I use TWRP recovery and I find it much simplified and newbie friendly compared to CWM, anyway,

Normally, a wipe data/factory reset will do, doing this will not fully format your system(only data and cache), meaning it's just like factory reset on stock phone where you can still boot and set up your phone like you're using it for the first time, except it will NOT wipe your Internal Storage or Micro SD card.

To perfectly clean your system and install from scratch, you have to format the system as well, but this is usually done automatically when you install a custom rom like wanam's so it's not necessary.

Just becareful with the menu and avoid formatting Internal Storage or Micro SD card and you're safe.

Waze works perfectly fine on other lollipop phone and other samsung lollipop so it's probably not an app-side problem. :\

I have maxis one plan with unlimited call, and I talk on phone a lot, never had a drop-out call actually, I really don't think Note 4's reception is that bad.

This is indeed my only issue with Note 4's touchwiz at the moment. >.<

I hope you had a case on, anyway, open the dialer and dial *#0*#, you can test everything in there.

I have a 64gb microsd card from Samsung, no problem at all.

If you're daring and good at diy/tech, you can get the parts from ebay cheaper.

Can't find Malaysia(XME) release on Sammobile, for other countries they are all the same base(BOC3). >.<

Indeed, even if there is a new release, Malaysian most likely won't be the first to have it anyway.

Indeed, I'm actually quite happy with Note4's kitkat, have been on Lollipop for a week and back to Kitkat, there isn't much to miss really. :|

Heh, what is the warranty period for their chargers? So far I have no problem yet, just wondering.

Waze works perfectly on Lollipop Note 3(and other devices) so I don't think it is waze issue.
Have you actually tried the Poland Lollipop release yourself? There're also other issues mentioned in several posts on the first page of this thread. After updated My benchmark decreased from 50k to 30k, battery life also decreased and phone gets hot for no reasons. Samsung has not enabled x64 on their lollipop for Note4, probably never will due to their 32bit Qualcomm counterparts.


Of course, if they fixed all these problems then there is no reason to not update.

I used before it before, even though I did not notice any reception issue, and it looks excellent at first sight, I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm glad it works fine for you, but if you look at the several posts at first and 2nd page, I am not the only one having those issues. I'm also stating my experience with the currently lollipop being is not stable(for me anyway), and I will upgrade when Samsung fixed those problems in future. BTW, yes, I did a clean install.

Here's my reason:


Now I am using the plastic version. My metal frame looks like shit now, after several attempts to bend it back, I gave up.

BOC3 as expected.

Don't think it is lollipop based on the codes...

Ya, apasal NK5 and NL2?

Interesting guys, please printscreen the build numbers of the update?

EDIT: It seems like all latest update April 1st are BOC3 based, slightly disappointed.

Heh, at least now more people have it, and more people will complain then hopefully, either Samsung and Waze will try to figure it out.

Interesting, can someone else please double confirm this?

Since you're rooted, why not go with custom rom? L5 have been available for quite some time, here is close-to stock BOC3 custom rom.

I think most people having stability and battery issue on the first lollipop release, but due to waze problem I haven't try the later releases yet, if more people confirm waze working then I will finally update to lollipop.

tq, please help testing waze ya. >.<
