Anyone noticed a wild wifi drain? Turned off wifi, and the battery got "stable". Also noticed wlan_rx_wake wakelock before upgrading...
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
I haven't noticed any change in the battery life since I updated to 5.1.1 (nor for better, nor for worse). Hence I haven't noticed any wifi drain.

Do you mean the unofficial fix? That is, well, unofficial, I'm expecting this update to bring an official fix.

[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
Yup, still no RAW and manual shutter.......... I started to agree M9 and G4 better in some areas now.....
[Galaxy S6 General] jelbo:
No RAW support? Aw mann, single thing I was looking forward to in this update.
[Galaxy S6 General] D4rk_nVidia:
I hope Vodafone Germany release it fast.

I didint need RAW but I hope the RAM Management is fixed and that the battery life is a bit better
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
It seems like we won't get RAW and manual shutter until Note5 out on Sep. I think they will release an update to make camera API2 works with Note5 together.
[Galaxy S6 General] NJGSII:
Have the update installed and memory management is still crap. Samsung must be doing this on purpose, but why give a device 3GB of Ram?
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Does it fix battery drain issues?

Also i just do not understand how a phone with 3 GB ram boots to free 600-750 MB memory :doh:
[Galaxy S6 General] androidizen:
Just to be sure wipe your device and setup again, android updates can be a hit and miss for performance I always wipe then see what it's done for speed.

The memory leak issue with Android L are many and varied honestly Google utterly screwed up with Android L buggiest release in a long time and they still don't seem to have a handle on the problem.
[Galaxy S6 General] androidizen:
Because if you have a lot of apps installed those background tasks will be kicked in and chew memory, Android will then remove from ram anything stale as you load new apps. Thats the theory anyway but owing to the memory leaks it tends to kill tasks too aggressively and that causes other problems.

Right now 3gig of ram is wasted as the system fails to manage it , you could have 8gig right now it would still encounter issues after a while
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
What's the big deal with raw support anyway? It still has a pathetic microscopic sensor!
[Galaxy S6 General] androidizen:
Ye it would of been a good added bonus feature. Dont get Samsung sometimes, hold it over for the Note 5 and leave a feature off the bragging list while your competitors trump their superior pro features.

Maybe most people dont care and we are just a bit sad m8?

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

Post processing control simple as that. A Jpg image is locked in stone anything we do to tweak the image and the extend it can be tweaked is very limited. With Raw we can much more finer control over the final image.

It's the difference between letting the phone decide everything for you or deciding yourself later when you work with the image in photoshop.
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
I know what raw is used for. I have multiple DSLRs. The sensor is so limited that even a point and shoot is miles better so why waste time post processing garbage?
[Galaxy S6 General] altimax98:
Can anyone else confirm a locked bootloader (default state with the possibility of unlocking it from the software side) after the update?
[Galaxy S6 General] tlxxxsracer:
Now question is how to update when you're rooted? Will root support 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] jelbo:
Because it can be done :) I like to tinker around with my phone and post processing S6 RAW's would be a cool thing for me. I did some OnePlus One .dng captures and it was pretty amazing to see what additional details I could get out of it, especially on a limited phone camera sensor.

Take a look at these M9 JPG/RAW comparisons. I think it's awesome :cowboy:
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
You can always connect to Kies or Smart Switch to update regardless of root.
[Galaxy S6 General] vbauer86:
How about missing toggles? Are they back in this update?
[Galaxy S6 General] lilmikey201:
wait wat? u can?

thought it removes root
[Galaxy S6 General] LNJ:
Yeah it will. But at least you Don have to go trough the hassle of Odin.
[Galaxy S6 General] DT84:
So, no RAW, no shutter speed, memory is still badly used, anything good?
[Galaxy S6 General] lilmikey201:
oh ok
[Galaxy S6 General] shook187:
Still waiting for feedback on battery life, call standby leak and memory issue.

I traded my S6 for the LG G4 because of these issues so I'm wondering if I should have just waited for the update.
[Galaxy S6 General] daniel06gt:
haha these updates..... what the hell for then? Might as well go to my 3 Year old Nexus 5 which is today a lot faster than my "Flagship S6":(
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
Only the build.prop ver number is changed indeed, it's good :o

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

We always heard of RAW no use on mobile bcoz the tiny sensor. However, the post-processing is just too bad on all phones. If they manage to beat the DSLR direct JPG/TIFF output quality then RAW may real have no use for phones but it still not happened yet.
[Galaxy S6 General] mettleh3d:
There aren't any new camera features at all? Is this rollout any different from the leak lol
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I think ====> no

:D
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
That's a little bit harsh to be fair. I have taken comparable images on the S6 which stack up to the Cannon 12mp DSLR I have.

To be honest, RAW on DSLR is a waste of time as the difference in quality is negligable.

Point and shoot camera's can't hold a candle to the S6 i'm afraid.
[Galaxy S6 General] kevinshrgn:
Can somebody upload a video with the new update please sammobile's one is an early build, would be nice to see the final build. Thanks ✌
[Galaxy S6 General] km8j:
I think 5.1.1 may be worth losing root for me... HMMMM... So I can just plug into Kies and update and it won't wipe the device? Kies says my device is unsupported and I should use "SmartSwitch"...?
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
Not much different with the early build though. I think Samsung realized they still need a lot of time to work on the memory issue and cam api2, so they decided to give us the early build first. I think the final build will only arrive until Aug/Sep.

Actually, I started to thinking to trip my knox and fix the problems myself.
[Galaxy S6 General] mattman83:
Ohai, can u pls tell me 24hr battery drain on this update that has been out for 5 hours. Btw im also going to post this in general s6 section not T-Mobile.

Wat.
[Galaxy S6 General] razor 116:
Unconfirmed but if it turns out to be true (And reports of the memory issue still being present on 5.1.1) I will never touch a Samsung device again and stock to Nexus devices in future. If they don't have a fix yet that's almost acceptable but withholding a fix for a new device is simply unacceptable.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
So we will get memory fixed and RAW when S6 Edge Plus comes out sometimes around July/Aug.

[Galaxy S6 General] Oliv3:
Just to let people know, I woke up this morning with my phone dead in the water. Can't power it on/off, can't hard reset. Just pitch black with a solid red led notification from charging it last night.
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
Where did you hear that the S6 Edge plus was coming out in July/Aug?
[Galaxy S6 General] vitas13:
We don't get RAW support. Why you ask?

Because we have 2 diffrent sensors in ours phones. If one of them gives betters results in RAW mode, many users would complain.

After Post-processing we can't see much diffrence. But RAW is another story.
[Galaxy S6 General] sdfsdfsfs:
what about manual shutter speed?
[Galaxy S6 General] Tron666:
fkin agree!! they should be ashamed.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
No confirmed date yet but Q3 could be anytime from July to Sep. Note5 will out on Sep is almost a sure thing so it won't be late than Note5 and safe guess is probably a bit earlier.
[Galaxy S6 General] le_lutin:
I wouldn't hold my breath for a July release. Not even sure about August.

Just a hunch.
[Galaxy S6 General] PeK_m:
So are there any notable performance improvements with this update, or is the same as before?

And now T mobile users are reporting that ram management is not fixed in 5.1.1 is just too frustrating

Iep i have the same felling. Sometimes i just need to swap from facebook app and internet to restart facebook. It restarts very quick its true but it should not happend. I don.t use chrome because it Eats ram like hell. This software is a mess.. i think that samsung is not using Art runtime 100% because Mine is still reporting dalvik v2.1 on software analise. Correct me or explain me that. Sory for my english.

[Galaxy S6 General] cdmove:
can you still root 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 General] ShadowVlican:
Judging by the comments, doesn't seem like this update bring any fixes or features.. What's the point..

They really should work on the RAM issue.. There's no reason why a 3GB device is always reloading apps.. Chrome is always reloading webpages after I use other apps
[Galaxy S6 General] Jmldsilva:
+1
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
that's why i don't use chrome at all, the stock browser is much faster on the S6....but i am with you about the update...it looks like it doesn't fix any issue...so why the hell did they release it? maybe even bigger issues will come with it....this time i am mad that i bought another samsung device...this is my 3rd one is a row....i thought they made the perfect phone this time....on the specs sheet it is the best....but in real life......NO.....
[Galaxy S6 General] SilkyJohnson:

As you can see I use different model, for example I don't have so big problems on any apps; but it is strange to see that only 30% of memory is free when it should be more ... but my only thing I am happy is that Samsung software doesn't have problems with Deezer app and now I can use it normaly and listen to all songs ... but i do always ask my self two questions: 1. How can Google in the first place make mistake so big cardinal mistakes with lollipop ; and the second one : How so that Samsung couldn't make it better... but only logical answer is: What would they do in the mean time if everything would be perfect ??

Android and changes that company's like samsung do to it are not small. There could be soo many lines that it is like search for a needle in a hay stack.

So be patient.

They all have there faults & all becoming a pain in the A~ hole
[Galaxy S6 General] nicemsp:
I'm very hesitant about upgrading to 5.1 or 5.1.1

My nexus 5 had excellent battery life on 5.0.2 and after the 5.1 and 5.1.1 updates it started draining 20-30% overnight just sitting there.

Right now my s6 on 5.0.2 has excellent battery life as well, draining only 2-3% overnight, so i'm very hesitant to update :S
[Galaxy S6 General] aydc:
Yes, Apple. *shudders* I have been an Android fanatic for so long, but all the latest Android phones are crap. If Note 5 is crap too, I'm going to switch to iPhone 6s Plus and not look back.
[Galaxy S6 General] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Apple... seriously? Remember how man bugs were present when iOS8 was first released? All manufacturers have flaws and of course you buy what fits best, but I don't think you'll be satisfied with Apple either.
[Galaxy S6 General] aydc:
After playing with friends' iPhone 6s and 6 Plusses, I can tell you that nothing from Samsung, LG or Sony offer that experience right now. This is coming from an Android fanatic. Note 5 will be the last chance for Android for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Fair enough. My mother has a 6+ and it's nothing special really. Maybe it's cause my S6 is just that good, but to each their own.
[Galaxy S6 General] oxxshadow:
So Samsung has failed again, even with 5.1.1. they couldn't fix the RAM management issue. I am not sure if I can recommend an S6 to anybody anymore. what are your thoughts?

Well only T-Mobile has the update so far. So let's wait before everyone reigns hellfire upon Samsung.

[Galaxy S6 General] Paradoxumical:
I have a theory, and I would appreciate if someone wouldn't mind helping me test for a day or two.

Don't shoot me right off the bat, just give it a shot and let me know what happens.

Uninstall/disable the "Google" app.

Yes, the handy-dandy one.

Let me know how your multi-tasking and RAM performance is afterwards, try to test it out for at least a day.

Once again, don't fly off your rockers and attack me for suggesting this.

It's just a theory.

Friend has a iPhone 6 and after using that i still fail to see what all the fuss is about, no better or worse than anything else it just people get sucked in by the apple marketing wagon.

iOS has had some huge issues in its time and its far from perfect
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
iphones do lag after a while...and old devices can't handle the new software even when they have only 6-7 devices, so they can optimize it better....the iphone style is really good....can't deny that....the biggest issue with iphone is the limitation....you can't set your own ringtone without that itunes...no widgets...it gets boring after a while...even we android users get bored after a while....so maybe the experience on the iphone is a bit better but overall it will kill you with its limitations....

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

i don't regret buying my S6 for a second...it's not perfect but i think it's the closest thing to perfect...even with ram management issues it's not that big of a deal for me...because i am not a power user....sometimes it annoys me that it reloads apps but its fine.....what i don't like about samsung is that after they release a device they almost stop supporting it after a month....
[Galaxy S6 General] salah lghyati:
What is the difference between 5.0.2 and this new version can someone tell me please
[Galaxy S6 General] oxxshadow:
While the RAM may not bother you, think about how much you paid for the phone. Probably 500+. You would expect a phone this premium can handle a few apps in the multitasking without reloading them. I mean the phone has everything going for it, except performance. I cannot justify spending this much on the S6 when phones likes the Zenphone 2 and even Alcatel Idol 3 can outperform this in a day to day use ( not benchamrks)
[Galaxy S6 General] @home:
I don't feel that the Android phones themselves are crap. I feel it's Android it's self. Lollipop is just garbage. I have a Note 4 & have gone back to KK on it.

I like Android, a lot. just wish they'd get back on track, Lollipop is like Vista...YUK

As For Apple, just no, No No No - If only the fact I cannot stand T & J.
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
its not performance....the S6 is the fastest android device in launching apps....the multitasking is bad....
[Galaxy S6 General] oxxshadow:
but a majority of the time you will not be able to make good use of that fast performance since the phone has to constantly reload apps.
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
that's right if you open many apps.....you should see how my g pad tablet with 1 gb ram and 5.0 rom redraws....it lags in the ui....redraws after exiting the facebook or chrome.....lollipop is really bad...
[Galaxy S6 General] oxxshadow:
That's understandable for a low end tablet like that. The S6 is a flagship, however it performs like a low end device. I've seen it have to reload apps with only 3 apps opened in the background, and none of these apps were intensive such as games
[Galaxy S6 General] tommybrrr:
You can use the developer options to check, which apps have a huge memory footprint. Sometimes apps are buggy as well and eat up RAM like hell, but you are right, Android memory management should be configured properly on the S6... or at least have 3 profiles, agressive, medium, low on how memory is freed...
[Galaxy S6 General] hajyihia:
since when a 1 gb ram tablet has to redraws after opening only facebook?? even my old S2 didn't have these issues....lollipop is really bad in terms of memory....and samsung is even more bad...
[Galaxy S6 General] derWolf_:
Oh come on, that's bollocks. You can't compare the S6 to any midranger (ot any low end device obviously) in terms of performance even when you consider the crappy memory management. Yes, it does reload apps quite often, and yes it is annoying, and yes it isn't only crappy ram management but also the memory leak. However it is a solid performing device nevertheless. In my everyday usage I have found it to be quicker and snappier than my old M8, which was the prime example of a phone with properly optimized software. That said, I'm not implying that the S6 doesn't lag. I have faced occasional stutters and frame drops here and there, but show me ONE phone that doesn't have those stuff and I will shut my mouth.

Not to forget that there is, yes unofficial, but a fix nevertheless for the ram management issue. With it, I have absolutely no problems when it comes to the performance of the device. Just as snappy as when I got it first out of the box. And that's definitely the first Samsung that can get such an approval from me in terms of software optimization and overall performance. No other phone of theirs can come up even close, not even the Note 4.
[Galaxy S6 General] SilkyJohnson:
Thank you.

This thread sounds like kids who didn't like their Xmas presents. Don't like the S6? Cool, sell it and buy something else. I get 3-4 phones per year by flipping them.

Just too much whining in here.
[Galaxy S6 General] NIK516:

[Galaxy S6 General] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
That's what updates tend to do. See nexus devices, or iOS devices for reference. Everybody on these tech sites always wants the latest software update, then they whine and complain when they get it because something 'broke' or some new bug pops up. I'm sorry, but you can't have it both ways. :p
