Its always the same story with samsung

s7 will be launched with MM

and next year just a month before releasing the next android the s8 will already have the next android. I had the s1 till s6 and each year will be the same it will have battery drain like always.

i noticed the firmware out of the box is always the best firmware.
[Galaxy S6 General] Novek:
I'm really not sure why people are so crasy for MM update...

Security patches are already given for 5.1.1, Doze is available for 5.1.1. The only thing I can see then is the UI - which you can alter with themes - and permissions per app.

Anyway, all your apps most likely work perfectly with 5.1.1, and daily use is also covered.

Sure, new updates are welcome, and I'm a flashaholic myself (currently on weta 6.0.1 beta), but the need is more of a obsession than a crucial need...
[Galaxy S6 General] Koostis:
Not gonna find much with LG:

-Terrible customer service

-Little freedom for developers

-Buggy updates (despite being a little faster than Samsung)

That's why I moved to a S6 after a month of having the G4.
[Galaxy S6 General] Aria.A97:
It's not just about "Marshmallow".

It's about how much they really care about user after they sold a phone.

This is best phone I've ever had and I'm pretty happy with it.

But I bought it because there was no other option available in 2015!

Phones released in first half of 2015 had over heating problems (Xperia Z3 Plus, HTC One M9) and phones in seconds half of 2015 were still suffering from throttling which in my opinion is worse than "delayed updates".

I never bought Samsung device before, because I was aware of aftermarket developing issues with Exynos.

And I will never buy again, because now I'm aware of more problems.
[Galaxy S6 General] Cave_diver:
Security patches are not provided in a timely fashion. Most versions of the 920/925F are currently about four months behind. If you consider that Samsung gets the updates four weeks earlier from google, we are almost five months behind.

To me it's not even about marshmallow taking ages.

Now if Samsung made the Knox fuse resettable, we could all root the phones and use app os. Or if the Exynos sources were available we could have Cyanogenmod or other AOSP flavors which would greatly enhance the devices usability.

I do like the S6 hardware a lot, but without the proper software (and support for it) it is useless to me.
[Galaxy S6 General] ham4ever:
Same here, last samsung i will buy and i will warn peopel to not buy one either
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
MM for Note 5 beta is out: http://www.sammobile.com/2016/02/03...ng-out-to-some-galaxy-note-5-units-in-the-us/

hopefully not long before the offical release to 920F
[Galaxy S6 General] Biggenz:
Says the guy who already has MM. LOL

As for Doze in Lollipop, if you mean the app that you download in play store, it sucks. I tried it and it just drained my battery faster.
[Galaxy S6 General] Koostis:
It's funny how on every single forum on xda that I've been on, there are people, who say "This is my last this, this is my last that". And that only proves that there is no perfect smartphone and I doubt that there ever will be. Some have spot on updates, but the hardware fails. Some have great hardware, but the update delays annoy people. Some have great customer service, others have good development abilities. There always will be something better, but, what people usually forget, there always will be something worse. You have to decide whether you want to sacrifice this in order to have that. And that's the beauty of Android - you have the choice. And if your phone works,and man does the S6 work, but a delayed update makes you want to switch and never go back, just grab an iPhone and be the same as millions. No options, nothing to compare with - the updates always come on time.
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
And then to think that most features people from most other phones are waiting for we already have on our phones. Upgrading to stock MM would be like going back 2.5 years in touchwiz features
[Galaxy S6 General] emmawilliam834:
what do you mean ?
[Galaxy S6 General] istanesb:
This I guess
[Galaxy S6 General] Novek:
Guilty as charged, but I stand by my saying that it's more a desire than a need. Peoples phones with 5.1.1 works, doesn't they?

Doze in Sammys 5.1.1 is called App Optimizer under Battery options. It's there in COI9 5.1.1, and also in the ZPA1 6.0.1 BETA.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
No they dont, camera api 2 is freaking broken in every level for 5.1.1 so any camera software trying to use it will result in nothing but blurr with some colors in it and camera api 1 is severly limited in manual settings.
[Galaxy S6 General] Biggenz:
Ah yes I have noticed App Optimizer with the latest update. I can't really see it making a noticeable difference on my phone to be honest.

And yes all this nonsense with the MM update is just a big fuss over nothing. The phone will still be the same as before with a few slight changes. But even so I'm checking for updates few times a day. :D
[Galaxy S6 General] robogoflow:
Wait what another Beta? They should be pushing out the official OTA right now. The only thing I can think Samsung is doing is a massive world wide update making it available to many as many devices as possible.

The s7 may have a upgrade plan like apple where you buy an unlocked device from them and can use with any device. Maybe they are taking a step to make one firmware for all regions?

Probably not. They are slacking.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
I thought today will be the day where Samsung pushes the Official OTA MM for beta testers? Looks like today won't be fluffy day since they're now focused with the N5 (which I hope I'm wrong.). :(
[Galaxy S6 General] dherre65:
There was never any indication at all that this would be the day for the official rollout. How did you think of this date to be it?
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
umm. I just saw someone yesterday saying that the OTA MM for BTesters will drop today. Maybe I'm wrong? Backread a little bit. You'll see. If only we can be spies and enter Samsung's HQ and press the dang deploy button so we could be all happy. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] dherre65:
I do read threads before I reply ;) and yes, I saw some random people even more randomly shouting out some random dates, but nothing ever looked like evidence for a release date. So as always, these were of course only rumours.

And yes, breaking into the Samsung office, that would be nice ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
dherre, get me my tux. I'm breaking in.

(insert ala james bond music here)

[Galaxy S6 General] King Mustard:
Has anyone in the UK successfully received 6.0.1?
[Galaxy S6 General] bigbamboo5:
I'm pretty certain the answer is 'no', unless you're talking about the beta.
[Galaxy S6 General] Shipoftheline:
If the past is anything to go by France will get it before us
[Galaxy S6 General] farid993:
+1

I agree. But i hope this beta program helps the situation.
[Galaxy S6 General] NicoTeix:
In any case we are not in France used it to 6.0.1 and customer service in France announcement for the update :

We have no news, we will keep you informed ....

haha
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
Yeah with an average of 2h 30m of SoT and great ram management along with great software updates I would say it's the best phone ever /s
[Galaxy S6 General] theabominog:

[Galaxy S6 General] DT84:
I think he meant that his phone got no security updates.

I have the french version of the phone sm-920f neverlocked.........I will keep informed this thread if MM will come first....... :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Infinitodecimal:
Any news on the "i" variant? I mean since I bought it I haven't got any updates at all, not even security patches...
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
If only Samsung built a proper phone
[Galaxy S6 General] Dexter_prog:
perhaps the word "no" should have given you a hint?
[Galaxy S6 General] dherre65:
But when did you buy it? ;) I bought my F version in October and I too didn't receive any updates yet, but it works fine...

We demand a phone made out of cotton candy, seriously tho guys if they make phones with plastic it's a plastic fry pan if it's a glass then slippery as god damn soap if it's metal then heavy as rock, make your own god damn phone
[Galaxy S6 General] palera:
Since the Korean version is already available, anybody knows if it has any improvements over the last betas?
[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:
I think the UK will receive the update on Saturday cause Korea received it on Saturday too!!?
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Umm, other variants of 'F' model from other countries(eg: United Arab Emirates) got updated since January 4. I think G920FXXU3QOLO is the latest update if I'm correct.
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
Im not talking about build, I would take a plastic phone any day over the s6 if it meant i got good battery life and a phone that acts like it has more than 100mb of ram. The s6 is built like a flagship phone but the internals are as if it was released 4 years ago. I would gotten a nexus 6p or a v10 if i knew all the problems the s6 had.
[Galaxy S6 General] ValouSydney:
Lol install xStreTroLite and you'll see the difference!

Good battery, speed... I have tested almost every gs6 roms and I can tell you this one is way above the others! Huge improvement compare to stock rom.
[Galaxy S6 General] emmawilliam834:
ohhhhh :( Google removes Samsung-advertised ad blocker from Play Store.
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
But thats the thing I dont want go though the hassle of rooting/roming my phone JUST for better battery life. Back when I had a s3 yeah i loved to test different roms but that was more to get away from the god awful touchwiz colors. Now since we can apply different themes for touchwiz I really have no need to root my phone. Also correct me if im wrong but for 5.1.1 the only methods to root the s6 is to not trip knox but you lose fingerprint or trip knox and lose samsung pay, both I really love.
[Galaxy S6 General] BRiANj64:
Samsung will probably solve the problem by putting the ad blocker inside the browser itself, so it doesn't technically interfere with other apps
[Galaxy S6 General] smoothunit:
off topic but why don't Samsung release it in their app-store to avoid the google bash and instantly gain 1m+ Samsung store users?
[Galaxy S6 General] godutch:
updates here (for the F variant) most often come on thursdays

[Galaxy S6 General] coki.k:
I hope im wrong but the korean version got it Saturday
[Galaxy S6 General] C192-0:
FAKE! It's just the second beta, with an edited build.prop.. Just look at the Baseband and kernel version. The same as in the beta. The kernel from the korean update was build on 25.01. and the one from the OP on 20.01. 06.01. is the second beta.

Build number and security level can easily be changed in build.prop. And when the baseband begins with G920F, your build number can't be G925S.. ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] Mentalmuso:
Fake? You don't know what you're talking about. He said he's using the baseband and bootloader from the betas. I myself booted into the official Korean MM on my g920f

You can also flash any baseband you want. Even a lollipop baseband if so inclined.
[Galaxy S6 General] FurkanBektas:
Did you how do this?
[Galaxy S6 General] Infinitodecimal:
I bought it in November, and got an update, can't remember if it was 5.1.1 but there was one. The thing is that from that update till now the software is "up to date" even when Samsung says they released monthly updates
[Galaxy S6 General] Mentalmuso:
I flashed the Korean firmware with odin. Then flashed the 920f bootloader and modem. Also i pulled the system files and packaged as a flashable rom. There really is no point though. Just wait for official 920f

I don't recommend trying this kind of stuff unless your OK with procedures to get your phone out of bootloops though. I wipe and flash my phone probably 4-5 times a day
[Galaxy S6 General] C192-0:
Yeah, the baseband. Just look at every date on the screenshot. It's older than the korean MM update.

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

I don't say it's impossible to get the korean MM run on an G920F, but that SS isn't real.
[Galaxy S6 General] thereassaad:
Ooooh. Hahaha mate im not here to lie at this & did u see that its fake ok well korean kernel will never work on 920F even the bootloader & modem ok

2nd things idk how i can show the android version build as on mm not shows from application manager ok

3rd if u are on beta try to install snote then simply its will be fc ok & here the proof about this ok

At the end of this try to get system from Korean fw then flash it & install mm beta kernel & bootloader then its will booted normally ok & now i wish i can know how i can get the android versions & some system app version just to shows u the proof ok ok ..

It's okay, dude. I'm out. ;)

Flash tph coi9 firmware and see if you get 6.0.1 ota
[Galaxy S6 General] Riardon:
True but maybe it's only for his "leaked" update. I seriously doubt this is the official rollout of the stable final Marshmallow build. I wish I'm wrong though. Everyone wants this to be true but I really doubt it. Remember some S5 guys got the MM update as a "mistake" or whatever so I will not be surprised if this guy is just as lucky. Let's see if more people get this.

[Galaxy S6 General] Audioboxer:
Samsung have always been terrible for OS update speed, and are the most developer unfriendly as well (KNOX/only Exynos kernel source).

It's tough for me though as a reasonable sized phone and AMOLED screen are my top wishes. Most phones are either going too big, or using LCD. I detest light bleed and that's why I keep going Samsung every time even after my annual development/speed rages. Light bleed on a screen held a few inches from my face is OCD rage inducing.

[Galaxy S6 General] Aria.A97:
Z5 has throttling issue. Every single phone throttles but these Snapdragon 810 powered devices has either overheating or very extreme throttling issue.

Btw for those who are dying for Marshmallow update, Yesterday I saw some reviews of Beta update. This is something really big! Changes are bigger than any other OEM.

Fingerprint sensor is at least 3 times faster.

Transitions and animations are the smoothest one you'll ever find in any android device. (From what I saw in videos, even Nexus devices weren't this smooth)

These soothe my "wating for update" ache.
[Galaxy S6 General] headhood:
Z5 sucks.

C'mon sell your s6 go buy another device than samsung will release the s7 and you will run to buy samsung again.

Samsung is the ruller you you can talk sh*t about it how much you want.

I bet we will not see 6.0.1 on our S6's before!
