Hi there xlighx! We've got the same phone so I can relate to the draining of battery and heating of your device. I think this App might help you
Search for OPG or Open Power Guard in your Play Store App. You might even see other Apps like this which could be better depending on how you use your phone.

It can take over 2 weeks for Google to push out the OTA to every phone but not sure you will get it in Iran if their is no Google there. If they can't see your phone they can't send the OTA.

Why is everyone waiting for the OTA? Isn't the link for the ota around here somewhere?

Yeah dude I wouldn't rely on Google... There's a bunch of different ways to flash it though in the general section whenever you get a chance even for stock unrooted devices
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
well right now i dont have enough time and access to my laptop for flashing it.. its much easier for me to Have OTA
and over flashing or OTA.. i want to know if I can do it while I'm in iran or not.. kinda knowledge.. :silly:

Sort of difficult to tell. Perhaps you can contact Google support and ask them. Still, downloading the update and flashing it manually is easier than you think.

Flashed RC-SuperSU-c2.73-20160517124156.zip
I have now flashed this new firmware N915FYXXU1DPI3, it too early to tell if it resolves any of the issues of the previous firmware....
What I can tell you at the moment is that the phone seems to be getting hot, but not sure if this is because the ROM is settling down....
Marshmallow update has been an absolute disaster....
I hope this update fixes things. ...
Okay been running this new update since yesterday, no reboots. It's still not fast and is still laggy.... Not good... My note 2 knocks it into a cocked hat for usability...
Sent from my SM-N915FY using XDA-Developers mobile app
I still have soft reboots... albeit less frequently

Okay since my last post and the new firmware has settled down it still does the same thing, random soft reboots, I also have an intermittent problem with bluetooth, it seems to loose where it's up to and then speeds the song up to catch up with what I think is the time stamp....also when using the camera app sometimes whe taking a photo the phone shuts down and I have to pull the battery to restart it.
Same problems....I am at the point of selling this phone now as it becoming unusable for me.
Whats also more annoying is recently I flashed my NOTE2 with a new Rom and my S4 with Nugget, both are way more responsive then the Note Edge
Feeling disillusioned...

I see your point, but since I have returned to 5.1.1 I am really happy with this phone. And with my old Note 10.1 LTE it was the same: No support, no updates, and after flashing a custom rom it is again my dayly driver for games, work and movies. Love the Note family although Samsung really works hard on destroiing their reputation on it. So, I will stay with my note and 5.1.1.
Thnx for testing!

Google Play store Issue after manually updating to Android N (xt164)Moto G4 plus

Hello Experts ,
I am facing an issue with my device(Moto G4 Plus) after updating it manually to Android N (Blur_Version.24.31.64.athene.retail.en.US).
The issue is with downloading anything from Google Play store. It always shows Downloading..... and nothing happen after that.
I tried to Uninstall the play store ,and clear the cache and Data of the app and tried to Factory restore as well , but no luck.
Any suggestion or help is appreciated here !!
Thank you !!
That's because it takes time for Google Play to configure itself. I experienced it too. Just restart your device bro. That'll do.
Restarting Ur device may help !
Clear data of Google play store it'll work

Guys, you are in pretty hurry. Whats need to flash the Nougat firmware when you would get soon from Motorola on your device which is generally free of such bugs.

Am using the soak test build , and I was the one who posted the links here , I don't have any bugs of play services ! Maybe some are having !
Yes, I have heard a lot of complaints wih the soak test build having bugs with the play store. I have also installed the soak test build and I am not experiencing any suck issues. Surprisingly even the battery life on my device is well enough good with 4.5-5 hours of screen on time.

You can try reverting to marshmallow, but I fear if you might be able to do so since your bootloader does get updated.

Samsung s7 edge sm G935T firmware update?

Hi,
I have recently bought Samsung s7 edge T mobile unlocked , but it not showing update. The last updated was android 6.0.1 on November 1st, 2016. I have also tried to connected with smart switch pc app but it's not showing any update either. I want to update my device with official firmware so that it will update automatically and regularly. I'm in Pakistan.
I have seen on Sam mobile to update via Odin. I want to know is this official update? I have not rooted and don't want to get rooted , I want to keep it official.
Thank you
WEIRD is knox tripped ?
Could be that the unlock was not done officially by the carrier, and it tripped KNOX or the OTA security bit.
I've been looking for a reputable download for the SM-G935T G935TUVS4BQJ2 firmware. For some reason T-Mobile does not have a download link now.

Phone is alive again! Rooted, mildly debloated BQJ2 firmware (by mildly I mean, some sammy apps, LookOut, and T-mobile app removed)
Of note, Substratum made my phone lag for some reason, even with the governors set correctly and whatnot. Will try clearing cache on the app and then clear cache in recovery and see if it works better. The whole reason I had to reflash is that for some reason when I accidentally changed the GPU governor in Kernel Adiutor, it broke Play store.
Can anyone help with this. After updating to QBJ2, it won't detect network anymore, keeps searching!
Anyone got a fix please?
I have virus
What I have to do?

hmm is that the AT&T version?. I'm asking because i had battery issues back then on a particular build of 5.1.1.
I would check sammobile or smart switch to see if you really do have the latest version, since sometimes OTA and smartswitch doesn't catch it.
if it is brand new and you can't fix via resetting and updating. i would see if u can return it or either live with it.
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/galaxy-note-4-at-t if you scroll down, you can see if you have the latest version or not.
