I received this update today and, as promised, Wi-Fi calling and YouTube Live Video Broadcasting are both now available. I've tested both and they work on my S6 Edge.
The App Edge menu is also now included, and works as well.
UHQA audio enhancements are supposedly in there too, but I have no compatible equipment to test that.

Yeah, I saw that there was some new notification feature in Samsung's messaging app, but since I use Verizon's Message+ it slipped my mind to mention it.
And before I get grief about using Verizon's app, I would just add that it is kind of nice having my SMS messages sync'ed across my desktops, tablets and phone - and not that I have anything against the Samsung native app.
I actually liked the app too but just didn't trust Verizon

I hear you, but I figure I've already sold my entire genome to Google and Verizon so it's too late to close that gate any longer.
Now they add the app edge. Too bad I've been using glove box for a while now.

Anyone else "Unable to activate WiFi Calling at this time"?
Rebooted, waited till morning, still no dice. Can't imagine why. Have good WiFi, good cell coverage. Advanced calling is enabled.

I'd call Verizon on that one, mine activated just fine.
Make sure your wifi is off while trying to activate it. Mine said that at first, I cut wifi off and then it worked perfectly fine.

Just noticed that, after this update, the "smart network switch" setting is gone.
Not sure if that means it is now always on, or if it is always off - but I know which ever way it is, it won't be able to be set the other way any more.
EDIT: Restarted my phone today, and the smart network switch is now visible in the WiFi advanced options list. I was probably wrong about it being gone in the first place, but I would swear it wasn't there when I wrote the original post.

Right. I should have been more specific about not having any way to test the UHQA Bluetooth capabilities. On a related note, I'm thinking of trying out Samsung's noise-cancelling Level headphones. I kind of like the control interface, that allows for track previous/next selection and volume adjustment by swiping the ear-cup
I am just downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up.
With those features. I almost don't even care I don't have root.
Just wish there was better selection in the Samsung theme store for free.
I mean the selection we have on the forums here is awesome.
As far as the sound quality goes. Make sure you tune the frequencies using sound alive as well. It makes a big difference on a per user basis.
Foxfi is working without any problems. Battery life feels the same. Wifi calling working as intended.
Is anyone else noticing with this update and the previous one that there are times where the phone seemingly bogs down but then acts fine a few moments later? Feeling like I should do a factory reset, I know the phone can get wonky after updates and it's always recommended to do that, but want to get feedback first if I'm the only one experiencing this?
wtf!!!, this update completely erased everything from my phone, its as if I did a factory reset. Good thing I have most of the things backed up on the cloud....but still....the hassle....
I guess I was due for a factory reset -_-

Just want to start off with our leaked official 4.4.2 24A update may or may not be a final release but why not start having some fun.
With anyone using the new Kitkat stock rom, please post any bugs, issues, New features, changes, etc.
I think I've picked up that the proximity sensor isn't as goofy as it was on JB. What about audio or compatibility issues? Did they fix the Exchange Push Email bug?

A couple of things I noticed off of the bat is that Knock On works every time after two taps. Isis does not work with root. There are a couple of games in this build: Andrio, deBlob, and a few extra apps that I can't remember right now (trying to keep root during this flash!). Overall it seems way smoother, but with few visual changes as expected. I'll report more findings later.

Smooth, not a jittery animation yet.. The touch response isn't as hyper-sensitive. My compass direction in maps is accurate after a couple slow spins(always 180 off in 4.2 for me)
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Don't know if anyone else posted this yet... But with 4.2.2, the included emoji font that was shown when using a keyboard like SwiftKey was monochrome and hard to read. On kitkat, it's a huge improvement - gorgeous color, and it appears to include more choices. Very nice!
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
I noticed when you lose a data connection the 3G icon in my case since I was in a rural area the changes to a faded color and the up and down errors below disappear, which is quite different from 4.2.2.
I haven't noticed the GPS thing on 4.4.2 yet, but it affected me on 4.2.2. The odd 180 direction created many weird directions thinking I turned or going the wrong way. I travel a lot so that is a big plus.
There seems to be a lot more bloat in this one. Lots to disable between several amazon, Verizon, and other 3rd party apps. I did see a VMWare remote desktop app in Running apps. I don't like that one bit. I'll have to get Root Explorer to really clean some of those out.

Being new to Verizon, I'm not used to the abundance of bloat. I'm a little nervous about just deleting most of it because I have no clue what it's tied to, what it might break. I am disabling a bunch...but it's ridiculous IMO.
It is a bit much but that's carrier politics for you.
If your unsure what is safe, your best bet is to do exactly what your doing. I've deleted something on 4.2.2 and started getting a popup animation error every time I plugged in USB or headphones.
A "Kit Kat Debloat" thread would probably be a good idea.
GPS is solid on 24A. Much better then being redirected all the time. I just drove 1.5hrs and was never asked to get back on the highway or do a U turn in the middle of a busy intersection.

I think the only thing I noticed so far other than what has been mentioned...the settings button on the notification pulldown has been moved up top as well as the date and time.. Fixed a minor annoyance there. It seems much faster, but still looking through for things that may be different. Also, the GPS icon in quick settings is gone (replaced with location?) and the annoying icon in the statusbar is no longer there.
Edit*** anyone know if there is an issue with Kit Kat and Adaway? Can't get it to work

Hey all! I just wanted to report my discoveries today. I have had a T-Mobile flat S6 for a little over a month now. My father has a S4 that I gave him awhile back, but wanted to get something new. I decided to give him my S6, and get an AT&T S6 Edge for myself. I'm' pretty used to being able to fully modify every aspect of my phones, because I normally only buy phones with unlocked bootloaders. I've done quite a bit of research, and experimentation, and found that even though we are pretty limited in our choices, we can indeed get something like the Alliance Framework to work, which adds a lot of functionality. What I did was install the XtreStoLite ROM from the main S6 Edge section using FlashFire. When it flashes, it will take you to an aroma installer. Could just be my phone, but the phone went totally crazy. Started flashing like crazy, but you could make out the aroma options. I was able to check the options I wanted, and flash. The install worked! After going through and setting things up, I then flashed the secondary package that you can install with the XtreStoLite ROM. Same thing happened where the phone would flash like an old tv that couldn't find signal. I was able to check all the modifications, including the built in Alliance Framework. It flashed fine, but got stuck trying to reboot. I manually rebooted, and after a few minutes, the phone came back on like normal. I checked everything, and the Alliance modifications are fully functioning. I just thought I'd share with you all, in case anyone is mod happy like I am. The link to the ROM is below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
Thanks for this find! Now I wonder if any other aroma roms work,lol

At&t GPS fix
Sent from my SM-G925A using XDA Premium HD app
I recently purchased a Droid Turbo to replace my broken BlackBerry Z10. I did the MOFO root with the tether option with 4.4.4 and every time I talk I lost my data connection. I read an article that mentioned this happening to the turbo, but it should of been fixed by now. I just got thru flashing another rooted ROM this time a 5.1 with the tether ability and still the same thing. I have noticed that with both roots the 4gLTE is white instead of blue, but I am unsure if that's the issue as Ive been running a BB for the last yr instead of a Droid. Any ideas? Has the game changed for Android rooted phones (is this normal)?
Thanks

You gotta call Verizon to fix this, just have them enable "Advanced HD Video Calling" on your line and the problem will go away.
There is no extra charge. It basically enables VoLTE.

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.

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.

What's up everybody? I don't usually post news topics but I feel like this was worth a change. Now I know it's been floating around that are AT&T branded Note 9's are getting the July security update finally. With that update came night mode within our cameras, also a QR scanner tile in the pull down menu.
I don't really know how many of you if any use the Android messages app or would like to use Google's own default text messaging app instead of Samsung's. But I'm just putting the information out there that we finally have chat features in that app now. So I'm assuming AT&T must have also pushed out the RCS universal profile to our phones with that July security update as well. I'm hoping that this post will help someone out because I know personally I've been waiting a very long time to be able to move away from Samsung's text messaging app.
Google is rolling it out to everyone. It is still not available for me after the update.
