[Galaxy S6 General] poczynek:
Just thought I’d put a short guide together on what I think are some things to do to get the most out of your spanking new Samsung S6 when you get it or you already have it. Most of you guys might already know most of this or might not. Just thought it might help some people. This ain’t rocket science but every little bit helps!

Battery:

This is the hardest thing to do because like a fingerprint everyone has a different set up with apps and how they use their phone (wifi vs 3g vs 4g etc) that screen on time will always vary. Also you don’t want to turn everything off and cripple your brand new smartphone just for your battery. There’s a balance.

However here are some general things to do that do help:

1. Install Greenify from the Playstore. I have found this is the number one way to stop drainage. This app will hibernate apps when not in use. It doesn’t stop their functionality at all but hibernates them.

2. Don’t use Google Now. I think it’s a gimmick and does bugger all for me however if you use it it will drain your battery big time. Of course if you love it then use it!

3. Don’t use location services. Another big drainer. Just use it when you need it. However if you have apps that need it then of course leave it on!

4. Use ‘auto’ on screen brightness.

4. Don't use the Facebook app. It's a massive drain of battery. And Facebook is awful.

5. If you continue to get big drainage then download Gsam battery from the Playstore and look at the ‘wakelocks’ – this way you will be able to see what’s draining your battery. As a general rule your phone should go into deep sleep for at least 80% of the time.

This way you should get 5+ plus hours of Screen on Time.

Performance:

Here are a few things only that really do help with speed and performance - even though this phone really doesn't need it it still helps!:

1. Go to Dev Options and change the transition animation scale, the animator duration scale and the window animation scale to 0.5. This little thing speeds up your phone like nothing else.

2. Root* your phone with Cf auto root. And then start debloating. Get rid of whatever you want by downloading Titanium Backup and going into each app and freezing whatever you want. Freezing is safer than uninstalling but does the same thing. Debloating is a must!

*And yes I know the Knox arguments for not rooting but I've rooted every Samsung phone I've ever owned and sold every Samsung phone I've ever owned.

*And yes I know that you won't be able to use Samsung Pay but it ain't coming out for months and there's too much freedom you get from rooting to not do it because of this.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Just an FYI... Google Now does not drain your battery!!

[Galaxy S6 General] PlatinumNick:
do you have any battery life screenshots of your s6 with these steps done?
[Galaxy S6 General] pablo1215:
This is not untrue advice but it is also not new to this device at all. This is the same advice on android years ago and it's basically saying turn off everything that drains the battery then you get 5 hours of screen on time. Well most people want to use google now, facebook, and location services so that defeats the purpose of the phone. Really there needs to be some serious improvements in battery tech but so far we as consumers are allowing companies to get away with putting sub par battery performance in their flagship phones and we keep buying them anyway. I am guilty of it too but it does not give companies any real incentive to focus on battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Every link is like 6+ months old. It will not drain your battery if you keep location off...
[Galaxy S6 General] poczynek:
Of course if you turn location off but that's the point - it's made to be used with location on which will drain battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
I have a Tasker profile set to automatically turn on GPS whenever I go into Google Now, then as an exit task it automatically turns off GPS. So no battery drain for me :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] km8j:
How does this help you get the benefit of google now such as parking reminders, etc?
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Parking reminders?? I don't need that as I live in upstate NY (Dutchess County)... pretty hard to forget where you park your car lol.
[Galaxy S6 General] tryfound:
Browse to Facebook on your phone using Chrome then go to chrome settings and press "add to home screen". Problem solved [emoji6]

I do this and get much better standby battery life. I can't part with messenger though, but you can access your messages from the mobile site too if you don't care about getting notifications.
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
Let's use the most powerful Android smartphone currently on the market as a dumb phone is basically the gist of the advice given!
[Galaxy S6 General] kevingary0611:
Thanks for your tips. Useful for me :)
[Galaxy S6 General] zhoowa:
Just scored 29hours runtime i thought impossible in first few days. With just lux app and tasker auto sync only. No root.

Edit: with greenify too but i find it useless without root
[Galaxy S6 General] TL24:
Jesus, you've basically disabled your phone, why not just return it and go with a pre-paid flip phone? Listen I understand there's definitely a battery issue with the S6 but come on guys, just have a charger with you until this is addressed via an OTA update or something.
[Galaxy S6 General] flu13:
Using GSAM, how do I see Wakelocks and how do I see Deep Sleep?
[Galaxy S6 General] zhoowa:
Good luck with that [emoji1]

There is mucho more things i would like to disable of course. And they are useless to me too. I just shared my settings no need for calling flip phone unless it is samsung i9230 [emoji16]
[Galaxy S6 General] fachadick:
I know this is old, but can you lay out how you set up this tasker profile? I'm rooted, with secure settings installed, but gps is still inaccessible through tasker. tia
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
1. Go to profiles

2. Click the "+" in the bottom right

3. Click application

4. Select maps and any other app you want to automatically turn on GPS

5. Add task... Secure settings GPS on
[Galaxy S6 General] fachadick:
Thanks - I followed your guide to root without tripping knox the other day, and never installed busybox (on other phones that was always installed automatically). Once I installed busybox it allowed me turn gps on and off. Is there any way to check that it worked and see it turn on or off, since there's no visible stock toggle?
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
What do you mean?? There's a toggle for location.
[Galaxy S6 General] fachadick:
Well yes, but turning gps on and off through tasker doesn't affect the location toggle - those are two different things. And you can still use location with gps off, the phone would just use wifi and towers at that point (or something similar).
[Galaxy S6 General] PunishedSnake:
shouldnt have to root to get a working phone lol

5.1 made it better but not to where a $900 phone should
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
No.
[Galaxy S6 General] fachadick:
No to which part?

Turning gps on and off through tasker has no effect on the location toggle for me, does it for you? If I turn location off, then turn gps on (or off) through tasker, the location toggle stays off. If I turn location on, then turn gps off (or on) through tasker, the location toggle stays on.

When I go into location settings, there are three options under locating method; GPS wi-fi, and mobile networks, wi-fi and mobile networks, and gps only. On other phones phones I've used, when I turned off gps (through tasker or otherwise), that option would change to wifi and mobile networks, and when I turned gps back on, it would revert back to GPS wi-fi, and mobile networks.

What am I missing?
[Galaxy S6 General] JoeFCaputo113:
That no matter what the location toggle will be switched on/off.
[Galaxy S6 General] ShadowVlican:
If you're rooted, just use Greenify and Amplify (I'm not rooted, so I can't vouch for their effectiveness on the S6, but they were brilliant on my Sony Xperia Z Ultra 4.4.4)

and obviously disabling features/apps you don't use will help improve battery life... but that's a given...
[Galaxy S6 General] fachadick:
Weird - it's not changing at all for me. I'll play around with it some more over the weekend. It was so much easier when there was a specific toggle for gps...

no exposed on touchwiz for the gs6 yet
[Galaxy S6 General] zdravkodubravec:
My battery tip would be to charge with regular slow charger over night and if it is necessary to use quick charger for short charging ... For now I have better battery performance ...and I will continue to test it ...
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Haha.... Ah geez.... Sigh.
[Galaxy S6 General] gregzeng:
Instead of Greenify, I used to use Hibernate on all my devices, since it was redundant. But the latest Android 5.1.1 on my S6 is no longer compatible with Hibernate, so Greenify it is.

Often my screen is too bright in total darkness, so I use "Display Brightness" freware from the Playstore. It allows "negative" brightness, easily set with options (autohide/ color/ timing).

"All-in-one Toolbox" allows (de)selection of autostart apps, as well as easy backup-restore of existing apps, etc. On my other devices, I used to need "Startup Auditor", but this is not available (not needed?) on my S6.
[G4] willroy:
I have a g4 which is a bit dead right now.

Basically I have been playing round with trying out different roms. Its CID locked so I have been using shelltool.

On my last flash, something disrupted it and I had to disconnect. No when I turn it on it hangs on the splash screen (o2).

So what do I do now?

I tried downloading the original software from o2 and ried flashing that with the update facility whilst in boot loader mode and it comes up with a 300 error saying i need an updated update thingy.

Can any one suggest anything? Thanks

Will

Now i have 1 question- Is it possible to go back to original rom which imate k jam gave me.
Does it change the IPL SPl and GSM.

Thanks Alot Great job.
[G4] luiggi:
Be careful

IPL and SPL are not touched, I can not answer if you would be able to go back to your original ROM, and agin: when I tried to flash my Cingular "Original" or "official" ROM from the Cingular site my Extended ROM was wiped, so as today I can flash the original ROM but my Ext ROM went to limbo.

Good luck!

The shelltool thread mentions what to do if your phone is stuck on a splash screen. Perhaps you could re-read certain parts of it, in order to get the answer to your post.

Flashed through TWRP. I used the other version on KK and don't remember any kind if resetting. Just having to turn on and off the display after boot for it to activate.

What is the sharpening fix? How different for it make the display look?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Sher The Love:
The article below should help. To me, it looks like the display is overly softened, creating more of a fuzzy look. Over sharpening creates more of a jagged look (at least that's what over sharpening on my TV and PC monitor does)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverdye97:
Hey guys,

I know there are threads everywhere like this, but all I want to do is take my M7 back to stock and sell it. I've tried everything I've seen and I'm frustrated. I have root with SuperSU and TWRP recovery. I had S-OFF with an unlocked bootloader and stock Lollipop, then used revone to set the lock flag and set S-ON and remove tampered. Then I hit factory reset in bootloader, which was a huge mistake because now it's S-ON and tampered.

Since then I've tried revone, and setting the -P flag does not work, and running ./revone -s 0 -u on my mac doesn't work either. I'm running revone with su. I've also tried rumrunner in Windows on VMWare, which never gets past the sanitizing stage (even though SuperUser is granting permission to 'id'), and it just displays TTTTT**************** and press Enter to Exit.

I've also tried both locked and unlocked, and I had a newer hboot before and it didn't work either.

Here's my bootloader:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-ON RH

HBOOT-1.60.0000

RADIO-1.01.20.1225

OpenDSP-v35.120.274.0718

OS-6.16.651.2

eMC-boot 2048MB

Jan 9 2015,22:07:44.0

I'm out of ideas and I just want the quickest way to be done with this phone and sell it.

Thanks in advance!

Lock the bootloader and flash the 7.x RUU and forget about it

Only HTC cares about the phone saying Tampered / Relocked no one else cares
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverdye97:
Ok I guess. Was hoping there's a simple way to do it because the phone just sold and I hadn't posted that it has a tampered flag. Is this the RUU I should use? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658910. I need a decryped version I can install with Mac because I'm not having luck with the Windows RUUs in VMWare.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverdye97:
How can I upgrade hboot to have more options? Also, is that that the right RUU to use? Lastly, trying to relock bootloader with revone and that's not working now.

Thanks for the help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Sunshine is the only option for hboot 1.57 and up. Upgrading hboot won't give you more options. Revone is only to be used with hboot 1.44. If you want to relock then use fastboot oem lock. And no this is not the right ruu. It must be same version or higher when s-on.

[Motorola Droid 4] vananucho:
SO far so good...

This ROM has been my daily driver for about 2 weeks. The only problem It has is that the screen randomly locks up once a day or so but no big deal. Also I had trouble with the official facebook app as it hogs out the phone but I also had those issues on Stock, CM12 (.1) and on some other roms on the OG RAZR but I blame the FB app itself as that thing is horribly built haha :p so I'm using only the Messenger app & Naked browser in place of stock to squeze some more free RAM from this thing to multitask a bit smoother. Data, Calls & SMS work perfectly. Battery lasts all day, Heavy games like GTA and NOVA run a bit smoother than stock.... No OC no tweaks... I cannot simply believe this thing is so stable for a phone as dated as the droid haha. :good::good::good::good:

I also made a n00b friendly install tutorial in spanish. Might do a full review and face off against other devices later.

The main question is, will it fit?

So. ..I may just be painfuly slow but I can't figure or how to install opera. Just set my gear up about an hour ago and looks awesome but I can't figure out how to get opera mini. Searched for it in the gear app store but couldn't find it anywhere. Only see gearweb.

[Samsung Gear S] Ashton_Durkhun:
On my device (phone) it's the second entry under "Gear Essentials" (make sure you scrolled down to the bottom of the categories) Cant immagine it matters, but I'm on a SGN4 so it *could* be device-specific but I rather doubt it.

Also, dont get your hopes up. It's great for a few things, but the number you immagine and the number that work are VERY different... mostly because webpages dont always resize, so you have to scroll over every few words. it takes ten minutes to read three lines... (but for other things where you only need to see one or two quick things, like checking your subs on a forum to see if you need to take your laptop out at lunch, it's great!)
[Samsung Gear S] jonofpdx:
Thanks for the reply.

That is so weird! It just. ..isn't there for me.

There is a gear essentials list, but opera isn't on it.

Any other ideas guys?
[Samsung Gear S] AfroCreame:
Yeah I don't see it either.
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
Joy of Galaxy App market :( Seriously, Samsung should not be in the business of managing its own app market.

I can search for Opera and it shows up for me and it is in the front page of the Gear App store for me as well as a recommended app for Gear S.

However, in the past I had a wonderful experience of not even able to see Gear Manager from Galaxy App store while still able to see it on another different phone. Samsung has too many phones and it just didn't know how to properly manage its app store, e.g. which app is available to which phone.
[Samsung Gear S] AfroCreame:
My guess is that it has been removed and only individuals who previously installed it can still access it.
[Samsung Gear S] Hielko:
The Samsung app store for Gear is organized based on country and phone model. When an app is not in the store, this can be caused by the country in which you live or by the phone connected with the Gear. The best you can do is send a message to the developer of the app and ask why you can't see it.
[Samsung Gear S] apprentice:
It's in the Gear Apps store for me and it's 'featured' on the main page of the store. I am in the United Kingdom. Maybe it's country specific.
[Samsung Gear S] cipherswitch:
Is the gear s the only smart watch paired to the phone??

[Samsung Gear S] soric23:
Apparently, now with this Gear S not being able to fully function I'm wondering if it's worth keeping.

I'm liking it for the most part, but I really dislike this aspect.

Is there any other way to install apps on a Gear S?
[Samsung Gear S] foxbat121:
Not that I know of. You can connect the watch to an older Samsung phone to install it but you can't connect back to your shiny new S6 Edge because it will reset your watch and loss everything, including the Opera. Or you can simply wait for Samsung to fix its app market.

On the other hand, I'm never a fan of Opera mini on the watch. It is not that useful at all. The tiny screen makes browsing random web page almost impossible. And the fact that no Opera Mini can ever support public wifi hotspots that require a sign in page makes it even more useless.
[Samsung Gear S] soric23:
Thanks for the replies, appreciate all the help.

Guess all this new gear is to new for samsung or the app devs.
