Well what the hell....back when I had my what was it my S3 maybe...the buzz was that the Dlink routers didn't play well with the Samsungs so then I got the Linksys now I gotta run out and get another new router that "might" fix the issue of 1 device out of half a dozen or so in my house all of which connect without issue.

Seriously Samsung....yer losin me here....

---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

Even my Samsung smart tv connects to the router.

Samsung lost me when they locked the Bootloader for the Galaxy S7..

This is my last Samsung device.. Tired of waiting 6 months for updates and now the S7 has a locked Bootloader?

I can upgrade when ever I like at this point, but I like my S6.. But my next phone will be a Nexus Device.. No worries about updates on those..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] thanhngo:
Thank you so much
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dcalero:
I looked at the router config page, make sure that under your router config "wireless network mode" that you have it set to "mix". You can also try power cycling your router although i'm sure you have tried that already. Under wireless channels select 1, 6 or 11. Try removing the encryption key and see if you phone connects. I don't know if you can save your router config but if you can, then you can reset the router completely try to see if your phone connects if it doesn't then you can just restore your old config on your router.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Tried all that shiznit. The problem isn't with connecting. The problem is with the device maintaining the connection.

Initially i thought it might be a glitch with ds battery saver considering my device disconnects once the screen goes off and deep sleep kicks in. However, once the screen comes back on wifo kicks back in as well. According to wifi settings the signal is connected with a strong connection nut speed test reads network issue and nothing loads because no internet. Whatsmore, since wifi settings say connected i am not seeing that logcat is picking up on the fact that the connection is actually broken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
My S4 used to do that... When it went to sleep, no WiFi, it would disconnect.. The phone it's self was a refurb so I didn't put much faith in it.. Now I have a modified LP Touchwiz on it and it works just fine, hell better than Kitkat.. Pisses me off that Samsung never released LP for the Galaxy S4 when they did internationally..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Can't recall if i had this problem on my S5. I went from the S3 to the S5 and my gf had the S4 so we have had the fleet.

I was having this issue on the S6 on LP. My gf has the S6 as well and she is still on LP and rooted. I am not sure if her phone is doing the same thing or not. I suppose when she goes to bed or takes an afternoon siesta I could grab it and check into it. I did check her phone wifi settings though at one point to make sure they were consistent with my own settings.

[MENTION=410358]dcalero[/MENTION], [MENTION=5501022]Zaphodspeaks[/MENTION], [MENTION=4921688]The Sickness[/MENTION]

I flashed the stock MM and am presently in the process of backing up apps with TB. At the moment the phone has not yet lost its WiFi connection and it has been 5-10 minutes since I flashed MM. Normally the connection would have broke by now.

Thus, at this point I am wondering if it might be an app that was/is causing the WiFi connection to break.

I remember that when I had this issue on LP I did boot to safe mode and still had the prob...(there is a post attesting to that somewhere around here..)

Once my apps are updated via TB I am going to monitor and if it breaks if it does then what???

I suppose I could either boot to safe mode and see if it still breaks. Or freeze apps in TB??? What do you guys think?

Thanks. (still connected while editing this)

Still working! Even enabled DS battery saver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] n0kia916:
Anyone know if you can update to the 6.0 using the cellular south version of the S6 via odin? My model is 920T but it's a XAR for the product version.

currently my phone is unlocked when I bought it from amazon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] darkmuck:
I also have the Cellular South version of the 920T but haven't tried the T-Mobile firmware yet. However, according to this post on reddit, a few people have been able to get it working by flashing the T-Mobile firmware and then flashing the modem.bin file from the original Cellular South firmware. https://m.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/4eazdg/nont_mobile_smg920t_need_some_insight/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] n0kia916:
Worked!!

thank you for the link!!! Running Marshmallow now following the steps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] darkmuck:
Does everything work properly, GPS, WiFi, fingerprint, etc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
I did this several days ago. The LED stopped working, so I went into stock recovery (my phone is stock) and I did a factory reset. That fixed my LED problem. If something doesn't work properly, I suggest doing the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] n0kia916:
LED

:p

GPS worked fine, just drove to work with it on to test. Just registered another fingerprint and was able to login with new and old registered finger tips. Actually the LED works for me!! don't have to reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
My WiFi calling appears to be hung up on "Enabling....".

Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?

**Update: Tmobile tech support reset the SIM card twice and no go. I also went to the Tmobile store and they dropped a new SIM card in and still...no go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Have you installed a custom kernel? In order for WiFi calling to work, the kernel must be stock (or at least based on stock, I believe).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
It's stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Is everything stock? Did you uninstall or freeze anything (with Titanium or Package Disabler Pro)? Are you rooted?

Does it work with a clean install?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Deodexed stock ROM and yes I am rooted. I didn't uninstall anything but I did freeze a half dozen or so things but nothing that should have effected WiFi calling. To be sure I reflashed the ROM and have not frozen or un-installed anything. Even still...

WiFi calling just hangs with the "Enabling...".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Hmm. Maybe the deodexing just doesn't work well with WiFi calling? Check with other users of the Deodexed ROM I guess. It works fine for me on Odexed though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Yeah I may give it a go to flash the stock ROM via Odin later tonight.

I'll report back after that if I can't get it to go otherwise. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I have ran into the same problem with pulling App, Priv-App, and Framework and deodexing and pushing it back to my phone..

Yes I can deodex, but it does affect WiFi Calling somehow.. I believe it's something in the Framework..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Thanks for the confirmation Zaphod.

Seriously...I'm about 95% there (for now anyways). Lots of weekend putzing, installing/un-installing, reflashing, wiping...

Get it setup and this doesn't work. Start over...fix that issue and end up with another issue...

Like sands through the hourglass....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Just got done working on it AGAIN.

WiFi calling is now working and apps are restoring.

I did have a couple of issues with the WiFi losing connection again today but I'm crossing my fingers that those were somehow related to the WiFi calling not working and maybe the install not being complete. Seriously, if I start running into that issue with the WiFi losing connectivity I'm going to be at a total flippin' loss. It'll likely either resort to a warranty exchange for a new one or ditching the S6 altogether.

Anyone know how the WiFi component works? Is there an internal antennae or something? I got wondering...The phone is in excellent condition and I've only dropped it a few times from about waist height (nothing major). It's got a tech21 case on it and hasn't incurred any damage. Is it possible that a minor drop could screw up the innards and subsequently the WiFi component??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stangdriver44:
I'm trying to confirm the possibility of downgrading via a full Odin 5.1.1 flash is possible after you have updated to 6.0.1?

I have already begun my OZOP MM build, but being that it will be a good month before I even have anything close to what my OZOP v14 LP rom has, it would help if I could build/test, then when I'm done for a couple of days, Odin back to LP and restore a backup worth ask my mods working on LP?

If it's possible and multiple users can confirm this, I can post a couple of mini update/downgrade Odin files that will make going back and forth easy as restoring a Nandroid!

I have already received one confirmation, just one or even better 2 more and I will start testing my MM build.

So far I have already

*extracted system img from Samsung G925TUVU3EPD1_G925TTMB3EPD1_G925TUVU3EPD1_HOME.tar for Edge based build

*Deodexed the complete system

*Added the new files to the proper folders in my Aroma for the "Bare Bones" essentials only with bloat builder add/removed options

*added options to add/remove ANY bloat app ANY time

*Hide/show toggle for stock or 3minit battery mod

*Stock battery percentage color OTF

*Enabled Low battery Camera usage

*Disabled Low battery camera warning

*USB Plug/Unplug disable wake up

*Default Window Animation Scales to 0.5

*Remove high volume warning for headphones

*Advance Power Menu

*Disable Signature Check

*Allow installing older versions apps over newer

So now I either need a tester that is running a deodexed MM rom or I am just going to hold off until I can test myself!!

So anyone who has successfully updated to MM 6.0.1 and then downgraded back to LP 5.1.1 and restored or installed a 5.1.1 rom please let me know.

Thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Iacon:
Oh yea, I didn't have any issues going back and forth between MM and LP with Odin. I'd be happy to test for you. I get back in town Friday night, and can start then. I've made it a rule not to flash while traveling. Its left me high and dry before lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] General_Mayhem:
Same here. The S6 is my last Samsung phone. I'll definitely be switching to a Nexus phone due to the delays with updates.

I have a Samsung Gear S2 watch too, but am willing to hack that to make it work with a Nexus if I have to. Or ditch it and get something with Android Wear.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stangdriver44:
Sorry, I've already hit my 8 thanks a day limit. Will catch you up later.

Since judging by your post count your relatively new, if you didn't know, it shows you valued a user post/mod/rom or theme by hitting the small "thanks" button on the bottom left side of the post. That I'm sure you probably knew or got the understanding pretty quick, what your might now know is we are all allowed ONLY 8 thanks per 24 hour period! That's why I'm saying I'll catch you up later, I hit my limit.

I appreciate the quick response and and very happy to hear from multiple users now, that the possibility of running and keeping my highly modded and customizable Rom for LP as a backup, then flash to MM and do my building/modding/theming for as long as I can handle, then Odin back to LP and restore my backup.

Totally agree about trying something new and being away from home! I think we've all probably made that stupid mistake! Lol.

I am going to get setup to update and hopefully the mods and Rom base I already have will Test ok.

I'm always willing to have a new tester come on board as long as they know it's testing and some bugs may appear, (if you've followed my work, you know I don't even put out a tester until I've put it through the works and can't find a bug)

That being said, let's try to keep this thread on topic and please ask that you refer any questions about testing my work to any of my threads, probably the OZOP Main thread would be best.

With the new confirmation about being able to flashback to LP from MM.

What I will do is create a minibootloader Odin flashable file that is small and quick to use.

I will post instructions and link later today.

Basically you will need to

*create a Nandroid backup of both your systems and have the Version of TWRP matched to your backup (you cannot restore and backup made from different versions of twrp)

*take the full Odin to MM to prepare phone file system.

*flash the minibootloader zip I will share

*flash the twrp version you have been using

*after the process is complete, reboot, this is the tricky part, when the screen goes black to reboot, hurry and use the boot to recovery button combo (hold power+home+vol up) and this will take you to twrp where you can simply restore you Nandroid and be up and running either MM or LP in a matter of minutes.

It really is easier than the instructions sounds.

Watch. Give me a few hours to get my update finished and I'll post results.

Thanks for the info and letting me ramble on here. Sorry OP if this is OT!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
While the customizations is being hashed out for MM, if anyone finds a workable gradient bar can you post a link? I miss my gradient status bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stangdriver44:
I use my own statusbar BG mod, but have you tried this?

claims to be working for 6.0.1, but i can't confirm.

Just about to go MM right now.

good luck

Just FYI the official XAR 6.0.1 firmware for the factory unlocked G920T is out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] bouloss:
does this firmware have wifi calling for t-mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
Well I don't live in the United States so I can't test that out for you. But there is a Wi-Fi calling toggle in the notification centre. Also, in the past (5.1.1), the XAR model was confirmed to work with T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling. Thus it's very likely that it is still supported in Marshmallow (but you'll have to test that out yourself!)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] D4V3Y:
I'm sorry if this question has been answered before but I have tried looking it up and couldn't find one solid answer but how do install twrp and root 6.0.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Use ODIN to Flash "twrp-3.0.2-1-zeroflte.tar.md5"

Once TWRP is installed, boot to recovery and flash SuperSU BETA-SuperSU-v2.71..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PanchoPlanet:
Duhh! S7! Edge. ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
The S7 won't be that much of a performance boost, not worth the money just yet..

You need to find the sweet spot between price and performance.. If your upgrading just for the OS upgrade.. Your bonkers..

CM13 is already available...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jmwils3:
How did you get cm13 working on a tmobile s6? Because according to the page on the unified development side, it only supports international s6/edge, and others require fixes and a custom kernel that I can't seem to find for aosp roms on the tmobile s6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] benjmiester:
It works... technically. I was running it for a day just for kicks on my G920T. BUT, and this is a huge kardashian-BUT.... There is no data signal support, so it's not usable for us yet in that important respect. At least not until MM officialy comes out for us so they can get the sources/bootloader/modem radios. A few other things don't work as per every other variant's CM13. The latest 12-21 build does NOT work on flat (non-edge) models though. So if you want to try it, you have to flash only the second-newest build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] :
Yeah, I just hope that they when they do drop the sources, that there will be more builds coming from the cm13 thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] slaz13:
I had CM13 installed and was able to get data to work on the G920T. I just had to fix the APN settings then enable/disable airplane mode and was able to get 4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] benjmiester:
Cool, now I want to reflash it lol. I could swear I tried that but maybe the airplane mode toggle does the trick. Did it work reasonably well as a DD for you then? Aside from no camera of course.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] slaz13:
I didnt have it installed very long. I need to have the camera working. I could never use it as a daily driver the way it is now. It still is impressive they were able to get it up and running though on our phones.

Don't trust the tmobile software website. The LG G4 is getting M today and the site shows manufacturer development
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] PanchoPlanet:
I'm going for quality and style, Samsung has a proven track record in my book.

I don't know about you or others but I want my "phone" to work like a phone when ever I have to use it.

I shouldn't have to reboot, toggle airplane mode or trick my device into thinking it's something else in order to run some half baked system or firmware just to be different.

I don't have all day to tinker with my phone just to make a call or send a message, I like all the features the phone has and the service tmobile offers.

For tinkering I'll get an electronics kit ala radio shack and tinker away, or a nexus 6.

Back in the old days you could root and improve your phones without any bad consequences, but not with this new breed of phones, you just windup with an unusable shiny and expensive paperweight.

Maybe I have outgrown the phone tinkering stage, pure stock ( debloated of course ) works for me "every time" especially when I need to use the phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
You sound like a hipster.. Always whining about not having the VERY Latest OS, and latest tech..

Nice to know you can afford that kind of thing.. Personally I think its foolish on the simple fact that upgrading very 6 months and spending 700+ dollars on a device that is simply a circuit board, a battery, some metal and a glass finish.. The S7 isn't going to be that much of an upgrade, they are working from Apple's school of thought.. So if you can afford 700-800 dollars+ for a slight upgrade because your inpatient.. Well then alright..

What who buys a phone? T-Mobile jump is great for that simple fact. If the s6 dosent get mm by the time the s7 is launched (I really don't think we will get it before) or if mm dosent fix ram and battery for the s6 I'm jumping to the s7 (judging by reviews) or to a different company.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I can't speak for everyone here but myself.. I get at least 12 good hours of average use.. Thats everything from heavy bluetooth headphone use, always connected to my Smart Watch.. and as long as I'm in a strong signal area my phone pretty much lasts me all day..

With that being said, I'm running a custom built, mostly stock debloated [TW] LP ROM.. I uninstalled FB and Messenger because they were some really heavy hitters on my battery.. I'm not saying it's perfect, but who is to say they next model will have similar issues do to the same issue of not being able to replace the battery? I really like my GS6 128 gig, and I am a VERY harsh critic.. I almost past on it for the Nexus 6P, but I saw the 128 Gig Model and it blew me away..

I really should of got a Galaxy Note 5, but I already have 2 tablets and no need for a phablet.. I have Marshmallow/CM13.1 on my GS4 and GS3, both are not impressing me... I do like the TW interface and they are making amazing progress.. But MM really isn't that big of an update unless your looking for the TW goodness, and I'm really happy with Lollipop.. This is coming from a Recovering Flashaholic... My GS6 has one of the best Cellphone Cameras I have ever used, and the 128 gigs of space allows me to use a good portion of my personal music library so I'm not stuck using Spotify, or Pandora for streaming services which cost me data.. I rarely go over 250 meg per month despite having frees streaming with Binge on.. My phone originally got really bad battery life until I debloated it, and saw all those stupid apps that run no matter if you use them or not.. All gone now.. Battery life is great, not stellar.. But good enough for me to use all day.. on long days where I know I won't be home.. I have a battery cradle that I chunk my phone into for a quick charge and I'm back in business... I'm also on the Jump Program and has my GS6 for maybe 5 months and I have already paid off my phone.. I pay an additional 20 dollars on top of the 25 dollars per month T-Mobile Charges me, and also on top of the added amount on Jump.. I hate having a phone that is NOT Mine ya know.. SO they are screaming for me to upgrade already.. I really like my GS6.. I'm sticking with it until I see a significant improvement in the GS8 maybe.. or get a 128 Gig Nexus device.. Where I will never have to worry about updates for at least 2-3 years.. My Nexus 7 2013 still gets updates to this day.. If those who want a new device, go for it... I'll stick to my own personal preferences..
