It is, but meh, not sure what I'll do. I do like the camera on this thing, and want to take some shots in raw.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Cusa:
AT&T hates its customers that's why they don't want to release the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
I'm curious if AT&T will eventually release the same build that is out on the other carriers or if they found some issues and sent it back to Samsung for further updates. If it's a newer build with a few fixes from the 5.1.1 r5 aosp branch that's not so bad as more bug fixes are always welcome. If it's the same build then it's just another time that AT&T has dropped the ball with updates. Funny is I switched from Verizon to AT&T figuring I'd finally start to see some updates in a timely manner and it's like nothing has changed......the endless wait for updates still exists.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Black_V!per:
Just downloaded a 146.36mb update from ATT. I'll update this post with information once it finishes updating.

Still shows Android 5.0.2, Kernel 3.10.61-4823236

Disappointing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jlongrc:
My body is ready
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Seems really small for 5.1.1. Might be bug fixes? I believe other carrier S6 model 5.1.1 updates were around 5XXMB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Black_V!per:
Yea, minor update. I updated the previous post with version/kernel.

Wonder if there are any release notes somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] meraz9000:
5.1.1 will release within 2 weeks. Just received the 5.1.1 factory binary which means the "regular" binary is almost ready.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
do you know if this minor update screws up root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] arf8:
It is a safe bet they just patched the socket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] crea78:
I was right, end of July for 5.1.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Update Might have something to do with HD voice or audio quality of phone calls. Phone sounds a lot different now via phone calls.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tibere86:
"Different" in a good way or bad way? Audio quality improved or degraded?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Made a few calls after the update. Calls definitely sound louder and clearer. To me at least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Sounds much better to me. I didn't see HD voice in my area on the att map, but its better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Update- the ear piece sound much better for calls, but a lot of people I talk to say I sound a lot worse. Wanted to see if anyone else has similar feedback?

I turned off "enhanced 4gLTE" for HD voice and everyone says I sound much better. I don't live in an HD voice area according to the coverage map, so I don't know if that matters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dligon:
WTF

http://www.droid-life.com/2015/07/14/att-htc-one-m9-update-to-android-5-1-approved/

Well I'm pretty sure both of these phones came out around the same time way to go At&t update a phone thousands of people have or hundreds of thousands?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jlongrc:
Samsung is generally slower than HTC on updates and AT&T is super slow on updates. It isn't surprising that the AT&T M9 will get 5.1 sooner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Samsung had 5.1.1 ready weeks ago. We're just waiting on slow-as-molases AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Considering Sprint released 5.1.1 then 2 weeks later released a small maintenance update with various enhancements and bug fixes it makes me wonder if AT&T decided to just wait and release the updated 5.1.1....though I can't understand why they'd release the small update to 5.0.2 in the meanwhile as it only patched the root exploit and fixed find my mobile. Hopefully we see the update sooner than later and that it works great when we do get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] _Dennis_:
Answer was right there "as it only patched the root exploit" anything to prevent root, not that I blame them. Root means insecurity, means some people will break their phones (either through their actions or through a 'hack').
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
While I'd generally agree, 5.1.1 has been done for several weeks and I don't expect it to take much longer before we see the OTA. Why patch the root exploit now as it's been around for months already? Why not just patch it with 5.1.1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] oldblue910:
Any chance you could let me know the firmware version for the build you have? Since the current one is OF3, I'd imagine it's later than that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] allindaze:
I actually have a conspiracy theory as to why it's taking AT&T a while to update their software. I have a feeling they want to wait and see if someone exploits 5.0.2 in hopes of including the patch in their next software release knowing the current version has memory management flaws and that everyone will almost be forced to upgrade to have it fixed.

It reminds me of Apple and their cat and mouse game of people jailbreaking iOS and Apple having to strategically release fixes with their major updates to persuade people to have to choose with staying with an inferior and flawed version of the OS or go with the new patched release with more fixes and better stability.

Does that make sense to everyone? I feel like AT&T has an incentive to keep their phones locked and not willing to be so quick to release software fixes unless they use the opportunity to patch any exploits that may be released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] arf8:
There is very little if any benefit from 5.11, if you value root you won't do it. Memory management on 5.11 is even more aggressive and you can make the changes yourself. Plus Att does not have these issues unlike Tmobile users. The only upgrade worth doing is M when it comes out but again at a cost.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] allindaze:
Unfortunately I installed the latest update hoping it would at least alleviate the memory hog the system is right now (up to 1.3gb on a restart) I'm regretting it because I wanted to stay on the oldest available just in case a root exploits appears for the version before the patch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
It would be nice to know when the update will be released, while the memory management issues aren't resolved it would be nice to get the memory leaks fixed as well as the other various improvements that 5.1.1 brings. It's not as "big" a release as a lot of other Android releases have been, however 5.0.2 isn't exactly a solid release and I'm anxious to move to the more stable 5.1.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] arf8:
5.02 is stable, what memory leaks are experiencing on the att model? I have no memory leaks, my startup ram is 1.6GB FREE, memory management is fine and I have not made the build.prop tweaks to tweak it b/c there is no need. Not worth the upgrade to lose root if you ask me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Basically after the phone has been running for a few days it starts to get slower and slower. A reboot fixes the problem right away but after about 7-8 days uptime there is literally a several second delay when launching some apps, opening messages, etc... it's well documented that there are many memory leaks in 5.0.2 and while some are fixed in 5.1.1 not all are. I know that M (5.2) has over a dozen memory leak fixes in it from the comments in AOSP but that's not here or there. Now a simple fix is literally to reboot the phone every 4-5 days before the problem appears but I'd rather just not have to do that to keep my phone usable.

Edit: Oh and I had applied the OF3 update earlier so root is already not an option at this point. I use my phone for work and the apps have root detection so yes while there are ways around that, having to constantly wipe, restore, possibly ODIN my device is far from ideal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] elbos2k:
Are you rooted? Non rooted phones have 2+GB of ram being used all the time....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I have the app reloading issue, but my phone never slows down. I haven't even rebooted it for the last couple of weeks. If you're getting slowdowns like that, you need to look into what's running on your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] elbos2k:
Heres a screenshot....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
I honestly have very few apps on my phone, mostly google apps, work apps, etc...It could be a problem with one of my work apps but honestly removing them isn't an option. My current plan is to see how 5.1.1 is after it is released and if it fixes my issue great, if not I'll do a cache wipe first but if that doesn't fix the problem I'll do a factory reset and re-request the licenses at work for the apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] arf8:
I never have to reboot, but I also use the built in task manager to kill all apps from time to time. My friends who have the same phone never have to reboot and they don't kill all apps nor are they rooted. Not sure what to tell you but Tmobile phones are known to have memory issues, I wouldn't go as far as to say ATT does not have this issue but it is not as bad.

On non rooted phone out the box from ATT you get on average 1.1-1.3GB of free ram. I'm rooted and I'm actually working on getting closer to 2GB of free ram on startup after a few more mods and tweaks.

---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Exactly, you have other issues than the phone, what ever you have running in the background is draining system resources b/c I can assure you a factory att s6/e phone does not exhibit these problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Only 600MB remaining for me. Phone is still smooth as silk. Android is designed to use RAM. You only force stop apps I'd absolutely necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
If I could guess it's probably Good for Enterprise causing the issue but again I can't even clear the app's data as i'd need to re-request a new license. It makes troubleshooting so much more challenging..... I currently disabled pretty much all of the AT&T/Samsung bloat that I can safely disabled. Right now I'm at about 5 days uptime with about 201MB free which is fine and it hasn't started to slow down....yet but in another day or two it probably will start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] arf8:
You can't blame the phone for poorly written apps that have memory leaks or issues. Android apps running in RAM is the way it is designed unlike windows. But if you have an app causing issues you have a choice of dealing with it or removing it. Contact the developer in hopes of a patch. If you want to know what you can safely remove you can go even further, look at the links below. Good luck

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Sorry for taking the thread off topic, the dev's for Good are very poor at replying to issues except for only critical things like the app flat out crashing after a new OS update. My hope is that 5.1.1 with the various fixes to ART and other bug fixes will simply make the app run better if indeed it is the app causing the problem. So to try and get back on topic I'm hopeful the update will be released in the near future. After the update I will clear the cache and if necessary factory reset to see if my problem is finally resolved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] arf8:
That is wishful thinking, 5.1.1 will not address every single App issues out there, it is well documented what the patch does, do a search and you will see. Again not worth the upgrade at the expense of root but each his own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] elbos2k:
But most of these tweaks you need to be rooted. Not a lot of users are rooted. Either way, my phone is still performing great under all these issues. I get 6 hours of SoT...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] arf8:
True, but even if you are not rooted you should not be having some of the issues described above. Most problems tend to stem from poorly written apps. Stock att phone after boot still has over 1GB of free ram.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
So now that a new version of 5.1.1 is going out to T-Mobile and France SGS6 devices with further battery improvements and bug fixes I'm curious if this is the build AT&T will eventually roll out or if we'll get an older build...... Is there any news on when it might finally hit our devices?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
The Update will be released Tomorrow. *

*Please note- results may vary. Hit "F5" every day until you get the result you would like.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] FluxionFluff:
I've been trying to find out when AT&T will be releasing the 5.1.1 update, but.. I have a feeling at this rate, the Note 5 will be released. XP I know T-Mobile and Sprint already got the update, so I wonder why AT&T and Verizon are soo slackin' here....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dontedesco:
Waiting

I get the feeling that the Stagefright OTA patch will push back the date for 5.1.1 even further. AT&T is going to be dead last, aren't we...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Plan on it. Then you can either be right, or pleasantly surprised if we beat someone else! ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyNotesTx:
i just looked on Att&t site , they started rolling out 5.1 for our phones on august 5... should be at least a week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] oldblue910:
No, they didn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I'd like to see proof of that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyNotesTx:
nevermind// My mistake ..its the Stagefright patch..... i took it yesterday...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] oldblue910:
The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have not received a Stagefright patch. The last update was on July 9, the update is LRX22G.G920AUCU2AOF3. That's the latest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] meek420:
It's interesting to me that when I was a T-mobile customer for the Galaxy thru GalaxyS3, they had the slowest updates, now I'm with AT&T for Galaxy S4 thru S6 and the OS update cycle is now worse than T-Mobile. Ole Magenta received 5.1 quickly for the S6. Is this the product of dedicated engineers at T-Mobile? Is this T-Mobile greasing the wheels at Samsung and getting first crack at the US version?

I find it frustrating that "The Nation's Number Two Carrier" software update/release date is deplorable. We as customers are exposed to a bug with huge ramifications, yet Sprint has already released their update for the S6.

I needed to get that off of my chest; apologies if this isn't the correct place for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
While I agree with you that the update cycle is painfully slow, the carriers are really under no obligation (whether or not they "promise") to provide updates. As "more interested than the average bear" users here, we are considerably more conscious of the lack of updates than the vast majority of mobile device users. Because 99.5% of a carriers users don't know what they don't have so they don't complain, the carrier also doesn't really care.

Want timely updates? Get a nexus. Or excepting that, an unlocked device. Planning on/hoping for/complaining about lack of updates on a locked device is really pointless. Never expect them, then you can be pleasantly surprised when they show up. Just make sure you're rooted first, and never ever ever take that update you want OTA.

On that note, come on AT&T, get with the program and get us 5.1.1 already...

[emoji1] [emoji1]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Agree. Majority of people with these phones probably don't know or care about updates. Going root and flashing a light ROM is the way to go. If the Nexus 6 wasn't so big I think a lot more people would have jumped on that phone. If they make a similar size to the s6 I will be getting one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Well I just saw Verizon announced 5.1.1 for the S6 and S6 Edge, looks like AT&T is now in last place......wonderful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] oldblue910:
EDIT: Nevermind. You're right. They upgraded to 5.1.1 in addition to stagefright. My bad. I'll shut up now.

Sorry to let the truth get in the way of a good story, but no, they didn't. They released a Stagefright patch that Samsung put right over the top of 5.0.2. Just like AT&T did this week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
I still have yet to root my S6 and flash a custom ROM. After disabling a lot of the bloat, for me it runs pretty well. I have wireless chargers at work so battery life is not really an issue for me. A new Nexus would probably best option for the majority of us on here that like to mess with these phones, but even the stock S6 is still a great device. I don't think 5.1.1 is going to be life changing once we finally get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] IronManMark20:
I would be okay with just getting Marshmallow instead. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] crea78:
It's been 4 months and we haven't even received 5.1.1 yet, so I guess Marshmallow will be at least spring time before it shows up on AT&T. By that time, some people will be looking to upgrade to a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Personally I'm fine without the initial build of 5.1.1 which was released to t-mobile and others as I read it was fairly buggy and had some battery life issues, however since then there has been 1 or 2 updates (i can't remember) which seem to have fixed those bugs and made the build much better. At this point even Verizon gave the update the green light so it makes me wonder why AT&T decided not to approve it yet and how long they are going to make us wait? I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait till September and we get an update with Samsung Pay baked in. I really regret buying a carrier phone at this point because even though I know that 5.1.1 is mostly bug fixes and a few performance improvements it really shouldn't take 4 months+ for an update like this. This will be my last carrier locked phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I'm not really worried about 5.1.1. 5.0.2 has been kind to me so I'm in no rush for another update. I hope At&t skips it in favor of 6.0 since Samsung has already released their plans for Marshmallow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] crea78:
I agree with dpw. I switched from a Nexus 5 (which I still have) to the S6 and this will be my last carrier branded phone due to their VERY SLOW updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cc999:
Same here........ Nexus 7 here I come or even maybe Moto Pure edition...........

Was looking at the Note 5 but no way Jose......

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mj0528:
IPhone looks good after this crap! Probably moto x pure though. Hopefully someone will want to buy it after all the bad publicity. I guess if it's cheap enough, someone will.

I really hope samsuck is paying attention to their failed handsets
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Samsung has nothing to do with at&t releasing the updates in a timely manor. They released the 5.1.1 update a while back. If you should be mad at anyone, it would be At&t. Every other major, and some minor carriers have already released the update.

Regardless, nexus for the best results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mj0528:
Samsung made the time bomb that was great in the beginning but the fuse burnt until it blew up into laggy hell
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] crea78:
My mom's Note 4 Edge on AT&t is still on 5.0.1. Talk about lack of updates.

I can see the new Moto G 2015 getting 6.0 Marshmallow before we will :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] metalcated:
My buddy on Verizon got his 5.1.1 update and said its a HUGE performance improvement. Idk even on stock 5.1.1 I didn't have great results over a period of time. At initial boot it was great but then over a few hours... Phone slowed to a crawl. (This is on my M8, which when on stock or GPE works great). I hope for better if/when we get 5.1.1., but at this point I just as soon wait for 6.0... But man thatll be like when the S7 comes out lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DigitalUnderground:
+1 I'm trying to figure out how to justify getting the next LG nexus 5 after I just dropped 700 on my S6, esp when my s6 is pretty flawless as it is

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ricecake2000:
Anyone else notice their ois freaking out? If I don't touch the camera for a while and launch it. I can hear it and see it moving around like crazy.

Would be nice if this was a known bug that could be addressed in a 5.1.1 release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] crea78:
Yes mine does the same thing. This problem has been reported several times and its a little annoying but not a big concern for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] futuregerald:
Yup I have this same issue but the camera otherwise works so I haven't complained. It is a bit worrying simply because it wasn't happening when I first got the phone which makes me think it's not supposed to be doing it. I hope this is something that can be fixed in software. I also wonder why it suddenly started, it didn't happen when I last updated the OS/firmware. Like you I hope it's fixed in the 5.1.1 update but then at this rate I wonder if the update is ever going to happen. I have to say that I love the camera and the screen on this phone but the battery and performance issues are really bothering me. If these issues aren't resolved by the end of the year I doubt that my next phone will be a Samsung, or at least it won't be an AT&T branded Samsung. Oh well I should have known what I was getting myself in to buying an AT&T branded Samsung phone but I decided to give them another chance any way =\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jweimn:
Sprint now has done 2 OTA not counting the 5.1.1 update since 5.1.1 was pushed out, bow they have gotten the update to add samsung oay and ATT has done nothing. And people thought Verizon was bad at updating
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] anneoneamouse:
So switch to a different carrier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] eqbirvin:
That isn't a possibility for everyone. Some of us are still on family plans and at&t had good deals that gave great prices. Some are required to have at&t for work and cant afford another carrier on top of that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] anneoneamouse:
The lack of updates from AT&T was a given before buying the phone. The purchaser accepted that prior to buying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ScottyNuttz:
I bet we get it with the Samsung Pay update.
