these are the instructions I found. Search in the forum on how to downgrade to KK. That's what I did.
Best of luck!
this is a nightmare, how GN4 is soo slow? I've sold my Nexus 6 to buy this one....and wtf is happen with Samsung :S......why why :'(
I will downgrade o kitkat and I hope for better performance
I recently upgraded my Note 4 sm-n910G last month. I rooted my stock kitkat Note 4 and was loving it, Kitkat was blazing fast before and root was even better. But then i lost OTA and couldnt upgrade to Lollipop, even Kies3 wouldnt as i was "unofficial". After almost a year, i finally said F-IT, and went to Sammobile, got the Australian 5.0.1 BOC3 i believe, and flashed it. Did the factory reset even tho i didnt have to lose everything. In the end, its worked out beautifully, Lollipop runs fast, no lags or bugs. I think Kitkat was a fraction faster, but i dont have issues i keep hearing about battery drains & lags. All goog for me so far.
I cant wait for 5.1 for stock Note 4 rom. Im thinking about rooting this thing once again. I might even flash CM12.1 nightly ROM, the worlds my oyster
Hi Everyone,
I'll keep this short...I've had my Note 4 for about 10 months now. Generally I have to say I feel that I've been living in denial, I love the device from a HW perspective and also the S Pen features however the SW is just too damn clunky, laggy and slow. Right now there is 1 to 2 second delay before it responds to any gestures + this can be up to 5 seconds when launching the camera for example. Also when playing music via Bluetooth it is very choppy and cuts in and out of the track being played (I have tried this on more than 1 Bluetooth device and its the same). When updating to Lollipop it seems that the experience hasn't got better, infact probably worse. I've loaded another launcher (Nova launcher) to see if the problem was touchwiz however its still the same. Lastly I've reset the device to factory 3 times now, which helps however it doesn't take long for it to get back to its usual clunky self. With all of this in mind, I am seriously considering moving on to another premium device however I wanted to throw this out there to you all to see if there was anyone else who had experienced the same issues and even better had a resolution.
Should I root the device and install another rom or simply move on???
Any help is much appreciated in advance.
Thanks,
OB
Try root and try a rom. There are a few out there that have been through the paces
Try another rom, I'm on dn5 and my phone is incredible fast

Thanks for the replies guys. I have a 910F, sucessfully fully rooted it today. I am looking for a fast and reliable ROM which also has the S Pen features. Can anyone recommend one instead of trial and error. Must be 910F variant.
Lastly, do I need to do something to a bootloader or something in order to load the ROM? Apologies if that's a stupid question...I am still quite new to this and learning.

What about your battery performance? I have the same model and it's very bad!!!
I had the same feeling when I got my N910F a couple of months ago (coming from a Note 2 which I felt was more responsive and snappy than the Note 4).
But then I upgraded from the original 5.0.1 to stock 5.1.1 and it's like having a new phone; no more lag, or stutter or delays. This is what the Note 4 should have been like from the beginning.
So I suggest you try first upgrading to stock 5.1.1, no root and Knox intact at 0x0.

My battery last around 9 hours with 3 hours SOT with very heavy use :
Youtube
Radio streaming
Music
Gaming
Many syncs (Outlook, Yahoo mail, Gmail, ICQmail, Instagram, Twitter, BBM, Periscope, Skype, Instructible, Facebook, Facebook messenger, Whatsapp, Line, G+, Path, GTalk, Hangouts, Mega, Dropbox, 4Shared, Box, Drive, Onedrive, Youtube, Sing!, and many more)
For Cloud storage I sync some folder on access using FolderSync.
Downloads
Web browsing for around 1 hours
Some note taking.
WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth is always ON
With medium usage it can lasts for around 13-16 hours.
With light usage it can lasts for 18 -20 hours
With very light usage it can lasts 34 hours max (only standby+music+5 minutes web browsing).
It used to be 42 hours during very light usage, but it's been 1 year so the battery is degrading.
I didn't mention phone call because many of my family members & friends use BBM/Whatsapp/Line/Skype to call me.
I only use a real phone call for less than 15 minutes a day so it's negligible.

Nothing new. Samsung and all other android phone makers have horrible records in keeping their phone updated. I can still run IOS 9.1 beta on my ipad2 which is two years old. Next phone will be either Motorola or Nexus.
Looks like it's off to the 6P I go in a couple months.
This does not rule out a pity update to 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 however.
That's okay. I wasn't too happy with Lollipop. I'll stick with Kit Kat.

How much time did you give Lollipop? The fist 3-4 days I hated it, battery life sucked and I was constantly chasing apps that were killing it. Now I absolutely love Lollipop...better battery life than KK, connects to "screen mirroring" and chromecast instantly, stable with fluid swipes, solid connections on BT, slightly better RF and voice on calls. I'll ride this out for a while until I have $$$ for another used phone.

Takes a couple of charging cycles to fully settle in. Quicker if you clean install, & have SQLite/fsTRIM set up properly.
There may be a 5.0.2 port with an OC1 base coming in a little while. Don't give up on LP just yet

facebook not working
After this update I have the same error that lte icon is not revolving, I believe it isn't connecting to the Spark network.
The other big problem is that my facebook app (official) was crashing, so I uninstalled it and when I try to install via Google Play it doesn't install giving me the -500 error.
I looked in the logcat and it has to do with the some permissions. This was an android bug in 5.0.1 but google fixed it, but with this OTA it has crept up again.
Would it be possible for someone to upload a flashable zip?
Update does fix the fingerprint bug. Working flawlessly since putting it back. Overall phone feels snappier like the day I first bought it. Also like that they got rid of the dreaded spinning spark icon plus signal on band 41 no longer displays just one bar and instead is showing 4-6 bars while inside home! Battery life also took some improvements from this ota.

I don't care about the little spark star. I'm talking about my speeds in general. Seems the radios in this update are not as great.. I like that the retarded star is gone and actually the way lte is being measured is better on band 41 then when we had the old icon. Before it would just sit at 1 bar but now I'm almost maxed out. Ps Spark is still a thing they just removed the icon because a lot of us hated it.

I purchased the Nexus 6P last week and really love the phone, however, doesn't work well with my Gear S watch..........and I miss it. I'm thinking of reactivating my Note Edge......anybody want a new Nexus 6P, Frost, 128gb?
How much? @ycats!
