Hi guys,
Does anyone know exactly what Sammy updated? Is there a changelog somewhere? So far I wasn't able to see much of a difference...

Ahh so European T Mobile. I have the N915T (American T Mobile) and after seeing how much 5.0.1 butchered the edge screen, I've decided to stay with 4.4.4 for the rest of my phone's life.
In 5.1.1 has the camera button returned to the Edge screen and do notifications act like they do in 4.4.4? That is, have notifications stopped popping up on the screen instead of staying muted up top and only showing up on the Edge screen? I really hope Samsung decides to make a proper Note Edge 2. This phone with Note 5 enchancements and more settings and features for the Edge Screen would be orgasmic for the power user like me

I hope so too, but the chance of a note edge 2 emerging is close to 0...
In terms of edge screen usage it is the same as 5.0.1, the camera button is still on the main screen and some notifications pop up on the edge screen. so far the only few things I managed to discover were the addition of the smart manager (which is quite nice) and the overall performance.
For me the performance boost is really significant. My device was still running great (haven't done a reset since I bought it last Decemberm, even after the 5.0.1 update) but the 5.1.1 update made it even smoother and faster! Animations are more fluent and feel like they "fit".
EDIT:
Some note 5 features would be nice. I got the screen-off note function from an app in the "themes & apps" part of the edge forum, works brilliantly!
with 5.1.1 then have notifications showing up on the Edge screen also with lock screen as 4.4.4 , but change settings
settings->sound and notification->notification application -> app and set two and three

Hello everybody. Does anyone know when and if samsung will update the camera software on the Galaxy S6 with raw support and shutter speed control like Note 5 or S6 edge plus? The hardware is identical, so it should be only a software improvement. And until then, is there a custom rom that ported the new camera app to Galaxy S6?

The 5.1.1 update was supposed to bring raw support. Sure speed control on the other hand I have heard nothing about

Well, seems like Shamesung has pulled a new low move from the shame hat. I just went an tested in a store a brand new s6 edge plus, installed Aida64, and the entire camera system, front and back sensor, image processing, etc, are exactly the same (this was Sony sensor). So they are trying to differentiate the Galaxy S6 from the more "pro" S6 edge+ or Note 5 just by software gimmiks... I am very disappointed, i payed a premium price for my Galaxy, it's only 4 months old... i want the phone to be the best as it can be, not artificially "gimped".
Greetings.
After going crazy looking for a phone to replace my Nexus 5 and not finding one that ticks all the boxes, I'm planning on getting a Galaxy S6. I'm not a fan of Touchwiz, but overall it seems to be the phone that best suits me. (Size, great camera, fast performance)
However today I was trying out a couple Samsung phones at a Sammie counter and I noticed the Galaxy S6 edge+ has shutter speed control on Pro mode. While the regular S6 (the one I'm interested in) doesn't.
Aren't the cameras the same on both models?
A friend who works at Samsung (marketing department) said he's pretty sure the regular S6 has shutter speed control on Pro mode.
I can't seem to find information on it o.o
So how is it? Does it have it now because of some software update? If not, is it in Samsung plans to bring it soon?
On a different note, is there anything terrible bad about the S6 I should be aware of before buying it? Random and formed opinions on the phone seem to be pretty good, but I wonder...
Thanks in advance
Your friend works at samsung and he gave you false info... no the Galaxy S6 has a max of 0.5 sec shutter speed and is only accessible with 3rd party camera apps and that really sucks
What?! even with third party software it's limited to 0.5 secs?
That sucks.
Well, I've also been looking at the LG g4. Does anyone have any experience with both phones?
The camera has more options however LG's software experience is even worse than Samsung I think. Plus the camera ain't always better
However, longer shutter is coming, as it is already included in the S6E+. Probably with the next update or Android 6
Hopefully!
Is there anything I should be aware about the S6?
One of the things I like the least on it is the notification menu full of buttons... I much rather have the Google's approach with a second page for the settings. Is it something you can change with root?

Hi I was just wondering where did you find that shutter speed for the samsung s6 and do you know what the default is I need to find this information for the s6 and iphone 6 but shutter speed along with information on the lens manufacture seems to be extremely difficult to find for some reason.

By checking the values in ProShot.
Please share your thoughts, I'm really thinking to downgrade my Note Edge from 5.1 to 4.4.
By the way, would I lost the phone warranty?
To me it is but only because I am an Edge purist. The stock ROM gave you the best the Edge had to offer. Everything that comes with the phone exclusively uses the Edge Screen including the Camera shutter button which was actually the deciding factor for me. Made taking pictures with one hand super easy.
Why I like Stock:
Camera button on Edge
All notifications on Edge Screen
Decent battery life
No bugs with lock screen apps and utilizing the Edge panel for music controls (Power Amp)
Why don't you like 5.1?
My favorite phone by far was the note edge, i got much usage from the edge panel on that phone. My question is it possible to have that style panel on the s8? Im no developer by any means , but isn't it determined by the software and not so much by hardware? i say this because when flashing an AOSP style rom the edge panel was no longer there and the whole screen "bled....bleed?" onto the edge panel (similarly like the v10 top screen). Possible or no?

Hello all. I have a question.. so I use a dual sim SM-G9550 S8+. In my dropdown menu it has 'capture screen's to take a screen shot. In our home we have Canadian versions s8's which are model: SM-G950W. We have also the plus version and nowhere is the 'capture screen's option. Anyone have any ideas as to why? This is a super option that takes a screen shot I'm a snap. Any help as my wife and son are a bit jealous.

Different model, different Firmware!
Just press power button + vol down
Maybe from some installed app ? My dual sim S8 doesn't have it.
