Viber lost contacts

Guys, is there another secret update? Suddenly my viber contacts are gone. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
There's no such thing as a secret update. The problem is with your Viber app, not the phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] epictool:
Go sms is not working for me. How about you guys? I cannt send sms
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
This is so weird. How come that the latest firmware update is for 5.0.2???
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
I forgot to mention it that after the 5.1 update, fingerprint unlock now works flawlessly. I used to hate it but now it's great!

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

Huh? It says 5.1
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
Look at the screenshots attached on my post..

Whats your sms messager guys? Dual sim
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Oh lol. They switched the timestamp.
[Galaxy S6 General] saprowling:
Hi Guys. Got a Duos from Globe. How do you restrict the background data? There's no option in the data usage part.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
In the data usage part, the upper right part there is a menu toggle.
[Galaxy S6 General] saprowling:
It's not showing there. The only thing i get from the menu is the restrict network. And I dont have the toggles for mobile data and limit data.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
You can further control network data by using a firewall.
[Galaxy S6 General] epictool:
Guys pa help naman.

What sms application are you guys using? It seems gosms is not working well with 5.1.1 it cant send sms on my s6 dual sim
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Go to data usage and click on more to restrict data usage. Make sure to toggle your mobile data to on in the quick settings panel. You should get something like this
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Try the Stock messages app. If you still can't send your sms', call your network provider for assistance.
[Galaxy S6 General] saprowling:
Apparently, the data toggle in the settings does not show. I dont have the option to toggle data and limit the data.
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Even in the quick settings panel? Are you still on 5.0.2 by any chance? If yes and, Samsung made a fix for this. You can download the app in the Samsung app store.
[Galaxy S6 General] saprowling:
I have the toggle in the quick settings in the notification panel and the option in the power options. But none in the data usage settings.
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Is your mobile data turned on?
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Also, go to settings > Sim card manager > set data service network to Sim 1

Hi,

howcome my s6 duos from globe is still on 5.0.1 and when i look for the software update, the prompt says that I am running the latest version?

did you guys receive the update OTA? or did you manually flash it?
[Galaxy S6 General] ysmaelthomas:
Hello mga ka-XDA! Just curious.. Who among you guys flashed a custom rom/kernel already?
[Galaxy S6 General] cricodul:
Hello can use the 5.1.1 update here even if i don't have the same build number? I seem to have the 1AODI one. (In both pda and csc) Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S6 General] Justinhopaolo:
im using the sm g920f duos variant of the S6, is there a way to flash a 'non-duos' official firmware to get rid of the sim icon and dual sim functionality of the unit without having side effects? I just want a normal galaxy s6.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Yes, you can use it. Flash away bro.

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 AM ----------

You ca only flash G920F roms which work both for G920F and G920FD.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

You will trip Knox by doing this and voids your warranty.
[Galaxy S6 General] ysmaelthomas:
Yea! I know this already.. Wasn't asking what will happen to my device when i rooted..
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Just a warning. There is no going back after flashing custom roms.;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Justinhopaolo:
So the double sim feature can be removed?
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
One cannot remove the dual SIM feature if the G920FD.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Why not just remove the other sim card? Feature removed! Pl
[Galaxy S6 General] Justinhopaolo:
I just hate the sim icon on the status bar.
[Galaxy S6 General] cricodul:
:confused: Sorry I'm a bit of a newb but, will this trip knox? Tyia!
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Its stock ROM so it does not trip Knox.
[Galaxy S6 General] ysmaelthomas:
Yeap.

Yup! Thanks for the heads up! I'm willing to void the warranty for the betterment of my expirience with this phone though! But after some reading and lurking in our sub forum, i can see that the dev scene is fairly young with it. I think that it's right to wait this off and let it grow more before joining the dark side.

Coming from a Nexus 5 to a OnePlus One, i'm not used to not rooting my phone. I miss greenify with Xposed >.<

Globe s6-g920f after unlocked no mobile data, help

HI, i recently unlock my mobile (globe) Galaxy S6-G920f (dual sim) via a payed unlock service from a certain website. It was unlocked successfully and new network appear shortly, but without mobile data it means i cant receive an internet signal only call or text. I have notice this message in APN settings in which i cant add new APN setup "Unable to view the access point name settings. Access is restricted for the current user profile".

If anyone experience this feel free to share it before i flash any custom roms or root it, thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Try:

1. Going to recovery mode and wipe cache.

2. Going to Globe and ask for settings and enter it manually.

3. If on Android 5.1.1 try enabling screen lock.

4. Do full reset.

I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
This is the reason why I signed up for a one plus 2 invite. If I do manage to get one, I'd sell my s6 in a heartbeat. I miss custom roms and vanilla android too much. The s6 is my first Samsung phone and I really dislike this whole Knox thingy they implemented. As it is I'm having some problems with my unit (mushy, stuck power and volume buttons, compass is hit or miss) so I can't trip Knox yet till I get my phone checked out and possibly replaced by Samsung Phils.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jeffsandoval014:
I got the news here that s6 gets its first post 5.1.1 update, will PH users get this one too? Smoother and better battery according to the comments. How about s6 edge?
[Galaxy S6 General] louiemendoza:
Question.

Do you know an app that will recognize a number if its globe or smart or sun then it will choose either sim1 or sim2 to send the text or to call the number?

So we wont have to select everytime were sending a text or calling.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Based on the last updates, we get it 2 weeks late.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jeffsandoval014:
I already got my post 5.1.1 update. Better ram management. Wallpaper effect not working. Dont know about the battery yet. Feels smoother.
[Galaxy S6 General] Tricks25:
Hi there.

Also got the post 5.1.1 update from globe s6 edge (posting here on s6 forums because people are more active here :P)

Initial findings of mine include

- better ram management. I can keep more apps in memory compared to the previous builds but i think samsung could do better.

- way smoother. The lag when scrolling in my recents is gone and is smoother. Everything is better.

- Battery. Personally, i think my battery got better especially when using data. I am yet to observe if keeping data on at standby still drains the battery but afaik that is a lollipop bug. Sadly, the "greenify-like" option at battery is gone :(

For anyone who have change logs or discovered whats new on the rom kindly share to us.

Regard and let us enjoy our phone :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Jeffsandoval014:
That's what I was about to add, the auto kill option is gone. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
You mean they removed the close all?

I'm just getting the Ota now. Had to manual check even if it's on auto. On a s6 duos open line.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jeffsandoval014:
The auto stop option that was introduced in the 5.1.1 option. Close all was still there. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] j.go:
if you look at smart manager>ram, there is a new tab. manage apps. there is a bit of text that seems to describe the functionality of the previous task killer. however, I have no idea how to add apps to that list. just updated now so I'll have to tinker around a bit.
[Galaxy S6 General] cricodul:
Anyone having wifi issue? Where the phone disconnects and freezes for a second or two then reconnects again?
[Galaxy S6 General] deee-deee:
video player

hi is there an auto play next button in VIDEO PLAYER of s6?
[Galaxy S6 General] Tricks25:
Ok. So the auto kill option was not removed after all.

It was just moved from the battery settings to the smart manager app > manage apps

Good find sir j.go

Cheers :)

new update

Hey guys, i got a new update on my phone something like 233mb. I notice after the update. I have a better ram management. Not sure about battery life. But it looks battery is more efficient. Pls post if have the update.
[Galaxy S6 General] bimmerboii:
Quick question guys. My dad's S6 is from globe. There's an "imo" chat app. Is that bloat/pre installed? He said he doesn't recall installing it
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
To those who got their S6 edge from Globe, what is the latest firmware as of the moment?
[Galaxy S6 General] Tricks25:
Yeah the update was available a few days ago. Ram management did improve as well as battery and smoothness as per my experience.

Thats probably a bloatware.

I got BOGF as my latest firmware a few days ago.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
In terms of better ram management, how is the multitasking? Does it still kill apps that easily? How many apps can you run at the same time?
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
I just updated to the latest firmware(G925FXXU2BOGF). And I can confirm, Samsung has finally addressed the aggressive ram issue.. happy consumer here..
[Galaxy S6 General] deee-deee:
please i hope i can get a reply

just want to ask if theres an auto play next button in video player

in galaxy s6? thanks so much

after the software update of my s6 edge(globe line) it keeps restarting(boot loop). Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S6 General] marsen2567:
Guys, update this thread if you have received the stagefright fix update, I think it's about 55 mb.. My G920FD is rooted, I only rely on this thread for the update and my non rooted edge haven't received the update yet.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 PM ----------

Download this latest firmware: http://samsung-updates.com/details/49512/Galaxy_S6_Edge/SM-G925F/GLB/G925FXXU2BOGF.html

Flash it with Odin 3.10.6.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
What's a stage fright fix?
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
My S6 edge is currently running this firmware.. this seems to address the aggressive ram issue from the previous firmwares.
[Galaxy S6 General] marsen2567:
Be very afraid, mate. It's very serious. Samsung-US Carriers android phones are already receiving the updates as of now. Nexus phones already patched it. This is what the vulnerability can do to your phone:

http://fortune.com/2015/07/28/stagefright-google-android-security/

It almost pretty much answers your questions about the vulnerability of the media partition.

[Galaxy S6 General] Nickjg11:
Had this problem before. Fixed by flashing stock openline firmware. Make sure to wipe data. Now I can use LTE on both Sims, add APN, etc.

New S6 user!

Hey there folks. So I just got myself an S6(Yeahh. I know I'm late for the party). What's the latest firmware at the moment? I'm using a duos variant(SM-G920FD) and I think from what I've read here is that you can use the SM-G920F version. :good:

EDIT: Hmm.. I think my phone has the latest version(07-01-2015). Is this the latest?
[Galaxy S6 General] laborer1008:
big thank you for this. :good:

will try flashing openline firmware and see if its ok. :cool:

[Galaxy S6 General] oneplusammy:
Hello all,

Got my s6 (G920I) from Ebay last Thursday and it only took a day before I rooted, flashed TWRP and went custom rom. Like they say, once you go custom, you'll never go back :) Currently running XtreSoLite, and so far it seems stable enough, although now the model number of the phone says SM-G925F.

But coming from a OnePlus 1, (also had a rooted customized Note 2) I'm already missing the vanilla android experience (although this TWiz seems light enough). I haven't come across any AOSP roms for the GS6 that are close to stock - are there any?

Glad I found this community!

Stock Firmware Question

Hello, I hope someone can help with this:

My phone's current CSC code is XSP/BTU (Singapore/UK Ireland) Can I change to the CSC specific to the Philippines (XTC) without risk of hardbrick? I'll be using ODIN to install firmware for Philippines? Thanks much! :)
[Galaxy S6 General] jvrey:
Download the XTC firmware and flash it on your device. Be sure the wipe data/factory reset your phone first.
[Galaxy S6 General] oneplusammy:
Wipe/Reset before flashing new FW? But doesn't ODIN reset/wipe the phone for you when you use it to flash FW's?

Anyway, I tried installing the XTC FW using ODIN but it would fail. Tried a couple of time, no success.

Will re-download the FW (maybe it was a bad download).

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] jvrey:
No, Odin does not reset or wipe the data for you. You have to Factory Reset your device to achieve that. It is always better to wipe your your data first before flashing a new firmware.

What was the error?
[Galaxy S6 General] oneplusammy:
So, I factory reset, shut down, enter into download mode, flash XTC FW?

Sorry, I didn't make a note of the error. I'm trying out a custom rom at the moment. I'll switch back to stock soon enough and update here.

Thanks for the help. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] laborer1008:
flashed xtc fw then factory reset, but still one sim greyed out as gsm only (no data) - same as in glb fw. looks like xtc and glb firmwares are the same? they have the same builddate/changelist/pda/csc.. :confused::confused::confused:

[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Is it just me or Asia will be the last to get the coh2/9 update? T.T
[Galaxy S6 General] jvrey:
My S6 (Stock TW 5.1.1; unroot) is from Globe but I have successfully unlocked it. Below are the steps that I took:

Bought the network unlock code from one of the unlocking services in the internet.

Turned-off my device and inserted a foreign SIM (Smart) in SIM1; leave SIM2 empty.

There will be a prompt that will require the network code; input your network unlock code.

There should be a prompt that you have successfully unlocked the device.

Should be able to acquire signal or connectivity once unlocked.

*** THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL FACTORY RESET YOUR DEVICE ***

I changed my CSC to XTC (Open-line) from GLB (Globe) by dialing *#272#*SIM1 IMEI HERE#

Select XTC and click INSTALL

Phone reboots and resets to factory settings.

Turn-off the device and put your main carrier's SIM in slot 1 and any foreign SIM in slot 2 to check.

So right now, SIM1 and SIM2 accepts any SIM. In addition, SIM2 can acquire HPSA+ data connection. I hope this can you or anyone from this thread.
[Galaxy S6 General] laborer1008:
thanks jvrey. but the droid in me had me flashing xef fw/coh2 update, courtesy of sammobile and odin...:o

both sims now open for call/txt/data for globe/smart. no issues yet, hopefully none. will observe the next few days...:D

coh2 has less bloatware and parallax is back. also, feels like better ram/battery use...:)

can flash back to xtc/glb should there be issues, but for now...:cool:

smart s6 duo sim locks

all samsung phones are now region locked. if you have the s6 duo you have to make 5 or 10 minutes phone call to unlock the other sim. example. if you have smart s6 make a 5 min phone call using the smart sim and then insert another sim in other tray.globe sim. wait to see if it connects to network. if not make another 5 min phone call using smart sim. and sim 2 will work. samsung adopted this to stop importing of foreign phones from different regions. philippines is the asia region. uk is the europe region. etc...... you get my drift.
[Galaxy S6 General] jvrey:
Yes, I believe it is unlocked starting the OGF update. However, even if it is unlocked, SIM2 will not get any data connectivity based on my experience. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] babycastle:
Jvrey, where did you buy your unlocking code. My unit which is from globe was sim unlocked after the latest update, but the data only works for globe.

[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Has anybody here got the new update already?
[Galaxy S6 General] laborer1008:
looked really good, until I flashed back to glb to check if local coh2 is now available. found that csc now stuck at thl (Thailand), even after a couple of reflashing to xtc/glb then wipe/reset..:confused:

now trying to find my way back..
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Could you check if there's an update already? I know THL has a newer firmware than xtc, glb and sma.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Only way to go back is to root...?

How to enable mobile date after unlocking

Hello, after 2 tries with different unlocking websites, "theunlockingcompany" was able to unlock my Samsung S6 Duos (SM-G920FD) from Globe, but i can only unlock Sim 1 since Sim 2 accepts any sim card, the problem is that Mobile Data is locked to Globe only, I wanted to use Smart since its LTE. How do I unlock Sim 2 or how do i enable mobile data to work with Smart? Thanks.

Its flying alright. :D cheers

Afaik no other way but root.

I was using nova for a few years. But i just felt that when opening apps theres a slight delay compared to other launchers even touchwiz launcher. Kinda annoying for me really. But customization is plenty. Im using action launcher 3 btw.

We all do. But later firmwares improved multi tasking but still closes apps more aggressive compared to other phones. Root is the only way of fixing it afaik. Cheers.
