Hey I have some issues with my camera. It rattles when I shake the phone side to side. Also some times the pics gets heavy lens flares. See pics below. It is resolved when I shake or squeeze the lens.

What do you think?
[Galaxy S6 General] remosam:
It's a common issue on S6, to solve it you will need to replace camera
[Galaxy S6 General] karanits:
Ohk .. I am out of warrenty. So how much did I cost for you guys?
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Just wanted to known if the front camera of the s6 and s6 edge is different or not. The there day I was comparing with my friends s6 edge and my phone's front camera was terrible. Will post some pics tomorrow. If you guys can post some pics it will be helpful.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
It's same. There are two versions of lenses one with Sony and one is Samsung, but no difference in quality.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I am talking about the front camera not the rear camera. I
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
My frnds have s6-s6edge and I have note 5, all front camera quality is same.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Then there is something wrong with the front camera. I found it to be OK when I was using it but after checking the s6 edge I was shocked. Anyways thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
U can post few images here so we can atleast know
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B0eF-YZwEpo6WWQzek16dVBHNXM

Check this. We were clicking pics in the evening only with low light. S6 edge was crystal clear where as mine seemed faded. Will update the gallery with evening pics.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
What do you think ? Have uploaded 2 more pics.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
They seem alright for front camera, can't see much difference.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Will see when I meet him next then will upload comparison pics.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] silent_freak:
LOL! Dude, it's due to just smudges on the rear camera glass (courtesy: sweaty finger oil) due to which you are experiencing the lens flare thing. Just make it a habit of wiping off the lens glass with your tee or handkerchief before you click a shot and it will be crystal clear. :good: :cool:

Try it.

Why is Samsung pay not available on the s6 and s6 edge model?

Absolutely no way to reset that.

Anyone got it ?

No mate![emoji17]
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
Not YET!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
it's fake.. read the cmnts on the link

Thinking about that myself. I think it should be in this Nougat update. Though I've lost it as I'm rooted. Wish there was a way to undo this.
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
It's extremely frustrating that the g920i has not yet been updated to nougat officially. That means most Asian countries and Australia are being neglected and are last on the update list. And we won't be getting any 'newer version' of the nougat update because of the delay.

Samsung and its hundreds of different versions for the same phone...
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Last time, we got marshmallow update after a couple of days of galaxy s7 indian launch. This will happen in s8 case too.. we ll get only after s8 indian launch.. Mark my words!!
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Guys it will take time , like a month from now !! (all will happy if we get soon, but as per the trand we have to wait)

just calm down and wait for nougat ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] rahuldixit2010:
http://www.mobipicker.com/android-7-rolling-out-to-samsung-galaxy-s6/ it is today's news. I think this is also fake.
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
anyone using custom roms like lineage or AOSP ?

are there sim issues or any other?
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
how is that note 5 is getting update before us?
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
as S6 getting update before s7 :p

I mean they pushing update to all , but some countries getting it first and some have to wait till they get their turn.
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
I had a live chat with a Samsung executive, he said Nougat is not released for note 5 also ?, I wonder why they so ill-informed? Don't you think they only copy paste some predetermined lines. I have seen them saying exactly same lines even though they were all different person
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
They are totally blank about software update , at the time of MM update when update already seeding on OTA, on live chat they replied me that update will be available soon :p
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Things appear good now as even Edge+ start getting it today,hopefully S6 and S6 edge will get before this Friday unless Samsung has some other plan to spoil our party ?
[Galaxy S6 General] farookh:
My Note 5 got the update today
[Galaxy S6 General] farookh:
yeap Indian Firmware Note 5
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
really this dense? weren't we supposed to get the update before note 5.. i think so that's the norm in most countries :p nougat was released first for s6
[Galaxy S6 General] Denhot:
Not just that the Note 5 also got Screen resolution change :/, just saw it on my dad's. It seems the estimate for India of 45 days from first day of release on nougat thread is gonna become true.

Nougat is so smooth to use though. So many news transitions.
[Galaxy S6 General] sudarshan9096699669:
no official update India
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
They never have information regarding software update. even after you received update they will give same reply.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
It's starting to seem unlikely that we will get an update.
[Galaxy S6 General] moneyrockers:
I got one big update on Smartswitch app for 1.4 gb, I thought it was Android N, but after update the firmware is still in Andro M. Disappointed.
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Expected Next week in India

Thanks for being with Samsung and for sharing your concern. We would like to inform you that Samsung India already planned nougat for S6 and s6 edge and we are expecting that S6 and S6 edge will get nougat update in next week in India.

Samsung India replied to my post in their community members app. So let's hope for the best
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Here is the ss
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
can you post screenshot ?

they told me on live chat that they have no information about it.

No objection but just curious !
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
Let's hope it'll be a stable build without any annoying bugs after such a long time of waiting.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Ah thanks a lot bro

Finger crossed for best :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Hope it's not a fail and comes with latest security patch because long waits with samsung usually equal to failure.

So they're finally releasing it around the time S8 becomes available like many of us predicted!

I can conclude that they delayed the g920i update on purpose & that the update will come with March security patch & not April & we'll also see the build date when the update arrives to see how much they manipulated​ their users!
[Galaxy S6 General] sbnaul:
920I... update... 1235mbs...http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58f71ca59e92e/Screenshot_20170419-134146.png?
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
I don't see the update yet..
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Fake? :rolleyes:

no update here !
[Galaxy S6 General] yeah!!:
I got the update. Downloading now. I guess you will get it soon as software updates are staged.
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
Somehow its not showing up for me, the update :(
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Nothing here as well

Please let all know in which states you getting updates

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] tchsvy:
It didn't show up for me as well.. I guess we will have to wait a day or two more.
[Galaxy S6 General] sbnaul:
It is Android N... http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58f72f6990d27/Screenshot_20170419-150437.jpg?

[Galaxy S6 General] skssha:
In Tamilnadu got the update. Installed but huge lag is there in system.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Nothing in Gujarat :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Some are definitely getting it with INU CSC, so far nothing for INS model. Wait for 24 hour and let's see
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
i think right , INS here as well with long waiting
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Soon INS will get too but if anyone is desperate then try this

those users who has not received the nougat on their s6/edge bcoz they has ins basebands

i have a way by which u will get the update

NOTE:IT WILL FACTORY RESET UR PHONE

in dialer dial *#272*imei number#

and choose inu

thats it
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
INU confirmed getting update in Bangalore (Karnataka).

Update size is about 1235.04MB

Updating SS in few min.....

Edit 1: Smart Switch also got updated, maybe for Nougat update. Someone try to update from Smart Switch and see.

Edit 2: Screenshots Updated.

Edit 3: Download Complete. Installing now.....

Will it trip Knox?
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Are we getting Samsung pay with it?? Can anybody confirm??
[Galaxy S6 General] yeah!!:
Nope.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
I think thats the end of life for S6.. These money minded bastards won't even give the feature, which they previously advertised for us.. I hope Samsung mobile division ll die for good..
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
is volte missing???????????? can someone confirm plz...

Edit: ah due to weak signal it was not showing but now i can see it, calls working fine through Jio sim :)
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Thanks for detailed ss

Seems INS have to wait more

Completely agree

2 years and you have to buy new phone to get latest features
[Galaxy S6 General] yeah!!:
Even I wonder why they didn't include Samsung pay. S7 got it with naugat update here and s6 is no different from s7.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Let's all send a mass mail to samsung.. If you go to samsung pay India page.. You ll find an option to contact them.. Let's send a threatening mail to sue these bastards in court.. I got my Samsung TV replaced by this process.. A mail by big numbers should work.. else these idiots will dump us..
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Knox is fine, some users have done this way to get OTA yesterday only, but i will wait till today for INS
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
What does these baseband inu and ins means actually?? Any network configuration?? Even if it is so, whats the point to have to two different ones, when our country does not have carrier locked mobiles or so??
[Galaxy S6 General] yeah!!:
Phone is only cable charging after the update, not fast charging and I can't find fast charging toggle in setting. Did they remove fast charging? Someone please confirm.
[Galaxy S6 General] npzinho:
I did with INS rom.

How can I root?

Because installing TWRP I got bootloop.
[Galaxy S6 General] yeah!!:
Got it. It's in device maintenance > battery > advance setting. I had to toggle it off and then on for fast charging to work.
[Galaxy S6 General] vorakeyur:
Please check below link. Do we need to separately install Samsung pay. It is listed on Samsung

site for Samsung pay supporh

www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00045945/
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Samsung pay is more than just an app. There are few underlying frameworks needed to run the samaung pay app.. Unfortunately, u need an update from Samsung to enable payment.
[Galaxy S6 General] vorakeyur:
Then they will update it right? As on Samsung site it says s6 will be supported.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Ya. U are right. Samsung has to send an update. But Samsung is yet to do that. With nougat being the last big update for S6, I doubt Samsung will do that in future. Considering that their only focus will be on new devices, I believe they want us to purchase new ones to use Samsung pay. If that's not the case, we would have got Samsung pay earlier or atleast with nougat.. Typical corporate *****es..
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Most logical explanation is

INU - India unlocked, meaning you can use any international SIM card into it

INS - India Service, only indian SIM cards are supported
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Good explanation. But does that make sense for Samsung to that? Not atleast wen you can run the code manually to alter by yourself without much difficulty.. But pretty lame idea to split devices..
[Galaxy S6 General] vorakeyur:
Did 920F which got updated earlier had Samsung pay? Or is it ignored for all Galaxy s6 India or global?

It's pretty lame. I thought there is no reason to buy another phone after this update as it would be good enough for another year.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Indian devices are ignored.. S6 and S6 edge.. The problem is they introduced Samsung pay very late in India and S6 was about to reach the 2 year period by the time of launch..
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
I did not root just for the sake of Samsung Pay...

Lo and behold, these duffers choose to ignore such an important feature.

Still waiting for INS....
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Same reason in my case too and hundreds of others.. I flashed 100+ roms in my previous devices, but I'm yet to root this one, just for Samsung pay..

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:00 AM ----------

Just spoke with their customer care addressing Samsung pay and he confirmed that Indian S6 lacks MST chips inside... End of the road..
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
From what I have read over the net, only Samsung and their devices are using MST. Android pay and Apple Pay are using NFC.

Samsung should provide with NFC based PAY feature.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
2 days after INU and still nothing for INS :(

now this is really not done!!
[Galaxy S6 General] brujo5:
Anyone can Share the new bootloader/módem for g920i?
[Galaxy S6 General] Physicsboy:
Everyone changing their CSC from INS to INU

Samsung is really stupid, 2 day passed but still they haven't released OTA for INS although i have checked all the past software updates of INU and INS, they are exactly same in firmware number, PDA, build number etc. Most of the users are changing their INS to INU by a very easy method to get OTA. I will also do the same tonight if INS OTA wouldn't come today.

Samsung is really crap, can't trust them

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Dial *#272*IMEI number#...from your phone

It will show some options like INU,NPK,etc, choose INU and hit install. Your phone will automatically reset and start again. Then go to software update, check for OTA you will immediately get it, now download and install and enjoy

A very easy process that doesn't void warranty or tripped knox.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
To add a point.. your mobile will be factory reset..
[Galaxy S6 General] tchsvy:
Yeah, I changed to INU yesterday and got the OTA almost immediately. As everybody is reporting, volume is way down compared to Marshmallow.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Any way to change without data wipe??
[Galaxy S6 General] tchsvy:
I don't think that will be possible.. other way as I read on this thread is using Odin, but I haven't done that, so I am not the right guy to speak about it.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
Is there a possibility that INS wouldn't receive the update?
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
does INU varient support volte ? will flashing it through odin create any problem?
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
buddy inu & ins variants are both exactly same .... there is nothing different ... yes it has all the options as well as volte also

inu :- is the first batch that has been manufatured outside india

ins :- its the another batch which has been manufactured in india ...

there is nothing different bro

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

in the morning i flashed the inu rom on my ins variant through odin its buttery smooth
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
is everything deleted after flashing through odin ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
nope bro .. every thing is there ... data will not be wiped buddy .. so no worry
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
look at there
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
look at here
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
just flashed it... thanks mate.. no problem at all
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
great bro :)
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
Can anyone please share the steps to flash through odin, without loosing data?

Also from where to download the firmware file?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
First u need to download the firmware for samsung s6 for that u need to make an account on sammobile .com after that download the rom

here is the link :- https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/128764/G920IDVU3FQD1_G920IODD3FQC2_INU/

2 :- download odin its below the rom download page

3 :- extract the rom

hope it helps
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Bro.. Are yo sure that there won't by any data wipe if I flash INU ROM over INS variant?? I have over 40GB data in mobile. Can't afford to loose them, in case of data wipe.. Taking a backup of 40GB only stops me flashing the ROM.. flash confirm..
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
okk so u have 64 gb varaint ...m 100 % sure bro .... i just today flashed it on my s6 ... the data is all safe ... make sure atleast u have 4-5 gb internal memory free on phone to avoid any error ...
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
*Pls confirm..

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Ya.. Mine is 64gb version.. Thanks for inputs bro.. Will proceed further...
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
okk ... :)
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
What about rooting Nougat? Is it working well?

Since Samsung Pay has been aborted for our model, is time to root?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Sd card won't be wiped. But things like contacts, sms, app & game data are supposed to be wiped when using Odin. Can u confirm that these were not wiped please?
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
No wipe dude.. Just the OS upgrade.. I did myself yesterday.. Just make sure the setting me mentioned in Odin are correct..
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
Mind explaining how you got an SDcard in the S6 when it does not even have an SDCard slot?
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Internal storage can sometimes be referred as sdcard since it's understood the device doesn't have a microsd slot!
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
Internal storage is very different from an SDCard. But I see your point.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
The partition is still called SDCard.

Install a file manager like ES File Manager and go to your files, you'll see the folder is listed as SDCard.
[Galaxy S6 General] brujo5:
Modem/bootloader flaseable?
[Galaxy S6 General] Tarun Arora:
its in every android phn may be ... if the phn supports the memory card than it will be shown as sd card 1 i thought
[Galaxy S6 General] RishabhGupta_27:
Maybe, but I have an S6 edge with INS & have travelled abroad & used international sim on it. I may be missing out something & you may be correct.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
Go to the file manager and view the top of the screen.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Just a tip: Install Galaxy S8 TouchWiz launcher in galaxy S6 nougat ROM.. The new launcher has many new features inbuilt.. U won't regret..
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
What's the languages supported in the India S6/S6e Nougat ROM? Thinking of flashing my Singapore S6e, I am sick of Samsung Singapore slowness in pushing out software update. No more Samsung phones for me anymore!
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Check the pic bro!
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
That's cool, thanks for the heads-up!

Did you try Bixsby?
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
I felt it's not worth a try bro, atleast at this stage of Bixby with very few functions.. so, didn't install..
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Hi there, erm your screenshot cannot be view, its too blur, nevertheless is there "Chinese" as the language?
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
In language.. something is written in Chinese form.. I think that s Chinese..
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Oh! Just wondering why the screenshot so blur? Cannot even see properly, it's pixelated.

Idk, flash first talk later! Haha, worst case is flash back to v6.0.1 Singapore Rom, someone is using the phone in Chinese therefore its important.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_CpWAw3a9fpUkY5YUdDYUljVEU/view?usp=drivesdk try this..
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Flash and thanks god there is Chinese, the S6e seem like having a new life. So smooth! I think it's the last update for S6 series, for sure it won't see Android O. At least is Android 7.0, Samsung software updates sucks for sure due to the slowness by region.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
Bixby is quite similar to Google Now, just without voice control.

The problem is, it keeps force closing - that's why I have uninstalled it, otherwise it is quite nice and goes perfectly with the S8 launcher.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
---------- Post added at 07:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

So I changed the CSC from INS to INU on my S6 using the "*#272*imei number#" method and now it's simply stuck on the Samsung Logo. Anybody has any ideas why it won't boot up?

Edit:Problem solved itself after about 20 minutes of waiting.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
So rather than admit you're wrong, you'd rather go via the long path to bring up a screenshot to show something different? Nice. Ignore list for you, not worth the time trying to assist.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Is it about your time with Bixby??
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Note 5 got updated s6 edge+ also got updated, dont know why s6 and edge still in waiting list !!!
[Galaxy S6 General] skssha:
S6 already updated last week itself.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:

http://samsung-updates.com/region/?region=INs showing 7.0 though

anyone installed on INS ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Denhot:
Skeptical about installing it. Has anyone else tried?

[Galaxy S6 General] Denhot:
Just done with the install it's nougat for INS :)

the firmware number on web checks out too.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
