I get lte service. The icon just never says lte. If I dial *#*#4636#*#* I can see that I am on lte network for sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
I get an LTE icon on PD6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sugardaddy1979:
Interesting.... Wonder what my deal is..... Are you using good lock?

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

I ditched good lock and now I have lte icon.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:39 PM ----------

Reinstalled good lock and no 4g lte icon. That's definitely the issue, but I really like good lock so..... Whatever....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
just saw they updated Good Lock to 24.0.8:

http://www.sammobile.com/2016/05/09/samsung-updates-good-lock-brings-more-customization-control/

Maybe try the new version. Looks like they fixed a lot of issues from the updated description.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sugardaddy1979:
Thanks. That's the version I'm on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] iceman4357:
Then I retract my message. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] robikonobi:
I was having massive battery drain as well when I first migrated to marshmallow (pd6). Here's what I did to fix it (it is awesome now):

1) install greenify and turn on aggressive doze

2) turnoff voice over lte (i.e. enhanced lte)

3) install the samsung package disabler (no root needed) from the play store and disable all the bloat.

4) disable facebook and facebook messenger and install tinfoil (which is a web only version of the facebook app).

5) goto "data usage" under settings and for each app listed disable background data for each.

6) install wakelock detector light (free)...it works now with marshmallow without root but you will need your computer with adb and/or chrome to get it setup. Then you can monitor the wakelocks if any.

7) after everything, make sure you reboot for the changes to take effect.

My phone is sleeping like a baby now...much better than lollipop. It is sad that you have to take so many steps to get the phone to sleep properly. I love android and my s6, but there is no way an average consumer would have this kind of patience to tweak their phone when it should have been setup this way by default. For comparison, my work phone (an iphone 6) sleeps well by default without any tweaks, but i would never trade it for my s6 (which can do so much more than the locked down iphone).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ffwd4490:
Be careful with Helium, It refuses to restore my messages, even though it tells me it was successful...........
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero4:
Yea, I have that issue too. Good thing I backed up with both!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
Actually I had done most of these and even with aggressive doze enabled the phone was draining quickly. I didn't setup wake lock detector though but it was still draining, for now ive disabled facebook and fb messenger and i'll report back later if this resolved it or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] robikonobi:
The other reason why wakelock occurs could be your wifi network. There are broadcasts that can wake up our phones. For example, Bonjour on your home computer can wake your phone periodically. Similarly, FIOS set top boxes do MOCA broadcasts that wake up our phones as well (regardless of whether or not the set top box is connected to your lan via cat 5). The app (network log) can sniff your wifi network to see what may be waking your phone, but unfortunately you will need root for that app. Alternatively, you can just use wakelock detector and just compare your awake time using wifi vs lte and see if there is a difference. Hope that helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I tried using Wakelock Detector Light, but it didnt work for me. Everytime I opened up the app to see it would just say "error". I tried adjusting all settings, rebooted, let the phone sit all day, mes with the settings some more... error every time, so uninstalled it became.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] robikonobi:
You need to connect it to a computer and install the chrome extension that enables the wld functionality for marshmallow phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
:facepalm:

Okay thanks. I may try doing that to see how it works. It sounds like a useful app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
I sideload ed PD6 last night and it's really cool! There are a couple things that I don't like... Mostly that you can't change your text bubbles anymore. But other than that, some general getting used to will make this so great! The fingerprint scanner is so quick, and everything runs well. I hope this is the final release because I don't wanna sideload a third time lmao.

Back to a release prediction... I don't even know anymore, like... If PD6 ends up being the final release, it's gotta be in the next couple weeks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jmsaye:
It's definitely good lock because I got the LTE indicator on regular touchwhiz, but after installing good lock it only says 4G too.

Edit: doh you already came to that conclusion. Well, here's further independent confirmation I guess :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sugardaddy1979:
I did more reading. This is the case on all devices using good lock. Guess Samsung doesn't bug into the branding hype.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] nsmith4:
Looks like att pulled the PD6 update from the site. Hopefully they did that to put it out to OTA soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
They probably decided they had enough "beta testers" (us). Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Lol gosh dangit of course that happens the day after I sideload.. Hopefully whatever the final version is we can easily patch up to, or just Odin back to OJ9
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
On another note.... we think the wait we have had for MM on AT&T has been bad, check out this link to the update page for Rogers Canada

http://communityforums.rogers.com/t...-id/OSUpgrades/message-id/1/highlight/true#M1

Obviously AT&T is in a competition with Rogers to be dead last. lol Imagine what the winners trophy will be....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Wait wouldn't that mean the opposite of them getting ready to push it out? I mean you'd think they'd keep it up if it was coming out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] nsmith4:
I'm hoping that to put it out for OTA they move it or protect it so only OTA authenticated requests can get it. I could be completely wrong with that assumption though but I hope not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
I hope too. I want PD6 to be the final build so I don't have to patch up to a new version or Odin back to OJ9 lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero4:
Did anyone post mirrors for the downloads? For the people who want this but didn't get it before?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Does anyone know where I can get the files to Odin back to OJ9 if PD6 isn't the final release and we can't find a patch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] KoubaK:
Has anyone seen OTA updates yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
Fyi: supposedly the PD5 to Pd6 link is back up

I've noticed on PD6 a glitch where split screen multitask doesn't work right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Explain more please. Works fine on pc2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ¿Will-it-Blend?:
Really? I'm on PD6 and it works flawlessly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I wonder if they are needing to keep the PD6 name for document or certification reasons, but took it down and replaced it with an updated version? Seems weird that it was gone (their server didnt go down) and then it was back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
Perhaps... does anyone who updated to PD6 more recently have a build number different than MMB29K.G920AUCU3CPD6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Id be more interested to see if someone runs a line check between PD6 from last week, to whats on the server now to see if there are any changes in the code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] s629c:
Pull the script and I'll do a diff check
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DaHui623:
Can't I just move the .zip file to the phone's internal storage and apply the update from recovery and not have it wipe my phone? Has anyone tried this? I've gone through all the pages from this post but can't remember if anyone has tried.

Edit: Nope.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Hmm, neither https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48653/1488/SS-G920AUCU3BOJ9-to-U3CPD6-UP or https://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48653/1488/SS-G920AUCU3CPD5-to-U3CPD6-UP is working for me. Looks like they removed the files again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] nsmith4:
Someone on Reddit noticed that the samsung page has been updated to saying we are getting the PD5 update. No date but all mention of the PC2 are gone. Wonder if that means were getting PD5 instead.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Dante087:
BOJ9 to PD5 is still working... wonder if they decided they didn't like PD6 and we are getting PD5 as the final... anyone know what the difference between the two was?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DaHui623:
The spreadsheet of software updates on that page removed the entry for Marshmallow that previously was listed at the top.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
The S6 Edge+ also lists PD5 as its latest version: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00043774/997418903/SM-G928AZKEATT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:
So I was placing a call while connected to WiFi and I walked out of range right as the call connected and there was a pause and a small grey bubble at the bottom that said unable to place call over WiFi. So I'm assuming we have WIFI calling. Although I thought someone said we didn't. I'm on PD6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DaHui623:
Mo Versi from HTC just announced the One M8 & M9 for AT&T received approval to start pushing Marshmallow tomorrow. Could we get lucky and get it tomorrow also?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00038783/997495268/?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000279

Maybe this means they are updating the site to show a later build and we will be getting the OTA update soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ian1:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
This one works and says PD5: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ans00038783/997516271

Which MM build are you using? Did you have to enable something to get wifi calling? Do you have VoLTE on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Omg itll be so messed up if we get PD5 instead of 6 ?what do those of us on 6 do?? Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RoryB:
Probably ODIN back to OJ7, sideload OJ9 and get the OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
I looked at the full Odin restore to oj7 thread but the Dropbox link is dead. If PD5 ends up being the final version, I'll just stay on PD6 until another OTA shows up for something important, or unless this is a new version of PD5 with an important feature missing in PD6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] txwho:
Also noticed that there is a SmartSwitch update. v 4.1.16052_2 so maybe with updated SmartSwitch and updated webpage then it is coming soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Why, I wonder, would they not go with PD6 though... It's been working very well for two weeks now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
I think once the official version comes out, we should be able to odin to that version like we can OJ6 right now. With it being a full OS upgrade, they should have a full system image.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:08 PM ----------

Since PD6 was 200MB larger than PD5/PC2 was, perhaps it was all network testing stuff added or something... and now we roll back to PD5 because PD6 was really PD5 with added testing stuff? IDK I'm grasping at straws lol. I always found it weird that PD6 was larger than all the other MM builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
That's an incredible point that none of us have thought about lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
Of course PD6 also had the May security patch that PD5 lacked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Which makes me wonder why they would've bothered putting in the May security patch if they weren't gonna release PD6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Been running PD6 for quite a few days with no issues. However, while driving home today with the phone connected to my truck (Chevy if it matters) and streaming Pandora, Bluetooth on the phone randomly shut itself off. The truck reported Bluetooth connection failed, and when I unlocked the phone and checked, the quick setting for BT showed off. I toggled it back on, the truck reestablished the connection, and Pandora started back up.

Battery on the phone was somewhere between 80 and 100, and it was plugged in.

So far, this has been a single isolated incident, but wanted to put it out there in case others see it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
What security did PD5 have? I thought they were built within days of each other?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
April
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dpw2atox:
If it is pd5 that's officially the ota I will personally stay on pd6 until a time that a new update is released, I see no point in wiping my phone to lose security.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
What this guy says
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sand_bit:
Actually both PD5 and PD6 have a security patch level of May 1.

Edit: See here, when I reviewed PD5 I noted that it had a patch level of May.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66681359&postcount=613
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Did you do any further comparisons between 5 and 6?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] sand_bit:
PD5 was smoother than PC2 for sure, at least in terms of play store scrolling. But with PD5 I suffered from a forced reboot, during which the phone had its microphone stop working and became very hot. Only one mind you, but I sideloaded PD6 and wiped after that, and so far haven't had any more forced reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
So it'd be... Weird of them not to use PD6 I would think
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Red5:
Nothing about this whole update situation has been normal or logical.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
This is true. At&t's HTC phones are getting the MM update tomorrow, so looks like its not quite our time yet anyway...

But the way I see it, I'm not gonna be the only person who sideloaded PD6 and wants to get back on normal OTA living once it rolls out. So I should just keep my eyes peeled and the answer will present itself when it happens.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] gottech:
I have noticed the past few updates that the updates roll out before the support page is changed. I usually find out by xda or engadget. If AT&T doesn't update to a version above pd6 I am definitely staying on pd6. I am liking my battery life too much to downgrade. I used greenify and shut off location. Enhanced late voice is still on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] GLIMMERMAN76:

Didn't the phone come with 5.0.2? That's just silly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] txwho:
Well I know ATT wants us to just go and buy a new device so that we can get the MM update, but for our devices to have been last years Samsung flagship device we are getting messed around. It is pathetic that we are not getting the update. Buyer beware if you get a carrier branded phone then this is what you have to look forward to. Samsung has released MM but ATT is trying to boost their sales by trying to force us into buying new devices. So is this how ATT will treat the S7 owners a year from now?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] troyboytn:
Absolutely.... The S7 as well as the upcoming Note 5 will be treated the same. Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, and Verizon will have Android N on all their devices 3-5 months before the first AT&T sees it.

AT&T can cry and squawk all they want about "testing to ensure the best experience" but I do believe at this point and time that we know the truth. Force another upgrade to get another kickback $ per device from Samsung by holding back OS and security patches....

I just posted this to the above thread on ATTs site. Maybe some other folks from here should post there as well. Here is what I posted.

Well I'm glad someone at ATT is at least acting intrested. I posted this elsewhere but here it goes again. I'm not taking it out on you Kevin but can you get a few answers for those of us who have an Samsung Galaxy S6 devices.

1. Does anyone know why the Samsung update page keeps changing. One day it days we are getting PD2 next day it says PD5 now it says BOJ7. Almost every other device is getting updates.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ans00038783/997516271?CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000279

2. Is this how those of us who bought a flagship Samsung device a year ago should be treated?

3. Is this how people who are buying the current flagship devices now will be treated six months to a year from now?

All we are really asking from ATT is to be a bit more transparent (this thread is at least a start) and at least give us some kind of updates on what is going on with OS updates. Is that too much to ask ? I can understand you may not know a definative date but don't keep us completely in the dark.. I can't speak for everyone but with what I pay a month for the four cell phones and one tablet the least you can do is provide me as well as the other S6 users who are feeling the same way with some answers.

From the AT&T forum, a question from ATTKevinCS:

I sure hope [MENTION=2758630]GLIMMERMAN76[/MENTION] doesn't reveal his source for the "beta" OTA updates! You know the Death Star will close that loophole a heck of a lot faster than they can release this update....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] skew:
I hear ya! I hope "our little secret" doesn't go public that will be the end for side loading any new builds or updates. We will have to go back to clicking "check for updates" like the regular people and waiting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] Jpak88:
Lol well glimmer already agreed to share the info :p it's okay for PD6 though, enough people have saved and uploaded the file online that it's just out there. Plus Kevin is just a CSR, I highly doubt he has the power to shut it down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
FYI, I'm getting the best battery life ever on PD6 after disabling the Facebook app! I finally figured that Facebook was the main source of my idle battery drain.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] General_Mayhem:
Sorry if this has been asked. I literally just traded in my 920T for a 920A tonight. I updated my TMo version via Odin. Do I flash OJ9 to PD6 the same way - by putting that lone file in the AP slot in Odin?

Like I did when I wrote up the instructions for the 920T here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] MNDaveC:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] GLIMMERMAN76:
I have the builds saved to my server so i'm not worried if we need them. As for ATT shutting it down they really can't since we can keep finding the links.

Read on Reddit that the S6 has the highest crash/failure rate of the 2016/2017 flagship phones. Maybe AT&T is trying to help those statistics so people will trade up. Seems plausible if they took down what seems to be a very solid version with PD6. Trying to make a crashy version. Conspiracy?
