I like it as well, but a minute ago it will not turn on untill I pressed on power button and then he made soft reset again. It doesn't look good.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimas16:
HI, It is happening to me too. I have same phone. Had it for about a week and last 2 days it rebooted itself 3 times. Any news about it?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrootman:
I installed "Restart counter" app which showed me that I am missing a lot of restarts. 3-5 a day. Today it restarted in the middle of music playback.

I hardly beleive that this is software issue that can be resolved with an update.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aford89:
I also bought the 920i from the ebay seller and just started having random reboots, i've had the phone for a week and it just started doing this yesterday (didnt install any new apps) Is there someway to get a log and actually see whats causing a reboot?

I did notice it seemed to have started after i got the samsung push service update
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimas16:
Mine was bought in my country from a seller here. Just wanted to add that detail.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrootman:
Is yours 920I as well?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimas16:
yes
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iShihx79:
I am getting ready to pack my S6 and send it back to the eBayer seller but then I saw there is a system update that suppose to help with system stability. Anyone installed the update and still having reboot issue?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecksreturns:
Which update ??

Edit - a 230mb update just showed up. Will update once download is complete.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrootman:
I do not know yet if update resolves reboot issue, but it have huge battery consumption problem. After an update my battery consumption is unacceptable. Each 30 seconds of browsing in eats 1% of the battery charge.

Is your wifi on and scanning for networks when rebooting. Mine has the habit of rebooting when connected to public hotspots like FON. Check this topic for a more extensive explanation: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/nearby-wifi-portal-causes-constant-t3086743

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirSupply:
Any update yet, guys? I am receiving my 920i tomorrow (in US, using ATT network), and I am really nervous after reading this thread ...... Seriously, I am really afraid that mine will have the same issue.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
I have a g920i from ebay and I have noticed random soft reboots 1-2 times a day. But given how common this apparently is based on this thread, I don't think it's hardware issue. I had random reboots on my Nexus 6 as well. Did the OTA update a few hours ago, no reboots yet.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david23c:
I was also plagued by random reboots 3-5 times a day using G920I, but I got an OTA to AOD3 today and so far there hasn't been a single random reboot. I'll need to use it a bit longer to make any conclusions though.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrootman:
My rebooted 20 hours aftet OTA. It looks like an improvement. New issue that I got with OTA is battery drain.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aford89:
I havent noticed any reboots since taking the update but it might have last night i've since installed a reboot counter to watch it
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funk2641:
Using a G920I on ATT and with the updates, no reboots
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aford89:
Since taking the update i havent had a single reboot according to the auto reboot counter app
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AirSupply:
What is your LTE speed with the G920i on ATT network? I already got mine and the speed test gave me 28Mps download.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrootman:
Yes, looks like it resolved the issue. Very good.

Hi all,

To all the Aussies here who have and/or going to be purchasing the S6. Seeing what everyone's experience is with the phone as well as sharing ideas to each and every one. I myself have been experimenting with Android phones since Galaxy S3, moving onto phones such Xperia, Nexus & more.

[Galaxy S6 General] tookie015:
Can I just check what is the Australian model? Is it the 920I or 920F?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] nihonjin:
920i
[Galaxy S6 General] Thijsvr:
Hopefully I can join this thread in about a year or so ;)

A few Euro users (including myself) have also reported some reception issues.
[Galaxy S6 General] ThatChinskiGuy:
G'day fellow Aussie.

I got the Telstra 32gb S6 in black sapphire. Loving it. I will admit though, coming from the M7, I wasn't overly thrilled by it but it's growing on me.

Has anyone tried flashing TWRP yet?
[Galaxy S6 General] timrichardson:
I've had the S6 from Telstra since April 13. I don't notice any network problems. Telstra certified this phone with the blue tick so its testing must have found no reception problems. Battery life is a noticeable step back fro the S5.
[Galaxy S6 General] Peanuts.:
Haven't roots or flashed TWRP yet. Although I'm contemplating on flashing a custom rom if I do. Just a matter of waiting for more development and choosing the right one. I really like the finger print scanner so hopefully that can stay.
[Galaxy S6 General] ValouSydney:
G'day mates!

Root works fine but TWRP doesn' work.

Also I got the deep sleep issue now and formatting the cache didn't fix it...
[Galaxy S6 General] Peanuts.:
How you guys finding the battery life? So far I am able to get. Close to a full day day with about 4 hrs screen on time.
[Galaxy S6 General] ThatChinskiGuy:
Yeah I'm not overly impressed by the battery life but with the quick charger it's really a non issue. I can usually get around 10 hours or so of battery life, with around 5 hours of screen on time.

[Galaxy S6 General] maidangisme:
:( S6 and S6 Edge have very weak signal with Optus 4G. I have not tried with different provider. Hopefully It's not hardware defected.

-My S5 always has full reception and S6 1~2 bars.
[Galaxy S6 General] Peanuts.:
That's what I've experienced too. Probably needs an update from perhaps to update the radio.

In saying that though I've gotten a sim replacement and noticed it improve.
[Galaxy S6 General] NIK516:
I got my black 64 edge from **** smith outright , got it 10am on the 10th so very happy. No telstra branding and my updates should come faster as it's not branded . My old telsra htc m8 still does not have lollipop .

Anyways I love this phone and my signal is great on telstra 4gx network and my WiFi strength is better also now .
[Galaxy S6 General] cheetah2k:
No signal issues here on Vodafone. Same bars as was on my Sony Z3. Great phone, but 5.0.2 is a little buggy. Really need 5.1
[Galaxy S6 General] venki5star:
I don't have any problem with mine. S6 on Optus 4G
[Galaxy S6 General] wrp10:
Only getting 2 bars on Telstra 4G in areas where I would normally get 4 with my old S3 (3G). Still seem to get pretty decent speeds on 4G though: http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1261307969

Apart from the signal issues pretty happy with the S6 so far. Love the fingerprint scanner.
[Galaxy S6 General] s3ct0r:
Has anyone got TWRP to work?

I've tried installing it via Odin, ADB, and Flashify but all results in freezing at the boot logo when trying to enter recovery
[Galaxy S6 General] tryfound:
4G works differently to 3G. You could have 1 bar and still hit over 50Mbps. The signal bars are not actually relevant as long as you're on 4G, you're good unless you live in an area where you switch between 3G and 4G often, this could affect battery as your device switches networks often.
[Galaxy S6 General] zakarados:
Got my Black S6 64gb from Telstra yesterday. Pretty damn nice! Upgraded from Nexus 5, best thing I like is the audio quality via earphones, brings my Shure 425 to life!

Good to know, cheers.
[Galaxy S6 General] bews:
So I see Optus is testing 5.1.1 with a release sometime before the end of the month
[Galaxy S6 General] greg2126:
Did you ever find an answer to this question?

I too would like to know this, unfortunately I cannot find any information on this.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah I saw that earlier myself, so hopefully that means unbranded isn't too far away
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
If I flash with Odin will it factory reset the phone?
[Galaxy S6 General] zakarados:
I installed Indian INU 5.1.1 onto my Telstra s6, no need to factory reset.
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
Awesome..Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] erasat:
I don't know what you may have done differently or what Rom you used but if you downloaded the Full Indian Rom and flashed it using Odin, it will factory reset your phone as it will also change CSC (region). Again, if I'm wrong,please let me know.

Flashing a Full Rom from other region will change your CSC and that by itself will factory reset your phone, I just did my SM-G920i (original Australia Firmware, XSA) to India (INU) and it factory reset, also, yesterday I flashed a UK rom into my co-worker's SM-G925f with other region, and it also did the factory reset.
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
Ok thanks. I'll make sure I backup important stuff first.
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
This is interesting. There are some reports on this thread (see just above and 7 July) that suggest their data was preserved when flashing to the Indian ROM but others are saying as this also resulted in a change to the CSC, causing a factory reset to automatically occur and presumably deleted the user's data.

While clearly it is best to assume the upgrade to 5.1.1 in this way will result in lost data and thus to back it up first, can anyone explain the different reports?
[Galaxy S6 General] Obagleyfreer:
Everyone avoids the question for some reason!

But, yes is the simple answer :)

You can flash any ROM you like that is intended for the 920F.

The 920i is identical except for modem.

So don't flash a 920F bootloader or Modem and you'll be fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] greg2126:
Do you know how I would go about that with stock roms from Sammobile?

Do I need to extract and remove some objects from the .tar.md5 files?

Also the bigger question is, would only flashing particular parts of the images trip Knox?
[Galaxy S6 General] sw25:
Interesting because I just flashed my XSA to INU and it didn't reset all settings remained as they were.
[Galaxy S6 General] erasat:
OK, so does your device is now changed to INU CSC? If you install Phone Info app or any other app that shows you the CSC or going to Recovery mode, does it shows INU, XSA or multiple codes XSA/INU?
[Galaxy S6 General] sw25:
Original CSC: XSA

Active CSC: XSA / INU
[Galaxy S6 General] erasat:
That's what I thought, if you had the Reactivation lock code activated then just turn it off and go to Recovery mode, if it changes then we know that's what's causing it, if you didn't have the Reactivation lock on, then sorry but the only way to get rid of the multiple CSC codes is by wiping cache partition and data in recovery mode.

Maybe having multiple CSC codes is not an issue and it doesn't prevent future OTA updates, but in addition to my OCD that doesn't leave me pass those things, I didn't want to have future issues.
[Galaxy S6 General] sw25:
Haven't noticed any issues so I'll just leave it as is. Probably will stop OTA but that doesn't matter because I'll be flashing the latest via odin anyway and XSA always get it late.
[Galaxy S6 General] Simmo3D:
If you use a ROM from a different region its recommended to reset factory settings once the phone is updated otherwise the CSC won't update.
[Galaxy S6 General] Obagleyfreer:
I thought the next time you boot into stock recovery it applies the CSC?
[Galaxy S6 General] sw25:
What is CSC anyway?
[Galaxy S6 General] j-maro:
Country specific codes that contain software packages specific to that particular region, carrier branding and APN settings

I'm going to flash the Indian 5.1.1 G920IDVU2COF8 which I assume is the one in question? How's everyone's experience with it, smoother, better battery life?
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Just thought I'd let people know that the CF-Auto root package for G920i has a broken .tar file but the file for G920f works fine. I rooted today with it with no drama whatsoever.
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Anyone else writing for XSA 5.1.1 before going custom or is the modem/bootloader posted in the xstrolite thread ok? It's just a bit offputting as it says flashing may fail lol and if so flash a full stock ROM. I don't want the Indian as I want to keep the correct CSC
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Did you trip Knox? Most of the comments on the Cf-auto root thread suggests the method does.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah I did but I had already tripped it before that as well. I just got beyond caring and besides Harvey Norman still have to honour their side of the bargain even if Samsung don't!

[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
All good. The XSA 5.1.1 unbranded should be available soon. I'm like you, and so many others... sick to death of being ignored whilst remaining as one of the highest per-capita mobile device using countries in the world.
[Galaxy S6 General] dlotters:
Samsung just pulled their pending Aus Vodafone 5.11 update a few days ago - this is despite Voda completing testing and being ready for the rollout. My guess is that Samsung found issues with it. Doesn't seem an unreasonable assumption since only one CSC for the 925I variants have had the update to 5.11 .

Looking forward to finally getting it rolled out to the XSA phones!
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
There are Sri Lanka CSC unbranded and Nepal CSC unbranded stock 5.1.1 ROMs available...
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Yeah read a few bugs e.g. something re: VPN credentials.

I don't mind waiting a bit longer if they fix a few more bugs. Though apparently it already fixes the one in 5.0.2 that 'bugs' me the most - how smart unlock doesn't work if you have exchange policies (makes sense sort of, but apparently 'fixed).

I guess I'll wait and see re: performance before I give up my knox/warranty, but people say the official 5.1.1 does not fix the RAM issue which is really irritating and worth rooting for (in addition to extra battery savings above and beyond just disabling stuff). Its a bit disappointing since I never had to do anything with my Note 4 - was perfect out of them box (until the goddamned lollipop battery drain bug hit, it was perfect on KK).

Also a bit nervous truth be told, haven't used ODIN / flashed a sammy phone since the galaxy tab 7.7 days!
[Galaxy S6 General] dlotters:
They're the same CSC... G925IODD2COF8
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
It's the same ROM, but the CSC is definitely different...
[Galaxy S6 General] dlotters:
If they're different - what are they then?

I was under the impression the CSC was ODD for all of those locations. So same CSC, same ROM and different Product Code (according to sammobile).

Edit:

In any event, the original point stands - there has only been one 5.1.1 rom released for the 925I; same deal for the 920 but it has been released to 2 CSCs - ODD and UUB (Trinidad and Tobago).
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
The CSC is the same for those locations.

TTT ROM however is the only one that has a different CSC as mentioned by dlotters.

After installing the INU and BNG roms (that have same CSC), tried to install the TTT rom but it fails towards the end. Is this possibly because it is of a different CSC? If that's the case, when the XSA 5.1.1 for AU Unbranded is released, would we have the same issue if we already installed a rom of a different CSC?
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
not sure what that all means. You installed Indian over Aussie for example so you've already changed CSC. Why/how would it fail if you changed CSC again, I thought CSC was set by the ROM hence it changes with the ROM?
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Don't know why it failed, it just did. I've also tried to download the firmware again and tried to flash again, but still failed at the same spot.

One thing to note, is that CSC does NOT change until you've done a factory reset after a successful flash.
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
OK so I managed to get it working.

After the initial failed flash, I extracted the recovery.img file from the firmware and renamed it recovery.img.tar (a file that Odin can recognise) - Reason for this is because you can't get it to go into Recovery mode with the Power+Home+Vol up keys.

I then flashed the recovery.img.tar file in Odin (select as AP) and then booted into recovery. From there I did a factory reset/data wipe and then the phone set the CSC to TTT (no longer INU).

[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
Another update just came out together with Vodafone and optus original 5.1.1 being pulled looking likely we'll get the combined update later?
[Galaxy S6 General] skinza:
Has any one used the unknown country 5.1.1

Will it work on my phone?
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
It's BNG (Bangladesh). If you have a 920i then yes

Sent from my SM-G920I
[Galaxy S6 General] Obagleyfreer:
So we can install the India (or other) 5.1.1 ROM and it won't change CSC until a factory reset on that ROM? If we do that and immediately flash a custom recovery and ROM then we keep original CSC?
[Galaxy S6 General] skinza:
Anyone have any updates about aus 5.1.1 release?
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Both Voda and Optus have their updates on hold due to a critical issue found in the update from Samsung - awaiting for them to provide a fix.
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Any news on Telstra? Also, if you have your own phone but use Telstra's service, does mean the OTA update will be based on their updates version of 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
No it's based on your build. If you have umbranded you'll be following Samsung Australia

Touch key light problem

I've bought an old galaxy s6 white from someone, background light of the touch keys doesn't light up only "back and multitasking" symbols, it also lights up area around these symbols, I can see it very clearly in the dark. This thing doesn't happen on my brother's S6 gold. So my question is: Is it normal on S6 white or my S6 has been replaced other glass?

Thank you!!
[Galaxy S6 General] theronlas:
It could be the white coating on the back of the glass is translucent, my black one definitely only lights up the actual symbol though.
[Galaxy S6 General] bews:
yeah .. mine lights up around the symbol a bit (like the symbol has a glow or something) .. I just assumed it was because its white
[Galaxy S6 General] cheetah2k:
Hmmmmm still no 5.1..1 on XSA :( this wait is painful while the 920F guys are laughing
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Funny how a lot of the custom 5.1.1 ROMs can run on both the F and the I, although a stock unbranded XSA would be nice...
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah it's the reason I buy unbranded n still no luck? out of curiosity I had a look in the Optus forum and they reckon they only just got the firmware 3 weeks ago although it got released 5 months ago! They are full of s#it (most likely) as most 3rd world countries have had it for months. Aussie Telco's ought to be ashamed of themselves!
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
If Samsung hasn't release xsa then what are the carriers supposed to do. This is on Sammy
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
I guess we'll never know coz neither would tell the truth and I wouldn't believe them anyway lol
[Galaxy S6 General] wintermute000:
sigh... yes we do know, where's your XSA release then? What's that got to do with any carrier???
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
True. I guess I had blinkers on coz of the drama I've had with carriers in the past. I'm rooted so I guess I'll have to go the rom route instead of stock. I was kinda hoping by now Xposed would be working for S6 but no such luck ?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
100% correct! Surely it can't be that difficult to add the CSC information into the stock ROM, tweak and upgrade the best-performing baseband libraries for this country then release a totally unbranded stock XSA 5.1.1 ROM? The relative simplicity of implementing these changes is what's making so many of us blame the carriers for holding back development. In all honesty, I believe Samsung should make the ROM then say, "Hey Telstra, Optus and Vodafone! If you don't like it, or you can't get your crappy bloatware to work on it, too bad!"

Here's something for ya's though. You can fluke your device to stay on XSA CSC if you root it. On the stock rooted XSA 5.0.2 ROM, run Titanium and back up just your CSC. Flash in the stock unbranded 5.1.1 from any CSC, root it then restore your backed-up CSC with Titanium. Essentially, both 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 think the same things re: the CSC folder, so it's backed up and restored in exactly the same way between the two Android versions. Sadly, if you're already on the 5.1.1 bootloader then you can't go back. One last thing, if you don't want to root your device, then don't complain about what it won't let you do...
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Thx for this info [MENTION=1263460]djshotty[/MENTION]? I've been rooted for a while using CF-Auto but the 920F not i. I think this is the route I'll take. If it wasn't for the Fingerprint scanner I'd probly go with Cyanogen but I like the simplicity of unlocking with print
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
If you're looking for a custom 5.1.1 for your 920F that's got fingerprint support, with Thanks to edgarf28 check out XtreStoLite ROM. I'm running it right now on my 920i, and it's smik...

[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
I'm on Telstra through Boost Mobile, so I can't tell you how it goes for 4G reception. I will say, though, I'm getting great down&up speeds on Next-G, 99.9% of the time the signal strength meter is showing full bars of H+ and call quality is always top shelf...
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
battery life?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
I've only had the XtreStoLite ROM running for the past week, but yeh its all good. I charge it overnight, and when I'm in the car it's on a charger while it sits in a cradle, so its never really down lower than 25% for long...
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Ok I'll give it a bash, thx for ur help ?
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
I'd be interested in how you find it. I was waiting for Samsung Pay but it sounds too fast away to put off rooting!
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
I'll definitely let you know. I'm gonna do it tonite. I originally did Ping Pong but it felt like the phone wasn't rooted properly so I went with CF-Auto. I'm learning Java after doing C# for almost a year so it's been a learning experience to say the least ?
