AT&T update

[wildo69]

same here, download took about 1.5 hours (give or take), install went smooth, no issues on my S6
new icons and Samsung Pay present (Samsung Pay says its not ready to be used on my phone yet)

Overall everything else has been same/stable on the surface

Did you at least do a cache wipe or reset?

I didn't do a cache wipe before the install, would it still be helpful to do it now after the fact?

Yeah always do that after the update. Also, I generally do a reset even when it just goes from something like 5.0.1 to 5.1.1. Everyone doesn't, but I always do and I do that reset before I update, then update and cache wipe and set it up again.

The cache wipe can clear out any left over stuff that may not have been deleted when there was an update. After a cache wipe, if it seems buggy, you need a reset.

Some recommend it after a major update just to clear up "stuff". Never done it but will give it a go. Should be no issue.

Just did a factory reset to be safe. Just got a refurbished from att due to camera issues so what the heck why not. So far it does seem a bit snappier. Man was that update huge and take a long time!!

Android upgrading. Optimizing 50 of 135 apps.

I'm all for the reset myself, but many don't want to do it. If I remember correctly, my S6 Edge automatically set back up after a reset when I did it on mine.

Call it a psychological thing but it does seem a little snappier now! Plus I was starting to notice a bit of a more than normal battery drain so I'm hoping this upgrade and cache wipe will help that.

Thanks!

AT&T updated to 5.1.1, correct?

Yes, 5.1.1 now It was like a 690mb update.

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Yes, 5.1.1 now It was like a 690mb update.

Well then it isn't your imagination it is snappier lol. Keep in mind, you many need a reset with that update later if you start noticing issues.

So is it safe to assume Cricket S6 handsets will not be getting updated?

I don't know how Cricket does their updates. You can always take it to Best Buy and go to the Samsung counter. If there is an update for your phone, they will do it for free.

 

[jcp007]

New apps like Google Wallet, Games app, Amazon Kindle, and Samsung Pay.

Uninstalled the Games App. Disabled Amazon Kindle and Google Wallet.

When I went back to the Check Updates screen, saw the interruption message but I watched the download and install complete. About Device reflects 5.1.1

 

[DaHui623]

No. It just stopped and had a page saying it was interrupted.

Mine has failed 3 times. Each time downloaded successfully and on the restart displayed an error message. Getting tired of setting my date ahead so I can try again.

If you keep resetting your date, AT&T especially has been known to tell you that you have thousands of hours to wait to check the update again.

If you have a Best Buy near or an AT&T Device Center, you might want to run over there and let one of them flash your update.

Go to time and date settings, turn off automatic time and enter a manual date about 3 days from today, then you can try again.
