Four applications is nothing, dude.

Attempting to relocate is almost always going to put you at a disadvantage over local candidates, but it's possible and you just gotta keep trying. I think employers would at least understand the desire to move given the COL/inconvenience of Hawaii, though they'd also know you'd be expensive to fly out for an interview.

You probably should apply locally too to see if you can get any hits at all, your location might not be the problem. Plus maybe wherever you'd apply to would have multiple locations and you could ask if they'd be willing to hire or transfer you into a mainland location.
