The Beta finishes very soon. Is the battery life (both standby and SOT) better on 6.0.1 than on 5.1.1.? That's the real question. I see extremely mixed reports.
[Galaxy S6 General] pencilcase:
My Android is at around 30% .. any suggestions on how to get it down?

Wipe something ?

I don't really want to redo all my settings etc :(
[Galaxy S6 General] thegtfusion:
for me it was worse. the battery life on the first beta build was better than the current version. I left my phone last night at 74%, when i woke up after 9 hours it dropped 7%. unacceptable, but yes it is a beta. I hope it is fixed in the final M build.
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Worse.
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Flashed this this morning.

First impressions are wow. Feels a lot better than lollipop. Not commenting on battery life until 3-4 days in and app optimisation has started.

Looks promising though
[Galaxy S6 General] kiko3:
For me battery is better
[Galaxy S6 General] ssking:
6.0.1 baterry is much better than 6.0 but People edge consumes high percentage of baterry. Even tried to disable edge panel and I still have this bug.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Definitely worst, i made my tests and its worst.

No matter what i test is always less 1h 1h.3 sot than lollipop.
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Got the dreaded AndroidOS wakelock. However, i was using the flashable zip.

Im pretty sure i registered for the BETA Participation when it first came out. In the process of backing up and wiping with ODIN . MM impressed me with what i saw for the few hours this morning!

Edit. I registered for the BETAwhen i was on Xsterolite which used the COI9 Base. Seems to have worked. 1.2GB update downloading :)

Did people here do a full wipe after installing the MM update? i've tried searching but the search function seems to be broken!
[Galaxy S6 General] thegtfusion:
yes, it is recommended to perform a factory reset after installing the update. it's as clean as it gets.
[Galaxy S6 General] henklbr:
Why asking the same question twice (4 messages earlier!)?

How must we know that? Ask Samsung Korea: maybe they'll tell you!
[Galaxy S6 General] S10e:
Installed the 6.0.1 update over the 6.0 one but the private mode toggle still isn't there. It wont be easy for me to factory reset after every update since this phone is the one I use on a daily basis, all the time. Is there an alternative on how to bring it back?
[Galaxy S6 General] headhood:
The battery is medium but the deep sleep is much better
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
What's the security patch level in 6.0.1? Is it December or updated to January? ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
Deep sleep is much better but in my case i saw i lot drain in usage
[Galaxy S6 General] 118:
It's updated to january.

[Galaxy S6 General] bigbamboo5:
If I'm going to do a factory reset on my Galaxy S6 because my battery life is now terrible, how easy is it for me to get everything back as it was afterwards, assuming I've hit 'backup' on the phone? Or would you suggest waiting for the final 6.01, which I'm guessing will come next week? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Someone has the same issue , had 10% drop to 4% and amazing now im writing and goes from 4% to 5% ?
[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:
Keep calm man
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
I hope that in the official release battery is better. If not i will sell the s6 and buy a note 5 maybe..
[Galaxy S6 General] headhood:
Stop lying your self

They are thinking about your eyes
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
What do you mean bro? Ahah :)
[Galaxy S6 General] pencilcase:
as far as I know, no. It's back in the settings menu, but not as a quick-toggle. I have already raised this as a bug.
[Galaxy S6 General] S10e:
First bullet.
[Galaxy S6 General] xdamami:
I have every day this bug. Really strange bug.
[Galaxy S6 General] Bart3n:
Yes it's back. Just factory reset your phone
[Galaxy S6 General] isaak.lee05:
When was the exact end of the beta phase? I think it was around the end of january but I'm not sure about the exact date.
[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:
It will end tomorrow 18 January!
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
My update M is gone.

I return to 5.1.1 to make another test and i have to wait, don't udate anymore. ?
[Galaxy S6 General] dherre65:
Did you wipe data before installing this update?
[Galaxy S6 General] xdamami:
Nope mate I'm reinstalled all my rom for get second update, because i was rooted my device.
[Galaxy S6 General] dherre65:
Well battery statistics sometimes fail to display correct information if you come from another Android version and didn't wipe data. Maybe that could be causing it.
[Galaxy S6 General] pencilcase:
good to know, thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] xdamami:
I will try wipe all my rom.
[Galaxy S6 General] stoneyfordni:
I wonder will be get an update to the final version of 6.0.1 tomorrow ?
[Galaxy S6 General] AlexisXDA:
No

I think February to fix all problems of 6.0.1

[Galaxy S6 General] isaak.lee05:
Hey guys, I would highly appreciate if you could copy the text and send it to samsung with the beta app if you agree to my views on the update topic. I think it's really about time samsung improves the backup and software update function. Thank you very much in advance

Please improve the Software Update section in the settings. In every major Android Update like lollipop -> marshmallow, the phone needs a full wipe (Wipe data/Factory Reset) in order to work properly and without bugs. The way Samsung provides Updates is basically wrong and causes a lot of problems, bugs and slowdowns on the phone. Samsung doesn't say that a full wipe is needed and a casual user just dirty flashes a Software Update. And because of Slowdowns, Lags, Stutters and Bugs people have a wrong picture of Samsung and Android. They think that Android phones are normally buggy and slow and that is one of the main reasons former casual Android users switched to iPhones. Please do not do the same mistake all over again and improve the Software Update section and force people to full wipe all of their data in every major update. But if you do that, also provide a backup option where we can backup every app with the app data and pictures and music on the phones memory.
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
I think we are all wondering that :)
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
The beta expires January 18, 2015 ,

Samsung has noted in its target that by the end of the beta version of the final will be offered !

SamMobile had indicated several weeks before the final version will be available in January.

I think and I hope that tomorrow we will be served :)
[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:
I hope that sammy will update edge+ and note 5 this week cause i saw an edge+ running marshmallow ar Ces
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
Really ? it's good to know has , I hope that tomorrow we will be more !
[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:
https://youtu.be/njQLqz2sjFo from 2:48 if you watch closely to the edge+ you can see it runs marshmallow
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
Yes yes !!! Good news ! I hope for my S6 and for s6 / edge / + / Note 5
[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:
Hehehe i hope too man ?
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
If final is released tomorrow you will no longer be able to downgrade . So I hope they sort problems
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
What is certain is that samsung build for version 2 beta had a week earlier a deployment !

Samsung with the first beta had done a good job the second update was very good, set apart some bug and battery we were on a final version !

With every report , I think it stinks have corrected the max !
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
I can't see it being tomorrow if I'm honest.

Saying that. The Beta/feedback app wouldn't work earlier. Just wouldn't open or anything.
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
I agree for me battery life is brilliant nearly 4 hrs SOT and 50% battery life . The only little bug I got is sometimes I don't get notification sound straight away. I'm really happy with second beta the first beta I could hardly get 2.5 hrs SOT
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
It's already tomorrow in New Zealand and no update (yet). In saying that i have the 920i version so it could be months for me.....
[Galaxy S6 General] superleeds27:
Would never be done according to NZ time...:eek:
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
This is very true, but NZ time vs Korean time is only 4 or 5 hours, so it is already tomorrow in Korea too :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Darktitor:
You should wait UK time as the beta target was UK users

OT:

If Samsung is going to drop Marsh this week, it'll be a yay week! I'm saying Marsh, The Flash, Green Arrow, Supergirl. xD
[Galaxy S6 General] AaronW95:
Praying my battery life is better in the final build or I may sell my S6. I'm getting 2.5hrs SOT that's with reinstalling the ROM and clearing cache and restoring. I can barely last a day. Most bloat ware is disabled. Background data - disabled. Can't bare this battery life anymore if I'm honest. Hopefully battery will improve.
[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:

Haha except that it depends on :) england,

It is only 7:22 am in england

Samsung and published (if this reference to the launch of the beta and 2nd version ) in late afternoon
[Galaxy S6 General] Bart3n:
The notices are changed..
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
The instuction are always the same : " End of 18 beta , final version proposed at the end of the beta .."

She just has evolved graphically with TouchWizz
[Galaxy S6 General] DO97:
Are you still in beta or back to 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Im on 5.1.1 again, and stuck with it.

and what i notice is i think the optimisation of the apps im M is not working perfectly maybe is that is draining the battery.

Facebook in M was always pumping, never closed.

And with lollipop i close it and keep closed. Only when i open or get a message from messenger, Facebook unlocks.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
So, basically, you got an update and then it brought you back to Lollipop?
[Galaxy S6 General] thegtfusion:
I noticed the same. Even with greenify and app optimization disabled, fb and fb messenger wouldn't stay closed on M. Uninstalled both and using folio for Facebook now. The battery life has dramatically improved. I also noticed less lag so the performance has increased...
[Galaxy S6 General] hauhauhau7:
yep,but it doesn't say that the official MM will be released after the beta closes, they need time to squash out the bugs, anyway it's said to be released by the end of the month :)
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
No he not tell here , but once the beta installed via Samsung are beta application for the post had 12 rules.

You know even one was : " do not you will publish a photo online "

said one of his rule : At the end of beta programe that happening? The official version would be launched and you will have a message for the update !

I think tonight to 18h (UK) we will have some news!

[Galaxy S6 General] bigbamboo5:
Smart Switch is for downgrading back to Lollipop, should you wish to do that. Reading the notice, there is no indication whatsoever that at 2400 the Marshmallow update will be available. In fact, as they say it will take 'approximately 24 hours for the downgrade to Lollipop to take effect', I don't think we'll be seeing Marshmallow for a while. Relax.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
So, it is either stay in beta or move back to lollipop after today.. This makes me wonder wen ll we receive the official release..[emoji15]
[Galaxy S6 General] AlexisXDA:
Do you think that official marshmallow is better than Marshmallow beta?

Inviato dal mio SM-G920F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
That's message says beta will end today and we will send message upon official release . So no chance of official release today
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
I do not get too .... The beta ends today and the official rollout is tomorrow? MM?

Because frankly, if Samsung has actually passed 5.1.1 6.0.1 User this is serious! For example: apple never during its beta is demoted, even windows, even everyone? the goal is to not evolved back into the past?
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
No the first time i went to 5.1.1, i get automatically the M again. , now i went back again to test the battery and don't update anymore, stuck on 5.1.1.

You can go back. , just flash it with odin, you will stuck in reboot, but you go to recovery and wipe cache and factory reset and reboot fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] stoneyfordni:
Don't forget the final release will need carrier certification which will take time.

The Beta software will still work after today, just the feedback etc will be ignored
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
I can not find normal return in the past month .... Sorry but we're going forward!
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
That's a great point. Personally I think February at the earliest. But to be honest is 6.0.1 really any different to 5.1.1 apart from a few emoji and different notification panel colour. MM is ñot that different so I can't see what the big deal is personally.
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
There is not much things different ,but are some improvements , and new settings.

Less the battery. Hope they stabilise the M like lollipop.

After one month with M , i miss some options.

But 5.1.1 is very stable , and good battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] Riardon:
If battery life is worse in the final Marshmallow they can keep it. No rush for something that is worse. Though I don't really want to believe that this will be the case in the final version.
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
I agree but there are a lot of custom roms that will always be better than official releases . So if 6.0.1 was giving me any problems and would go back to 5.1.1 and be happy but luckily 6.0.1 is fine for me
[Galaxy S6 General] mohitgalaxy3:
I also got the same message.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
That's what I found over at Note 5 forum

You will have to reroot your phone to fix deepsleep but because you already tripped knox there is no problem with this ^^
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Well, if that's the case, waiting for MM will be worth it. :) Although, sad panda is Sad. xD

Mine is odd, inasmuch as it isn't consistent. This morning, for instance, it 'only' dropped 25% up to 1pm with a little light texting and some emails and then it lost 30% in two hours for no apparent reason. It's the lack of consistency which has me worried... :eek:

[Galaxy S6 General] bigbamboo5:
I would do that but 1) I'm thinking it might be better to wait for the official release and 2) I've not done it before and it has taken me an age to set up folders and suchlike exactly as I would want them and am worried about having to redo everything. How difficult is it to replicate everything after a factory reset?

Hello from Princes av mate :D
[Galaxy S6 General] bigbamboo5:
That's my worry. So I'm doing that thing where I wait for the official update and keep everything crossed that it'll solve my battery problem without needing more than a cache partition wipe, which is easy. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
You can sync your apps Google account , your data with your Samsung account, or dropbox , or like i do otg pen drive , one at home and another in my car.

Photos goes to dropbox and the rest in the accounts.

In one hour i put everything loke it was.

And i already did around 6 factory resets and doesn't solve the problem in the battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] bigbamboo5:
Right, then. I'm going to wait for the official 6.01 and hope it does the trick! :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Makkos26:
HTC M8 will get Marshmallow in 48 hours and M9 will get it after that shortly. (according to the company’s official UK Twitter account)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Samsung quicker in the past than HTC or LG?
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
Do not lie , Samsung messed up .... It is not a pase 5.1.1 beta has a minimum we advance it offers a version 3 ? but not back ...
[Galaxy S6 General] theclaytons:
Even on lollipop the latest facebook and fb messenger had massive keep awake times. i uninstalled and went back to older versions (thanks apkmirror) and it battery life returned to normal.
[Galaxy S6 General] sofir786:
What are you trying to say? I don't understand
[Galaxy S6 General] rogoul:
Facebook app is definitely a battery killer. I changed it and now everything is fine for me. After 8 hours at work( I'm working at a pharmacy and because of flaming materials and special drugs it's like a bunker) on poor 3g/4g signal I have 60% battery left when I get home. I'm not a heavy user but 2.5 SOT costing me half battery is fine for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] dherre65:
The new Facebook and Messenger app have a wakelock which has something to do with the internal bugreporter. You can disable or temper it with Amplify or another tool, that will increase your battery life drastically.

Sorry for my bad english , I'm french and I learned that the base ....

I try to say that when we launched a beta version makes it evolved and not go back! IOS beta 9 , at the end there are 9 Final IOS has passed , like for windows , similar to google android!

Samsung has really abused on the spot was marked black and white in their recomendation : at the end of the beta set a final date would be proposed ...

It's a shame on their part, we will see the end of January in February ....

The S5 was already a lollipop in December , and we are two months late compared to last year!
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
About Facebook, messenger instagram and whatup, some people may not know but i know the fw from BTU and XEU can optimise these apps, other countries like mine don't, and it's why i already use BTU a few months, let's see if they dont make that mistake on M.
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
I knew her ! But anyway it's useless ...

Facebook and their application are poorly made that's it!

The iPhone 5, my girlfriend has a facebook much prettier , more complete, and is ultra fluid compared to mine in S6 .....

But then the revolution begins , many people started to take alternativ and moves, Google changed its policy for Fb !
[Galaxy S6 General] ciprianruse88:
I finally have flat line battery after suffering from huge battery drain! The recipe is package disabller app (disable bloat including smart manager), install greenify, unistalled Facebook and Messenger (I use Folio instead) and that's it :)

I attached screenshots from the time when I went to bed till now when I woke up. As I said... straight line :)
[Galaxy S6 General] muniz_ri:
I just downloaded the latest Facebook lite apk to see if that makes any difference in battery usage. Seems snappier. We'll see...

If you disable smart manager you will disable apps optimisation too.

In M i don't try that but in lollipop, i disable it and battery disappeared.

But you say it works with greennify good.
