lol how is that even possible. you've stated many times that your s6 is lightning fast and buttery smooth without hiccups. somehow its even faster than lightning fast now?

pingpong does not work after att update, plus no way to update if you are rooted, you can download but you can't install the update. must revert via odin or smart switch and than update, but you can't root with pingpong after the ota

I'm sure pinpong will be updated soon to work with AT&T and this update. Keen Team seem to work rather quickly.
Yes, I realize you have to revert back to non-rooted stock rom to get OTA updates, and I'll do that for the 5.1.1 update. Actually I might wait until hey have root for 5.1.1 first, if possible

Because updates that state there's performance enhancements may, in fact, produce performance enhancements?

This update does not address the memory issue or the Application management issue that Lollipop 5.0 has. This is just a small software update to Lollipop 5.0.2. Not sure how big ATT update is, but the T-Mobile version was 177MB and released via OTA before the S6 went on sale April 10th, and Sprint has just released there's at 122MB. According to Samsung this was to address the Fingerprint scanner problems, update many of the Lollipop applications for better performance, as well as other tweaks. Samsung has released their Lollipop 5.1.1 update to all major phone carriers and have stated that they have finally fixed the memory and app management issues along with improved battery life with 5.1.1. As to when this update is released via U.S. carrier's has yet to be announced, but rumor has it Galaxy S6 owners could see it as early as June sometime.

Where, exactly, did Samsung say their 5.1.1 update fixes the memory management issue and improves battery life?

What were you getting before the OTA update?

 

[timon159]

Maybe half of that

 

[jcp007]

Maybe half of that

Moderate or heavy use?

 

[timon159]

Moderate or heavy use?

Normal use i would say. But no matter the use the battery last way better. They must have fixed some battery bug with this update

Haha I want to try the new update but I did root mine using ping-pong ,, I guess I'll just wait another update when they fixed the memory leak .

I did notice my battery was a bit better after the update

I got an update for the Australian version. It feels like things just got much more stable and a little quicker. Three updates in one day

1. OS update
2. Nova update
3. Switched from google keyboard to SwiftKey

The S6 just got better, we don't even have 5.1 yet. Patience is worth it.

Great to see that if was not the only one who has experienced positive results from the. OTA update.

I found out once that you can manually change the date on your phone and it will let you check for the update again.

SIDE NOTE:

Anyone else dislike the fact that after you check for a software update, it forces you to wait a minimum of 24 hours before you can check again?

Try manually setting your date ahead by 24hrs and it should let you try again. I did this once with a Note 3 and it worked just fine.
