5.1.1

[Phoneguy108]

What setting do I need to change to get the app icons to look like they did in 5.0?

Anyone know?

Seems quicker here too. Not sure if it's because of the upgrade or the factory reset I did after the upgrade.

I used the phone for a couple of hours after the update before performing the reset. It was just as quick as it is after the reset. It seems to definitely be improvements in the update.

Could you explain further what you mean?

I didn't reset my phone so......

A factory reset still did not solve my app control under accesibility?

So far so good after the update. Haven't noticed anything new besides Samsung pay and the icons are different. It is quite a bit smoother. I don't know if the battery life is different, I've always had really good battery life. I use Nova launcher, so I don't know how Touchwiz is now.

Oh, I did not reset after the update and every thing seems fine. I had the weird battery stats, but it was fixed after a reboot the next day.

All of your icons different or just some of them?

Samsung changed all the system apps shape. Third party apps keep their shape.

My Play Store, Google Maps, and few others still the old squared style. ..

I know updates are great for security patches and new features, but I always hold my breath when I update because while some things get fixed, always without fail, something else breaks. ugh

I didn't reset at all (I shudder at the idea) and have found the phone to be much snappier since upgrade. Hopefully it stays over the long haul because I'd noticed prior once a week or so, the got sooooo laggy I had to reboot it. Here is hoping the speed increase isnt just because it forced a reboot.

Anyone notice any extra configurations or options available now?

only real difference I have noticed is the color of the notification badges in touchwiz

The S6 Active does not have a Car Mode where you can set it to announce incoming texts to you, and read them out with a voice command. I heard that this update of Android would allow us to get that again. Can anyone confirm that?

Mine has always had DRIVE mode. I have disabled it.

ATT added video calling and advance messaging as well.

The stock Internet browser now has the "find on page " function. Glad that is back; missed it with 5.0

What does advanced messaging add?

Great news. I just found a firmware and will upload it to my Dropbox in a few minutes. Will post a thread to anyone in need. Of course you will need to use Odin for that

Any chance you could post the link when you get around to uploading it? I'm struggling to track down a download file.
