I got SwiftKey Flow keyboard installed and disabled default Samsung keyboard but it keeps reopening. Any other people here using a different keyboard?
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
Camera quick start is not working after reboot (I use fingerprint lockscreen). I always have to toggle the option to make it work again.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Yes. That is the brightness sensor. If it is working then everything is fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Ofc it's a secure lockscreen measure. The phone has to be unlocked to start the cam
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Known issue happen, its a ****ty script override from Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
no, it's not even working when unlocked
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Is your sync on?
[Galaxy S6 General] migueli2:
It's like before the hard reset.

Although today seemed to work fine.

But 1Gb uploaded and downloaded.... seems to me a lot during an idle time.

random reboots problem

Does anybody of you had a problem with crashing apps and random reboots? I do have these problem since second day of purchasing the phone. phone stop responding and after 5 seconds it reboot itself. Tried hard reset tried in safe mode. Tried diferent country rom. Nothing changes. Random rebbots on s6 didnt stops.
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
Is your device rooted?
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
No i didnt root my phone. I thought maybe its better to wait well talked update 5.1.1 maybe its a software problem and if it fix this poblem
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
Okay, just thought of a failure caused by rooting. Seems more like a hardware issue then!?
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
Yea maybe its a hardware probleme. But there are more than 10 people in this forum that reporting the same problem. Aps sudenly crashing.. phone freeze and than restarts itself and does function normal after 15 min if you write search net or look pictures ist freeze again and than again renoot. Sometimes you need to restart yourself
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
I would guess for a heat issue or a memory corruption issue. Not sure if there is anything like memtest for Android. You could try 3dmark and see if it runs all tests fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] crobo:
You could try a hard reset and see if the phone crashes/reboots with the standard settings and apps. So dont install any extra apps for a couple of hours and dont change to many settings. If the phone still crashes and/or reboots than bring it back to the store.
[Galaxy S6 General] Benruk:
I have random reboots too and I am trying a lot of things. I think that is a software issue and maybe relationed with RAM because I disable a few apps and random reboots have decreased.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
No random reboots on mine. Infact I haven't rebooted in 20 days. Uptime is like 500 hrs almost
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
I've seen sort of locks, not deadlocks, when an alert or calendar notification is incoming, while the screen is locked. under some circumstances, the alert flickers heavily and you may end up with a black screen and only a reboot can get you out of there.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Woah.. Sounds severe... Why does it happen.. What kinda alerts are you talking about
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
I mean alerts for clock events or for events in the calendar. Seems like the alert window wants to draw itself on top, even if i can start the camera via fast launch, it flickers and is not really usable, so far I've not found a 100% repro case :(

Home button scratches

Hey guys, I'm new here… Just wanted to ask if you guys have scratches on the home button. I wonder if scratches will eventually affect the biometrics.

Thx!

Here's what I've found ... No wonder the button scratches so easily. This can be a major issue, pls confirm.

https://techpolarity.wordpress.com
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
The scratches may affect the reader, but I don't think it will destroy the reader at all. If such deep scratches happen, you have bad luck or abused your phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
i just posted a video on youtube,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsOAGhZvq84

first it freeze and than it reboots after 2 mins, and sometimes i need to reboot it in order to work

tried everything , tried new rom from vodaphone italy, that some say it fix memory leek but same, nothing changes, exept i have more ram now :( sad

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

it runs all the test good, no problem doing test, but it comes itself to freeze and after rebout it works like a charm sometimes a half haour and than start to freeze again
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
Get a replacement. I would say it's a CPU isssue, probably heat or/and voltage, like when you run benchmarks it works fine or after a reboot and then when processes settle down, the CPU frequency and core usage drops/changes and you get a deadlock.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
Any 3rd party apps?

Sent from my SM-G900F
[Galaxy S6 General] brainard52:
I'm not sure why I've got to post this, but memory management with the Linux kernel is actually different from how most think. As RAM is the best storage in terms of speed/amount, Linux abuses it. It caches resources extremely aggressively.

A quick google search brought these articles up:

http://www.linuxatemyram.com/

https://atomicorp.com/company/blogs/259-why-does-linux-use-so-much-memory.html <-This one seems to be very detailed. The colorscheme makes it hard to read, though.
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
No 3rd part apps just stock. Hard resseted 10 times but no luck. Tomorrow ill try to hard reset and install no app and no account and no wiffi. Someone sad me to not turn on wifi at all just use eg and than problem is solved. Im trying thus tomorrow and let you know is it helped me
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
If not please send to SC, Suspect the hw failure
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
I also just got a SM-G920I... I have every has several soft reboots and horrible lte signal... Wondering if this issues was resolved
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
tryed hard reset, no apps 3d party, no wifi, no account, and its same, several reboots during the day
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Use cpu spy to see what is causing the reboot. see if your processor is always on or not. most probably it is caused by thirdparty apps. Try using the phone without a sim for a day or two and see if it reboots. If the problem persists, go to the service center or the shop and avail their return policy. it could also be caused due to poor network. as of now you have to see troubleshoot. A faulty power button also causes random reboots (happened with my s3). A faulty battery can also be to blame. the reason could be any .
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
im sure there is a hw/ issue, tried no sim without wifi on, no 3rd apps, still same, it freeze all the time

phone is new, i dont think that battery may be bad, power button was a problem with s3 i hade that problem on my s3 but here is a different story :(

---------- Post added at 02:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

no luck, same without wifi , phone freeze, since i have no warranty because i bought throught ebay and the phone is bought on Tmobile Hungary and i dont know the owner of the phone, i must deal with these rebbots untill i find a solution to this problem :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
Hopefully the reboots are software related.... This phone is nice but not worth the hassle...
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
going to try today a rooting a phone and instaling a custom rom and ll post if that helps :)

ill give a try aliance rom
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
K... Let us know thanks.... Can't seem to get a recovery on my f-ing phone....
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
This may void your warranty!
[Galaxy S6 General] theronlas:
They dont have one, phone bought from another country via Ebay.
[Galaxy S6 General] Cygnuss:
I fixed the low signal by swithing from LTE to 3G hardly feel any speed difference but my signal is full, until Androidd 5.1.1 roles out its a good workaround :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] fisunik:
im wondering if i send directly to samsung, will they make a replacement , even if my samsung is on Tmobile

i dont know how policy of samsung works, do they replace like apple taking in example,
[Galaxy S6 General] vegetaleb:
So how to fix the Auto-connect BT with S6?

It won't connect to my HTC stereoclip BT receiver unless I turn it off and reboot it (the BT receiver).

I tried BT Autoconnect app and the internal option in Dashdroid app but no luck.
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
you could see,if they have an RMA tool/page - then you could send it to them directly.
[Galaxy S6 General] XxM4tzexX:
I've got several queations:

1. From time to time I have a full freeze of the ui and nothing reacts to any inputs. Then I have to wait 5 seconds and everything is fine again. No clue what is causing that.

2. In my opinion the touch sensitivity is extremely high. Sometimes I barely have to touch the screen to trigger an input.

3. Is there a way to disable the pause of the music when a message arrives. It gets quite annoying when you listen to a song and you get any message and your favourite song gets paused to play the notification sound.

4. Did you notice that the wallpaper is moving to the direction you tilt the phone. I know this from apple and didn't like it there. But Samsung didn't include a possibility to disable this.

5. Google play services drain the battery quite much.
[Galaxy S6 General] migueli2:
1. Pretty sure it's from when you make a call or receive from contact list.

My point of view it's because UI contacts/dialpad/anything related is very heavy for the few RAM avaliable so it freezes till he can clean some.

Sorry about my English.

is there a tool or that could help me identify the problem.

i dont know is it a peocessor failure or ran failure or a touchwiz failure

it must be one of these three

how to disable "Searching using GPS" thing?

Hi All,

Am getting "Searching using GPS" frequently. Am using Samsung Galaxy S6 edge G925I.

Please let me know how to get rid of that annoying notification.

Regards,

Richa
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
My phone randomly set the automatic time back to standard time and not DST this morning. Any idea why? Playing around with the time zones fixed it though.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Freezes are not normal. I didnt have any reboots or any freezes. Had an uptime of almost 21 days.. no reboots. As far as the wallpaper is concerned, I'm using a lwp from which I can set plain colors. Which is actually good. Using Hilocker for the lockscreen. Touch sensitivity is good on mine, yes it's really sensitive but thats a good thing in my opinion.
[Galaxy S6 General] XxM4tzexX:
I don't know if it is s6 or whatsapp related. Since I'm using the s6 whatsapp stopped creating daily backups at 4:00. Does anyone know why?

And how are Google play services draining your battery?

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:56 AM ----------

Did you turn on GPS besides location through WiFi/mobile data? If that's the case your phones searches for your location over GPS when an app demands for your location. Even the weather widget.
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
I wish Samsung adhered to lollipop standards and didn't make the icon flicker at least
[Galaxy S6 General] Groteski:
Is there anything to do about the poor 4G signal?

EDIT: Was always full on my N5 and this phone 1-2 bars. But i just discovered that they installed 4G+ 3 days ago and that that's the conection i have with the S6. Not the simple 4G from N5. So i guess i'll have to wait till this get sorted out
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
Have you looked under status to check the actual signal numbers? I thought this phone was getting awful reception compared to Galaxy S5 but after setting them side by side and checking settings/about device/status The dbm & asu signal strength is very similar although the Galaxy S6 gets 1-2 bars while the S5 shows full bars
[Galaxy S6 General] migueli2:
Obviously, this phone is 4G+ and the s5 only 4G.

Enviado do meu SM-G920F através de Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 General] Groteski:
I can't compare anymore i had to pinch my sim card to go nano and trowed the plastic away. Can't get it in the N5 anymore to compare anything. But i know that i had full recetion on the N5 80% of the time. Even at work wich is a real bunker.

This. I don't think it's comparable at all. But it's annoying i see the phone go on 3G sometimes wich never happened in my 1,5 year with the N5.

I really don't feel confortable when i'm not on wifi now. I'm mostly just on one bar 4G+. It's stressing me i'm not used to this and it's even more annoying that it's a 2 days old phone. I feel like i lost in the deal.
[Galaxy S6 General] migueli2:
Simple test:

Get both N5 and S6 at same time and do a Internet connection speed test, then you'll see the real status.

And once more obviously it shows less bars comparable to a inferior network band.

I still remember when 3G+ showed more bars than 4G.

Enviado do meu SM-G920F através de Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 General] Groteski:
Would have been simple if there was an option to choose 4G or 4G+ like you can choose 3G or 2G.

You're right about 4G+ being superior. Really noticable
[Galaxy S6 General] migueli2:
At least for me, I have 1 or 2 bars most of the time and never had a bad connection call or bad Internet speed.

I'm guessing when all network providers upgrade their antenas we will have better signal as well.

[Galaxy S6 General] mupet0000:
It's well known that the Galaxy S6 (G920F at least) signal is awful. I had this problem since day 1, it can barely hang onto 4G compared to my S4.
[Galaxy S6 General] jonchliu:
EVERY model is like that. There is nothing wrong with the display.

You are literally looking through to the other side of the screen:

https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/STA5HiHD43LAuc3y

Notice where the black borders line up on the edges? Or the exact zig zag shape of the top line?
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
I get exactly the same 4g signal to each 4g phone i've owned. The S6 reception is absolutely fine.

People tend to throw around statements like this but you also don't know what the signal masts are doing today compared to when you had your S4 or whether more people are using 4g now degrading the service in your area.

Even if the reception is worse, it is certainly not awful.
[Galaxy S6 General] mupet0000:
I can tell you based on using both the s4 and the s6 side by side on the same network that the s6 has worse signal easily. I can also tell you that I've found many people experiencing the same issue around the world with all variants and also I've seen display models in stores performing the same as my s6. Not based on signal bars, based on the actual dBm signal.
[Galaxy S6 General] marshall39:
More than that , for my part when I'm on 4G my phone is most of the time unreachable , people who call me go straight to my voicemail , I have to turn 3G only what the hell happens with this (otherwise superb) smartphone?:confused:

Ohh thanks for the information, that was really informative.

New Issue, Some WiFi will cause the phone to soft reboot

This doesn't happen at home, but will happen if I leave wifi on and leave the house.

My Note 3 didn't do this. but my S6 will pick up my work wifi with a name of NULL and will eventually given a few seconds softreboot.

Has anyone else experienced this? I have TWRP recovery and rooted via PingPong root, just so you're aware.

G920FXXU1AoCW baseband. Hopefully an update can fix this and my phone isn't faulty :( (KNOX tripped because of TWRP)
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
Definitely update your phone to see if that helps... I was getting reboots on old firmware. Last week updated to AOE3 and no more since...

GPS

I might have selected it but can you please guide me how to avoid it and use only GPS rather than GPS, Wifi, mobile data. So what's the difference. Which is most preferred option in terms of use and battery life. I mean to say that I want GPS enabled but don't want to select some advanced option that might be of no use to me.

Regards,

Richa
[Galaxy S6 General] XxM4tzexX:
I'd say that leaving only GPS on is more battery friendly since Google Play Services are always demanding for your location over data connection. To do this go to settings -> privacy and safety -> location. Then select "GPS only" as location method.
[Galaxy S6 General] ocp15k:
anyone have a work around for the aggressive ram management? my apps, even messengers keep reloading everytime.
[Galaxy S6 General] XxM4tzexX:
Wait for the 5.1.1 update from Samsung. Hope tis issue gets fixed.
[Galaxy S6 General] RichaJune:
Hi

I have enabled "GPS only" option but still sometimes, screen lit up and get notification as "Searching for GPS" and also on status bar top left hand side get blinking location icon.

Regards,

Richa
[Galaxy S6 General] XxM4tzexX:
Yes that is normal that you get the notification and the symbol in the notification bar. But your screen shouldnt light up by itself just because of that notification. But as I said having GPS only instead of Wifi/data connection based location is more battery efficient and this was your point !?
[Galaxy S6 General] RichaJune:
Hi,

First, mine got scratched by the clear cover. Got a screen replacement free from Samsung. However, not the background light on capacitive buttons is uneven, one is brighter than the other. Samsung does not care about it :(

No real big deal.. I have them Always off anyway. Just the fact to know it bother me :) Anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Mine is pearl white and the keys just look absurd when lit. I've switched them off and it wouldn't bother me even if they are uneven (as they are off all the time)

Bluetooth disconnects

Bluetooth disconnects all the time during a phone call, when using a car kit. During the same call, the connection is dropped and restored multiple times.

Switching off Wi-Fi fixes the issue.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Do you have a case on your phone?
[Galaxy S6 General] dermotti:
Im really curious about this. Im on my 6th now because of screen issues, but my 4th phone did the same exact thing.

It was like it everytime it detected a wifi hotspot ut would cut out my bluetooth. Only way was to turn off wifi.

I wonder if it was a setting i accidently clicked, or possibly different bluetooth/wifi hardware in the phones?

I guess first thing i would do us wipe the phone
[Galaxy S6 General] sanderg:
Spigen Neo Hybrid. The one with plastic bumper, because the metal bumper is known to have such issues.

The S6 is brand new, installed on the very same day so wiping is not an option :)
[Galaxy S6 General] SilkyJohnson:
It's absurd that you are on your 6th replacement. I've owned close to 30 Android phones in my lifetime and have had to send in ONE for a defect (Galaxy Nexus) one time.

I highly doubt your five previous devices all had defects. C'mon.
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
6 is alot of trade ins but I did return 2 of them to get one I liked... Some of us get a little OCD about new phones when we are spending alot of money on them.... But in the end I got one I like... Screen is bright... Home button is solid.... I did have an issue the other day where proximity and light sensor stopped working... I freaked out but after a reboot it started working again....

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alipashang77:
Hi, So the Android 5.1 OTA is finally available for N4, I'm rooted with custom recovery and was wondering how can I flash the OTA?

I know a way which I should unroot and install stock recovery, but other than this is there any way?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athibanvasanth:
Backup data, Wipe factory data and flash OTA update from custom recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
You can't flash an ota in a custom recovery. You can only flash it by sideloading in the stock recovery.

PO, you have to be 100 % stock, system, kernel and recovery to flash the ota. It's just as easy to flash the 5.1 factory image.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
I always just flash the factory image. As jd1639 says, it's just as easy. And you don't have to go to the trouble of returning to stock. Just make sure you don't wipe out your data, unless that's what you want to do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojkos:
so to flash ota i would neet to loose data and go to stock right?

is there factory image i could use without going to stock then? Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
If you're on 5.0.1, flash the system, boot, and recovery images with fastboot from it. Boot into recovery and sideload the ota with adb. You shouldn't lose any data. Then re-Root.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojkos:
