Just updated from stock 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 on Fido over the air. Some calls are going to voicemail and some are coming through. The only thing that has worked so far is turning LTE off and selecting GSM/HSPA (Autoconnect) in mobile networks - network mode. But this is obviously not a solution
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
Battery life has gone horrible after the 5.1.1 update on rogers s6.

5.0.2 was acceptable. Had like 2-3 hours of SOT. Wasn't the best, but I still managed it.

Now on 5.1.1

Android System/Android OS is hogging up the battery.

After 6 hours of sleep, battery drops from 95 to 70.....

Bad update. (Already wiped cache, factory reset etc)
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
It's not the update itself because many of us are having no battery issues on the latest version.

Try re-flashing the firmware in Odin.
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
So use Odin instead of SmartSwitch?

I've used smartswitch to update.

and can I use Odin without breaking the warranty?

Plus is there a guide that i can use for Odin?

It's been a while for me
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
Odin is super easy and it won't void the warranty as long as you're flashing stock firmware. It's when you flash custom recoveries and kernels and stuff that it trips the Knox flag.

I don't know of any specific guides off hand, but a basic Google search will probably get you several good ones. It's a cinch, so any guide will do.
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
Hmm thanks!

I found firmware site, and Odin guide.

But now Im confused about which firmware to use.

Originally I bought s6 from Rogers. So using RWC CSC version of firmware makes sense., but now I'm using it with FIdo.

so should I use FWC or RWC? or does it not matter?
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
It actually doesn't matter as they are all the same file. Every Canadian firmware file contains the carrier apps and settings for every Canadian carrier. On first boot, the firmware will set your phone to the right carrier based on your SIM card and install the appropriate apps. And if you like, you can switch to a different carrier's apps and settings any time (though it will factory reset the phone when you do).

It's pretty convenient.
[Galaxy S6 General] forcemultiplier:
I believe this is the thread for Canadian S6s.. If not, I'll have to remove this post somehow.

Well, I wanted to ask if anybody else is having issues with their S6 after the 5.1.1 update from Telus? My phone has started to lag and battery life has gone to the crapper! Is this just me? Is there a fix? I didn't want to flash another ROM thinking I'd void the warranty. Can anyone help? I've tried all forms of battery saving techniques already..
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
Did you try a factory reset?

Question: What method did you use to upgrade to 5.1.1? OTA update? Smart Switch?

I haven't encountered the issues others are having on my S6. Same for three other S6s I setup for people. I can't do OTAs because I root and I've been using Odin exclusively, so it makes me wonder if the culprit is a bug with the OTAs, or maybe even Smart Switch.
[Galaxy S6 General] forcemultiplier:
Hey thanks for the reply. Two months after I got my phone, I found the radio to have issues, that is, it wouldn't have connectivity even at places where LTE was supposed to be evident. When I took it in to Telus, they sent it for repair and upon getting it back, they said that there was something wrong with the board and they had to replace the entire board on mine. It was factory reset then. I haven't since done so. That answers one of your questions.. The other is my updates have been OTA thus far.

So do you think this is an issue with the phone itself? Should I take it in again? I could do a factory reset but I was hoping I didn't have to.
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
After you Odin, make sure your CSC is correct. It tends to default to BMC even if you are with a different carrier. Not sure if the new firmwares have corrected this but the 5.0.2 ones defaulted to BMC after flashing.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
It could be the phone but I would do the factory reset first just in case. In my experience, a factory reset solves a lot of issues. Doing a full fresh install of firmware (rather than incrementally updating) alongside a factory reset is even more effective. At that point, any problem that persists through all of that is definitely hardware-related and you would know for sure that you need to take your phone in.

I hate factory resetting too, it's a huge pain in the ass. But I find that it solves most problems, even little nitpicky things, so I usually just suck it up and do it anyway. And if I'm factory resetting anyway, I figure I might as well just Odin the firmware back on for a 100% clean slate. I just sit and watch TV for a couple hours while setting everything back up after the reset.

It's a pain, but it's a very effective troubleshooting step. No software-based problems can survive a full firmware flash and factory reset. :)

I've had this happen to me in the past as well, mostly on previous Galaxy S phones.

By any chance, is your phone unlocked? My current theory is that perhaps instead of recognizing the SIM card's carrier, it instead looks at the carrier to which the phone is currently locked. If it's unlocked, the default is Bell (it's alphabetically first in the list of the Canadian carriers).
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
Mine is locked to Rogers as far as I know. I haven't attempted an unlocked yet.

It kept defaulting to BMC with Odin, Kies, and Smart Switch full firmware updates. Pissed me off to no end!
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
Hmm, so much for that idea.

I've had it happen to me too, but I don't recall whether it's happened on my S6 or if it was just on previous devices. The last few times I've Odin'd firmware onto my S6, it always came out automatically as Rogers.
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
Yeah I'm at a loss as well. Tried with and without sim too!
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
It really makes me curious. I've come from 920F-based ROMs, done a factory reset and then flashed Canadian firmware and it still came out as Rogers. There's something that triggers it, but not 100% of the time.
[Galaxy S6 General] mceuca:
Hello guys,

I have my Galaxy S6 with Wind Mobile. It came with Lollipop 5.0.2. I changed the CSC to Telus and updated to 5.1.1 via OTA then rooted and installed XtreStoLite custom ROM. After that my phone started displaying H and H+ for data connectivity speed instead of 3G and 4G I had before and which I like better. I reverted to stock firmware by installing the EastLink 5.1.1 ROM via Odin and before doing so I reset everything to factory default wiping all data. I still have the phone displaying H and H+ but if I go roaming in the US it displays 3G.

I repeated the procedure a few more times using 5.1.1 firmwares from Wind and Fido but no matter what firmware I'm trying to push via Odin I end up with Bell bloatware on my phone. Phone is running OK, I have no issues with calls or messages, I get decent battery life (no real change compared to what I used to get with stock 5.0.2), the only thing that bothers me is that I can't get those 3G - 4G icons back. Any ideas how can I possibly restore that?
[Galaxy S6 General] space_eyes:
So I'd like the OTA but I've rooted and installed twrp. I thought I could just unroot through SU. But it seems I've lost root and cannot OTA. Fix me.
[Galaxy S6 General] mceuca:
Flash a stock 5.1.1 ROM from sammobile using Odin 3.10.7
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
Have you tried changing your CSC back to Wind?
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
When I re-flash stock firmware (from stock) is it supposed to wipe data off my phone or leave it alone?

I followed instructions, and when the phone rebooted, nothing was wiped.... no change.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
Flashing through Odin doesn't wipe the internal SD. I don't know if Smart Switch is the same.

I prefer to do a factory reset before flashing firmware in Odin, just to make sure nothing unwanted carries over.
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
Ahh that's why nothing was erased.

Factory reset through setting or recovery?
[Galaxy S6 General] space_eyes:
How about if I didn't break it as usual and still had root? A way to allow OTA . Wind Mobile. Using ony the phone itself....

I should probably puts this elsewhere...
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
As long as you have stock recovery, it doesn't matter because they both ultimately go through recovery. If you have TWRP installed, you have to do it through TWRP.
[Galaxy S6 General] krazycanuck82:
I had the same issue with my s6 edge with calls going to vm and missing txt this happened with the o8 and o16 firmwares. the solution that worked for me in each case was to flash back to the og2 radio and everything was working fine.....as far as i can tell
[Galaxy S6 General] Jazznax:
What root method is everyone using on 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] bill10:
Unikernal, s6 edge unified thread
[Galaxy S6 General] mmilani:
Can you please walk me through the process of flashing a different radio.? I was on 5.0.2 and updated to 5.1.1 OTA and now the calls are going to voicemail. I am not rooted and I'm on stock recovery. I would really appreciate it if you can walk me through the process of keeping 5.1.1 but flashing a different radio to fix the calls going to voicemail issue.

Where would I get the files? How to flash them. I am familiar with using odin and twrp I just don't know the exact steps and which radio file i should flash.

I believe a lot of people can benefit from a step by step guide.

and my battery life is horrible.... well I think it is. Can anyone help me?

It wasnt this bad in 5.0.2 for me.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] LeonPhelps:
Can someone point me in the right direction to root 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] caanda45:
Odin can be found here...http://odindownloadxda.com/

Go here to odin flash TWRP for the S6...https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/ This will flip the knoxx counter, you have been warned.

Put on your phone the SuperSu zip (do this before you flash TWRP) you can get it from here...https://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

So odin flash TWRP, from that flash boot into TWRP and flash SuperSu zip and at this point also do a wipe in TWRP, boot into Android and if all is well root will be present. Check it by downloading root checker or I use titanium back-up. Then you will have root and a custom recovery.
[Galaxy S6 General] mceuca:
That worked, thanks for the tip.

Are you running the latest bootloader? I can't downgrade to the OG2 modem using the OI6 baseband, yet I've seen people claim it's possible
[Galaxy S6 General] caanda45:
I went back to 5.0.2 using Smart Switch when I oden flashed the new bootloader and TWRP`ed the modem. For me it might have had to do with that I never got a OTA update, but under emergency firmware restore, it worked for me...
[Galaxy S6 General] lizaSB:
I don't think we can roll back to 5.0.2 in any way at all after upgrading to any of the 5.1.1 bootloaders
[Galaxy S6 General] caanda45:
Worked for me...
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
Android System and Cell Standby should never reach higher than a few percent each. Something is definitely wrong.

How is the cellular reception where you are? It seems like the phone is trying really hard to hold a connection and is burning through your battery in the process.

You could do a test and put the phone into airplane mode and see how much it drains over 6-12 hours. If the drain is minimal while in airplane mode (shouldn't be more than a few percent) then that means that something is fighting for a connection when airplane mode is turned off.

If you have the option, exchange your phone for a new one and see if the rampant drain goes away. If so, then it was a hardware issue and you're all good. If the problem persists even on a new phone, then it's either the cellular reception in your area or it's a setting or app that is causing the problem. An app (like Tasker, for instance) could potentially be running a process that is repeatedly cycling and is burning battery. It could also be an account you have set to sync which is having issues connecting to the database and thus is retrying over and over, draining your battery.

There are a lot of possibilities. If a getting a new phone doesn't fix it, then try a factory reset and don't put any accounts or apps on the phone. If it's still draining, it's the reception in your area or some source(s) of interference. If the battery is fine like that, then you can slowly add back accounts and apps one by one until you see which is causing the battery drain.
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
Thanks for the tips!!

I live in London On area. Mobile connections are not bad. 4-5 bars. But the resident building WiFi is horrible. 2-3 bars, always disconnects when I use it.

Would this contribute to the battery issue?
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
It could. I've never seen it get that bad, but Android doesn't handle it well when connectivity is weak enough that it cuts out periodically. You could try turning off wifi and see if it makes a difference.

Read through the last few pages on that forum. You aren't the only one. I am also in the same boat. Sounds like Rogers is having some problems provisioning the S6 phone on their network and some claim it's crazy bad when on WIFI. Its possible some of the other carriers are having trouble too.

Major problems for sure with this phone up here in Canada
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
So this is a more of a problem with Roger's network? I guess rooting/custom roms wont help then....

But I'm glad Im not the only one

BTW

I do not have issues with call going straight to voicemail or texts not sending/recieving. Only battery problems.
[Galaxy S6 General] IUH1991:
So, I was browsing around my local bell store today and noticed that the s6 they had on display was running 5.1.1... Have any bell users received the OTA yet?
[Galaxy S6 General] jnhsd0319:
Well I turned off all the wireless settings, and guess what. I only lost 1% of battery through 10 hours of sleep.!!

95% to 94%.

I guess it is my phone fighting for connection. I will only turn wifi on tonight and see if that makes a difference.

Any idea when we get the new small update the other countries got? The stuff with the samsung doze?

[Galaxy S6 General] umaru:
This is not true. I have a S6 from Wind on the CityFone network (rogers) with their LTE sim card. I've been using LTE without any problems on 5.0.2 until i updated to 5.1.1. It now only connects to 3G and does not give me an "LTE" option in the "Network mode" option.

And yes, all APN settings are correct.

But it makes me wonder why LTE worked on the 5.0.2 version of wind's firmware and why they decided to block it on 5.1.1....

anyway, i'm deciding whether i should just flash Eastlink's firmware or just root and flash a custom rom...
[Galaxy S6 General] itzik_man:
I wrote wind by mistake, It was not Wind firmware it was Eastlink's firmware.

So I've finished my overnight battery test. It seems like the weak wifi in the dorm was killing the battery.

I guess it's nothing much to do with 5.1.1. Dropped from 95% to 68 in 6-7 hours of sleep. Data connection did not kill the battery as much.
[Galaxy S6 General] Sevael:
If you can afford the data, just stay off the dorm wifi. Otherwise, look into getting a repeater to boost the signal.

[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
I wasn't aware of this until recently but people have been saying only about 1 out of 10 calls actually makes it through to my phone. I'm not sure what other options I have besides downgrading the bootloader/os but frankly I'm going to raise hell with Samsung first and then deal with it on my own later.

It is simply pathetic that Samsung and the Canadian carriers can't release a bug free update after taking an additional 3 months to release it. These are fundamental features of a device, they should not be broken after a software update and if they are, a patched update should be released within a week.
[Galaxy S6 General] ChongoDroid:
Downgrading to the OH8 modem has fixed this issue for me. I'm still on current firmware and bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 General] C2Q:
Does this mean calls at least go to VM?

If not...this kinda sucks. I'm currently job searching and would hate to miss a call from someone because of this.

I'm also having this issue of receiving the same text twice. Not sure if anyone else has experienced that? I'm on rogers.

Hello all, i wanna say thank you to all the people that take the time to make it simple for us as to how to make the most from our phones. I just got my wind mobile g6 g920w8 and cant stand the bloated stock rom already, i did stock 5.1.1 update and want to root and install twrp so i can flash a custom rom. In my case i wouldnt need to flash the bootloader correct? Just flash latest twrp through latest odin and flash supersu through twrp right? Also usb debugging is on, drivers are updated but odin is not recognizing my phone when i connect in download mode via stock usb cable. Any suggestions? Any roms you'd recommend? Any help is greatly appreciated
[Galaxy S6 General] msavic6:
It's been very hit or miss for me regarding calls. Occasionally it will go to voice-mail while the majority of the times the caller simply hears unavailable and it hang ups. Unfortunately I'm not notified of any of this on my S6 and remain oblivious to any calls that I missed until people mention it themselves.

Even on 5.02, I occasionally had people tell me they couldn't reach me and I chalked it off to signal issues and random disturbances, but it's crossed all boundaries with the latest 5.1.1 update. I may end up offloading the S6 on Craigslist and getting a new device to play with for the time being.
[Galaxy S6 General] brigon:
And how did you manage that? The bootloader seems to stop downgrading.

[Galaxy S6 General] Whitehat76:
I'M With Telus, (SM-G920W8) android 5.1.1 and I have the same problem. Calls are randomly directly sent to voicemail, the phone never registering any log for it....

Tech support told me to set the phone to WCDMA/GSM instead of LTE/WCDMA/GSM temporarily as a workaround until samsung provides a fix... Of course, I abandon LTE for 4G when it's setuped like that.. Are they right to put the problems on "samsung" back ???? :eek:
[Galaxy S6 General] KAPABLE-K:
I think the problem is with Rogers network not Samsung because people on other network do not have this issue also iPhone users are experiencing the same issue.

It isn't related to the network as I've tried putting my sim card into various other devices and calls came in perfectly as they should. Rogers simply did damage control by telling people it was network related when it clearly isn't.

Just talked to a Videotron tech support and that's what he said:

The problem is not Samsung or the firmware version, the issue ls the LTE network communication.

It's a work in progress to fix the issue between Videotron and Rogers (sharing the same LTE network).

Using 4g instead of LTE, will fix the problem (lost calls or calls going directly to the voice mail) till the fix is release.
