Peel remote seems to be a major battery draining app for me, I only used this thing once when I first got the phone. Noticed this before the update as well. Pretty ridiculous I should probably disable that thing.

*edit*

Actually I never used peel on this phone, it was my first phone that had a loose home button. No reason this app should be taking any of my battery since I never opened it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
It gets loaded into memory after boot and uses battery even if you never open it, just like all other TW bloatware.

Which is why you should freeze/disable all apps & services that you don't actually use. Better yet, flash a debloated rom and you won't have to mess with that in the first place. If you prefer a non-debloated rom, then rip out unneeded apps from the rom zip before flashing it.

It only uses a bit for the first couple of days then settles down.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
If that was truly the case I would see milk and the other Samsung apps in the list as well, I don't and have never. Peel seems to be the only rouge Sammy app in my list.

Way to split a dev community. Release a newer version of android, with almost all the same bugs, remove rollback compatibility, and add custom recovery overwritting. Samsung sucks.

So. I am unable to download the odin file for 5.1.1 it gets to 1gb and fails every time, are there any legit mirrors avail?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cellsafemode:
been using it since release via OTA. I get the same if not better battery performance (well over 2 days with occasional hangouts usage and minimal browsing in chrome). Easily over a day with much heavier browsing / youtube . Though I was getting good battery usage before since disabling lte, wifi calling and and voip.

Really the only thing i've noticed from the last release is the memory thrashing for apps is down (switching apps is quicker since they're not killed outright all the time).

No downsides noticed. Though everything i dont use that I can disable is disabled prior to the upgrade and stayed that way.

Honestly i'll say this, all the dev's for the note are there, they put in good work, if you have a good phone

Oh don't get me wrong, i think the phone has a lot of potential hardware wise. But what can I say, the software from samsung always disapoint me. After their 5.1.1 update without rollback compatibility, some good dev of our small community like mikeyinid updated and they are now stucked with 5.1.1 without root and custom recovery.

I got no interest in these kind of stuff. I simply stated facts. So far there are no real devs working on this device. No reason to be mad about it, with time things might change for better. However the real devs work on the international version. Talking about devs like wanam and alikes ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
I don't think the developers who have in depth knowledge on the craft has ever focused on anything other than international and maybe Verizon. Luckily their work bleeds over to us because it's easy to for them to adapt it to our phone or because of awesome people like mikeyinid who may not be a "developer" but is definitely a cut above a power user.

First off, wanted to pass on a hearty thanks for all your work on the s6 lately mikeyinid! Your DHA tweaks have been a help for my multitasking performance, and I'm looking forward to trying your boot.img changes once I upgrade to 5.1.1. Which brings me to my question -- I'm on stock 5.0.2 rooted now, and have avoided the full upgrade because of the inability to downgrade. Can someone confirm that this does work and flashing it via ODIN ODIN 3.10 will update to 5.1.1 and still allow downgrading if necessary?

Thanks!

I can confirm it. Before I took the full update I did it myself. My zip upload was corrupt though so I had to reupload it. Still haven't had anyone confirm whether this one is good or not...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
I'm downloading it now. I'll probably give it a try tonight.

So, you're saying that I can go back to Looper if this doesn't work? Will it wipe my storage (pics, music, etc)?

Any updates on root for 511?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] LuigiBull23:
Yes, you can go back. It won't touch your data.

Updated to 5.11 via Smart Switch last week and of course lost my root

So can I install this new variant and then go back to 5.02 to get my root back or can I just install this and will be rooted on 5.11 and final question will I lose my KNOX

Thanks so much

Once you do a full update to 5.1.1 you can't go back to 5.0.2. At all. Not until we have recovery. And even then you won't be able to downgrade your firmware

please help

i had issues updating my phone from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 and now the phone is stuck on the blue screen which says " an error occurred while updating the software " ,

restarting phone brings me back to the same screen , the phone will not switch off

but it does goes to download mode

do you guys think i can odin 5.1.1 software ? please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
That's what I would do. Make sure you get the correct Odin file (I think they have to match your internal storage (32 or 64 or 128)).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] scorpio_bpl86:

i am on odin 3.10.6

is that what you were referring to
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
No, the correct tar file that is flashed via Odin.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] scorpio_bpl86:
thanks i will try that

also called samsung and they said they will reflash the software for me for free

just in case if my update fails i will send it to samsung

i tried odin the stock firmware and it failed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] shojus:
The only reason it would fail is if you don't have it connected to the computer properly. Is the phone able to be connected on a port? Have you tried using a different usb port and usb cable? Is your phone in odin mode? It should detect your phone and flash the firmware. For some reason it must not be detecting the phone if it's failing. Also, don't use a usb 3.0 port
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] scorpio_bpl86:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] scorpio_bpl86:
so i was on a rooted phone and was updating to 5.1.1 through smartswitch , while updating the usb disconnected and it got stuck and nothing would work , the phone wont switch off and even after the restart would come back to the blue screen which says " an error has occurred , please use smart switch on the PC " when i try connecting it through smart switch it said device not recognized

called in tmobile and after an hour they transferred me to samsung as they said they cant help much since it was done through smart switch , Samsung were very helpful , they said they would reflash the phone for free including expedite shipping ,

at the same time i vented out at tmobile on twitter which they noticed and decided to replace my phone for free

but fortunately i flashed the 5.1.1 and all is good now :)

thank you all for the help

really appreciate

Depends on what upgrade method you used really. Did you try clearing data? I did a factory reset for my upgrade and everything has been mainly perfect, granted I don't use either of those apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
I forgot about that - hopefully it won't be too much longer...I should have known better than to do the update - I guess I have been spoiled, root has always happened very quickly after updates like this - I wasn't expecting anything different - totally my own fault for not being more dilligent - if and when I get root again, you can bet I will be more careful...

Fingerprint sensor problem on 5.1.1

Okay, so I ODIN'd up to 5.1.1 using mikeyinid's (downgradable) tar which worked great, except for one major (for me) bug - it seemed to nuke my fingerprint sensor.

After upgrading to 5.1.1, clearing my cache, and rebooting back into regular mode I started getting the '"An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor" message. Tried restarting the phone a couple of times to no success, and was unable to erase my registered fingerprints as every time I tried to access the fingerprint settings I got that same 'an error has occurred' message. Finally gave up the ghost and did a full wipe/factory reset to see if that would fix it, but even doing that didn't seem to resolve the issue -- going through the brand new factory setup on the phone on 5.1.1 when it got to the fingerprint setup it gave me the same "An error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor" error.

So I went ahead and ODIN'd back to 5.0.2 and my fingerprint sensor is working fine again. Not sure where the problem is, whether there's some issue in trying to step up to 5.1.1 without fully flashing with the 5.1.1 BL and all, or if there might be something else at work here.

Either way, since the fingerprint sensor is one of the big draws of the phone for me, I'll probably stick with 5.0.2 for the time being unless somebody already went through this and has an "ah-ha!" solution for me that I missed.

after the update

Updated via OTA almost 10 days ago, wipe the cache after that. The battery life was good for first few days, but for the last some days, it is horrible. the major culprit seems to be "Cell Standby". A day before, i went to sleep with 40% battery, and didn't plug in. It discharged completely in the middle of the night, and hence missed wakeup alarm. is it the T-mobile network, or it is the fault with all galaxy s6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] magoo5289:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
well...we seem to be gettng closer - but we are not there yet -

there is a new TWRP - 2.8.7.0 - if you are on 5.1.1 it will flash - but when you reboot - you get a "not seandroid" warning in red. If you just click power, the phone will boot - but you can't access any recovery.

In order to get recovery back I had to ODIN the Stock 5.1.1 - there may be an easier way to get stock recovery back but I don't have a tar of the stock recovery so I can't do it. I may be wrong, but it looks like in addition to TWRP we are going to need a new custom kernel we can flash in ODIN - others here who are smarter than me might have a better idea - so close - yet so far...
