Today i manage to get 4h SOT (35% battery left), record for me om MM
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
Nice job. Which one are you on?

Is it after the second mini update?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Shaylin:
[MENTION=5665729]Sveneezy[/MENTION]

I didnt take a screenshot of the changelog, but it just said the usual bug fixes, security and performance update. However my Android OS started transmitting more info to Google Servers. Theres definitly an increase in "Mobile Radio Active" in Android OS
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
As of today my Google services went trough the roof as well.

Might be an update from them because I'm still on LL.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Shaylin:
Sveneezy , out of curiosity, is your Android OS/Google Services drain due to sending/receiving data or mobile radio active? There are others in my house with the same MM firmware as me, in fact, we both used the same pc to flash with Odin, yet I had battery drain due to mobile radio active being higher than the other S6 edge plus in my house even when transmitting the same amount of data.

Eg: My S6 E+ would use 60mah to transmit and send 1600 and receive 1800. The other S6 E+ would use 20mah to send 1600 and receive 1800.

I noticed my duration would often be atleast double mobile active radio doing this. my drain would then exponentially grow like this throughout the day.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] RMMM:
I have unlocked G928A. Latest AT&T firmware is Android 5.1.1. Is there any way to update it to Android 6? I mean a normal way without rooting and without loosing a warranty.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] s629c:
No, even with root, you can't update to MM. You have to wait for ATT to release the update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] RMMM:
schhy, thank you for clarification.

It is really frustrating. I know that unlocked European firmware for S6 edge+ is based on Android 6.

Moreover, my wife was able to install Android 6 on our daughter's Samsung S3 (with Odin, probably it cancel the warranty. But it already expired).

Also, I have a bunch of AT&T apps which are useless for T-mobile...

Do anyone have an information when AT&T going to update firmware for G928A with android 6?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
No, I would not revert back to Lollipop (and you are not encouraging me eheh!)

I'm confident that maybe the device will stabilize itself (something better is happening in the last couple of days and also I captured an excessive usage of battery by Skype that I'm not using so I stopped it) or they will release new updates hopefully soon that will re-establish a better battery duration
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
LOL I tried. I'm tempted to go back to MM but walking around with my charger is a no no. (Yes it was that bad!)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] nmm81:
yes, after mini update (16Mb +/-).

I use package disable pro, disable most of the marked apps
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] marcochapita:
Don't count on it before the 21 of February they are very focus on the presentation of the s7, they don't want to be bother with an update that could bring more bugs or so...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] vagenrider:
hmmmm......agree
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] oposiasty:
I know that, I've worked for Samsung few years ago. Still, there are not many users of high end phones in here, as for most people these cost literally monthly salary - it makes 'test group', as I'd call early adopters of new updates, quite small
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] celeronix:
I'm waiting with interest for this new update, but feel kinda strange.... like it's going to be disappointing and there won't be anything new that's worth it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] vagelis74:
In the beta version of s6 anroid 6.0.1 is the best rom I'm using in Samsung phones i think the update for my s6 edge plus will be gorgeous [emoji5]

Στάλθηκε από το SM-G928F μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Gojira-r32:
always so long waiting with samsung for updates.

And there best phone on the moment needs to wait the longest, you should expect with the most expensive phone (edge plus) on this moment from them, that they should give the beta first to that model.

I had it with samsung, when the predator 6 smartphone comes out, i am buying that one and seel the edge plus.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] celeronix:
I also think that creating a ROM should not take 3 or 4 months for one of the biggest companies in the world.

My second thought is that the whole system has to be changed, i.e. you should have the right to install whatever OS you'd like and just update the drivers there so you can use all of your hardware parts. BUT apparently that is not a good option for the manufacturers :)

What happens if the UK version flashes the Korean marshmallow firmware on their phone?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] umbrokhan:
your model G928F model has to be the same to flash.

If G928F model gets the update in other country can you use Smart Switch to update to Marshamallow Android 6 update?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Joao Oliveira:
Most likely you will get with a BRICK. S6 (edge and edge+) have tons of variants. You need to wait for one that matches your phone.

which cleaner are you using?

i cant believe this battery :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Drizzy xS:
Don't use cleaner app, they're well known to not do anything and in fact slow and down and reduce battery life

BTW does anyone know the region code and info for the French firmware so I can put it into Sam firmware to download?

verizon had the update out on 4 1, servers couldn't push it to me in a populated area, lucky for me I was in the sticks Saturday and downloaded the update. all good, battery life seems about the same, couple different things, I lke, or don't. seems like wake the screen and slide to show numeric pad to enter password is an extra step.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] FinHD:
And you are still wait waiting for it??? Or am I missing something?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dhuhtala:
I received the update this afternoon. I had problems with unlocking with fingerprints but I finally got it working. One strange problem is that the Themes icon is gone! I'm stuck with the last theme I installed and I cannot change it! Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
Just go trough settings and then themes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dhuhtala:
Yeah, I would but the icon and the menu option is gone!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
Oh really. Even when you search for it?

How on earth did that happen?!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] MoHuToP:
You've disable the theme store via Pdp.

That battery!

It's been driving me crazy - 20% overnight.

I tried everything and in desperation turned to *gasp* task killers.

It worked.

I have Greenify AND Deep Sleep Battery Saver and Finally, FINALLY some flat lines.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] crademan:
No XFA update yet....That sucks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dhuhtala:
OK, what's PDP?

Anyway, I found that if I go to the home screen and use the pinch-zoom to shrink to see the wallpapers/widgets, etc...the Themes icon is still there and I can use that to reset my theme back to default. I don't know why the settings icons/menu items are gone though.

I have not done any customization on this phone...

I jus noticed a third BTU update arrived. What happening?!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
I just tried the PD2 for UK (coming from the French version PC3) and the first result is that the stock SMS app is not working anymore!

Tomorrow, accepting to be without SMS for a while, at least I will check if the battery drain has been sorted out...

Samsung this time is making a mess, with this Mashmallow update!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] thegios:
I am currently on XEF firmware G928FXXU2BPC3_G928FOXX2BPC3_G928FXXU2BPC2 and have no battery issues.

BTU firmware G928FXXS2BPD2_G928FOXA2BPB3_G928FXXU2BPB6 has a bigger PDA version but a lower CSC and PHONE version.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
Which operator are you connected to? Mine is TIM Italy and it seems the battery issue is related to the network connection. To many of us it happens that the cell standby is reported absorbing more that 12/13% of the battery and something else in the cellular connection cause the battery to be stressed.

Another user proposed to use wifi and as a matter of fact in that case the battery drain disappears. I guess that depending on the network software the operator is using, our S6 edge + may experience or not the battery drain issue...

Resetting the system does not solve the problem
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] thegios:
I have TIM Italy as well and never had a problem with any firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
Indeed very strange... And how much is the percentage of battery consumption in cell idle? Mine is 13% without using the device as it happens to the other users experiencing battery drain. And using the device very little it is dead before midnight. With Lollipop it was used to last till early morning so I am not satisfied. And using the device for some messages calls and email... In the evening it is in crisis while before it lasted far better with Lollipop
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
What does this mean?

Bigger PDA but lower CSC and PHONE? What does this do?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stiffler191:
I installed D2 Firmware yesterday. SMS app started working after full reset, did not work after I flashed it over XEF PC3. Phone is as smooth as PC3 and battery life seems to be comparable (I was/am getting around 5 hours SOT with a few packages disabled and assuming no long whatsapp/viber calls and especially skype which is a battery disaster!. Also low signal will do a good job of killing battery). Phone battery stabilises after a few days after initial reset so its not always the case that it will be constant for the first few days. Anyone which battery issues should install Gsam and monitor app usage and also use simple system monitor to check what is using the processor when the phone is warm and kill that app/ clear the cache or if all else fails live without it.

I have attached an XML export of what I disabled in Disabler Pro. you can import into your system if you so wish. I would suggest disabling stock apps that can be disables both in the phone and Disabler pro as the system will look for them if they are not disabled. I have the edge screen disabled in disabler pro which I definitely recommend disabling in the menu as well before D Pro. Just to be clear I am not suggesting you disable any of the apps I have if you rely on them!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
Same as stiffler191 I had to make a factory reset/full wipe and now texts (SMS) are working again and the system is stable

We will see in the next few days what about the battery life that today (after the full wipe) seems to be a little better...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] thegios:
I cannot afford a full reset, have no time, so will wait, also because the changelist of this new BTU firmware is 7080791 lower than the one of XFE (7254923).

Besides with XFE I have stellar battery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] KillyTheTroll:
Hi !

There is a new version of the firmware for France why ? ( see attached file )

thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stiffler191:
I used PC5 and the battery is much better than PC3 (inc fluidity). I would recommend it. ( please note I do full wipe after install so experience may vary based on what is on your phone)

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:57 AM ----------

Smart switch puts everything back to about where you left off. Only a few apps will be missing individual in app settings. It takes an hour, however I understand not having time so up to you.

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

Following a couple of days of usage it seems D2 is slightly more stable. I was getting freezes before on C3 when connecting to certain Wifi, at work mostly. and My phone restarted once when it was just sitting next to me. D2 seems sooth and stable... lets hope it lasts ;).

Funny thing, whenever I don't have signal in the tube (metro) i end up with large cell standby usage irrespective of firmware. anyone else have this? I usually get much battery in the weekend because I don't use the tube, even though I use the screen a lot more.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
You wrote PC5 but probably you meant PD2? Later in your multi-quote you refer to PD2...

I cannot see any PC5 on Sammobile!?!

It seems that PD2 after full wipe is great for me as well, even if today is just my second day of "clean usage"...
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
Out of curiosity; what do you consider as stellar?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stiffler191:
I meant exactly what I said. XEF PC 3 has two CSC versions PC3 (which was not very good) and PC5 . Check thoroughly next time.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Drizzy xS:
Does anyone have a mirror for the pc5 firmware? It always fails to download on the piece of **** sammobile servers
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] thegios:
I installed PC5 and it seems this firmware is mti CSC and thru phone info app I see that TPH CSC has been applied I stead of XEF: is there a way to choose which CSC to apply upon flashing?

BTW, by stellar battery I mean that overnight I use only 3%.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stiffler191:
Unless you're rooted there's no way sadly. Flashing through Odin only changes CSC to EUR when installing Greek ROM and BTU when installing English ROM (for Europe and only from open ROMs). Actually that's partially incorrect because CSC is flashed by the phone after Odin is finished. All other EU countries seem to yield TPH. Rather frustrating but inevitable at this stage. If you flash EUR don't forget to use correct pit with 250 hidden partition otherwise it won't flash and you'll have to do hard reset and start again ( hold volume down and power which simulated battery removal).
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] thegios:
OK, so what does the csc affects? Only OTA updates?

I am asking cos I am trying to place on the home screen the "Google Maos Driving Widget" but when I try it says feature is not available yet in my region.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stiffler191:
I doubt that is due to the CSC. Try a VPN and see if it let's you do it when yore on a US server or maybe you have to change your Google account to another region. CSC is only used for OTA and other Samsung (Region) specific features as you mentioned.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] thegios:
"Try a VPN and see if it let's you do it when yore on a US server or maybe you have to change your Google account to another region"

How? I thought it'd suffice to change language to EN US: for Google Now features this works

---------- Post added at 23:10 ---------- Previous post was at 22:50 ----------

Ok I found how. Tried: still doesn't work?

In which region are you?

Can you please try?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] stiffler191:
I am in UK and works fine. It may be country specific as it says its not available in your region and this is dependant on your Google account information and actual location. Maybe you can try the links below.

The update is finally AVAILABLE for T-Mobile US Note5 and edge+ 928T users. I'm downloading now! Enjoy!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
Today a lot of European countries got the PD2 version of the firmware, the same available for the UK

CSC is instead PB6, vs the CSC version PB3 included in the UK firmware

Any guess about what might be the improvement between CSC PB3 and PB6?

Given the reset I had to do updating from France to UK I think now I will be still, avoiding new risks to hard reset :) But till now I'm experiencing not enthusiastic battery performances, so looking at new versions that might perform better!

Yep, the same thing happened to many of us upgrading to PD2. It happened to me upgrading the French PC3 to UK PD2

As you may have already read here... the only thing you can do is a factory reset/full wipe

And SMS will start working again as magic... It took long time to me avoiding to use the back-up and restore (Google + Samsung) and I preferred doing everything manually

so tha last update seems not so good, battery a little bit worse and it needs 10 sek to open any webpage :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] thegios:
I did it!!!

Have one problem though, that I believe is due 59% to Facebook Messenger and 50% to media library: fb Messenger does not see my personal mp3 ringtones I added in Notification folder, I can only choose among predefined sounds. All other apps, including FB itself do see the extra MP3s.

Tried apps to force media rescan but most of them crashes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Minerael:
Updated Polish software to PD2, no problems at all. No wipe, everything's buttery smooth, I guess it's just an update of the security database.

It's nice that Samsung doesn't forget about us :)

On the French firmware after a clean wipe and a few days battery is absolutely atrocious here, location off Google now off, on WiFi down to 21% from 8am to 2pm.. 3 hours sot would normally be able to make it to at least 9pm before it would be down to this on the old firmware
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dengi_it:
My advice is to upgrade to one of several European version now at PD2 release and after the upgrade make a full wipe/ factory reset

In my experience (having moved from French PC3 to UK PD2 and made a full wipe), now I'm coming back to normal battery life!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Sveneezy:
Not trying to be offensive but where on earth do you guys find the time to factory wipe your device over and over? I mean as a daily driver it's a hassle going trough the process of putting every single thing back 1 by 1.

If there's a quick way please teach me so I can go ahead and mess with it myself. Lol.

PD2 comparable to LL? Or not that good? Do I search for PD2 I the file name by the way?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] SAVVAS.:
I noticed this awful web speed experience since I updated to 6.0.1. I want to throw the phone at the wall. My LG G2 is 10 times faster-responsive than S6. I think it has serious problem when it comes to latency, it doesn't get the order fast enough so that it starts the loading of the website.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] bfeng50:
Have you tried a hard reset, wiping the cache? My phone is dozing like a mofo now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] kolembo:
This was the hardest thing to swallow after the update.

I had to go with Greenify which I thought I'd never used again, along with Package Disabler Pro to get back to battery that was actually asleep with screen off.

AND I had to completely disable KNOX.

I thought this 'doze' thing was going to be excellent.... It's really good on my lgG4.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] tymex928:
i did first a hard reset and wiping cache, then installed the stock rom with odin, after that again a wiping cache.

First i had the G928FXXS2BPC6 but then i got every time the cSC code for TPH (Portugal) maybe there is the wrong CSC file in this version?

Now i am on G928FXXU2BPC3 (VIA) but also not good.

Which version are you running and which CSC Code have you?

Thank you
