Exactly. Though I never touched 4 hours but it's getting just worse. Need to visit service centre.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkNate34:
Why disable it? You are supposed to use Game Tuner app to your advantage. I use it to render the games I play at 1080p resolution, 60 FPS and 50% texture quality. No visible quality loss, improved performance and significantly less battery consumption, most noticeable on demanding games.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathish087:
Same feeling. Just waiting for my device to get at least 6 months old... Lol..

Not willing to void warranty so soon..

Awful battery life

Ever since marshmallow things have got worse. I thought doze mode was supposed to help! SOT has gone from 3 and a half hours to 2 hours! Feel like selling this phone seriously.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
I replaced s6 with note 5, and much satisfied.
[Galaxy S6 General] sha_tan:
I was getting a terrible battery life after updating to MM. Would hardly get my phone to last 7-8 hours, with <1.5hrs of SOT. Tried disabling bloatware, uninstalled facebook, factory reset the phone several times. Nothing seemed to help much. Then I flashed the stock version again after downloading from sammobile, did a factory reset, disabled some bloatware, and disabled location history and Google Now, and for the past one week, I can easily get the phone to last 20-22hours in a single charge with ~2hrs of SOT. Not a heavy user, but I do have FB, whatsapp on my phone, and bluetooth on for the whole day (paired with a Gear S2), and wifi on at home.

After flashing twrp-3.0.2-0 recovery device is stuck at boot screen

not able to boot or enter into recovery mode.

Flashed stock recovery / twrp-2.8.7.2 still no luck.

Any solution?

Edit :

Flashed cf-auto root

Back to life :)

Edit :

Lost root

Shows su binary is missing

Not able to root again

Any solution ?
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
Go to download mode by pressing power+home+volume down button and used Odin to flash arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5

here is the link http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/recovery/twrp/g920fi/

Then next step is directly go to recovery mode by pressing power+home+volume up button make sure you do this.

Then flash any of the custom kernel I suggest use arter kernel

here is the link http://arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/kernel/beta/14.0-beta7/g920fi/, it's better then stock and better battery life.

After this step if supersu is not installed by the kernel flash supersu you can try this version STABLE-SuperSU-v2.65-SYSTEMMODE.zip

here is the link supersu RC_SuperSU-v2.70-systemMode.

No more boot loops. I hope this helps if it did please press the :svetius:Thanks button :)
[Galaxy S6 General] mahipat:
Fewww !!!

finally rooted :D

Had to install all 3

Thanks bro :cool:
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
No problem, I am happy that it helped you :angel:
[Galaxy S6 General] mahipat:
Do you use greenify bro ?

if yes , can you please tell me best settings for last long battery ?
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
No I don't use it...
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
So which ROM are you using for better battery life? Or is it just the arter kernel which does the job?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
Stock firmware with arter kernel and most of bloatware either deleted or freezed.

Here are few screenshots
[Galaxy S6 General] observingi:
That's interesting!

Is wifi on, always? What's your typical setup?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] Archmag3:
Obviously there wont be much drain when you are in airplane mode..stop post battery usage for unreal scenarios..ffs
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
Well I have no network here at home so I always be in airplane mode, I'm not spreading any flash rumors I'm just showing the other person what my setting is. :confused:

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

Yes WiFi is always on and at home it will be in airplane mode and outside normal mode. Whatsapp hike and few games like asphalt nova candy crush.....
[Galaxy S6 General] EthanDev:
Okay so today i found this.. i have posted earlier in help and troubleshooting section about the charger making noise while charging.. some members said its normal.. but looks like it melted.. there's a yellowish burn like color in it and whenever i charge my phone the charging head of the charger is too hot to touch and also a burning smell is there... sometimes i even get a "Charging stopped. Battery temperature too high" message..???
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
Better visit the service center if its still under warranty you can get a replacement, like you said its making noise and a bit hot its normal as mine did the same but no burning smell what so ever.

So I would suggest you to visit the service center if its a faulty under warranty get it replaced or the next best option is buy a new cable so there will be no risk in the near future.

---Also you if have any spare usb cable have a check with the Samsung charger and spare usb cable to see if you hear any noise---
[Galaxy S6 General] EthanDev:
checked it with my old Note 3 Neo's cable.. works fine
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
So better have a visit to the Service Center and replace under warranty or buy a new usb cable.

That's the only solution atm.

I hope this helped if it did don't forget to click the :good:

How? I barely get 3 hours of SOT. I understand it differs with usage but no this much unless [MENTION=2839867]mahipat[/MENTION] is using no third party app + airplane mode and only switched to network for purpose of the screenshot. :?
[Galaxy S6 General] mahipat:
Nope bro note airplane mode.

[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Got a new update today.. Possibly May security level update
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Is it the May security?
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Ya.. security level updated to May..
[Galaxy S6 General] EthanDev:
UPDATE:

the cable has stopped working :( going to svc tomorrow.. hope they replace it under warranty..
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
Oh sad to hear that, and accessories within box has 6 months warranty hope its under 6 months.

Let me know what happens....fingers crossed:angel:
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Buy an LG cable(used for G3 or newer) if they don't replace it as LG cables are of higher quality and more resistant to damage! Use it with your fast charger. I use this combo for the past 3 years!
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
accessories only 6 months? dafk... i got it in October. so i cant get the cable replaced? :(
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Same here , i got my charging cable broke due to heavy heat while fast charging.

I Purchased in October too.

Sadly we have only way is buy new good quality cable. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
i confirmed with the fellows at Samsung IT World here. we gotta buy a new charger for 1300 rupees. i am thinking of using some other cable as the fault is with the cable only.
[Galaxy S6 General] EthanDev:
UPDATE 2:

SVC guy said they can't provide warranty for burnt items.. i explained to them that since the accessory was defective out of the box i SHOULD get it replaced under warranty.. But they were sticking to their burnt product policy and said to get a new cable instead... So i had to buy a new usb cable for Rs. 200

Is it true Samsung won't replace in such cases?? That's unfair man!! :(
[Galaxy S6 General] raju.d:
Yeap after service sucks and it's the same everywhere don't know about other company but Sony & Samsung have worse after sales service.....:mad:
[Galaxy S6 General] EthanDev:
Sony is a joke... They have good products but their policies are worst... (along with the front camera of Xperia Z2:mad:)

Hi guys!

I have tried flashing almost every ROM on my S6 only to get back at stock which is also plagued with bloat. I have never seen a SOT > 3 hours. Any ideas or suggestions about a ROM/Kernel?

Freeze unwanted apps with titanium , greenify apps.

Hi guys,

Does anybody knows how to disable DVFS without using the xposed framework on marshmallow. Changing the permissions of dvfs,dvfs max lock and dvfs min lock worked perfectly in lollipop, but no more working on marshmallow.

I have disable DVFS using wanam xposed module of xposed framework, disabling DVFS for particular apps only causes phone to freeze frequently while switching to fullscreen apps and disabling DVFS globally causes slight lag in animations which I dont like.

Guys pls suggest if anyone has a beter idea.
[Galaxy S6 General] sam142000:
Hi guys, <br />

<br />

I have recently moved back from Dubai to India(Gurgaon). I had bought the G920F model there and India has the G920I.<br />

I want to know if there is a way to safely flash Indian CSC files on my model without rooting?<br />

<br />

Any help would be very much appreciated. <br />

<br />

P. S. I'm on the UAE firmware.<br />

<br />
[Galaxy S6 General] Androidista:
Hi guys i have tried downloading the latest stock rom on sammobile but everytime it says there is an adblocker on my device.What would be the fix and can someone post the zip for G920IDVS3EPE4 INU please.
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavinshah_321:
As long as you flash a stock Samsung firmware, it wont trip the Knox void counter. You can safely flash without rooting.
[Galaxy S6 General] sam142000:
I know all that. What I'm asking is that if I can flash INDIAN csc file on a UEA firmware and How?
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavinshah_321:
Yes you can. Download the 'STOCK' Indian firmware from Sam firmware or wherever. Just make sure it's the latest. It doesn't really have to be latest, the reason I am telling latest is you need to have higher baseband version than the current firmware you are using. So yea latest. And flash it with ODIN. And finally factory reset your phone. Now you will have stock Indian firmware with Indian CSC code.
[Galaxy S6 General] sam142000:
I just want to flash the CSC file.

My model is 920F and Indian model is 920I.

I cant flash the whole firmware on my handset.
[Galaxy S6 General] sikandersawhney:
My phone is no longer detected on pc after rooting and installing arter97. Any solutions?
[Galaxy S6 General] sikandersawhney:
Q1. I have installed arter97 kernel. Now I want to update my kernel to v20. Should I wipe my data? As my device is not being recognized by pc(mtp issue). Q2. Also will installing xstereolite custom rom help? Q3. What is the procedure if I have to update custom kernel and install this custom rom?

Guys please help
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavinshah_321:
You have to if you want the Indian CSC. I bought my S6 from KSA (Saudi Arabia). I flashed the Indian firmware and formatted by phone. I have Indian CSC now.
[Galaxy S6 General] sam142000:
So the model you have is G920I or G920F?

Just want to make it clear before proceeding.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Just got an update.. Possibly June month fixes..
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavinshah_321:
Oh wait I just realized now. You have a G920F. In that case don't do it. You will quite possibly brick your device. How did you manage to get a 920F from Dubai? Whole of middle east has 920I. You can only flash a different 920I firmware for 920I device. Or a different 920F firmware for 920F device.
[Galaxy S6 General] sam142000:
I purchased from a Samsung store and got this model. I didn't really pay attention to what model I was gettimg at that time.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
Anyone redeemed Jio Samsung sim offer?

4g data works fine but cant make phone calls.

Customer service at Jio informed that phone calls works only in VoLTE compatible phones. Doesn't GS6 support VoLTE natively?
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
you can make voice calls to any network (on some network you will get line busy tone but try 3-4 times and call will be connected) , but you can not make video calls over phone network if person who is opposite site dont have volte network.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
Voice call is not working for me. Calls get disconnected immediately as soon as touch call button.

Even sms service is not working. I am forced to use JioJoin app for make shift VoLTE.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
What i done is

install myjio app and generate code , using that code i got jio sim

after few mins sim got activated with 2gb data and 100 min voice balance

on myjio app i had to install 4 apps to get unlimited offer activated , as soon as i installed all 4 offers and submit activation request from myjio app , unlimited plan was activated.

So in my case all services was working instantly after sim got activated

Not installed jiojoin app till now
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
everything else was same with me apart from call function. I used the same sim in lyf handset and was able to make phone calls ( that's how I made the verification call ). both data and calls worked flawlessly in lyf handset but on GS6 only data works.

earlier I was in xtrestolite 3.3.1 no phone calls..

noble rom 3.2 no phone calls..

samsung stock rom still not working..
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
I got sim using myjio app on s6

I tried to use the same sim on letv leeco le 2 mobile but not able to get network
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
I too am facing same problem. I am on xtrestolite 3.2.

I was preparing to flash stock rom.

My brother as note 5 and the phone call works.

are you on latest stock firmware?
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
I reset my phone to stock rom and then used in phone factory reset option.

Voice is working now. VoLTE sign is also displayed at top.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
My sim is working on compatible Samsung devices and Lyf phones.
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
I will reset my phone to stock now. Lets see if it works.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Guys! Is there any way to retrieve the cancelled or swiped out notifications again??
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
I did reset my phone to stock using the latest stock firmware. also did a factory reset. voice calls not working.

what am I doing wrong.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
I hope you have verified your no. for phone calls by calling 1977.

Is your phone displaying VoLTE sign in notification bar?
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
yes I have verified. Data is on and working but default phone app is unable to make calls.

jiojoin app is able to make calls.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
Mobile network mode is set to LTE only.

Did you use odin to reset your phone ? Odin did not solve my problem.

I had to use the tedious smart switch emergency software recovery method.

Then I used in phone backup and reset option to factory reset the device.

After reboot my phone started displaying VoLTE sign and phone calls started working.
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
Thanks a lot. It worked. I wonder what could be the difference between odin and smart switch way. Firmware version is same.

Also I would like to know whether you have rooted the phone now and does it affect VoLTE.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
I used CF Auto Root, Arter97 recovery and Arter97 kernel.

Everything seems fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavinshah_321:
Damn. There is no way to get Indian firmware on 'F' variant even if you were rooted.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

The Jio SIM offer is completely free? 3 months of truly unlimited LTE data? And what are the D/L speeds ? I just upgraded from S6 to S7. So glad I went for the dual SIM variant of S7.
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
The jio 4g speeds are amazing. Getting 25mbps whole day.
[Galaxy S6 General] rkial:
July patch out now. 81.98mb update available.

Yes completely free, not even sim charges, truly unlimited , In day time i am getting around 10mbps and in night hours 50-60mbps (bandwidth).
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
Did you install xposed framework. I tried installing latest xposed framework and now lost the VoLTE option.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
I have newest xposed installed. VoLTE is working.
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
Got it working after reflashing xposed. one more problem was caused because of limiting icing service. removed that and everything is fine now.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
Now mine is gone too. Its only showing LTE.. no VoLTE..

How did you get it back?

reflashing xposed done.. did not help.

how did you remove icing service?
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
yesterday I flashed latest firmware which was released yesterday itself using smart switch. which started the Volte. later rooted and installed xposed also restored some user apps using Titanium backup. during this process somehow I lost Volte support. So I factory reset the rom and repeated the procedure. I was using amplify to block wakelocks like icing service which was causing my phone to hang. Also I noticed one thing that network was not available for 3 hrs from around 12pm at my place. reliance must be doing some upgrades. So check first if network is available.
[Galaxy S6 General] ayush_01:
Anyone else getting Lines are busy reply all the time on Jio4g volte call?
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Yap , seems particular networks like bsnl and airtel on which i am getting busy line error , i complained to jio yesterday for the same and they assured me to solve the problem within 24 hours.

From today seems issue is solved , as on which network and number i was getting that problem is working fine now, calls getting connected in 1st attempt only as it suppose to :)
[Galaxy S6 General] ayush_01:
Strange,I complained too and they told me there was a network outage and the problem will be solved by 31st of this month.

Stock rom?
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
Moved to SpaceX kernel.

ROM is stock, for some strange reason Jio VoLTE is not working on any ROM other than stock.
[Galaxy S6 General] Shriac:
There must be some problem regarding csc. custom roms don't include Indian csc files.
[Galaxy S6 General] ayush_01:
Which kernel gives better sot for you:stock,after or SpaceX?
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
SpaceX easily beats stock kernel. Stock kernel gets around 3-3:30hours whereas SpaceX gives around 4 hours..

android os and android system battery drain is far less in spacex.
[Galaxy S6 General] ayush_01:
Better than arter?
[Galaxy S6 General] nikkool555:
As volte is bugged in custom releases. I'm waiting for xfam rom in s6 thread in which the op says that it's volte ready.
[Galaxy S6 General] SarvGarg:
SpaceX has lower android system battery drain than arter.

Android OS battery drain is almost same.

You can try xfam or go back to alexis 5.2 with 5.2.1 update.The first rom I used for a month without any issues.Not that I had issues after a month but I changed back to stock for Volte support. If it had volte support,I would still be using that.
