Same here. After a reboot it's working like a charm but few hours later is not so constant anymore. I use default remote software and smart remote, with both have the same problem.

Note 3 remote is working fine, maybe it's bug in Note 4 that will be solved soon.

After working properly that I made reset and- suddenly doesn't accept the country selection

Having the same issue here, never had an issue with my S4 but with this one is just a pain to be aiming the TV for a while to make it work.

Same issue here with the 910C, even after flashing new firmware NK5 issue persists.

No problems here with Note 3

No problem here.

Same problem here. Any solution?

Bumb!

Same problem here, anyone found a fix. Running 4.4.4

Not sure how this will work for others, but I've been using TouchSquid app from the Play Store now for a few months and it always works. You have to select 'Alternate IR Driver' in the settings. It's not the prettiest interface, but it works for me , I can control two TVs, my Squeezebox, Hi-Fi, DVD Recorder and even an IR light switch. I tried several other apps but couldn't get them to work consistently. Maybe I just got lucky :/
Here's the one I use:
Touch Squid: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.home.samsung
And here's the free trial:

episodes of screen unresponsiveness after updating to kitkat

Hi everyone
So I update my N9005 to the official polish kitkat firmware and I've been experiencing episodes of screen unresponsiveness very often. Anybody else has this problem? Anybody managed to fix it?
P.S I'm aware of the counterfeit/unoriginal s-view flip covers issue which I'm having as well but the thread isn't about it.
Hope someone has a solution.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.
Try using the original non flip case and see if you still have the issue.

I have never had a s-view flip case on mine. I use holster iblason case that has no interaction with the screen.
This only started for me once I upgraded to kitkat.

If your phone isnt hanging up and freezing, that gives me hope. I'll gsm reset, clear the cache and then flash.

I just cleared the cache, factory wiped, and installed the Russian update N900XXUDNC4 and so far, the phone is a lot smoother. No hangups in the browser yet, but time will tell lol.
It is annoying setting up the phone like new lol. I'll update the post as to if I have moments of freezing or the screen becoming unresponsive.

Had this problem too, as well as lots of lag. Reflashed and did a factory reset. Took care of both.

Battery life is looking good. Power Saving off, bluetooth on and connected to my smart watch.
I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.
Edit: 4/20/2014 same charge 70% 1 day 6 hours bluetooth, wifi, gps, and 1 Gmail account in sync.

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.
I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol

I just experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using the google search box within the chrome app running DNC4 :/ Going to try the latest Russian KitKat

Camera failed on SM-G900H

Hi, yesterday my camera stopped working. I've seen this googling it, but I always come up with Verizon phones. Mine is factory unlocked. Also all information I came up with, was from April. Any ideas on these? I'm not home, I'm on vacations and these really sucks as I can not take anymore pictures.

N910C IR Blaster issue

Hi to all of you.
I have a Galaxy Note 4 N910C the octacore version. The phone is unlocked and unbranded from the box.
Recently I updated to ANK5 firmware. I updated with odin, using the firmware for the original phone product code(ROM).
I always like to make my updates clean so I performed a Wipe Cache and a factory reset after.
The firmware is ok but it seems that is not solving the IR Blaster issue, meaning that after a while the remote control is not working anymore. This can be fixed with a restart so I assume this is a software and not a hardware problem.
Please confirm, those with N910C version if you can reproduce this and eventually if you found a solution to fix this.
Thanks.
N910c my country code is ROM...baseband NK5 . I use it regularly on a sony and two samsung tv's as well for two air-conditioning units. Sounds a little strange as I am not having problems whatsoever...

I'm having problems to. Sometimes I need to press a lot of times the command to make it work. It's clear that is a software issue. Hardware problems looks different than that.

Don't restart the device or clean your memory for 1-2 days and tell me after if it still works.
