SM-G920F data speed became slow after stock marshmallow update.

Hi can someone help me data speed of my smg920f became slow i think after the latest marshmallow update. When i insert my sim to other phone (A7 2017) on same location it has better signal dbm and faster download and upload speed. Could there be a baseband problem or hardware problem? Thanks.

Successful globe unlock- but firmware problem.

OK. I searched the thread with the keyword unlock and didn't find so much comments on unlocking.

I have the dual sim version from Globe. Apparently Globe doesn't unlock Samsung devices the same way that they can unlock iOS devices. I also tried going to the tiangge having the phone rooted so that they can do the unlocking through cable thing but kept on having errors. So I decided to buy a code from doctorsim.

About 3 buisness days afer I ordered, I got the codes. The price for the code was pricey at 30+ dollars per sim slot because you pay per imei number. I decided to just pay for 1. The code was accepted after I put in my smartbro sim card which was previously in an also unlocked Note 3. Unfortunately the phone did not try to download the APN of smart, and the functions of the sim slot where the smart sim card was in was grayed out. (BTW, both my sim slots were locked to Globe. I tried inserting the Smart sim on both slots prior to buying the codes, but both asked for a code.) So since the phone is unlocked and im being challenged by the firmware, am thinking of flashing an unlocked rom. Any advise if I should go for a stock rom? Its also just a little frustrating that we seem to be the last to get the Nougat update compared to all the other countries.

In the back panel of the phone it says S6 SM-G920FD but in the ROM it says Model No. SM-G920F. Weird. :silly:

That's why I asked )) also no original rom with g920FD found

[Galaxy S6 General] DrearierJester1:
I think 920F firmwares are compatible with our FD phones. It in the firmware will automatically detect if its dual sim or not. I maybe totally wrong but just my opinion.
[Galaxy S6 General] tobywhiz:
To those who are wondering about the network lock for the dual Sim, the SIM2 slot is actually openline. I got mine from Globe postpaid. SIM1 must be your Globe postpaid Sim and SIM2 can be from any network. You can't do it the other way around like If you put non Globe to SIM 1 and Globe to SIM2, SIM1 will be invalid.

But take note of the issue when using dual Sim. I tried using SMART on my SIM2 and the 4G speed and signal of Globe became so erratic. It was reduced to 0.8mbps download speed. When I removed my SMART from SIM2, the signal and speed came back to normal. This is just from my experience which can be different from others. Hope this helps.

P. S. I confirmed this with my colleague who was an employee of Samsung Philippines.

Hi guys! Just got my phone yesterday. A 32gb one. Came from a 6 plus. Kinda regretting it I should have gotten the 64 but good thing it has OTG so it isn't so bad. Also got the wireless Samsung charger today. It's nice to be back on Android.
[Galaxy S6 General] marsen2567:
NVM guys :victory: , no need, I ported it myself, selfish bastards. LOL..

Just kidding pinoy peps!
[Galaxy S6 General] j.go:
How long does is it take to fully charge the phone with a wireless charger, compared to a car charger or plugged into a laptop?

On a side not, I've been using a 6 plus, too, for the past 4 months. It;s my first iphone since the Iphone 4. I was hoping it would be enough to tide me over till the next nexus, but there were just too many little things that I didn't like, or that iOS just did differently. So I caved. I thought it ran game much smoother, though.
[Galaxy S6 General] wendysanchez:
i have an S6 (from globe) with a defect - the glass and frame have a gap that is bothering me so i went to a samsung service provider (in megamall) after 5 days they called me and said that the part(s) needed to fix my phone will be arriving late so they will make a unit replacement request to Samsung. After another 5 days they called me again and said that they don't have a unit replacement in stock so my phone is subject for refund and they will refund the full market price of P35,990. Well i guess it's better than enduring that gap. :o

~ i can't post the image here, says that i need to have 10 post first to do so. :D

All Globe issued S6 are locked to Globe/TM. Tried my Sun nano both in SIM 1 and SIM 2 trays with/without the Globe nano SIM in the other tray and it just wont register with Sun network.
[Galaxy S6 General] j.go:
The network sim must always be inserted in tray 1. It's ok to deactivate it if you don't want to use it, but it must be inserted. You should be able to insert any sim in tray 2. Have you tried a different sim in tray 2 besides your Sun sim? The sim itself might be the problem.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
It takes 3 hours to charge wireless. It's longer and convenient. Kinda cool. I just put it on my side table before I sleep. It's the cool factor of it all. Using the fast charger it takes 1.3 hours.

Sun nano SIM I used worked on my wife's iPhone 6 but does not work on any SIM slot on the Globe S6 irregardless weather the Globe nano SIM is inserted on SIM alot 1/2 or none at all. All Globe issued S6 are locked to Globe/TM.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
That's true. My friend is in the same situation. I ended up selling my 32 gb one for a 64 gb open line one. Although it was only available in gold. Not bad, not as tacky as I thought.
[Galaxy S6 General] j.go:
well, that sucks. kinda defeats the point of having a dual sim phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
I wonder if we can remove the ugly stickers at the back. Mine has 2, the imei and the NTC sticker. I don't know why there's a sticker there since the imei is printed on the lower part of the phone anyway under the glass.

[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
I found this unlocked Galaxy S6 firmware for Philippines Openline (XTC) from Sammobile. Would flashing this on my locked Globe S6 unlock it to enable use of my active Sun nano SIM? I would be greatful for the brave soul/hero who would flash the openline S6 firmware below to his/her Globe S6 and report if it unlocks it.

Yes, you can remove the stickers if for example you plan to put a screen protector at the back. Just stick it in a safe place for example the OEM box.
[Galaxy S6 General] mcometa:
That's the first thing I did after removing the plastic after unboxing -- removed the NTC stickers. Anybody have a cool idea on hiding the ugly DUOS brand? I hated it. I just wanted a SAMSUNG logo and that's it.
[Galaxy S6 General] DrearierJester1:
Nope. It does not unlock SIM2.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
That sucks...:crying:
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
No it won't unlock it. You have to use a specific unlocker. I did it on my s3 before but it needed root. Not sure if there's a better process now.

Thanks for the tip! Now I can use my clear spigen case! Looks great. Haha I don't like the duos brand but any attempt to hide it would make it uglier...
[Galaxy S6 General] mcometa:
How much did you get your Spigen case? What do you think of the Samsung Clearview flip case? Expensive though at ~PHP2000 at Lazada.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Avoid the clear view at the moment. It has a manufacturing defect that makes it scratch the screen! Try to Google it.

The spigen is 950 I got it from the official spigen shop in Sm Bf. It's quite good. Shows off the phone beautifully! Comes with a free backside acres protector (I don't understand why lol)
[Galaxy S6 General] mcometa:
Ooohhh! I will! Thanks for letting me know.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
It's called the spigen ultra hybrid. I also got a rugged case, spigen slim armor. Both are fantastic. Had the exact same setup when I had my iPhone 6 Plus. Hehe.
[Galaxy S6 General] LLeWoJ:

On the first week, I was sure it was locked cause i had my sun sim in the whole time but its not working. But today when i checked after like a month or so and after a few updates, the second sim is now open. My sun sim is now working. Thank god for this move Globe. Check yours guys.

Now i don't have to bring two phones. Yay

That's pretty steep. Did you ever read the conditions of gadget care? What does it say?

And by the way, has anyone tried flashing a rom or recovery yet? Because the sticker says G90FD while the "about phone" says G90F.
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
Don't flash anything yet while stuff isn't working. Have you tried a factory reset? What method was used to unlock it? Maybe that could help us figure out what happened.

[Galaxy S6 General] Jeffsandoval014:
Will you?:D
[Galaxy S6 General] prinzhernan:
I think we should just wait for our update to arrive. I prefer to use the radios from our localized rom since it's better for cell reception. I dunno. What do you guys think?

I have never really flashed any custom roms cause I'm happy just the way it is, now. And I've only flashed custom kernels.. You can flash custom G920F roms but it won't be able to recognize the second sim slot.

AllianceROM seems to recognize dual sim, but later on, it consistently FC's system UI. And it only happens to every G920FD user. So don't bother with that, yet, maybe for their next update.

XTC - Openline is updating, I think SMA and GLB are already receiving the updates, these three are always in sync when it comes to updates. ;)

Yup, you should OTA update, now.. Not really that excited, not much changes, no raw support, no shutter speed control..

Ohh... wait scratch that.. Snap speed, Camera FV-5 or Manual camera supports it. Stock camera doesn't seem to incorporate it.

:fingers-crossed: :victory:

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

You must have a network carrier version. I don't know if it's safe to flash XTC stock firmware, I've got an XTC version of both Flat S6 and S6 Edge.

I guess the D stands for the duos version, but the same internals as the G920F except for the duos part. Don't worry every international G920FD version is like that... G920F in the ROM but G920FD in the back panel, to distinguished itself from G920F. Well, except the ones in china and HK which is a G9200 duos version.

I've only tried Unikernel on my duos, it's based on stock.. It's the only kernel that supports duos s6 G920FD version, so it's the only custom kernel I've flashed. The developer just only tweaked the kernel to it's best functioning capacity, and he also added Ram Management Fix through DHA properties in build.prop, with an init.d support. Battery has been great, first time I've seen my flat s6 get past the whole day.

Just visit here for more info on his kernel:

Galaxy S6 SM-692OF Signal Problems

Hi, guys! Some of you here have suggested really helpful tips regarding my problem. I just want to repost this again, in the hopes of looking for better answers or permanent solutions. Thank you!

I'm on Globe Postpaid and I've been experiencing problems with my Samsung Galaxy S6 Duos.

I've been been getting very weak signals, compared to other phones used in the same location (My S6 compared to my bro's Note 4). As a result, I encounter great difficulty in sending/receiving messages and making/taking calls. In areas where signals are really strong, I don't encounter difficulties with reception.

My older Galaxy S3 did not act up this way. Anyone else experiencing signal reception issues? Thanks for your feedback!
