Early 5.1.1 review by sammobile - Galaxy S6 General

This is why to root and install custom recovery. As soon as somebody puts up we can all have it. Instead of waiting for if ever carriers want to etc.
http://www.cultofandroid.com/73789/this-is-android-5-1-1-running-on-the-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge/

Is just me or that A-Z on the app drawer is already present? I have it on my phone. T-Mobile

On some variants it already exists. Mine's not one of them (SM-G920F).

Options for removal of the S-Finder and Quick Connect buttons. Finally, without a build.prop workaround.

No mention of ram/memory management fix.
Reassuring.

My app drawer is A-Z the EU unbranded does that if you want to flash it, ....XEU
I literally don't know what sfinder and quick connect are. putting them in the way of everybody doesn't make people press them.
Yes what is going on with the memory? too many apps stay and causes a crash eventually music stops playing doesn't look for next chapter of audiobook. But everything reloads whenever you go back. The worst of both worlds.

It's a feature of 5.1.1, do people not understand its a general android problem on 5.0.x, not just Samsung, and 5.1.1 on any device will fix those problems.

The only thing I care about... Will the HORRIBLE RAM management issue finally be solved as promised by Sammy?? It is unacceptable that a 2015 flagship (especially with the specs of the S6) can't hold more than 3-4 apps in memory!!

Ram management is S6 specific. Memory leak is Android 5.0 specific. The S6 has both.

Exactly color fade leak it's not as bad as the worse memory management in s6 rom's.

So.. If they have and installed it - why is it not on xda yet ?
Seriously why isn't it?
Double seriously - I don't think they're running the old tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge leak either from their findings.

I was thinking on purchase the Galaxy S6 Edge after they fix the RAM Managment, but it seems that samsung is going to left all users with his poorly multitasking. Yes, it is an early build, but coming from samsung Idk what hope. It seems the only good multitasking phones now are the HTC M9, LG G4, Zenfone 2 and iPhone 6/6+ (Yes, iOS doesn´t have "true multitasking", but who cares about when you can have a good amount of apps in background without one closing for itself). Now Idk if wait or purchase some of the other phones

You're right, to have a 3GB smartphone and can't use multitasking it's ridicolous. Why the didn't put 1GB of RAM at this point

I'm wondering if this ram management issue is really an issue or an exaggeration that is subjective. I mean I've had my s6 since last week. I can multitasking and switch between apps just fine according to my usage. Also it's a pretty release ...if it really is an issue at be it's something that would be ironed out by release

Same, I have no issues multitasking or with apps closing on their own

Try to use tapatalk, goto your desired forum and open 2 or 3 more apps. This will probably reset tapatalk. Heck, I've used feedly > Chrome > screenshot > back to feedly and feedly would open from a cold start.
Past weekend my gf was taking down notes in church on Samsung memo - left the app and came back to find all her notes erased because the app closed. Ridiculous.
It's just not pleasant to use. And to say the s6e's camera is good is still only about 2~5% of daily usage.

It is a REAL issue for a High End ~$1000 phone with 3GB of RAM that in reality appears to have less than 1GB. I mean, with 3GB you don´t even mind about if the apps are going to get killed or not, it is the last thing you hope for a device like this.

Don't buy the Samsung Galaxy S III (yet) see my screen

This Software is still full of bugs.
The screen below (sry is dutch) shows a screenshot of my Galaxy SII and my Galaxy SIII.
Both run Android ICS
Both have about the same apps installed.
but my SII has 458 MB of free ram and my SIII only 89 MB free ram.
This causes a lot of crashes with the touchwizz.
For a phone costing more then a regular laptop I find this very disappointing.

Might be some of the apps are causing the phone to crash. How was the phone prior to you downloading those apps?
So you are saying not to buy a S3 yet because you are having issues with it? Sorry to hear you are having issues with yours but mine works great! I don't have any issues like you & maybe you should start researching on rooting & using custom ROMs.
Since you didn't specify if you are using a custom ROM or stock, I'm going to assume you are using stock. When I was running stock, I didn't have issues as you either.
Don't cry wolf!

I call complete BS on this whole topic. They are not running nearly the same kind of identical software and the SGS3 has ran great in my hands compared to my Skyrocket.
There are plenty of SGSII vs SGS3 videos and articles on the internet. Don't let this topic discourage you. Do your research.
On my homescreen I have Beautiful Clock widget, FOlder organizer, 5 folders full of apps, Google voice widget, Gmail widget, flip board, pulse, active apps widget, S Calendar widget, Music widget, Negative colors, assentive light, google search with a live wallpaper (Captain America).
I don't have any lag issues and I haven't noticed any reload issues. Maybe because I sold my Skyrocket and used my Captivate for a long time and the homescreen might be loading way too fast to even notice a reload, but from what I see I have experienced such problems.
Already a few topics on this and tips on how to make the most of the RAM you have.
LOL! Dont buy a pentium pc (yet). My 8086 is less buggy and more reliable. Same goes for my 1988 Ford Fiesta compared to the new new 3 series BM.
That image is showing that your Galaxy S III actually has less usable ram than the Galaxy S II.
I'm assuming your Galaxy S II has a custom kernel, with extra RAM tweaks and more ram allocated from somewhere, no?
Actually, I'd pretty much bet money that it does.
Want a clean comparison? Flash your SGSII to stock, and re-check your RAM
EDIT: Also the reason for the SGSIII having less free ram is because more apps are currently running. Whereas it's clear that your SGSII has less apps running.
... iv also read before that the more RAM being used, the better - better to have the RAM utilised than not with Android OS.
Well I get 2gb or ram.. can I still buy it? Lol
It's nothing no one can say about this phone that will stop me from buying it. I don't care if you get instant diarrhea by touching it. I'll buy it along with some Depends.

Hey, windows got better at this with 7 and, I assume, 8. Microsoft seems to be embracing this ideal.
May I be so bold to suggest that you should not buy a house. It could burn down. They have not yet find a solution to build a house that is fire proof.
Also..do not stay inside a house. you could get killed from fumes, pollutants and worst, from the house falling on you!
What about the car you drive? You might get a bad tire, brakes not working, engine exploding, etc.
I guess and I hope you get my point! If not....you need help..and badly!

Ok ?
Wait .. Isn't that a good thing , no bloat - ware ...
A couple of months back Samsung signed an agreement with Google that they will try to reduce the modifications to the stock Android experience
I think this is the result of that agreement.
The only 4.4 ROM out right now is for the Columbian Wi-Fi version. It could be the same ROM as for other markets or it may not be. Magazine UX is still on the N10.1-14 microsite where it first appeared after the Pro's started shipping. It may mean something or it may not.
http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/2014galaxynote10.1/feature.html
If it does end up permanently missing I won't be too upset. When M-UX was first shown at CES I thought it was cool because there were a ton of widgets and you could create tiles for any installed app. In and of itself it could have been a potential alternate UI. What was released with the Pro's was completely neutered. From three home pages with one being the main home screen it's been reduced to one tagged on at the end of the traditional TW home pages. Most of the widgets left are just modular pieces of My Magazine which means it went from being a hidden pull-up to mandatorily consuming a home page that could be used for other things instead. I use all my home pages so wasn't keen on giving one up to M-UX in its current state. It's not even called Magazine UX anymore. It's now "Content Home."
There is a downside. I was kind of hoping the N10.1-14 would have been made s/w compatible with the Pro's to increase the frequency of updates received. If M-UX and other UI-based features from the Pro's have been left out we'll end up being an odd duck and 4.4 might be the last major update we see. It certainly won't help update timing, that's for sure.
Time will tell...

If I wanted AOSP I wouldn't have spent what I did on a tablet that has more added on top of Android than any other device on the planet. You'll find this shocking but some folks actually do use the N10.1-14 to get work done and a lot of that "bloated crap" is what makes that possible.

My bad. But this is a mixed forum. 1/3 actually use the N10.1-14 as a creation/productivity device as Samsung intended. 1/3 bought if for the high-end h/w, stripped it bare s/w wise, and I guess use it primarily for consumption and gaming. The other 1/3 are somewhere in between. What pleases one group pisses the other off. To each their own.
S Pen and s/w combined are more important to Note purchasers than the h/w. Even the Samsung brand is more important than h/w. Maybe not on XDA but for the rest of the masses that make up 95+% of Note sales. TW won't win any design awards but it does provide a level of functionality, especially on the Note's, that makes having it a positive; at least for me.

We actually agree. Before M-UX got neutered I was cautiously excited. Mostly for the interactive widgets that could be potential productivity boosters and getting more content on each page. As it stands now it's just a space wasting news feed. The Pro's also lost Samsung Hub which we'll retain. Samsung's videos can be stored on external SD and played back in Pop-up-play which is great for long trips.

The version of M-UX in the N12 is crippled like described above. Here's a thread from the N12 forum that discusses what's missing along with a kind of schizophrenic discussion on how to (theoretically) get the missing components back. People in the N12 forum are trying to figure out how to disable/remove M-UX so they can get a normal home page back. The grass is always greener...

I'm in the "who gives a ****" crowd. It's a bloated gimmick that'd be used one time and abandoned.
Hancom Office
The only thing I'm hoping for when the 4.4 is eleased for U.S. is the Hancom Office software. Won't loose any sleep if they exclude the Magazine UX. I had a Pro 8.4 and a Note 12.2(to big) and really didn't like it.
I have the note 12.2 and I dont use magazine ux. Actually bought nova prime finally for it. Like barry said if it had been released like it was at ces I would have loved it. But as it is it is nuetered and boring. It is still pretty sexy looking imo.

Ha .....yeah that sounds awesome. I had unlocked Note 2 for over 2 years was in hangouts with a dev fkfmfz so I always had fresh black gapps and themes ....as well as awesome tw roms ...soooo nice...then I saw this deal on a DE note 4 I couldn't resist. Its a great phone don't get me wrong, there just isn't the Dev interest in a phone or manufacturer that is so locked down. I remember when Adam Outler quit unlocking Samsung on Verizon....sad day.

As far as for pushing for online storage, you best believe it is the government pushing for it. If your info is hidden they can't randomly read it if it's on your memory card. No conspiracy theory, just a fact. Seems like Samsung is trying to imitate Apple. This Note 4 will be my last Samsung device too. I'm tired of locked bootloaders, moving towards no extended memory expansion and non-removable batteries.
Those specs are nothing special.
Probably won't even bother.
This note 4 is my first Samsung device and I do enjoy it but I'm with you guys, this well be my last one. Most of my experience has been with team iPhone and I left it because the specs on this phone were so great and I used to have an Android device way back in the gingerbread days and wanted to get back to using different roms. Although there are things I like about this phone, this has been a big disappointment for me. Even if root is achieved with in a couple days, weeks, or months my upgrade isn't too far off. I'm either going to go back to team iphone or maybe give sony a try, I feel like they may be on the right track, they are making their boatloaders more developer friendly.

In all honesty it's because with the introduction of lollipop google is moving towards the direction of not using SD cards anymore as we have seen. Manufacturers are just following along as well. With that too they are just adding larger memory to the phones to help make up the no SD card as seen with the s6

Follow me @ootpapps for more timely Android updated for the S6!
Coming soon sounds worse than a definite month like June.
No, they set it to coming soon when it's near approach date. This happened with the Nexus 5 update.
Coming soon means within days or a couple weeks at most, it's their lowest date range.

If you're asking this question seriously, I would say probably right around when the S8 rolls out. The S4 got 5.0.1 a few days after the S6 was released - so it seems like we get about 2 years of update coverage. That seems pretty reasonable to me for a two year old flagship (or more than reasonable, given that I last about 6 months per phone).
looking forward to it , i just hope pinpong root will be supposed

I think they may mean whether or not the new ROM has it... I don't think Rogers does anything but add their bloat to the ROM, so, chances are it's got the bug.

Would you think its still worth getting an S6 even with this flaw? I have an upgrade on Rogers, and the S6 seems like the best option. However, I feel this bug may drive me crazy.
Seems like the international variant 920F and T-Mobile 920T had their updates.... still waiting for the canadian variant!!!!

I honestly don't understand all the rage over this. I don't have an issue with the memory management, however I don't flip between apps like a spaz or fret over five different memory managers like some people seem to do.

The issue is that the S6 has to keep reloading apps, Say you open a webpage on chrome, then exit to another app. switching back to chrome will reload the page, when the page was supposed to be stored in memory.
The problem is that for a premium device which costs 600+, there should be flaws like this.

Samsung Launches 2016 Tab S2 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 652

And is otherwise more or less the same as the 2015 version.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-refreshes-the-Galaxy-Tab-S2-8.0-and-Galaxy-Tab-S2-9.7_id80150
Some people say this is more of a "downgrade" in terms of GPU power.
Strange. This is almost nothing upgraded. For me, main thing is it replacing tab s3, or we will see it in july, august?
just came here to post this, hopefully this means android 6 will come out soon for our s2's
Before people get their hands on this.
I bet this is gonna overheat.

I dont see sense of this "upgrade"
It comes with 6.0.1 though. I guess it's samsungs way of saying FU to the people who have been waiting for an update for their exynos S2.
Cost reduced for Europe

I've been reading that they are likely not to launch the tab s3 this year now. Truthfully, aim fine with that. I love the bleeding edge but damn, it's hard to keep up anymore.
I did snag a Tab Pro S with Windows 10 and that's actually pretty amazing...

It will definitely be better for ROM development, being snapdragon has a lot more development than exynos cpu's in all phones. But then again it's a tablet so there will be limited to no development.
Assuming they don't lock the bootloader (as they did all the US s7 Snapdragons).
But yeah, they found that a mid-range 2016 processor might be easier/cheaper to produce than the 5433.
Hopefully this means 64bit Android 6.0 for the Tab S2 exynos...

I agree on the possibility, that this might mean no 6.0 for the exynos, but in any way we can't change that. I think it has a lot to do with the fact, that samsung really isn't making that much with their tablets in comparison to what they expected. Launching an overhauled, easier to develop tablet might be their way to make some buzz, but not invest that much in new development. I don't think that this means anything for the exynos variant concerning Rom development, since they are wholey other SoCs. Also smartphone sales were not as great as expected with the s6 and with China as new challenger in the market, samsung probably has to watch their expenses.

I have the 713 and my battery life is awesome... I have a 2014 Note 10.1 and Note Pro 12.2 Note 4 and Note 5... I have the tablet 2013 Nexus 7 and a few other devices laying around the house but this gets the best battery life out of all of them. I am rooted with Xposed running greenify I know that helps. But I've been on my tablet for 7 hours now and I'm still at 87%... and this is being inactive watching videos playing music I played a couple games... reading XDA! Lol

You can only ask or indeed answer that question if you can compare it to another device you own and use the same way or its a pointless question.
We all use them in different ways and this has a huge effect on aspects such as battery life.
It's almost like comparing how long a tank of fuel lasts in a car.
It all depends on many factors.

I have had my S2 T713 (2016) for about two weeks now and it is working great! I have not had any issues with wifi or overheating! I upgraded the firmware to the latest version first. Then installed TWRP custom recovery, Lineage OS 14.1 and root! This tablet is my daily driver now! ?

The Fingerprint works great! When I was using Touchwiz I could not login with Fingerprint even though I set it up. But it works great with Lineage. Screen On Time best? Is that located in the settings menu under battery?

Oh Okay! I will post back here after work day over I am using it now for music and probably will do some TV shows so I will see how it does! I usually have it plugged in all the time out of habit but I am running on battery to see how well it does.

This is a screenshot of my tablet's usage so far for today.
