Has anybody noticed now there's an option for turnkng on/off fast charging and it's off by default? Why would they turn it off by deafult?
[Galaxy S6 General] elinho:
Hur fick du tag på den officiella? Genom uppdatering eller flashat?
[Galaxy S6 General] H3llSp4wN:
Vodafone UK.

Full wipe after flashed the ROM.

Disabled a lot of trash apps wich came with the rom.

Any tip guys ??

Tks

Har alltid kört XEF från jag fick telefonen, Frankrike har betydligt snabbare uppdateringar än sverige. ladda ner XEF från Sammobile och flasha det med Odin redan på 5.0.2 :)
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
have you been Rooted before? seems like all the deepsleep problems are linked to root. also if you use a debloater app this can also cause issues with deep sleep if you deactivate the wrong app(s)
[Galaxy S6 General] Dr.Pepper:
4h 32m

No wipe after OTA update

XEF firmware
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
nice deepsleep.. with wifi on or everything off?
[Galaxy S6 General] elinho:
Nice! Ska fixa nu :) Tack!!
[Galaxy S6 General] H3llSp4wN:
I've triggered knox long time ago :)

The apps that i deactivated were things like facebook, skype, word, gmail, hangouts and stuff like that,

Its wired i think it's related with knox.

Wich kernel do you guys recommend at this point for MM?

Hacker?

tks
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
are you rooted now? have you deleted your cache? try to activate all the apps again and see if it`s the same. the original kernel is good(im all stock, never rooted)
[Galaxy S6 General] H3llSp4wN:
no i'm not rooted this time. just flashed the ROM trough odin, nothing more.

i've already flashed the french version let's see if the same happens again.
[Galaxy S6 General] CROrION:
Pleased so far.

- fingerprint reader is 30% faster

- there is pattern lock alternative to fingerprint reader

- there is no reloading apps while switching between in recent apps

-recent apps screen opens faster

- there is new share screen when you share anything. First it displays your recent contacts from whatsapp or mail, etc.

- there is control over shutter speed in camera

Very nice so far.
[Galaxy S6 General] mrjraider:
Update feels great.

Can't help but I dont see any improvement in SoT just yet. Will test this.

Fingerprint is faster! However the new lockscreen is horrible, I cant see the battery% in the statusbar, very small and black?

Don't like all the white in email, messasing and internet. This is an amoled screen. Why mess it up with all those white applications?

Music app is nice but the favorite song playlist is gone :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Dr.Pepper:
Wifi was off when phone slept
[Galaxy S6 General] wieslawz:
Did anyone check more than 1 6.0.1 ROM. I have VOD and it's cool, but I have a feeling that BTU beta was faster. I have now stuttering while scrolling webpages. Scrolling is totaly different than on BTU betta. Can anyone compare it with BTU beta or XEF? Is it my S6 or is it normal? I've done clena install.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
NO or NOW?

I have zero stutter on scrolling.. almost feel like (sorry for this all :D ) iphone scrolling just not as slow. the hole phone is way more responsive and with zero stutter IMO experiance.
[Galaxy S6 General] Biggenz:
I'm on Vodafone UK and nada so far!
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Made a quick video on the scrolling with a old crappy phone but you get the point :)

https://youtu.be/Hkw7l_PooSk
[Galaxy S6 General] wieslawz:
1. NOW.

2. It looked like this on 6.0.1 BTU beta. After flashing VOD there's this horrible stuttering.

3. Ok. I realised it's VOD
[Galaxy S6 General] arovik:
Anyone flashed XEF from BTU beta? do i need to mess with hidden.img??
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
I'm on XEF don't know about VOD
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
I've installed the VOD version and it's super smooth and nice and quick, over 1.3gb ram spare, but Knox isn't working, which I use.

Aside from Knox it's working great.
[Galaxy S6 General] morganiter:
I flashed the XEF 6.0.1 on my portuguese OPT SM-G920F, it was very fast on lollipop, but now, even though my Antutu scores went up from 77,5k to 80,5k, with marshmallow, I notice a delay while opening applications and entering menus, input lag is fine on the keyboard. I don't know what is causing this as I wiped cache and factory reset before and after flashing, but it is ruining the experience for me. Battery is fine.

EDIT: I didn't flash 6.0.1 directly, I flashed the french firmware and received 6.0.1 via OTA.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
have you turned down or off the animations? I have all mine on 0.5x and it`s stupid fast
[Galaxy S6 General] morganiter:
Yeah I did reduce mine to 0,5x, but the issue is not in the duration of the animation, it is in the time it takes for the animation to start :\
[Galaxy S6 General] oDin:
i am instal france 6.0.1....its flying :D
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
ok, don`t have that problem.. your not in power saving mode?
[Galaxy S6 General] morganiter:
Sadly I am not :|, guess i'll flash again when my original firmware updated to 6.0.1

EDIT: Just flashed actual XEF 6.0.1 firmware and wiped cache, seems to be a bit faster.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Quick little review:

So after flashing the official MM and took it for a spin, I'm VERY satisfied. This iteration of TW is cleaner than it was on LP. Samsung has definitely hit the sweet spot with this MM update. It feels like having a new device and boy oh boy, the performance is just ridiculously fast. Everything is now fluid. Somebody give them devs a box of beer. They deserve it! I can't speak for the battery yet though since its still new. With this update, I think there is no reason to upgrade to the S7 yet. Its just that good. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] ahadbukhari:
Guys, custom icons were supposed to have a white background in MM as it was one of the features or is it just for Edge version?
[Galaxy S6 General] roughavoc:
So I checked and a new version has been uploaded.

What version should we stick with? G920FXXU3DPAD or G920FXXU3DPB8
[Galaxy S6 General] Firaristt:
I'm on PB8 now. I'm pretty happy with that. I found a bug or smth like that. When power saving is active, notification bar turns grey. Except that, I miss bubble lockscreen animation but not a problem. Battery life is quite better than 5.1.1 for now. Because I updated and set all my apps and now %30 with 3h10m SoT in 18h40m. 3G is always on and used about 1h20m. Screen brightness is about %70.
[Galaxy S6 General] DO97:
In Android 5.1.1 when you open for the first time the sidebar in various apps there's a little lag, it's disappeared?
[Galaxy S6 General] the tech blog on insta:
Ram management is way better cofirmed!!!!!!!!

:)
[Galaxy S6 General] Shamako:
Amazing

Completely changed my opinion on the S6 - I was majorly dissatisfied with the battery performance on lollipop, but now the whole experience feels properly flagship level. With full & sometimes medium brightness (on auto) and WiFi on (no 3G/4G), Google Now & On tap disabled, i'm getting around 4-5 hours average SOT. This is really incredible because on lollipop I struggled to get anything above 3hrs SOT, even when I had minimal standby drain. 28% battery used so far, and I got 1hr 28min SOT! On lollipop, 30% usage would get me 1hr (if I was lucky) or less. Looks like this update was really worth the wait - guess I won't be selling my S6 after all. Fingerprint sensor working much faster and better than lollipop (same speed as 6.0 Beta), and overall smoothness has also improved. Now just waiting for root so that I can change my DPI and restore my TiBu backup, and i'll be all set. :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] senzatiOn-:
Just perfectly
[Galaxy S6 General] ammadb:
did you guys did a clean or dirty flash?

and prev rooted or non rooted phone?
[Galaxy S6 General] H3lli0n:
Hey maybe you can answer me ! How did you enable / disable Google On Tap. I was trying to enable it but can't find how ;-(. Thanks in advance !

For those who can't enable RAW mode in Photo App even with Pro Mode On you have to reset app settings :)
[Galaxy S6 General] abuserkadayf:
is there an existing root method out for the 6.0.1 ?
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
Is your system language English?
[Galaxy S6 General] arovik:
Will i have to do something special when flashing from BTU MM beta to French MM? I see someone is talking about some hidden.img stuff?
[Galaxy S6 General] H3lli0n:
No French why ?
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
only works with english atm, made the same misstake :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Ksk83:
Well, just installed it about 4 hours ago and so far so good. Fast,smooth and battery looking good, but I'll have to wait a couple of days to get a proper conclusion.

Quick question for you all - Have you checked the "Save as RAW files" option on the Camera? For me, it remains grey and I have no way to enable it. Is this normal?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
non rooted(0x0 knox) odin--> 5.1.1 lollipop XEF --->update OTA
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
you need to reset the camera settings
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
its not a bug, it lets you know that you are in the PS mode..supposed to be like that :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Ksk83:
Did not work :( Still grey . Not that I intend to use it , but just curious ... Is it available for you?
[Galaxy S6 General] furbzyo:
I downloaded the VOD (uk) version, the first thing i thought was, wow cool(yes i know it sounded dorky)but then i saw how fast the battery drained, when just playing spotify, and doing minor stuff. I had xtrestolite 5.1.1 v2.4 deodexed installed before i installed MM. Battery was awesome there, so i rolled back to that for now. Does someone have any idea how to fix the battery drain? or is it just firmware problem?
[Galaxy S6 General] omgomg:
So far you appear to be the only one experiencing worse battery coming from lollipop.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
you need to have the pro mode active
[Galaxy S6 General] Ksk83:
Great! Problem solved - Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
alot of rooted users get battery drain, the stock no tripped knox users are having a good time ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] SkyNineO:
It made the phone as fast and responsive as I imagined it would be when I got it back when it was released. I was thinking seriously on selling the phone and getting something else, but now I will keep it for some more time. Probably until the new Nexus-phone is released later this year.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Ok so here's my first charge cycle. Medium/heavy use.

FB,insta, 1h call,1h YouTube, a lot of browsing on 4G and took some RAW pics. 40 to 70% brightness and still have 32% left. Compare that to lollipop I get aprox 1h more SOT on MM 6.0.1.. also it drains a lot less in standby.. will post again when I'm on the last %. This update is awsome!
[Galaxy S6 General] dinamo1975:
Why Poweramp don't appear in notify bar?
[Galaxy S6 General] filipvelicki:
Battery life is amazing :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Sany789:
Any difference to Beta?
[Galaxy S6 General] BRiANj64:
Twitch audio-only broke with this update, the moment i turn the screen off, 3 seconds later the audio turns off, has this to do with the new Doze feature?

In the Beta this didn't seem to be the case.
[Galaxy S6 General] Polat67:
Are you guys who reported of a good/better battery life than 5.1.1 using the battery optimization Tool in the smart Manager app (if thats even included) and battery Saving Mode on or off?

Ah also which Display Mode do u use?

Standard amoled ?

Greetz
[Galaxy S6 General] filipvelicki:
Battery optimization turned off, battery saving mode turned off and i use adaptive display mode.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Doze on, no ps mode on. Consider this as heavy use on this cycle. 40-70% brightness. Also reconsider my battery as it is 1 year old. 1h SOT (easy) more on the 6.0.1 then lollipop.. I'm as happy as I can be atm.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Repost**

5h 2min SOT over 20h and 8min use.
[Galaxy S6 General] Tron666:
Its great! fast, responsive, stable, feels like a new phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] arjcba:
Hey guys,

http://www.androidcentral.com/closer-look-galaxy-s7s-gaming-features

^^

Does It came with MM for the S6 or is It a S7 exclusive?!

For me It is a really useful feature
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
Going to say that it's a s7 only feature.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Only s7
[Galaxy S6 General] Inelukis:
The core of this feature is already in S6, it's the Game Tuner. Samsung has just changed the UI and probably optimized it for the new engines. In the worst scenario, it will be possible to port it. In the best one, Samsung will release it after some time the release of S7.
[Galaxy S6 General] TeeKay35:
Is there a way to change the grid of the app drawer back to 4 per line?
[Galaxy S6 General] KennethHau:
Just flashed the French rom on my Dutch phone. It works perfect! seems Samsung fixed their ram management! ram usage is now about 60-70 % in stead of 80-90%
[Galaxy S6 General] AG22:
How is the experience with Google Chrome? Is it better than it was on 5.1.1? I mean, is the whole phone really better?

G920i here, hope MM arrives till the end of the month.
[Galaxy S6 General] doxiarski:
I just flashed XEF and oh my God... This fingerprint scanner is fast as hell. Software experience feel smoother and more stable. Samsung did great job but it has taken too long for them to do it. Anyway I appreciate this update.
[Galaxy S6 General] mgfjd:
Does mm come with wifi calling this time?
[Galaxy S6 General] thegtfusion:
It's better than the beta. I flashed xef via odin over the btu beta. After I performed a factory reset, csc still btu, so no bloat like fb and messenger as system apps!
[Galaxy S6 General] Merken_:
Flashed French XEF over LUX.

Very happy with the performance of the software, fingerprint scanner is faster and love the pattern unlock fallback mechanism instead of the password on 5.1.1 TouchWiz.

TouchWiz is faster, settings menu is more intuitive, browser is faster.

RAM management is between 60-70%

Overall : Very satisfied, can't wait to see what ROMs the dev's can cook up with this release =)

NO root

NO KNOX trip (0x0)

NO Data loss

Stock ROM
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
use the stock browser, it`s way better than chrome and now comes with ad-block feat since MM update. it`s a completly diffrent phone all together,
[Galaxy S6 General] Thant:
I like that they bring back direct call widget. No need to use third party apk. Nice
[Galaxy S6 General] Tron666:
I second this.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
What about camera api2. Is it fixed?
[Galaxy S6 General] WolfsFang:
Yeah but the stock browser dosent have all my login info for sites unlike chrome.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
the Samsung camera has shutter control and RAW with 6.0.1 update. don`t see why you will need camera api2?
[Galaxy S6 General] nvrmndryo:
Shutter speed control? Wow! I thought it will never come to s6. How long we can adjust shutter speed?
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
10sec if im looking at it right :)
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Update*

ok so iv been fiddling with the phone a hole day and here is some that have been changed(atleast for me)

*Lollipop delay when getting a notification from social media like FB,insta could be up to 5sec until it opend the app when tapping on the notification in the notification panel(curtin). this is now instant!

*The warning when turning off the "mobile data" is now gone.

*Shutter and RAW comfirmed

*you can have up to 30 changing pics on the lockscreen.

*no keyboard lagg with stock samsung keyboard.

*new emojis.

*now on tap

*better RAM management(by a mile!)

*no stutter when scrolling

*ad-block in stock browser(add-on feat)

that`s the biggest changes I noticed so far.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheWarKeeper:
Because with lolipop all custom camera aps that used camera api2 on galaxy s6 were broken, all pictures came out very blurry and selecting exposure would sometimes shutdown the entire application, this happened with all camera api2 camera softwares.

The reason why this didnt happen with the normal samsung camera app was because the normal samsung camera app didnt use camera api 2 and was severly limited by many manual settings factors.
[Galaxy S6 General] aegeuss:
I will only say one thing; S6 should have been put to market with Android Marshmallow in the first place, what a performance and usage difference!

thx Mate. I can confirmed all this.

But where you have the adblock option in Stock Browser. I flahsed XEF Version and haven't any Option like that?
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
you need to download adblock fast or crystal and under settings in stock browser. Settings-->advance-->scroll all the way down and there will be a option to use the adblock app you downloaded
[Galaxy S6 General] nlab:
Stock browser is now faster than chrome on the new lg g5 in kraken and octane benchmarks
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
Anyone getting slow laggy keyboard in Gmail and Facebook on MM? I flashed VOD version and keyboard is slow in those apps.
[Galaxy S6 General] CROrION:
Jap 10sec
[Galaxy S6 General] Thant:
and direct call widget is back too
[Galaxy S6 General] hare89:
Guys can anybody try this behavior...

Open messenger app and leave it opened on main screen opened and lock screen and than after a minute try to unlock phone...

I am experiencing really slow wake up when app is left oppened on main screen so can somebody test this too

..
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Tested, no such issue on my phone. just as fast as ever :)
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
I use stock Samsung keyboard, not even a hickup noticed
[Galaxy S6 General] lsalamun:
God damn it is so fast, i can't believe how good this update is, the battery rocks also, great manual controls in camera, just, it is great!!
[Galaxy S6 General] RaimoL:
Dirty flashed XEF over NEE and everything works fine and smooth. But I'm not that impressed over the battery life so far... dropped 10% over night, had better on Lollipop. Maybe it´s a bit early days yet, will maybe settle down i a while... If not I will do a clean install, or factory reset but I don't want to loose appdata.

Is there any good way of backing up program and data on a unrooted phone? I'm used to do it in Titanium but I don't want to root this one and trip knox...yet :) Are the Samsung or Google built in backup services any good? Have never used them to restore things...

/R
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Did sunspider vellamo and kraken benchmark on a not so fast wifi (don't know if that matter or not?)

*edit for comparison - My S6 - 3067 (lower is better)

Kraken: G5 chrome - 3341

Mate 8 chrome - 3667

S7(8890)- 2569
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
10% ? over 8h sleep I get 3% dropp with wifi ON.. there must be something wrong with your phone!
[Galaxy S6 General] markoxda:
3% I have on Lollipop

You may also need to do a factory reset ... it is recommended after big updates ...

first backup of course ...
[Galaxy S6 General] 1samek:
I flashed XEF over my branded T-mobile FW and then installed OTA. Everything is awesome, blazing fast, battery good BUT I have some wi-fi issues!

Got a ZTE router, looks like everything I open it has lag / high ping. Example - takes 10 seconds for Play store to load images, or 15 sec to open YouTube clip - it plays fine, but takes ages to load... seems weird to me.

Everything is blazing fast on 4G/LTE mobile data, loads in seconds! So it has to be wifi related.

Does anybody else has similar issues?
[Galaxy S6 General] RaimoL:
Yep... but I haven't changed anyhing, just the dirty flash... Propably need a factory reset or clean install. As soon I find a way of backing up without root. Helium seems to be a good option.

/R
[Galaxy S6 General] DO97:
In Android 5.1.1 when I open an app and click on the sidebar for the first time there's a little lag, it's resolved?
[Galaxy S6 General] RaimoL:
Had about the same on Lollipop with everything on, BT, WIFI, Sync... Thats why I'm not so impressed :) But for shure something must be wrong, need to reset the phone.

/R
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
if you are reffering to a newly started phone it`s normal since it needs to put everything in to memory after restart. every device running an OS will eventuly have its lag and stutter... no OS is perfect.
[Galaxy S6 General] DO97:
I know, but I mean after restart.

How about Samsung browser with slow Internet connection?
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
what about it? slow internet=slow browser (obviously)
[Galaxy S6 General] DO97:
Yes, but I noticed that Chrome is "faster" than Samsung Browser with slow internet.
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
well, since my browser benchmark on Kraken is faster than LG G5 with a SD820 on chrome I would say it`s pretty fast.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonah Hardy:
I'am surprised about the MM update, because the Internet 4.0 with fast adblock brings my internet much faster than chrome. Will we see the ''Always on'' feature in the near future?
[Galaxy S6 General] chicote69:
I agree. It's amazing. Very very fast.

[Galaxy S6 General] big_adventure:
Dirty flashed the 6.0.1 French version (downloaded from Sammobile) on top of a rooted (obviously knox-tripped), debloated 5.1.1.

Everything I have tested works perfectly. Everything is smooooooth, memory management is mint (even with all the tuning I'd done before, I could still force the LMK to kill an app with ease - not anymore), battery seems fine for the moment (needs more testing there).

Sammy really seems to have done a good job with this update.

Strange, my phone dropped maybe 5% over 8hours sleep last night. Wifi, Bluetooth and Location enabled.

I'm still on UK firmware beta 6.0.1, didnt get official yet.

Is it only me?
[Galaxy S6 General] cdx47:
There is no UK firmware yet. We are all flashing either Vodaphone or French unbranded. Romania, Cyprus and many other smaller countries received their updates this morning.
[Galaxy S6 General] TeeKay35:
wtf i want that too :crying:

which version of the S6 do you have?

i have the SM-G920F
[Galaxy S6 General] johanbiff:
Same, 920F
[Galaxy S6 General] TeeKay35:
Then there has to be an option to change it.

EDIT: Found it, the app-drawer has the same setting as the homescreen, so if you change that to 4x4 its the same in the app drawer.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheDKGunner:
I'm sooooo frigging ?... Flashed XEF this morning and did full wipe. On my first full battery circle and have 50% left with 3+ hours SOT ??? And this while setting all apps up, a lot of playing around with voice commands, search and stuff... And BOY this thing is smooth and fast now... Like a brand new phone ?

I'm having some overheating issues. My cpu goes to 50°celsius when just scrolling on fb or chrome. I don't experience battery drains or something unusual in battery usage. I didn't have this issue on 5.1.1 and i didn't do factory reset after OTA and i don't plan to. Is the factory reset the only option?
[Galaxy S6 General] Aleskdesousa:
Little disappointed about one thing : no transition/animation when you unlock the phone (like fading between the lockscreen and the homescreen) it's ugly...
[Galaxy S6 General] Lucoso46:
So fast. Lollipop for me was okay, but Marshmallow is super fast. ? i experienced battery drains.. dunno how but Vocal Calls take more juice than SOT.

I hope now is all regular.. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] black_ps:
Now on tap is not allways working..has a lot of bugs. I did factory reset after update.
