My Galaxy S3 (2012) runs a newer version than the S6 with Lineageos14.1. Thats why I love Apples Software Support. The iPhone 5s started with idk iOS7 oder iOS8 and it got updatet to iOS12 a few weeks ago. A phone from 2013!
[Galaxy S6 General] King-V:
What? Aren't you aware that the S6 has a fully working LineageOS 15 (and while unofficial, it works quite well)? It also has modified versions of it in the forum, like NexusOS and Resurrection Remix.

We have LOS-like Oreo ROMs here, at least 4 of them actually. The thread is about TouchWiz Oreo ROMs. And I very, very much doubt that such a ROM exists for either the S3, or the S4 which the comment before you mentioned.
[Galaxy S6 General] kapiszon53:
Actually S6 has way better custom rom scene than most of samsung devices and even flagships
[Galaxy S6 General] blairo_1226:
Sry my mistake, though it was an aosp thread loll I scroll a lot between threads. My point was about a fully stable oreo rom, camera with no bug. I don't want start an off topic, delete my posts

Here I made a video of s6 running oreo port
[Galaxy S6 General] Johan132:
Samsung stupid? I'd say they are pretty smart. Where's the business in continued updates of old devices? That doesn't make them money.

I doubt whether the S6 will get an Oreo update, regardless of what some client service reps say (how much info do they really have after all?), but it would be nice when a device with the same chipset would get an official update. That would be a helpful source for S6 developers.
[Galaxy S6 General] Izy:
i mean 1 already did
[Galaxy S6 General] LollosoSi:
So is our device getting oreo or not?
[Galaxy S6 General] KoreFO:
NO.
[Galaxy S6 General] LollosoSi:
Great. I feel like it's time to change device
[Galaxy S6 General] 2weekenders:
They really need to consider how they support phones with 36 month contracts now seemingly normal!

My S6 is still within my two year contract; is it unreasonable to expect support to last the length of contracts?
[Galaxy S6 General] BaTarrY:
In most countries , like Israel, tele companies can't can't bind you to stay. It is illegal for them to do so.

So you can buy the phone and just walk.

If they want you to stay they have to be good so you want to stay, that's it.
[Galaxy S6 General] TWeaKoR:
You can do that in most countries as well, however most people prefer to pay for the phone as a kind of loan, ie they pay more than the value of the phone over 2 years on top of their phone/text/data plan. Some providers even split the bill and allow you to change your phone finance plan separate to your calls plan.

If you buy the phone outright you're not tied to any network regardless (except if you buy it from the network, but they should provide you an unlock code).
[Galaxy S6 General] Flukester69:
BS. Broken bluetooth audio, no VOLTE and closed RIL. Where do you get off saying it's fully working? Great for people who don't use all the features on their phone but far from fully functional.
[Galaxy S6 General] King-V:
Bluetooth audio works. I was just listening to some music on bluetooth headphones a few minutes ago.

Pretty sure closed RIL is a matter that can't be fixed.

VoLTE, yeah, but like RIL, pretty sure that can't be fixed.

Fine, then. I'll rephrase myself. Fully functional, except for two things. Happy?
[Galaxy S6 General] Flukester69:
dude.. Bluetooth audio for calls doesn't work. for lots of people that's a huge thing. for me on the road..huge. your claim of fully functional is not true. plain and simple.
[Galaxy S6 General] Johan132:
I still don't believe a word of any statement saying that the S6 will be updated by Samsung, regardless what customer service reps say (what do they know?).
[Galaxy S6 General] CroGamer1:
I hate to admit it but Oreo won't certainly arrive. We would have at least seen some leaked pictures or some new confirmations by now.

All we can hope for now is that Samsung will follow OnePlus's footsteps and update the S7 to Android Pie. OnePlus confirmed that the OnePlus 3 will get Android Pie
[Galaxy S6 General] Daniel-Kozhalo:
You think they will update this device?

We close to galaxy 10 already..
[Galaxy S6 General] aljo2207:
Today samsung confirmed oreo for me,on chat support

[Galaxy S6 General] Dtd131001:
Well Samsung Support in Vietnam says that they had no information on the oreo update, so guess we should wait then.
[Galaxy S6 General] Droehnemeier:
Hoax
[Galaxy S6 General] tres0r:
Support in Germany also says that there are currently no information about an oreo software update
[Galaxy S6 General] schneefritz:
It's not going to happen. That's just not their support policy and wouldn't be profitable for them.

The weird thing is that they just don't say "no, it will not get oreo."
[Galaxy S6 General] CroGamer1:
It actually makes sense. If they told that, some people would get angry and refuse to purchase their products which in the end means less income for them. A lot of people actually think that the manufacturer (Samsung in this case) stops supporting products because of hardware limitations while the real reason is financial.
[Galaxy S6 General] Droehnemeier:
Samsung don't give a f4ck in customers opinion and they ever behaved like this.
[Galaxy S6 General] schneefritz:
I still think it doesn't make sense because no device has gotten software updates for that long. It's normal, people are used to it. Nobody would be surprised if they just let it be the way it has always been. The weird thing is the rumours that are spreading. But maybe it's just fueled by some Samsung customers not wanting to let go of their beloved S6.

I onced had a HTC One Mini 2, it was a year old when HTC announced, that there will be no support anymore after a year! The ****storm was big, of course. But this situation considering the S6 is just normal in the Android world, nothing special.

[Galaxy S6 General] xDestroyer354:
They told me as well that it'll come by March 2019..
[Galaxy S6 General] :
please stop making this ridiculous comments , this device is not supported anymore and will get no update to oreo. This thread should be closed, probably it should never been opened.
[Galaxy S6 General] xDestroyer354:
No I'm serious they told me that on chat support but the guy seemed very confused. I went as far as going to twitter in asking them, when they said they can't speculate on future updates. I told them what web support told me and they were like "different support departments" :confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] schneefritz:
I'm totally with you. It's really getting ridiculous. I would also like to see this thread closed.
[Galaxy S6 General] vgironov:
Guys just stop this waiting, this is the real and final answer of Samsung (The one who answered the email, UK")

[IMG="Android Oreo S6 Answer"]https://i.ibb.co/cv3j7k6/Sin-t-tulo.png[/IMG]

I request to close this topic, since it won't get any update anymore, Android 7.0 Nougat is the last for Galaxy S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] laarajkh90:
Unfortunately this wouldn't happened!!! :crying:
[Galaxy S6 General] JoseCaique:
Whatever the reason for discontinuing the software update for the Galaxy S6, Samsung has an uninteresting business model, I think it could in the long run (2, 3 or more years) get upgrades and not discontinue.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoseCaique:
Update coming up but no sign of new version of Android.
[Galaxy S6 General] Droehnemeier:
No new version, just a Security patch.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoseCaique:
That's what I said.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AnuthaDev:
Xiaomi implemented anti-rollback feature ( more like a headache) with miui 8.7.6. In this thread I will tell you my experience:

So, I was just browsing through mi community and this post about anti-rollback caught my attention. I wasn't much concerned about it and thought why would someone want to downgrade their phone, I didn't read it completely and that was my mistake. So, you see I had flashed miui 8.7.5 from twrp and did ota update of 8.7.12 to save data as ota is smaller. Now I don't know why but I thought of installing Xposed on my phone. I flashed it and my phone entered bootloop. As this was not knew I calmly booted to twrp and flashed the file of 8.7.5 and pressed reboot.... 1 sec nothing, 2 sec nothing, 3 second nothing and in the 4th second I realised what I had done. I had become a victim of the outrageously implemented anti roll back feature. I left my phone and the next day I found it was alarmingly warm. It stayed warm for like 36 hours and then the battery died. I didn't have time so my phone was a paperweight for 1 week. Then on Saturday( this incident happened three weeks earlier on Sunday) I took it to the middle service centre. Actually around the same time as me a YouTuber named "tech star shahrukh" had bricked his device and posted a video telling how he got his motherboard change. I was sure that service center guys would ask me to pay if I told them the actual reason, so I told them my phone got dead when updating to miui 10. The guy told me with great confidence that they will repair it in two hours, I said ok. Here comes the interesting part. Now I being one of the more stupid personality had actually washed my phone under a tap a long time ago and that had lead to water in my charging board. He told me that I will need to pay 800 INR for the repair, thankfully the motherboard had not got water( they have these little white stickers that turn red on water contact). So I paid an advance 500 and waited. After about 3 days I got a call saying my sub board( charging board) was replaced and any further repairs would come under warranty. I was happy. So after exactly one week of submitting my phone and almost 2 weeks after bricking it, I got it back. Motherboard changed and with miui 9.2.4. So, that was my experience with anti roll back. Thankfully I replaced INR 8000 motherboard by paying 800.

Now it is showing 9.2.13 update, but I won't update. I have had enough of xiaomi. 2 weeks without my phone is just not worth a feeble security feature. So, what are your thoughts on this?are you happy with the current implementation (absolutely not). Suggest how do you think this feature should be implemented.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] d1g1m4n:
So you washed your phone and what it has to do with ARB?

Or if I do not understand you right, correcr me.

Arb was implemented for people to stay on latest firmware, as any manufacturer wants to owners be, I totally agree with that, except it was introduced silently which lead to many troubles. Personally I think there was major security bug in previous rom, thats why they changed arb to 4 in that firmware.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AnuthaDev:
Look, actually I had washed my phone a long time ago. So there was no damage but the sticker above the sub board had turned red indicating water damage. My phone was working perfectly even after washing. I bricked it due to anti-rollback when I tried to flash 8.7.5 over 8.7.12. xiaomi has a policy under which if there is liquid damage to a part you need to pay for it to get replaced. There were two stickers in the phone, one over the sub board and another over the motherboard. Only the sub board one had turned red, meaning I had to pay for the sub board replacement(INR 800), So the service centre people first replaced my sub board and then they realised that the phone's motherboard was also messed up, so they replaced it under warranty. I hope you understand now. Washing had nothing to do with arb, just that it made me pay 800 RS.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] d1g1m4n:
Okay great, congratulations. But before every flash better be sure what you are doing. And in case of Xiaomi better get full permissions account before any flashing
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AnuthaDev:
Right man.

But I still think it wasn't implemented properly. Don't you think that wrecking the motherboard just for a little mistake of flashing a lower version too much? They should at least allow us to disable it. Not everyone is lucky enough to get a motherboard replacement for free...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arunmohan16:
Same for me. After bricking the device, board was needed to be changed and got it changed under warranty. Something strange happened after change of board, Internal memory got reduced by 4GB and RAM by 40MB. Xiaomi will push update 9.5.19 with ARB V4 even if auto update is off. Check internal storage for downlaod_rom folder. It will get automatically updated during sleep time. Replace the downloaded update file with a text file with same name to stop the updater from triggering it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incogn:
I dont understand whats the problem.. In my eyes only mistake by xiaomi was introducing ARB, and only after first bricks releasing official statement.. apart from that its a good feature. Normal users will never face any problems, as they are using official builds, and never go downgrade route.. Users like you, who unlock bootloader, flash beta roms, dev roms, god knows what other roms, should be skilled enough to not break their phone. I mean if you cant follow simple instructions of NOT downgrading bootloader, maybe this whole thing is not for you... By unlocking bootloader you agree with possible damage, no one else is responsible but you. Btw you dont have to change motherboard, all you need is account with permission to flash rom. In the end, all roms gonna be ARB 4, and this whole thing gonna be forgotten. Oh i also was ARB 3 and aware of this whole situation, but updated to .19 ARB 4 rom without fear, because as i said earlier, if you know what you are doing, this brings you no trouble at all..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Kalyan8106:
I unlocked my bootloader and flashed redwolf twrp at 9.5.19.0 stable and after I flashed miui 10 8.6 beta my device is bricked I went to service centre they changed my motherboard
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Abusayeed91:
Did you flashed xposed through Magisk or twrp?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arunmohan16:
Why people downgrade the miui rom? Answer is simple. In each and every new update, new bug is being introduced. When I was on 9.2.4 only issue was with audio over headphone. After each new update and now on 9.5.17 the issues I face are heating during youtube through firefox, When Connected to pc through mtp, folder access is limited. I use ADM do download files and it will be inside adm folder. if i need to access the files, First it should be copied to download folder from adm folder using file manager. ChromeCast gets disconnected often during 9.5.17. Screen mirroring gives artifacts. Audio over Bluetooth is low. Now after anti v4 anyone who wants to go back to much stable version such as 9.2.4 will be bricked. Once in anti v4, there is no way to get back to anti v 3. even to work simple fast boot commands of anti 4 , first dummy file is needed to be flashed which is rather annoying. Last miui version with anti v 3 is 9.5.17.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] AnuthaDev:
I have no problem with arb, I have a problem with the way it is implemented. Agreed that we should be careful while flashing roms but hard bricking the device does not make sense. What if even xiaomi accidentally releases an update with anti lower than 4 or we get a buggy update and want to revert. They should at least allow us to disable it or provide us an easy way to restore our device(using our mi id in some tool like mi flash). I understand that it is a security feature, but it has not been implemented correctly. They should have gone the Google way...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incogn:
Because OEMs are strictly regulated by various institutions, unlike developers. And even tho i love LOS, RR or any other custom rom, in 10years of flashing custom roms, i never had one that was more stable and bugfree than original OS that came with phone..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
"Stable" is a relative term. My current custom ROM (Bootleggers) is very solid and probably has more features/options than MIUI ever will, I'm sure. More importantly, I know it doesn't do things behind my back and will not turn on me (eg. anti-rollback, etc.) down the road. Above all, quite often, custom ROMs get security patches long after the OEM has dropped support for the device. My $0.02.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incogn:
Stable is not a relative term. Stable is stable, with all functions working, not crashing, and not having bugs. Features is different topic, stability and features are different thing. Most often the more features, the more trouble you have. You say its very solid, but if you go to thread and read comments, there are many different bugs and problems. You will never find that many different problems in official miui :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
I have had zero FCs/crashes on my ROM. It's as stable as they get. And I trust it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incogn:
Good for you then :) Sad about that bug you reported 2 days ago lol. Same for me with official firmware, which was created by same people who designed the phone and chose hardware :). I mean i dont understand whats your point. Custom rom is better? If thats it, then 95% of owners will disagree, because they have no idea what custom rom, root, or unlocked bootloader is. Official roms are for casual users, who want phone to be reliable, simple, and functioning. They happen to be the vast majority of buyers. Custom roms are either for tech junkies, or people who like playing around with their tech and dont rely on their phone daily. If you discourage trusting companies like samsung, xiaomi, etc., why are you thrusting google? Its their OS after all, they wrote it. Sure, its based on open source linux, but its still googles code. You use google apps, that have all the permissions in the world. What can OEMs possibly take from you that google already didnt lol?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
Thanks for contributing.

The "bug" was actually a misconfiguration on my part, not the ROM. I rely on my phone and use it daily with no issues.

XDA is geared towards the 5% that know what a custom ROM is and can make the choice.

I don't trust Google. I don't use Google apps. What I use is open. I've got microG installed so I don't leak my info all over the place. Custom ROMs allow you to do that. Official ROMs don't.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incogn:
Oh i agree to that, but still dont understand what your point was then..? And what does it have to do this topic?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] temporarium:
This is not the first device, nor the first OEM, that does things in an underhanded way, where you can never be sure if the next upgrade is going to take your device to a point of no return. My point being that the experience with ARB will (hopefully) alert other MIUI users to what may lie ahead and show Xiaomi that they don't approve. Just an opinion. ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incogn:
But the ARB has no possible way of harming normal users. Its the users who unlock bootloader and start flashing beta, dev roms, going back and forth that gets in trouble. And they agree to risks before doing so. I dont think xiaomi or any OEM gives a **** about small modding community, they think about majority of users. And even this failed implementation of ARB, from point of casual user, is not really failed, as it poses no possible threat to them and only increases safety. OEMs restricting modding community is nothing new, its always been this way, and it will only get worse, thats just how it is. Xiaomi is nothing special in this regard.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] darth.cabs:
There used to be a time where owning an Android phone meant freedom. It's Linux, so you can do whatever you feel in your heart like doing... Rooting, modding, installing custom ROMs. Life was great. Then Google decided that they should control their users much like Apple did. In a short leash. So they created mechanisms and more mechanisms to a certain point where nowadays you can't even decide not to accept their upgrades, let alone downgrading. And people still think it's fine, after all Google knows better about how I should handle my phone, which is my property.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MikiGry:
Idea was good. Xiaomi"s implementation ... not so much
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] minilandl:
Honestly as long as you know about ARB before rooting and flashing ROMs you are fine I've Only tried custom ROMs. The only thing you gave to do is either use a fw less version of miui or don't downgrade past the point where ARB was enabled. Or once you've upgraded don't downgrade it's fine. Sure it's a bit of an issue but at least Xiaomi us releasing sources and letting us unlock the bootloader which a lot of other OEMs don't let us do.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Hurricane Andrew:
My son's S6 Active recently stopped charging wirelessly. It used to work flawlessly with a Seneo 3 coil charger, but last week it just stopped charging. It can still be charged via Micro USB, so its not the end of the world, just frustrating.

Few details:

It does not suffer from the "wireless charging paused" issue where it will start and stop. It just never even starts charging wirelessly.

We have used several different wireless charging pads/stands with the the same result. All of these other wireless chargers will charge my stepson's S6 Active and my S7 Edge without any issue, so its not the chargers.

Even when the device is turned off it will not charge wirelessly, so I doubt it's a software issue that a factory reset would help.

I'm guessing this is all pointing to an internal hardware issue, but has anyone else even heard of this? Everything else on the device is fine, no other issues. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem! Would be great to get a solution to this. For me, the pop-up only seems to appear when I have Wi-Fi turned off. Whenever the pop-up appears, it minimises the app I'm in, too, which is really annoying because I use Google Maps in my car a lot, and I like to have the Wi-Fi off so the phone doesn't keep trying to connect to Wi-Fi networks that require authentication.
