My guess is it's Sprint, they have to fill it with boat and crap then get licensing information credit people and pay fees
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
I have never understood why it is considered bad form on XDA to rush a developer to get a new ROM out; but the very same people expect Sprint to rush out an update to millions of people across multiple countries.

In the words of Jafar, "Patience, Iago, patience."
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
I never thought about our that way
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] asafegous:
how about that g5.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
All rumors, but....

Smaller screen than the LG G4.

No removable battery.

I guess the Magic Slot is a feature, if someone knows what it will really do.

http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-g5-release-date-price-specs-features-666291/

My only experience with LG phones is limited. I bought one (G4, I think) for my daughter and it was not a very good phone.

If you are going to get an LG phone, why not a Nexus?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crawrj:
The fundamental difference in your statement is that XDA devs do it on their own time for free. Carriers, not just Sprint, make millions off their customers. So they should be held to a much higher standard. However in my opinion, Sprint, compared to other carriers, has done a good job at keeping updated. I would say no worse than any other carrier. I mean look at the mm update on the Nexus 6. Every carrier got the ota update months before ATT finally put it out. And that was on a Nexus [emoji33]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
You make a very valid point about paid versus donated development time. The expectations are and should be higher. Of course they have to support a larger and more varied audience as well.

You are also spot on in saying that, in general, Sprint is relatively fast.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
This is a not valid comparison, anyways sprint and samsung have a motivation to hold back updates, thats for you to upgrade to next gen devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Not sure that I see the applicability in this case.

1) It has already been announced that we are receiving the update, so how is the timing impacting purchases?

2) What next gen device are you talking about? The Galaxy S7 that isn't out yet?

3) Sprint is generally among the first to roll out updates.

4) As far as Samsung goes, their biggest fear is losing customers to Apple, so they have an incentive to keep those updates coming.

Since I got my phone back in June of 2015, I have received no less than 4 free updates. Started with OF7 (ready when I first booted), moved to OH1, then OI1, currently OL1.

I don't want to sound like a fanboy, but that is a pretty good sequence for eight months, wouldn't you agree?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] scott_0:
not sure what you mean, Sprint is normally fast with updates.......
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
I guess not
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
Whatever, i guess its still better than motorola, that continually cancels promised update. Just a little envious of lg g4 and htc m9 users right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
6.0.1 on S7/S7E has always-on display.

i wonder if our S6's update have this function? that would be great...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
If we ever get the update, there's a good chance a Dev will be able to port it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
porting from S7 is awesome.

which i wonder is if our S6 have it or not :D

anyway, first thing's first. i cant wait for our 6.0.1 M :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] asafegous:
if you're reading this thread and you are planning on getting an s7, get yourself a tutu. You've moved from fan boi to become a fan girl
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
Whats wrong with s7, external storage is back!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] asafegous:
android n update will show up after s8 unpacking event
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lekienhuhu:
6.0 for g920p, when???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Seems like never... Very very disappointing. Last year my S5 had Lollipop in Dec.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] southernstyle:
I think the s6 has become the bastard child of Samsung. The s7 is where they focused their energy. I thought for sure that Samsung would beat out the other manufacturers at getting it to the devices
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] CharmedWhovian:
I just got off phone with Sprint techies and Sprint has the Android M update and only a few got it. I want my update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] scott_0:
lol and why wouldn't they focus their energy on the S7? and how do we know Sprint doesn't have the update? and are presently tweaking it and putting their bs bloat ware in?????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
That's what their doing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] vietanh_nb_1993:
s6 sprint

next couple of months?? :rolleyes:

I think the s6 sprint will be getting update to 6.0 in mid Feb/2017 :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Well, probably not that late but its differently going to be a while. I wouldn't worry about it that much, check this out: CM Github they are beginning to add support for the S6. It will just be a matter of someone adding direct support for the Sprint S6 once we have CM working well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
I dont think update will drop till april-may time reastically, it seems to be a bigger update then from kitkat to lollipop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] luvmypurps:
No time soon

I just talked to sprint help person and he said they are still working out alot of bugs and it will be about 2 to 3 weeks before we see it in us
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
2 to 3 weeks is quite soon for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lekienhuhu:
So we'll have M 6.0 for g920p, right????
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Maybe
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] asafegous:
does today mark the end of mid-febuary?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
I guess so, I'm going to reach out to them right now and see if I can get something
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mholloway:
So did you get any news?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
even Note4 already got the M.

maybe next time i wont get the Sprint anymore :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ghostzyden:
My next phone will be a Nexus for sure lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
Actually im living outside of US and accidentally using an unlocked Sprint :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mykehdoom:
I called Sprint Technical Support and spoke with their Development team, they haven't even begun working on the Marshmallow Update yet.

They told me they haven't received the update yet. So no ETA on release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] balistic2:
I have a feeling we wont get 6.0 until the May-ish.

Anyone tempted to ditch the s6 and get the s7? It has crossed my mind as of late. I want to try and end the lease of my s6 early. Any suggestions would be welcome. I have been a Sprint customer for over 10 years so I could try and play the longevity card.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
I'm never getting another Samsung, I'm getting either LG or Nexus
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] viperblood:
It's sprint not Samsung.... Sprint is notorious for doing this every year they delay the updates because then the s7 and s6 will be too similar to sell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyS6Noob:
TBH I just got the S6 almost 2 months and I wished I would have waited because the bigger battery and the SD card slot makes the s7 worth it. But my self has been with sprint for a very long time. the only way you can end your contract is go to verizon for a month so they buy out your contract then switch back to sprint. I may be wrong tho so pleased correct me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] RayTrue04:
Sprint is usually good with updates. If they're lacking it's because of Samsung. Idk how can anyone paint Samsung innocent when every other device by LG, HTC and others have marshmallow. My sisters G4 has marshmallow and my friend is also rocking it on his M9, both sprint. Heck Samsung just now starting to roll out overseas to Note 5! Samsung is the only one holding back this update not sprint. I'm tired of Samsung, think it's time I explore others. Been going through this since the S1 nothing new.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] southernstyle:
out of curiosity, anyone intrigued by HTC? I feel like they are always overlooked, but they always had the premium device. This was my first time away from an HTC since 2008, and I've never regretted it more lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
I had htc m8 between s5 and s6, and it was a solid phone, camera was weaker, but it was always buttery smooth and lag free. Had an excellent premium feel and good battery. S6 has the worst battery life i had since S2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Back to the topic....

https://www.gottabemobile.com/2016/03/03/samsung-galaxy-marshmallow-update-2016/

I found that to be the most comprehensive update, but I hope everyone has an ad blocker!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyS6Noob:
This really doesn't give a date for sprint or the 4 other carriers. It only gives dates for Europe and other countries. To be honest it's all speculation. Everyone has their own opinion on when it will be released. It would make logical sense to release it with in the next couple of weeks to the US carriers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DustinB621:
Well what makes me mad is that samsung went back to snapdragon which means more roms and better dev support vs the current exynos s6. These are things samsung has done for years to keep you coming back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
Agree. It's worse than when I had s3. Don't know what Samsung did to this cuz s5 was pretty solid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] djpabz23:
I read somewhere that the Verizon Note 5 got the MM update today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mholloway:
Yes note 5 is getting the update, verizon beats sprint again in releasing updates in the USA . so hopefully soon sprint will release it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] alexandino49:
Sprint note 5 was able to get the Engineering build of MM so it's possible that we might see an OTA from that soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
Its a sad day when verizon releases new versions of samsung software before all other carriers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] amieldl143:
Totally. Sad because its not samsung its sprint delayinh all this for s6. Thats a fact. They still testing the damn thing. Samsung needs to make agreement with all carriers to release at one time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
What a complete and utter disappointment this phone was in terms of development/updates/performance. Damn, hopefully the S7 will deliver bc this has been a sh!tshow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
Tbh it's the most imperfect Samsung phone I ever used. The best was Galaxy S4. This phone had good screen and camera though, which actually made me happy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] AnonRobot:
It's already march and still nothing. my patience is running low ha ha. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
None of that is true, plus when spending hundreds on theses devices we should be able to do what ever we want with/to them. As for the hotspot mod, sprint sucks so much that you can even tether with or without mods.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Huzaifa_Aziz:
Well to be honest I am also sad, mainly due to the update frills and also the excitement I bought this device with dying down day by day due to not being able to using 4G radio on the Sprint version because I am using another carrier. But the world is changing and well I guess it was at least worth it's buck when this device came out and I love it's camera and display though (Y)

and this forum was actually for people to unlock their devices and get root control without blowing out fuses (knox) and getting out of the bourgeois themes and tripping out their devices well... it is still that. :) try looking harder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
You do realize this is a $800+ device right? So yeah people are gonna be mad when a sh!tshow like this happens, and rightfully so. HTC/LG have rolled out MM to phones 2 yrs old already. This isn't a "little slow", MM has been out 6+ months with "N" coming out in 2 months and we don't even have MM yet........ :rolleyes::eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyS6Noob:
That's weird because i am a very heavy user and I can get 9 to 11 hrs out of my rooted S6. Now yes most of that 9 to 11 hrs is media playback te other is Facebook and snapchat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
There is no way you are getting 9 to 11 hours of screen on time, i used to get five hours of screen on time on s5, with 20 hours of standby. But the s6 gets 2 hours of screen on time with 14 hours of standby. There is something seriously wrong with battery life.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
Yeah the S5 was very good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] socos25:
S5 was better in a lot of ways, but the camera on the S6 is what sucked me in.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyS6Noob:
Here is the proof.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] cruise350:
Your screen on time was 10%, so an hour of screen time. Your proof failed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
This doesnt mean anthing unless u click on screen and show how much screen on time you had.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] RayTrue04:
Also provide the screen where it shows if you've partially charged every now and then. #Suspect
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Here's my proof:cool:...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
All i know is that s6 has awful battery life for me compared to same usage on s5, s4 and htc m8.

And i have had two different s6 in use right now just to rule out a bad battery.

I am hoping the doze feature in marshmallow will help, otherwise i will bite the bullet and get an s7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] amieldl143:
S4, come on now. I have an s4. With the 2550 small battery on s6 cant complain. You have quad hd, poweful processor better camera. My phone still last me the wole day. Heavy use non stop i get about 3.5 to 5 hours on screen time. Majority 4 to 5 hours on screen time. Only problem is standby sometimea. So definitely 6.0.1 will make this phone better on standby mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mykehdoom:
I just got the marshmallow update on my S6. Literally just thirty minutes ago. I'm on the Sprint network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mykehdoom:
It's in the process of downloading
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Orbiting234:
Was just coming in here to say the same thing. It is downloading slowly, but this 1.2GB update clearly is going to be MM :)

Can't wait to give it a whirl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mykehdoom:
Getting closer. I'll post another screen shot when it's completely done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Orbiting234:
Lol, seeing a new boot logo from Sprint for their "LTE Plus" marketing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
lol, so now we need a new TWRP version for this coming MM :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] vietanh_nb_1993:
thanks. I wanna cry when i heard it :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] albannotosska:
OMG, finally! I will go back to stock just to get the update!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lovehtcone:
so happy if Sprint have update MM for S6..

i have stock rom but i had root, i couldnt update..:crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Ahad_Shaikh:
:D:D:D:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TaNuXzx:
U r using theme or sth like dat huh ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
can we root this MM yet? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Ahad_Shaikh:
Vanilla theme:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mrrua2112:
Why my S6 can't call or send messege after update :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TaNuXzx:
Sài hàng unlock lậu :))
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] albaniandroid:
When can we get a firmware download link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TaNuXzx:
cheking at sammile or get back to lollipop and update over the air
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] albaniandroid:
But i am rooted and i use it in europe..i dont think i will get it automatically
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TaNuXzx:
Get back to stock then ota
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] albaniandroid:
U think i will get it OTA even if i use the phone in europe?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] besotsima:
I just got update on my sm-g920p in Europe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TaNuXzx:
i think you should get back to the lastest stock then ota
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lekienhuhu:
finally, we'll have M. lol (links in sammobile)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mykehdoom:
Finally running MM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] albaniandroid:
I cant find any link there .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
Holy mother of g-d thank you!!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] unomedmen1:
I got the update this morning.

I'm in Texas
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lekienhuhu:
Very very happy :))))
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
Shoot i cant edit apns using msl when in ##data#, i needee that for my 4g hotspot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] orlando_javier:
Same here, nowhere to edit apns... :confused: :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
I see the dial up networking setting, does this do thay same as adding dun to the apn?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mykehdoom:
No I don't believe it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] RayTrue04:
All good things come to an end. I knew it would be a matter of time till Sprint blocks it. I bet the update automatically updates profile to remove it for those who have it enabled too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TaNuXzx:
wait for the dev . they will do it for ya
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
yes, the profile did update, after phone booted up, how did you know???

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

I would definitely appreciate a dev helping on this, but I dont want to root to gain tethering
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] balistic2:
How would the carrier now manually change the APN setting if it got messed up some how? Hopefully the setting is just hidden somewhere else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Just do ##update#
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] socos25:
The issue is they don't want the profile to update, it disables the changes to make hotspot work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] rickballs:
I need to disable band 41. ##data# doesnt work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] RayTrue04:
Well when they enable stuff like extra lte bands and Carrier Aggregation it's done through software updates which triggers a profile update to provision them. Based on that I always knew once they catch on that would be exactly what they would do, remove the apn setting from ##3282# and send out the profile update to clear it to default. They did the same to stop us from setting our own prls. Only way is for a dev to dig into the system and remove it from its hidden state.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] balistic2:
There are options for Bluetooth tethering and USB tethering in the settings menu. (Hotspot and Tethering->USB tethering). However I was not able to make them work. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] swaydude:
I turned this on. And my hotspot started working.:D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] waoasis:
I like everything about this marshmallow, except that the icons are no longer 2k. Seems like 720P =P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
but will the carrier bill for usage, please check your usage tomorrow and see if it shows up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mholloway:
i hear sprint released update today,...wont be long now:o read it on sammobile
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] edlee:
Fingerprint unlock is much faster now, and battery has improved as well. Waiting for tomorrow till i know for sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] albaniandroid:
Has anyone root it ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mholloway:
boostmobile here,i just unrooted,flashed stock firmware,received giant update,:D installing now,

Marshmallow 6.0.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] balistic2:
Where is the setting? Is it in the ##DATA# menu?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] swaydude:
Yes. Under More-> Dial Up Networking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] joej191:
I got the update too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] balistic2:
Weird I don't have that option. Under the more menu I have:

RC Data

HDR/1X Selection

Voice Privacy

Korea Mode Set

ETS Channel
[Remix OS for PC] Rafostar:
I have an old laptop with Wacom touch panel (Penabled). I am able to boot Remix OS fine but touch isn't working.

How to make touchscreen work?

Edit: Fixed by myself :p

[Remix OS for PC] TheBasterd:
The hardware must be unsupported.
[Remix OS for PC] Rafostar:
Nevermind, I fixed it myself :)
[Remix OS for PC] xconwayx:
Care to share with the rest of us in case this issue comes up more often?
[Remix OS for PC] YassinTP:
I would also be happy to know how to make a Wacom digitizer work on Remix OS as I'm looking into getting a Lenovo X61t to use with Remix OS.
[Remix OS for PC] Rafostar:
My laptop (Fujitsu T730) has Wacom digitizer with both touch input and pen. Using my method only touchscreen works (pen doesn't but I don't care ;) )

You need to create live usb pendrive from official Android-X86 4.4 r4, run it live (without install) and copy from it inputattach file inside system/bin folder to Remix OS system/bin folder (you need rooted Remix OS for this) and set correct permissions.

Download from Play Store Terminal Emulator for Android and run:

su

inputattach --w8001 /dev/ttyS0 &

And touchscreen works :D

I have no idea why this file is missing in Remix OS while it is present in Android-X86 (Remix is based on Android-X86 after all)

It would be great if Remix developers could include it in next releases because as it is now you have to copy it every time you upgrade os.
[Remix OS for PC] YassinTP:
Thank you very much!

Only thing is, the convertible I'm planning on buying only has a pen :D guess I'll just have to try if I get it working.
[Remix OS for PC] jarek3460:
This is no working on my HP 2760p.
[Remix OS for PC] Rafostar:
I also tested it on HP 2760p. And it was working fine. I no longer use Remix OS so I can't confirm if this works on recent rom versions.

Remember that after copying file you have to set correct file permissions using any root capable file browser. (Try setting it to: rwxrwxrwx to be sure it works :D )
[Remix OS for PC] ironfisted:
were you able to ever get this working? I have a 2740p as well with only pen support
[Remix OS for PC] Redesterdragon:
Thank you so much Rafostar this helped getting my touch screen working on my hp 2740p

although it worked after the command was inputted. it failed to work after reboot

to fix this I needed to edit system/etc/init.sh

edit init.sh function init_misc

add command to line 18

inputattach --w8001 /dev/ttyS0 &
[Remix OS for PC] Rafostar:
I forgot to mention that you have to do this every time after reboot or create/add it to a startup script like you did
[Remix OS for PC] Redesterdragon:
I noticed that after falling asleep the touchscreen stops working again till reboot or manually entering the command within the command line
[Remix OS for PC] Redesterdragon:
what would I do to activate inputattach during wake?
[Remix OS for PC] Redesterdragon:
I found one method of disabling sleep using a wake_lock command by placing it within the init.sh file under the function_misc section line 19

echo lock_me > /sys/power/wake_lock

this will dim the screen but not turn off the CPU so the digitizer will remain active now.

Please let me know if this might cause any other unfavorable issues.
