[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] li326:
it will not only **** gold but also fix the weather since it is 25 degree in April......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Docmjldds:
Bought an LG G5 yesterday at my TMobile store. Returning it today. How many ways can this phone be such a letdown.

1. Gets extremely hot when charging.

2. Hate the lack of that nice Home button. Tried the camera. Took me 5 minutes to figure out you have to touch the screen to get to a menu to turn camera off.

DUMB!!!!!!

3. Yeah ..no app drawer. Sure I can load another launcher, but using LG's setup, you have to keep going into a menu to save the pages alphabetically after every add on

app.

4. I personally feel the camera on the S6 Edge I use so much nicer and the quality looked just as good in low lighting, and faster.

5. I also have the Gear S2. Brain lapse to a major portion forgetting that I know longer had 90% of my Gear S2 capabilities.

6. Screen to me NOT as bright and crisp as my S6 Edge

I really tried to jump ship to something else. Nope :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PanchoPlanet:
Bravo!

Don't settle for second almost best.

Heck I'd even drive you back to tmobile store and buy you lunch.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Docmjldds:
Yeah....just disappointed about the locked bootloader on the new S7s.. But man...what a difference in build quality on the LG. Even my wife, said, you downgraded !!! Looks like a cheap phone :crying:

She was the one that said return it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
P.s. read a review @ gsmarena abt canera shootout between s7 edge and g5

Their conclusion?---

G5 edged out the s7 edge.

It was better in almost most pics and scenarios, even in low light shots...;)

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

Oh and forgot.

I read at android authority, t mob released a MASSIVE UPDATE for s7 bringing many features...

So i guess thats where t mob has been busy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] whymoo:
It will not only s*** gold and fix the weather it will also obliterate Trump, come with HL3, shoot portals allow infinite apps to run at once and have battery life that never ends.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Whereas the S7 patch update obliterates all politrickshuns.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SeaFractor:
Wow, been gone from this thread since 2015, still no update yet. Good thing there is a lot of other development going on to keep me distracted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] darkmuck:
I wonder if the unlocked (non-tmobile) SM-G920T will get the update at the same time...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] wase4711:
About time you started listening to your better half..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
I wonder the same thing. To my knowledge no GSM version of any Galaxy phone got the MM update in North America. Only CDMA so far. Perhaps the update for GSM models will be release around the same time.

People on the AT&T S6 thread think the update will come on April 14: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66217152&postcount=150
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
From what I've read it seems that only about 10% of the reviews have been positive. Most of the reviews have criticized battery power, performance, and the visual distaste for the upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Docmjldds:
Funny.....I was going to tell you about my experience in a PM...but I think I said it all. Nice to hear from you again. Will PM later when I have the time.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] imsuchahotdog:
1. I have not had that problem, in fact using it right now hooked up.

2. Took getting used to, but just like any new device against it's about getting used to. The fingerprint sensor ir wicked fast on the lg so far.

3. Lg smart world has the lg theme allowing use of app drawer and you keep the widgets etc it's pretty smooth. First day I used nova launcher but then saw the before mentioned fix.

4. I loved the camera on the s6. My pictures with it in last year's Europe trip and the turquoise waters of Cancun looked awesome. But I still have to try more outside pictures on the g5 and we will test it out the end of this month on our two week trip around Europe :D

5. I've yet to really try any smart watches so no biggie on my end.

6. I'm enjoying the g5 screen no issues, videos look good.

I have been long time Samsung fan, had s2, 3, 4, 5, 6. But the s6 losing the removable battery and poor battery life were deal breaker. Spent huge part of the day charging as I would be at like 40 percent by noon, so far with the lg I only charge at night a bit, and fully charge it while I get ready for work. The s6 is great device that never lagged on me, and took awesome pictures. I really wish they had released mm on the s6 before I shipped it back. Who knows I may go back in the future if battery life is not an issue. I do admit I like the lack of TouchWiz never been a huge fan and lg being more bare bones bloat ware wise. Hope the s6 gets mm release soon!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] wase4711:
it was interesting seeing your post on the G5, because my wife can't decide if she wants to dump her G4 for it...

I agree with you though, no phone with the controls on the back for me either...

For me, I'll never have a non nexus phone again though..Even though the Nexus 6 is over a year old, there are still tons of new roms/dev coming out all the time for it..I had 6.0 on my phone at least 4 months ago, and most samsung phones STILL dont have it!

and, the second or third version on Android N beta versions are out for the nexus at this point, so its never a dull moment..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
What are the battery expectations? I hear people griping about the S6 battery a lot. I get about 14-15 hours between charges.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] imsuchahotdog:
I start my day 7 and by noon I would be around 60. 4 other coworkers around the office with the s6 from different service providers , att, sprint, and one metro pcs had similar results with their s6. I feel I haven't changed my usage patterns but at noon when me and coworker compared battery life I was at 87. And I feel I took care of the battery on the s6, never left it over night charging etc. Just never had any real luck with battery life, and that was with WiFi, Bluetooth, auto sync off. Out of country trips I guess since I'm roaming battery was even more horrible. In Prague we had to turn off our phones and put them to charge at any chance we got since battery life would plummet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Is your device going into deep sleep? Are you utlizing it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] imsuchahotdog:
No longer have it so can't check. Used t mobile jump to upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Docmjldds:
This is the first time since my Nexus ONE, then every Galaxy TOL since then, I have not yet upgraded. I was seriously disappointed in the one day I used the G5. Maybe users not used to hardware buttons on the front could adapt. But really, the G5 just felt cheap when I held it next to the S6 Edge, I still am using :)

So unhappy that the Tmob S7 have locked bootloaders. Hmmm...Nexus 6P opinion. Not too worried about thread drift since we are deep into this now anyways :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] robogoflow:
Damnnnn. You guys still haven't received an update?! Sprint just released the s5 mm update. I was checking this page 4+ times a day before I upgraded. I don't know what I would have done by now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
You would have veen doing the same stuff we are doing like

Opening this thread 4 times a day

Visiting t mob site atleast 3 times

Opening porn sites from the t mob site tab we just opened.

Thinking of upgrading to g5/s7/6p

Downloading games to pass time

More porn.

You know.. the usual stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] whymoo:
Same. XD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] wase4711:
6P is an awesum choice, but still a little costly..

If you can handle 5.9 inches, the the nexus 6 can be had ridiculously cheap, it gets updated all the time, dev continues to blossom, and I cant find any reason to still not recommend it for anyone who likes a big phone..

Why did TMO lock the S7 bootloader? I thought they never lock their BL's..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
Supposedly Samsung locked the bootloader and T-Mobile is trying to get them unlocked.

http://www.tmonews.com/2016/03/t-mo...egere-says-t-mo-engineers-talking-to-samsung/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Docmjldds:
Yeah as the other user said. it was a Samsung decision to lock the BL on Tmo models. The US versions are Snapdragon 820 processors that have this issue. The International S7s are Exynos and Chainfire already has put out his typical fix for instant rooting, much like what we used to have prior to lolipop I believe. There was a thread where one user even describes using a different warranty program that costs 50 bucks. For a 25 dollar deductible one can take their US locked variant, claim an issue and request an International variant for a replacement. I guess that's one way around the problem. Why Samsung is Soooooo concerned about such a minority of users that even know what a bootloader is is beyond me and many others. I would guess that probably 90% or more phones today are NOT bought by the geeks like us here that know what bootloaders are or care about rooting, recovery programs and whatever. They could have the best of both worlds just leaving things a little open for the majority of users that just buy and use their phones stock day to day without a thought....like my wife, and yet allow the super minority of people to tinker like us here. But....why be so logical.

I really wanted to just use my jump program. All I did was pay $51 in sales tax on the LG G5. My monthly costs was 3 dollars less than the S6 Edge. Too bad carriers don't handle Google phones too :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
Update for Unlocked S6 at Best Buy?

I chatted online with a Samsung service rep regarding when my US factory unlocked S6 will get MM. The person recommended I visit the Samsung Experience shop at Best Buy. They will update my phone to whatever is available. The rep wouldn't say if MM is available. So it's worth a try for us unlocked owners. My local BB has a Samsung shop inside, so I'll try it tomorrow. Below is my conversation.

Update 1: I went to the Samsung Experience Shop inside my local Best Buy, but the Samsung (not BB) sales person couldn't help me. Her computer wouldn't recognize my phone upon plugging it in. It only recognizes carrier specific models. She said they can install updates/software for any US carrier model phone, but nothing for my phone. Her supervisor didn't know what to do either. So I'll have to contact Samsung again.

Update 2: The next Samsung rep I spoke to (phone call this time) instructed me to install Smart Switch on my computer and connect my phone to get the latest updates. I first installed Kies3. When I connected my phone, Kies3 stated it doesn't support my device and to install Smart Switch. So I installed it and no update is available (bummer :( ). I thought Smart Switch was only for transferring files from an old phone to a new Galaxy phone, but it also does system backups and formatting. See attached image.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] popokrew:
I'm going to die waiting for this update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] piotrus22:
not to add to anyone's misery. but FYI i switched from the s6 to a nexus 5x about 1.5 weeks ago and couldn't be happier. awesome battery out of the box (and i am a heavy user throughout the day, texting, spotify on 4-5 hours a day at my desk at work, youtube, whatsapp, etc.) couldn't see the big difference in going back down to a 1080p screen, I don't even miss the wireless charging. The 5x charges just as fast as my s6. camera quality is on par, better night shots and i even tried out android N already. I mean, I don't know what I was thinking. Samsung hardware is nice, but without the software to back it up - PEACE OUT SAMSUNG. to anyone debating doing this. don't think twice, you will not look back.

I left this to install whilst I fell asleep, when I woke up I found my phone constantly turning it's self on and off not getting past the Samsung logo page.

I cant get through to the admin boot menu either.

Can somebody help me please, my phone is now useless after updating to 6.

The Update is available on Sam Mobile...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I'm just a little spiteful at T Mobile because they choose not to update the Galaxy S4 to Lollipop as all the other providers did..

It forced me to upgrade due to the Stage Fright bug.. I know I could go with Cyanogen Mod or other 3rd party ROMs, but I depend on the Wifi Calling feature, and I've had issues with call quality with Hangouts..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] nappent:
Lol. First off we havent gotten 3-4 updates already for nothing for our S6 and S6 Edge devices. The S4 was a mistake of a device and could not compete with previous succes of the S3. Developement stopped early because it wasn't worth the cost. Aka the S4 was a sinking ship. Skip ahead to the present, the S6 is in a different eviroment where Google is nearly demandimg OEMs/carriers to provide updates at a accelerated pace. Tmo in the US has been leading the pack at providing updates for S6 devices weeks if not months before all other carriers.

Also Aosp or other 3rd party developement is actually unlikely as Samsung does not release all of there source unlike other Samsung devices that use the Qualcomm processor. Samsung is notorious for providing very little development support to comunities like Xda for ther inhouse processors. This is why CM is nearly non-existent with this device.

Serioulsy research before you post. If you used this forum as it is designed for you would have already know all of this and wouldn't post completely meaningless non-sense. We got too much of that already...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
So I guess I was the only one who liked the Galaxy S4, I used the I9505 Firmware and ported it over to my S4 and it ran fairly well..

Tmobile in my personal opinion and it may differ from yours and I completely understand and I could be wrong..

But T Mobile is in the business of selling phones and upgrades every 6 months.. There is no incentive to upgrade to another OS..

Although if they do.. I will wait 6 months.. Until the bugs can be ironed out, and a proper SePermissive kernel... I was quite happy with Kitkat before they fudged everything up when moving over to Android Run Time..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] lorddart:
Considering most phone manufacturers come out with a new flagship every 6 months some every year. And (some) people are willing and desire to have the newest device out. I think this isn't so much about t-mobile.

Guessing we won't get it till feb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] troby86:
The Galaxy S6 is still in the "manufacturer development" stage. Not sure what you guys are looking at who say it's complete. Image attached.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Illrigger:
The rumor is the 920i (international unlocked) is getting it this month. Add a month or two for the 920t base image to arrive from Samsung, and then T-Mo to thoroughly break it putting their custom crap all over it, and it likely means a March release for us. So just like the S5 vs S6 last year, we can expect the S7 to arrive with Marshmallow in tow before the S6 gets it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] trungctu:
With this process, I think we will get update in 2nd quarter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Can anyone confirm a locked bootloader?

I know I'm jumping the gun.. I'm slowly downloading the update via Sam Mobile and will be uploading it to my Android file host by morning.. By then I assume everyone else will be hosting it.. I will be hosting the G920T Version of the GS6 "G920TUVU3EPD1"

I personally will not be updating until I hear reviews and see a custom kernel that permits root..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
You can download it using SamFirm at 10,000 kB/s.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
These are trying times on my wallet.. So I choose to download it the slow method..

I should have it finished in 15 mins, then I'll upload to my Android file host..

In a couple of hours you can just google my username under Android file host and you should find my upload when it's completed it's upload.. I'm being cautious since I'm unsure if the bootloader is locked or not.. I'm betting it is not since it's not a Snapdragon, but there are no custom kernels available.. So I don't want to jump into the pit with out an option to go back..

Edit: Uploading G920TTMB3EPD1 to my Android Host as I type.. Will take about a couple of hours..

Google my Username Zaphodspeaks in Android file Host after about 2 hours at this time and it will be available to the masses.. It will be in this Folder: https://www.androidfilehost.com/user/?w=settings-dev-files&flid=53975

If it's not there yet, it's still uploading..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] The Sickness:
There is no kernel source available yet either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Nope but here is the Stock MM 6.01 Image

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762635997683

It will be a while before developers get to it..

I myself will be toying with it.. Unless I hear the bootloader is locked..

then I'm just keeping LP...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] joeatheist:
Is the bootloader locked?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
I am downloading update.. but my wifi is slow...

Its gonna take 4 more hrs till update is downloaded..

Will reply then how mm is and if bootloader is locked..

Meanwhile, you guys can just have a chat with t mob to know if its locked or unlocked

Rebooting into bootloader from recovery, first checks DM-Verity and then simply reboots back to the the system. Do not pass go etc...

Adb reboot Bootloader, simply acts as a reboot.

To answer my own question:

I was prepared for it to wipe /data but it did not.

Yea the OTA didnt wipe my data, but i have an odd feeling I need to do a full wipe. Dont know why but, the system just feels odd.

The download is very much appreciated. I'm in the same boat as you. I don't want to be in the beta group. I waited this long. I can wait a bit longer to see how this update shakes out. Thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Iacon:
On Second thought, the bl isnt locked.

I took the OTA, then tried to Odin back to DOJC. The phone took the downgrade without a hitch, rebooted a few times and started up like it should with the setup wizard.

So all is well, happy flashing :)

That's good enough for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
I'm going to hold out for a week or so before upgrading and see what other users are saying re: battery life, performance, etc. is. The early reviews of MM on the S6 from other carriers/users was not very positive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fadis:
There are still wait until when will update 920T1 (MetroPCS)! Incredibly long!

Do you think whether - it is possible to flash 920T on 920T1 ?, as I understand they are the same.

Just installed the update. Any ideas on how to install TWRP and root? Do I need a patched bootloader?

I'm getting the old Recovery is not SEAndroid Enforcing hang.

EDIT 3: idlekernel's TWRP seems to work.

Status Update:

Arter's TWRP doesn't seem to have working MTP or adb with my device for some reason, so I wasn't able to transfer over the SuperSU file. I flashed idlekernel's TWRP and was able to transfer SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651 over MTP. Before flashing SuperSU, I still got a bootloop with idlekernel's TWRP, but after flashing it, it patched the boot image and kernel and I was able to boot fine.

EDIT 4: Crap wrong SU version....

EDIT 5: Finally got root working lol. Instructions below
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jopo89:
I updated my Metro PCS version

Hey Fadis,

I have a Metro PCS Galaxy S6 as well (G920t1)

I took the T-Mobile 6.0.1 and installed it through Odin. Very easy, everything is working. the boot screen is now T-Mobile but I don't care.

So far so good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Here's how I got root working:

Install idlekernel's TWRP using ODIN. Download it here: https://idlekernel.com/twrp/zeroflte/

Install HackerKernel v14 for the G920, which will patch the bootimage and root. Find the download link here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...nt/kernel-hacker-kernel-s6-universal-t3254487

Can you provide a screenshot confirming root to allay any concerns or doubts that others might have?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Yes will do. I need to do a fresh install real quick though. Messed up a few too many things experimenting. What would you like as verification?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Once you get it squared away just post a screen shot confirming SU installed or install a root verification app. Confirm root, take a screen shot and then post the screen shot. You may also want to post a screen shot showing the "about phone" section so people know that root is now confirmed on MM.

A visual confirmation is going to hopefully minimize the number of "Can I still root after the marshmallow update??" posts.

Thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Fadis:
Thanks for the answer

I flash ODIN, and stop message - SetupConnection... flashing stopped

As I understand it is protection. How to avoid it?
