Note 4 has a bigger battery and a more power hungry processor. The note 5 has a bigger battery then the S6. There are reasons I want it and reasons I dont. I do like the extra ram and battery size. I have to see how I feel about the size. I love the size of the S6 Edge. It will be hard to let go of this phone.

5.1.1 is released?

Without any knowledge of what improvements there could be,

I have little interest in taking the update.

Especially since we cannot keep root.

However, it is cool that it comes with the fix for stagefright.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
stagefright will b a flashable zip lol. some devices already have it out.. i personally could care less.. i dont use my phone for much and am uncertain if it can be used to root a device or not since im not that smart lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
If you do a quick Google Search of Stagefright you will find multiple articles saying the same thing;

namely, Stagefright is a security flaw that affects 95% of Android devices, and because of ASLR, it is very difficult to exploit.

Downloading OTA Now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
Freakin' sweet!

When you have it installed, tell us what changes you see.

I read elsewhere that the 5.1 update should have massive improvements to the camera,

but Verizon likes to leave some features out and put others in.

Since this is 5.1.1 there will definitely be security patches....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eric150:
Verizon also like to leave things out of Software update notes.

Anyone notice that the Text-to-Speech settings are gone?

I accidentally left it as English (UK) for Google's TTS before upgrading and now I have no way to switch is back to US.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SysAdmNj:
So for the people that installed the latest 5.1 update , I guess you could care less about root? I'm tempted since I'm already on 0F1, but should I just go for it and have faith we'll eventually get root??? *fingers crossed*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] le0.br4zuc4:
Phone is faster. I hope battery is a little better too. No raw file Support for camera blows
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
I have faith there will eventually be root for 5.1.1 on the Galaxy S6 Edge.

This is because in the past there have been root exploits found that can be used on such a broad range of devices.

For example, Towelroot works on ANY android device with a kernel date prior to July 2014;

Kingroot is even better--it works on ANY 32-bit device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SysAdmNj:
This is true, thanks.

Did you install it yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
No because I like using the apps that require root and I know this update will obviously break root.

Looks like the stock app doesn't support it and the Manual Camera checker reports it incorrectly. Camera FV-5 for example does show you can shoot JPG or RAW DNG.

That's weird. Very weird.

Is the aggressive RAM management issue still there? I'm rooted but might sacrifice root if I can get that fixed....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] :
I can say that after a day I still don't notice that horrible ram management issue. Seems to be gone, which is great. Now I'll just have to wait for the next update to break something else..lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cc16177:
I'm really tempted to unroot and try the official update... Just so scared my phone will go back to the slow mess it was before I installed CleanROM... :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] :
I completely understand. I can only speak on my experience, I work in IT and use my phone HEAVILY, it's performing like an entirely different phone now. Not only is it seemingly not slowing down over time, but it's faster than it ever has been. I've got 3 emails accounts (1 exchange, 1 gmail, 1 outlook), FB, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIN, Eset Mobile Security, etc etc (you get the idea). This is the way the phone should have been from day one, but it's not Samsung or Verizon's fault, but the fault of Google who does this with every major Android update where they later on patch the slowness, etc. Wait for Android 6, I'd bet money our phone will perform like crap again until 6.1 or whatever it will be. Name of the game, unfortunately.

I haven't rooted/rom'ed in years, the benefits (in my opinion) aren't as great as they used to be when key features were left out.

If you're truly worried, give it a week or two and keep your eyes on the posts here, see if any issues crop up. I'll do my best to report back after some time lapses and let everyone know how mine is holding up...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
i never said that at all..

i said why not manually appl the ram management fix.

you can fix it without being on 5.1.1 and if you stay on oe2 then youll maintain root at the same time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] zachchen1996:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
not sure how itd be possible unless the 5.1.1 can run on oe2 kernel/modem? surely you will not be able to downgrade below of1 and typically since its a dif os version they most of the time are not compatible with eachother (meaning 5.0 will not work on 5.1)

currently i have to turn off advance calling in order to make calls in my basement office. the Edge is the only phone in my arsenal that has reception issues.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cchris81:
So, I am seriously considering doing a hard reset after this update. Battery is completely unacceptable, I'm at 50% with 1 hour 20 minutes screen on time. I normally charge at 50% 2-3 times a day which is bad enough but now I'm doing it the same amount but when it gets in the 30s. I cleared cache too. I might give it another day or so though because it's new and all.

2 things I noticed of the bat, battery stats say remaining time is calculated on the last 7 days of usage, and they turned off soft key vibration.

This is a picture of my 3rd charge since the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ChadH42:
I was chatting with a developer of one of my apps after several crashes running his app. He said that the differences internally between 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 are significant enough and it makes it a good idea to reset and re-setup your phone under 5.1.1 so I'm thinking of doing that soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
hard reset isnt going to do anything lol. you should regularly do it..

now if you meant a factory reset thats a bit different and might help

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 32BitWhore:
Ugh, looks like they didn't fix the cell standby drain either. Still no reason for me to upgrade and lose root yet. So disappointing.

Sent from my Galaxy S6 Edge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Demiurge7:
In my experience, cell standby drain is highly tied to the signal strength in your area. At work, I am further out of town in a poorer connection area for vzw - on account, my battery is drained and cell standby significantly higher. At home, I have great signal strength and my phone will sometimes last 3x longer.

Generally, this phone (no matter the build number or modem so far) has a weaker antenna than previous Samsung galaxies, in my experience. I think if your not in a really strong reception area, this causes these notably higher standby drains, and is probably unique to each users area.

I hope this is something that can be fixed with software/modem updates (perhaps less agressive pinging/connection attempts when screen is off in lower strength areas), but have a feeling this weakness in signal has something more to do with the physical (metal) build.

**All speculation. I probably have no idea what I am talking about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
This statement is partially true for me, but poor cell standby is more closely related to kernel wakelocks than this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Demiurge7:
I see, could you explain what you mean by kernel wakelocks in relation to cell standby? It seems I don't quite know yet how these two are related. Do you suspect an updated/optimized kernel could improve the drain in lower reception areas?

Sent from a mobile device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Snowby123:
An updated kernel could definitely slow the drain.

The kernel is what allows the software to interact with the hardware,

so theoretically an updated/optimized kernel would lead to not only better battery life,

but better cellular network connections in any area.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jeff_roey:
My feedback after taking the OTA is there's no noticeable improvement in radio reception. I'm literally on the fringe of service both in my office and in my house - both I think a function of the building/home construction and configuration. If I step outside at either place I have a relatively strong 4G signal, just not inside. If there was any radio reception improvement - for me at least - I think I would've noticed it just because of being on the hairy edge of having reception in the first place. No noticeable improvement for me.

---------- Post added at 08:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

I tend to agree. In the post right above this, I talked about how poor the reception is at home and in the office. I'll chew through 60-70 pct of battery with my phone sitting on my desk relatively idle during an 8-9 hour workday while barely hanging onto a 1X signal. On the weekends with most of my time outside in strong 4G, the same phone usage is good for well over 24 hours on a single charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cchris81:
Yup thanks, that's exactly what I meant

Thanks, My brother is in IT and recomended the same thing, I'm going to give it till this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jeff_roey:
If you're going to go through the pain of factory resetting, you might as well just hold on til September when Android M drops! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 32BitWhore:
I have to disagree with this. When I turn WiFi off as is suggested in some of the "solution" threads, the drain *completely* goes away. Not like, it goes down a little bit, or it isn't as bad. It's just gone. It's not okay for me to have a random battery drain with WiFi on as I sit in an office with WiFi on literally all day. I can't afford to turn it off and on a hundred times a day just because I need to check my e-mail or something. I've resulted to sticking a wireless charging pad on my desk and basically leaving my phone on it all day, which is horrible for my battery, which is especially bad on this phone since it's not replaceable when it eventually decides to stop holding a charge.

In my experience, this has nothing to do with poor reception whatsoever, and has everything to do with a bug in the kernel. Whether it's Android related, Touchwiz related, or Verizon related I can't say. All I know is that it has been proven to exist and it has yet to be fixed when it should have been one of the first things addressed in newer updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jeff_roey:
Ah yes. I see the WIFI bug as well. In my situation, there's no WIFI at work so it's always toggled off. At home I've tried all options from keeping it off, to always on, to only on when awake. No disagreement from me re: there's a WIFI issue here but I do think WIFI and poor signal strength are compounding issues - they both suck juice. I can't say which is worse but my battery drain clearly happens during the work day, almost always with WIFI, Location, and often time data toggled off - just because I can't use it. Phone still warms up and battery still drops off rapidly with crappy cell signal.

Just sayin'

BTW: Still a little early but the WIFI drain issue seems to have gotten better with the 5.1 OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Demiurge7:
I see - yes, I know what the kernel is... I think I just misread your reply. I thought it was "to" me instead of "for" me.

Fair enough, I totally understand. Though, this is not really the point I was trying to make and is unrelated to signal strength and battery. I was simply pointing out that (in terms of signal strength) battery drain issues can be highly user specific - even day to do, device to device - in relation to cell reception and your specific area. I went camping a few weekends ago for a week, and was just on the verge of a good 4g area. With my phone screen off and not using my phone at all, I lost 60% in around 7 hours as my device desperately tried to find a signal and grab my emails, etc. Back in a good reception range, my phone sleeps like a baby - I can go several days with the phone idle losing very little battery. I just hear about issues with severe-to-mild battery drain, and then others with excellent battery life - and my experience is that area and signal strength plays a big part in a unique experience in terms of battery. It also seems much more prevalent on the s6, which I have noticed does not have as good an antenna/modem then previous galaxy devices (in my experience so far). My wife has an s5 and regularly gets a much better connection (both in speed and strength) than my s6 in the exact same areas. Same goes for my son's s4. Your issues is clearly something on a different level that I agree needs to be fixed. Have you tried diagnosing it? Does this only happen when you are at work?

I am unlimited, so I usually keep wifi off unless I am at home and need to connect to my router, chromecast, roku's, etc. Sometimes I am on wifi most of the day though, and have not experienced the conditions you mention. Though, I have heard of many who do. I do hope these are fixed - someone on the update should check to see if this apparent wifi drain is fixed.

i also think that when/if there is root it will be directly for 5.1.* and not some update requirement from a previous build.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Mayze23:
Was going to wait for root for 5.1.1 before updating but it doesn't look it's happening anytime soon. 5.0.2 is a jankfest and I couldn't deal with it anymore so I went ahead and updated through VZW assistant. So far I'm satisfied. RAM management seems much better and it feels smoother. Battery life is about the same but too early to tell. Most of the root apps I was using was to make 5.0.2 run better so I'm not missing root yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] steelersmb:
I've been thinking about doing the same thing. We are all probably going to have to start transitioning away from root anyhow with the next phone if we stay with Verizon because it's getting harder with each new release. I sure hope T Mobile's coverage gets better because I'm itching to switch but I have my own business and always need to be connected so I can't pull the trigger right now.
