After a few hours, seriously? Give it at least a week and a few charging cycles until any info is worth giving.

Edit: auto correct
Updated this morning. On first boot it showed my EFS stuff had been wiped. After a reboot, it's back but now my system status is Custom. Not sure I'm a fan of this update, but I might just reset with SmartSwitch to fix it.
EDIT: Seems that was a minor glitch, after a minute or so it's back to Official. Strange.

I hope man
I've been going through Google + posts and members are claiming that RAM management is fixed or greatly improved. I DO NOT agree with that. It's still the same crap for me.
Auto rotation is way faster now!!
Can anybody concur with this??
update as well, too early to declare, but I think battery drain has reduced. We shall get better picture in few days.
fyi, you are able to odin TWRP and flash gavin's unikernel.! so there is that
i have no idea as to what they fixed. right now my phone is having sync errors. sometimes technology really blows.
Not sure if it's placebo effect or what, but things definitely feel "smoother" where I used to see lag, hiccups, stutters.

always nice to get an update. about to install, need to quick charge first. I had wifi-calling on all night, hence my battery was at 1% when i woke up. which brings me to my next point: i hope this update fixes the cell-standby bug. I don't think I'll use video calling much if it means my battery life tanks due to enabled VoLTE. It's been reported, on other S6 variants that got this "latest TW" update, that RAM management is better, so i'm looking forward to that possibility. hopefully the experts here will check out all the minute code details regarding RAM and let us know if RAM management is the same or not.

Quick glance:
-New baseband
-Video calling added
-Samsung Pay added but not available yet

My battery life seems to be a bit better with this update.
I just plugged phone into smartswitch and saw the update. 50% through right now. Wonder what's up with it, and hopefully battery life is a little better. I'm pretty sure being an avid user as I am, and the apps that I run don't help.... But, my s4 got better battery then this phone does =/ I'm also probably going to have to get a replacement, because my camera is all wonky, and making weird noises.. All in all, I'm fairly disappointed with the way Samsung rolled this phone out. I'm trying to stick with Samsung, but they are making it very hard.
anywhere to get the file? i'm rooted so no ota update for me...
Memory management still sucks balls. Everything else in the update is legit though. Seems like there is more bloat than ever.
Got Wifi issue! It won't connect or either too slow, though wifi signal is good.

Yeah DHA values remain the same. More bloat as well. So far no cell standby drain while on VOLTE though.

I was checking for software updates today and I saw this update. I applied the update and now my softkeys (onscreen back button and app manager) is no longer lighting up. I don't see anyone having the same issue after the upgrade...
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I don't understand how that can just disappear after an update.

So... how serious is that? I assume we could still downgrade via ODIN or install a custom ROM through TWRP?
Thanks
Anyone flash this modem on the AOE4 boot loader/DOH6 firmware and get it to work?
So if I'm on a custrom ROM with a custom kernel using TWRP, can I just ODIN the modem and bootloader and be OK?
cell stand by bug is fixed i believe:good:
AT&T's update text has something along the lines of fixing security issues and performance issues.
I'm not sure if there's anything else to it.
If someone has more info on this, that'd be great.
Already updated since I'm not on a firmware that'd support it anyways.
just updated to that version and so far i feel like the little stutters a not as bad now when scrolling. i also have the samsung package app disabler from google play store that helps save memory for non rooted phones. update was about 100mb over wifi and i needed to have an active sim card for the file to push over.
I installed the update on my S6 Edge and one thing I noticed that's missing is the battery optimization feature that Samsung built which is similar to the upcoming Doze/App Standby feature. It was released in this update on the t-mobile and international versions but I don't see it anywhere on the AT&T version. I'm not sure why they removed a feature that can greatly improve battery life but that's AT&T for you. I also don't see Wifi calling in this update. It appears to basically just be bug fixes, security updates and VoLTE improvements with HD Video and ability to send larger videos over SMS.
My phone auto-updated without my permission today. I was holding off on the 5.1.1 update, let alone the baseband update. The device management alert came up earlier in the day, but I told it to remind me later. Instead of doing that, though, it looks like it decided to do the update. WTF AT&T?!

Do you know what size of video we are supposed to be able to send? I tried on my S6 to send a video to my wife and the default messenger app still shrunk it down to 692K. Garbled garbage still at that compression.
---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------
I'm just glad it didn't fix the bugs I've had since updating to 5.1.1 and losing root. I really want to keep those as long as possible. #sarcasm #whydidntibuyinternationalversion
The battery life is definitely much better in terms of standby time. It's a night and day difference for me. Looks like we did get the battery optimization. It just doesn't show up in the settings like on other versions.
I guess all we can do, is hope that the update to OJ7 has created security hole(s) and will allow our wonderful XDA developers an opportunity to utilize it/them to gain root again. I know it sounds like a pipe dream but its no more or less what we have currently, on OI2.
I'm actually having worse battery life after the update than before, I just wiped my cache yesterday so I'll report back later but I find that even with Enhanced LTE disabled my battery is draining a lot more. I'll give it a few days though and see how it is now......my biggest issue is I find that my app usage is quite a bit higher than before and my cell standby in gsam is higher as well though it no longer appears in the lollipop battery stats.
a link to download the new OTA?
I'm on stock and tried the update 2x and both failed at 30%?
Edit: Did a factory reset and the OTA still fails.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
Battery is alright on OJ7. Slightly worse than OCE but its not bad.
I did a cache wipe and that seems to have fixed the drain i was having. I'm trying out VoLTE again to see if that's any better now. Overall I'd say the battery life is similar to the previous build. I do have an odd issue today, at about 100 hrs uptime and my LTE keeps showing up while on Wifi for several minutes, then it goes away and then a few minutes later it reappears. This was before I turned back on VoLTE. I did try toggling airplane mode but that didn't resolve it. I do see there is a new build series that is OK# starting to rollout so probably some bug fixes there if we see it, who knows if we'll get that or if AT&T will have us wait for 6.0.
Can anyone please get the files for the update so that those of us that cannot OTA can update via ODIN.

There is a really small one but I found what's going on. Honor was making device run at max in benchmarks and normal in all the other apps. Now they made a "Performance Mode" option which uses phone's maximum performance whenever you want. With max performance it almost hits same benchmarks as before..

I see. I suspected the same.
I have the same in my p20 pro i had 201,000 i antutu no after pie a i have 150000 ? waht to do ?
I am getting 207604 from AnTuTu V7.1.3 on Android Pie.
Do we really wanna upgrade to Android 9 then? Not that's available on Europe but soon it will be. Android 8 runs perfectly fine.
Score lower because cpu speed is around 1,5 GHz and only use 80% CPU performance based on stress test antutu
I'm sorry, I know I'm probably blind but for the life of me, I can't seem to find that performance mode option. Can I ask a kind soul here to point me to the right direction?
It's under the battery settings I believe it appears when you're above certain percentage.

So Guys I'm having a really poor battery life on my Note 9 on Android 9. I get aprox 5 hours screen ontime, I used to get 8-9 hrs on beta pie or oreo. I just use my phone for social media apps, YouTube and stuff. Is there any one else who's having this issue? Can anybody recommend something to me for improving the battery life?
...........
Its a serious concern guys, battery life was the main reason I bought this phone for and its a real shame that the battery is so damn poor on latest update!
