Android 6.0.1 issues thread

So the big issue is that the contacts, calendar entries and the gmail on my device are not syncing with the servers. Whey you look at the accounts sync screen on my device I get an error message. With the calendar specifically I will create an event on my device and it wont appear on the online version of my calendar and vice versa. This is also the method I use to help backup my phone, by the way. All of this was happening without issue prior to the upgrade to marshmallow. Now it is a really big problem.

You could try removing your Google account and re-add it. This might allow it to sync up again.

tried that. didnt work.

Last resort would be a factory reset.

See if your Google play services are updated to the latest version.

If you have another Gmail account, add that in and try syncing with that one.

I haven't noticed the battery life issue but I can't open my gallery! I've cleared the cache as other users have suggested but its still not working.

I'm also annoyed that there is an additional lock screen that forces you to swipe. I already have the pattern lock which I can quickly get into. If I don't swipe correctly the first time, I find myself swipping repeatedly just to get to my pattern lock. I haven't figured out how to remove it.

For the gallery, try running your phone in safe mode. If it still can't open, you have to do a factory reset. If it can open, which means one of your downloaded apps is preventing the gallery to run normally.

For the lock screen, it is a new feature that you must swipe first before inputing the pattern/password. I suggest you to just use the fingerprint lock. It's better, more secure and you dont have to swipe first.

Hello, my sidebar (sidepanel) on s6 edge has disappeared after the update. I dont have 'edge panel' option in my 'edge screen' settings. There's only edge feeds and edge lightning. I checked Edge screen app in Galaxy apps, it says it is installed but I cant open the app.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Is Your phone is carrier locked? If yes, most likely your carrier decided to turn off the edge panel feature for reasons.

Weird, I thought I had edited my previous post. No, the phone has been paid off and is unlocked.

But do you receive updates from your carrier or straight from samsung? Is there any O2 apps preinstalled on your phone? Most likely your carrier removed/blocked the edge panel feature for reasons.

Is the edge panel option gone or just greyed out?

I'd say that updates come straight from Samsung. Long time ago, I have uninstalled all the O2 apps but one - My O2 (I forgot about that one), so I am going to uninstall it now.

Edge panel option is gone.

I HATE the 6.0.1 update. It's garbage. Hate the new layout. Facebook and most other apps won't connect. Voicemail stopped working. Lags. Keyboard sucks and predicts words that are not even close to what I want. Keyboard still laggy. Apps don't work half the time. Marshmallow is complete garbage. I dispise it. It's making me want to go back to iPhone. Android has this new obsession of becoming just like Apple and I hate it. Go back to the android we all know and love. I have a Galaxy S6. I also hate how now when I crop a photo, I have to hit edit, THEN crop, then crop it, then after I crop it, it saves the new picture in a new entirely different album. WHY!!?!?!?! I don't need another album cluttering up my gallery. The old way was better. Starting to hate android.
