In the Settings-Mobile Networks-Network Mode the default setting is LTE/WCDMA/GSM autoconnect. This means the S6 chooses the strongest signal available and connect to it. This is good on most cases. But if all signals are weak then the shifting may cause some problems like poor sending/receiving calls/SMS and poor internet connection. Try changing network mode to GSM or WCDMA only. It prevents the changing of networks on the fly which may be the cause of your problems. I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S6 General] redarceo:
Thanks for your feedback. :) Yes, I've been doing what you have suggested. I'm concerned if the situation will remain like this. :( If I have to keep on switching. Even in areas where there are supposed to have 3G signals, my S6 fails to operate properly in terms of sending/receiving calls/SMS, and browsing with mobile data. My bro's Note 4 does not seem to exhibit these problems.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Cellular technology is not perfect. The weather can also affect its function.
[Galaxy S6 General] redarceo:
Do you think it can be fixed via software updates? Note 4, and Zenfone 2, compared to my S6 Duos in the same location, perform well in the signal department.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Try Settings-About Device-Software Update-Update Now. You may get lucky. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] redarceo:
Yes, will try to check from time to time. Thanks. :)

Did you get your refund already?

They are also refunding me buy the process takes a long time.. It's almost 6weeks now, I still don't have my phone back. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
If you need a phone ASAP an alternative is to ask Samsung to make the refundable amount as credit for you to buy a new S6. Choose an unlocked version if this is a possible option. I recall they still offer an extended 2 year warranty for new units.
[Galaxy S6 General] redarceo:
Wow, it's good they offered that option. What was your S6's problem/s?
[Galaxy S6 General] wendysanchez:
~ yes, got the cheque last friday (june 26).. it took 15 days for them to give me the cheque. Maybe you should always call them for an update. :)

It's just frustrating because I used to have no problems with my previous phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Wow good for you! It's odd that they can't replace it. I guess just buy a new one with the money? At least you get an unlocked version!
[Galaxy S6 General] wendysanchez:
yeah, just bought one in Gold Platinum but i'm now regretting my choice of color, want my Black Sapphire back :crying:
[Galaxy S6 General] useletters:
I was told how much was the refundable amount is but it was not enough to buy a new S6 so I asked them how am I going to buy a new device. That's why it's on process, again. There's no sense of urgency with their service.. I'll try and go tell them that I need my phone back ASAP. And maybe they'll have the urgency.. Thanks.

They told me that they don't have available stocks that's why they're refunding it.. :)

It has a deadpixel and screen discoloration (you can find a thread here in xda about discoloration)..

Good for you.. I'm always emailing the case manager who's doing all the process.. But still nothing :/ I think I have to talk with someone higher than her position, supervisor perhaps, to ask what's taking so long.. Madly disappointed with their aftersales. [emoji19]

Considering getting an iPhone and their great aftersales.. (Just kidding, S6 is still the best IMO [emoji12])
[Galaxy S6 General] wendysanchez:
~ where did you brought your device? i mean the name of the service center?

i brought mine at Jan BC located at Sm Megamall and got lucky that a representative from samsung is there the day that i brought my phone for the "defect checking".

i guess you should visit them if you have time and tell them the hassle that you are experiencing because of them and will report to DTI if they don't make their service right ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] useletters:
My device is originally from Globe. And took it in a service center (Into Gadgets Marquee Mall Angeles).

Megamall is quite far, I'm from Pampanga pa. Hehe.

Lucky for you, you got full retail price as refund. I'm still waiting for the case manager to call me about the new refundable amount. And yes so much hassle. [emoji19] [emoji19]
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
I'm using a gold platinum! I originally had a black one too.

It's beautiful if you use a high quality clear case with it. Use a spigen clear case or a similar variant. My friends all tell me it looks elegant.
[Galaxy S6 General] wendysanchez:
i'm also using a spigen case, the aircushion variant.. but my problem is when im outside or in a place where there is so many lights the phone is so flashy. :rolleyes:

I flashed the UK 5.1.1 update last week, I don't get LTE signal just H+, so I'm downloading the XTC firmware now and will flash it later.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
Once you've flashed any 5.1.1 firmware you cannot flash back to your previous 5.0.2. You can only flash 5.1.1 firmwares. Wait for the unlocked 5.1.1 XTC firmware which should ba available soon.
[Galaxy S6 General] Captain Cook:
Isn't this unlocked? http://samsung-updates.com/details/47826/Galaxy_S6_Edge/SM-G925F/XTC/G925FXXU2BOFK.html I'm currently 1/3 of the download progress.

I'm not downgrading, I'm just gonna flash this over the current one so I can check if it will fix the lost LTE signal. If this firmware doesn't work, I'm gonna try the Globe firmware. I don't mind the extra apps, matter of fact I uninstalled all the games I was playing 2 days ago.
[Galaxy S6 General] epictool:
Finally theres an update for s6 920FD but should i update?
[Galaxy S6 General] Captain Cook:
With my S6E, battery has improved and there was little to no overheating when playing games. I played the likes of UFC and MKX.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Oh God finally the update is out! But i had to check it manually. Why?
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
Those who have updated their device to 5.1.1, how's the ram management? Is it fixed already by samsung?
[Galaxy S6 General] ring_GT:
I just updated to 5.1.1 but i cannot seem to find the manual exposure feature in the camera app. Can anyone confirm?
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Yup can't find it also using the stock camera app. Also can't find raw support, shutter speed, and other supposedly included features in the update.

With just just the smart manager app open, ram usage is at 66%.

Edit: just checked on samobile, a third party app is needed to take advantage of the unlocked camera features. Great..
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
The update is kinda disappointing... I don't notice any performance difference. The phone still stutters. Maybe I should do a factor reset?
[Galaxy S6 General] j.go:
I didn't notice any stuttering except for the first couple of minutes after the update. I like that you can now remove s finder and quick search from the notification pull down and reclaim some of that real estate. and they seem to have added a built in task killer, but only for installed apps. wish you can use it on some of the bundled crap that was pre installed. hopefully standby battery drain when on mobile data improves.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Oh really? Good for you buddy. How do I access the task killer?
[Galaxy S6 General] Jeffsandoval014:
I can access the task killer from Smart Manager > Battery > Details

If it's the task killer he's talking about. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Captain Cook:
Switching back to UK firmware. Why? Because the SUN/GLOBE firmwares don't have auto spacing for adding new contacts. For example +639178888888, but for UK firmware it's +63 917 888 8888 it puts spaces as you type the numbers. Some apps that came with SUN/GLOBE firmwares were on Thai language, for example the Galaxy Gifts and LINE.

Maarte lang ako, hassle if you manually put spaces in between the numbers. Hahaha
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Thanks!

What I really dislike about this phone is how aggressively it kills apps. It struggles to keep stuff like games in memory.

I wanna do a factory reset but hassle to install everything again..
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
Same here. That's the reason why I don't want to update just yet..coz I'm pingpong rooted with 5.0.2 and I'm able to tweak build.prop system settings to fix the aggressive ram management issue.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
What is the phone doing exactly? Why is it aggressively shutting down apps?
[Galaxy S6 General] epictool:
Updated already. Hmm seems the same lol..
[Galaxy S6 General] Captain Cook:
Just got my Ringke case from Lazada. http://www.lazada.com.ph/ringke-premium-shock-absorption-bumper-hard-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-crystal-view-484858.html

Parang rubber na ewan, anyway, so much better in terms of phone handling compared to the flip case. Since rubber sya, prone to scratches ito and as I was cleaning it, I made a long line of scratch in the back. Other than that, I'm quite satisfied. I can now appreciate the sleekness of the phone more often.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

Guys, how is your home button? Ung sakin when under a very bright light, some scratches are visible. Maybe this is because my unit is black, comparing it to my mother's white S5 I can't see anything. I don't use the fingerprint feature and I rarely touch it, I asked my suki friend in Greenhills and wala pa daw home button protector. Anyone here have any idea where to get one? They have protectors for iPhone's home button, I wish magkaron din for our units kahit film lang para hindi bulky. Ung sa iPhone kasi parang button ng polo ang thickness. Lol
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
Yes, but it does give protection. When dropped, the corners tend to hit the surface first, that's how samsung designed it. Also, I want to show its full beauty..
[Galaxy S6 General] edsol:
hi guys, issue ba talaga ang loose and wiggly home button ng S6? I have a gold S6 and I really like it pero medyo wiggly and home button. Maliit lang naman ang play niya side to side and up/down at wala pang rattling sound that I saw and heard sa video ng iba but my worry is if eventually my S6 will also go that direction and deteriorate.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
If you're really bothered by it, have Samsung check. Mine is tight but I find it too tight. It barely moves.

PS. We have to speak in English here or else we get moderated (happened before).

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

Ah really? I might try it out. I'm just really paranoid about dropping and scratching.

I wanted to try out the clear view ones but they said that it damages the screen because of manufacturing defect.
[Galaxy S6 General] edsol:
ok, thanks for reminding about english. I read some comments kasi in talaglog so I thought it's allowed. Anyway so I think the play in the home button may not be an issue at all. I just hope that it will not deteriorate in time.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Can you take a video so I can compare it to mine? It's hard to imagine the play.
[Galaxy S6 General] edsol:
ok, I'll try because right now I don't know yet how to upload a pic or video
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
Here's a fix for the aggressive ram for those who are rooted and still on 5.0.2. Try these mods using root explorer and navigate through system>build.prop.

Edit build.prop via text editor and change the values on these lines:

ro.config.dha_cached_max=16

ro.config.dha_empty_max=34

ro.config.dha_th_rate=1.3

ro.config.dha_lmk_scale=0.600

It works for me. I can switch between 6 games without any lag and reloads. It's a balance between performance and multi-tasking with no battery drain on standby.

Try and let me know how it goes.. \m/
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Thanks. No longer rooted though. Wish I knew this earlier. Hehe. Why is it that the regular configuration terminated apps too aggressively?
[Galaxy S6 General] mykS6edge:
Samsung set the cached_max too low and lmk values too high

It doesn't matter what ROM I flash (Chroma, RastaPop, Terminus, etc) and whether its 5.0.1, 5.0.2, or 5.1, but no matter what I won't have root access even when I flash SuperSU v1.94 via TWRP. It installs successfully and the su binary exists in /system/xbin and the apk exists in /system/app so I have no idea what the problem is. Every time I open up the layers app it says that I don't have root access and then directs me to download super user from the play store. Even when I open the SuperSU app it tells me that the binary isn't installed, even though it is. This is confusing the hell out of me.

What's even more odd is that ROMs that require flashing the SuperSU zip but DON'T include layers work perfectly!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
im using terminus, with layers, and supersu, and it works perfectly. what you should do next time it happens is uninstall layers, thrn reinstall it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brando56894:
By "uninstalling Layers" do you mean "Layers Manager"? If so it's not installed to begin with, although it's present in the System menu. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. It's not just Layers that doesn't have SU rights, nothing does.

[General Questions and Answers] Mexitalian434:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 through Verizon. I had no issues at all with this devic before the software update to Lollipop. I loved this phone, my favorite of all I have ever had. Now everything is jacked up. Music stops constantly, contacts stop, the floating links on lock screen don't work, scrolling menu down to access notifications doesnt work,ETC, ETC, ETC. I have been in contact with Samsung support and everything they told me to do was useless. Now they say I need to go to Best Buy Samsung store. I live in a rural area and the closest Best Buy is out of my way. I'd rather not waste a trip if they are as stupid as the Samsung support. I've deleted cache, data, wiped the partion, started in safemode, you name it. The problem is Lollipop not anything on my phone. I have reached the point I am thinking about doing a factory reset to try to go back to kitkat. Any suggestions before I go that far?
[General Questions and Answers] brito300:
Try Odin back to kitkat
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
A factory reset won't revert it to Kitkat. It's a good idea to try though, just back everything up first. If that doesn't make Lollipop work better, use Odin to flash an older version, as suggested.

[Sony Xperia ZL] makukafromhell:
Hey guys i was wondering if u can give some help with this...

Yesterday i took a pic with my Xperia ZL (C6502) and then, it suddenly began with the restart loop.

First of all i tried with Sony PC Companion to get it back to stock rom but didn't work.

Then i tried (twice) to flash it with a stock rom with flashtool, for the first time i unmarked wipe cache and data, because i wanted to backup my apps and stuff and it didn't work, and for the second time i marked these options, but i got the same result ....

After that i read over the internet, and i remember someone talking about it's problem (boot loop) is related with the baterry phone and i don't think that's the problem, so anyway i haven't removed even.

Later i saw on sonymobile a flashtool developed by sony (emma), so i downloaded but i'm still waiting for sony's aprovement on my account to use the software.

So guys, what u think about that? Any idea to help me solve this?

By the way here are some data of my xperia

Xperial ZL (C6502)

o.s: android 4.4 kitkat

unlock bootloader : yes (emma requirements are unlock bootloader active)
[Sony Xperia ZL] VenQWish:
Does it only boot when on a charger? Then your battery is dead and you'll need to replace it. However this sounds a little bit different, the first thing that comes to mind is a factory reset & wipe all cache. Usually boot loops are caused by corrupt user data.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Nosreg323:
Me too, my phone stucks on the initial settings and then restart
[Sony Xperia ZL] makukafromhell:
Thanks for reply VenQWish, when the phone is connected to the charger, it power on by itself and start with the loop, it never stop, but i still can get into flashboot mode when its connected to the PC.

Since the M9 is starting to become available on several markets, it could be interesting to compare the quality of the different batches re: screen, finish, temperature, camera...

I have two different M8 and it's almost like they are two different phones. One has a vibrant screen with perfect white balance, the other has a washed out yellowish display, the one with the yellow display has louder loudspeakers (same ROM), and the camera protection film is smudged whereas the other one is like new.

from my experience with htc, they have two or three factories. I forget which one was preferred manufacturer but the lcd is definitely different between some.
