Anyone else having problems with Lollipop rom?

After flashing and using it for few days I found my phone:

1) Waze glitches (known)
2) Battery life got worse
3) Phone gets hot almost always (never had this on my kitkat even when gaming)

I plan to downgrade to Kitkat until a new lollipop rom is released.

Ahhh... Glad I'm not the only one, every time I use my phone (especially with charger) I feel like I could cook something with it, anyway, my phone is rooted so I am downloading Kitkat custom-rom at full speed. xD

Wanna try Dr Ketan's first, I've been on Lollipop ever since I rooted my phone.

Here's the one I am downloading, Dr Ketan merged all his kitkat stuff into 1 post.

You can also find Kitkat Sweet Rom, etc at Xda forums:

EDIT BTW, kitkat modem is not included in Dr Ketan's rom so you might wanna be careful with that.

Here's a list of KK modems:
*REMOVED*

I'm not sure if KK rom works on L1 bootloader but wanam has KK bootloader on his site:
http://wanamlite.com/2015/02/07/wanamlite-...a2-v1-6-xposed/

I'll try flashing without KK boatloader first, hope all goes well.

Haiz, current L1 rom is too buggy, not recommended to download at all, have to wait for the next one.

Woops, just noticed I posted KK modems for n910u, don't download them, searching n910c's now.

I wonder if KK bootloader is necessary, dun wanna mess with that if possible. :\

EDIT: Aiya, Wanam seems to have the latest KK rom indeed, just finished downloading Dr Ketan, omg.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your new phone.

I'm back to Kitkat finally, miss a few lollipop features and design but I will wait for a more stable release. :|

Dunno, for me, it has gotten so hot that you can feel the hotness even on the screen.

Yes, I did a wipe but the good news is I have TB and I didn't really lose any data other than the setup...

I flashed BL and Modems from Wanam then his rom, everything working fine.

No such problem anymore ever since I am back to KK...

Huh? I always thought they are the same thing, I do noticed my 4G is badged as LTE on Lollipop.

Not normal at all if she is on official Kitkat, have you checked the battery usage to see what's the culprit?

EDIT: Check if she has photo auto-backup enabled via Dropbox or Google+, sometimes this can happen if she transferred a microsd with lots of photos inside.

I'm a Maxis user, never had problems with the signals, I got a plan which give me unlimited calls, have been on phone for an hour+ sometime, never a drop out. Yes I get 2 bars 4G most of the time at my working place Damansara area, but when 4G is out of range I get full bar 3G, so no problem with calls there.

I always have all those on except for Bluetooth, no problem at all with all my phones.

Ever since I got Note 4, I never woke up on my phone's alarm because it switch of itself after one minute and put "alarm silenced after 1 minute" in notification. Is this normal? How do I bypass this band makes alarm rings continuously like on Note 2 or Note 3? Other than download third party alarm?

Note 4 is a much better phone and it costs about 1k more over alpha. It also has one of the best camera compared to other current flagship phones. It also has the best battery life for me, having used Note 2 and Note 3. No overheating issue if you stick with a stable Kitkat rom.

I found DirectD price less attractive these days, but they offer 2 weeks 1 to 1 exchange, free tempered glass replacement for 3 months if you're their member. Yes, I bought mine from them.


If your phone is rooted, i highly recommend flashing a custom rom (like wanamlite) because you may have problem with stock rom if KNOX is not disabled properly.

I have seen Lazada's price from 19XX tp 25XX, feel skeptical...

This is weird, on my Lollipop, Waze is unusable, square white boxes showing up and covering parts of the map, Road names became blocky and not readable. The phone gets warm even when it is idling inside my pocket, got even worse when gaming, it gets so hot even touching the screen felt unpleasant. Battery life gone from 1 day to half day, I have checked an make sure there is no apps running in the background, I have also did a full wipe before flashing.

I bear with these for a couple of days until I finally cannot tahan and flashed back to Kitkat, now all those problems are gone. :|

You can just do a full wipe and flash back Malaysian kitkat firmware.

1. No, KNOX will be voided once you root.
2. Root will cause some issue on stock rom, like Private Mode/Shealth not working properly, there're fixes around but I highly recommend you to flash a custom rom like wanamlite, which is close to stock but debloated and has all note 4 features.
3. You can root with Odin without custom recovery, but since KNOX is triggered by root, I would recommend you to flash custom recovery as well because it doesn't matter anymore.

Yes of course!
