Dirty flashed. Just been checking everything is working. No FC's at all.
[Galaxy S6 General] maxal:
I dirty flashed to.
[Galaxy S6 General] daleski75:
From the EE community ref 5.1.1 OTA.

And the latest news is that it should be midnight today, in 10k batches.

Fingers crossed!

EDIT: This is not a guarantee, as we are relying on outside information - if anyone starts to see updates, please post here to let us (and everyone else) know! Smiley Happy
[Galaxy S6 General] FSOP:
Believe it when I see it, EE said it was released 2 weeks ago and was being rolled out, but Samsung didn't even have it. I pressed the guys in the Samsung shop about it who said they'd pass it up the chain, maybe they did, and maybe my persistence paid off :D We'll see tomorrow I guess.
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Your CSC change to the French one, I thought you normally had to factory reset to get it to carry on using OTA updates?
[Galaxy S6 General] maverick1103:
There's nothing on Samfirmware so I don't believe it.
[Galaxy S6 General] daleski75:
Keep checking www.samsung-updates.com there has been a few more firmware releases for the S6 for other parts of the world so they are still coming out and if memory serves me correctly the OTA will be out before the full firmware as well.
[Galaxy S6 General] maverick1103:
Ok thanks, though I can't actually see a section for firmwares that works, the OTA list displays nothing ?
[Galaxy S6 General] daleski75:
Try this one :)

I don't hold my breath either for EVR hell even XEU/BTU is taking its sweet time coming out. Tried to flash XEF again yesterday over BTU but just get boot loops and don't want to factory reset the phone again.
[Galaxy S6 General] mauley:
Strange. I was able to flash XEF over BTU without clean flashing.
[Galaxy S6 General] Simzy332:
My s6 sim free from carphone warehouse still stuck on 5.0.2 CSC according to dialler code says xeu getting nothing offered ota ? starting to think I'm gonna be stuck on it forever
[Galaxy S6 General] episode96:
That's a bit odd, isn't it? My S6 is also XEU and I got the OTA update about a month ago now...
[Galaxy S6 General] Simzy332:
Really?huh yes very odd indeed I wonder if they stopped pushing it until they have fixed bugs in 5.1.1 hope that's the case if not then I'm at a loss to wtf going on
[Galaxy S6 General] cnutt1:
Slimzy I'm same boat but with three xxu ,I sent 2 faulty s6 back on 5.1 third s6 is great but stuck on 5,0,2 hope its as you say bug fixes
[Galaxy S6 General] mauley:
Samsung are about to give our UK carriers a headache.

http://www.androidcentral.com/samsu...urity-updates-every-month-its-android-devices

Also a lot of patches are coming to fix the Stagefright exploit in the Android OS. Apprently this exploit has been around since Android 2.2
[Galaxy S6 General] episode96:
Yes, I got it on the 11th of July to be precise, so not a month ago now but close. I bought my S6 from Amazon UK if that makes any difference.
[Galaxy S6 General] midreestaj:
OTA update to 5.1.1 has started to roll out for G920F BTU :D
[Galaxy S6 General] cnutt1:
Guys sorry for the noon question where do I get the software code I think I'm xxu on three but that may be wrong I'm seeing no sign of an update though my last two faulty s6 upgraded to 5.1.1

Guys sorry for the noob question but where do I find the software code? I think I'm on xxu on three but could be wrong .I'm seeing no sign of a software update though two previous faulty s6 did upgrade to 5.1.1 thanks a lot
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Bloody hell. Haha. Waited all that time for it, flashed EVR yesterday in the end. Knew this would happen!

Updating BTU ota [emoji3]
[Galaxy S6 General] @home:
Do we know whats in the update?
[Galaxy S6 General] maverick1103:
Only thing I've noticed so far is the auto restart option under 'Backup and reset' settings.
[Galaxy S6 General] Tonesav:
On the EVR one the Wi-Fi calling does not click on calls any more
[Galaxy S6 General] Simzy332:
Hi can someone offer me some help plz?just flashed btu over xeu all gone well but now the samsung info app says FW CSC BTU in the active CSC code says XEU/BTU phone dialler code *#1234#* says CSC BTU.so can someone tell me if that's all correct now to still receive BTU ota updates?
[Galaxy S6 General] Painman1963:
There's nothing 'Wrong' with your setup but if you want OTA's you'll have to do a full wipe and your Active CSC will become BTU. Then future BTU OTA's will come to your device. If you can't live with a full wipe then you'll have to manually update using Odin. I hope that helps
[Galaxy S6 General] Simzy332:
Thanks mate did a reset and got offered another update straight after lol
[Galaxy S6 General] @home:
Thanks.

Not sure why you'd want to keep restarting your phone but hey.
[Galaxy S6 General] maverick1103:
I always restart my phone at least once a week, I think it's good practice and solves issues.
[Galaxy S6 General] phochiom:
Anyone on H3G tried flashing BTU? What's your experience?

Cheers
[Galaxy S6 General] cnutt1:
Phochiom I spoke to three and they said we'd have the update by end of next week

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Dear Chrisnutt,

Three: Rach has just posted the following in the "Samsung S6 post 5.1.1 update ." thread, in the Three forum:

"Morning Chrisnutt, we were waiting on an update from our Devices Team. They've confirmed that you should expect to receive this update by the end of next week. Give me a shout here if you need anything else!"
[Galaxy S6 General] phochiom:
Good to hear. I will wait until next week then.

Cheers cnutt1
[Galaxy S6 General] cnutt1:
Anytime fingers crossed
[Galaxy S6 General] cnutt1:
Phochiom I had the update today so hope you do too
[Galaxy S6 General] phochiom:
Thanks, downloading as I type this.
[Galaxy S6 General] EddyOS:
This is going to sound dumb, but should the S6 come with the quick charger? I've got a BTU handset (supplied by Mobile Phones Direct) and only just noticed it's not the quick charger...not bothered per se but I'd like to have it for resale purposes
[Galaxy S6 General] balb0wa73:
I posted about this before from mobile phones direct, the day i got mine in June, i noticed straight away, i went on twitter and fb and kicked off, they sent me the right quick charger the next day.

I got to keep the slooooow one as well.
[Galaxy S6 General] EddyOS:
Yeah thought I saw something like that. I got it at the beginning of July and never looked until the other day...
[Galaxy S6 General] balb0wa73:
I also told samsung as well, they weren't bothered.
[Galaxy S6 General] ozzyita:
Hi guys, where can I find the latest btu firmware?
[Galaxy S6 General] EddyOS:
Use SamFirm and get it yourself!
[Galaxy S6 General] ady_seray:
How's performance on latest firmware?
[Galaxy S6 General] maverick1103:
I'd say 110% better, barely any lag with better battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] EddyOS:
Anyone tried the new XEF update on their UK model, specifically on Three? Fancying trying it but not if 3/4G won't work
[Galaxy S6 General] maxal:
Hi I have been using it for 6 days now and I really like it my original firmware is BTU UK
[Galaxy S6 General] phochiom:
Any bloatware compared to BTU?
[Galaxy S6 General] maxal:
I think there was a couple of bloat apps that's all.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dr.Paul:
I'm using it on o2 and tried on ee and no problems
[Galaxy S6 General] EddyOS:

barclays app

hi all,

uk s6 edge user, but i won't be much longer if i dont sort this out.

managed to upset my device by flashing the wrong rom on it trying to put cyanogenmod on it. i know, should have checked compatability first.

got the original firmware back on it, so roughly a vanilla device, can't get barclays app to run, it thinks its rooted.

so question. is there a way to get barclays running on the phone? i don't believe it to be rooted anymore, but not sure how to tell without installing a rooting app and checking.

side question. anyone runnig a good custom ROM that allows barclays?
[Galaxy S6 General] droid_1989:
Anyone have Google Pay working.

I'm on Xtrestolite i'm able to open the app, also on the latest play services version, but when I go to add a card, I get a play services crashed - i'm trying to figure out if it's the rom or the fact it's not available in the UK yet...
[Galaxy S6 General] Outcasst:
I'm completely stock and it's happening to me, so it's probably a region related issue.
[Galaxy S6 General] mimo2008:
I'm on standard s6 latest update but still don't have google pay
[Galaxy S6 General] Audioboxer:
Getting my S6 today :D Opted to upgrade to it over my S5 instead of the new Nexus 5. Prefer the smaller form factor and the OLED screen. Hope we see Cyanogenmod one day, but we have some great devs making TW better for now. Samsung do post their sources right, so is it just enxyos is a ***** to work with that stifles CM?
[Galaxy S6 General] bobbo888:
Hi, could anyone with a black 128gb S6 (not Edge) let me know what rear camera sensor they have? You can check by typing the code *#34971539# in the dialler, then hitting ISP VER CHECK. If it doesn't say Sony under "Rear Camera", you have the (arguably inferior) Samsung Icocell sensor. Just wondering if there are any black 128gb UK S6’s with the Sony sensor out there.
[Galaxy S6 General] bobbo888:
Hi, did you get your 128gb black S6 in the end? If you did, could you check what camera sensor you have? (See my previous post if you don't know how.) Even if you got yours from Germany, I'd still be interested to see what sensor you have - that goes for anyone else who got a European (UK or otherwise) 128gb black S6. [MENTION=2855103]hunhool[/MENTION] did you say you ordered this model?
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
Yes, I got it, and couldn't be happier with it :)

So, I don't have ISP VER CHECK in the menu, but I have a PHONE/CAM FW VER CHECK

This is what it says:

So I don't know what sensor I have, but I'm very happy with the camera which I used as my main camera for a 3 weeks holidays in Greece recently, very nice pictures.
[Galaxy S6 General] hunhool:
whhhh,ordered and cancelled,not interested to use it at all.
[Galaxy S6 General] bobbo888:
Fair enough!

Thanks for the reply, glad to hear that! Ah the 5.1.1. update removed the isp ver check for some reason. If you download AIDA64 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.finalwire.aida64&hl=en), a hardware and software info app, then go to "Devices" it should tell you.
[Galaxy S6 General] bobbo888:
Or if you have a file explorer e.g. ES File Explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en), under "Device" you can browse to the path /sys/devices/virtual/camera/rear/ then click on "rear_camtype" and open it as a text file with the "HTMLViewer".

I'd really appreciate it if you could find out what sensor you have, thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] Laverson:
I'm running a 920F on Wanamlite (Q017) with Arter97 latest test kernel. My location is always pretty inaccurate , as in it will say I'm somewhere in Germany rather than in the UK. If I use an app like GPS Fix to reset the AGPS settings it will more or less find me but it always reverts back to somewhere in Germany within minutes so I have to reset the AGPS settings again. I had the same thing on the latest Version of Xtrestolite, only it was placing me somewhere in Columbia. I tried the Note 5 ROM too and that did similar.

I'm not sure if it's GPS related or not because when I switch to just WIFI and data location it does the same thing.

My question is, does any one else on any of these ROMs have this issue or is it because of the bootloader/modem version I'm running?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Galaxy S6 General] daleski75:
My phone and my Wife's does the same and it's very annoying.
[Galaxy S6 General] bobbo888:
[MENTION=5746456]Protagoras[/MENTION] I presume from your silence you have the Isocell sensor. Ah well, I'm still yet to find a 128gb black European S6 with the Sony sensor...
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
Ah yes sorry, I've been busy. Yes indeed, it is the Isocell sensor. To be honnest, I'm perfectly happy with it, it takes pictures similar or better than my friends' iPhones in all situations.
[Galaxy S6 General] bobbo888:
No problem - thanks for confirming. Yeah, for a phone it looks like a great camera nonetheless, glad you're happy with it!
[Galaxy S6 General] mimo2008:
Hi all

Just wondering has anyone had a problem listening to music whilst opening an app?

Basically i was listen to tune in radio and I have an app called barclays bank ping it i opened it up to pay for lottery and it cut music for a few seconds everytime I clicked on buttons in the app so I tried using the inbuilt music player thinking it could be my Internet but same thing happened.

Anyone else has this problem.
[Galaxy S6 General] Rahulg247:
Anyone got any experience in buying one of these from bespoke offers using beat my price?

They are offering a good price but the merchant seems to be based in Hong Kong (ValueBasket) - does anyone know if the warranty would be valid in the UK if they ship the phone over from Hong Kong?
[Galaxy S6 General] lucianus_luciferus:

I have a UK S6 and I was wondering if anyone got the new G920FXXU3COI9 update. Anyone?
[Galaxy S6 General] mimo2008:
Not yet I'm on btu and no update just as yet
[Galaxy S6 General] emmanuelkeyz:
I'm on BTU as well but I've now come to understand that XEF is a multiregion ROM so I always use Odin to Flash new XEF roms but I remain on BTU as my CSC doesn't change...So yes I have the new update...
[Galaxy S6 General] phochiom:
Do you get OTAs if you flash XEF and living in UK? I'm on 3 and have H3G firmware. Still reluctant to flash XEF, but very tempted.
[Galaxy S6 General] emmanuelkeyz:
Nope I don't get OTA's for the XEF Rom but if a newer BTU Rom comes out then I receive OTA for that! Again this is because my CSC remains BTU. I'm on 3 Network and originally had the H3G Firmware but I was tired of waiting weeks or months for newer software so I changed my firmware to BTU :)
[Galaxy S6 General] phochiom:
I'll stay with H3G, especially with the new update that brought clear voice on calls (VOLTE?). Battery is good as well. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] terracuk:
For anyone on EE UK there's a 211.83 mb update OTA i'm downloading now..

Edit: EE UK have updated my standard S6 today to

build LMY47X.G920FXXU2QOI4

Baseband: G920FXXU2QOI1

Edge updates to:

Baseband Version G925FXXU2QOI1

Build Number LMY47X. G925FXXU2QOI4
[Galaxy S6 General] lucianus_luciferus:
same here. also this update installs ms word, excell and powerpoint but you can disable them.

the most important thing is that this update installs the stagefright patch.

we are safe now [emoji7] [emoji1]
[Galaxy S6 General] mimo2008:
Has anyone on BTU got that small update yet for better battery performance.

Hi all

OK so now I need help.

Ok this is what happens when I'm on my phone and click on any app sometimes for some unknown reason internet opens up on a page saying congratulations you're a winner off an iPhone etc.

I have tried to turn phone off and on it still happens tried bitdefender scan all clear tried malware cleaner no problems also everytime i do a scan it shows I got antutu 64bit installed even thou i uninstalled it and can't seem to find a folder off it anywhere.

If you have had this problem and fixed it could you let me know thx.
[Galaxy S6 General] Horridge:
You sure you're not selecting an advert within an app?
[Galaxy S6 General] Leights1978:
Mimo, Are u using chrome?? If so, this may work on other browsers too, clear the cache on the app and reboot. Might help clear a page u once visited.
[Galaxy S6 General] mimo2008:
Hi guys thx for advice first of all it seems to pop on any app I press.

I have done a clear cache from soft reset I'm doing a clear cache now on Internet don't have chrome.

What still annoys me is that I have deleted antutu 64bit folder from my phone then restarted my phone when I done a system scan still showing a folder for antutu even thou for the life of me can't seem to find one in hidden folders etc.

Need some help removing the O2-UK carrier branding from my G920F S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
I think the only way to do this is to change the boot.img in the firmware file. You can extract the file and replace the boot.img and then repack to .pit file. Not 100% sure but seems the logical way to do it. I've got o2 branded s6 too.
[Galaxy S6 General] MeltdownSpectre:
Lol thanks for replying but my problem has been solved.

I didn't have to change anything, downloaded a firmware with a Pakistan CSC, flashed it through Odin, booted into recovery and wiped data, then rebooted.

Worked with the first attempt. :D

No more O2 branding.
[Galaxy S6 General] trancem:
Yeah definitely, that would be my best bet. not sure where my nearest samsung experience store is tbh, will have to have a look.

Thanks for your help mate
[Galaxy S6 General] Protagoras:
I already ordered several phones from Amazon.de and had no complaint at all, everything went smoothly and the phones were the exact equivalent of the ones I would have had in the UK (except for the charger plug which was European 2 pins). And don't forget you can always send it back to Amazon if there's any problem. I was also in contact with their support guys, and they do speak English in emails (I don't speak German) so no problem on this side.

As was stated above, your firmware will be the German version, which should be exactly the same as the UK one: the only differences might be the OTA updates dates, but if that bothers you, you can flash the UK version on the phone using ODIN, it's not difficult at all and there are tutorials to do so. It won't trip KNOX security flag, and it won't void any warranty. I wouldn't bother doing it though, as I said the firmware should be the same.

And obviously, as the phone is not from a carrier, it will be SIM-unlocked for all carriers and will work with 3 (or any other carrier)

Bottom line: do it, there is no reason not to! (I did)
[Galaxy S6 General] DanGlee:
Thanks. I was aware of the plug, thats not an issue. It was more so the warranty if there are any troubles and the updates.

The last time I flashed a ROM was on a HTC Touch Diamond many moons ago. I've been on Apple since this and this is my first time giving Android a go. I'm gonna do it! Wish me luck (the next hurdle will be figuring out Android and how it works and transfering everything over! ;)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] tanv28:
S6 edge is back in stock at samsung uk website but with shipping of 24th.

I had pre ordered from .de but am cancelling that.

Would rather just take the price hit and get it from a uk site even if shipping is later.

I'm wondering if the quick charge capability will work best with the official samsung charger. If so, that might sway some to stick with a uk purchase?
[Galaxy S6 General] gavinfabl:
Amazon have one of the best after sales service. As mentioned, only difference will be fast charger being 2 pins more than likely. I have had the LG G3 32gb version with no issues in the past.
[Galaxy S6 General] DanGlee:
Does it come with the fast charger? I assumed this was an after market piece of equipment which I could get in the UK if I wanted one?
[Galaxy S6 General] Bilhouse:
Yes you will be able to purchase the UK Galaxy S6 charger separately from places such as MobileFun etc. I would rather pay £20-30 for that, compared to the £70-100 difference in price. On top of that some models aren't even able to order yet in the UK like the 64GB S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktivo:
Hi, no charger was offered.
[Galaxy S6 General] D15:
You need to register your order on Samsung's website (under promotions) to get one. You get the free charger from Samsung if you're ordering before April 30th, not from the shop or provider.
[Galaxy S6 General] uktivo:
Dont suppose you have any link for that as I can't find anything on the samsung site..
[Galaxy S6 General] uktechguru:
Yeah definitely. You're welcome mate. I haven't been yet but might do soon.
[Galaxy S6 General] D15:
Ah sorry, I think it doesn't apply for the UK, which is strange. I checked the UK website and the offer wasn't there.

Looks like the offers differ from country to country. The free charger offer applies in Germany and the Netherlands for example, but can't find it on the UK or France website.

If you end up buying the phone from Germany or the Netherlands though you have to register on Samsung's website before April 10th to get the free charger.

I.e. in Italy if you want to apply for the free wireless charger promotion you have to register an IMEI of an Italian S6.

I was under the impression that the fast charger is the stock charger that comes with all S6s.

[edit] found the source http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6-review-1227p2.php

"Fast chargers are a bit more common but by no means widespread. The Galaxy S6 has one in the box so you don't have to spend extra."
