Found a bug if you wake the device with proximity sensor covered on it goes to sleep instantly.
[Galaxy S6 General] swa100:
Just found that one too

Edit: still nobody knows what will happen after the end of the program on the 18th? Scared as hell that we will get an ota back to 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
nothing will happen.. I think by that time there will be official 6.0 release :)
[Galaxy S6 General] swa100:
I really hope that. After this superfast build I can not go back to 5.1.1, I really don't.

Looking at fingerprint speed..i think i should stop waking phone up by pressing home button to see only notifications..

Its so freaking fast..
[Galaxy S6 General] Hady17:
Battery life worse after the update . Getting like 8 hours even after disabling apps with package disabler and disabling google now and sync off

Nobody has a problem with the dialer? For me, after an upgrade or after 3 hours following a factory reset, I have a permanent crash of dialer.
[Galaxy S6 General] Garner:
Has anyone else had an update to 6.0.1 like above?
[Galaxy S6 General] garret1976:
So far no big issues. Runs way better than lollipop.

Smoother scrolling.

Nice color scheme

Fast fingerprint with alternative pin code.

Better memory management but still not great.

Recent apps is different but easier to select app.

One bug in S browser is with the hamburger menu or selection buttons which doesn't show all content to choose from
[Galaxy S6 General] henklbr:
O no: are we getting these questions now overhere?

First of all: if you look at the kernel/build-info, you can see this is NOT an European model!

Second: it's very easy, if you phone is rooted, to modify the build.prop and the version info!
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
6.0.1 ???? Is a realy??? Ummm

Day 18 is update posible .

[Galaxy S6 General] isaak.lee05:
Thats true but maybe its a south korean model and they got the update earlier. But thats not very likely imo
[Galaxy S6 General] Plinky89:
Honestly... I hope in a new OTA. This MM beta just need a battery drain fix to be raccomanded as a daily rom for everyone else.

My S6 has gone from "one of the worst Android experiences" to the "best Android experience".

For the first time I'm in love with this device.
[Galaxy S6 General] isaak.lee05:
Maybe they clocked up the cpus or just put more weight on them and that causes the heavy battery drain but leads to a super smooth android experience all over the os. Its like an iPhone. Great performance but the battery takes a huge hit from that
[Galaxy S6 General] Garner:
Just looked more into it, the baseband is G925W8... which I'm sure is for the Canadian model not south korean so I'm calling FAKE

I have a much greater battery life after the upgrade, and a surprisingly smooth UI experience. Especially the fingerprint unlock is rocket fast. I had no doubt MM would have brought a significant improvement, after I experienced it on both my Nexus 5 and 9.

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Thank you for the enlightening explanation. A forum doesn't mean everyone can just say the first useless thing that comes into their mind without any support or evidence.

I have a much greater battery life after the upgrade, and a surprisingly smooth UI experience. Especially the fingerprint unlock is rocket fast. I had no doubt MM would have brought a significant improvement, after I experienced it on both my Nexus 5 and 9.
[Galaxy S6 General] isaak.lee05:
Do you have the same exact apps installed and have you put them on both system on optimazation mode? Are all of your authorizations on and did you consider a full wipe after 5.0.2 -> 5.1.1 update? There are far more variables to consider when purely testing the battery life. Your usage must be the exact same either. I have MM for couple of days now and I did a full brightness always screen on battery life test and the battery gets lower in a smaller amount of time but i have to admit that the diffrence isn't huge. It was around 20minutes.

And what I said there wasnt any kind of attempt of explanation. It was a thesis not a statement. See the "maybe" on my beggining sentence? Thats just me creating a thesis of why the battery life may has gotten worse for many other people on this forum including me even after a correct install with a full wipe. Its a thesis which considers the imense performance boost and smoothness combined with the worse battery life in most cases which leads to this thesis for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] MysteriousDiary:
The shutter speed settings works perfectly fine for me .. .it's always using the shutter speed I select. But once you decide to use the manual shutter it goes to full manual mode so you also have to adjust the ISO manually ... auto ISO is disabled when you change the shutter.

I've send a feature request to make the auto iso usable while shooting with manual shutter. I can see why they decided to do this (because the ISO range is limited) but it would still be great to have at least the option for light situations where it works.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mekrel:
I've had the update for over two days now and so far the update has brought nothing but improvements. I'm not experiencing any lags or force closes other people are posting about. I know most speed improvements are placebo, but 6.0 on the S6 really is smoother than 5.1.1. Google Play Newsstand has lots of transition animations and on 5.1.1, those animations were not smooth but on 6.0 they're butter smooth.

The updated TW interface is nicer, I'm glad they've moved away from the gingerbread-esque lime green on a dark background colour scheme.

I've only experienced two issues:

1) My car needed permission again to sync contact info over Bluetooth. Not an issue in itself but despite allowing the request, my contacts wouldn't sync. Unpairing the connection between the two on both the phone and car, then repairing, made things work again.

2) The slow copy/paste overlay is slow to appear as reported above.
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
Guys.. Just a suggestion.. To test the speed of fingerprint sensor, just add all the four fingerprints.. Pls confirm, whether the performance is same as earlier..
[Galaxy S6 General] bregan90:
Sume 'bugs' I encountered in a half day of Marshmallow usage:

Third party camera apps only report a maximum of 8MP for rear camera, and quality is much worse than on Lollipop (Maybe Camera2 API have something to say)

Samsung Keyboard laggy as hell.
[Galaxy S6 General] headhood:
Actually my battery seems to be ok..got an update about 6 hours ago than the battery was around 60%.. now my SOT is 2.5 hours and the battery 20%..

So i lost 40% of battery for 2.5 SOT and first configuration and restoring apps..
[Galaxy S6 General] Pratz852:
Running apps are now in developer options..
[Galaxy S6 General] tiborprogmed:
ok, confirmed, shutter is good, I was wrong.

but gaming experience is BAD. sound and video stream is not in sync, lagging : eg.: real racing 3. ( New antutu work fine....it looks like some games/app have to be updated to 6.0 compatibility)
[Galaxy S6 General] isaak.lee05:
I added 4 fingers and it was really just a little bit slower but even then it was faster than the 5.1.1 fingerprint scanner with only 1 fingerprint.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Guys my battery life is extremely bad on mm... I got 3 hours of sot with 10% brightness, gps, bluetooth and sync off and really light usage, even after a wipe... what the hell is happening?

[Galaxy S6 General] pogi.paul0119:
Did you turn on the app optimization..
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
ITS BETA thats whats happening... ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] nadejo:
Do we really need to go back to 5.1.1 when this beta ends? I think they mean in case you want to cancel the beta. And in that case Samsung services won't work because you leave the beta and should not affect the beta bug report. I don't think they can force us to downgrade nor stop services anytime.
[Galaxy S6 General] bregan90:
Even while being a BETA, some functionality is expected. Keep in mind this ROM have to be released on 18 January . Given that they probably won't update this beta in that short time, this is more like a Release Candidate, so I expect little to no critical bugs.
[Galaxy S6 General] RychJ:
No, will be OTA update on Stable M6
[Galaxy S6 General] ciprianruse88:
After getting M OTA I did a factory reset from recovery and everything seems OK for a Beta build. They need to fix the gaming problem, the phone getting hotter problem, the battery drain and the volume expand button disappearing problem. For now it can be used as a daily driver.
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Do people really no what beta tester means. You are going to get problems that's what your testing for problems so they can be fixed before official release
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
so you are a developer.. you know how fast can people fix critical bugs... anyway what do YOU expect is entirely in your head... samsung is not bound by it and i bet they have some pretty good devs in there and it will be fixed... as it always is :)
[Galaxy S6 General] rajackar:
I had this too. But it only happens when I use smart switch to restore stuff. Did factory reset and no smart switch the last time and all is fine now.

[Galaxy S6 General] bregan90:
Yeah, it will have bugs and sure they will fix. But they have no feedback for the fixes, as this is probably the last and only public beta before official release. I see this as "Ok, we have the update ready, but let's release this to a few devices to be sure it doesn't explode in our faces when we release this in one month".

[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Now i really get surprised with this fuc¤¤¤ing update

First day after hard reset i use the touchwiz, to see how was the battery, seems like lollipop.

BUT DAMM when i put the back up of the nova launcher that i had on lollipop and disabled touchwiz , BRUTAL FAST, never see nothing like this.

AND ANOTHER THING IF YOU TRY WITH POWER SAVING MODE FINGER PRINT SENSOR IS MORE FAST BECAUSE DOEST HAD VIBRATION.

TRY IT AND POST HERE WHAT YOU THINK.
[Galaxy S6 General] xdamami:
With power saving mode your animations switching off because of this you feel it fast. Go develepor option and set off animations and see results.

Always put all the phones in 0.5.

But nova launcher from lolipop i had its makes a lot of different.

For now wiil stay like this and test the battery with nova launcher.

For all the people that rooted their 6.0 beta and are having deep sleep issues. Here is what I did to somewhat resolve the issue.

From your pc:

adb shell

su

chmod 0700 /su/su.d

echo "#!/tmp-mksh/tmp-mksh" > /su/su.d/000000deepsleep

echo "echo 'temporary none' > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0:0:0:1/cache_type" >> /su/su.d/000000deepsleep

echo "echo 'temporary none' > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0:0:0:2/cache_type" >> /su/su.d/000000deepsleep

chmod 0700 /su/su.d/000000deepsleep

reboot

I can now see deep sleep is kicking in when I open betterbatterystats app.

I hope this helps. It's an old 5.1.1 supersu deep sleep fix.
[Galaxy S6 General] Atntpt:
it gives me error in this command : echo “echo ‘temporary none’ > /sys/class/scsi_disk/0:0:0:1/cache_type” >> /su/su.d/000000deepsleep (cant create,no such file or directory)
[Galaxy S6 General] tiborprogmed:

[Galaxy S6 General] Atntpt:

[Galaxy S6 General] Rebel25:
check that the file shows both lines and also remember this is android 6.0 you need to leave the phone alone on a table as dose will detect it is moving and not let it go into deep sleep.
[Galaxy S6 General] deepsrd:
The way LTE is designed currently is that if you have active data on 3G or Edge, it will not move to LTE.

It usually needs a minute of non-active data to move to LTE.

Then again, the transition is dependant on how radio is configured.
[Galaxy S6 General] Rebel25:
please try this chmod 0700 /su/su.d/000000deepsleep . I made a typo in the command
[Galaxy S6 General] Atntpt:
If those are the lines yes ...

At least I see two "Battery Optimizations". One is in the Smart Manager and other is in the overflow menu, while in the Battery Stats screen. I've thought the second was Doze, as that were the same settings that appeared on my Nexus 5 with Marshmallow.

Guys: 'Optimization Apps' is Doze with another name.

P.S. I dirty flashed Android 6. The battery and the performance were not good at all for me, i did tree hours of SoT and my phone lags often. I did a wipe cache and factory reset, i lost every single contact, music, photos and video. After the wipe Marshmallow + Nova Launcher was a perfect combo for speed... and trust me is much more efficient and faster than lollipop.

First cicle:

Lollipop (5.0.2)= 4 hours of SoT 16 hours of total use.

Lollipop (5.1.1)= 3.30 SOT ON STOCK, 4 HOURS SOT WITH XTREXTOLITE.

Marshmallow= 3.55 Hours of SoT on the first cicle with 16 hours of total use.

Unfortunately, I can't post screenshots because I lost them. :(
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
After hard reset only problem was when reboot some widgets apps were gone , now wipe cache partition always 2 times, and reboot widgets don't disappear. Perfect for now.

The problem is standby for now.

And like i said in other thread, please explain sot. People don't know your usage.

My first charge with M only wifi i do 6h in 25h , 4h to 5h i do with 5.1.1 always 4G on all day. And no root.

Or you have 100% brightness or no signal. On low brightness good signal and wifi i bet you do around 6h with M

4h i do with S3 easily with custom rom.??
