i think it's the laggiest lollipop release so far (at least for me). apps freeze or force close, battery drainage is insane (lost 50% overnight), scrolling is laggy as never before, when you use secure lock (fingerprint or password etc) together with the option to hide notifications then when you revert to normal lock (swipe) the notifications on lockscreen stay hidden and you have to enable them back manually in "sound and notifications" settings which was done automatically on previous lollipop firmwares. i did clean install

This will sound dumb as although I'm in now way new to Android it's my first Sammy device...been searching and can't anything actually explaining the CSC codes properly (or any that are recent)

My Dad had an old UK SIM-free, unbranded SGS3 which was BTU but my new UK SIM-free, unbranded SGS6 is XEU. What's the difference (if any)?

EDIT: Think this sums it up, correct?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61339160&postcount=5

So, assuming the above post does clear it up, is XEU or BTU the preferred CSC for a UK user? As in getting the updates first? Or shouldn't it matter?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmoeed:
Hi ...

Has anyone rooted 5.1.1 XEF ... ????
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
The main perk of unbranded firmware is the lack of bloatware. I was informed earlier, probably in this thread I think, that for some reason, they often tend to be among the last releases.

American T-Mobile S6's got 5.1.1 first for example :-/
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
But what I'm getting at is would the BTU (Samsung supplied) unbranded phone theoretically get the update before the XEU (non-Samsung supplied) unbranded S6?

I always prefer to get unbranded handsets, but HTC only did one EU build regardless of supplier so I'm wondering if it's worth switching the the BTU build or not...I suppose it doesn't really matter, other than my OCD ;)

One last Q, does flashing a new FW using Odin change the CSC?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
No idea about the first part, to be honest. We'll have to see.

As the CSC is a part of the firmware, it will change it. So if you flash BTU firmware, you'll get BTU OTA's.

You can use Smart Switch to return to the very same version (CSC) you purchased it will though if at any point you wanted to go back easily.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
So flashing the BTU FW will change the CSC to BTU, and vice versa with the XEU FW? Cool, gonna give it a go
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garner:
Eddy I think I remember you from the nexus threads that i have lingered in for years due to all of the nexus devices I have had, I got my galaxy s6 from EE in the uk and the first thing I did was flash XEU and received a ota a week after. As for which will BTU or XEU get ota's first, I found that they both get them at about the same time though I noticed that the edge model got android 5.1.1 XEU recently and have not seen BTU yet.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I've flashed the BTU FW, all seems fine just setting the phone up again. However, in recovery it found multi-CSC and set BTU but Kies3 (when trying to checking FW) sees it as XEU as it checks the S/N. I take it I can leave it and OTA updates will work as expected?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSOP:
Kies will see what it was originally from the serial, not what's actually installed on the device
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:

Can't say 100% but I think only root breaks OTA
