So What's the best thing from the update?

Anyone see any new functions from the new update, besides the new 3G Icon??

No reboots here. I still loose 3g often but it regains it back much quicker. Also easier to toggle LTE on and off.

I never had random reboots before, but atleast for me the GPS is locking on so fast I love it.

I had reboots all the time. None since the update.

Haven't seen anything worthwhile yet. I never had any reboot problems so this update did nothing but put more bloatware on my phone. I think its time to root.

Faster 4G in Atlanta

I'd just like to say that I miss my old boot screen. And the new 3G icon looks like someone stepped on it. Other than that and the my Verizon app I haven't even noticed the update. My reboots stopped a few days ago, I had 4 days 9 hours and 2 minutes of uptime when I installed the update.

Deleted due to finding answer on other thread.
But the new boot anim and 3G icon suck, IMHO.

i don't have any positives yet... the radio is worse than mr2.5 and it has higher battery drain.

Any in DC area have any 4G improvements?

Please stop calling it mr2.5, we have a real MR2 out soo any radio before that is MR nothing it's just a leaked radio you will confuse people by saying mr2.5, when the actual MR2 OTA is out.

[Q]Screen issue, horz lines, bad colors hardware related or rom?

Hello,
I'm looking at a friend's Infuse and it seems that the screen is screwed up, I flashed GB official into it some days ago and now the screen displays some discolored horizontal lines and weird colors all over the place.
The image is still discernible, however it seems to me that the screen is broken or something might be loose.
Does anyone know what could be the reason of these issues?
I'll add photos to this post in a moment...

I've never seen anything this bad... if you have restored back to stock with Odin/heimdall several times then it is definitely a hardware issue. I'm sorry

Thank you for your response, unfortunately it seems to be hardware as I have odined back to stock, even downgraded to Froyo and no success.
In LCD tests all the colors are displayed correctly, only when combined or when displaying something of higher complexity is that they look distorted.

Try the heimdall stock route also just to be sure.
The screen looks like an LCD monitor with bad pin connection.
If heimdall didn't make any difference, either open it or warranty it, I guess.

There's been a few reported issue with some sort of corrosion on the circuit board of the Infuse. Those suffers the constant boot loop scenario.
Here, I think may be due to a loose video connection as you may have suspected.
If you hold the phone and tap it into the palm of you hand while the display is ON and see some changes, I would bet that is the problem.
If it's still under warranty, I would take it to the store or send it in.
Obviously, odin or heimdall it back to stock first before you take it in.

-Mobile Galaxy note 5 receives new update to OH4 build number

T-Mobile Galaxy note is getting a new OTA, to build no.*OH4. We don’t have proper details about the OH4 update for T-Mobile Note 5 yet, but looks like Samsung*and T-Mobile noticed something that needed quick fixing. After all, it isn’t been long since Note 5*was launched by T-Mobile and Samsung.
The full version of the*software updateis*N920TUVU1BOH4, and it runs onAndroid 5.1.1*exactly.*
For now, pick up your T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5 and see if you have already received an OTA notification. If not, then it’s time to tap as many times as require/you can on ‘check for update’ button under Settings > About device > Software update.

Mine updated about an hour ago. I was hoping it would activate the Samsung pay app since i was accepted into the beta program but it did not. I wonder what's changed...

From what I can tell so far at least this update has fixed the wireless charging issue I was having when using the Samsung wireless pad that came with my S6. So far its been charging to full with no issues since this update. Before it would constantly pause and never charge fully.

This should be the video calling feature http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...oday-on-the-galaxy-note-5-and-galaxy-s6-edge/

Does anyone know what fixed were in this update? I haven't found anything online.

I think I saw it in a similar thread when it was first reported yesterday. Wireless charging fix and auto brightness fix.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

After installing the update I'm noticing that Wi-Fi performance is significantly worse than before. To the point where Wi-Fi Calling isn't a reliable way of making phone calls any more. Running a simple speedtest shows very spikey results, jitter is much higher. Tried it on multiple Wi-Fi locations.
When on LTE, service is excellent as usual. I'm stock.
Anyone else having this issue?

Anywhere in TMOs footprint using Carrier Aggregation (CA). I'm starting to see Band 12 as a default instead of Band 4.

This morning I received this notice of a new update. It doesn't say much, but is 112MB in size.

The first thing I noticed after the update was improved fingerprint recognition. I've never had issues with my thumbs not reading, but it seemed my index fingers had to be perfectly aligned in order to unlock my phone. Now they work at off angles and much quicker.
I also promptly froze the Gear VR apps since I don't want to risk battery hits from something I won't use.
Anyone use stock messaging? I'm curious if the awful delay when trying to send a message is gone.

Just a question. With the app optimization do we still need greenery? Just wondering.

Weird thing I noticed was when when I factory reset after I took the update factory recovery was saying something about dfverify tree or something like that.

Interesting; I just had my Note5 unlocked and with my AT&T SIM in, I was able to download and install the update OTA.
Happy to see all known Stagefright vulnerabilities are now addressed.

SIM cards are used to determine OTAs for Nexus devices. But you are correct that they typically don't matter for other OEMs because each carrier gets a different model number assigned to their hardware variant.

Greenify? I'm wondering the same.

Wireless charging is being a lot more picky about where I place my phone on the pad after the update. I have to set it down a bit higher on the phone rather than centered like usual.

thats upsetting
i was having this problem prior to the update, was hoping for a fix
Samsung wireless charger is supper picky, third party ones, not so much

I'm already noticing improved battery life.
Unplugged for 3.5 hours, and in the marginal LTE/H area that I am for work, I would be down 20% or more with light usage. As of now, I'm at 89%.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with Text Messages? I'm using the stock messaging app (after I started having issues with EvolveSMS). I'll get the same text messages from someone 5 to 7 times, kind of getting annoying when my S2 vibrates and get's blown up with notifications.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Low Light Test

Got my hands on a European S7 for a day or two, I won't go into details but here are some low light camera shots.

Much appreciated. Do they look over exposed to you? Is it the best camera you've ever used?
I've ordered but am not excited, my nexus 6p is doing just fine
And finally, are we Europeans getting the EXYNOS?

I think this is Exynos but I cannot be certain. Any application I use to check the specs comes back as "Processor Unknown"
In regards to the pictures, all I can say is the first few were taken in extremely dark environments and whilst I was pleased with the results when viewing on screen, when enlarged they are not fantastic.
HOWEVER I don't think I have ever used a camera on a smartphone as good as this in low light. In normal lighting conditions, the 6S Plus (my daily driver) seems better but this is without extensive testing, the S7 really shines in low light situations.
It's as great camera and I doubt anybody will have any issues with its performance.
In regards to the S7 itself, there is the occasional lag on the operating system however all in all it builds on last year and it's much smoother.
I've owned every Galaxy S device, and by far this is the best generation but anybody coming from an S6 will struggle to be excited. It's certainly not as fluid as a 6P, which I have owned too.

I would think because that is how most people actually take pictures when it is dark... So it is a real world test, not some theoretical/lab nonsense.

Really for a low light test you really shouldn't be using the flash lol.

Maybe so, but pretty much everyone I know leaves the settings all on auto, which usually uses the flash when it's dark.

I think the photo are very good. Of course you use flash light in this condition.

If you use the flash which we all know is a light source then how can you test how the camera performs in low light?
