[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jukpulfer:
Hi

So I recently upgraded to the standard S6, and I've been experiencing very, very bad cellular signal reception. At places I would have good (or sometimes even great) signal with all the LTE phones I've owned throughout the last months (iPhone 5, Xperia Z1, Lumia 920), I'm getting very poor or even no signal at all. Not to mention mobile data basically not working at all.

As far as my research goes, I'm definitely not the only one experiencing issues like this. Even a friend of mine who bought the same S6 on the same carrier with the same contract has experienced similar issues. Though there seem to be a lot of "affected" phones, there isn't really much of a solution available online, so I figured one of you might be able to help.

Would really appreciate any tips and workarounds, or even some more people having issues like that with their S6's.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vuittion:
I've just purchased a Galaxy S6 and it is without doubt the worst phone for reception I have ever owned.

My 4G signal at my home on my old Galaxy S5 was always 3 to 4 bars on my S6 im lucky to get between 1 to 2 bars.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChuckWow550:
It would help if you told us where you live, what carrier you're with, what model s6 you have, is it carrier branded or international unlocked, have you talked to your carrier's customer service, etc. Without any info it just sounds like Samsung bashing.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
I get less bars than with my moto x2014 but I get 4g+ instead of 4g and 4g+ is faaaaassssst
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Mine is exactly the same signal bars as every phone i've owned but has much faster data and clearer calls.

I would say you either have a bad phone, bad network, or issues with a mobile mast in the area etc etc.

Comparing to past phones is useless because what worked yesterday might not work today. Intermittent issues anyone?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mupet0000:
Mine is currently in repair for poor signal. I doubt they will fix it, I think they designed the S6 antennas extremely poorly.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jukpulfer:
Forgot to update this thread, sorry. I recently sent it in (ofc covered by warranty), and it is far better now, but still not quite as good as on the other mentioned phones, HSDPA is still pretty slow right now and I rarely get LTE. So if you're facing simmilar problems, even though I always hat to do it, I recommend you send it in to Samsung. Also, consider asking your carrier to give you a newer SIM-card since that could be a reason to from what I've heard.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpleAppDevloper:
I am looking for someone experienced in ROM making to help with an iOS ROM I would like to make. Don't worry, I will do stuff too:

•The home screen layout

•Settings app

•Basically all default iOS apps

•Wallpapers

•Anything else you could think of

The reason I am asking is because I have no experience in ROM making, but I'm an intermediate (borderline expert) at creating Android apps.

If anyone decides to help me, I would like to ask if you could create the custom dialog boxes like iOS 8, because I can't seem to do it with a normal Android app.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
Why don't you just use an iOS launcher?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpleAppDevloper:
1. I like making my own apps

2. Why not make a ROM? :3
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
Well you're asking someone else to do the work for the base at least. I do see you are experienced in app making, which is pretty cool, but honestly compiling a base isn't that difficult, and all you need is a standard ROM base which you will be editing the systemui.apk and essentially creating a custom launcher (app) to go over, what specifically do you need a ROM maker to do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpleAppDevloper:
Create the base files for it to run, then I can make the apps to go in /system/app and whatever else needs changing
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
But why can't you just compile AOSP/CM/OMNI etc.. and use that? Like what in a "custom" ROM do you need?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpleAppDevloper:
But iOS isint part of the AOSP :P It would probably be better to do it from scratch.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orangekid:
You cannot literally incorporate iOS into Android. It is a closed source custom OS that is somewhat Unix based. You would actually have to custom re-write the entire OS from scratch if you wanted to do it the way you are describing. The only feasible way to get what you're asking is a very heavily customized launcher over a regular Android base, kind of like MIUI. You would be hard pressed to find a developer who even wanted to hand code an entirely new Android base just to get the same functionality of a custom launcher. I don't mean to discourage you but I don't think you fully appreciate the amount of work you're asking someone to do.

Anyways, was really just trying to clarify your question to see if I could help, I hope you understand what I am saying here. Good luck with your endeavor.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpleAppDevloper:
The ROM would basically be the same as all others. I don't really want to modify the build.prop or anything myself as I will probably brick my phone. The iOS launcher side of it, won't be too hard. There are iOS launchers on the play store so it is possible. Most stuff could just be normal android apps like normal android launcher.apk. The only thing I would need help on is chsnging the default dialog box shape & colour to match iOS's one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] merlin66676:
I started using VZW messages+ with my S6 and noticed when I list my contacts, inside messages, it lists all contacts from google. However the contacts app only shows my phone contacts, which is what I want.

I installed go sms and it also on shows the contacts that are currently viewable in the contacts app.

Is there a setting to turn off 'extra' contacts in VZW Messages, or some other way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Averix:
I'm guessing you might want to post that question on a different forum site. Odds are there are very very few people on this site that haven't already disabled the VZW Messages bloatware.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] merlin66676:
Will do. Any other sms apps that offer the same or similar features.

The one i like is the ability to send and receive texts from a pc, or my ipad.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rustypie:
Does anyone know if there's a difference in radios between the G2 and the G4? I had the G2 and I could do simultaneous voice and data no problem. Note that I did NOT have the advanced calling feature enabled on my Verizon account. Could talk and surf at same time all day on Verizon G2.

Now with the G4, when I make a call, the signal indicator goes to 1X and it will not let me surf the net. I added the advanced calling feature to my line on my account and it now lets me surf and talk simultaneously.

I guess my Q is, is there a hardware difference between the G2 and the G4 that lets the G2 do it simultaneously regardless of whether the Advanced calling feature was turned on or not?

Thanks.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicroMod777:
Mine works fine on T-Mobile USA both calls and LTE at same time!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sfkn2:
VoLTE doesn't work on Verizon G4s?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
Yes there is a difference, the G2 had two radios that allowed you to use data while on a call. The G4 requires you to use advanced calling (VoLTE) to do both.

All HTC M9+ owners!

We're a handful yet on XDA, but getting more and more as the device is rolling out to more locations. and people who look for an elegant, high end device with premium build quality and the extra features like fingerprint scanner and 2K display and the duo camera settle with this fantastic device. It's not the perfect for everything unfortunately, not the best gaming phone out there, but in my experience a very well performing device in terms of phone call quality, reception quality, wifi power, multimedia, battery, display panel and overall UX feel, smoothness. High end games of latest year 2015 might stutter a bit here and there or lack some important shaders to compensate, but nonetheless good for last years (2014 and before 3D gaming and all kinds of 2D games), let's gather the experience and benchmarks of this unique device which was maybe the first MTK device in alubody :)

Let's discuss performance related experience, real user feel/experience and benchmarks free of whining, facing the truth that in some respects it's not the top-notch device, but let the curious ones who consider to buy this device, know what to expect if choosing this elegant business class phone.

I'll start with some of my benchmarks result screenshots in separate posts.

UPDATE:

Here's my short game testing video on M9+

[youtube]QmLGCoI4NLw[/youtube]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmLGCoI4NLw
[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
Antutu on stock Europe base 1.61

Vellano tests base 1.61

Futuremark test base 1.61
[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
My real life experience is that in everyday chores, the phone is very snappy, with some small lags when starting new apps to the memory. Task switching is quite good.

There's unfortunately some memory leak issue with 5.0.x Android version which after a while kicks in (on most 5.0.x devices as well), but overall the UX smoothness is just quite good. Occasionally there are some apps that brings up popup windows a bit stuttery, like facebook comments animation tends to be a bit stuttery.

The Sense Home/Blink Feed experience is just perfect. At normal operations, when no big application updates are happening in the background, I never faced any lags on the Sense Home UI.

As for the games, games from and before 2014 run perfectly. New ones might get some shaders removed, or with reduced polygon counts, so don't expect a jaw dropping 3D experience. If you are ok with last years (2014 and before) 3d game quality, M9+ is quite good, but latest games will be most probably running in the dumbed down mode accordingly to the PowerVR GPU the M9+ with mtk chipset has. The phone keeps a good temperature mostly, except when charging battery and at the same time playing 3D heavy games. (But that's expected from most devices, especially with alu body)

The screen quality is quite good, i've got a perfect panel with the first unit I got, and the refresh rate is 60hz, smooth and with lovely dpi and brightness of 2K.

The benchmarks show a general good performance with operations bound to the CPU. Where the MTK chip comes shorthanded is the GPU part. All tests show 3D performance that is below 2014's flagships performance by far. The GPU PowerVR 6200 is the same that was built into iPhone5s, which let's face is a mediocre GPU for a 2K display. If you face this fact and accept that gaming won't be with the highest quality textures and shaders, probably you won't be disappointed.

I'm curious what others think...
[One (M9+) General] andrdnl:
Played with it for a few hours. First impression is that it's clearly slower then the M9. The fingerprint sensor is almost perfect, a few hit and misses. I'll be back after a few days of using it with a more adequate feedback.
[One (M9+) General] DeadPotato:
That's why I don't trust benchmarks at all: [MENTION=3088420]tbalden[/MENTION] benchmarks shows it should be on par with the M9, I got those scores on mine; but the 3D department is awful to say the least, Godfire is light years away on the M9
[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
Yeah, tho the benchmarks 3d score on antutu is more than half less, 3d is 9k on m9+ and 21k on m9, so after all it tells you something true. The CPU of the m9+ is quite good while the gpu is rather old, from the iPhone5S era when the display resolutions were much smaller. That says it all.

So everyday chores are quite snappy on the phone and gaming is mediocre on high end games.
[One (M9+) General] DeadPotato:
I see didn't notice that, I don't understand Mediatek though, why did they put such an outdated Graphics card on their 'flagship' processor?
[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
Indeed, it should have been a better one, although it's a question to explore if the SoC could or couldn't handle a higher bandwidth of system memory to gpu memory. Maybe they simply don't have a better gpu compatible or there are technical difficulties with incorporating one.

Either way the CPU itself is a promising high end one, and unfortunately we can't help with the gpu part. Maybe there will be some possibility to tweak it on kernel level. Remains to be seen, but I'm not holding breath, no wonders can be done
[One (M9+) General] DeadPotato:
Ya I agree, sad thing :( CPU wise Mediatek is doing a very good job to enter the high-end tier smartphones, but looks like they need to improve a lot GPU wise for the Mediatek Helio X20 to be actually considered a valid option for flagship devices
[One (M9+) General] yvtc75:
Second you.

X10 is MTK's first high-end tier SoC. They should equip with high-end graphics card to become well-known,not two-years ago one same with iPhone5s era. Although the most casual gaming is OK,but it is not covered with "flagship" devices.

It's excellent there were some possibility to tweak it on kernel level. But the Mediatek Helio X20 should work better,better & better on GPU part.

Not heavy gamer,the UX is pretty good for me. (Camera is another topic.)

Even I measured the CPU speed with Chess game,the result reached the top-tier.
[One (M9+) General] yvtc75:
FYI.

Mine : stock , Taiwanese base 1.08,rooted device

Sigh.... the result was maxed out for my device on Ice Storm "Extreme".
[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
Very similar result as mine was except ice storm unlimited. I think it might be related to temperature throttling, I'll test it again later.

Yeah, second run on base 1.61
[One (M9+) General] Mozart360:
Hello guys,

I live in France and i really look forward the HTC m9+ ; i thinks it is what the M9 should have been, but i don't understand HTC 2015 sh*tty choices of everything.

WHat i would like to know is about battery life ; Can you guys tell me whats about it ?

I just bought galaxy s6 edge a few days ago and it's creepy. I have no battery in the end of afternoon. I don't play games, just few photos and browsing, and messenger sometimes. And anyways i miss boomsound and metal body.

I'm so desapointed. Should never have sold my old one m8 or xperia Z3.

My only hope is turned on lenovo vibe x3 but there is no news since march ...

Thanks guys !
[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
After installing more and more software that is synchronized, like dropbox and a few other my battery life got lower a notch, from 23+ hours to 22+ and average screen on around 4 hrs. All in all, not a miracle, but that's what I usually got with my previous phone, OPO with its larger battery and lower screen resolution. A bit less though, admittedly. So it gets me through the day nicely, but I'm not gaming.

It's average I think. Compared to the amazing Sony z3 compact it's pathetic, my friend's z3c gets 3+ days and 5 hours of screen on time. And I think it's done with some great stock kernel enchanted by Sony engineers and Sony stock rom... wish other phones could do that
[One (M9+) General] xiaohan:
Not sure why, I could not choose no lock screen and lock screen without security mode under security settings. Both options are greyed out and it says it is disabled by administrator,encryption policies or other apps.

I only have prey and lockout security installed which could affect this but this was totally fine on my M7 device.

Anyone has any idea? Thank you.
[One (M9+) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
They really should've went with the 801, YES THE 801, for this phone.

On the same resolution the adreno 330 has better performance AND the price wouldn't change, really shameful on HTC for picking a MTK SoC (**** or crap).

I am very disappointed.
[One (M9+) General] yvtc75:
1.61 base,stock,rooted

lower the resolution to 1080P,just for fun.

GPU do tie down the result,right?
[One (M9+) General] JellyKitkatLoli:
Yes, and it's fairly accurate.

I got 11871 with 2K, I couldn't screenshot as it doesn't know how to (Doesn't work above 1080p without dedicated software for it).

M8 1080p.

Also now that I look at it, your cpu integer is out of proportion due to all the cores the MTK SoC has lol, too bad that has no real life use, and as you can see single core performance is much better on the 801 :/.
[One (M9+) General] yvtc75:
hmmm......

The efficiency of SW decode will be performed vividly by multi-cores in your real life.

There were much comparison between MT6795(not "T") and SD801 in this site.

About the browser speed, RAR compression ,real gaming, power consumption........

http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3825199511?see_lz=1#69839534914l
[One (M9+) General] DeadPotato:
Are those results after reducing resolution to 1080p, did I read correctly? Because if that's the case, it's sad to confirm the limits of the 3D graphic card as other stated before, if you see the above M8 (which I find surprisingly higher than I experienced on my own M8 anyway) you'll notice even the last year's M8 has a better 3D score, and not to mention the regular M9 which produces almost double of that score. Multicore wise the Helio X10 is a beast, but graphics wise, looks like it's not so much
[One (M9+) General] hoopla man:
The octa core A53s churn out tons of processing power.. definitely on par with an SD810. I don't experience lags, whatsoever. The GPU is honestly flat, only about on pat with an M8, and powering a larger QHD screen. Therefore, gaming suffers a bit. Old games(2D/3D) run fine, but newer ones aren't good, with frame drops. However, the phone multitasks like a pro. I had NFS MW paused in the background, and played Minecraft without lags. And I was also playing music. Happy with the performance overall.
[One (M9+) General] ijuanp03:
I just got my HTC One M9+ a few days ago.

Here is my initial review comparing this phone to my HTC One M8:

1. The m9+ is not a slouch BUT the framerate is not as smooth as the m8

2. Facebook app browsing tends to lag (VERY noticeable LOW framerate.) It's as if i was using and pre-kitkat highend Android phone.

3. Slow performance in Google Chrome.

In addition,

4. Rear camera is OK in daylight. Ok because of the higher res BUT i like the camera in the m8 more in AUTO MODE. The m8's camera is imo awesome. The colors are vivid, it looks sharp with nice contrast. The m9's camera is on the softer spectrum a la oil paint effect.

5. The front ultrapixel of the m9 is EXCELLENT HOWEVER, the field of view is narrower than the front 5mp cam of the m8. I normally take group photos and now we have to squeeze so everyone cam fit the frame unlike in the m8 wherein the WIDER angle lens take its advantage. Dont get me wrong, the front ultrapixel is WIDE but not as wide as the m8's or the galaxy s6's.

[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
Bottom right speaker grill is not sounding for me and others probably. While playing music I covered top speaker and bottom left, and the bottom right is silent. Strange solution for balance. Do you have it too?
[One (M9+) General] ijuanp03:
That's not a defect. We only have 2 front firing speakers - one on top and at the bottom. There is only 1 speaker at the bottom. They really should put it either on the left or the right side since there is a finger scanner at the center.
[One (M9+) General] tbalden:
Yeah, wasn't clear till I tried, how they balanced it. Of course for design sake they added a speaker grill on the bottom right too to look good. That's OK by me. It's still coming through loud enough on that left side grill. Thanks for reassurance
[One (M9+) General] ArunODroid:
I agree with you. Also the device gets heated a lot while playing moderately graphic intensive games. I've experienced camera app failure; it just doesn't start the camera and goes straight back into the home screen in Sense 7.0.. But then these are my experiences and frankly I'm not much of an expert on matters like these

Didn't notice this thread earlier, so here is my experience with an M9+ from UAE (HTC__J15 with Euro software):

I also noticed a problem or bug, even with Power saver turned off, the CPU frequency is reduced to ~1183 MHz when battery is 15% or less. Wait until battery is charged to 16% & CPU frequency returns to 2158 MHz.

With power saver on (15% battery level):

With power saver OFF (15% battery level):

With power saver OFF (16% battery level):

I cam from an M8, which was running IncertCoin's custom roms. In short, the M9+ is slightly better performance wise with some lags & battery life is a little shorter. I do remember that the M8 was even smoother before the 5.0.2 update. So maybe the culprit is 5.0.2 & hopefully it'll get better with 5.1 & beyond.
