agreed, people say it gets better on 5.1.1 once u switch off certain features, but then the thought comes to mind that if i had to handicap my phone to get better battery life out of it then y do i even waste my money on something that "allegedly" does everything..well thats just the way technology is today we want thinner better and no compromise, unfortunately even in a perfect world that scenario doesnt play out.
[Galaxy S6 General] spike.trickster:
I dont mind switching off certain features. Specially Google now and crap, I dont even use them. I use my cam, facebook, whatsapp, instagram, music. Not even videos xD
[Galaxy S6 General] KevFernandes:
Facebook eats up a lot of power and so does whatsapp more optimization on the Developers front will probably solve that issue as most wakelocks are registered by these two apps.

Hi Guys Just got my s6 - Can anyone guide me on the best method to root it? TIA
[Galaxy S6 General] thegr8anand:
Ordered one from Amazon for 39k.

Impulse buy but am really hoping this is what S2 was to me.
[Galaxy S6 General] KevFernandes:
Its in the S2 league in terms of performance and display quality, the battery life will leave a lot to be desired but non the less a brilliant choice.

Hope you enjoy your device let us knw your experience.

Lol what¡ in s2 league. You might got the fake s6 unit

S6 is the most superior phone out there.
[Galaxy S6 General] thegr8anand:
Hehe. I am sure you know he meant what S2 was in its time ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
With 14nm chipset and lpddr4 ram, the comparison stops here itself [emoji10]

Even the desktop processor like sixth gen intel has started 14nm process and ddr4 ram. Samsung clearly has an edge over others in technology. The s6 is in different league itself. Despite released in April still no other phone has able to give a tough benchmark against s6 in all aspects. I wonder what note 5 will be.
[Galaxy S6 General] kannanX10:
yes 5.1.1 roll out has started for indian S6 and S6 edge variants....................no OTA as of now but available via smartswitch and kies
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
dude, what he meant was S6 is as good as S2 was in it's time. So he will love the upgrade and be satisified as he was with S2. That is ALL!!!!

Android 5.1.1 Update

Guys 5.1.1 update is out for Indian S6. I have not got the OTA notification but upgraded using Samsung Smart Switch on laptop. It's about 1.2 gb in size.
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Guys, kindly review how the Android 5.1.1 compared to Android 5.0.2 on the S6 and S6 Edge (920I / 925I), although our model in Singapore is same as you all, we haven't got it yet.
[Galaxy S6 General] kannanX10:

[Galaxy S6 General] trishul:
Guys I got a new device yesterday - had a question

The top of the display has a pink tint which shifts to the lower half and back again when I hold the device in my hand and move it - basically it's a MOVING pink tint and not fixed.

Is this normal ?
[Galaxy S6 General] dbarrett480:
5.1.1 has been posted on sammobile for India!
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:

[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Is there a root for 5.1 India rom?
[Galaxy S6 General] spike.trickster:
Installing the 5.1.1 update through smart switch. Will perform a factory reset after its done.
[Galaxy S6 General] bhavstech:
Flash through odin better and factory reset not required i did it
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
well i guess doing factory reset does help in hvng stable system..btw do u guys have the option to disable wallpaper animation in ur rom? i flashed via smart switch ..and how is batt..mine still sucks see my post with attachments
[Galaxy S6 General] spike.trickster:
I did a hard reset. Now will look out for battery life. And yes i have the wallpaper motion option. :D
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Well I have the wallpaper motion switch.
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
are u using any launcher? did u do factory reset after update?
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Yes I did a factory reset as this was a rather big update. I always like to star afresh after big upgrades.

And I am on stock launcher with Material theme.

[MENTION=3438531]badelemental[/MENTION] How are you finding the battery?
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Well I think there's not much improvement though this is too early to tell IMHO. Will report back the results in couple of days when the fresh system settles down.
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
Is the RAM usage issues solved? do you see any significant result in RAM usage?
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
I guess we just have to agree that battery is crap and live with it..

Nope, many early adopters have already confirmed don't see why it will change with India specific.
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
To tell the truth I see some improvements. Clash of clans doesn't reload that often now. So there has to be some improvements.
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
ThATS quite good news.

Can you try some more games in background.....................................
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
I can see an option to select if system can kill the App to save battery. Can anyone please report if this option was present in 5.0.1 ?

Also I can see SOT has improved.
[Galaxy S6 General] spike.trickster:
Battery isnt crap, Lollipop is xD
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:
nope

Yeah lollipop is a failed android build. eVen Google knows what they're doing.

qUick fACT: tHe dOOZING function on aNdroid M was inspired from galaxy s6. THe S6 has the best standby time.
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
The option should be there in Settings > Battery. If not then this is new in this update.
[Galaxy S6 General] smartjain:
battery is draining much faster after the 5.1.1 update for me. It was much more stable on the last one.
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
I guess this is a new option to shut down any app that may take battery life by running in background. Quite handy to have.
[Galaxy S6 General] somsang:

5.1.1 G920i

someone who has the g920i install the stock ROM 5. 1. 1 even though installed a custom ROM 5. 1. 1? gave a problem? how to proceed?
[Galaxy S6 General] spike.trickster:
What do I do bout this? Ive tried restarting, clearing cache. Now only solution is factory reset which Is boring to do.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
So let's get this straight.

1.The smart switch via pc gives an Indian version of the update that doesn't have the wallpaper adjustment?

2.What's up with the call vibration? Does that mean you now get the option to enable vibration when someone attends the call? That is what this functionality is?

3. Do you guys think a factory reset helps the RAM hogging issue on idle?
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
I upgraded through Smart Switch and I have the wallpaper motion option. Though I did a factory reset after applying the update.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
The pain of a factory reset is that I have to download the entire set of apps again :( #NoRootProblems
[Galaxy S6 General] thegr8anand:

Can someone guide me how to upgrade to 5.1.1?

Right now my phone says Downloading Updates but clicking on it doesn't do anything. How can i tell whats it downloading?
[Galaxy S6 General] kannanX10:
initial updates might be for earlier firmwares,for 5.1.1 use samsung's smartswitch(no OTA was available yesterday) application for desktop and try updating................
[Galaxy S6 General] smartjain:
I downloaded the firmware from sammobile and upgraded through Odin and still dont have the call vibration setting?

also has anybody noticed after the upgrade the camera images are very sharp?
[Galaxy S6 General] nishadh:
I updated via smart switch without factory reset and i also have the wallpaper motion effect. It will only be available on the stock launcher. Long press anywhere on the home screen, then tap on wallpapers and then you will see that option.

[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Guess I will wait for Samsung to release the build for Singapore as India rom lacks of Asian languages support and no VoLTE option. I think Singapore will have a newer build than India one as till now we haven't got it as our S6 Edge latest is v5.0.2 BOF7 Build Date: 20 June 2015

I made the mistake of installing this build into my phone, now I don't have the laguage I need (Spanish), and I can't downgrade to 5.0.2 :crying:

5.1.1 was released to Sri Lanka and Nepal, maybe those builds have other languages?
[Galaxy S6 General] Sumit.K:
I have a different issue all together from whats mentioned till date and it's about the home button. It was scratched right out of the box which is simply unacceptable.

It really baffles me as to how such faults get un-noticed before packing the product. The very least a customer expects after paying such a premium price is to have a well packed device.

Pheww!
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Anyone got the shipment information from Samsung eStore. I am still waiting for the shipping confirmation. I had ordered 64GB Gold S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] lycan_codex:
I bought the 64 Gb gold color from the Samsung store in Bangalore, I was kind of disappointed as no other color was available for 64 GB ones except gold.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sachinfan:
that's bad. I remember that when my friend wanted to buy the m8 last year, every shop had only the gun-metal color for 1st few months......
[Galaxy S6 General] lycan_codex:
yeah, a little too flashy for my taste, but i have come to get used to it, slap a Spigen case on it and it looks good. I am gonna sell it and buy Note 5 anyways so went with this option..
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Gold 64GB S6

Got it from a Samsung store in thane.
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
How is the Gold color in your opinion ?

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

What's your view on Gold color. I used to have White ones but I had to go with gold as no other option was there.
[Galaxy S6 General] lycan_codex:
Gold color is not bad...but it reflects too much..A black case looks sexy on the gold s6...or a transparent one..I got Spigen cases...I can certainly live with it..

Or if u can have matt finish screen guards applied on both ends...it doesnt reflect that much..It took a day for me to get used to it..

But there is no denying that the white one is incredibly sexy!
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
I ordered Ringke Fusion case (crystal clear) and hope it will go well with gold option. Well every time I had white version let's try something different for a change.

Also can you please let me know if capacitive button and notification LEDs leak the light a bit too much like white version ? I meant the black one does the best job of keep light leak to min but in white the light spreads into white too much. If that's not the case with gold then I can certainly live with it.
[Galaxy S6 General] lycan_codex:
Both black and gold version's capacitive and Notification lights do not leak light. Another funny thing is there is no option to disable capacitive buttons in settings..stock roms used to have those options in previous generations.. I would strongly suggest a Matt finish screen guard as these phones are fingerprint magnets
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Thanks for the info. White one leaks light too much if you are in a dark room. Anyways got Spigen screen guard for both front and back. Also ordered one Ringke Fusion case. That should keep the fingerprints out of the device.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Did you buy Spigen screen guard online or from local store?
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
It is available in eBay and Amazon.in

Look for the seller TekkiTakke, this seller has all the Spigen genuine cases and screen guards. The pack includes 2 front screen guard and one back. Price is 899 (at the time when I bought).
[Galaxy S6 General] axhk97m:
Got mine yesterday, Black Sapphire 32Gb. Battery is not very good.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:
Compared to S6 Edge users there are more S6 normal users from India.My doubt is...What made you guys buy S6 instead S6 Edge
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Well the edge looks cool but it is not practical. Also price difference is too high and with that price I would go for more internal memory.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:
it is not practical? what you mean by that
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Actually Samsung can just add all the languages into the firmware just like iPhone is all languages be it which region you are at as it universal and easier. It's just a language.xml file to include all but they like to separate language by region which idk why too. Forever cannot understand why they need to separate and make this difficult for themselves as it's just languages also not region specific or telcos specific apps.

Guess you have to wait for other region "I" variants firmware, don't bother flashing Singapore one when it release because it don't include Spanish as well, flash back your own region one is better.
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
caution to all users... i have noticed smthng very strange.. once updated you will get option of disabling the wallpaper animation. but once u install any 3rd party launcher the option will be hidden forever untill u do factory reset.. pls be careful and the moment u install 3rd party launcher like i did "nova prime" the wallpaper animation automatically turned back on n now i cannot disable it even after using stock launcher coz now its totally hidden.

install switch and let it update. then run win 8.1 updates and let it install samsung unified USB driver update

and all will work normally

any suggestions for a good light weight launcher... ? and also enabling force GPU rendering mks ui overall smooth dt know its impact on batt....
[Galaxy S6 General] KevFernandes:
Nova Launcher and Action Launcher are My choices and are pretty light weight (atleast lighter then touchwiz) you should take those two for a spin, I am a litttle partial towards Action Launcher due to the fact that you can use covers for folders making it more aesthetically pleasing.

Hope i helped.
[Galaxy S6 General] predator21:
M using nova launcher..but doe to this annoying wallpaper animation option lost as i said... m bit bored.. so will try action launcher now..
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
+1 agree, Android Lollipop is like Windows Vista, Epic Fail...lets hope Android M will be like upcoming Windows 10.
[Galaxy S6 General] KevFernandes:
Android Lollipop brought in material design and with everything that is new some or the other issue comes up, just give it time to mature i certainly feel that its going to be the OS of the future. The penetration is also par excellence as many low and mid range phones are using 5.X so success has been achieved.

Unlike Vista Google is not abandoning its platform veterans and addressing issues.

The bigger picture is still the vast improvements that Lollipop brings in ; in terms of design and functionality, i hope Android M will do a better job enhancing that experience.

Updated to 5.1.1 INS

Well the network status bug is gone for me now! Signal strength is shown correctly and I haven't faced any call drops since yesterday (after the update).

The camera performance is improved as well. Now the pics have less grain and better details for same ISO & similar shutter speeds compared to previous firmware (best appreciated at 100% crop)!

Battery was fine before for me and it appears to be the same or bit better (can't comment so soon). Performance is bit better overall.
[Galaxy S6 General] kannanX10:
Yes camera has been improved. ...
[Galaxy S6 General] thegr8anand:
The camera in this is effing great!
[Galaxy S6 General] bernard134:
Thanks for all the feedback! Seem like the 5.1.1 update is positive as many have said that the camera quality has improve and with other added improvements and stability fixes, though it still unknown whether the RAM issue is fix or not or it does provide better battery life.

I am looking forward to the update when Samsung release for Singapore users. As usual Singapore is always slower in update and worse is that "I" variant is always behind "F" variant update.
