[Q] 5.1.1 Update Features - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hey all,
I received the 5.1.1 update for my S6 Edge (Sprint). I've read articles that talk about features like a "Guest mode" (which is available on my Galaxy Tab S Pro 10.5), and other design changes, such as quick panel buttons. I do not see any changes at all in the design or the guest mode feature. Can anyone confirm what actually changed? I see that I am running the 5.1.1 in my device properties, but I can't tell anything else different.
Also, I noticed my camera makes a weird hissing/lens focusing noise every time I open the app. I never experienced that before, seems a bit unsettling. Deciding if I need to do a factory reset or if this is indeed the update. I also noticed some heat issues and the phone may turn off at times. Let me know your thoughts!

The main things I've seen are that you can change the wallpaper motion affect on or off and you can disable the s-finder and quick settings. Other than that its kinda bland and boring (thanks sprint)

Yea, doesn't seem as useful compared to Google's 5.1.1 update for the N5. I'm still running on 5.0.2.

Screen Flicker Galaxy S III-Fixed?

I've search high and low but it seems like any thread related to this was closed when the forums were split up. In any case, please report any screen flicker issues here and what keyboard you might be using and whether or not you're rooted. I bought this phone new and had a screen flicker before I rooted it. I figured it might be software related so I rooted and installed another ROM. I still notice it from time to time when typing. I don't think this flicker will ever go away. I'm now on CM10 and still notice the problem. I've been using Swiftkey from the start but I'm not sure yet if that's what causing it.
Thanks to TechSavvy2, I think this problem has been fixed.

Not sure what it does, but you will need to tick the same option every time you reboot if you're on CM10 official at least(I can't speak for the other AOSP ROMs.)
You got a screen flicker BEFORE you did anything to your phone tho? That's the first I've heard of the flicker anywhere except an AOSP ROM. Hmmm. And was/is it only when you used Swiftkey? If so, gotta be some conflict between Swiftkey and our phones. (I really don't care for swiftkey since it doesn't have any kind of swipe option. I use Touchpal, which is pretty good on the autocorrect/predictions especially for a freebie)
I've also had the screen flicker on my phone since I activated it. I am on stock touchwiz and the thing that kepts it from occuring every time i opened the keyboard was installing thumb keyboard. I really wish Samsung would send a fix sometime in the near future. I am hoping this is just a software issue and not hardware.

Ya, I know for a fact, I had the flicker before I rooted or even changed the bootloader. I've tried every rom out there and still have a real bad flicker every now and then. It does go away when I turn hw overlays off but by turning it off I can't use SwiftKey which really bites. Isn't this an indication its software related?
And I'm not sure if it's just SwiftKey related. I guess, I'll experiment with the other keyboard to test.
By any chance could it be kernel related?

It happened to my GF's S3, lets call this S3 A, screen fickers and with series of lines vertically, phone freezes, had to do hard boot, then the battery dropped to 3% instantly. We think it's the battery, lucky us, we have another S3, we'll call this S3 B, in which has no flickering issue, and we exchange the battery and the flickering did not happen on S3 A anymore but it did happen to S3 B in which has no flickering issues at all from the start.
And we noticed the S3 A battery is beginning to bloat (it is getting fatter than the battery of S3 B) maybe due to wear and tear or over charging.
So our conclusion, the battery is culprit, we've replaced it and we'll observe for about a week.
I can also experience flickering and very crappy battery life. Guess I need to buy a new batter then? I don't want to waste money if changing batter doesn't work so please tell me if I should buy or not.

[Q] What's up with the N5?

I'm not sure if people are just really downplaying the bugs their experiencing, or maybe Canada just got a big batch of bad phones but it seems nobody online is having the problems me and a few friends are having with our phones. When 5.0 first arrived I was shocked to find I experienced none of the bugs that everyone was complaining about, 2 weeks later and my phone in unusable. A factory reset seems to clean things up but within another week my phone will become unusable again. I thought maybe my phone had broken until I spoke to some friends and found out that multiple (5+) are having the exact same issues. So my question is what's going on with the n5? How is yours working? I'm extremely disappointed this time around after the great experience I had with the galaxy nexus and n4 and would even say I was a nexus fanboy. After having the n5 since launch I have decided that I will no longer be buying nexus phones, as I have has nothing but problems with the 2 n5s I have owned.
A quick list of some of the bugs I've been experiencing are:
Terrible Battery
Immense lag / lack of response in general.
Facebook Messenger chat heads seem to close themselves about 75% of the time.
Getting the keyboard to come up is a game of hit and miss.
The Wallpaper changes itself to black (my indicator things are about to get crazy)
Data/WiFi often just stop working, while icons in the status bar appear normal
About 1 in every 4 notifications I get fails to actually send a notification.
I get a constant "attempting to reconnect in x seconds" while connected to my moto 360.
My navbar/status bar often disappear.
And the annoying "bug report captured" bug that has been persistent since I got the phone.
I've had these problems on stock 5.0, 5.0.1 as well as all custom Roms up to 5.0.2
I've even tried going back to KK, while greatly improved, I still experience much of the same problems.
Does anyone else have these or similar problems? Has anyone found anything that runs stable? Or is it just time I move on and get myself an HTC?
Using my N5 in germany and it's the best phone I've ever held in my hands Running CM12 (based on Lollipop) for now. Have also been using stock Lollipop for a few months. Both run extremely stable. To be honest: I never heard about your issues. I'm not that big of a fanboy. Never owned a Nexus device before, but I guess I'll never move away from Nexus
Just my honest opinion about the device
By the way: I've got a moto 360, too. And the connection is great - up to 10 meters at least and no random disconnects
I have zero issues with mine, but I'm on stock 4.4.4 so that may have something to do with it. I'm not a fan of Lollipop at all. Too many bugs, and I don't like the look of it.
After one year with my Nexus 5, running stock no root, never a problem. I'm a former owner of HTC flagships phones, never a problem with them.

Using Stock 5.0.1 rooted and with ElementalX kernel is good for me and have been using that setup for over a month now. No issues like what you're describing at all. :S
No problems here like that. Bug report issue is normally a poorly fitting case
Hmm... So it seems that the only people that are having these bugs live in my area... Do you think its possible we all got a bad batch of n5s at the rogers store here?
Edit: everyone experiencing these issues has bought their phones from rogers stores here in my city.

Yeah the devices purchased at the play store seem to be fine now. At first, me personally, I had tons of bugs at release. But those issues have been fixed with updates. Mainly concerning the signal and camera speed.
Thread cleaned.
If you think a report is breaking the rules or shouldn't be there for any other reason please report it and move on, antagonizing them adds nothing to the forum but makes our job harder. Thanks, Tijmen.
No issues here besides the occasional Mobile Radio active wakelock, which I did also see occasionally on KK. I did have some memory leak issues on 5.0.0 but either 5.0.1 fixed it or me removing some 3rd party background services did.

Rebooting is normally my go-to solution for problems but it doesn't seem to help these bugs. I installed CM Security and it constantly warns me about my CPU usage/RAM and battery Temperature. The culprit almost always seems to be the Facebook app (sometimes using 250+ mb of RAM just for background services) Could this be a bug with the Facebook app making my phone perform poorly... Does anyone know of any solid alternatives to the official Facebook app?

Fast for Facebook I'd a good alternative
I've been without issues since the factory images were first released, running CM12 CAF builds without issues (besides cm12 bugs)
So call me crazy but I deleted the Facebook and Messenger apps about 6 hours ago and have had 0 problems since... I'm using the official Facebook "Lite" apk I found online and while it is very ugly, things are running much smoother, just hoping that maybe this will solve the bugs I've been experiencing and I'll be able to help my friends get there phones back to a usable state.

I know it's really late in the game now, but have you tried starting in safe mode to see if you have the same issues? It could be an app causing all the grief.

Anyone knows of any upcoming updates for the idol 3??

I just bought the the idol 3 from Amazon and it's on the way now, I'm excited to see what this phone has to offer...
I heard so many people saying that the phone has occasional lag and stutter, I also heard the it's probably caused by the 5.0.2 version of Android installed in it...
So, is there anyone who knows if any updates are coming soon?
Nope, they haven't said anything all they say is soon, mines going back this week.

It does have a bit of lag that is greatly reduced by disabling animations and turning off all gesture input (which doesn't work anyway with any non-stock launcher, so unless you plan on running the stock launcher you're not losing out on anything).
It's as fast as my old HTC One m7 now. If it does get any slowdown, tapping the multitask button and clicking the broom icon to free up memory fixes it.

Affecting Every Verizon 5.1.1 Samsung Galaxy S6! Touches Randomly Not Registering

Galaxy s6
Purchased: april 11 2015
Replaced: 8-1-15? Camera issue
Replaced: 10-15-15? Touch issue
Replaced : 11-16-15 touch issue
Samsung Galaxy S6 5.1.1 key strokes randomly not registering
The phones ive tested so far have all been the following model so i dont know if it affects different phones. Please post if your phone is affected.
Samsung Galaxy S6 (Verizon)
Model: SM-G920V
Andriod version: 5.1.1
I am on my 3rd replacement phone now because of this issue and just figured out why it is happening. everytime i get a replacement and update it from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 is starts missing key strokes.. My current replacement i purposely didnt update and it works absolutely perfectly. I have tested 4 phones now and all of them have the same exact issue. I believe the reason most people dont realize it is because of word prediction. most of the time Word Prediction will put the correct word in even tho it misses keystroke. My brother has an s6 and he didnt even realize it till i had him test it like i tested mine. I did notice it tho and got really annoyed by it and started returning phones until i realized that they all had the same issue.. Worked perfectly on 5.0.2, but as soon as i updated to 5.1.1 they started missing keystrokes.
This is how i tested and proofed to Verizon that my phone was not working right:
disable "word prediction" in the samsung keyboard settings.
in the texting app type the first row of keys and press enter repeatedly so it looks like this:
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
repeat about 10 to 20 times. If your phone has the same issues as all my replacements you should see missed keys 2 to 5 times in your repeated words
Example:
qwertyuiop
qwetyuiop (missed the r)
qwertyuiop
qwertuiop (missed the y)
qwertyuiop
qwertyuiop
wertyuip (missed the q and o)
qwertyuiop
Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with! Lets get this to samsung asap for a fix!
My keyboard misses presses and is generally laggy all of the time. The same is true for third party keyboards as well.
I don't blame the touch response though, I just blame the laggy and slow S6. I have to reboot this thing once a slay if I want it to behave.
And yes I have tried fresh instslls, avoiding known problematic apps, and so on.
This thing has been a huge disappointment.
all my replacements were fast and perfect until I updated to 5.1.1. so if u have always had ur issues even before the update then it just might be something else with ur phone. do u know if it was working good before 5.1.1?

Obviously some people may choose took apps like Facbook and instagram. Those are battery and performance killing apps. Anything that does any sort of push notification is running all the time and will drain battery and take away cpu cycles.
Disabling all of those apps is almost equal to having my own Custom ROM installed.
But back on topic... I have no issues with my touchscreen. This was an original device about 2 weeks after release.
Having a similar problem
Got 3 S6s for the family during the rebate sale. So far two of them have developed bad touch sensitivity. It took about a week to show up. It is worse on my wife's phone and that is not good.
When I did a hard reset and restarted it was good until somewhere near the end of updating. Maybe it was the Verizon upgrade, I don't know...
I know it shouldn't make a difference but increasing Pointer Speed to maximum increased the responsiveness of my phone keypad (but not the text keyboard). Up until that change, the dialer was barely useable. I also switched to SwiftKey and disabled (hide is the correct term) the Samsung Keyboard and that seemed to help. What makes this difficult is that it is inconsistent. I wonder if my fingers are too cold in the morning...
on the same one i got in may. never had this issue.
I honestly miss my s5 I think my s6 sucks, slow laggy battery hogging crap,can't figure why they took away allot of cool features like the ability to plug to TV for example (without having to buy adapter)waterproof I really don't care about, also miss having root .I don't have to many issue's with screen misses but could be I don't use it as much as I used to.
Same thing happened to me. Just got my replacement device today. Missed touches mostly around the edges of the screen. Started about a week after I got the phone. We'll see if this one does the same thing...

I realize I am just a noob but I have started debloating and I am frustrated with apps like the Samsung Keyboard restarting themselves on their own. These apps may be hidden from my view but they start running when Samsung tells them to. If these apps can't be disabled, then I feel like I am wasting my time on trying to identify the running apps that are causing the loss in sensitivity.
I have none of these issues.
if your phone stop responding to touch in random spots on the screen, uninstall Facebook messenger, that ****ty app is causing that.

Did Samsung really solve the RAM issues?

Hello.
After selling the OPO, I'm struggling to decide if i should buy the LG G4 or the Galaxy S6.
I decided to buy the S6, then i noticed it has the famous RAM issue that i didnt know about before.
I really like everything else about this phone, but this issue sounds like a deal breaker. I heard that Samsung released some updates to fix this problem.
So I wanted to ask: did Samsung really fix this problem? if ill buy the S6 and update to the latest firmware, will it be snappy and with lots of free RAM?
Thanks in advance
Ram management got a little better in the latest firmware but not totally fixed like what we all want.
I read that the leaked marshmallow for note 5 have fixed the ram issue.. sooo fingers crossed ram management for s6 will also entirely be fixed like what we expect.
Better try an s6 in the stores before buying.
What is that famous RAM issue? I didn't read anything about that, neither noticed this on my s6. Which conditions do you have to see it?

It just kills apps a lot faster than say my old M7. When listening to Google Play Music just on the way home with no interactions it would just randomnly stop playing. Even more annoying is when you are casting stuff and it decides to go bye-bye, as if you want to pause it you have to reload Netflix or whatever to put it back in the right spot. Hasn't plagued me too much recently, don't know if it's because of the update or me just consciously rebooting/closing apps. Also recently I've noticed app optimization popups, so could be due to that?

Mmmm, something similar happen to me with chrome explorer, when sometimes I swapped to other app with an open Web page, when I returned to chrome it restarted itself with no open pages (I lost the open page I was reading)... It happen for some days some weeks ago, before battery app optimization functionality appeared... Since several weeks this issue didn't appeared again...

It's way better now and you can't notice it since everything loads instantly on this phone. For me it's not a deal breaker St all.
With Android 6.0 I think it'll be fixed.
Thw only time it annoys me is when I alt tab from a game, power off my phone and then it relaunches it.

I.e. you open your whatsapp chat, write a message and don't send it, leave it in the drafts... after some minutes or half hour of phone use (sometimes a simple call can be enough) when you get back to it, it's gone. Was one of the major things pissing me off.... In my OLD s3 with cyanogenmod, if I don't reboot the phone, the draft message on whatapp can stay a WEEK or more. Just one of few... most you only realize in particular but boring situations.
But like it was mentioned it is WAY better now, in the beginning was really a problem. Now with a custom rom it's way less noticeable
