[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Bob2014:
I got the update here in Seattle. Seems good but I have a few irritations that maybe someone could help me with:

Found some answers, edits in blue.

When I use the fingerprint reader to unlock the phone the keyboard flashes up briefly.

The notification bar at the top is a solid medium gray now, I liked it better before. Any way to control what that looks like?

This happens when you turn on power saving mode, my research seems to indicate that there's no way to fix it.

Folders on the home screen turned a hideous diaper gravy yellow, with only a few almost equally horrible colors to choose from. Again, any way to change those?

I like to leave my phone on power save mode. Now there is an icon in the notification bar, and a persistent notification in the pulldown (and also on the lockscreen, ugh!). Any way to get rid of those?

I didn't find a way to get rid of the notification bar icon or pulldown notification, but you can turn off the lockscreen notification as shown at androidcentral.

Apparently when you restart the phone you have to put in your password instead of using the fingerprint reader "to protect the fingerprint." WTF? With the settings I use the screen stays on for about 2 seconds so it's super hard to enter the password.

Appears to be how it's supposed to work, no change possible.

I see in my phone settings that AT&T video calling is turned on. How do you use it? I don't see an app for it or anything to push in the dialer.

I didn't try hard enough--if you actually drill down to someone in your contacts there is a camera icon that you can (supposedly) press to initiate a video call. According to AT&T, both parties "need an AT&T Video Call-capable phone and must be located in an AT&T HD Voice coverage area." (Of course hardly anyone I know anyone is on AT&T, and those ones have iPhones.)

All these little things make me want to roll back my OS (sort of). Any tips would be very appreciated!

Edit: Couldn't find anything about folder colors or the keyboard flashing thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Someone confirm a bug for me...I was trying to video call and was able to connect. There was no audio but the video worked fine, just couldn't hear the other person. If I turned wifi off and use at&t the audio come on and we could hear each other.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] kg_jettaIV:
Any consensus yet on updating from PD5->PD6 via sideload vs going through the full rollback to get the OTA?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] pre4speed:
None at all.

Got it 2 days ago, So Cal desert here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] maelstromm:
I unlocked my phone to use with T-mobile and am on firmware BOI2. Do I need to first manually odin to BOJ9 before I can expect the OTA to 6.0.1? Software update says I have the latest version.

I have so far avoided flashing or rooting on this phone because it is tied to my company's Android for Work profile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
My screen is set to auto-dim, and yesterday it freaked out in the sun. It kept flashing between full brightness and about half brightness. I dont remember reading a strobe effect in AT&Ts changelog.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] kg_jettaIV:
Mine has been doing this since flashing PD5, was really hoping PD6/OTA would fix it. Disappointing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Mine was kind of doing that too, I think maybe whatever setting is used to turn it on full blast in direct sunlight must be super sensitive now. But when I was in a constant patch of sun, it stayed on. It was when I was moving in and out of tree shadows that it was having a fit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Yep, I'm getting similar behavior. So far my only real gripe with PD6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero4:
Did anyone else notice weather is not an option for the lock screen anymore?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
I've seen this mentioned in other posts and reviews of the Marshmallow Touchwiz.

If you really want a weather widget on your lock screen, try installing Good Lock from the Samsung app store. I just installed it today and am surprised how much I like it. Very customizable and you can add lock screen widgets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jznomoney:
I'm using good lock because it was the only way to get mobile data toggle to work in a pull down menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Before i encrypted my phone, i noticed a lot of lags and overall just slow. After encryption, it runs silky smooth. Also the dimming seems to be fixed. No clue why
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] p4ch1nk0:
Can I get the MM update if I have an AT&T branded G920A on Cricket?

I never got the BOJ9 update on this device so I had to sideload it, but I was never able to sideload PD5 or PD6 because of the "cannot read" error (both a Windows 8.1 PC and a Windows 10 PC). I'm not getting this update from either Device Settings or the dialer code, and it doesn't show up in Smart Switch either. Do I have to wait until I can odin the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jamus28:
How can I give samsung S Voice access to my contacts? Voice commands say they cannot find any name, but google voice search works perfectly fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Really? I'm still getting the high volume nag with Good Lock.

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

You can switch off the Good Lock task switcher UI and go back to the default one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Huh. Not sure what to tell you...maybe I did something else around the same time that made the nag disappear? If I did, don't know what it was though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ZephCr:
I've been following this thread for months and now that I finally have the update I can say this is the best update I've had for a long time starting with the s1,2&4. Apps that were buggy are flawless and I barely need my extra battery case anymore, loving the doze feature ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] One Hype:
Holy crap it's finally here! The battery drain was so bad on 5.1.1 that while I was at work today I noted my phone drained 10-15% in 1.5hrs on strictly idle. Switched to airplane mode and only lost 2% over the next two hours. What a joke, but so looking forward to the improvements.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Corey78:
Trying to figure out which setting shows total ram usage. I know it is simple but just can't find it. Battery and everything else is available. Also doze works on it's on correct???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
They moved it to settings/system/developer options/running services
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
How is battery life with all the Google stuff turned on? Anyone tested?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] One Hype:
This new update is absolutely incredible! I guess 6 months of *****ing was worth it. No lag, better battery life, I'm happy. Does anyone notice quick charge is slightly slower than 5.1.1? I reset davalik cache and everything. Charging seems to take 10-15 min longer at around the same reference point as before. Just something I noticed. Curious if others have as well? Could be in my head. The rest of the performance is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ZephCr:
PS

Love the fact they took out the stupid AT&T sound on boot up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SuzukiGS750EZ:
Had an update on my s6 active this morning. A small update to 5.1.1. What a tease
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
For real? Did you take the OTA or did you sideload? I am still running the PD6 sideload version and the AT&T startup sound is still present. Just wondering if this is a difference between the 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
It's there but much more quiet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
Still not having much better battery life. Maybe only slightly better (a few extra minutes worth). Is there a setting I need to enable for Doze? I thought it was automatic?

Also, I've noticed that a few of my apps don't work anymore. They keep force closing every time I try and open. I've tried clearing its cache and reinstalling the app,any ideas?

Strange thing is, I receive notifications from one of the apps, but I can't view them since of the force close on startup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Doze is automatic. Are you encrypted? It helped bring back PC2 performance for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
Nope, not encrypted. I wasn't before the update either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
You should try it. Not really any negatives besides a slightly slower start up and if you dont like a lock on your phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
I guess I'm just not sold on the whole encryption deal. I feel like it would definitely slow the device down as it needs to decrypt on the spot.

Also, I have a password/fingerprint lock on it. Sure, once they bypass that, the intruder has access to my phone, but that's assuming I lose my phone in the first place.

What are the significant advantages to encrypting?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I thought it would slow my phone down too, but after some research, the SoC actually has a encryption/decryption chip that makes no difference in performance. Other than we security, no other advantages if you don't lose your phone but as i said, i noticed better performance after encryption.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] riahim:
Hmm, interesting that you had better performance. I'll have to look more into how android handles encryption. Thanks for the info though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Note, once you encrypted on MM, you cant decrypt without factory reset
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
Does anyone notice that incognito mode doesn't work on PD6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Incognito mode? Private mode or browser?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
The browser
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
My battery life has been very sporadic with MM, just as it was on Lollipop. Yesterday I had fantastic battery life (4.5 hours SOT) and today I've had horrendous battery drain (~8% per hour) with no smoking guns/apps shown in the battery menu.

Also, there's definitely something weird going on with battery charge reporting. Several times, I've pulled the phone off the charger at 100% and within seconds or minutes it is showing 5-10% lost. I've tried letting the battery drain to <5% before charging back to 100%, but the problem returns sporadically. I also tried clearing the cache in the recovery menu, no help.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ryguy2010:
I had a battery issue with the phone also. I did a full drain on the phone (letting the battery die and the phone shut off) and charged it to 100%. It fixed the battery life. I think your battery needs to be re-calibrated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
You mean the "secret mode" in the browser? It still works for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
Huhh I seem to have multiple bugs other people don't. Should I have cleared the cache before sideloading PD6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Did you factory reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
Nope
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ZephCr:
I did OTA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] old south:
If you are using the stock browser, open, click tabs, turn on secret.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SuzukiGS750EZ:
Still trying you figure out why they released a security update yesterday fpr the s6 active when they should be releasing 6.0.1!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
Yeah doesn't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Corey78:
Will they ever make it where you can leave a group text and not get anymore messages from that group? I thought leave conversation did it with the new update, but all it does is delete, then you continue to get them. I do see that you can turn the notifications off. That's a plus but would like to totally leave them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jamus28:
How's everyone's battery life? I'm still not getting over 4 hours screen on. I've disabled every terrible samsung and ATT app, I've even used the adb debloater tool to disable more apps that are normally greyed from disabling.

Is there any secret to getting more battery, or should I look into getting a G920F that's rootable? I'd be happy with 5 hours.

Another question: Which version of our stock rom gives the absolute best battery life? Other considerations are less important to me.

5.11? 5? 4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] fomotomo:
Does anyone have issues with video chat? I got a note 5 still haven't gotten the update >_< and my gf has the s6 she says she has the button but when she calls another att phone that has video chat as well it ends up doing a voice call only...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Both phones have to have video calling feature
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
A lot of people don't understand that disabling every app and service under the sun does more harm than good. Sometimes certain apps go looking for those previously running processes that weren't normally meant to be disabled, and in turn they keep running, causing wakelocks, because they can't finish their tasks since a certain app or service is now disabled.

I would recommend a factory reset and to disable apps that can be only be turned off through the in built application manager. Then slowly begin installing your most used apps and monitor your battery usage from there. I also highly recommend force doze from the play store. It forces your phone into doze mode the moment your screen is off and can even disable phone sensors to prevent doze from turning off when your walking with your phone in your pocket.

I hope to post some further updates of my battery stats and usage as a means to help those who struggle so mightily with battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jamus28:
Thanks for the force doze suggestion! So I'm aware of wakelocks looking for disabled apps. I'm in the process of experimenting with using wakelocks detector and enabling a few things to trim those down. I think samsung account especially is looking for something.

I'm using the aggressive doze feature on greenify at the moment, but forcedoze looks a bit better.

I'm curious to find out what your battery stats are!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I know I don't have anything concrete, but I've been able to leave Google Now, OK Google, and location services on overnight on wifi and loose only 2-3% overnight with forcedoze enabled. I was out and about yesterday on LTE with forcedoze on and all the Google stuff and even after taking a brief phone call, I was still at 100% battery after over an hour. Forcedoze is pretty darn powerful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jamus28:
Are you running PD6? On a g920 or g925?

Do you have any apps disabled at all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I'm on PD6, G920A. I've got some Samsung stuff and all the AT&T stuff disabled. That's it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I'm interested about force doze too. I've tried aggressive doze and it does help. Question, does force doze still work with power saving off?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

Do you use power saving mode? Do you have OK Google for any screen? Do you use any social media apps and if you do, do notifications get delayed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I have my power saving set to kick in when I hit 20% battery (not often). I have OK Google turned on from any screen including trusted voice. I don't use a bunch of social apps. But your reply to me through Tapatalk came in just fine. Most apps use GCM to deliver notifications and they're not usually interrupted by doze, so I still get YouTube, Gmail, Tapatalk, Reddit slide, G+, and hangouts notifications throughout the day without any delays. Can't comment on Facebook or Twitter as I don't use them.

Edit: And Google now still updates regularly in the background. Just without killing my battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Thanks. Maybe i can rely on force doze then
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
I got the 4 hours the first few days then it decreased to only a little better than the 5.1 build. The same thing happened on my nexus 7 when it got MM. Guess it takes a while for all the apps to get running again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
I'm not pulling consistent 4hr like on PC2 but i still pull 3-3:30 sot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] cuhrazy:
I don't get why its releases for the s6 and not the edge plus. Super annoying. Att sucks ass
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mcalistor:
Ditto. Perhaps AT&T forgot the S6 Edge+ was in their lineup? Somebody should reach out to them and remind them that they should start development on the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
I would assume because they sold more regular s6's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] mcalistor:
Very true, a price to pay for trying to be unique. :cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Pretty impressive sot. Spent about 3-4 of the hours streaming HBO at 70% brightness
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Pixa241:
Should all phones be updated already. Everytime I check for an update it says the software is up to date?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RoryB:
What is running on your phone now?

Did you make tweaks to it that would cause it not to update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Pixa241:
No it is stock Galaxy S6. Nothing has been done to it. What tweaks would cause it to not update? It is running 5.1.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gottech:
That happened to me once I had to call AT&T and they did something on there and and then it updated just fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RoryB:
I have heard things in addition to rooting are such as disabling apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Pixa241:
Hmm yeah not apps have been disabled and no root. I will call ATT and see whats going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] billp68:
Got official OTA today the 12th. Love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tibere86:
Do you have any apps disabled?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Only att apps. Everything else is enabled. Ok Google from any screen and location services. Location set to high accuracy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] atrmuh:
Phone just got an OTA update and it on G920AUCS4CPF1. any idea what changed with this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jnorthcutt:
I also just got an OTA update warning. I went to https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KB426709?make=Samsung&model=GalaxyS6G920A and found the following:

Update summary

Effective May 17, 2016, AT&T will release a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S® 6 (G920A). This update will be made available to customers to download via firmware over the air (FOTA). Wi-Fi connection is required for update.

Software update includes

Android OS 6.0 Marshmallow

Adds Video Calling

Removes Keeper, AT&T Live, FB Messenger

Adds Amazon to full preload

Moves AT&T Mail and YP Mobile to a Virtual Preload - See more at: https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...tep_KB426709?make=Samsung&model=GalaxyS6G920A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Wrong one. AT&T hasn't posted the correct info yet, but this update is the June security patch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero4:
The baseband is now PF1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
I see someone's utilising some new 6.0 features haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Same kernel thats on PD6, just with an updated build date.

Edit: Looks like the update fixed the auto-brightness in direct sunlight. No more strobe effect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
For anyone who needs/wants it, the OTA link is: https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48652/1488/SS-G925AUCU3CPD6-to-S4CPF1-UP

The file comes in at 53.6MB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sand_bit:
PF1 has destroyed my fingerprint performance. I performed a clean wipe, and now adding a fingerprint takes a minute or more, and fingerprints are not verified as correct roughly 4 out of the 5 times I use it.

Edit: I took a dive into the OTA updater script, and this line was particularly concerning:

apply_patch("/system/priv-app/FingerprintService2/oat/arm64/FingerprintService2.odex", "-", 2de08396342e1d053f9875c7e19b945385db7857, 418560, d5875cdae656c286edd962e0220ecd31f8b692bb, package_extract_file("patch/system/privapp/FingerprintService2/oat/arm64/FingerprintService2.odex.p"));

This means they modified the fingerprint service code. And from my personal experience, not for the better. Going to resort to passwords until another OTA fixes this.

Edit2:

It seems like they've added in a delay to raising and pressing your finger down when adding a fingerprint, and a minimum time you need to wait after a failed fingerprint authentication.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
It should be noted that the file you linked is for the S6 Edge (G925A), just wanted to clarify so someone using a regular S6 (G920) doesn't try to sideload this file.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sand_bit:
correct link, beware that it messed up my fingerprint sensor.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
I have the G925A and the fingerprint sensor works fine here, maybe you should try a factory reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
G925 here as well...fingerprint sensor also as snappy as ever after security update. Also of note, erratic screen backlight in sunlight also fixed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] extinguish:
I updated in my sm920a. My fingerprint reader works fine.

i can't find boj7 to boj9 working link ! help me and one more thing that, Is boj9 necessary to update to marshmallow or can i flash directly boj7 to pdc ? any help will be highly appreciated !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
You're right about the wallpaper thing haha. I'd only ever seen it on the S7 so I assumed it was a new feature. Are you saying that our AT&T phone will get the fast charging on off with 6.0? It's too late now though my battery is already fried. I know the international S6 has had that on off, but I assume AT&T would rather us fry our battery's so we upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I've had my S6 for 11 months and haven't "fried" my battery and I use fast charging all the time. Are you keeping the phone covered while it's charging? Or in a hot location? And I think sprint got the option to turn it off, so I don't see what reason AT&T would have with removing it. Either way that's carrier meddling and has nothing to do with Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
Using my Gear VR and then having to throw it on the charger or if I've just been using it a lot it gets really hot then goes right on the charger. I've factory reset my phone and tried a bunch of things but the battery is still a decent amount worse. That's how I came to the conclusion that I fried my battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Tigersfan1982:
Yeah my Sprint s6 got the Fast Charging on/off toggle
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Yup high heat will permanently damage your battery. Reason why Samsung added a heat pipe to the s7, VR.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

That's good to know, thanks. It'll be handy when my charger or phone is a little too warm. Happens occasionally when i start from a low percentage

Just chat with AT&T again,

They said: "We are sending out the update by area. We can't send all at one because it can freeze our systems. "
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
I wish I could believe that...
