battery drain sleep

I have lost 2 % percent in 3 hours, while the phone is in standby? is this ok?
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Pretty good
[Galaxy S6 General] ngupta93:
its due to additional aaps which are there by Samsung which are not required by user and by rooting the device those apps can be disable or can be removed

Hey guys, I found a review of the S6's lesser known features:

OT

Just saw Avengers Age of Ultron and there is a scene of Black Widow holding S6 , I must say that's some smart marketing by samsung :eek:

As for the movie , definitely watch it if you liked the 1st one , ~50% of it is just action scenes which are actually good :D , some humor here and there , also there are sooo many characters in the movie so it definitely lacks some character development but as a whole series of movies I think it will covered later on .

Also there is a post credit scene about............ *thanos*

Of course if you know who he is ;)

TL;DR

MUST

watch for avenger fans

Good
[Galaxy S6 General] JLishere:
Thanks for sharing. Just tried SideSync and it's very smooth. Works on Windows and Mac. Some apps have this ability, like Airdroid. But it's nice to see this from Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 General] NexusDro:
I just got the s6 at the bell store in Canada and the box was unsealed. The salesperson said Samsung doesn't seal their phones, is that true?
[Galaxy S6 General] Hanson68:
Total BS. The box itself isn't sealed, but the sleeve over the box has plastic stickers on either side that effectively seal the box. It's the same way they've packaged Galaxy phones since at least the S3.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Take that back. It should be sealed

My review of the S6 and S6 Edge is live. Detailed. Any questions please ask

http://gavinsgadgets.com/2015/04/27/samsung-galaxy-s6-edge-the-review/
[Galaxy S6 General] vegetaleb:
Thanks alot! This is perhaps the best review of S6 because you give details that normal user need, I was afraid the sound volume will be low with earphones (specially that I come from M8) but from your review it looks like my Hifiman Re-272 will have plenty of volume :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] RS050377:
How is the usability of the golden S6 edge in bright sunlight in case of reflections?
[Galaxy S6 General] gavinfabl:
Really cool to look at :) it does reflect slightly but doesnt bother me.

I hit the thanks button on your review post, but it's probably worth saying to you in a post: I really appreciate the time and effort you put into the review. It really is excellent.
[Galaxy S6 General] Roobwz:
Really nice review man.
[Galaxy S6 General] Larxia:
I work for a Bell store, I can honestly say that none of our S6's have any sort of tape or seal on them. Just comes in the box with the sleeve around it. This is the case with all our Samsung phones.

That being said, different carriers seem to do things differently. Rogers put a small piece of tape on the side.
[Galaxy S6 General] darksimo:
Hi! Purchased today ,i hope that i ll not be disapointed like s5 , for the moment i ll not root it ,perhaps one of our great dev will find the miraculous way to do it without tripping knox and keeping payment .
[Galaxy S6 General] vegetaleb:
My very 1st quick review while waiting for my final full one,

coming from M8

:

Screen: After a 1st unboxed unit that had pink tint on the lower part of the screen (returned it), I got a second one with a perfect beautiful screen. You really feel a step forward compared to M8's SLCD3, photos and wallpapers in true QHD are extremely crisp and full of details. Screen under sunlight is very good specially with Auto brightness.

Speaker: After reading all the negative reviews about the speaker and 2 years of Boomsound stereo speakers (M7 and M8), I am quite happy with the S6's one! It's pretty loud, sometimes even louder than both speakers of M8, it has some bass and it's clear enough, nothing to do with the old canned sound of S4.

Earphones and BT: I didn't root yet my phone as I have a full week swappable option, I used stock music app and Neutron, with the stock app the sound quality with my RE-272 is pretty good but max volume could take a little extra, same over BT SBH-50, with Neutron though thanks to the extra gain I have more than enough max volume on both wired and BT (tried with HTC Stereoclip in my car) even more than stock M8 volume output, needless to say sound quality with Neutron is superior, even with the limited Stereoclip BT 2.1 aptx quality the soundstage is wide and you can hear instruments separations.

Camera: Well as all other said, it's WOW! the quality is sooo nice in both good light and low light that it's like having a 16mp Ultrapixel camera if it ever existed, I never had such results in Auto at night taking photos of Beirut city. The only little bad things I have found is that in Auto if you are facing the sun at dusk even with HDR it tends to be under-exposed for the immediate scene if something is doing shade, I had to use Pro mode and +1 exposure to get it right, it must be a metering bug as I touch the darkest part to make it brighter but it won't get brighter. perhaps the post processing is protecting the whole photo to be too bright or something?

Some photos are about 4.5mb and other 8mb, the max I achieved was with selective focus which gave me a 20mb photo :laugh:

As with Galvin I am having some difficult times with the fingerprint scan, I hope to find the right trick to make it right all the time

[Galaxy S6 General] blackstallion:
Got the VZW variant release day and been fairly happy with it. I've always had an HTC (Droid Incredible and Droid DNA) so I was skeptical in going with Samsung but the S6 was a no brainer over the M9 from a spec/benchmark and camera perspective. I do have several noticeable "issues" that would stop me from giving highest marks at this point in time. 1) Random app crashes and frozen screens and general lag. I hear this may be related to bad RAM management and Samsung is working on a fix, but it's getting annoying at this point. 2) In the bright sun, when on a light or white screen, you can see a faint line/bar running vertically down the left side of the screen. Further, the screen is blotchy. This is only visible in the sun when the screen is at its brightest...maybe this a general characteristic of AMOLED screens? 3) GPS sometimes seems to lose its location and the Google Maps app will go crazy. Not sure if this is a hardware or software/firmware issue.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
The lines you see in the sun is the panel behind the screen. As far as i know they all have this. At least the majority. I think because its such a thin with plus the sun plus the insane brightness it gets to the panel is visible
[Galaxy S6 General] 8roundsrapid:
S6 flat white 64gb . Returned due to slight gap between screen and frame . Ignoring that build quality is excellent .

Screen is beautiful excellent colours without the overly saturated hues of the s3 , also very bright . Speaker quality very good considering no front facing . Headphones loud and bright with adaptive sound adjusted to your headset and hearing levels . Overall wonderful for media .

Touchwiz is better , smooth , lagfree. Menus are less intense . Icons do look outdated though. But easily switched with launcher and icon pack .

Fingerprint scanner much better , but quick tip is to register your prefered finger twice for better results .

Battery is ok but not great . Will easily last average user a whole day .

Only real negative is on a white screen the tone can be a bit patchy with pink hues towards bottom of device .only slight and takes a keen eye to notice . Seemed a bit worse on a friends edge version which also had a blueish hue on the edges due to inevitable light refraction through curved glass . I stress this is not prominent and only on a white screen .
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Whites are generally no great on the s6. Annoyed me for a bit but used to it now. Lollipop ui is based on white
[Galaxy S6 General] vegetaleb:
My review is up Vegetaleb Honest Review of S6 coming from long term HTC phones

It has lot of camera photos samples too ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Great review. My first one had a.horrible yellow tint. My second has slight pink tint. But very minium and have to look hard to see it. As close to perfect as im gonna get.

You were in the same boat as me. I had the m7 for a year followed by m8 for abother year. So this review was great
[Galaxy S6 General] wan2tri:
Despite the size increase (esp. on the screen), it actually felt "lighter" than my older S3. And obviously it's thinner too. And still just as easy to hold too.

Just one minor gripe: when I play Love Live School Idol Festival my fingers will inevitably cover the loudspeaker. So my finger has to not touch the phone while holding it during play. The location of the 3.5mm jack is a slight advantage though. When using headphones/earphones while playing the game, its relatively closeness towards the longer edge compared to the S3 meant the wire will unlikely impede with handling the phone.

It's been more than two days now with me but I still haven't played my music or watched videos with it yet, however. Haven't used the camera either. LOL
[Galaxy S6 General] Tron666:
Haven't done all that with s6 in your hand??? You're crazy!!
[Galaxy S6 General] saar17:
I love this phone!

Mu only problem is with the camera. For some reason when shooting on auto there is a lot of noise and the only way to fix it it to go into pro mode and to change the ISO to 100.

I think that android 5.1.1 will make this phone even better because most of the complaints that people are having with this phone are to be blamed of 5.0.2
[Galaxy S6 General] Drdra3:
I thought about getting an s6 but I can't justify the upgrade from the s5.
[Galaxy S6 General] gehlbj09:
too many changes, flaws in the design

I naught the s6 edge originally, I now have the s6. Either way they both have some flaws in my opinion. While the aluminum looks great, it leaves the device vulnerable to shock. I've owned every galaxy since the 3, I've LOVED them all, I mean they all had a few things here and there that I wasn't a fan of but I lived with it. The S6......well I'm disappointed. All aluminum and glass, no removable back/battery, no external storage....so I'm forced to spend more money for storage....I have a perfectly good SD card right here! Not to mention, I loved that me s5 was PROMOTED as water proof/resistant. The S6 isnt sealed....so mad! And the EDGE.....don't get me started, the stupid screen broke IN THE STORE! CRAP! O and....the battery doesn't last like my s5.
[Galaxy S6 General] esi2121:
gurantee and warranty

can unrooting gave warranty back for s6??
[Galaxy S6 General] pahardie:
Just thought I'd add my 2 cents worth to this thread! I've come to the s6 from my trusty nexus 4 running 5.1, my last Samsung was an SII.

Firstly the good (very good)

Screen - just stunning even though I'm using basic mode.

Camera - brilliant fast and amateur friendly!

Speed - its just great

Build quality is fantastic, still getting used to the size vs my nexus 4 but its really nice.

Fingerprint sensor is very good and reliable

The OK

Touchwiz is just OK / meh, I don't like the Samsung equivalents of any of apps besides the camera so have installed all the google ones including launcher.

I do like the fitness stuff quite a bit

Wireless charging is nice too although I do use my phone plugged in a fair bit.

The bad

Battery isn't great, although I'm only 2 days in and people say it does improve. I start to struggle about 4pm after being off charge for 10hrs with 2.5 hours screen time.

The really bad

I understand this maybe a google thing but I've not had it on my nexus 4 with 5.1..

Memory! This thing has 3gb of memory, so I'd expect to be able to leave apps open and switch between them whenever. But no. Memory is in such short supply apps get shut moments after switching.

Eg I use dolphin for work email and have a tab open all the time. On my nexus I could have it open for days no problem, on the s6 it gets closed almost as soon as I switch focus. Same with games, pause a game do some email or something and when you switch back it reopens the app from scratch.

Sorry if this has been mentioned a lot but its ridiculous.

Anyway I've bored you all long enough!
[Galaxy S6 General] joro2077:
+1
[Galaxy S6 General] DeMi-GoD:
Do you think the memory problem will be fixed with an update?
[Galaxy S6 General] pahardie:
Reading around the internet there is lots of talks about memory leaks and 5.0.x and that they'll be fixed in 5.1.1 but I didn't really have any issues on my nexus 4 with 5.1.0. Having all the crap Samsung run can't help, I mean seriously I have never seen so much bloat under applications > all. I miss the stripped back nexus approach!

I think I will try some of the debloated roms that seem to be coming on line, but hopefully 5.1.1 will be along soon and it'll tidy things up. One thing Samsung do well is improve things over the life time of a device so fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
New update might fix the issue:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6_is_receiving_a_new_502_ota_in_europe-news-12195.php

"As some of you might remember, a lot of Galaxy S6 users have been reporting some severe memory issues and drops in performance. Samsung recognized the problem and promised to remedy it in future micro updates. Judging from the improved stability and speed of the unit, we can fairly safely state that the memory leak was handled after the update."
[Galaxy S6 General] pahardie:
just had this OTA (vodafone uk) will see how it goes. I couldn't reflash twrp after the update though, but cfautoroot still worked.

To get the update I had to odin the original firmware to get rid of root and recovery. memory at the moment is around 600mb free.. which is the same as before. But as people say its not what is free that counts its what it does with the stuff that is in use.
[Galaxy S6 General] musiclover7:
Memory is supposed to get used. That is not a Samsung thing, nor is it a detractor. You said yourself the speed was very good, so unless you start experiencing lag, don't worry about the memory. That is not the worst thing about this phone. I will be passing, simply because of the lack of SD card support. Imo, the playing field is ripe for another player. I like the fast storage that the phone comes with, but I have grown accustomed to storing a lot of files on my phone. No external SD card is a deal breaker. I wish they had came out with an S6 plastic?
[Galaxy S6 General] pahardie:
I have no issue with the amount of memory free, I'm concerned about how the memory in use is being clawed back hindering proper multi tasking.

If a 3 year old phone with 2gb ram can leave apps open in the background to switch back to I'd expect a brand new phone with 3gb to match or exceed that.

The newest update seems to have helped, apps aren't as quick to close.

Fully agree with you about removable storage by the way!
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucidd33:
Hi, you've got the latest update already? Is it automatic? I thought the carrier has to approve first. Thx
[Galaxy S6 General] pahardie:
Yes I got it ota because I'm on Vodafone uk.
[Galaxy S6 General] DeMi-GoD:
I read online that the update made the phone a lot faster too and that the battery is better. I'm hoping the update fixed the cell standby battery drain issue. Do you know if it did? I have no idea when Verizon will get it.

Sent from my Galaxy S6 ~
[Galaxy S6 General] pahardie:
Never had the cell standby issue but I think battery is a lot better. Currently 1 day 5 hours with 3.5hrs onscreen time and still at 27% everything turned on (WiFi GPS sfit etc)

The speed of the phone has been awesome all along but I do think this update has made it better. The closing of background apps doesn't seem as aggressive any more.
[Galaxy S6 General] V1ViD:
Switched from the Nexus 6 and I have to say that I like this phone...A LOT. Samsung has really toned down touchwiz and the phone is insanely fast, including the camera. My nexus was always so slow opening the camera app, and even slower taking the picture. I also haven't noticed a single slow down or the phone starting to bog down from touchwiz, I'm excited for the update that'll fix the memory problems because thats the only issue I currently have.
[Galaxy S6 General] daleski75:
I also switched from the Nexus 6 and the S6 has taken me by surprise it really is a very good phone and touchwiz is now half decent and not the sick bag inducing touchwiz of old.
[Galaxy S6 General] kimkara:
Off the bat I love the phone despite it using a nano sim (have an emergency phone that only uses micro sim) and non removable battery or SD slot.

The 32 gig is more than sufficient, if I need more storage I use a USB adapter and plug in my stick.

Battery life is ok-ish but given that it uses fast charge and a wireless charger that helps as I can top my phone up when I'm in the office.

The ultra power saving mode is a bit of a joke, 1.6 days on a full charge whereas the S5 could give over 5 days.

Speed is amazing on paper but there is still stutter and lag in touch wiz when scrolling.

Speaker tends to distort at high volumes but I mostly use earphones so this is not an issue for me

General construction is good but I still have my concerns with the durability of the aluminum finish. I have no idea how these will deal with a small bump or fall, will they bend?

The glass back gets a bit slippery on a hot sweaty day (without case).

This all being said I purchased a Pure Gear dual tek case for the phone as I am a little hard on the equipment hiding. The beauty of this phone unfortunately is hidden by most covers so the finish is actually irrelevant.

Samsung have hidden some of the features on my device like SpO2 and stress meter (regional restrictions) however this was easily fixed by flashing other region firmware.

Time will tell if the sealed battery was a good or bad idea as this device has to last me at least 2 years.

EDIT: I was asked what I use to connect my USB to the phone. I use something similar to this http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-5in-Micro-Host-Adapter/dp/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1431606151&sr=8-2&keywords=micro+usb+adapter
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
I was just gonna ask about the USB adapter too.... So if I put all my Music on the the adapter and hook to my phone can I pick and choose what to transfer from USB stick.... Ya I thought ultra power save was funny too... The battery's between S5 and S6 aren't that different yet S5 gets almost 5 days and S6 gets little over 1 day... Weird
[Galaxy S6 General] kimkara:
Correct. You can also use EX File exporter and connect to your NAS (if you have one) at home to transfer files to and from your device.
[Galaxy S6 General] RyuHayabusa80:
My Note4 in Ultra Power Saving shows 14 days, unfortunatly even with screen off, after couples of hours, battery from 100% goes to 84/80% showing still 11days...

I don't really trust this Saving Setting when time showed more then 2/3 days... They are not anymore Nokia 8310 with 1 week battery life from full charging

With my New Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge 128GB, after full charged and enable Ultra Power Saving, it shows me "23.30 Hours" left, sometimes "1 Day" left.

Once disable and using the smartphone in Normal Mode or Power Saving, display takes all battery sources, and battery goes down very quickly.

Normal Mode: 11/12 Hours

Power Saving: 12/14 Hours

Ultra Power Saving: 23/24 Hours

If i have to compare to my iPhone 6 Plus without power saving, I have more then 1 Day and 10 Hours (just brightness 50%, and disable WiFi, when I am not at home)

PS: about how to transfer data between mobile using OTG USB devices or cables, I sort it out in this way:

1º > SanDisk Micro/USB FlashDrive 64GB

2º > SanDisk MultiMedia Wireless Drive 32GB + SD 32GB

Unfortunately even with OTG USB Cable I cannot connect my WD Elements 2TB coz of Low Tension USB on phone, cannot give enough power to Hard Drive.
[Galaxy S6 General] grom96:
I think Samsung is becoming like apple , I really do hope not
[Galaxy S6 General] kimkara:
use a USB powered hub if you really need to connect to a 2.5 HDD
[Galaxy S6 General] RyuHayabusa80:
Using a Hub powered i will lose the easy mobility of the smartphone and an HDD 2.5"

At home I can share by PC/Mac all contents from HDD in wireless, without any phisical connection between HDD and SmartPhone.

[Galaxy S6 General] kimkara:
Don't hold your breath. I been running on this version for a few days now and see no improvement. ram is constantly 83 % usage with a minimal apps on the phone.

is it rootable with pingpong?

edit; yes after a few tries

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

RAM is supposed to be used, it's a good thing, it keeps apps from having to load continously only when the OS doesn't release this cache (which linux is very good at) does is become a problem
[Galaxy S6 General] kimkara:
Agreed that ram is a good thing. however when you have a factory reset phone chewing through 85 % of 3 gig of ram with no extra apps running this should be raising red flags for Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 General] George.B:
Just bought my S6 about three days ago. I am very happy with it. It's the best phone I've ever had. And I've had a lot of them. No problems with it. No battery drain, no lag with Nova Launcher, camera it is exceptional, and the display it's fantastic. I've had QHD on LG G3 and Note 4, but by far this is the best of them. Moved from Note 4 and I am very happy that Samsung finally convinced me not to go with the Dark Apple Side :)
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
All Linux based os's will do that, it's only a problem when oom killer sets in or the system starts swapping
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
I have a 892 mb free at the moment on the new update with all the crap disabled. Only issue now is small apps still reloading randomly.
[Galaxy S6 General] trancerziloth:
A bit dismay due to RAM eating even though no apps are running in background. Badly need the OS update that fixes the RAM management issue.
