Flashing was successful. I did not do full wipe, CSC has not changed, the time for tests !!!! [/url][/IMG]
[Galaxy S6 General] Jmldsilva:
test and give your feedback please. Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] radekklamzynski7:
the system is running smoothly, that is my feeling. With the battery? I do not know in a few days I can say something. :D
[Galaxy S6 General] Jmldsilva:
and about ram? do you see any lower consupmation in the begining or any better multitasking. sometimes when i am writing a post on facebook and need to change to internet to see something and return to facebook it restart and loose the post this is na exemple. i think that touchwiz it loads many recources into ram. and then there is not so many room to other apps. and the apps consume lots of memory.
[Galaxy S6 General] alexxutzu:
With this update, the system is running smoothly and the battery is much better (for me). Less ram consumption (~65-70%) but no fix for ram management
[Galaxy S6 General] pogi.paul0119:
How about the camera? Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] Jmldsilva:
Less consumption is already a good sign
[Galaxy S6 General] woeds:
Any chance that this update adds raw support in the Camera app?
[Galaxy S6 General] skoobee:
Still no OTA in the uk on sim free phone :(

If I flash the file linked earlier with odin does it effect knox or flash counter?
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
it shouldnt but it could potentially factory reset or make you ineligible for otas until you flash...
[Galaxy S6 General] mgfjd:
I downloaded and installed the mega and sammobile's software and my phone got into a bootloop with the new firmware. I had to install the old one again.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] profesy:
You can try factory reset!!

I think that you can solve it
[Galaxy S6 General] mgfjd:
I won't factory reset just to install an update to 5.1.1. I am running the old 5.1.1.
[Galaxy S6 General] profesy:
I've flashed it over G920FXXU2BOFJ and all went well :fingers-crossed:

New update from T-Mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
More info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Sadly, RAM issue still there. I don't see any changes in settings or features either

No RAW mode

No advanced messaging from T-Mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] itskapil:
Hey, btw T-Mobile is promising battery improvements with the update. Do you see any good improvement in that regard?

- Source
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] d3l1:
After a few hours, seriously? Give it at least a week and a few charging cycles until any info is worth giving.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
FYI, RAW support was added in OF6, just not a part of the native camera app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mrvirginia:
thanks for the heads up [MENTION=2880996]laureanop[/MENTION]

glad to see this officially now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sensationfan623:
Have a recommended camera app that does take advantage of it?

Looking forward to T-Mobile's G920TUVU2COF8 update. Anyone have a link for a download?

Do you have a way of duplicating the memory issues? It only happens randomly for me

It was rumored to give the WiFi calling/VoLTE battery drain bug.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] FatalIll:
Huh? That statement didn't make very much sense to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] guaneet:
Edit: auto correct :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tonytien:
Updated this morning. On first boot it showed my EFS stuff had been wiped. After a reboot, it's back but now my system status is Custom. Not sure I'm a fan of this update, but I might just reset with SmartSwitch to fix it.

EDIT: Seems that was a minor glitch, after a minute or so it's back to Official. Strange.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] masri1987:
I hope man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
I've been going through Google + posts and members are claiming that RAM management is fixed or greatly improved. I DO NOT agree with that. It's still the same crap for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Auto rotation is way faster now!!

Can anybody concur with this??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] abachhan75:
update as well, too early to declare, but I think battery drain has reduced. We shall get better picture in few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] guaneet:
fyi, you are able to odin TWRP and flash gavin's unikernel.! so there is that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mrvirginia:
i have no idea as to what they fixed. right now my phone is having sync errors. sometimes technology really blows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] daewond3r:
Not sure if it's placebo effect or what, but things definitely feel "smoother" where I used to see lag, hiccups, stutters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
Same here. Much snappier. Battery life so far seems decent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] aaroncal:
Just my observation.....every day from 3:30 to 7:300 I'm at work starting with a full charge and by lunch I'm at around 80%. I took the update today and kept my same routine. I'm at lunch now with 93%. We will see if it holds up and/or gets better with a couple battery cycles. Just thought I'd put it out there since I have fairly consistent activities.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
Probably because it wiped the cache. You could do the same yourself once a week in recovery to get the same results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
I miss S4 VirginRom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kill2010:
My S6 is blazing fast right now, hopefully it stays this way
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
i think, if the cell standby drain has been squashed, it will be apparent in less than a week's time.

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

did you simply accept the ota?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kill2010:
Yeah, I didn't do a factory reset or anything.. So far so good, I've turned on Volte to see if the cell drain bug is there, I don't see it so far
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
maybe i'm just imagining this, but I think auto-brightness is slightly less bright now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] fix-this!:
Is there any way to flash the ota when were rooted? Or should i just odin back to stock 5.1.1 then take the ota, reroot? Got to be a simpler way. Is this just a radio update? Just hate to start over for a minor update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
So this update does not break root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] guaneet:
nope!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
very nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] GeorgeNYer:
Is your Knox tripped?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] guaneet:
yes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mrvirginia:
yeah me too

seemed this was the case for me as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jmilacek:
Son of a *****...

Was on 5.0.2, everything was great. Figured I'd finally take the updates since this one listed battery fixes. Now I have the cell standby problem (previously had wifi calling and VoLTE on and no issues). I'm at 85% already after 2h26m and cell standby has been on for 2h26m. SIIIIIIIIIIIGH. Even factory reset after the OTA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
I had the cell standby issue before, I also upgraded due to the listed improvements and I'm still seeing the cell standby. I'm going to factory reset and see if that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ipaq_101:
Noticed the same exact thing, I still can't believe it. The battery is working like it was supposed to. I hope it continues, too good to be true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ultra spikey:
Installed this update last night. Still getting bad battery drain. GSAM Battery Monitor is reporting 6-8% drain per hour. On 5.0.2 I was getting 2-3% drain per hour. This is with the phone in standby.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
I just turned on VOLTE for the day. Let's see what happens..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jmilacek:
Can I flash Unified Kernel over this?

Totally stock right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mrvirginia:
for those of you getting bad battery drain... there are so many variables that could be the cause of this. for example, i just realized that disabling backup my data (settings->backup and reset) killed Google Play Services which has been the drain on my phone.

i think the worst part about all these pay systems and Samsung is worrying about tripping KNOX (as well as warranty void). with root, finding battery drain culprits and taking care of it is super easy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] fix-this!:
Gonna wait till we have a stock debloated/deodexed build to update. My s6 seems to run fine as is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ganggreen30:
How do you turn on volte I cannot find that setting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ingenious247:
You're not imagining it. And it pisses me off, because it's harder to see when outside now..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MadJoe:
Yeah, but you're saving battery! :victory:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ingenious247:
I'm sure that would be their response (T-Mo & Sammy)

But I never complained about the battery life.. that's what quick charging is for..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
From the phone app settings.

---------- Post added at 09:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

You're nit-picking. Ha, get it?

Seriously, can someone measure the maximum nits and see if it's changed? Where's Max when you need him?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SRZ1977:
Just got my S6 yesterday and upgraded it today through SmartSwitch. When I requested an OTA update through the phone, it kept telling me the phone was up to date already. I got impatient and decided to use SmartSwitch. Anyways, the phone does feel very fast and snappy. I don't know about battery life just yet, but I am hoping that has improved as well. I also cleared the cache and did a factory reset as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Themetnut:
My wife got the update yesterday and now she isn't getting signal where she used to. Would rather have signal than better battery life. Anyway to revert this update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ingenious247:
Actually, that was fairly witty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Maddball:
You can Odin the last version. I did so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Themetnut:
I forget, do you have to wipe everything before you odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] CCUPS101:
Google Play Services Crashing

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, I have a stock T-Mobile S6 Edge and I updated it yesterday. It was working great and I restarted the phone today and it said optimizing one app when loading, when it booted up Google Play Services and google.process.gapps were constantly saying they stopped working. I pressed ok and it happened right after. I haven't tried to root my phone or anything, I am waiting for a reliable way and I have some experience with Android development but I cannot figure out what is going on. It might be related to the update. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Maddball:
Nope and all data was saved. I do this to root, freeze apps then unroot all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
Or they are doing something with the network. But I've been having similar issues and I'm not sure if this was happening before the update. I'm in eastern PA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] B3L13V3:
Hey peeps, I got this new update...if you're wondering there's some new Samsung stuff as usual including a Samsung pay place holder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Your update is more updated than my update. How did you get this, hmmm?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
He only got it because he was updated[emoji15]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Words...not... understanding... confusion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mrvirginia:
uhhh just uninstall whatever version of Google Play Services is on your device and it will ask you to update. should fix your issue...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] CCUPS101:
I just wiped the cache and it seemed to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
Apps still closing in the background. :mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] fix-this!:
has anyone made a stock, debloated/deodexed version of the new update at all yet? just curious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Yeah ram management seems the same.

So what's the latest build? Dude had something leaked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Cell stand by issue still present, multitasking not fixed, VOLTE sadly still drains battery and causes SMS issues for me. Battery same as before.

I can absolutely and positively say that this update did NOTHING!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Yup I agree. I don't see much of a difference in standby times or SOTs.

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

Am I the only one curious about this DOG9 build? Where the hades did that come from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
What kind of screen on time are you guys getting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Around 3 hours. I can get more if I disable VoLTE and WiFi Calling. But I don't want to.

Maybe I'll by an extended battery... Oh shoot, I can't do that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
I was getting 4 with my s6e on Verizon, I came to T-Mobile and got the regular s6 and I'm struggling to get 2... Earlier today I was at 47 minutes SOT and my phone was under 50 percent :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
I never had battery issues per se with any iteration of 5xv on this phone.

VOLTE always disabled, on decent LTE 95% of the time and with about 40 packages of bloat disabled here's my typical day:

14-17 hours on battery, 3 hrs sot, about 45% battery left when I plug the phone back in at 2-3 AM.

More than enough for me but my point about the update still stands.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
do you have a lot of things syncing? i.e. gmail, facebook, twitter etc...? ive had to disable things just to get the two hours im getting...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Two gmail accounts, Facebook, Facebook messenger, Twitter, WhatsApp syncing all the time.

Facebook and Messenger are 90% of the time at the top of my battery consumption.

No gaming at all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
Wtf. That's infuriating. How the hell do I struggle to get 2 and I have half the **** syncing. And barely get through a day. Ugh.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
It's the damn poorly written apps!! Example: I love the Weather Channel app, however, it causes and extra 7% daily drain + the phone is kept awake an extra 30 minutes a day!!! So I had to settle for Weatherbug!!

Many apps affect Android OS consumption without you knowing about it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
I had Google photos and one drive both syncing my photos, essentially right after I take a photo. So I've switched that to while charging only. I'm not sure of any other apps I use that sync, that I haven't already disabled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Exactly. Always a good idea to do back ups while plugged in.

Here's proof of my usage so far today:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Screenshots
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
Oh yeah. I NEVER would get something like that. My phone would be nearly dead. The other day I was on the battery prolly 12 or so hours and had like 53 minutes SOT and my battery was in the 30s... That's with strong signal/WiFi at home and strong LTE at work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
My wife cannot get passed the 3 hr screen on time either. She's at home on WiFi most of the day and that damn cell stand by bug eats 20%+ of her battery!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
Crazy.. So to defeat that bug, you need to disable volte and WiFi calling or just volte? I've experimented with both.. I just don't care for losing LTE when making a phone call. I use my data often when talking on the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
While on the network just disable VOLTE and WiFi calling.

While on WiFi same thing but the bug is still there to a degree. I have a suspicion that thev excessive WiFi drain is a software/hardware combo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Also make sure that under WiFi settings, advanced, scanning always available , that is NOT enabled. That's a battery drainer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
Yeah I always check that. Thanks for the help. In the short amount of time since making a few changes, it seems better. Obviously too early to tell but I take a lot of pictures so I bet that was a pretty big drainer for me. I also went from fetch back to push on my typemail account. After doing some research it seems push may be better for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
My battery life has been decent. But it's a love hate relationship
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
After making those changes, it's more acceptable. Still not ideal tho. I'm hoping it'll continue to get better as the days pass since I just made the changes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
Have you checked the power setting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Powell730:
Holy crap, never knew that was there! This must not have been in the Verizon variant. Thank you! There's no abnormal battery drain but I forced stopped a lot of apps. Once I open an app I auto force stopped, do I have to go back in and check auto force stop again? Or does it continue to automatically stop it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ali87va:
This update also fixed the FC messages we were getting when trying to access edge settings with a different theme (avengers for me)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Edge settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] noodlev1:
Just in case anyone is wondering, I just downgraded from COF8 to COF6 via ODIN with KNOX still intact, My phone has always been stock with the exception of pingpong root, before 5.1.1. I repeat KNOX is still 0x0 / not VOIDED.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
setting is permanent
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] GeorgeNYer:
Was your data still intact both after upgrading and downgrading? Settings/apps/internal storage?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] fix-this!:
Definitly worse battery life on the new update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] noodlev1:
All my data stayed intact, I even froze some bloat with titanium backup after rooting, then flashed back to complete stock. Data, Apps, Theme all stayed intact, as a bonus all the bloat stayed frozen and knox still at 0x0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] GeorgeNYer:
And you were still rooted after downgrading??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] noodlev1:
No, I gave it up because I use the finger print scanner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] glcK23:
You just be using your phone differently. My battery life improved along with other S6 users who upgraded
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] knitler:
To be honest the longer I have this phone the more I wonder if I should get another Moto X new or just wait for one to release. I have just never been happy with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] glcK23:
Wait for new nexus phone.. That's what I'm doing... With the specs that this phone has, I am sorely disappointed in the performance hiccups I have experienced. As soon as I think the phone is running smooth and quickly, it starts to lag switching apps like hangouts etc... Samsung needs to go vanilla android. Add their apps, but not their GUI
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jhun80:
2 times....

My phone froze 2x already after this update. Worst thing was, i rely on the alarm clock. I put my phone on silent, then i woke up realizing my phone was off. 2x it happends, i dont trust for this phone to wake me up anymore.

Have to used volume up + power button in order for this phone to start.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Samsung refuses to re work TW from the ground up. All they did in this version was to give us the ability to disable a few apps.

The only reason why the Galaxy or Note lines keep getting a little faster with every release is the hardware, RAM and processor they throw at the phones!

Yesterday I was installing a few things on a Nexus 5 and it really puts our phone to shame. We get used to how choppy and laggy this phone is and until we use another phone we don't realize this.

A heavy skin doesn't have to be slow or laggy. Sense is very heavy, but try to find an HTC phone that lags ( even 3 year old HTC s)

Until Samsung decides to rebuild TW completely they'll never get rid of this effing lag!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Moreover, a couple of years ago I bought an S4 and of course it was a lagfest. I installed the gpe edition ROM and although the framework and kernel were still TW the phone became one of the best I ever owned!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
I'm either gonna throw this phone away or root at this point. Now it freezes on me and apps are now closing in the background.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonahtriangle:
Am i missing something here ? The OP was a special person who got this exclusive update. Now it seems like so many people here are talking about lag and battery life like they have the update too. How many people here actually hve this update because I know I sure don't.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
I loved the GPE roms, made the S4 so much fun to own. VirginRom was awesome. Too bad they didn't keep GPE going. Imagine a GPE S6. With Xposed.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Most people are talking about OF8 build number, the latest OTA that was supposed to improve battery life but really didn't. One other person reported a different, presumably newer or leaked build (check out post #57), but I haven't heard about it being available OTA.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

what ever happened with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Nah this is an official T-Mobile release. I have no idea what % of users got it. My wife and I got it the first hour after the release, that's all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
Yes, with this ROM it was perhaps the best phone I owned in my 5 year Android history.
