To update to MM or to not

Well the update finally hit and now I'm looking for anybody who is using it to share their experience(s). I'm scarred by the G3 update to Lollipop which basically broke the phone but that's another story. Does anybody know of a known bug list or anything like that which is being compiled?
Cheers

I like it. Haven't ran into any problems yet. I didn't OTA. I downloaded the firmware, factory reset my phone, then flashed via Odin.

Im running it for 2 days now, rooted and viper4android working. I love it. Battery life is good, Deep sleeps like it should. Very snappy and they made some minor changes to the UI. Just waiting on a fully compatible kernel now

I did the same, some say dont but i like change and this one is a good change

I just flashed the stock T-Mobile 6.0 firmware this morning. One change that annoys me is the swipe to unlock screen. I use pattern to unlock my phone. On 6.0 I get this screen before I can input my pattern, so it is an unnecessary extra step to unlock my phone. Very annoying.

I updated about two days ago, so far I like it a lot. My device seems to be running a lot smoother than before. Feels much better to me.

Wait till you use fingerprints to unlock the device, they have updated some security policy so they need secondary unlock method along with fingerprint to unlock the phone, that's very very annoying.. thinking of replacing fingerprint lock all together

Ummm...no. The secondary unlock is a backup for the fingerprints. You don't have to do both to unlock the phone. Just verified, turned the screen on, and held my finger in place...boom, unlocked.

Just when you restart the phone you need to put the secondary unlock method.
Phone is very fluid and I love it, best update i had in a phone in a long time.

Just 1 thing and I bet you'll like it.
No more laggy.

Wow first time I've seen a SW push on a phone that everybody seems to be pretty satisfied with lol. I took the plunge this morning and noticed the secondary password for fingerprints as well. However I know that's always been there as a back up and for whatever reason it had to be reset on the first boot but it's gone away now and is only a back up when it doesn't recognize my fingerprint more than three times. So far so good, I'm curious to see if there is any improvement on the battery life or not.
Thanks for the info everybody!

After I updated my phone to 6.0.1, I did a factory reset. I couldn't be happier. I use fingerprint unlock and have my phone encrypted. Since the release (4/11), I haven't had any issues with battery or performance. I did notice that the auto-brightness seems to be more aggressive than Lollipop. One issue I didn't like was that when I used All-In-One-Gesture to enable double-tap to sleep, I had to manually type my password every time to unlock the phone. I think because of my security settings (allowing an app to have permission to lock the screen), I wasn't able to fingerprint unlock unless I manually turned off the screen using the power button. Otherwise, I don't mind entering a long password every time I turn on the phone.
In standby, my phone would drain 15%-20% over 8 hours each night while I slept. With MM, my phone drains less than 5% each night now.

Anyone having problems with LED notifcations not working? It works when I'm charging, but not any other time. It is turned on in settings>display. I also made sure notifications settings for my apps were not blocked. Weird. So far I'm unimpressed by MM. Alot of things don't work right, like LED notifications The battery improvement is negligible. I was getting 5% battery loss overnight anyway. I didn't do a factory reset before/after upgrading. Maybe that will fix my problems.
Update: I fixed the LED notification by doing a factory reset in recovery. Now I have to reinstall everything . My phone is stock by the way.

it works pretty good all around ui is smooth it has a refined feel compared to the older updates

Battery life has been MUCH better for me.
Rooted+ Xposed. I even disabled the location wakelock module I HAD to use in LP, and it's still much better. SOT isn't really effected much, but screen off + listening to streaming music has more than halves battery usage for me, along with idle time.
Tthe phone is much smoother, and I have not experienced any lagging (have animations turned off, though). Plus, finger print unlock is tons faster. LP always lagged hard for me there, now it's almost as fast as the wife's 6s+.

I got a small issue with unlock function.
If I made screen of my hard button, I could use fingerprint to unlock the screen, but if I used 3rd-app to make screen off, I need to use back up method - PIN to unlock the screen.
Does anyone face the same issue?

Received the OTA update. I'm on stock.
Battery life is *slightly* better, but it's nothing to write home about.
The auto-brightness has been updated, and I feel it's not for the better. It seems to dim/brighten aggressively, and/or not work at all. It's been irritating.

I have that problem too. I forget which security setting it is, but basically it requires you to enter your password whenever an app locks the screen. I don't think there is any way around it. I uninstalled all my apps that lock the screen, except greenify, for that reason.

Great update
If you stick with the stock marshmallow update I think you will be happy. You are able to root it also without a problem.
If you make sure NFC and WiFi are turned off (When you're not using them) I personally have seen better battery usage than Lollipop.
I'm running the stock rooted marshmallow and it really is a beautiful update with a bunch of enhanced features. I would recommend.
As a bonus, it also gives your phone a radio update (which allows it to better contact T-mobile's towers).
If you really want a boost in speed, you should lookup changing your APN settings to force your phone into IPv4, because currently your phone will default to IPv6 which (at least for me) is a tad slower than IPv4.
Good luck and have fun messing around with the new update

yeah I'm with you on that.
Another thing that is annoying me, and maybe there is a setting to turn this off (if so please tell me as I've not yet found or really looked into it yet)...
It used to be that when I opened a link it would prompt me which browser or or program I wanted it to open with. I actually like being prompted each time because sometimes I want this a bit more secure and so would open with Orweb vs. Google.
Now it seems that once I select and option it becomes the default option until I go in and change it.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying it. I'm rooted running xposed and viper etc.
I really do want my gradient status bar back though...

Is Anyone's Note 9 powering off when you turn the screen off?

Hey there everyone,
Yesterday my phone started to have this odd issue where randomly the phone will actually die when I hit the power button to put the phone in standby. There's no errors, lights, or anything to go off... I have already re-formatted the phone, I saw another thread about taking the SD card out (which I've done with no luck) and the Andriod auto reboot setting is not on.
Now here's the kicker... I purchased the phone new from Amazon. However, because the phone is from Hong Kong and I live in Canada. Samsung won't service the phone. I'm not sure what else to do here... Is anyone else having this issue?

Can confirm your Problem with random Reboots as you described. Was horrible with last Updates but with CSDE things getting better i guess. I sent Samsung many Times reports with this Problem and they said this will be fixed. So with CSDE i had no reboot so far.

Sorry, whats CSDE? I've also found some articles on Samsung's support page where people are having the same issue... Over there the overwhelming remedy appears to be to disable the Fingerprint Sensor... I have just re-flashed the phone with Odin to see if this fixes anything before disabling the Fingerprint Sensor. I would hate to lose it, but I have no other choice with Samsung's disgusting policy on not fixing their international phones.
I kid you not, Samsung support advised me to board a plane to Hong Kong to visit a center....

Did you boot it?
mine works fine. 1

Disable Fingerprint unlock in settings.
This is an ongoing issue that I've been trying to raise awareness of and is occurring across both S9s and the note 9.
I believe it be a software issue since it began shortly after one UI update, but there are reports that replacing the FP sensor solves the issue.
I have been using my Note 9 without FP unlock for a little over a month now, and once you get used to intelligent scan only, its not that bad. You will still be able to use FP in apps and such without a problem.
Post everywhere you can and lets hope we can attract enough attention for a official Samsung response.

CSDE is the actual Buildstring for our Note 9, means the actual Software Update Mai. That's the first time i heard abbout that issue with the Fingerprintsensor. If this is true, this is a hardly big problem. But as i said so far, with CSDE the Problem is gone for my device. Had no random reboot so far, and in the meantime, i must have between 4 & 5 random reboots normaly. But thats not the case, so i guess they are working on it or just fixed it with CSDE.
I hope Samung fix that, if this case is a Hardwareproblem or Manufacturproblem whatever. Mean that they have to replace it for 0 cost normaly..

Okay so far so good, but i guess this cant be a soloution for us Noteusers that we deactivate a pice of Hardware cause we have random reboots.
Maybe we can all spam Samsung via Samsung Members App with this Problem as i done so many times the last weeks. Dont forget to sent a systemreport with it, so they can check whats going wrong. Had no random reboots so far with new Build, but if it comes back, i report every time it appears.

Sure enough, I went an entire day and this morning it happened again... I have now disabled the Finger Print Sensor and we shall see what happens.

have this same problem... the thing is.. once or twice I got see a popup about one UI stopped responding and the phone restarted... not sure if the FP scanner is causing it.

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't help, back up your device and perform a hard factory reset.

So till this day no random Reboots..Think they fixed it. Im still on CSDE cause the Mai Update still not Aviable for German dbt

Fingerprint login randomly disappears

So I've had my ROG Phone 2 for over a month now, and I've noticed something odd about the fingerprint login... About once every two or three days, the fingerprint login stops working (doesn't show up on the lock screen) and I have to login with my pin. As soon as I login with my pin the fingerprint login immediately starts working again. At first I thought my phone must be randomly restarting itself (cause at first login you have to use the pin) but it's not doing that because all my apps are still open when I log in and I never hear the Asus ROG bootup sound. Has anyone else had this happen?

Same here....I am using 8/128 GB Tencent Variant.

This is a new security feature in the current versions of Android, to insure the correct person is still logging in. I've yet to see a way to bypass it on any phone.

Also using the 8gb/128gb Tencent version. As Mr_Mooncatt posted though, I guess this is a new security feature of Android.

I can confirm this is not any fault with your phone.
Even Samsung have this similar thing that when you login few times with fingerprint, then it will all of sudden ask for you to type in your password or pin or w.e you got as second login method.
This is to make sure no one has been able to copy your fingerprint and then using it to keep accessing your device. So once this comes, they will be locked out from your device until they type in your password or pin or so.

Hi!
What do you mean? Is the screen locking itself on its own? You then have to unlock the screen?

Well... at that point i don't know what to say...
You should try uninstalling the updates (if you can) and update the phone again.
Then once you've done that, uninstall and reinstall the apps.
Then try to go in the settings and modify the delay before the screen goes off (even if in the end you choose the same timing, just try to change it a couple of times see if it makes any difference)
Best of luck !
Cheers !

exactly the same issue here with mi 9 lite

I've had similar problems. Sometimes, when I try to hear WhatsApp voice notes, systemui crashes, and I have to unlock the phone with my passcode. Then it says something like find device closed unexpectedly. It happens 3 or 4 times in a row until I gave up and stop trying to hear voice notes. Then I can try again and works just fine.

Try to reinstall your firmware using the fastboot method, you can get the tools from the MIUI forum and the file for your device. If that still doesn't solve your issue you might need to RMA your device as it could be an issue with the hardware.

I had the same problem, lost signal and go in lockscreen (android protection for no SIM) then i unlock the phone and all return ti work....Yesterday i install android 10 MIUI 11 the pasto update...and now all works create ? Hope the same for you

I've tried everything to get rid of the FP, it just won't go.

I even went so far as to disable the system AOD apk via an apk disabler tool & that did not work.
IDK if you ever found the actual toggle to turn it off......I finally found it by selecting the search result in Settings.
I typed in Always & stopped there,finding "Always-On Display".
The toggle is at the very top of the page (FWIW,I missed this earlier when in the settings,it was easy for me to overlook the toggle in dark mode).
If you've already tried this & it's still coming on,here's what I'm trying for the next day or so:
Turn Always-On Display back on & set a scheduled time for one minute.
For example,I've got it turning on at 4:00 A.M. & turning off at 4:01 A.M.
ATM,option 2,the scheduled on/off time,seems to be working.
EDIT;after a few minutes,AOD is coming back on.
This is annoying....... Not looking good as a keeper,not liking OxyColor OS at all,what a mess compared to the OP7T Pro.
Not just this,but,the settings layout (for individual app settings is a trainwreck & power/performance options not sticking,keeps reverting back to out-of-box settings.

Well I think I found a permanent fix for this...it's actually a bug (in my case anyway)
I was forced to wipe my phone, which was a huge pain due to a problem with a mod I'd installed..
Anyway on boot I set everything back up then realised it's got AOD on by default and I went a turned it off.
Low and behold it stayed off..no need to do anything.
So what I think has happened is the update that came recently (11_A.12) that could have caused issues, always good to wipe after an update.
I honestly don't know if this will fix things for you, but it did for me.
Couple that with the fact that I'm now getting unbelievable battery life...I think it's maybe a good idea to at least try, you may not fix your AOD but you may get better battery. As I did, I think you'll probably get both.
Here's a bunch of pics from the last 24 hours, midnight on Thursday evening /start of Friday up till now.
Absolutely amazing.

I just got the 1st system update for the T-Mobile US version.
The AOD option to turn it off is now working.
Here's what is/was strange, pre-update:
The only way I could see/access the Always-On Display settings/toggle was to have the stock OnePlus Launcher as the default home app.
Even then, AOD stayed on, whether toggled on or off.
I was able to figure this out from prior experience with the original Oppo Find X & VIVO NEX.
Very strange that certain (seemingly unrelated) settings would be hidden due to choice of home launcher,but,apparently,BBK doesn't see this as an issue/bug(feature, LOL) that needs to be addressed, guessing this "feature" is persistent on the home market China models/firmware.
Glad it was cleaned up for the T-Mobile US update.
On a somewhat related note, pre-update, I could not find a way to choose "No Lock Screen". I looked in the usual place to find such & it was not available, AFAIK.
Now, post-update, that setting is found in "Developer Options". (Why?????? LOL)
On an unrelated note, post-update, another bug has apparently been taken care of for the T-Mobile US version :
T-Mobile bloatware apps now stay disabled, if chosen to do so. Pre-update, they would re-appear after a reboot.
With these bug fixes, my outlook on keeping this phone has definitely changed for the positive. I still have about 10 days remaining before T-Mobile's buyer's remorse return window closes.
