Changes in 5.1.1 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

Figure it would be nice to have a thread of changes we have found in 5.1.1
For me the UI feels a LITTLE more responsive, nothing major. That's all I have seen.
What about others?

For me so far it has been better standby time. Battery.

I notice somewhat better performance in general, phone just feels a little snappier. Battery life obviously can't be judged yet, might factory reset later if it gets worse (stupid Google Play Music device limit).
This is super minor, but I notice that the time it takes for the phone to verify the encryption passphrase is about half of what it was. And most people will likely not care about this either, but the T-Mobile jingle aligns with the T-Mobile white screen during boot up now.

Agree it's very very early, but I had pretty bad battery drain for the first few hours after I updated. Cleared cache via the stock recovery and it seems to be much better.

Definitely feels snappier.. I've noticed slightly better battery life.. But I can't really tell yet.. Just gotta use the phone and figure out any immediate changes

I just cleared my cache with stock recovery too, and when it rebooted, it said the update failed, which is strange since I updated it 11 hours ago, and I'm definitely on 5.1.1.

I noticed that too. I had to reboot twice into recovery (had to go back into Android because I needed to decrypt my phone to clear cache). Both times it said "Installing system update". No ertror mesage, though.

Updated this morning. Played around with my phone for a bit and then did a factory reset for the heck of it. So far it's pretty decent. I like the new camera feature and the removable S Finder and Quick Connect boxes too. I've been running it with everything turned on for almost a month and was getting great battery life. So far the battery is doing pretty good as I'm using it quite heavily.

Has anyone noticed better battery life after factory resetting post-update? Considering doing it now.

Anyone know how to access guest mode ? I can't seem to find it

It wasn't included in the update.

I believe that tmobile my account app is the reason why my data keeps turning back on.

You will always get more of a battery drain after flashing a rom or upgrading. The phone has to be asked to settle for a day or two before tout make a judgement

I just received the notification through PCC to install software update, but I am still reluctant to do it, seeing so many persons unhappy about this, and all those bugs...

Yes. I always drain the first charge till completely shuts off and start analyzing during the next full charge.
The only thing i'm facing after update via PCC is random reboots. Happens twice today.
Might try wiping.
I did also experience extreme power drain after upgrading to KitKat. In my case it was media server that seemed to run constantly. After some investigation and trials it turmed out that there was something on the SD card that did not play well with KitKat. If removed my SD card the power consumption was normal but as soon as I put the SD card in the phone media server started to drain the battery really fast.
I have now formated the SD card in the phone and are putting things back and so far the power consumptiomn seems normal. :cyclops:

+1 bro, I have to agree with you. My battery has actually improved a lot. So far I have had no issues with the update.
as a side note, I see some ppl complaining about the black notification drawer been ugly and too black etc. For me I absolutely love this new look! I think it shows your notifications clearer in a clean sleek fashion. As they say, once you go black you can never go back (lol) I guess you can't please everybody tho.

It didn't work for me, Battery is still being drained at an alarming rate, with "mediaserver" and "media" processes as the main culprits.
This happens only when the SD card is inserted, but all my music and photos are on it. With the SD card, the phone is pretty much useless now, as the battery lasts barely 4 hours in idle mode. This update is simply horrible.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this?

Terrible battery life

Ive had the note since a day before launch and i havent been able to get more than three hours screen time out of it on auto brightness and simply texting or web browsing. It also has a lot of performance issues i cant figure out. Like severe animation lag when sending a hangout message, or huge keyboard typing delays.
Ive factory reset several times, and there arent any wakelocls. Standby time is great actually.

Simply saying you have a bad battery life without itentifying if you are rooted or not, without providing any information about your battery, without showing your wakelock is rather...not a good way to acquire help.
P.S simply rooting and installing xpose will not give you battery life

That's actually what i ended up doing. Too early to tell, but I'm at an hour screen time (mostly hangouts, web browsing, email) and at 72% battery. Hasn't seemed to help performance much. I have 5 pages of apps including all the stock stuff. I lost 10% battery listening to an audible book for an hour too which seems high.
My issue is charging via pc USB port. with stock rim it would charge fine full charge as normal and the same with note 3 I had custom rom and with stock no issue. But with custom rom same thing running same apps and only playing Google music on the background the battery doesn't charge as well as it did. Not sure if there is any tips out there about that but as mentioned the only difference is that this is a note 4 the others note 3 and even on this for stock rom battery charges well with USB pc output. This is normally at work while sitting down on my desk and connected to my pc. While listening to music on headphones.

Mine did the same, it actually lost more power than it could charge, it went away, I'm not sure what I did, but now it's just as good as my note 3
Thanks for the input I don't want to go back to stock since these roms are just to smooth running on skyfall now. I'll likely wait and test it out for a few more days. But mine currently does trickle charge but so slow. My worry is long trips. But overall battery life is good.

Yesterday I got 4 hours screen time with 10% left. Android OS taking up the vast amount of the battery. That is decent, but I was really expecting more in the 5-6 hour area, especially considering my light usage model. I dont play games, or watch videos on it.

[Q] Sluggish phone

Well, I'm growing tired of my phone lagging like a single core 600MHz Android running Eclair.. Can we just go to the T-Mobile store and tell them to give us a new one (provided we purchased our phones from T-Mobile in the first place) I can't imagine this phone was designed to run this slow.

Disable dual window and see if that helps. Also enable Force GPU Rendering under developer options. And, of course, disable and remove any bloat you're able to without root.

I think this phone has some aggressive throttling injected. Like configured to opperate with 2 cores even before it starts warming up. Keep in mind that it also has android 5.1 which suffers from poor memory management. we need 5.1.1 update. I find not sense to these multicore CPU Craze when we fall victim of these type of software limitations.

Also, Clean Master is a band-aid (as opposed to a solution). I find it immediately has an impact.
I disable the smart BS from LG. Uninstall everything that can be uninstalled and disable pretty much everything that can be disabled.
Also do Maintenance restarts every few days because of the 5.1 memory issue. Works like a champ.
What really bothers me is that all of the reviews say this phone is really snappy, like hell it is, after you disable all of the installed LG and T-Mobile BS apps.

I've disabled and uninstalled what I could so far. It is better than stock, but still not what it should be.
I'd say for the most part the phone operates fine and doesn't seem to lag at all. BUT WHEN IT DOES... holy sh** ... How an android phone released this year can hang up and lag like this is completely unacceptable. I can see why people choose Iphones. My note 4 never lagged as bad as this one does at times. Literally I'll hit the back button and wait and wait and wait... 30-45 seconds before it responds... I'll be hitting it like 12 times like WTF is going on... it's absurd and unacceptable. In these moments it's worse than a Galaxy S3 ... no lie.
Like I said I am good most of the itme... MOST.. but when it does this (a few times every couple days) it's infuriating.

Yeah that is the only thing that has kept the phone from being returned - the camera is good. That and I am hoping that LG will roll out an update to fix the slowness or someone will release a root exploit so I can do it myself.
I don't get how the phone is sluggish its running fast as ever for me
I had a pretty bad unit. It was very slow and the touchscreen was unresponsive. Tmo sent me a new device and it's working so much better now.

Tbf they deserve hate they completely messed the note 4 around with 5.0 with even the note 3 getting it before I'm sure, as well as the s5. Now I'm pretty sure the s6 and s5 have 5.1 lollipop and one of Samsungs most expensive phones the note 4 doesn't even have it yet even though it is plagued with issues, cough cough battery, lag, recent apps lag.
It's not exactly an acceptable way to treat your consumer base when like me we paid 650 pound out right for the phone.. Which is a hell of a lot of money I might add, I'm half tempted to just get the s6 if they're just going to screw the note 5 around like this

It's just a bit weird that the note 4 hasn't gotten the update yet, when the Note Edge has. Something fishy going on and I guess it's Samsung assuming people will switch to the Note 5 just to get 5.1.1.

Maybe noone cares about what I'll say, but its my last Samsung phone. Come on, my last Note 2 was an epic telephone. This note 4 is dissapointing. And 5.0.1 is a failure. Battery drain, lags, etc. Even root and deleting some ****ty systeminstalled apps doesnt help him much... I think about the downgrading.
I hope the Snapdragon will get the update.

Sammobile isn't Samsung and it was just some insider info that could have changed after Samsung decided to launch the note 5 early. BTW BOG1 is damned smooth and the recent apps lag is almost completely gone. :good:

Try wanam's version with the correct modem+bootloader and googy-anas's kernel.
Some real drama queens around here. You know what is funny about updates? If they arrive quickly they are usually buggy and people complain OR they arrive slowly with minimal bugs and guess what? People complain.
Samsung has not given a proper date of when 5.1.1 will arrive, end of July was not an official statement at all.
I am on NEE POF2 5.0.1 on my N910F and it is running beautifully, no lag, battery is great even when using Download Booster with LTE & WiFi. The phone is stable.
My mother's month old S6 has just died and may require a motherboard replacement, same with her colleagues S6 Edge, both on 5.0.2, yet my Note 4 has been with me since launch with very usage and abuse and not yet failed me.
Blame Google, as even 5.1.1 doesn't fix most of the 5.0 Bugs, so I am guessing that Samsung is trying to patch everything up themselves.
We have not been abandoned.

Fresh ROM install is properly 'crisp'. Give it a few days, and that will, most likely, settle in. At least you know it went well, and that nothing you have is conflicting. Welcome to your piece of the Pie!

After a couple of reboots, the animations definitely seem smoother. Other than that it feels about the same as Oreo. Minor changes, but better than nothing.
One thing that is fixed for me at least, is the location coming on even after I turned it off. Before the update the location was basically on all the time.

Do you remember how big the update was? I had put my phone on the charger for the night and it woke up the screen that a download was available. When I clicked install, it rebooted and hung for a while on the AT&T logo. It finally booted up and the software info is correct. It must have downloaded the actual update in the background. Oh well, maybe a few bug fixes, but so far I can't tell any difference. Almost seemed like a security update.

Yea mine did the same thing. Was kinda weird.
I'm surprised you don't notice any difference. It's not revolutionary or anything but it's there. Try using this: 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com as your private DNS.

Next is the Unlocked US version I hope. I'm going to see if I can keep my unlocked bootloader when I flash over to it.
Another observation: I used to have issues with WiFi calling dropping in and out in certain areas of my house. I used to think it was coverage but I have 3 Google WiFi pucks in a 3800sqft house. After this update though it hasn't dropped once. And since my location issue is fixed my battery life is back to normal. 61% left with a 2:30 hours of sot

WIFI scanning for foreground apps is crippled in PIE. 30 seconds between scans and no option to whitelist WIFI scanner apps.
Battery life is greatly improved for me (25% longer lasting so far) but auto-brightness does seem to be quite a bit more aggressive. Phone feels much snappier, too. Camera responses, especially when zooming/toggling between lenses seems improved.
This could be an AT&T app I haven't disabled or something else completely, but since the update I no longer receive any notifications when my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth. I get what looks like enhanced Android Auto experience (again, could be just update to AA app) when using Native Android Auto in my Civic. Notifications [I do get these when phone is plugged into car/AA is active] and navigation in general are much snappier and appear in a more crisp and desirable manner.
The only issue I have with it so far is that I no longer get notifications while I'm in my car (again, maybe unrelated to the Pie update). Otherwise it is behaving almost like a new phone again like it did back in October, or maybe even a little faster.

Sprint lg v40 pie
I still haven't got the update to LG v40. is there a way that I can download the pie for att since its the same variant model number as the sprint one, just in case everyone didn't know the sprint and att lg v40 is the same model number, so I was wondering if I can somehow download the v40 att pie update and flash it on the stock browser or sideload it. either way, anyone have the download to manually do it?
