I've been running 5.1.1 since end of June and all is well. Just no fingerprint scanner since bootloader is still 5.0.2

Hola

I can attest to this that XtreStoLite 2.2 is awesome with the Alliance framework... it has the majority of the tweaks and options that I usually look for in custom ROMs. I honestly find this better than ARCADIA 4 but I still like that at least we have two ROMs that we can play with.

Sucks to not be able to use the fingerprint though...

Wind Mobile update inbound...363 mbs
[Galaxy S6 General] -Mr. X-:
Guys pull these ota's from your cache partition i'm interested to see what they are patching.
[Galaxy S6 General] devillblood:
So been reading through this thread, recently got a S6 Edge from Wind, using it on Bell. i noticed that even though I did a factory reset using bell sim, there was no LTE. I then tried flashing Bell stock rom through ODIN in hopes of getting LTE and that seemed to have worked until I did a reboot of the phone. LTE was gone again. I then found out that I can adjust the band settings by going to *#2263# I believe it was. That seemed to have worked but when making phone calls, Data switches to 3G (which again is fine, at least I am getting LTE). I recently did an update that I received on the phone about 30 mins ago and it seems that the *#2263# code isn't working anymore. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Cheers
[Galaxy S6 General] flexfulton:
Not sure on the code thing but all phones will drop to 3G when receiving or making a call. That's normal.
[Galaxy S6 General] devillblood:
This is interesting. I had a M8 before on Rogers, used it on Rogers and Bell but saw no change. Perhaps it was a glitch in the software. Thanks for the response man. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] flexfulton:
Well I may be wrong. It's been a few years but I remember discussing this with someone else before and I'm pretty sure I tried it out and watched and it always dropped to 3g as a call came in.

Maybe someone else can confirm.

Once it's been installed does it get deleted?

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

No 5.1.1 on Rogers. Still at 5.0.2 with a build number of LRX22.G920W8VLU2AOG2 after the update.

Update, it's nothing more than a "StageFright" fix. http://mobilesyrup.com/2015/08/05/stagefright-canada/
[Galaxy S6 General] evonc:
This is because VO-LTE is not supported currently on most devices. LTE is deployed as a data only protocol so the phone has to switch to 3G which supports the voice protocol. Once your voice call is finished, the phone will automatically switch back to LTE.

Try to change the networks setting that worked for me
[Galaxy S6 General] lizaSB:
Anyone willing to dump the modem (and if possible, bootloader)?
[Galaxy S6 General] oxxshadow:
Whats is the general consensus with our Canadian S6? Anyone regret the buy? Is the lag and memory management so bad? I can get a brand new S6 for 500, which is kinda tempting. Part of me wants the phone since it probably holds the most value of any other android phone in the case I switch to new Nexus down the road lol
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
I love it. You can fix the lag and memory management by modifying build.prop if it Really bugs you
[Galaxy S6 General] oxxshadow:
how about sluggishness and lag over time. In my experience. Touchwiz phones always start off fast, but slow down a few months down the road
[Galaxy S6 General] baconman4321:
Touch wiz slows down that updates are poison for any devices. They do it on purpose so you buy a new phone. Never had a better phone than the S6 but only when I changed to xtresolitle. It runs so good
[Galaxy S6 General] -Mr. X-:
I've got them and flashed them. seem to work as expected.

Let me know if you still need them.
[Galaxy S6 General] c_86:
they need to release 5.1.1 already... getting sick of nott having a fingerprint scanner
[Galaxy S6 General] lizaSB:
Would appreciate it! Seems the full firmware hadn't been posted yet as of last night
[Galaxy S6 General] -Mr. X-:
I've got the full firmware as well.

Here is the BL and modem
[Galaxy S6 General] Brava27:
Is this 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 General] -Mr. X-:
No, its 5.0.2 we were all talking about.
[Galaxy S6 General] jaxons@gmail.com:
Thanks, that's what I thought, but it's good to have it confirmed. I wish OTA updates contained a change list.
[Galaxy S6 General] creaturemachine:
I'm rather quite pleased that they've begun this kind of security patch process for older versions. No more waiting around for your carrier to add their crapware to new versions, leaving your phone with gaping 0-days all the while. Unfortunately it still seems the carriers reserve the right to test the updates, which is still problematic.
[Galaxy S6 General] virulentt:
Is the zip flashfire compatible?
[Galaxy S6 General] -Mr. X-:
No, I'd rather not put out a flash compatible boot loader. As it would flash to any device, so if a edge user grabbed it, it would brick them. However using odin and putting the BL in a tar protects the user from their selves if a mistake is made. As odin checks the Sboot to make sure it matches the target.

anyone preorder from Bell

Anyone else preorder from Bell? I did on the 23rd and got a text from them saying I could check my order status at bell.ca/devicestatus but the site won't even recognize my phone # or order #. Seems every other Canadian carrier at least gives their customers a clue as to what is going on.
[Galaxy S6 General] KarlDag:
I did too, on the 1st. The status stayed put for days, then on Monday it stayed the status (same one) had been updated on the 3rd, but now it's back to status updated on the 1st...

Bell has a very good network and my plan is decently priced but I have no expectations whatsoever concerning customer service in any way, shape or form. For all I know my local store probably has my phone already but no way to know...
[Galaxy S6 General] s7r1kr:
I reserved the white 32gb S6, and only had the option for an in-store pick up. Last time I ordered a phone from Rogers it took 2 days to get delivered to my house, so I'm pretty sure it'll be here by Friday. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
You can still get Rogers to mail a device to your home, but you can't set this up online. You have to call and set up your upgrade over the phone. They usually don't allow you to upgrade to a device before its release date, but I think it's up to the individual agent you get because I've heard claims of it happening.

If customers were willing to pay for the shipping themselves, I can't see why we don't get an online option to have reserved devices couriered directly to our homes. I'd have sprung for overnight shipping. :cool:
[Galaxy S6 General] Harrison_K:
Yeah, my reservation also updated to "in progress" as well, stating that shipping process has begun. I really hope that means I'll be here for the end of the week. My store is just down the street, so shipping it there isn't much more effort that shipping it to my house anyways.
[Galaxy S6 General] EnIXmA:
Just got a delivery confirmation..woo hoo.. I hope to get it by Friday :).. Bell's shipping warehouse is in Mississauga, and i live in Mississauga too. So I might get it by tomorrow

32 GB bell

Order date:- 11th march
[Galaxy S6 General] s7r1kr:
I had originally asked the rep if he could send me the phone and said that he was unable and that I would have to use their reservation system, he wasn't even able to give me pricing for plans. A while back I had pre-ordered the LG Optimus G and had it delivered to my home, apparently they don't do that anymore. But as you said it's probably dependent on the rep. Anyway the wait isn't too much longer as Friday is nearly here :victory:
[Galaxy S6 General] shollywood:
If you got delivery confirmation, doesn't it say when it's to arrive?

---------- Post added at 11:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

I pre-order over the phone weeks ago, they are sending to office direct, but they don't give any thing as far as confirmation or anything...
[Galaxy S6 General] EnIXmA:
Its being shipped by Canada post, and they don't have a delivery date on the tracking number..

went to a small Bell Kiosk in Winnipeg at a shopping mall

they had no preorders in person, but they will have S6's on friday morning available (shipment coming in Thursday) first come first serve

I think if im there in the morning, I should be able to nab one. heres hoping *fingers crossed*
[Galaxy S6 General] Firegrill:
Does anyone if there's any difference between the wind/rogers/bell, etc versions? Other than it being locked to the carrier.
[Galaxy S6 General] ex-28:
i'll be at the mall as well that morning . that is if your going to the same one i am k.p shhh dont tell everyone hehe , however i do have an s6 64 gig regular and a 64 gig edge on reserve comming in not sure what one i am taking home yet tho.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
I reserved my S6 (Edge) via Rogers and just a few minutes ago the tracking information was updated with a scheduled delivery date:

Great news! :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] R1CKJ4MES:
i had mine since the 7th from telus
[Galaxy S6 General] BrendenDonaher:

[Galaxy S6 General] htc fan89:
Like with the gs5, i think with gs6 it's going be one model for all canadian carriers. It just be locked to individual carriers. I might just outright buy it from telus, if wind doesn't have it tomorrow.
[Galaxy S6 General] Harrison_K:
for better or worse, it says something about the level of demand for the edge, at this point anyways. my s6 is still 'in progress', i really hope to see that shift today at some point... after 3 1/2 years with my galaxy nexus, this is torture.
[Galaxy S6 General] -Mr. X-:
No one is certain except samsung, but it goes with the BL, and most likely has something to do with the devices hardware encryption and knox abilities.
[Galaxy S6 General] C2Q:
Anyone know if the price cut for the S6 will be hitting Canada. I wanted to upgrade but it's so expensive. In fact Rogers actually raised their prices (wtf?). It was 199 a couple of weeks ago and now it's 249 for the 32 GB S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] BrendenDonaher:
The U.S dollar is the reason for the hike.

Sorry for bothering you again, I'm on a 5.1.1 ROM and i was wondering if i will be able to flash the full 5.0.2 firmware. I want the new radio/bootloader and try the 5.0.2 rom since 5.1.1 drains my battery a lot because im a different bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 General] evonc:
You should be able to flash the full factory image. I am running XtreStoLite 5.1.1 with the latest 5.0.2 bootloader and modem on the edge.

The updated bootloader in the latest OTA was still based on 5.0.2 so fingerprint reader support is still not present for 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] matus201:
So for us Canadians, there is no way to get fully functional 5.1.1 rom? Even if we are willing to trip knox?
[Galaxy S6 General] kevinsirohyeah:
Slightly functional in XtreStoLite 2.2, but not fully functional
[Galaxy S6 General] Brava27:
Not yet. Gotta wait. Only missing fingerprint scanner. No big deal.

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 PM ----------

Nothing to do with bootloader. I get good battery on 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] Odiumvex:
Anybody having trouble with Bell and getting MMS? I was on exolite or whatever for 2 months then suddenly I stopped getting MMS. Reverting to my stock bell backup fixes it but yeah :(
[Galaxy S6 General] oxxshadow:
Is stock ROM for Canadian S6 bad? In terms of fluidity and performance. I know of the RAM issue, but anything else I should know?
[Galaxy S6 General] baconman4321:
Battery life. I am using my phone since 5:30am and now is 21:00 and I am still at 60%. Which I don't have with stock. That's why I like a clean rom.
[Galaxy S6 General] GuberX:
Im still on 5.0.2 and get a full days use out of it, thats including some high graphic games and a lot of calls/emails/txts. Still stock rom, just has root with pingpong. Phones been off charge since 8am and its 9pm now with 48% batt left
[Galaxy S6 General] virulentt:
Good news for anyone who's scared of tripping knox due to samsung pay. I am able to use Desjardins Mobile Payment app with Root, custom recovery and Knox tripped. Pretty sure the CIBC app would work aswell.
[Galaxy S6 General] evonc:
And here I am stuck with Scotiabank with their app from the GB days with no mobile payment option or the ability to deposit cheques using a photo of the cheque.
[Galaxy S6 General] virulentt:
Like if you can't open a bank account somewhere else...
[Galaxy S6 General] evonc:
I could, but that involves more work just to get everything setup all over again. Oddly enough, Scotiabank did update their mobile payment system support for a few phones and added some last gen Samsung phones only to conveniently leave out the current gen models.
[Galaxy S6 General] c_86:
i am having a similar issues... i can send, but not receive... i get a message saying storage is full and is being automatically deleted... then i get a msg from virgin, saying that its out of my handsets capabilities...

i have called virgin with no help... wiped etc nothing... only thing i havent done was go back to complete stock to see if its a carrier issue or what....

let me know if you find out a resolution... my next step is to replace the SIM and see if that helps...
[Galaxy S6 General] Negan:
Decided to trade my G4 for an S6 yesterday since LG lied about giving us bootloader unlock and I'm not waiting 6 months for a hack. Anyway I've been away from Samsung devices for more than a year so I'm gonna have to play catch up. One thing I see in the rom threads is that in the instructions they all mention to enable oem unlock in developer options which is standard for lollipop. However I don't have this option in my developer options. Is this something that all Canadian devices are missing? I was able to root and get twrp just fine last night but I figure this would be a good place to check
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
Only for 5.1.1

[Galaxy S6 General] evonc:
The only thing I can remember is checking the SMSC number in Phone Info. You'll need to get into the phone info menu by dialing *#*#4636#*#* , selecting phone information and then scrolling all the way to the botton. If you press Refresh beside SMSC, it should update.

Incase the code doesn't work through dialer, you'll have to get this app and then go into secret codes menu and launch it from there using root. There will be an error that shows up when you open up that tab, simply press ok and tap anywhere on the screen to make it active. Then scroll down and launch using root. Regular launch/dialer launch will fail. Sammy changed something in 5.1.1 and it's not working for a lot of users. I know it doesn't work on the edge with xtrestolite 5.1.1 .

Once the SMSC number populates, it should be this value - "+17057969300",145

If it is not that value, enter +17057969300 and press update. Once you press update, it should match the value posted above. That may fix the issue. I had a similar issue with SMS not sending and it was related to the SMSC number being changed after flashing.
[Galaxy S6 General] Odiumvex:
Thank you!! This worked
[Galaxy S6 General] baconman4321:
I have a problem after updating to steroids. ... it doesn't let's me play slow motion video
[Galaxy S6 General] Odiumvex:
K phone won't send sms now
[Galaxy S6 General] evonc:
Are you with Rogers? I had assumed you were. The SMSC number is different for each carrier and you should be able to find it by a Google search.

Here are some common ones:

1. Bell- +14382762000 (unconfirmed)

2. Telus- +16475800172

3. Rogers- +17057969300

4. Wind- +16135009000

If the number doesn't work, simply call Bell and they should be able to provide you the SMSC number. Alternatively, you can pop the sim card into another phone and access the phone info menu, press refresh and it should show you the correct number.

For MMS, check your apn that you have set and make sure it is correct. That could cause issues if you can send/receive text messages fine but mms is not working.

[Galaxy S6 General] evonc:
You know it's bad when even Verizon users have the update before us.
[Galaxy S6 General] brigon:
But Verizon and other users still have problems after the update. The Canadian carriers seem to be trying to get a better quality update, which will take time due to those knuckleheads at Samsung.

Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Bosnia Herzegovina, Iraq, Cyprus, Iran, Nigeria and Kenya all have the 5.1.1 update.

You have a better chance of having a limb blown off by an IED than to be wealthy enough to own an S6 in many of these countries.
[Galaxy S6 General] gp-se:
this is my first and last Samsung phone. I've owned iPhones before this and love that apple supports its products by releasing bug fixes\security\new features to their products over time in the form of software updates.

Everywhere but Canada has gotten 5.1.1 All Carriers install bloatware, so how come the US, Europe, Asia, Middle East bloatware works fine with 5.1.1, but Canadian Bloatware doesn't. I assume the update is being held up so they can "test" it, but the only thing to test is the bloatware.
[Galaxy S6 General] virulentt:
Hey everyone, for those of you that are upset at their phone, i just found something really interesting. Arter97 just made a rom based on the new Galaxy Note 5 firmware. Android 5.1.1, basicly the next update we are waiting from samsung. Memory Management is fixed, battery doesn't drain when screen is off (lost 5% in 8hours overnight). You can flash it, then arter97's kernel for G920TW8. Don't forget to apply manually the Audio Call Patch Fix and SuperSU if you want root access :)
[Galaxy S6 General] theeze:
Because Apple has one phone. So pushing out updates is easier, same specs, same exact phone. If you wanted day 1 updates like iOS you should have gotten a google nexus as it's google that pushes out their own updates.

You should have done your research buddy. I'ld still take delayed updates over iTunes and iOS anyday. Also every android phone has a different kernel, they aren't all based on the same source, so whatever security issues one may have on one phone, may not be present on the other phone, despite being 5.0.2 If there's a serious securtiy flaw, they'll roll that update asap...not months. Like the stagefright exploit.
[Galaxy S6 General] BrendenDonaher:
I assume the fingerprint sensor doesn't work as we don't yet have a w8 bootloader ?

Other than that how is the rom compared to XtreStoLite?

Sent from my Deco stop
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
Unikernel works as well.

The better rom is the Edge + rom over at the Edge section. Super fluid but like all ports, certain things may not work.

You need Unikernel and the new E+ Call Audio Patch for it to work.

it's not just one phone for apple, they have: iPhone 4s, 5, 5s, 6, 6plus, ipods, ipads, that all run the latest iOS (8.4.1), all use different builds, and there is the CDMA and GSM variants which also use different builds of 8.4.1

So apple supports a bunch of different hardware using different builds, yet they're all running the latest iOS 8.4.1 without issue. With Samsung it seems once they sell you the phone you get an update every so often and that's it. Apple actually cares about older hardware and will update\add features\security fixes on hardware that is already 4 years old (iPhone 4s)

I'm not saying apple is the best, but I just wish Samsung would care about hardware once it's sold by giving us the latest software. Motorola and Google Nexus devices get updated regularly, so it's not an Android issue.

It's the Canadian carriers version of Apple Pay for Android. CIBC has signed on so far for credit cards. Debit cards are coming as are loyalty cards.
