[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
Well let me put a bit of clarification being from an army field dealing with same... all sets of s6 are approx may - june 2015 build and after that the production dropped to negligible coz of production lines used for edge and note series. In old days batt use to be sealed in a anti-static packing and connectors un attached to preserve the batt cycle, With non removable the batteries are charge approx 25% before packing but due to continuous contact with hardware the drain is always there though slow. In-turn what happens is that due to prolong unuse and by the time sets are activated after 4 months plus the batt has had a impact on residual & charging cycle which will take at least a month to come back to original strength if u do proper drain and charge cycle. Simple example what if u go on 4 months vacation and leave ur car or bike. Would not they have erratic issues and will take time to come back to original state as u left them...?

I myself got a s6 this mnth but built is of Apr 2015.. the first thing that hppnd immediately was 5.1.1 download n then the rest..So plz give it time if ur handset was packed prior to 3 months plus.

All the best guys hope this helps... BTW its an amazing hardware..right size..pocket able.. awsm cam and not to forget premium finish
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
Although can't be proved, but can't be denied either. I agree on that. Similar with laptops as well. It needs an 'adaptation time' to reach optimum level again. The 'pocketability' is what made it more convenient and S6 being that anorexic, I have to check if it's still in my pockets :D
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
Its proved bro.. simple electronics behaviour. .. i hv been on this for 10 years plus... ny non removable batt device will behave same
[Galaxy S6 General] Von Moplo:
Here in Panamá and in other countries of central and south america we use the same device as you guys, so we are in the same boat just hopping there will be updates for India soon
[Galaxy S6 General] ph03n!x:
Guys, can anyone post the customer.xml files that'll be under /system/csc/INU/system/csc, and the one from /system/csc please?
[Galaxy S6 General] pandeyashwin:
Are you stock or rooted ? Out of the box s6 has a very poor battery management
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Stock. I used to get 4 hours of sot out of the box so won't agree with your statement :p

I bought one plus x for my father. The battery life is decent and there's an update. But didn't install it just because updates always bring some problems. So from now on if i am not happy with the current version then only i am going to update
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
Finally after full 12 charge cycles... m happy
[Galaxy S6 General] SaffatBokul:
Seems like korea is getting the official update today. No word on indian version. From next time we will have to buy the UK variant to get updates it seems :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] andifds:
I think the same. But I really believe that my SGS6 will be my last Samsung. Unfortunately when talking about Android phones, I hate HTC, Motorola lacks of camera quality, I've tried Sony but doesn't convince me, the same happen with LG and that only left the iPhone that I hate. ?

Hope to get the update in the current month at least, to try to bump my battery with doze. If not I will have to buy a new one from eBay.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow update starting with Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge on February 15, 2016

Official annoucement

https://news.samsung.com/global/samsung-offers-android-6-0-marshmallow-update-for-galaxy-devices
[Galaxy S6 General] SaffatBokul:
Same here. When I look at high range, there are no other options for me except samsung. I nearly bought the LG G4 but didn't like the design that much. I knew when buying that I won't get quick updates so I'm not that mad. And the current version works fine for me. Still it's good to get newer versions. Hope we will get this in this week
[Galaxy S6 General] RohanM:
BTW G4 already got MM.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Can anyone let me know what's the ibattery temperaturr while charging from the fast charger ?

Post battery change i am getting constant static like noise whenever i connect the fast charger. If i plug in another charger i dont get any noise. It comes even while talking on the ear piece.

Also the wire end get so hot that i can't even touch it for more than 2 seconds. Any idea what could be wrong ?

Will go to the service center once again. :frustrating:
[Galaxy S6 General] rohan007:
Same here. Let me know if anything helped you.
[Galaxy S6 General] ali262883:
Want to root my Samsung galaxy S6, SM-G920I running 5.1.1, already tried cf auto method which resulted in bootloop..please can anyone provide me a link to root my s6 on 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 General] andifds:
You must follow instructions. Please check your build number and compare it with CF Root instructions. BTW i dont recommend it, I tried and was amazing to root but the battery drained 10% every time a breathed
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
The wire itself was the problem. The technician checked with one of his cables and it didn't get hot. He showed me a black dot, i said i don't know what it is. He stood up and showed the wire to his boss. The boss came back and told me the wire has a cut and they can't replace it ( i bought a new in september) i got furious looking at the wire because now i could clearly see past the white insulation. I told him that you did this and pointed at the technician was there a cut like this. He stayed mum. I am getting angry just writing this and earlier i thought i wouldn't complaint to samsung but i will now.

My voice got high and the manager ( he claimed to be ) told me indirectly that i can't manage to buy a new wire and creating a scene. I said i bought a 50k phone and do you really think i will make a fuss about a 250rs wire.

I paid for it with warranty left. Why should i pay you more.

He threw the wire on the table in a tone like " do whatever you want to do i wont replace it" and kept pointing out that i was damaging the wire even more by bending it.

Again got furious , threw the cable on the table and came back. Sorry for the long post but they don't knkw how to behave with a customer. He wasn't using high voice but said some words which will make anyone furious.
[Galaxy S6 General] rohan007:
Post this on their twitter and Facebook page! This is no way to talk to a customer.
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
This is extremely true! I've also faced similar treatment from both the service center guys and the customer executives over the phone when i was talking to them for a recurring issue i had with the camera which was buzzing and vibrating even after multiple repairs. Something has to be done about this. We pay almost half a lac rupees and this is not the kind of treatment we deserve. :mad:
[Galaxy S6 General] kalpesh6331:
Hi buddy, I can understand your frustration.

I had similar issue, wire was getting too hot to touch

Also customer care denied to replace

I bought a new cable for 300 INR last week

The cable seems nice, and supports fast charging without getting hot

I am giving you the link in case you decide to buy one :)

[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Samsung customer care is a total bull**** most of the times. Send a mail to Samsung headquarters or Indian head office explaining ur situation and give complete details about the service center and that bull**** guy and tell that you u gonna sue them. Then wait and see that manager ll fall on ur feet. Consumer court is the only way to teach a lesson to these dumbass. I followed this way last time to replace my device completely.. They gave a cheque of the amount quoted in mobile bill and I bought a new device with that. I am not sure how they treat ur case.. But teach them a lesson..
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
when the hell are we getting marshmallow? samsung has biggest smartphone market share in india + we have international unlocked variants but they treat us as third world costumers? even small countries like thailand got marshmallow now but not us? wth samsung
[Galaxy S6 General] sendhiloo7:
I am totally agree with you [emoji19]
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
It's not about the country size. It's about the variant. Till now only 920F model has received the update. Rollout is yet to start for 920I model.. Thailand has 920F one
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
920F is international unlocked variant so is 920I

there is not much difference.. moreover countries like uk where devices are operator locked got it first and here we have 100% unlocked international variants.. i feel like samsung will most likely give us marshmallow in the end :(
[Galaxy S6 General] vnayrp:
Has anyone tried flashing the 920F 6.0.1 rom on the 920i?

Has anyone tried flashing the 920F 6.0.1 rom on the 920i?
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
No we cant flash 920F on 920I
[Galaxy S6 General] tntgdh:
really ? wow...I've been using a 920f firmware in my 920i for 5 months already. I'm using now the latest 5.1.1 from Mexico here.

it works just fine...no issues whatsoever

I will install the 6.0.1 xef in my phone as soon so as I return home from my trip.

You need the MM bootloader for 920/925i variant. Once you get it, you can falsh another firmware.
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
Hope this is true....
[Galaxy S6 General] jnmiah:
Yeah. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] sza777:
It's usb wire cracked/wearout change it
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

i hope this is true! i will download it from sammob and upload on some good website

sammob is slow AF
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
okey okey, hope you return home before official mm out , flash mm 920f firmware and let us know how you done it so we all can try :)
[Galaxy S6 General] SaffatBokul:
If everythings allright, we should receive the update starting from tonight
[Galaxy S6 General] Vishnu pv:
I have Note 5 guys. Bought it from india. Im also waiting for MM update. But Samsung is very poor in updating softwares. You guys S6 edge and S6 will receive MM update tomorrow night as I read in JustAboutPhone website. I don't know about Note 5*:(
[Galaxy S6 General] exynoss:
Can anyone pl tell what version of galaxy s6 and s6 edge India had ? Is international version which has good dev support in xda ?

I am asking this because later I don't want that the model I purchased of S6/s6 edge has low dev support.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] ammarvora:
I 100% feel they are fake news :(

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

In India, I think mostly I model is available. But good dev support is available for F model as it's the international model.
[Galaxy S6 General] musvi:
Howdy brother!! কেমন আছেন? Is there any legit source your confirmation about 920l?
[Galaxy S6 General] exynoss:
Thanks now will search for 925f model
[Galaxy S6 General] amresmael:
I not Indian but i got s6 920i ksa

F..k you samsung why they release different variant of s6 and no update

I just need any update for i variant so i can flash android mm

No more samsung device after that's s6
[Galaxy S6 General] ierrors:
Same here. SamDog never learn.
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
you wont get 925f in india.. you have to export it

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

sorry to say but the website is probably faking it to get views

"sources from samsung r&d center" lol bs

they will push out update for the F variant first and considering there are many other models of s6 out there they will get the update before us ..

guess we have to wait for minimum 2-3weeks more
[Galaxy S6 General] suren21:
i purchased I version thinking it was intrnational. looks like F is international. Duck you Samy .
[Galaxy S6 General] Vishnu pv:
Guys just calm down at least till today midnight. As per JustAboutPhone site, they said the update will roll out feb 29th midnight. That means today midnight. Just hope. 50% only.
[Galaxy S6 General] ammarvora:
Man it's fake for sure. There is no news on other sites about it.
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
dude.. you seriously believe that website?
[Galaxy S6 General] hugo7fold:
Samsung have to learn a lot of things with apple, about updating its smartphones. :)

I'm anxious for this update. Crossing fingers its coming this week.
[Galaxy S6 General] kalpesh6331:
Business strategy buddy :)

I also think the news is fake, destined just to get more hits
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
haha yeah exactly! just a click bait it is

that link is hot in other xda forums as well,guy must be earning quick bucks coz of that traffic :P
[Galaxy S6 General] andifds:
This MM lack of update, makes me skip samsung for my next phone. Why build so many variants of one model if you are going to forget the others variants wich have more/same user base?

(G920I is for some asia countries, latin america and india, thats 7Million phones?; G920F is only europe, another 7M phones?; USA variants less than 5M?; Korea & China versions less than 5M?; this considering that SGS6 & SGS6 Edge sold something like 45M units worldwide)
[Galaxy S6 General] zeehkaev:
We are getting MM pretty soon. Don't worry the I version is also well supported.

Also you could get Samsung phones, with Snapdragon, then you can always flash Stock Android or any other roms...

It's really not that bad.
[Galaxy S6 General] vishu1991:
No update for india..guess that news article was fake after all:(
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
ok its midnight ,ive been trying to get it from samfirm software which connects directly to samsung servers

so yes the website had fake news
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
seriously??? have u seen the number of ROMs that are F specific? they have even better followers n devs...

if you just compare F and I, F gets lot more support than I... its as simple as that
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
something from samsung customer care

this message is from a senior executive so i guess the update is close :)
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
not have to wait long , it will roll out soon , its on the way , you will get soon, etc are common replies , fact is we have to wait till they actually roll out, no one can give us date, sad but true :(
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
i have mailed the back asking an estimated date
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
hope they will give some date , but i think they will reply "soon" :/
[Galaxy S6 General] andifds:
that phrases started to get out nearly october, when the update to SGS6 was dated for december. now we are in march 2016 and nothing.

exec saying that is only to calm down the user, not to give a proper answer.
[Galaxy S6 General] debpratim009:
Imo they will push the update to i variants after s7 is in the market for sale or after 1 week! Maybe 3rd week of march we can expect the MM update for i variants! :confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] amresmael:
Damn i just need 1 s6 i variant to get update so i can flash

F..k you samsung firmware department

Help Needed

Hello friends,

I really need your help. I bought Galaxy S6 today. I have been using custom roms on My Z2 and OnePlus One for last 2 years. I just can't use any Android without rooting and modifying it. I couldn't find any proper guide to root the S6-GT920I. Please help me with the following queries:

1. What is the safest and working method gor Galaxy S6. Currently the device has 5.1 Android OS.

2. Which ROM would you recommend out of CarHD ROM and Xtresolite Deomod. I'm little bit confused with Modem, Baseband Files given in CarHD ROM thread. How should I use them or aren't they necessary?

3. What are the common bugs and their solutions related to Galaxy S6?

Hope to get answers from you friends :)
[Galaxy S6 General] sendhiloo7:
Hi Chopra,

Welcome to on board.

I strongly recommend to don't root our s6. . we have almost all features are inbuilt. At least you stay for two months in stock, So that in case any hardware failure, it will cover warranty.

As of now no rooting method without knox tripping.
[Galaxy S6 General] unspokenname:
Rooting and installing custom recovery on 5.1.1 is risky as the latest bootloaders were patched, if you try any root method you might get stuck with a bootloop. I had to flash the 5.1.1 firmware released in November to get an older bootloader, then I installed twrp. Currently I'm using noblerom with arter kernel on my G920I and find this to be the best combo in terms of performance and stability. I wasn't able to flash carHD rom. Xtresolite seemed lightweight but had issues when I added some Samsung apps and removed others via the aroma addon. Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
1. there's no way to root without tripping knox. it means that it may void your waaranty when you goto service center for software related issues. if u dont care about warranty, u can happily root

2. xstereolite is best in my opinion

3. no bugs as of now, depends on how u flash viz full wipe or not
[Galaxy S6 General] nschopra:
Thanks for your input buddy. Would you please share the rooting method you used and the recovery you have used to instal the kernel or the ROM. A few links and little bit procedure will be really helpful :)

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

I really don't care about Knox buddy. I just want a better battery life and a debloated ROM that should have some basic optimizations. Rooting the phone will void the warranty but I think phone can easily be un-rooted or retrieved to the original if something goes wrong, isn't it? BTW Which rooting method are you using yourself? :)
[Galaxy S6 General] ammarvora:
First of all tell on which build you are? Yes it can be brought back to normal if we flash stock but rooting trips Knox and it shows 0x1, which cannot be erased and it voids warranty.
[Galaxy S6 General] nschopra:
Means if we root it then unroot it and flash the original Firmware, even then the warrant will be void? If yes, then I won't be rooting it and that's a big disappointment for me :(
[Galaxy S6 General] ammarvora:
Yup that's right. Some service guys allow it and some don't, so you can't take the risk.
[Galaxy S6 General] nschopra:
Wait Wait... [MENTION=4845000]tamihania[/MENTION] you said "it may void your waaranty when you goto service center for software related issues." So if I go to customer centre for any hardware related issue then would there be any issue with Warranty?
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
Yes, if they check and see that Knox is tripped, technically your warranty is void.

If they don't notice, you might get away with it. But whether that is worth the risk is your call.
[Galaxy S6 General] OttomanTR:
again dont buy samsung! Wait wait wait wait 29fb wait 16march lol :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Vishnu pv:
Guys, Indian Marshmallow update for Note 5 (N920G), S6 (G920I) and S6 Edge (G925I) will only available after launch of S7. Confirmed my friend who is working in Samsung. May be end of March. Damn Samsung policy :mad:
[Galaxy S6 General] ben_cool:
s7 will go on sale from 2nd week of march most probably

the thing is 90% users dont care about marshmallow only we 10% geeks want it so samsung doesnt care..
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
All of this "news" is just BS speculation.. It ain't true, or official, unless Samsung go on the record themselves and announce the update..
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Completely agree , even Samsung not able to give even estimated date of release , and neither front desk employees nor social media staffs can give date on updates.

[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Indian S6 got last update on 18th of December 2015 means almost 3 months ago, even security updates are ignored :/

keep asking them on twitter and Facebook , at least they have to answer our query !!
[Galaxy S6 General] jnmiah:
I guess this phone variant isn't popular enough to get love and care anymore. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
Even I was excited but not anymore. We will get M update within month and Google is announcing N update in coming 3,4 months. So I guess we will get N update til end of 2017..
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
as long as the bootloader is same, we can try different versions like F on our phones. but these damn fellows lock that too.
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
Yes, nothing we can do. I don't want to do anything that voids my warranty.

Rooting Help

Friends, I have attached details of the device I'm using. May anyone please help me to root it safely. Isn't any Indian S6 user here who has rooted the phone without tripping the Knox? :(
[Galaxy S6 General] ravi_buz:
You have asked this question already. There is no way to root without tripping Knox.
[Galaxy S6 General] PG101:
Why don't you read a bit. And if you want to root, why are you bothered about Knox.. if you are so bothered about the warranty then you should not be rooting anyway.. you can't have everything ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] tamila:
i dont mind flashing any version as i have tripped knox already :P:D
[Galaxy S6 General] debpratim009:

European S6 International version I model received MM update today morning via OTA. So you guys can flash it when it available on Sammobile :)

The wait is over finally :)

See proof below in comments:
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
What CSC?
[Galaxy S6 General] Vishnu pv:
Dont know
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
Actually, the 920I was not released in Europe.....only Asia, india, middle east, south america, south africa, australia and New Zealand...
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavinshah_321:
I am pretty sure what he means by international model is variant 'F'.
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Wrong. The person made a typo.. it should read "S6 Marshmallow arrived on international model

in

Europe today.", and not "S6 Marshmallow arrived on international model I Europe today." There is no such thing as an I model in Europe. Only the F which is the international model..
[Galaxy S6 General] zeehkaev:
The I is also International, but for south american alike frequencies... Like Australia, Brazil, India, Colombia, Argentina, Chile and etc...

There were 2 international versions....
[Galaxy S6 General] self_slaughter:
Yeah bit of misinformation there lol.

Plenty more regions rolling out with 6.0.1 on the 920f. Nothing for 920i yet.

SM-G920I

SM-G920F
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
At this rate, probably safe to assume that the I versions will roll out once the F version rollout is next to complete. And that would make a fair bit of sense.
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
I've counted about 40 920F builds to go, so at 10 per day we are a week or more from a 920I build.
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavinshah_321:
There's a new version currently rolling out for 920I in Argentina based on 5.1.1. BUILD DATE: 27.01.2016 & Android security patch level: 01.02.2016.

The firmware is available online.
