Check Play Store to see if there's been any updates to the app.

If not, go into the Application Manager, clear its data and cache, disable it, restart your phone, restart the app. then check again for Play Store updates.

If all that doesn't work, then I'm out of advice unless you're rooted and can completely wipe + reinstall the app.
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
It's a stock system app, not one you can get from the market (either Google or Samsung app store)
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Yes, but most times those stock system apps will get updated through Google Play...
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
No, there's no update for it available. It's not on the play store.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Here, try this. Take a photo of whatever you like, but make sure its in portrait mode. Open your stock Gallery, open up the image, up the top right of screen tap on MORE, tap on Set as wallpaper, choose from the bottom row any one of the three choices, then once the image loads click on the bottom where it says Set As Wallpaper. That should (hopefully) get you sorted, but it's just a thought...
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
No, that doesn't work.

I don't think you follow what I am trying to achieve.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Without knowing what firmware version you're running, and what device model you're having issues with, TBH it's a little bit difficult to "follow what (you're) trying to achieve" in detail...
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
Doesn't matter - basically has anyone got the travel wallpaper working on their phone? I'd like to hear from anyone who has.

For the record it's a G920I with XSA DOJ firmware. But it's an issue with all S6 that the travel wallpaper is not present as a selectable option, afaik.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Have you considered jumping to Marshmallow?
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
No because I use Westpac tap and pay, so I wish to stay on XSA.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
It's my understanding that ANZ Mobile Pay works on non-rooted Marshmallow 6.0.1, so I can't see why the Westpac version of the same process wouldn't work on your phone. You can always flash it in and see what happens, then report your findings here to help others who may use the same (or similar) apps...
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
I have discussed this earlier. Westpac utilises the secure element component of the phone which stores the card information on the phone itself. The keys are only provided to the Australian Samsung devices/firmwares. ANZ and Comm bank use HCE which stores card information in the cloud and therefore will work on any device with NFC.

There is talk that using the mm ROM without resetting to defaults will keep the XSA CSC but this will not help. There's further discussion on this on Whirlpool.
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
Hey Thanks Scotty for your help and found out that its not software related my problem but hardware for my issues with WiFi,Bluetooth & GPS stuff.

Your Helper post are useful thou.

Still waiting for 6.0.1 updates for us Kiwi's ... we all should get it eventually when.

cheers
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Yes, Knox, which has of course been upgraded with the latest release of Android OS.

It locks your secure information into the Knox folder of the device, which acts independently of the CSC folder and the *.xml files it contains.

Well, all I've suggested is that you jump up to MM to see if that sorts out your issues with wallpaper. If your beloved Westpac Tap & Pay doesn't work on the INU MM 6.0.1 that my Helper Post teaches you how to install, it's not going to be a long wait until the XSA MM 6.0.1 is available. Then, if your wallpaper/keyguardupdater issue is solved its not as though you can't pull your plastic card out of your wallet to pay for things in the meantime.

When I put MM on my S6, I followed the instructions in my Helper Post to the letter, yet my XSA Lollipop CSC was wiped post-flash. As I've said before, I don't use those Tap & Pay apps myself, but if I did I'd be more inclined to jump to a whole new firmware experience that fixes the many other problems I have, than sit there sulking and worrying that my favourite app. (that I only really use as a gimmick) won't work for a few weeks...

That's why I was advising you not to root it. At least now you can take it to be repaired under warranty and it won't cost you anything...
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
Optus says MM for S6 Edge is expected before end of April - no word on regular S6:

[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
new SM-G920i firmware available but no AU or NZ yet

Build date: Tue, 05 Apr 2016
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Just proves that all three NSP's in our fair country don't care about their customers once they've purchased a phone. Regardless of what they say, they are of course directly responsible for the delays, as they each have had a full G9xxIDVU3Exxx TouchWiz stock ROM for S6, S6 Edge (and also the first TW for S6 Edge+) since mid-February 2016.

Build history is as follows:

G920IDVU3EPCA,

G920IDVS3EPC1,

G920IDVU3EPC6,

G920IDVU3EPC7,

G920IDVU3EPC8,

G920IDVU3EPD2

Yes, but the stock Touchwiz ROM was given to the NSP's in Trinidad+Tobago, Uruguay, Argentina, Columbia, Bolivia and Panama around this time last month, well after Telstra NZ, Vodafone NZ, Vodafone AU, Telstra AU and Optus AU got their hands on it. Australia will always be last cab off the rank, because

(a) our government regulators have placed so many restrictions on our providers here in Australia, and

(b) they're all a lazy pack of bludgers...
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
yeah Vodafone, Spark and 2 Degrees all says yeah nah "we have nothing yet as we testing still" ... yeah like forever
[Galaxy S6 General] ganklah:
Can someone enlighten me as to the actual benefits of xsa? (besides contention on banking - commbank works fine incl tap /pay on my custom mm)
[Galaxy S6 General] sw25:
What about stock unbranded XSA who releases that? If NSP's are delaying their versions shouldn't XSA be out earlier then?
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
That's about it, for me anyway.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
It's got to do with the specific network service provider settings inside the CSC folder's *.xml files, and how the modem.bin libraries are optimised for best connectivity and call quality on Australian networks.

Once all the NSP's for a region or country return their provider-specific ROMs for Samsung to verify and distribute, Samsung then grab the files from the CSC folders of each of those NSP ROMs, compile the data in those 'customer.xml' files into one that covers all providers, recode them 'XSA' then re-cook the same stock ROM they sent to the NSP's. XSA is unbranded without any NSP-specific bloatware, TEL has Turdstra's boot logo and bloatware apps like 24/7, OPS (Craptus) have their boot logo and similar 'customer usage' bloatware, as do VAU (Vodafail).
[Galaxy S6 General] ganklah:
[MENTION=1263460]djshotty[/MENTION] I understand what you're saying, however I'm sceptical that aussie nsps actually do this. Time for me to do a little research I think...
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
The only times I've ever had major improvements in call quality and data transfer speeds is when I've had the TEL (Turdstra) modem.bin from their stock ROM in a direct working partnership with a customer.xml file, edited by me, that came in that ROM. I've been with Telstra since they released LTE, and have always had the best performance with a combination of

rooted XSA stock ROM,

modem.bin file from the same Android version TEL stock ROM,

my own alterations to the customer.xml and build.prop files.

I've never had better results than using that same method to upgrade firmwares ever since buying a i9000 six years ago this June, so I'm not about to change anything about that methodology now.

As I've said, I only go by the fact that every single time I line my S6 up against my mates using the same phone on the same NSP, I kick the snot out of them for performance and in Ookla Speedtest races...
[Galaxy S6 General] ganklah:
Just for clarity - your friends using standard stock on telstra?

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

Also - I wonder if this is more pronounced with telstra.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Both Samsung Galaxy S6 devices on Telstra post-paid 4G, standing within 1m of each other. Why do I feel as though I have to justify everything I say where you're concerned?
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
I noticed that when I am in camera and click on the gallery in the bottom corner to view my photos, Camera force closes. This in itself isn't a big problem, but the fact that the screen brightness stays on max is rather inconvenient. Does anyone else experience this phenomenon?

I am reflashing stock DOJ TEL firmware to see if something went wrong somewhere.
[Galaxy S6 General] ganklah:
Howd you go?
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
Still no good.

Have you got the same problem?
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
Two more 6.0.1 updates for the G920I, for Brazil and Chile.

xstrostelite mm using the 920I bootloader and modem posted in the ROM thread, doesn't happen to me

Anyone having issues with NAB app on MM? Wondering whether its an issue with MM in general or specifically rooted/custom.

On whingepool, seen others having issues but on Nexus 6P custom MM
[Galaxy S6 General] dwarfer66:
I am running CarHDRom, and just tried the app, normal login works, but nab pay tells me I don't have official rom on phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Thanks oh well

Question: does anyone know whether once XSA is released, I can just flash the BL / modem only in odin to re-base? the actual ROM/system is xstrestolite 3.2 MM. I used whatever 920I BL/modem they provided in the thread (with arter's TWRP of course).

Is there any actual point? Also, at some stage my CSC already got changed (TEN i.e. Norway... go figure), can get 73/25Mb/s down Telstra 4G (as of the test I did 30 seconds ago) so who cares.
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
NAB wouldn't work for me on INU 6.0.1 rooted. Reflashed 5.1.1 XSA non root and it works perfectly. I also prefer 5.1.1 call me crazy. Haha
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Interesting. XSA 5.1.1 fine, Xstestolite 6.0.1 bad, INU 6.0.1 rooted bad, CarlHDRom 6.0.1 fine.

No real pattern (I'm assuming CarlHD is rooted as well) and there was a guy on whirlpool on stock Nexus 6P MM rooted that said it was broken in the same way as well.
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
Tried hiding root and that didn't work either. Nab weren't helpful either. Their response to everyone on Playstore was uninstall/reinstall clear your device cache.
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
eff it I reckon. the webpage works fine for what I want to do (check balance, move money into the cash account, bpay).
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
Webpage was always in desktop view no matter what I did. Pain trying to press those tiny buttons.
[Galaxy S6 General] fOmey:
Whats the NAB app doing ? Crashing ?
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Yes crashing and re website mobile view works fine for me on chrome
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
question ... running latest 6.0.1 INS but ear piece sound is buggered. it works fine with Whatsapp but on dailer its scratching with no voice. why , ideas ??
[Galaxy S6 General] fOmey:
Do you know how to capture logcats ? If you post a log I could sus it out for you..
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
nah that's fine mate banking app so best wait for vendor

Telstra update page is now showing that the S6 Edge is in testing for MM.

https://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Device-Updates/Software-Updates-22-04-2016/td-p/564168

Presumably that means we will see XSA soon.
[Galaxy S6 General] t2pham:
Thanks for information. Deployment date is May 13 which is 3 more weeks to wait
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
Could be the INS radio/modem firmware doesn't play nice with Australian mobile networks?
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
nope down graded from 6.0.1 INS back to 5.1.1 TNZ on this logic board and still the same. looks like its hardware related on this specific board, can't use other (on which it works perfect) as its blacklisted hence the new board was purchased second hand. aargh !!!
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
This is why I always advise people to do a full backup before flashing a new firmware.

Throw INU G920IDVU3EPD4 on it and see what happens. If it isn't as great as what you'd hoped, then revert to what did work. Me myself and I have long believed if I'd flashed in either a stock or custom ROM that worked the way I wanted it to, then I stuck with it until the next Android version. I'd then make a full nandroid of the old OS, just in case I jumped and didn't like what I landed in. Check the changelog of any upgraded ROM before flashing it in, because unless there's marked differences that make things better in comparison to a ROM that's working just fine, you have to ask, "Why jump?"

As for XSA, and whenever Turdstra, Craptus and Vodafail pull their fingers out to send Samsung Australia their bloatware-filled ROMs for distribution, I'm expecting

nothing less than Marshmallow version DVU3PD4,

awesome call quality,

awesome internet connectivity,

a ridiculously smooth and fast UI, and

fantastic battery life.

If they don't come out with the above within the next fortnight, then I'm sure I speak for many Galaxy owners in this country when I declare that this just may be my last Samsung device. I'm at a point where I refuse to tolerate further delays to things the rest of the world has received in good time; delays due to the ignorance and incompetence of Samsung Australia + Telstra + VodafoneAU + OptusAU. They've all had MM for long enough, and if (after waiting as long as we have for our very own 'Australia' ROM) it's not absolutely brilliant, they can shove their phones, their tablets, their TV's and every other product they sell right up their backsides for good!
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
Thanks Scotty, this board was brought due to to fact that old one had wifi ect issues, so tried to get new board to make a new phone for some reason 6.0.1 was the only firmware to get it to boot. Tried 5.1.1 but no luck. Everything else works fine apart from the dailer/phone call incoming voice audio, even thou whatsapp voice audio works which makes it weird. Not because jump to a newer firmware version is out.

I successfully downgraded to 5.1.1 (from 6.0.1), tried earpiece from a working 5.1.1 & 6.0.1 logic board (voice on dailer & wifi calling) but still no luck, so trying to find out why it not working over a phone call compared to a wifi call.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
If it's only call audio quality you're having issues with, mess around with the APN settings a bit to find the best-performing one. There's also been a number of issues since Day One (from what I hear on the grapevine) reported to Telstra specifically with all 920I/925I phones for HD voice over LTE and LTE-A, so if you're on Telstra and your phone is having dramas switching back to HSDPA bands when you make a call, you may have to revert to a TEL stock 5.1.1 ROM that worked. I'm not sure if Craptus or Vodafail are having those same problems, but I have heard with my own ears the rubbish call quality of a S6 Edge running INU MM on Craptus, so the issue may just be the hardware inside the device itself and not so much to do with the operating system's settings or the NSP's hardware at the exchange. I distinctly remember when the S6 first came out, people complained that the LTE chip wasn't the greatest, so there's that I suppose.

Rooting has nothing to do with the performance of the device beyond the changes root access allows a user to make to system files, so if you root your phone but don't alter things like the kernel and other system files, you should be fine. It's exactly like buying a car that's got a lock on the bonnet. Sure, you can buy a key for that lock (root your phone), but if you don't change the oil or spark plugs or any other major component under there...

Has your phone got baseband? If you do a *#06# and there's no IMEI (or what looks like a 'fake' one), or you go into Settings->About device->Software info and its got 'unknown' under the 'Baseband version' heading, then you may have inadvertently fried your board's built in EFS. Trust me, it's a tough job to fix those kinds of dramas, and you'll always have difficulty connecting to any NSP if you've got them...
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
Thanks mate i tried the settings for APN and still no luck. Baseband is there and IMEI no.

I'll once again see what Samsung advise why it is not working on Cellular but is fine on Wifi calling.

Its like a distortion / scratching noise only from this logic board as i'm using another board now and its clear as.

oh ... and Spark (Telecom NZ) has updated their "User Manual for S6" to new "Marshmallow" so just still waiting for firmware to show up
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
If you're on Telstra NZ, you're best off taking your phone to one of their retail outlets and demanding answers directly. Over-the-phone and 'online chat' rarely delivers credible results for the customer, but standing there in person and jumping up and down often does...
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
thanks mate

also just had message on TNZ firmware 5.1.1 to update to MM6, but after clicking yes it says i'm updated with most recent. mmh... it coming 6.0.1 for Kiwis
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
Haha. What a tease!
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
For those on MM... Is it *REALLY* worth the upgrade?

Has battery life improved significantly?
[Galaxy S6 General] dwarfer66:
Don't know about an improved battery life ( I am running CarHDRom 21.3), but My S6 edge seems to be running smoother, and when I go back to the "home screen" the damn thing does not screen refresh ALL THE TIME.
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
What do you mean by screen refresh?
[Galaxy S6 General] dwarfer66:
The screen icons disappear and and re-appear. It always happened when I was on LP, has not happened once now I am on MM.
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
Hm, I've never experienced this on LP..
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Battery life isn't an issue if you close the apps after you've used them by press-hold left softkey and Close All. Then, your device will hibernate properly without all those apps sitting in RAM waiting for you to use them again...
[Galaxy S6 General] tangcla:
Android Wear has a pretty big toll on battery life.

I'm a heavy user of my phone and a day is a struggle on the S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
theoretical question, once the fabled XSA release is, er, released, is there ANY value in flashing the XSA bootloader/modem?

I'm currently using the BL/modem supplied in the Xtrestolite thread (on Xtrestolite MM obviously)

BL G920IDVU3EPC7

MODEM G920IDVU3EPC3

[Galaxy S6 General] zakarados:
Pretty happy running the INU firmware. Had three OTA's since installing Android 6.0.1.

Last few updates seem to have fixed 4g connectivity from my house, was not getting any 4g from home on first release of 6.0.1, now getting 4g all the time.

Don't think I will be moving back to an AUS firmware anytime soon.
[Galaxy S6 General] JohnnyGT:
we getting somewhere ......... AUS & NZ Note 5 just got 6.0.1

and i'm happy with INU firmware
[Galaxy S6 General] zakarados:
XSA and Optus 6.0.1 firmware out for s6 edge+, I just updated my wife's phone with a Singapore firmware on the weekend.

Looks like the s6+ is getting Aus updates fairly fast compared to our s6.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
Curious about this myself, anyone have any compelling reasons to switch back?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
The only differences between XSA 6.0.1 MM and all other ROMs having the same build number are:

(a) changes to files within the system/CSC folder,

(b) changes to the csc.txt file in the system folder, and

(c) (supposed) tweaks to the modem.bin file for optimised connectivity to Vodafail, Turdstra and Craptus.

It is my understanding that the kernel and bootloader are exactly the same as the Samsung vanilla, seeming though Samsung AU haven't (to the best of my knowledge) changed them for the XSA ROM in past major updates, and the kernels in non-XSA/TEL ROMs I've had on my i9000, i9100, i9305, i9505 and now the S6 have never caused me any grief with wi-fi or Bluetooth.

Here's how I myself will update once the XSA and TEL ROMs become available:

factory reset what I'm on now,

throw the TEL stock in without any Google/Samsung account details,

root it with CF-Auto-Root (to keep the stock kernel),

pull out the CSC folder to my PC desktop,

make a few alterations to the customer.xml file,

flash in the XSA stock including all my Google details,

flash in the TEL stock modem.bin

root it with CF-Auto-Root,

wipe out the CSC files,

paste in the CSC files I'd edited earlier,

run my System App Uninstaller to de-bloat,

run Titanium to restore my apps and games, and

live happily until the next major change to vanilla Marshmallow.

Simple, really...

I'm sure you know this, but you come across as very condascending in your posts.
[Galaxy S6 General] silashack:
cond e scending

And I do not agree, information as it should be, not sugar coated for fools.

I am waiting for the XSA release before I rebuild to MM, and posts like these provide me with quality information, I do not have to trawl through pages of posts from people too lazy to search or read, who just want instant responses because they have made a mistake by not learning, I have always found the posts from Shotty to be relevant and useful, and consider him to be helpful and polite. And unless he edited his post, I can not see the reason for your comment.
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
The information provided is very basic though, just written in a way to make it look like he knows more than the rest of the people reading this. There is northing particularly helpful with these posts. Like he says at the botom of the post...Simple really.

He just labours the point to make it look like he is doing something complex.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
That's only because it's quite obvious the majority of those people viewing this thread haven't exactly got a great deal of technical expertise. Deal with people like that every day, as I do with my computer repair and internet sales business, and you'll soon learn that not everyone's as clever as you.

Again, not everyone is as clever as you, and people come here seeking advice that is easy to understand, straight to the point, factual and actually works. Thing is though, I feel quite saddened when people shout me down for providing a mix of information I gather from respected sources, and expertise gained from working with Samsung Galaxy phones every day for the past six years, in an easy-to-understand way.

It is indeed quite complex for someone with limited or no technical knowhow to make the changes many of us Forum Regulars do so easily. I'm sure you were as much 'in the dark' as I was when the i9000 first came out! I'm also sure as Strongbow tasting like apples you appreciated someone else explaining to you the necessary steps for flashing your phone, how to get root access, how to configure custom ROMs, etc. etc. in a way you understood, so don't patronise me for doing the very same thing.
