This has been pretty much been the most frustrating update process of my 4 Android devices that I have owned.
Hoping some of the sharp people here can help me out.
Buttons Not Working - About every third or fourth time I wake my phone my physical buttons do not work. I have to put the phone to sleep and re-wake (sometimes multiple times) to get my phone's buttons to work.
Excessive Battery Drain - Yikes!!! I have uninstalled all my apps, and it is still occurring. Any other ideas to figure out what might be causing this?
Constant 3G data movement - When wi-fi is off, my phone is constantly pushing 3g data up and down....non-stop!
Excessive Phone Heat - My phone is running like a furnace.
Now, I think the last three are probably connected in some way.

That is not ICS you have something running in the background. That would cause all of that. Get a battery monitor app and see what is running
I'm having the same problems and even turning everything off still having the issues

I am glad I am not the only ones with these problems.
It has to be a ICS function that is causing the excessive battery drain.
I currently have no non stock apps installed.
I have noticed that the battery ran from 100% to 25% but battery drain had no slowed considerably....maybe faulty logic in how they are calculating percentages?
The one I would really like to solve is the buttons not working, as there will be lots of battery related threads as more and more people upgrade.

The malfunctioning buttons have been happening to some of us on every ROM, whether it's Gingerbread or ICS. It happens to mine on stock GB or stock I'VE.
Just so you know, you can tap the volume Roche to wake up the buttons. You don't have to cycle the screen. Tap the volume button, wait second or so and you will see the capacitive buttons blink once... That means they've reset. Sometimes you have to do it twice.

Same issue here with the retarded battery life, stock rooted FF18. It's pathetic. Constant battery drain while "sleeping", with wifi on or off. Guess i'll have to try a different ROM.

I tried this yesterday when I was getting terrible battery life. I went from fully charged to dead in 3 hours flat.
I ended up doing a factory reset with sfhub's one-click and am slowly testing and restoring apps to see what's acting as a vampire.

You should try it again if it didn't work!
Not everyone's issue is going to be caused by the same thing. What may work for you may not always work for everyone else. It may be an app or ICS in general causing the issue.

So for some odd reason in getting HORRIBLE battery drain. Literally lost 40% in 35minutes. It happened out of nowhere and idk what to do. I disabled GPS, deleted all the apps that I recently downloaded. It's still happening and was wondering if anyone else is suffering from this.

I get this, i'm still trying to see what's causing it but i've found 2 things:
- It stops when i'm not connected to wifi
- Its a known kitkat bug
Hope somebody can tell me what os process is calling this process but you'll get a lot of discussions if you google sensors.qcom drain.

Yeah I did Google and did see quite a few discussions on it. I have been through many phones and this is the first one that has a major flaw in regards to wake lock. I reduced the wake locks by disabling Google Now but I use that daily and can't love without it. I don't know what to do at this point.

So I flashed the first version of CM12 and was very pleased with the speed and such but there were quite a few bugs. One thing I experienced was the phone app hung on me a couple times and I couldn't get back to the phone app after multi-tasking. Another thing was the status bar pull down was very buggy and sometimes wouldn't pull down, go back up, let me select a notification, etc.
Has anyone used the newer ones to know that these items are fixed or no longer an issue?
Similar problems here. Waiting on upcoming builds to see if they're addressed.

Nice! Let me know if it's daily driver status yet, I use my phone for work and take phone calls all day long and can't be restarting my phone after every call, lol.
Its my daily driver
but anyone else notice updates need to be flashed manually in TWRP?
Yes same here don't know what is going on
With CM 12, is there any way WiFi Calling/Texting can be implemented? I know it's a T-Mibile feature, but knowing it's a T-Mobile issued G3, I believe it's more possible than other carrier CM 12.
1/28 seems to have broken tap to sleep. Tap to wake still works
Edit....
Fixed in 1/29 [emoji4]

Not until the nexus 6 gets the update for the WiFi calling,would it be remotely close for us. And even then there is no guarantee that it would work on this phone.

Well I flashed the 2/03 nightly and it's still having the same issues...
It runs flawlessly until I make a phone call, then the status bar gets stuck pulled down. I can't get back to the call to end it, select anything from the status bar or slide the status bar up. Sometimes it fixes itself but mostly I have to restart the phone. I flashed Illusion for now and other than the screen not turning on when I pull the phone away from my face while on a call it's working really well.
I'll try CM in another week or so.
Hey guys, I got the official CM 12 upto date rom on my G3. My question is that is there any way I can get the tap to wake the display back on my G3.

Just go in the settings, it's in there in all CM ROMs.
It's under Display or just use the settings search bar and search the word TAP.
Thanks Jason, its working flawlessly.

The recent apps menu did look like it opened faster but everything else seemed very laggy and jittery. Maybe it's just the video, but my Note 4 is a lot smoother than that one.

The kernel seems to indicate that it's a rooted version and maybe it's debloated and that's why it's snappier..

Mine isn't snappier. At all. Maybe on the kernel, but even that wouldn't explain the absolute zero lag on recent apps. My buddy's rooted Note 3 is nowhere near that. Even it has a "little" lag.

My Wife and I got a pair of Note 4's PRIOR to Lollipop. We both upgraded to 5.0.1
She is of the "I dont like messing with it" I have downloaded most every launcher, got involved in themes etc.
Other than disable the bloatware (fitness, milk, ant, etc.) I want to say her phone is so blazing fast I cannot even comprehend why it is so fast compared to mine. I have factory reset mine ( hers no) but that thing is what all phones should be like..
Q: On an Android system does it have something like a defrag like computers? Why would hers be faster than mine? Ideas?

I'm pretty sure the reason is becuase you have a lot more apps on your phone, starting with a different launcher.
I don't know why Android does this (or is it the app developers causing it?)...but a lot of apps load into memory whether you run them or not. Less memory available = slower performance. This is why I was disappointed when the Note 4 came with 3GB instead of 4GB of memory.
I have a lot of apps on my phone, and especially if multitasking it is quite laggy (for example, when I go for a walk, I'll be playing music through BT, and have MyTracks running to track the walk. If a text comes in, it has a very long lag before it opens).
This is the reason I'll likely be replacing my Note 4 with something else soon.
Well, I so have a TMobile N4 on the way. Plan to root, and install a KK ROM. Been researching on the TM Dev site, and there appears to be a great one there. Everybody touts the speed and battery performance.
That being said, the topic of 5.1.1 came up. One of the folks there had just got the T3 version of the N4 wiht 5.1.1, and he said as far as he is concerned, no ROM necessary. Says it flies. No comparison.
So, hopefully, 5.1.1 will be here on AT&T before long.
I switched back to stock launcher, removed a few weather widgets and a few less used apps and now mine flies.
I guess we have been lucky, we have never experienced any battery issues or any other things spoken of during this 5.0.1 update.
The only issue we have ever had is the issue with wifi vs 4G LTE. When you reach an area with wifi it sees the signal, wont connect due to not having the pw and the phone becomes useless unless wifi is turned off or you leave the area. Still waiting on speedify to come through with its beta.
D
I decided to try the stock launcher after reading your post. It is hard to believe how much faster it is. I miss the customization but love the extra performance. Hope I can figure out why the stock launcher keeps crashing once in a while.

After reading this, I thought I'd give it a try. Jeebus! Okay, so maybe the problem is more Nova Launcher than my actual Note. The downside is, I love Nova! I use the gestures and such constantly. And my phone stays in landscape position all day. Has anyone had success with other launchers?

It's weird how different these phones are. I've been using nova prime for about 2 months now. Went back and used stock Touchwiz launcher for a day or so and was thinking how jittery it was compared to nova. Went back to nova.

Yeah, after an hour of using TW, the recent apps lag was back. Switched back to Nova, no lag. For a few minutes. So much for that. Does anyone know exactly what the nature of the "memory leak" in 5.0.1 is? This must be related somehow.

Just curious, for both of you. I do not have my power saving mode turned on. There is a tab there that restricts cpu performance if its on.
JFYI...This past week I got a T-Mobile Note 4. Rooted it, installed a 5.1.1. ROM, and it is much faster. I too use Nova Launcher.
Battery is great too. I typically do an overnight / screen off test to get a general feeling of battery performance.
My AT&T Note 4 overnight with power saving off, wifi on, BT on, used just under 5% / hour. The TM one with same conditions lastnight used .73% / Hour. Yes...less than 1% / hour. I'm seeing quotes over in the ROM thread of 5-6 hours SOT.
I was ready to ditch the Note 4. Not now.

Yea man pretty sure apps being updated don't mean much it's tough to say when we will have on VZW &AT&T models 5.1.1 I hope soon.
I read that the 4.4.4 update had a problem with the GPS locking, well wouldn't lock at all. I rooted and I'm running a custom ROM on 5.1.1 and oddly enough my GPS still isn't locking...any solution? I'm researching now
Never heard that. I'm on 4.4.4, and my GPS locks within 3-4 seconds.
That's why I don't flash ROMs. ALWAYS messes up my GPS.

When did it start? Once you updated it to 4.4.4? Before that? You can't tell the difference between you're GPS pure 4.4.4 and post 4.4.4?
All I know is, I'm on 4.4.4, and my GPS locks in insanely fast. Flashed a certain rom, and took longer to lock on, and Google maps would be inverted, and just looked outdated and strange for some reason. I rely on GPS too much to mess up a great thing.

This phone was given to me as a backup and when I updated to 4.4.4 that's when it didn't lock anymore. That's why I rooted and put a custom ROM on it and I still don't have working GPS

i tried faster BPS it still says searching, i googled it and some say it's a hardware issue possibly. there has to be something i can flash or a ROM that can fix this. ive flashed 2 different ROMs and it still isn't working.....man this is the pitts!!
Not if it's a hardware issue, which it could be. Only other thing you can try is to open the device and make sure there are no loose connections, or tighten some screws
Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk
Sometimes you have to let the device sit outside for a half hour and let it find it's own lock.
Then once it figures out what hemisphere it's in, it is faster the next time.
Sometimes that works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's worth a shot though.
