I don't have any brightness bug on this stock fw but when i flashed Beta 10 started brightness bug.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
Switch to U3DPDP+ firmware.

I can't flash kernel g925fi-13.1-twrp on other S6 Edge G925F XXU3DPDP.

Here are the logs from Odin:

EDIT: I managed to flash it after using cf-auto-root, twrp, and than flashing it from recovery.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Aria.A97:
[MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] Anyway that I could limit max GPU freq? Only one build allowing me to do this is enough.

I was able to find out exactly how much should I undervolt for every single frequency of A53 cluster by limiting max freq, undervolting, running Benchmarks to see if it passes or freezes/crashes.

Soon I'm going to undervolt A57 using same method but GPU is always running at default max freq, so I can't find out exact minimum voltage for each GPU freq :(
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erghetto:
[MENTION=5566313]Aria.A97[/MENTION]

How do you verify running gpu frequency?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
I'm 99% sure that the backlight/brightness blinking bug is due to new change in DPDP sources :

http://pastebin.com/Vjw7tm9c

I personally haven't been annoyed by this new change.

So let's vote.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erghetto:
i don't think is right calling it "this new change". It's a bug, nothing less nothing more.

if you stay at home you don't notice it, but for people who moves all day for work and need to use phone under sun or in the car (where there is however much light), it's very very annoying and problematic.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] giodeluigi:
+1.

Definitely an annoying bug.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Diaze:
+2
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] xdamami:
Right. And when Arter taked sources from dpdp for his kernel started this bug.

I never use auto brightness, never noticed any flickering on your latest beta.

Your Kernel gets more impressive from update to update.

I don't play games except for testing, I make barely any phone calls. I had a couple of dead locks on previous versions of your kernel, but I really don't care. It's a small sacrifice for a kernel, which makes my phone feel like a new one.

Have a great day?

[MENTION=7203633]ElementRn[/MENTION] dude your getting a little bit annoying! Reposting something every now and then is spamming. It really doesn't matter whether if you're posting benchmarks, battery results or "thanks this is awesome", which your do all of these three.

It's like you're blogging here on development thread.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] ElementRn:
Got it. I am a blogger. Dont want to annoy anybody. I just wanted to show my appreciation, but I'll stop posting on this thread. Thanks for your time writing this.

super fine by me. don't bother me at all.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Nezorflame:
Too bad. It's a really annoying bug. One second your screen is readable, and the other it is not because brightness suddenly flickered. Reading, gaming, watching videos is frustrating now, being under the sun.

I wish this could become some sort of a switch which could be turned off for those who hate this "feature".

Nevertheless, thank you for your hard work for making our S6 community happy. It is always appreciated, even if the decision is not very popular with some people like me. Let the new stable version be the people's favorite one.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] 3f1f37:
User appreciation = Thanks Button :good:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erghetto:
It's only a bug, not a "feature". We have to hope that soon comes out a new firmware with this thing fixed.

The problem is that now that comes beautiful sunny days with summer, we need auto-brightness functional. Manual is not sufficient. With auto, we gain more brighteness under sunlight, a level that can't be reached with manual mode.

I'd like to know who stupid people works for samsung.

This thing makes me think that they do not test firmware before realising them.

Unbelievable..
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] hnorgaar:
It seems that the program Lux Lite will fix that, try it out
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] DroneDoom:
I had this problem since I first upgraded to MM (EPD1) so who knows when samsung will ever care to fix it.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erghetto:
Thank you for suggestion, but it is a bit outdated and reading reviews on playstore, it creates some problems on marshmallow.

Moreover, it doesn't let you install any apk.

It doesn't worth for me.

However thanks ^^
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] genuine55:
I've been using yet another auto brightness since day one very very good saves a lot of battery the way it scales the brightness
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Medel-Silver:
For people with brigthness problem, try velis autobrigthness, its a great apk for this and very configurable, and if you manually config the graphic and change 255 value to 254 problem is solved.

Regards.

Pd. Select one of the amoled profiles, depend if you want more or less brigthness, medium sensivity is the best for me, it works like a charm.

No battery drain, no deadlocks, no brightness problem.

Im using beta 10 since I noticed that on Beta 11 the battery drains faster.. is it just me?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] BRiANj64:
I have the same problem, this seems to be a problem with Samsung, auto-brightness flickers heavily and makes the phone unusuable, although it seems to happen less frequently using arter kernel.

I think this is a problem with the DPD build, i don't remember this happening on the original MM release.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] VIVAS700:
Here is my battery life with beta 10 so far, mainly been on wifi and 4g. :p

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Lucoso46:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] asi1903ruh:
Battery life with Xtrestolite 3.1.1 and Arter Beta 11
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] erghetto:
Just to share it with you.

I have restored stock kernel on xtrestolite 3.3.1 just to test temperature while playing games.

On arter my phone becomes a barbecue xD playing assassin's creed identity, instead with stock kernel temperature are good. I mean, i feel it gets warmer, but not much and absolutely much less than this kernel.

Obviously i'm not posting this to say one kernel is better than another. About daily usage this is more fluid, and also in games it performs a bit better, but expecially now that temperature are growing up with summer coming, it's a bit annoying having a so much hot phone while playing.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Jahspi:
Of which kernel are you talking about during the second part of your message ? Arter or stock ?

I have also seen that stock kernel is a bit cooler.

About more fluid arter
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Aria.A97:
89 hours of uptime and not a single deadlock happened with Beta 11. I had deadlocks in all alphas and betas.

Can you also test fps and battery consumption?

I suggest you to use GameBench for doing that.

And by the way, you can start playing with voltages to reduce heat.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Zinux:
Mm..
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] OMizz rana:
Losing root after flashing a kernel is not a big deal. No need to cry about it again and again.

Just flash supersu zip after flashing the kernel zip.

Do it all at once don't you won't lose root.

This has been discussed multiple times before.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Zinux:
Eh I'm not crying pal

I flashed all the supersu packages with no profit :D
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] masteruniverse:
Install new Supersu than you have no problems.

SuperSU 2.74
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] OMizz rana:
Their are two types of package.

SuperSU system less and supersu system mode.

Make sure you flash the correct package.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Abdl:
It has been confirmed 100% by many users that stock kernel is cooler than any other kernel(most espcially arter)

So..if youre looking for a cool device,stick to stock. If you live in snow and wants a warmer,use arter:silly:

Seriously though,no pun intended:good:
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] arter97:
"Much more heat than stock kernel while gaming", hmm.

There are only 2 things changed in the GPU sources in my kernel.

Undervolt control and new throttling threshold, both by [MENTION=4167023]AndreiLux[/MENTION]

The new throttling threshold is explained in the AnandTech article.

Stock behavior :

New threshold behavior :

AndreiLux explains that this is more consistent(which the graph obviously shows) and actually gains more battery.

Though afaik, that test was made in Android 5.0 days.

Maybe I'll spin a new test build reverting this change.
