Hello people.
I have update my phone (Galaxy S5 SM-G900F) to android lollipop 5.0 and I have noticed that the heart rate sensor lights up even if I don't use S Health.
Do anyone know why that is happening.

Galaxy note 4 Android 5.0 POOR Signal

Hey Guys,
I Bought my Galaxy Note 4 a few days ago " In Kuwait - Arabian Region " and I updated it to the new Samsung release Android 5.0 for Note 4, and I have been having POOR/SLOW Signal on my note 4 compared to my old Xperia Z1.
I get low signal and slow data internet I have checked with my coworker and he have the same issue on his phone, but an old Mobile Phone such as the Xperia Z1 with lolipop doesn't have this issue :'(
Does anyone have this issue or know how to fix it
I tried to :
Hard Reset x2 times
Format Phone x2 Time
Cleared Cache 3x Times
Kies firmware recovery tool ( One Time )
And all of them didn't do anything or improve my Signal
Having the same problem here with BOE1, 2 & 3.. it's modem related i suppose.. if you're still on BOC something don't update to any of the BOE versions.. try flashing the BOC5 UAE firmware.. had the best reception with it
I have the same problem in uk. My iphone 6+ was great everywhere.

This has been my experience with the Note 4 as well (I've had it for over 6mo). Whenever I use it I miss/drop calls frequently and data connectivity is spotty at best. Unfortunately if it weren't for the continuously weak signal, this would be a perfect device for me. Even my Nexus 5 has a significantly better antenna/radio.
Agreed. Last week I was on a picnic in the mountains and all of my friends had signal/reception on their phones (moto g first gen, htc 8x...), except for my note 4; not to mention, we have the same carrier... Was quite disappointed tbh. Oh, and I am still on BOC3, as it's the latest official software here.
it's modem related i suppose..
Same issue after upgrading my 910f to lollipop, though I had the same issue with a LG G3 after upgrading that.
I'm in a weak signal area most of the time, and have gone from ~1% time without signal to ~15% without.
That is strange? Have you tried restoring your Note 4 to it's base factory settings?
Same here although if I switch off 4G it's better.
Hi, i change my S5 to the note 4 and doesn't notice better performance, battery last the same.
But i notice reception is worst than the S5.
Because im all day data on and today i see only have 2 bars at home when S5 is always full.
Really don't know what to do.
Top phone S5.

It happens to me too. At first, I thought it was a new feature of the Note to save battery or something like that, but now I see perhaps is a bug, and a common one.
Im now changing for a new one in the store and if it does the same i will change for the s6 or lg g4.
has anyone who has updated to 5.1.1, and was having this issue, seen an improvement?

Thank you!

Game launcher official available...more coming?

Today s6 and note 5 get the game launcher available on galaxy store you have to download game launcher and then you will download game tools within game launcher
Will we expect more features coming to s6 like always on display and new grace ux with Android N update?
We have to wait for the answer of the question

Don't get your hopes up about Always on display feature, S6 will never ever get it officially.
But with the Grace UX, there's a great chance that it will come to S6 and S6 Edge before the Android N's official release.
Also, Samsung's S Health app has just recently been updated with new look, as Albe95 says it's "Note 7 Grace UX S Health" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68122799&postcount=1673) so as you can see, this is just only the beginning and we can be sure that the New Grace UI will be on S6 and S6 Edge before you know it.
Cheers!!
:laugh:
Yeah grace ui probably but no always on for sure...

Always on display is a gimmick and battery drainer! I never turned it on again after 1 month use in Nokia Belle (which was better than the Android's counterpart) and still not impressed by it. My phone's battery life will never be enough
What if i dont have the galaxy app store?

Samsung recently pushed out an update to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge that brought along Samsung Cloud, a new feature that the company debuted with the Galaxy Note 7.
The updated Gallery app has Samsung’s new Grace UX interface, but more notable is its inclusion of face and object recognition.
The improved Gallery should be making its way to other flagships in the near future, and so should the entire Grace UX. The latter will probably arrive with the Android 7.0 update, although we’re hoping Samsung will port specific Note 7 features through minor updates following up to the release of Nougat.

What do game launcher?
Samsung recently brought two new features from the Galaxy Note 7 to the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge through an update in Italy, and the company is now pushing out the same update to consumers in India. Both devices are getting an over-the-air update sized at around 150 MB; the update brings the Samsung Cloud service and also the new gallery that features face and object recognition.
The update also improves performance in games that utilize the Vulkan API and the response of the touch screen. Power consumption improvements are also on-board thanks to optimization to Smart Manager. A couple of bug fixes are included as well, with a fix for the flashlight/torch not working properly and for problematic cover recognition.

It seems Samsung is slowly releasing the updates. We might just get these updates for S6 and S6 Edge before 2017 comes.

Weird bug

I'm not really sure where to post this issue.
I tried posting it on the ARtoolkit forums but there were no replies to it.
So I'm developing a simple augmented reality game using ARtoolkit. And it works on almost all android phones but on some S7 and S7 edge phones it gives a very weird result.
Here is the sample scene (slightly modified) from ARtoolkit (

Result on LG G4: (how it's suppose to be)

Result on Samsung S7: (same apk but very diff results)
i.imgur.com/Tj2VObx.png
I've been trying to find the cause of this issue and haven't had much luck. It works normally on LG G4, Samsung S5, Samsung S6, Samsung Note, xiomi V.
And the weird thing is that it works on some S7's. It works on the SM-G930F but it doesnt work on the SM-G930T.
It works on the S7 edge SM-G935P but doesn't work on the SM-G935F.
I thought maybe it was the processor but both the 935P and 935F have the snapdragon.
Anybody know what could cause this?
