Title says it all actually!
Recently I've been having issues with my Note 4. I'll be in a perfect signal area, full signal everything firing on all cylinders...except when people call me I don't get the calls.
And attempting to call anyone back, results in my call sitting there counting down the timer until it times out and ends the call.
So I recently unlocked my Note 4 Retail bootloader (CID conversion). Rooted, and am running stock upgrade 5.1.1 which I grabbed from the Development section here for our phones.
Same deal as before.
Shame too, this phone is running so smoothly too, the best it ever has.
Have tried flashing stock FW through Odin 3.10.6, and not converting the CID or rooting, no dice.
Can't make phone calls, can't receive phone calls.
My sim card is fine as well, it was working about 4 or 5 days ago prior.
Didn't know where else to post this problem, have searched for hours (maybe in the wrong places?) and have no progress to show for it. This phone is my daily driver and I have no other, nor the cash to pay for a replacement from VZW right now.
Are there any settings I can change, or something I missed? Did I flash the wrong 5.1.1 upgrade file in Odin? I'll link to the one I used specifically.
Topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/firmware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
FW used = N910VVRU2BPA1:
Full Firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24411628330026105
Thanks and sorry for the light novel!
Any further details can be provided!
Did you update the modem?

Yup, updated the modem. Not sure if I flashed the correct file or not though.
I flashed this file: N910VVRU2BPA1_Modem.tar.md5 the other day, but no noticeable changes have happened. Looks like its new phone time unfortunately...
Thanks for replying by the way!
Apologies for taking so long to respond!
Same thing just happened to me using Kyubi Note 5 port. I just wiped everything and re-flashed Paulpizz's ROM. When I say wiped everything, I mean everything including internal storage. Data and calls working normally now.

I'm not sure if Paulpizz's OP was updated but I'm using his most recent update that is posted on page 7 of the thread. ROM is stable and clean. With Xposed installed I'd have to say it is the best ROM available. His ongoing support for the ROM is amazing. Just waiting for him to port some Note 5 features.

Thanks for the reply!
Hate this happened to you as well, but feel a bit relieved at least one other person has dealt with this.
I'll try wiping everything completely again and see what happens. But I'm pretty sure VZW have stopped service on my Note 4 in particular...
It's a long story no one is interested in, but I actually got my Note 4 for free from a relative.
I worked out a deal where I repaired and rooted a couple phones for him, and he gave me his old Note 4...which unfortunately he lost at work, received a replacement, then the old one turned up a week later on the job site he was working at...then gave that phone to me, so if anyone is familiar with similar situations such as this, that basically means the phone was blacklisted (lost or stolen list).
Can't get a new sim card for it either, that's how I found out about all this the other day. Got 8 months use out of it though...can't complain too much.
Longer story short, ended up spending my first paycheck from the new job on a Nexus 6 today, be here in a few days probably...
The Note 4 is going to be my media player though, due to sd-card slot and all .
Thanks for the replies everyone!
Would you still choose the note edge today over the note 4? If yes why and if no why. Include your variant and which OS you're running thanks. Or if you would choose a different phone that came out at the same time as them two
I like the original phone as it was delivered,but there's no way in hell I'd ever let those idiots at Samsung push an update to it again,knowing what I know now.

Not true, I have the exact same Canadian model as you and my phone never reboots. I've had this phone since kitkat and I've installed custom ROMs, Kernels and I've also ran stock on kitkat, lollipop and marshmallow. No reboots. Maybe you just flashed the wrong thing or didn't do regular cleaning/backups (wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory resest)

I just explained to you that I did not have reboots on stock as well as rooted on all android versions. It's not good to spread misinformation. "You" are having reboots, not everyone else that updated

It's only misinformation if it's not true.
I also am not the only one who had the problem as evidenced by a large number of people who were factory updated from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1 and posted about it on the web.
At least in my case the phone asks for password saying that it's needed after reboot, but it doesn't actually reboot. You can check if it's the same for you using an uptime widget such as this.
As for the question from the OP, yes, I would still prefer the Note Edge. The main reason is that I like to be able to control my phone and media player using the edge screen, while keeping the navigation software map (Waze) uninterrupted.

I'm having a hoot with my phone and what it can do. I didn't quite realize just how "niche" the phone was, and as a consequence, there isn't much development interest in it. Still, finding it a great phone.
I'm now 6.01 without any noticeable issues that I can tell, but perhaps I'm not sophisticated enuf to really know. Biggest beef is that the battery life sucks especially if your using it continuous, as in playing some game or other. Can actually watch the percent meter go down. Lol.
btw, throwing out a big hi to all you Albertan's. I'm was Edmonton native, born and raised.

I see you love the phone but not the operating system .... battery hog.
I've heard that about Marshmallow.
I wonder what sort of garbage Samsung is running in the background to cause this?
It's probably why a fair number of people who love the phone root and install their own operating system.

"Would you still choose the note edge today over the note 4?"
Yes, after 1+ year of use I would, over any phone.
Performance, screen, camera, edge panel, S-pen, all awesome!
Love the phone but should have opted for the unlocked version instead of the carrier (AT&T) version.
I'd buy another if i had the extra cash. I love this phone. Very few share my thoughts. But in all honesty, f*** them. I use the phone , it suits me. Thats all that's matters!! I wish the dev was better, or for an upgrade to 6.1.1 with the theme store. But lets get real, this phone was a limited edition type thing. I knew that coming in. It still turns heads and i still get good battery life.

i am getting one , whats a good basic rom to root or remain stock ?
I have the Edge great phone...just Crap support and firmware from Samsung...I had random reboots but installed the latest update (Rooted it, Xposed) and its much better, not one reboot on new firmware --DPH4
Maybe I would give my thoughts on this, but I've been stuck for 3 says now, trying to unlock the bootloader. I'm on the Verizon variant. I've actually successfully unlocked the bootloader, I'm stuck on flashing the MM firmware without bootloader. The file is corrupt, and the md5 is no good. The user that uploaded the file won't reply, it's been 3 days. So I'm stuck!

ok i just gotten my edge , was on lollipop , played for a while , installed some apps , suddenly when the battery reach 25 % it started to reboot loop non-stop , ah what a bummer , i updated to MM OTA , finger cross ....hopefully no more reboots
i just recently picked up 2, ones blacklisted and has mmc_read failures but was $100 and bought for donor parts, the second i traded a dell laptop for and it is fine but had random reboots and lockups, flashed both back to stock 5.1 and then put riverrom on them both and they seem to be ok now, the donor does still reboot and fail more then id like, but the second one seems fine now after 2 days
I still like this phone. My biggest complaint lately is battery life (got a new battery), and an inordinate amount of screen burn-in. I can see on light screen where the lock-screen notifications usually are, as well as other sections of the screen that are burned in from static images.
I just woke up this morning and my phone updated. Now it only charges to 60%. I'm pissed. Real pissed. Who has a solution? I just looked on Sammobile.com. No .tar files are there to flash a downgrade. Beware. Turn off auto update, or you'll get screwed too.
I got this message too. It didn't update automatically though.

I just tried to revert the firmware to get rid of the stupid nag screen and 60% battery limit. It did not work. ODIN failed. There is no way in hell I'm giving this phone back. I'm going to find an exploit. Some how, some way. Somebody out there knows how to get rid of this. If I have to I'll pay for a JTAG service through my boy in Vietnam . I've already contacted him for support, but he is asleep right now I'm assuming.
Anyone find out a fix for this

When I download this it is a .jar file and not apk
I fell victim to it myself. It really sucks because I was out contract for years. Dedicated a 2yr contract in exchange for paying $430. So yeah I can get my money back and a free phone, but when the next note comes out I'll have to spend $800+ to buy it since I'm in contract now.
Funny thing though now that I have this 60% limit, the phone is running much hotter and has become more laggy. I know this is intentional to make us trade it, but I've had mines since day 1 (didn't have any exchanges in) and I've had 0 problems. Thanks to the media for being there to magnify an issue that doesn't seem to be as big as they make it.
Samsung needs to be more like Apple in the phone issue Department "f you it was probably your fault", "you used a 3rd party product", or "It's a fake version of our phone".
Hopefully someone comes out with a way to remove this update or charge limit.

Yes sir. It's an easy fix. Keep reading the thread.
Thanks man. It works. It does wipe your data so make sure you back everything up. Also Samsung Pay will no longer work. Since Samsung is forcing the recall, once you lose samsung pay, though it's loaded in the phone it won't open. Just gives you the "hopefully samsung pay will be supported for your phone soon page". But hey either charge 60% and keep Samsung Pay or Charge 100% and lose it.

i think u cannot see fingure print sensor option is because ur sensor is damaged. zuk z1 has fingerprint sensor design issue. if it is damaged go to service centre they will replace it. under warranty then free of cost. i had same problem. now fine.

How is that possible? If your sensor is damaged how will the software option disappear? The software option will still be present, but just that you can't use it. It must be still shown in the settings menu right?

I'm currently running on NucleaROM -M6.0 (Final and Stable). And also used RR6.0 which is kinda heavily customisable. Basically I'm not into customisation but need a good battery backup. So I chose NucleaROM over RR. And I'm impressed!
And this is just my opinion... I don't mean to discourage any devs! Actually I'm very happy to see so many devs working for this beast when people who are paid for doing this is not even giving a damn! ****ing Lenovo! Well, I get kinda carried away when I talk about this. My apologies.

Yes bro, we have to presume that it is a hardware issue. You must replace the sensor. But the thing that wonders me is that how did it happen? Any chance of applying over pressure on the sensor? Or did it come in contact with water? Maybe when you tried to unlock the phone with wet hands? Any chances of that kind?
Nope it suddenly happened
After power shortage battery died and when booted again the sensor was not working I reseted it 3 times changed the ROM but nothing happened
I will now try nougat Roms and will finally downgrade it to original cm 12.1 and get it replaced

Yeah... I've seen them... But I still don't understand how the sensor will stop working all of a sudden!. Saw a post saying that when he woke up the next day morning he was asked to setup the fingerprint reader. How can that happen? Overnight the sensor decided to die? Lol ?. Until and unless we did something bad to it, it can't go wrong right?

The fp reader can also die if you do nothing, already seen.
Apparently only a security fix though it appears newer than the 1AQEB rolling out in Europe and other places. No apparent Bluetooth fix, though my very, very brief range test with the S3 Classic worked. I did not get disconnected until I was about 25-30 feet away. More testing is required of course. The patch seems light in size compared to the 1AQEB, with 1AQEJ coming in at approximately 270MB VS. 670MB for the 1AQEB. Only visible difference is that I am now on May 1st, 2017 security patch.
Interesting.

You can download and flash this to any Canadian variant of S8/S8+. They are all exactly the same phones.

Did you buy your device direct from Samsung, full retail, or subsidized? As for where to grab it, I suppose I could download the latest firmware for my device and upload it somewhere or alternatively you can look for somebody posting it here on XDA or Sammobile.

Strange. I'm on Bell and OTA says I'm on the latest with 1AQDE.

I received it as well this morning, I'm on Virgin Mobile
Not available on Rogers yet.
I have massive battery drain all of a sudden. Google Play Services are keeping the device awake all the time. Nothing changed since yesterday except the new update. Cleared the cache a few minutes ago. Have to see if there is any impact.
Got this OTA update on my Bell S8+ this morning. Since i got the update Im having issues on screen sensitivity, like Im texting then menu option pops up or just scrolling my chat messages and then out of the blue it's menu pop up. Using a tempered glass screen protector which has adhesive on edges, working perfect before the update. Will still monitor it and report back tomorrow.
My device got hosed after this update. I had to factory reset it. I am going to attempt a restore now from a backup but I have a feeling that I'm in for a nice new setup from scratch. The phone just went nuts this morning and progressively got worse. Play Services started draining battery like mad, Play Store stopped working, random glitches and crashes, etc. I finally decided that enough is enough. I wasted at least 2 hours troubleshooting the issues in the hope that factory reset won't be necessary. I ought to know better.
After 3 days using this update i guess it's time to do a hard reset. The glitches I'm experiencing are just annoying and there's a slight battery drain issue too.
After factory reset the device seems to be back to normal, more or less. Have to wait out the first 3-5 days for the device to settle in but all the glitches I was seeing are gone now.
Okay, got a chance to test the Bluetooth connection again. There seems to be a bit of improvement in range. This might be placebo effect. Beyond that, nothing has improved at all. I am still having trouble with Bluetooth dropping at random, connectivity and discovery issues, etc. Same as before. I don't believe that this update incorporated any of the Bluetooth fixes that were discussed for 1AQEB.
Got it today on Vidéotron, no issues so far.
