Can anyone help. Haven't installed any new apps but seems doze mode is causing an issue. If I leave the phone alone say over night Android OS kills the battery from 100% to around 77% Have tested this on a numerous of occasions and it's the same problem on the new MM update.
[Galaxy S6 General] ciprianruse88:
I found out the solution. Rotate the phone into landscape mode, press one of the volume buttons and it will come back.

How to use smart capture.. anybody? Thanks
[Galaxy S6 General] hare89:
I had similiar problem with android os ...it was causing battery drain cause stay wake was on for 15hrs...restart did help :D
[Galaxy S6 General] bregan90:
+1 The multitasking view is a bit wierd, and apps slide very quickly. Also, apps remain in memory so much longer, I'm very impressed with the multitasking performance of M.
[Galaxy S6 General] NoteLove:
Cheers buddy. Have reported to Samsung as it's been 3 nights in a row. Was ok at first. Did try this. Have now disabled Wifi on while asleep even though I do turn off anyway.

I'll see how it goes as bar that is a great update for the S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] garret1976:
No issues with battery drain. 4hr SOT in a day and only a drop of 2% over a night.

I must admit I optimised most apps except Whatsapp. Only wifi or 4G. No GPS, BT or NFC enabled.
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
except the BTU firmware nothing... you are good to go :)
[Galaxy S6 General] khani47:
i went from Vodafone UK to BTU,

literally just tried the skysports app (provided by Vodafone) and now it says ''Not supported'' - the device you are using is not supported currently by sky sports mobile TV''
[Galaxy S6 General] swa100:
Does anyone if the full app data backup feature from android M works fully in this beta?
[Galaxy S6 General] seven25131222:
Welcome whether the new beta Samsung implemented a VDIS of note 5 ???
[Galaxy S6 General] Mekrel:
It does, but it seems rather limited in terms of which apps are actually being backed up.

If you go to Google Drive - > Settings - > Manage backups, you'll see which has apps have been backed up to Google Drive.

I'm not sure why there aren't many as I read that developers don't have to opt their apps into being backed up as with previous Android versions. I believe they just need to compile their apps with SDK 23 as the target version.
[Galaxy S6 General] HaGii:
I don't know if someone reported this issue yet:

Sometimes when I wake my phone to check the lockscreen and the screen goes black again, the fingerprint sensor works. You will recognise it because the device vibrates everytime you touch your home button.

This does not happen when I click the lock button again to lock the device . [emoji14]
[Galaxy S6 General] nadejo:
you see it when you seipe up and get to patern lockscreen.
[Galaxy S6 General] swa100:
Ah ok, thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] Rebel25:
anyone received a new android ota as yet?
[Galaxy S6 General] arj154:
nope, I imagine we wont get a new one till the new year, don't forget its the holidays still!
[Galaxy S6 General] Rebel25:

Anyone tell me where running apps gone they used to be in application manager but there not there now
[Galaxy S6 General] kiko3:
In developer optons
[Galaxy S6 General] Fusiionn:
I think i gonna send this feedback to Samsung. Why inplant a future that you can take control over an app we say you download a app and it want access to your contacts in the phone but if you take away that access you bearly cant use the app anymore. Like i tryed to do a quick connection to our Samsung TV the quick access or quick connect (dont know the name in english since i use swedish) it wants access to my contact list i denyed it guess what i could bearly use the app could not turn on so everyone could see me could not connect to our Samsung smart tv because it told "I NEED ACCESS TO YA DAMN CONTACT LIST" .

Whats the point then to inplant this future when it still need the access to certain things on your phone without it its useless.
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Totally agree so many apps want access to my contacts so I block access to contacts and app crashes
[Galaxy S6 General] bregan90:
Maybe the popup asking for permissions is OS-managed, but the logic behind what the apps does with the user answer it's developer's fault.
[Galaxy S6 General] javitolopez69:
S6 6.0 .

could it be the screen has better resolution now ??

should i revert back to android 5.1.1 i didnt like much the marshmallow. is it safe to install via odin after 6.0
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
yep it perfectly safe :)
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
Here it is my first test of the battery in 4G all day since 100 to 1% leaving home with 40% brightness and at 18h change to 20%. Facebook, messenger, YouTube web and calls.

I have everything disabled ,clean M.

5.1.1, its much better. Hope they fix the standby time with the official.
[Galaxy S6 General] The Zel:
I only have one question for you guys, since I've only heard mixed opinions about it: is the RAM management issue solved? Is it any better than lollipop's?
[Galaxy S6 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Bad luck i guess :)
[Galaxy S6 General] garret1976:
Today I had almost 5hr SOT and total time of 24hrs. Standby time looks great.

Don't know why there's so much differation between different S6s
[Galaxy S6 General] isaak.lee05:
When my phone is locked and I try to turn the screen on while all lights in the room are off or while I hold my finger over the light sensor the screen turns off immediatly. Can I turn this off?
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
nope.. from what Ive heard its new feature so the phone doesnt unlock in your pocket... also why would you hold your finger over light sensor? :D
[Galaxy S6 General] CQ7:
It's not solved but it's better than on lollipop. Some apps still be killed especially if phone go into deep sleep. Also switching from one app to another in the multi tasking it's not as fast as before.

Do you had 4G always on since leave charger until 1%, i bet you wont.

Im talking about 4g not wifi.

And doubt it gets better.

Stock no root.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
I received it yesterday 20 hours after registered
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Anyone know what these are running the ones which are numbers. I'm getting terrible battery 50 % lost and only 1.5 hrs SOT. I factory reset then installed. Optimised apps but still terrible battery
[Galaxy S6 General] cro.dev:
Same for me. Terrible battery
[Galaxy S6 General] lummujaj:
I got it via official way... battery is better compared to costum rom with costum kernel (5.1.1 roms... also device is so cool (its like being undervolted)
[Galaxy S6 General] Underworled:
Wath rom and kernel are u using ?

[Galaxy S6 General] AlexisXDA:
There isn't deep sleep

This is the problem

You can fix it rooting your device and applying fix by wanam

You can find this in "How to root beta testing Android M" of Arter97 in the section "Galaxy S6 General"

Thanks!

I wonder if its just for rooted phones... or just random devices have problems with it.. so far every rooted 6.0 BETA Ive seen had problem with deep sleep
[Galaxy S6 General] bregan90:
That bug is only present in rooted phones...
[Galaxy S6 General] Garner:
Looks like if you change to the uk btu firmware it will work everywhere,

Currently updating :P
[Galaxy S6 General] Pratz852:
Downloading right now as well.

I didn't get any confirmation for being beta tester though.

So don't know if It's a normal update or beta.

Funny that some are getting 1200mb and some 1180mb updates
[Galaxy S6 General] Garner:
Its definitely 6.0 as you will read before install
[Galaxy S6 General] Akeel1994:
Will someone post screenshots? ::D
[Galaxy S6 General] Pratz852:
It is.

In the agreement It's said to backup everything.

I find it tedious to backup as smartswitch doesn't backup everything.

Did u update?
[Galaxy S6 General] takeoff342:
And dont Forget to upload the kdz for us all. Or that someone make a flashable Zip from MM

And believe, that Samsung is well known that beta FWs are uploaded here on XDA. Samsung know that, and hiddenly love it, cause so is the Beta respone greater, logo.

hope that someone upload it for us all :D
[Galaxy S6 General] henklbr:
Strange, how is this possible: update to Android 6.0, but DIFFERENT sizes of the update file!

How can? Please make screenshots of the changelog & Phone Info after update and post here...
[Galaxy S6 General] swa100:
Is applying for the beta program still possible? Might flash BTU firmware later today!
[Galaxy S6 General] Faryaab:
Check my twitter feed for screenshots.
[Galaxy S6 General] swa100:
And does anyone know if updating via OTA to the stable version of 6.0 (when it's out) is possible?

[Galaxy S6 General] mrjraider:
Million dollar question: can you flash back to Lollipop without issues?
[Galaxy S6 General] thereassaad:
Its a beta mate so they can back to lollipop mate just in case backup ur efs/imei/modem ok
[Galaxy S6 General] DT84:
Please confirm camera has manual shutter speed control and background processes management isn't as aggressive as in lollipop..
[Galaxy S6 General] mrjraider:
I have made an backup a few moments ago but still.. I will test soon. Just flashed BTU FW.
[Galaxy S6 General] cro.dev:
here is screenshoot from my s6 on 6.0 officially upgraded and no-rooted. I have battery drain problem from first day. Already disabled everything and factory reseted with no success. What is wrong with 6.0 ? Any fix?
[Galaxy S6 General] lummujaj:
Deep sleep works fine.... all who got 6.0 in unofficial way they having problems with deep sleep
[Galaxy S6 General] lummujaj:
Download betterbatery stats and check who is draining yours battery... gsam battery app
[Galaxy S6 General] cro.dev:
i got it on official way and keep un-rooted
[Galaxy S6 General] lummujaj:
Try factory data reset and wipe cache from recovery... and get the app "Gsam battery monitor" ...also check if your phone is deepsleeping at idle
[Galaxy S6 General] StannisTheMannis:
After receiving the official update , i am still having massive battery drain because of deep sleep. I am on stock , not rooted , and have the smart lock feature disabled.
[Galaxy S6 General] radiobicho:
Hi, guys. Is it possible to go back to Lollipop in case i have problems with new Marshmallow beta? If yes how do i proceed? Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 General] Plinky89:
You can rollback by flashing any Lollipop firmware you want with Odin. Knox counter won't be triggered.

Proof: Myself. I went from UK MM Beta directly to an "L" ITA firmware
[Galaxy S6 General] Pratz852:
I can't switch to ptp usb option in developer options.

Is that a bug?
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Alrighty! :D How's the dual sim feature? Notice anything umm, unusual?
[Galaxy S6 General] keijikage:
Getting pretty solid battery life on the beta. One weird thing though is that the battery percentages are reported as a % of a % (like in kit kat) as opposed to a % of full capacity (like in MM). Anyone have any idea if that is intended?
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Alright, download is a go! Thanks for all the replies mate! :D
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
no problems ;) hope everything works out well for you ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
Still a better camera can't adjust raw and manual shutter on this mm fw
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Last question sir. :D If ever I'm gonna go back to stock pops, is it better to stay with BTU? I think UK gets updated first right?
[Galaxy S6 General] amirage:
Hi all,

Just wanted to know if anyone here is facing an android os drain on the 6.0. My phone does go into deep sleep but I also see that it wakes up due to android os...what's causing this? GSAM isn't of much help as it gives a huge list of apps under this and it's difficult to narrow down to one/ two...I did try factory resetting twice but the problem persists...any help? Btw, I got my update the official way!
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
+1
[Galaxy S6 General] amirage:
XEU would be better since it normally gets the first update after Korea
[Galaxy S6 General] Underworled:
Use stock app. U can adjust raw in pro mode

Enviado desde mi SM-G925F mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
Yeah I know bug wonder why third party app didn't support yet except those snap and fv camera apps
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Hmm, well, does the marshmallow update cover XEU or BTU only?
[Galaxy S6 General] amirage:
XEU and BTU are updated at virtually the same time...but historically BTU's are the worst update with huge loads of bugs...the best one would be to stay with XEU
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Don't know what my problem is I didn't loose no percent over night it was on 64% when I went to sleep and 64% when I woke up. Mine drains really fast when I'm using phone I only got 2.5 hrs SOT WITH marshmallow on lollipop 5-6 hrs. If I remember I had this problem on a lollipop firmware and Samsung fixed with update. So I have reported though care app and hope for a fix. I have now gone back to lollipop
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
can I join the BETA program and get the Marshmallow firmware on XEU?
[Galaxy S6 General] Fullmetal Jun:
6.0 beta not available for me! So please,

Anyone please request the option to add a volume slider in notification drawer (like quick connect tick) similar to LG! It's one of the things which frustrate me a lot when using my S6.

U have to press the volume button which makes that noise when adjusting while for LG same is true, but u get option to adjust through notification center as well!

Request no.2: Double tap screen to unlock like LG, HTC or Sony are doing and double tap any space/status bar to lock as well. I know there are apps for that, but factory options are better and more optimized :)

Many thanks ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] tarunvats33:
Hi All,

I m galaxy s6 user from India.

Since my model no is G920I , so no MM.

Plz suggest following things to Samsung

1. Double tap to wake up

2. No lockscreen effects( make it like stock)

Thanks in Advance..
[Galaxy S6 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Are you sure about BTU?

Does FB, instagram or other craps came preloaded on XEU.

So far i knew BTU is the most debloated and stable, and i want to make the change.
[Galaxy S6 General] lummujaj:
FRANCE firmware is the most stable.. its the frimware the all developers use for roms... XEF if im not mistaken
[Galaxy S6 General] AlexisXDA:
No, it's the first firmware that Samsung release

And for me it isn't more stable than you are saying

Inviato dal mio SM-G920F utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 General] cavags5:
This definitely is a bug,

I charge 100 close apps ,all turn off ,and on airplane mode,and everything ok until i woke up, still in airplane mode i just checked to see if drain ,1% very good, then left the phone lime it was ,go to take breakfast, 40 minutes later 4% drain ,i turn off airplane mode, more 2%.

I will do another hard reset,but like some users have the same problem,M is very fast its what making not downgrade to 5.1.1.
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Been to Samsung service centre and was told drain down to some sort of memory management issue and it will be fixed. He didn't say much more as he didn't know when it will be fixed he just said the more people who report it the better.
[Galaxy S6 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Why don't you take out to your pc all media files, scan for viruses, perform a factory reset from phone menu, that perform a cache wipe a few times, reset from recovery once again, then once again from phone menu, and here we go. Like this you will be sure everything is fine with your software.

Then perform everything from the first boot (Google account, Samsung aaccoun, fingerprint ... and so on).

Then you can try to make a clean install, do not import anything from Google.

So far so good, disable apps you do not use, and try to do this without updating them first from Play Store.

After completion, make your first initial setup which will take some time but will spare you from headaches later.

Now you can put back in place all media files.

Do not use any previous backups (Smart Switch, Google, Samsung, ETC!

Be sure to disable wireless after insert your accounts, so Google cannot auto update, than go to Play Store and disable auto update.

Apps does not need to update before being disabled. And i talk about the ones you do not use.

Here we go, this are few tricks i use when things are getting out of control.

Questions:

Have you ever been rooted?

Knox is tripped?

Have you officially received MM or not?
[Galaxy S6 General] Johnny camaro:
I don't know if this is also on 5.1,

After booting in safe mode and rebooting again you have to login in almost all apps.
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
Oh well never really liked marshmallow always preferred lollipops but my favourite is kit kat
[Galaxy S6 General] mefistos:
It depends... BTU is exactly the same as XEO... XEO was used fot international phones and later it was changed to BTU... the good thing is that it comes debloated... but its not always true that it gets first updates... sometimes poland gets them... sometimes Germany... this time BTU... so it doesn't really matter what you are on as you can always get whatever firmware you want without loosing any data;)
[Galaxy S6 General] henklbr:
Same with PHN (Netherlands)! ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Ionut Ciprian:
Well, nice to see you again.

We already had this conversation before while i had the Note 4 if you remember.

So thanks, but no thanks :)
[Galaxy S6 General] xavier2k3:
Did you do a clean install?
[Galaxy S6 General] seanroberts196:
Downgrade ????

Sorry if this is repeated elsewhere but I'm on 6 and it's great but I've just brought the Gear VR and it doesn't seem to be compatible so I'm thinking of downgrading. So the question is can i just re flash via Odin or do i need to root first etc and then do a custom rom install
[Galaxy S6 General] Cave_diver:
You need to first exit the beta program from the beta app that is in the 6.0 notification bar, otherwise you will get the update again after your first reboot into 5.1.1.

Then you can flash 5.1.1 using Odin. I did just that, plus made a factory reset using recovery before booting 5.11.
[Galaxy S6 General] seanroberts196:
Thanks I'll try that later, but I've got a samsung technician logging on to my phone in about an hour to try and solve my problem, if he can't sort it out I'll downgrade and try that method.
[Galaxy S6 General] hassan_1000:
Can we all request that there is an option to link ringtone and notification volume on future mm builds. I hate that tw has them separated by default with no option to link them
[Galaxy S6 General] Cave_diver:
If he can make Gear VR work, please let us know. The restriction is posted under the beta notes, so this is a known issue.

I would be using 6.0 beta if it wasn't for the Gear VR incompatibility.
[Galaxy S6 General] seanroberts196:
I've just found the Oculus apk's and now I'm not sure do I install them and then try it or leave the phone as standard as see what the tech can come up with ?? Which would be the best for everyone else in the same boat ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Cave_diver:
Actually I had them all set up on 5.1.1.

After the upgrade to 6.0 they just stopped working.
[Galaxy S6 General] seanroberts196:
I'll see what the Tech can sort out then and post success or failure and of course what he did
[Galaxy S6 General] pnr2020:
just gone back to 5.1.1 with smart switch and now im happy. Dont know if anyone knows but you can now root 5.1.1 with cf-auto root so no need to change kernel. chainfire said he working on getting 6.0 to work with cf-auto root which is good news no more messing around with custom kernels
[Galaxy S6 General] dhakalanil81@gmail.com:
IS anyone still reciving beta ?
[Galaxy S6 General] weedu911:

[Galaxy S6 General] shero73:
I like it!

Working fairly well for me. Got about 5.5 SOT in first full cycle. There is a couple of things which have been reported already here like FC in browser when trying to input password for secret mode.

I turned on ultra power saving mode and the device went haywire, changed a lot of settings such as changing display timeout from 15 seconds to 10 minutes, changed my Ringtones back to original and made a force close in my Pie pro app which I can't use at all now even after a reboot and uninstall/reinstall and cache wipe.

But overall I'm very happy with it, it's smooth, responsive and I'm getting good battery.

Official OTA no root.
[Galaxy S6 General] BRiANj64:
I received a notification in the Galaxy Care app(I'm already on Android 6.0!) saying that:

"In case when changing device's internal information artificially and requesting Beta Program subscription - you will not be able to take part in the Program."

So people who already got it are lucky, but I guess Samsung has added extra security preventing from people that aren't from the UK from participating in the Beta?
[Galaxy S6 General] RychJ:
I got MM beta and this message I had in the notification. I think it's there from the beginning.

[Galaxy S6 General] $tefanDroid:
Yes that message has no consequences.

And for all of you that are waiting for the beta: Do a full wipe from the settings and flash the PIT file via Odin (the file was posted earlier). Then reboot and you should immediately receive the update. (You dont even have to sign in to your google or samsung account)
