[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ebalcaen:
I have the same problem. I cannot access ADB in anyway, even in in Clockworkmod recovery. USB Debugging is off. I am on the original firmware that came with the device, (Pre Knox) and the device is rooted.

My lock screen is just the simple lock, with no password required, but I have an app installed that switches the USB mode to Mass Storage for the external SD only so I cannot see internal storage.

MHL does work, but the touchscreen is not working, so all I can see is the lock screen.

When in recovery, ADB Devices shows the device as unauthorized. If i go to option # 3, (which apparently is Factory Reset) the status changes to "Sideload." But I still cannot do anything.

If no one has any suggestions. I think i'm going to have to purchase one of the Samsung Smart Docks.

I can't post links or pictures until I get 10 posts, but this works;

Other than getting the dock, the only other way to do it that I know of is how I described above, switching back and forth between video and mouse, which sucks because you're flying blind. It requires a lot of patience.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaMom:
Lollipop broke my hotspot on my s5. So, I bought a note 4 with kitkat still on it. I have wifi turned off so that the update will not download.

My question is this. Does the hotspot still work for those that accepted the lollipop update? I would kinda like to use my wifi some times. Lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaMom:
Is no one using the hotspot on their note 4 without the msl work around?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotowski:
Hotspot works fine on my SM-N910P with Lollipop. Just make sure you have your MSL before applying the Lollipop OTA.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaMom:
So you ARE using the msl work around? I'm trying to make sure the hotspot works without it. Do you know if the hotpsot works without the work around on lollipop? This is for business and I need the expense for taxes. Lol
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotowski:
Yep. I'm using the workaround. I don't have first-hand experience trying it without the workaround, but the workaround uses the stock app, so I don't know why it wouldn't work for a paying customer
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaMom:
Ok. Thanks.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w7excursion:
The msl method is easy. Works on lollipop without rooting. That's on the s5 and note 3 and 4.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] julian67:
I've been using a Note I (Gt-N7000) for approaching one year, but this week I upgraded to a used Note 2 LTE (GT-N7105).

As we all know, the purchase price of the phone is not the be all and end all of our spending - we need extra batteries, cases, cables, docks, battery cahrgers, screen protectors and so on.

The really expensive part of this equation can be the batteries and mostly a proper dock with audio Line Out.

There's nothing you can do about needing a different spare battery. But if you use a 3rd party battery charger you might find, as I did, that the difference between a Note 2 battery charger dock and a Note 1 charger dock is a removable template. Remove the plastic template and your obsolete Note 1 charger has suddenly become a fully compatible Note 2 battery charger....trumpet fanfare and drumroll here please, thank you.

As for the dock - the Note 2 is slightly longer but less wide than the Note 1. Both use the same micro USB for charging and Line Out. The Note 2 will fit loosely in a Note 1 dock (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Des...TF8&qid=1429835773&sr=8-8&keywords=n7000+dock) and it will charge, go into dock mode, send audio to external speakers and so on, but will always be a bit loose fitting and (I assume) prone to having its USB port damaged by movement. But here is a fiendishly satisfying workaround: just use your Note 2 with an official Samsung Flip Premium Case Cover (see http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Fli...4959&sr=1-1&keywords=samsung+flip+case+note+2) which these days costs aprox sweet F.A. (that's Fanny Adams, not F**k All) and it now both functions perfectly and fits perfectly.

I apologise for being three years late with the news but that's how it is when you don't have much money lol.

Hello ,

when i get a call diverted from another phone , it does not show any indicator or arrow or signal like other phone models that it is a diverted call ...How can i overcome or fix that please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
Does anyone have a solution to the memory management issues on this device? With 3GB of RAM, there is no reason for apps to ever close by themselves under normal use. Yet, for example, I can load a page in Chrome, go to another app and come back 10 seconds later and the page has to reload.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
Wait patiently for 5.1 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] km8j:
Is this really a lollipop issue? Can't we make memory changes in build.prop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Hopefully Samsung is aware of this issue. I don't recall having it with the note 4 except for the XDA app which constantly redrew
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] wund3rground:
There's a bad memory leak in Lollipop that hopefully was addressed in 5.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
I did some extensive debloating and the issue still persists. At least now we know that Samsung is aware of it.

Something tells me that this is an issue inherent to Touchwiz ( I don't learn my lesson and keep buying Samsung phones every now and then).

Samsung you have until the next update to fix this, otherwise I'm done with your devices!

The S6 is perfect otherwise, but this is a major, major, and I repeat, major deal-breaking problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] philliman:
It's not a Samsung issue. It's lollipop. Other devices have had this issue before the S6 release date. I have no issues. I have everything from my Note 4 on my 64gb S6 with 38gb left. I'm using about 78% ram most of the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Mine is always between 83-87 %. My nexus 6 didn't have this redrwaw issues in any of the 5.x iterations
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
It's a straight up memory leak in lollipop, not a Sammy issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PunishedSnake:
It's a Sammy thing as a 2gb ram HTC one m7 with 5.0.2 has zero problems
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
The infamous 5.x lollipop memory leak manifests itself in different ways.

This is terrible ram management where the system takes up an excessive amount of memory thus having issues keeping ram intensive apps in memory (such as Facebook, twitter, chrome,)

It's definitely a Samsung issue

Touch wiz rather
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
It's a android problem that is noticed more on touch wiz because its such a ram beast. Vanilla android has the problem as well. It is supposedly fixed on 5.1.1.

I think Samsung with TW caused the issue to go into overdrive!

Sansung Admits Memory Leak

Samsung announced today on its UK Facebook page that they are rolling out a micro update to fix the issue according to article in Flipboard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
It is true that the issue may be compounded by Touchwiz. As far as micro updates to fix the problem IDK, it has to go through Samsung AND the carrier and that takes forever
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xxjrsmith3xx:
So i just look at my RAM manager and it says i have 2.5GB yup i guess i fall into that....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Let me make something clear: it's not about how much free ram the phone has at any given time. My nexus 5 or 6 didn't usually have more than 600 MB available , but apps didn't redraw until you multitasked through 10-12 apps.

This phone redraws apps like Facebook, twitter, browser even if you're only multitasking through 3 or 4 ( and don't even get me started on the XDA app)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
I'm sorry, but y'all are wrong. It's an android issue, not one vendor. An issue they even owned up to. I agree a skin makes it worse than stock, but don't hare point the finger at Samsung for poor coding by Google.

This is coming from an adamant google fanboy who often criticizes Sammy. I rock an S6 and N6, so I have experience with both. 5.0.2 is very bad in regards to the memory leak. 5.1 cleaned a lot of crap up, but it was still there. 5.1.1 is supposedly the holy grail, and with my short time with it today it seemed tight and snappy.

5.1.1 or even 5.1 for that matter will make this phone operate a lot better than it is now. I've run ever possible version of "L" and every version of lollipop. We're on a shi!!y build.

TL;DR don't blame Samsung for Google's memory leak.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
I really hope you're right Silky because otherwise this phone is a beautiful beast.

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

OT . How did Google let this happen when the L preview was in testing for almost 6 months on the Nexus 5 ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
That's a damn good question. Lol. The fact that this leak made it out of testing, what..... 5 times now? Worrisome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
Well Google play services has had problems since what ice cream sandwich? That is also supposedly fixed in a play services update that isn't avaliable for most phones yet. Maybe Google realized they have been letting the ball drop and trying to fix it. Who knows if samsung ditches android for tizen for the s7 I might wanna give it a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Makes sense. I figured Samsung "fixed" the 5.0.x memory leak by modifying the ram management so that apps would be shut down more agressively. It would be reasonable to assume that 5.1.1 would solve the memory leak, therefore eliminate the need for aggressive ram management. Wouldn't that alone decrease Android system battery drain?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] LNJ:
Do any of the minfree apps help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PunishedSnake:
No this is a Sammy issue...my wife's gs5 on 5.0 doesn't do it nor does HTC one m7. Something they are seemingly working on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
^^^I agree. When it's a memory leak, apps close by themselves when you're using them without any "such app has closed" notice and the device also reboots at irregular intervals.

What's happening in the S6 is that apps are getting kicked out of ram or cached too aggressively probably due to the fact that system apps are taking up way too much RAM.

With a memory leak the device is a little unstable, while the S6 is the most stable device I've owned
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
What you're describing has nothing to do with the memory leak. It's just poor memory management on Samsung. For the hell of it, try this services.jar I patched with the supposed fix for the memory leak.

https://mega.co.nz/#!HN9UXRbT!JdgJBE1PKvbyHsCEgbPwLaLWgwVuIQrRLk-CDusWjko

Either be deodexed or delete services.odex in both arm and arm64 when you paste it into system/framework.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
Giving this a shot. Will post results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
The thing is, the memory leak in lollipop has nothing to do with the S6 aggressively killing apps. The memory leak causes instability after an extended amount of uptime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
It's a bit early to tell, but I think this is actually helping.. I assume this is the color fade fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
That's what I'm trying to see. I know exactly what it is as I had it bad on my nexus 5 before 5.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
There are literally dozens of memory leaks in lollipop. This "fix" addresses the color fade issue. Which, is an awful leak. In 5.1 there is a memory leak equally as bad if not worse caused by audio buffers not being cleared. I'm not sure that one would affect us since samsung uses their own audioflinger, but if it does there's almost nothing we can do about that one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
That's crazy. Smh at all these memory leaks. Then on top of that its not being managed right either with an instance of Pandora closing while playing in the background this morning. Luckily the system music player and spotify havent done that to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
If your phone doesn't freeze up and/or get really laggy when that happens it's not the memory leak. When that happens go into app manager to the running tab and see what your ram use is. I never checked it before but after this fix I'm always right around 1gb free. And haven't experienced any issues with my phone becoming unresponsive or apps closing. And I need to do some more research, that music leak may actually be in 5.0.2 as well...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
Since I applied your fix Ive been at 1.1GB free give or take .1 GB. Lets see if it stays that way throughout the day into the night.]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
How's it working for you guys?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] bigxie:
It seemed to be running well but tonight while I was navigating and running Play Music in the background, a Facebook chathead popup caused Play Music to get kicked out of memory. Definitely the memory issue because it took like 10-15s to open the Facebook message, and then another 5-10 to minimize it and go back in to navigation. I had to just close everything besides Maps to finish navigating and then restart my phone before it was responsive again.

Isn't the color fade leak because of the stock Lollipop screen off animation? Does Samsung even suffer from that leak, since they use their own animation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I did a ton of research on this memory leak business. There was another memory leak caused by the boot animation, and because Samsung uses qmg for boot animation they were not effected. Colorfade hits all lollipop devices where this fix isn't implemented. As far as I know Sony is the only OEM that's actually fixed it.

Also, I've noticed that the only issue anyone is having now is with music playback, which tells me the memory leak Steve just fixed a few days ago in 5.1.1 is present in 5.0.2 as well. Bad news is, it's in audioflinger so there's not a whole lot we can do about it.

Out of curiosity [MENTION=3183886]bigxie[/MENTION] were you streaming or was the music downloaded to your device?

Here is the memory leak I'm referring to, I think this is what is still causing us problems.

HERE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
[MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION]

Your fix seems to be working just fine. With almost 37 hours of uptime, System has been at 1.2-1.3 GB, App anywhere from 390ish to 450MB and free Ram anywhere between 1 GB- .9GB. Interface is fluid and responsive. However I'm noticing some odd behavior over certain apps staying the background or not. With audio apps, the stock music app and Spotify play music in the background just fine with zero interruptions on my device. However, when I tried to use Pandora, after a few minutes it had close on me and interrupted music playback in the background. Even odder moving on to other apps, some seem to have zero problem staying running in the background.

For example after using Chrome and then several apps after it, Chrome then has to reload the webpage I was last on. But, one of the sports apps on my phone, MLB At Bat doesnt have this behavior. After using that app then opening the same amount of apps I used after I tried with Chrome, I'm able to go back to the app without it having to fully reload from its Startup screen, but it goes back to the same screen every time instead regardless of the previous activity I was doing in the app. Instagram does something similar for me too. No matter how many times I clear the upload screen in the app, after I press the home button and use a few other apps and go back to Instagram, it will start right back up from the upload page even though that wasn't the last thing I was doing in that app.

I wonder if anyone else notices this behavior. I know its something that Samsung has to take care of so we will in due time for a fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] bigxie:
I stream my music from All-Access, on highest quality, so maybe that accelerates the memory leak? Although I don't think I've ever encountered this on my N6 which I used in the same way.

Also, what counts as hardware accelerated effects? I use viper for effects, which should bypass the standard Android/Samsung music effects, right? Well, come to think of it, I only have it enabled for headphones and not bluetooth (which is the majority of my use, while driving).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
The N6 doesn't take nearly the resources the S6 does for normal operation. I would imagine it would take a really long drive to see the effects of this memory leak on the N6. I know it's being affected too, I'll find you a link where Nexus owners are raising hell to Google to fix it.

The Viper thing, That is a really good question. I can't see it actually bypassing any of the audioflinger stuff. I really don't know though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Samsung is pushing an update to European models. I'm gonna grab the services.jar and see if the memory leak they claim to have fixed is the same as the one I fixed. If not, hopefully there is something useful there for us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
Nice. Keep us posted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Nope. I read it wrong. ColorFade wasn't addressed...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JimmyMPR:

Agree, I am will go to T-Mobile store and return this piece of crap and go back to my Nexus 6 or to LG G4. Was my error after reading S6 Reviews. No more SamDung for me, it is crap.

---------- Post added at 03:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 AM ----------

I blame them, because they were supposed to hold the launch of the S6 until this issue is resolved, just because the sales fight with Apple.

---------- Post added at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 AM ----------

I agree 100% with you. I called Samsung USA and that was the explanation given to me. But they say T-Mobile is testing 5.1.1 and T-Mobile Devs don't know a word about this. Sales will crash hardly if this is known by future buyers. It's a beast device, but with that issue is full of crap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
All rumors point to a mid-June release for 5.1.1. How is this unknown? I think Samsung knew they were going to have to push hard to get it out quickly because they know their firmware is riddled with bugs even if they refuse to admit it. It's much easier to sell a phone when it's shiny and fast, isn't it? Working as intended. I'm still happy with the phone on 5.0.2 even with it's issues. Not once have I felt the need to throw my phone into the wall or return it. I guess I've always come from smaller batteries so I know how to moderate.

Just because you had no issues on a Nexus 6 doesn't mean other people didn't. You can't generalize to everything based off of anecdotal evidence. The G4 isn't going to have these issues, but that's because the device didn't ship with 5.0. Guaranteed the reviews would be different if it had not. I've felt the bump in UX that 5.1 brings personally so you can go back to your Nexus 6 on 5.1 and pretend that things aren't about to change around here. I would not have shelled out for the S6 and sold my 6 month old phone had I had a single doubt this phone would've kept me happy for the next 2 years I signed up for on a contract.

You can call me a fangirl if you want but I was never impressed with Samsung phones other than my GNex. I honestly think it's going to take manufacturers a while to catch up to Samsung after this year and the Snapdragon debacle
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JimmyMPR:
So what is your advice, to keep waiting for them a little while? My concern is that I called Samsung and T-Mobile and they said that they don't know about this issue. Already went to T-Mobile store before knowing this and change the devices, still the same on the new ones. Can we trust Samsung?

I been disappointed with Samsung devices in the past, I promised to never buy another Sammy, but my wife bought one S6 Edge and I get really impressed by the performance of the device. Then I fail buying one too. Is not bad, don't understand me, but that memory RAM issue doesn't let me use the device as intended. No Multitasking allowed, Lagging and Reloading of all apps if they still open.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lizaSB:
If you're still within the return period... I dunno. I'm running the OE6 build of XtreStoLite which is a couple versions ahead of the OCG version that unrooted T-Mobile. I realized today that I'm having a slightly better experience with ram management -- a lot less reloads. Part of my experience is also the color fade memory leak that has been patched.

I think it's hard to expect the development teams to stay in touch with the customer service teams. The age old adage around here is that it's taboo to ask for ETAs and I feel like this applies to the big name devs as well -- even if they are being paid for their time. HTC flat out promised an upgrade to 5.0 in 90 days which they failed to deliver.

I can't say for certain that 5.1.1 is going to be perfect and without any issues. At least it will have memory leaks patched. I am confident things will be better though -- and this is speaking from someone who had many issues with 5.0 and none with 5.1 and reverted back to 5.0.2 :silly:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JimmyMPR:
