Edge panel crashing after updating to Android 6.0.1

Hello to all,
I have an issue with my S6 edge after updating it to Android 6.0.1.
All is working fine except an edge (side) panel. When I slide it to people edge it's ok, but when sliding to app edge I get notification that "application edge screen was closed". Restart opens it again but still is crashing the same way.
Already contacted Samsung - had to factory reset. That didn't help. Told me to contact service for further repairs.
Already wiped device in recovery mode - didn't help.
Already changed firmware by Odin to BTU (I'm polish) - didn't help
Already changed firmaware to XEO again - didn't help
Already changed firmware using 4 files (pit too) XEO - didn't help.
Can anyone help to resolve this issue?

What ROM are you currently on? Are you rooted? Do you use Titanium Backup or similar?
I ask because I once had the exact same problem. I'd accidentally frozen "Apps Edge"
in Titanium?
Otherwise, see if there's an Edge update in Samsung Apps. Or try pushing another Apps Edge apk into your current setup?

I'm having the same issue - it only seems to be the apps edge panel that crashes it. If I remove all the apps from the panel then re-add them it's ok for a while, then later it crashes again. It was fine & I was using it all the time before the last software update!
Phone details:
Samsung S6 Edge SM-G925F
Android 6.0.1 Build MMB29K.G925FXXU3DPDP (not rooted/customised)

How difficult would it be to add a couple lines in your post letting everyone know your phone's exact model,
which custom rom you are currently using and whether or not you have xposed framework installed?
And any other specific details.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

I don't have any xposed framework installed.
Phone isn't rooted as I'm still under warranty which I don't want to lose. Never used Titanium backup or any other app. The only backup was made by SmartSwitch.
The App endge is alrady up to date.
Current ROM is G925FXXU3DPDP
Ver. No. MMB29K.G925FXXU3DPDP

Note 4 N9100 Marshmallow feedback ? VoLte Status ?

Hi ,
Samsung released Marshmallow after a long wait for Open China Note 4 Duos , Hong Kong version is still pending for marshmallow update .
Q1. Did samsung introduced volte for note4 duos with marshmallow ?
Q2. Which custom recovery are you guys using ? Is lollipop compatible twrp working with marshmallow ?

any top chinese mobile forums that you guys can recommend . Google is getting polluted these days with many sites using scripts to copy content from xda to a blogspot site

I went ahead and did a bold move of flashing my HK Note 4 Dual N9100 with the Open China ROM 6.0.1 released by Samsung.
Steps did.
1) Used the cmw recovery compatible with N910w for N9100. Didnt find one for N9100 directly. Worked.
2) Flashed 6.0.1 on top of 5.1.1. After booting up, lot of apps crashed. understandable as it doesnot have google play. Hence factory reset.
3) Rooted the ROM 6.0.1 using Odin setup compatible for N910w. Didnt find one for N9100 directly. Worked.
4) Installed gapps pico. After setting up permissions and few hickups, it too worked.
5) Reinstalled rest of the apps from playstore, everything works.
Outcome - super snappy. excellent battery life than 5.1.1 ROM. Love it.
One problem - 10 mins after you turn off the screen, notifications wont show up on the phone. If your screen is on, all notifications shows up just fine.
Did some research and understood that its the dooze feature that is putting the phone to deep sleep. Its a very talked about issue in Samsung devices specially S5, S6 after it got updated to Marshmallow. Lot of suggestions are written
a) about adding required apps and google play store to "Do not Optimize" section. Tried all but all in vain.
b) Turn off Wifi and see, but no luck.
Its very annoying to not see the notifications show up but not a deal breaker as turning on the screen will bring them. But still.......Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks for updating here , any luck with VoLte? Could you post the links of the exact custom recovery you used . does it support exfat and ext3/4 partition ? I plan on using a partitioned microsd with marshmallow with first half for system memory and 2nd half as removable storage (tib backup , media)
The last update for HK version was on 1st September 2016 which means they are working on the ROM . I am just guessing that CN version might not have VoLTe . There is no ROM difference between Open china and HK except gapps
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9100/

my carrier does not support VoLTE. So unsure if the 6.0.1 rom supports it. VoLTE is not shown any where in the Network settings though. !
I lost the link for the recovery as i frantically downloaded a few and tried randomly for which one works. . I am trying to attach the recovery file but giving an error as i am a new member.
Any suggestions on the notificatons not showing up after screen off issue?

Is it app specific or all apps?

All apps !

SM-G935T Running Nougat 7.0 Bloatware Question

I'm running the SM-G935T variant with recently installed Nougat 7.0. Has anyone compiled a complete list of all applications and bloatware that can be safely removed, or disabled without affecting phone functionality?
On 6.0.1, I was able to perfectly get rid of everything that I didn't need, but now since upgrading, I've noticed a lot of new services added as well as some older system process have been changed, or removed entirely.
Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated, and I am working on my end to compile a list of what I've already found safe to disable, or remove.
- J

Anyone?

Maybe you better ask that in the T-Mobile section...
I've noticed only little changes and my Marshmallow list did work fine on Nougat, too. However, I have an Exynos version and just removed some things on unbranded rom I do not use.

[Oreo] S7 Active Android Oreo Looks More Like S8

The new Android Oreo OTA firmware looks more like the galaxy S8 theme, without any modding needed, apart from installing the zip file!
the zip file is found on the below website
[Must be on baseband ending in BRB5, check out my other post for instructions how to get to that version...]
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/BGy7/gKs4xzhRE/OTA/Oreo/SS-G891AUCU2BRB5-to-U2CRC7-UP.zip
Attatched below are pictures of the new Oreo update, which I installed on my S7 Active, and by the way, the update has not crashed at all. [It did crash once, but that was due to me using the phone in direct sunlight, which may have caused it to overheat, but thats probably a good thing, that it didn't overheat till death]
i have gone into the home screen settings, and disabled the apps button in the bottom right, so i can swipe to view my apps. by default , there are no s8 wallpapers, but i will include the wallpaper i used below. enjoy!

heres the wallpapers. think i ran out of attachments up there:

i understand the photo says galaxy s7 under phone name. this is not officially released yet, so for some odd reason, the default name is galaxy s7 rather than galaxy s7 active.

Battery Life & Stability?

As mentioned above, how's the battery life and stability so far? I haven't got my device rooted or anything, how would I go about updating to OREO, should Iflash the file through ODIN? Do I need to be on a specific version of Nougat before upgrading?
Thanks

Before upgrading you need the build number G891AUCU2BRB5, then you have to flash the Oreo rom using stock recovery and adb sideload.

How well does it run on your phone?

I'd like to know about performance issues with Oreo on the S7 active. There is an article that says there's a noticeable slowdown and some glitches with the camera. Are these isolated glitches or does anyone upgrading to Oreo find the same thing?

hey... with the "swipe to unlock" on oreo does it still appear after you set a timer too keep your phone unlocked during activity?
one og my gripes with Nogat is the swipe to unlock never goes away....

WiFi calling option gone after Android 7.0 update

After updating to Android 7.0 nougat my wifi-calling ability has gone away. It worked great until the update. After looking through all the settings there is no longer an option to turn it on or off. I have looked both in <Settings <Connections <Mobile Networks and In Phone App, <"Three dots at the top" < Settings. My phone is a Galaxy J5 prime SM-G570M. Is there a firmware update that can fix this? or would going back to Marshmallow help?
Thanks!
