[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] drbongles44:
After I updated my phone to 6.0.1, I did a factory reset. I couldn't be happier. I use fingerprint unlock and have my phone encrypted. Since the release (4/11), I haven't had any issues with battery or performance. I did notice that the auto-brightness seems to be more aggressive than Lollipop. One issue I didn't like was that when I used All-In-One-Gesture to enable double-tap to sleep, I had to manually type my password every time to unlock the phone. I think because of my security settings (allowing an app to have permission to lock the screen), I wasn't able to fingerprint unlock unless I manually turned off the screen using the power button. Otherwise, I don't mind entering a long password every time I turn on the phone.

In standby, my phone would drain 15%-20% over 8 hours each night while I slept. With MM, my phone drains less than 5% each night now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
Anyone having problems with LED notifcations not working? It works when I'm charging, but not any other time. It is turned on in settings>display. I also made sure notifications settings for my apps were not blocked. Weird. So far I'm unimpressed by MM. Alot of things don't work right, like LED notifications The battery improvement is negligible. I was getting 5% battery loss overnight anyway. I didn't do a factory reset before/after upgrading. Maybe that will fix my problems.

Update: I fixed the LED notification by doing a factory reset in recovery. Now I have to reinstall everything :( . My phone is stock by the way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] iwasblown:
it works pretty good all around ui is smooth it has a refined feel compared to the older updates
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ummduh:
Battery life has been MUCH better for me.

Rooted+ Xposed. I even disabled the location wakelock module I HAD to use in LP, and it's still much better. SOT isn't really effected much, but screen off + listening to streaming music has more than halves battery usage for me, along with idle time.

Tthe phone is much smoother, and I have not experienced any lagging (have animations turned off, though). Plus, finger print unlock is tons faster. LP always lagged hard for me there, now it's almost as fast as the wife's 6s+.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] trungctu:
I got a small issue with unlock function.

If I made screen of my hard button, I could use fingerprint to unlock the screen, but if I used 3rd-app to make screen off, I need to use back up method - PIN to unlock the screen.

Does anyone face the same issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] djbutter:
Received the OTA update. I'm on stock.

Battery life is *slightly* better, but it's nothing to write home about.

The auto-brightness has been updated, and I feel it's not for the better. It seems to dim/brighten aggressively, and/or not work at all. It's been irritating.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] drbongles44:
I have that problem too. I forget which security setting it is, but basically it requires you to enter your password whenever an app locks the screen. I don't think there is any way around it. I uninstalled all my apps that lock the screen, except greenify, for that reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] trungctu:
Me too... back to stock "easy touch" and wait for next update...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] POQbum:
Great update

If you stick with the stock marshmallow update I think you will be happy. You are able to root it also without a problem.

If you make sure NFC and WiFi are turned off (When you're not using them) I personally have seen better battery usage than Lollipop.

I'm running the stock rooted marshmallow and it really is a beautiful update with a bunch of enhanced features. I would recommend.

As a bonus, it also gives your phone a radio update (which allows it to better contact T-mobile's towers).

If you really want a boost in speed, you should lookup changing your APN settings to force your phone into IPv4, because currently your phone will default to IPv6 which (at least for me) is a tad slower than IPv4.

Good luck and have fun messing around with the new update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
yeah I'm with you on that.

Another thing that is annoying me, and maybe there is a setting to turn this off (if so please tell me as I've not yet found or really looked into it yet)...

It used to be that when I opened a link it would prompt me which browser or or program I wanted it to open with. I actually like being prompted each time because sometimes I want this a bit more secure and so would open with Orweb vs. Google.

Now it seems that once I select and option it becomes the default option until I go in and change it.

Otherwise, I'm enjoying it. I'm rooted running xposed and viper etc.

I really do want my gradient status bar back though...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
The extra swipe lock screen is the result of a new samsung security policy. Using fingerprint to unlock the phone bypasses the extra swipe screen, so I started using fingerprint unlock. Then I discover Samsung won't allow fingerprint unlock if you use apps to sleep (turn off screen). The app I used to double-tap the screen to sleep violates samsung's new security policy, hence fingerprint unlock won't work. So now I'm stuck between 2 choices:

A: Fingerprint unlock (no extra swipe screen) and use power button to sleep phone

B: Swipe + pattern to unlock, but I can double-tap screen (via app) to sleep phone​

Ugh. Stupid Samsung. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Anyone successfully updated the G920TUEU3COK1 US factory unlocked version to marshmallow and can comment on their experiences with that version of the handset? I believe the actual hardware is identical to the tmo version, but there is less software bloat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] redz1234:
My wife just got the MM 6.0.1 update to her GS6 and absolutely hates the extra swipe within the lock screen... wish there was a way to disable that.

On my Note5 I'm using the Fingerprint scanner so I dont have this annoying extra swipe screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] M3wThr33:
Broken auto-brightness really pisses me off. The flickering in bright daylight is just really annoying.

If you install Good Lock from the Samsung App Store, the swiping issue goes away.

After hours of working on my PDA I finally brought it to live and managed to revive it but found a ROM of a P550 which just made me able to access the PDA.

The speaker and other functions are not working, it does not detect the GPS tool.

If any one has a P350 PLEASE upload a copy of the ROM!

If any one can point me to a place where I can find a ROM for the P350 I will be for ever greatfull.

It cannot enter download mode, recovery mode or boot into system. The only screen is this. Even if I try to press the buttons.

It started when I was trying to flash via box.

[MTCB Android Head Units Q&A] JrFaust:
I have looked through some code for changing volume and sending other key presses and I saw or at least it looked like com.microntek.irkeyDown was being used to change volume to a set value. Is that correct? Sorry if this is a bad question I'm just dabbling with coding but from what I could understand it looked like com.microntek.irkeyDown was only to simulate a key press like vol- or +, home, back, and so on not to set a value.

I also found some code in MTCManager referencing VolumeController think it's intent is com.microntek.VOLUME_CHANGED but I couldn't find/decipher if that was really the intent it is looking for. And this may very well be the case I am way off with my Tasker coding to send an intent to it.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Is there a list of known intents for our head units?

Thank you for your time,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BizzaroChris:
So I scoured this website and Google search to find the answer to my dilemma but no luck. Here's what I have going on. I recently got this tablet for 99¢ from AT&T. It was unbearably slow so I decided to root it so I could get rid of some of the bloatware. Used Kingroot to aquire root. That went fine. Next I wanted to install SuperSU. That also went fine. Used root checker app and everything worked great. Root access with SuperSu. Then I needed to update the binaries so I did that and it was successful. Now I know I was supposed to uninstall the Kingroot and associated installs that came with it however, after the binaries were updated and before I had a chance to remove them, the tablet rebooted. When it started up, the LG screen came on as usual and the the AT&T ball screen came on. The ball rotated about 2 times and then froze. I rebooted a few more times and the same result. I don't know if this issue was caused by me not uninstalling the Kingroot stuff. I tried a factory reset but that doesn't help either. I can get it into download mode but I can never get the USB mtp driver to download so it won't recognize it on my Windows 7 desktop. Even if it would recognize it, I have no firmware to use with it. I tried using the LG flashtool, LG mobile support tool, LG bridge etc. I am not a noob as I have rooted many devices and am familiar with installing custom roms through recovery or using fastest and command prompt. If I could somehow find the stock firmware for this somewhere I might be able to get it up and running again. I just want to know what my options are and if there is anything that I can do. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] drumz0rz:
That's pretty bull****. I wonder if you can hem and haw enough to get them to wave the fee. For example, if you go into a VZW store, they're not going to try to charge it to you until the tech has gone through the effort of getting a new phone, moving your SIM, activating it, etc. If after all that, they try and stick you with a $20 fee and you object, they're going to have to undo everything they just did, which is a huge PITA. If the tech's have any leeway, they should be able to void the fee for anyone who complains about it. I guess we'll put it to the test soon when the HTC 10 comes out.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jnvdh06:
We waited more than a year for the A5 2015 edition to get roms, and there are only about 2 serious developers working on it. It is likely that you will get very little to zero support for your phone, even less if you have the Exynos variant. If you want big custom rom support, buy a flagship or a Nexus. That is the best thing you can do. And what I have realised is before you buy a new phone, first search the XDA forums to see which is more popular and which have the most support.

If you get a chance, can you try with screen on & verify if you see what I've found that QC3 charges then at 1A & QC2 at 0.3A above 35c & 0.6A when cooler than 35C.

If so, it confirms that the real tangible benefit of QC3 is if you charge with screen on frequently, eg in a car would see a big boon.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] happyharrysco1:
seems strange they have stepped away from the usual cc/cv li charging routine. is this a QC change?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
I'm still in the midst of collecting data for the next presentation. There are a lot of permutations to go through, with a couple of cables and chargers.

In the meantime, I did confirm [MENTION=3471230]stuart0001[/MENTION]'s observation that with the screen on, QC3.0 charges at ~1000mA, seen below (yellow band means screen on, green means AC power charging):

I didn't charge it all the way, just for ~30 minutes, but each measurement during that time did show the same charging amperage.

Also to add thoroughness, I have ordered a USB current/volt passthrough meter to more accurately report what happens.

More to come!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikey_sk:
i find that the cheap as chips Samsung fast adaptive (2we version) charger you can get for around £5 on ebay works perfectly with the G5 and it recognises it as a fast charger.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
It's easier on the battery so you might get more life out of it.

QC2 charges as fast as it can then slows.

QC3 charges as fast as the phone will allow.

This can have a bearing on battery longevity. How much longer is debatable since you're still using QC which will be more stressful than non QC. The stock charger might not be QC but it is a fast charger and 1h30 is about std to from from empty to full with it.

See this

less than a year and its replace battery time. Fortunately, not a big deal on LG's :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuart0001:
[MENTION=2562936]waylo[/MENTION] Thanks for that excellent write up.

Picking up on the Qualcomm advertised estimate. It's disingenuous at best (I'd say they're being fraudulent) . They state in small print that it's based on the 0-50% current, so how they can justify extrapolating that instead of using the actual time is beyond me.

https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] waylo:
Haha, that is very very sneaky of them. Seriously, why don't just extrapolate the first 20 minutes (40% then) and say it'll be full in 45 minutes then?

Getting some weird results on the USB meter trying to measure QC3.0 through USB-A to USB-micro cable with a USB-C adapter on it. Do you have one to try with your voltmeter?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuart0001:
Yes I have. I can have a look later. Something else I've noticed occasionally, but need to try & repeat, is that even different USB-A to C cables are giving quite wildly different voltages on the same charger.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Am more likely to trust those cheap meters because they have proven to be invaluable in diagnosing charging problems with older devices. Software based tools proved to be not very useful with fault finding.

So getting 3A in software and the meter reading 2A implies an error of 50% with the meter. That is way too high an error. Don't believe it.

It's good to have both as a check but i'd side with the meter. It isn't faulty.

---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:08 AM ----------

Usual BS claims in the tech industry...once people start poking around the real picture emerges.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuart0001:
It's a trick one. However the reported values in apps seem in step with the % gain and battery capacity. ie it's 2800mAh capacity so at 3A you'd expect 50% charge in 28 minutes which is what you get.

Also, the meter reports output but won't account for usage drain & won't give the net +ve charge current the battery is actually receiving.

It comes down to the correct measure for capacity should be watt hours. I suspect the software reports must be using a fixed internal volt number & applying that to the received watts to give a mA figure.

Ultimately, if we think of the mA software #s as really a relative guidance simply on how fast it'll fill 2800, it's as good as any real life measure

4:30 onwards.

Says he got from 5% to 91% within an hour with the stock charger..

That would be faster than QC2.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuart0001:
That's bull**** I reckon
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
From the last page.

At 90 within the hour.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuart0001:
I stand corrected. ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
So is there any need to get additional chargers and cables ? What compelling arguments can be made to support that.

why not just use what came in the box :)

I don't believe LG would intentionally supply a charger & cable that could be harmful to the G5 despite what Benson Leung says.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] stuart0001:
Regarding the current discrepancies.

I put my phone in aeroplane mode & killed all running apps room minimise background draw.

If I multiply the Amps by Volts of both meter & 3C app (mV/1000) to get Watts, I'm generally getting a fairly consistent 15% higher on the meter. This is likely due to adapter compensating for efficiency loss of the cable & some draw used by background apps.

So both methods appear to be accurate in their own way.

I'd say the meter is good to assess it's maximum wattage & the voltage range but if you want to know how quick it charges the phone, software is best.

---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

If you use the phone a lot whilst charging, above 32c with screen on, QC 3.0 is significantly faster. In fact I've seen QC 2.0 not even be able to supply enough for a net positive current.

For me, after seeing the results, in car at least is a must for QC 3.0.

Screen off they are near identical.

The voltage granularity of QC 3.0 may mean slightly prolonged battery longevity but no really an issue when we can swap batteries anyway.
