1.It will Trip knox and you will loose warranty.

2. Since knox is the security feature , tripping the same means no samsung pay (which any way is useless for india at the moment)

3. Will get OTA's but you might not be able to install it.

4. Since this has a custom kernel with permissive mode.. it has been reported that private mode will not work..
[Galaxy S6 General] diego9016:
Nothing really important. The warranty thing is already confirmed?
[Galaxy S6 General] safepacket:
Oh yeah warranty will be void if you root with this method. There was another root method by pingpong which used to work on older firmwares but will not work any more..
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Tried unikernel on my G920I running stock 5.1.1.

The phone keeps rebooting the Galaxy S6 splash screen... Anyone had any luck rooting the indian device?
[Galaxy S6 General] tntgdh:
I just installed it in the Brazilian 920i. Works perfectly... Even the 4g.

Hey guys i just tried snap câmera, but the RAM pictures get a big RAW writen over them. How can i remove it?
[Galaxy S6 General] dbarrett480:
I had this issue. Had to wipe data and cache and then it would boot
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
Where is the raw mode?
[Galaxy S6 General] SaffatBokul:
I know there is no way back after tripping the knox. But would i be able to us private mode if i flash everything stock in the future ?
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Thanks will try this in a few hours... Fingers crossed it works !!!

How good is it to update to 5.1.1 , I'm still on AOE3 as i get good battery backup and satisfied with the performance , etc , life , etc ..

For you guys , did the upgrade increased battery backup on your same pattern usage ?

I would not upgrade if theres no benefit in it .
[Galaxy S6 General] safepacket:
Yes if you go stock it will work

Hey guys, Rooted my G920I using Unikernel.... read about it here : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/success-root-g920i-5-1-1-t3155089

Also please note, the Knox counter DOES NOT reset even if you flash back the stock rom..... it's a one way street for the moment :)
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
phone fell from around 3 feet screen facing on the floor tiles. the digitiser|touch panel broke :( the LCD glass is perfectly fine. i was using a tempered glass but i think the weight of the phone caused the damage to the digitiser and not the lcd. weird. anyways has anyone recently got his screen fixed ? would be glad if someone can give me a quote.

sometime back i did ask and the lady was not sure about the price but told me complete display will cost around 9k. i do have gizmo help insurance , would claim it. i just hope the procedure is not time taking. does anyone has any experience claiming insurance ?

Hi All,

I just bought Galaxy s6 32gb white..

After inserting sim in it first time, I didn't get any registration message from samsung..

Is it ok?

Any one receives ?

Thanks in advance..
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
I remember getting it only with 5.1.1. Don't remember getting it with the stock 5.0 rom when I bought it on launch day nor with the 5.0.2 rom that came the same night. Didn't matter in my opinion. Everything was just fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] B$!ngh:
Just updated to 5.1.1 this morning and I am seriosly getting huge improvement in battery.

Used to get 4.5 to max 5 hrs sot but after update it almost doubled with same settings and usage.

Today might be an exception though but if it goes like this I am more than happy with the update
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
What is your usage like anyway? This is phenomenal!
[Galaxy S6 General] B$!ngh:
Well for today I have watched a movie of 2.5 hrs, around 50 min of calling

rest is web browsing. Also have a live wallpaper running if it makes any difference.

But yeah even I am surprised today. Never got it this high for 2 months
[Galaxy S6 General] puneet724:
Ram issue is still not addressed. Battery life marginally improved
[Galaxy S6 General] smartjain:
What apps are you using. I am not even getting 2hrs SOT.
[Galaxy S6 General] B$!ngh:
Whatsapp. flipkart. gmail. snapdeal. stock browser. opera mini. Xda. Mx player. Nova launcher. Youtube. Camera. I use these frequently.

Also I see improvement in ram since the xda app used to reload everytime I switched to some other app but not reloading now

[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Setup greenify and there's practically no wakelocks during deep sleep.... Whoa... especially the facebook app which was earlier hogging the battery usage graph even when not running (due to the katana service i guess) and triggering wakelocks..... Guys give greenify a go.
[Galaxy S6 General] skssha:
Guys I am having a problem can any body suggest solution. I am having BSNL sim. To know the 3G data balance earlier used to send DATA 3G to 53733. Now I am getting reply as dial *124#. But in s6 the ussd codes are not working. If I dial *124# i am getting a error message connection problem or wrong mmi code.

skssha
[Galaxy S6 General] nishadh:
With 5.1.1 has anyone tried flashing twrp with odin and then flashing supersu for root?? Does that even not work??
[Galaxy S6 General] puneet724:
Anyone on custom rom.. or tried xtrestolite rom to be precise :)
[Galaxy S6 General] iekansh:
Try with *112#
[Galaxy S6 General] skssha:
USSD codes are not at all working in S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Got the screen replaced from samsung for 11000 rupees/ 170$ / 155 euros.
[Galaxy S6 General] B$!ngh:
Oh man Now I need to be more careful. Cant afford to spend this much money.

How long did it take though? And did they assemble it back properly?
[Galaxy S6 General] mathrania:
You said you have insurance....
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
They took 2 days to replace the screen. And yes the phone is back to it's original condition. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] criszz:
how much is that in euro's? or dollars?
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I edited my reply above. Check it. According to today's exchange rate ie 1 euro = 70 rupees(INR)

1 Us dollar = 65 rupees (INR)

Payback points

Samsung has started reimbursing payback points to prebook customers..

Points 26000 worth Rs.6500..

Check your Samsung Rewards app.
[Galaxy S6 General] jais_dude:
Me too..Happy they did..:D

Sent from my Galaxy S6 edge
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Got my 6.5k too..... This is super sweet.

Guys for those of you who have experience with payback points, can you buy something of a lesser value with these points? Say I want to buy something worth 5k but my payback points are worth 6.5k, do all the points get used up and the remainder wasted?
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Well I got the Phone itself for 40k, got Cashback long back in hard cash :p
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Maybe that's why you've had nothing but problems with it ;)

Anyways how's the battery life now?
[Galaxy S6 General] sahalmohd:
No, the balance would remain there. You can use it at different places like Bookmyshow, Jabong, eBay, mobikwik etc
[Galaxy S6 General] thegr8anand:
Today morning as i woke up my phone locked up and the screen wouldn't turn on or it would shutdown with the power button. Its like it froze with blue notification light on as it was connected to charger. Luckily quick google solution of pressing all four buttons at once worked and it restarted. Anyone else had this?

Hey guys it seems like Indian 5.1 update for s6 has not enabled raw image capture mode

If that makes u happy :p

my issue is only with battery and I still get on an avg 3 hrs SOT, but I have got used it to.
[Galaxy S6 General] smartjain:
How much did you buy the phone for?

is that payback offer still valid. ?
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
Same thing happened to me. I can see some cracks behind the glass and the display wont turn on..

Did the insurance help? I saw your updated post about it costing 11k... Was it without the insurance being factored in? I'm in mumbai so the cost might be slightly different... but I have to get it done too..

Pretty expensive..

Never had a screen crack before.. Never used a case.. that looks like it might change.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Please do post some pics and i guess it shouldn't happen with multiple devices. They use corning glass but what the hell they are using as the touch panel ? Is it really that sensitive ? I also broke my nexus 5 screen but only the glass cracked and i am using my phone for months.

Anyways i have to post the documents that i earlier uploaded to insurance guys so that they can verify. They will refund me the amount within 15 days. I can claim 2 times or 1 time total loss.

I will speed post the documents in a day
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
I'll take the pics before I give it for repair. Don't want to look at it right now... it just makes me sad..

Will post them in a day or two..

The fall was about the same.. 3 ft.. but I cant blame anyone buy myself. Face down on concrete.

I dont have insurance.. 11k is steep.. lesson learnt.. will order some ugly bulky case just to be safe.
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Greenify? I'm noticing some improvement after using it.

---------- Post added at 12:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

I got it on launch day for full mrp. And yes the offer is valid as long as you sign into the my Samsung Rewards app until 31st July.
[Galaxy S6 General] puneet724:
I want to install xtrestolite rom.

Can someone guide me the whole process.

Do i have to root 1st and install twrp then. Or install twrp first and then root.

Can some one guide me step by step process.

Help would really be appreciated.

My S6 had started draining rapidly since the week before 5.1 came out. Especially on wifi.

Just for kicks I unchecked the Sync App Data in settings>accounts>Google. And it's back to being better. Guys give this a try if anyone's facing wifi drain. This doesn't break app syncs across devices as I tested boom beach syncs app data across to ios just fine.

Prior to stumbling upon this I had already factory reset, started from scratch and also tried using just 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz mode on the phone for wifi. The wifi drain is definitely solved.

Payback Refund

Awesome News. I just got 26000 payback points from Samsung. I got an SMS saying that the points have been transferred worth rs 6500. Those who purchased/pre-booked earlier got 2500+6500 = 9000 Rs cash back (in form of payback points). I bought 64GB S6 at 55K and got 9K back. So basically I paid 46K with free screen replacement for a year. Samsung got me interested this time.
[Galaxy S6 General] PG101:
Damn, you can use "so basically" so many times that basically it has lost its basic meaning :p

[Galaxy S6 General] zeusumit:
I was using greenify before 5.1.1 and was having an acerage of 4 hrs of SOT. After 5.1.1 the SOT has gone down to 2hrs :( even greenify is not helping.

I wish using Diableservice but then cant get root access anymore without tripping knox.

Battery life sucks.
[Galaxy S6 General] iekansh:
1. I bought this device a few days back. AFAIK, this can be rooted without tripping knox. Am I right? I just gotta download the app and click to root?

2. I checked for OTA and found no update for myself. My friend and all have got OE3/OE2 update and people have 5.1.1 also. Is it normal that I did not receive any OTA?

3. How do I unroot my phone after rooting it via Ping Pong Root?

4. Which is the best build out of all to use as rooted stock ROM?

Attached about phone!

I know this is S6 forum and I have edge but I suppose both the devices are basically same?

About AppsDaily Insurance

Hey anyone here using the AppsDaily insurance ? I totally hate the app of appsdaily!

Do we need to keep it running to make claims later?

Thanks !
[Galaxy S6 General] iekansh:
Nope, uninstall it. You do not need it to claim insurance.
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
Yeah I am using too. What you mean by running? It runs like this in background.
[Galaxy S6 General] Achal1012:
Cant we uninstall it ? I mean if I uninstall it will I be able to claim insurance?
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
No you can't since it requires password to do so. I would not recommend you to uninstall. This app lock downs the phone when change sim cards.

Guys , have you seen improvement of 5.1.1. over 5.0.2 on s6 ?

I'm still on 5.0.2 as my battery is good .

Without changing anything , did your battery life increased or decreased for 5.1.1 update compared to 5.0.2 ?
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
The battery is worse, because of Play services. I just turned off the Wifi and Mobile Networks location and just using GPS, it has made a huge difference in the battery life on 5.1.1 .
[Galaxy S6 General] rajeshjsl:
Thanks , i heard samsung is giving a new fix to some carries stating "improves battery performance" on top of 5.1.1 .

Will wait for that .
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
The phone batttery just gives up on mobile data connection, while connected only to wifi I get SOT of 4-5 hrs but the moment it moves to data, 1.5-2 hrs
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
The new update fixes ram issue and improves battery life apparently. I love the phone but the battery life is strictly mediocre.
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
Do we get this update?
[Galaxy S6 General] cire27rn:
Hello there. If ever there will be new and updated 5.1.1, can I flash directly? I have a g920I from KSA and im trying to flash an indian fw.
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Yes you can as long as you flash the correct model firmware. Do look carefully as there are two variants G920F and G920I. I am on the India Rom, S6 Edge user from Singapore. Overall not bad but Hangout got the not responding bug quite annoying despite disable it. I suggest you wait for the second release 5.1.1 for the "I" variant, it will be release eventually as now it's rollout out in Europe for the "F" variants that rumour it improve battery life, fix bugs and improve RAM management. Don't know how true is that.
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
any idea when we getting this new ota which fixes batt life... and also i am facing huge problem of fone losing connectivity in low signal area and at same place the lg g4 performs solid and no drops on same sim same network...any1 else facing this issue?

Predator21 Bhai LoL...

In a what's app group, few ppl who seems to have this issue have got a replacement from Samsung under warranty... Try it out....
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
I do have this call drop issue too! I think getting new replacement device doesn't solve the issue either. You may try that if u like. Hope the new update solves it. I'm on airtel prepaid, what network are you on?
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
M getting low network in areas.. it immediately shows emergency call...when low network is der.. m considering shifting to g4 coz when i had edge it had same symtoms..i guess antenna is junk in this fone
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
have you selected WCDMA only in mobile network setting, i faced this issue when i did that. After moving it to auto connect it is fixed.
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
i am on gsm only coz no 3g in this area

It's the same for me. But It's better than Iphone 6 (had it before I moved to S6). Don't know about other phones.

samsung galaxy s6 disapointments !!!!!!!

Hi all ,

I want to know if there is any way of downloading the galaxy samsung themes for s6. As i see there is no way of using the theme , infact we cannot see any themes in the store. Is this cos of the regional difference?? also cannot download any of the camera extra modes .. . I am for Bhutan. Feeling really out of place cos themes,camera extras , and many other samsung exclusives dont work !!! samsung why the region locking ??? Why????? in contrary to this.... APPLE is WAYYYYYYYY better !!!! thanks .

Yes thats totally true - but i am getting more than 2 hrs of SOT in 3g and in wifi same as urs !!
[Galaxy S6 General] cire27rn:
If you are using the update then that would be the 2nd update of 5.1.1?? Or the old COG3/COF8?

There is no proper description of the update. Did anyone find a changelog anywhere?
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Samsung has notoriously bad changelogs
[Galaxy S6 General] jinxsonu:
Got the same update as [MENTION=3098563]Shriac[/MENTION] got this morning. No info about the change log on the internet. I hope it increases the standby time.

Anyone gets a detailed change log then guys please share it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Battery life seems pretty good atm after the update.

Standby time seems to be much better too. I'd usually be at ~20% by this time

[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
Yeah less heating problem and no apps reload. Battery life is same.

[Galaxy S6 General] cire27rn:
Waa. Im on custom. Wanna update mine too. Can u pls each me how to revert to old stock??
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
Can't say. Because samsung does not auto fetch mms or media files unless it has been enabled.
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
But It is issuing an update on T-Mobile regarding this to S5 and Note 4... So I highly believe it must be carrying this fix.

Anyways, how is your battery life holding up and on which network?
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
3 and half hours of screen on time with usage like clicking photos, sending files, YouTube, music, and music on loudspeaker. My network is tata docomo, so far no network issues.
[Galaxy S6 General] vphilot:
I'm using this ROM in Brazil and had my phone updated OTA today. By now it seems that deep sleep bug is fixed. I was going crazy, hope the bug won't come back.
[Galaxy S6 General] smartjain:
updated last night so far the battery has been good.
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
Hi guys,

After this ~240mb update i've been noticing the following,

1. The details button in battery no longer works.

2. Wallpaper motion effect doesn't work even if its turned on.

3. Also, one more thing i noticed, the notification that you get once the charge reaches 100% with a beep sound and screen on doesn't work as well. Only the light turns green. Do you have this issue as well? i always thought updates are meant to give new features, not to take away whats already there :P
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
ya the details option is gone, and i can't block apps from autostarting.
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
Yes, can confirm that details doesn't work now, neither does wallpaper motion effect. Haven't tested the battery notification.

I don't understand why they pull good features like guest mode and quick Wi-Fi settings firstly.

Secondly what they've provided isn't working too.

Though the ram issue is fixed greatly in this update. I tried with 20~ apps.
[Galaxy S6 General] vphilot:
Yep, everything you said is true. But it's giving me better battery so I'd trade these features for that :P
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
Not for me. Battery life has decreased instead.

PFA the screenshots.
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
It does..

Ram Issues

May be I am too late to join the party, got my s6 a week before. As addressed by many users I am also facing the same issue of poor ram management. More than 70% of ram is used when idle without any apps running in the background. But still it hasn't affected my gaming and day-to-day usage. Camera, sound and display are top notch no doubt about it. I have updated to 5.1.1 and still facing the ram issue. Don't have any battery problems as reported by many users, can get through a day without any issues. Again I am not a heavy gamer. I play for nearly 1-2 hours, 24x7 connected to wifi. Happy with my s6 looking forward to root and try some custom rom flavours:D
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
Could you post some screenshots of the battery life?
