Hi everyone,
I've just gotten the new update notification.
I've heard that there are issues with the update. Worth noting I am completely stock.
Is it worth the update or should I wait?
Anyone?
I received the OTA to 5.1 about a week ago. It was definitely worth it for me, coming from 5.0.2. stock. I was having an issue where the battery would drain quickly each day unless I rebooted right after taking it off the charger in the morning. I haven't had that problem since upgrading to 5.1. I wasn't having any other significant issues with 5.0.2 and am also not having any problems with 5.1.

Hi all,
I am new here so I hope this is the correct place for this question.
I ordered the Z1c and expect it to be delivered any moment, I already went to most threads regarding KitKat on the Z1c.
For me, battery life is the main reason why I choose this phone. It appears that updating the firmware of Z1c to the current KitKat version results in a big loss in battery life (and apparently also quite some bugs). Of course, I would like to update but I am in doubt if the advantages of going to Kitkat makes up for the loss in battery life.
In that respect, I have the following questions:
- How bigg is the loss in battery life if I update to the current version (757 in Begium I think)?
- Which official build number of Kitkat has the best battery life?
- What are the main advantages of updating to KitKat?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Dries
I'm on 757 firmware and I don't notice any big difference between KitKat and JellyBean battery life. I also didn't notice any bugs yet. However I am not constantly using my phone and usually get a bit more than 2 days of battery life.
I agree. There is a slight difference between 4.3 and 4.4, but it's not big. Most people won't even notice that. So I wouldn't worry about updating to 4.4.
Hi Zxz, Martan,
All questions evaporated with arrival of the phone: it came with KitKat 4.4.2 build 757 installed on it so keeping Jelly Bean is simply not an option.
Battery life seems very acceptable: I used about 25% toying with the phone, checking e-mail and downloading updates for some apps using WiFi yesterday evening. Over night, it lost only a few % in Stamina-mode including waking me up twice.
All in all, very happy with this phone. Runs very smooth and up to now, no bugs encountered. I expect to get several days out of it on a single charge and that was the aim from the start.
thanks for your replies

Does anyone know anything about the Lollipop update for the Verizon Note 4? Every other device is getting it, and every other carrier is rolling out thd lollipop update for the Note 4.... WTF Verizon?????
It is very typical of Verizon to be the last one to release an android update
No one knows anything, its all a guess

Its on its way. http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-note-4-4-2-15.pdf?null
If you want ROOT, you may want to hold off on the update until we can verify that we can downgrade to KK with no problems. A KK Root method is in the works and could be released this weekend.
I am downloading the first of 2 updates here in Des Moines Iowa now.
I got the notice also
I am also just installing update one of two. If interested, I will post results in a bit
All done and updated... [emoji4] [emoji4] [emoji4]
If root comes to this, cool.. But if not, oh well. I have lived without it this long on this device. And so far(typically it is choppy after an update), is running smooth on mine at least..
done
It says now version 5.0.1, which we were expecting but it really heated up my phone and sucked up half the battery so make sure you connect your charger and it is over 1gig so connect to wifi for the update. Im still playing around with it so I havent much to say about it yet...
This could just be me, but I was running the stock and I just updated to 5.0.1, and not my phone keeps crashing after 1-2 minutes. Even when I'm doing nothing it keeps crashing. Is anyone else having this issue??
Update is garbage.
Not a fan of Lollipop with Touchwizz.
good here!
Ive been playing around with it and it has been great since the update. no crashes or anything...
Loaded the update an hour or so ago and smooth sailing thus far. The handset was very warm during the update but cooled back to normal afterwards.
Liking the animation changes thus far. just making sure there have been no battery draining gremlins introduced.
Note 4 root
There is a possiblity of the retail note 4 root this weekend?
Am I the only one who still hasn't gotten Lollipop OTA on the T700? I thought this started rolling out a month ago.
No you are no where close to the only one. The roll out has been incredibly slow.
That was one of the factors in me deciding to flash the TWDetox rom and honestly I couldn't be happier with that decision
Hi, today I got Smartwatch 3 for my birthday and I already updated it to 5.0.2......My question is if I should update to 5.1.1 because I've heard about battery issues......does it really happen to every smartwatch?

Yes
no, doesn't happen to every watch, (I didn't have those issues since day 1 of owning mine)
If you do update, there is a newer build out anyway for 5.1.1 which to some people apparently "fixed" the issue and in my case, I just got even better battery life out of it and it adds a couple of other features

Thanks, I upgraded two days ago and no battery problem thus far.....maybe because I don't have wifi enabled
So, I suppose that many of you have heard of the infamous Nougat battery drain. I've been experiencing it ever since I upgraded to 7.0. It's not necessarily a big problem, since I can still get through a normal, full day of use.. but it's still very noticeable. From the more than 4 hours of SoT I used to get, I can now barely get more than two, normally even lower. I have no idea what the problem is, I've tried everything. And since I'm going to go on a trip soon, I'm really going to need a good battery life.
So, I was thinking about rolling it back to Marshmallow. I'm S-OFF, so I'll use a RUU.zip. Before doing that however, I would love to hear some opinions. Has anyone else given up on Nougat? Anyone who experienced the Nougat drain? And is the battery indeed better on MM?
We're on an outdated security patch anyway, July 2017 and we're already in October, but would returning to whatever security patch the last MM version had be dangerous?
Thanks in advance.

I have been on U.S Unlocked nougat since the initial release and I have no such problem. Battery ain't what it used to be but I always hit 4 hours sot.
You could try flashing a Sense-based custom rom like Viper or Leedroid first to see if there is an improvement.
Regarding security, based on all the people *****ing in the Updates thread I'm pretty sure your phone will immediately contract the Ebola virus after downgrading to MM. Either that, or you're probably fine with the "old" security patches on MM. Your choice to try though.
S-OFF, flash MM RUU
