Has anyone had problems or noticed a lack of signal after applying this update? Before this, I almost always had full bars and very speedy (27 Mbps avg) 4G Lte until I installed the build AUCU1BNK3 and now I only get 2 to 3 bars constantly dropping to 2. Plus when I go into additional settings for phone calls I get a SIM card error message. Additionally it has been dropping back more often to 4G and sometimes it even glances at Edge. I did not have this situation before. Could they have done something to slow it down cause web pages loaded fast before and now they load noticiably slower?
My whole phone seems f'ed since the update. Email Facebook.....
I have this issue too. I disabled HD Voice under networks and noticed an improvement.

Also having major wifi speed issues and the same issues with the network switching to edge since the update. I've contacted ATT twice today and they completely disregard this update as being the issue. I think I'm going to take my stuff to t-mobile and just switch

Helen Keller: Since we are able to determine thatHD voise has no impact on your wifi network, replacement of the device will only result in getting the same model with the same 4..4.4 update is not an option. We need to do more troubleshooting and this could result in have the device tested at our Device Support Ctr.
I do see that I'm not the only one with the Sim card error. This has caused me a big problem as my gear s is not getting my calls forwarded.
I had the same problem. Did some research and found that other people with different Samsung device's had same problem. They said to clear cache and data for the phone app. Worked for me as far as gear s forwarding calls again.

Can you provide a bit more detail on where to disable that? There is no "Networks" setting. And with all the menus, I haven't found it. I also looked at settings on the call, didn't find it.

I've been noticing wifi issues in certain apps, but not on the mobile network in those same apps. As to the loss of the network signal strength after the update. I haven't seen any changes in the bars.
Anyone noticing that the battery drains a little quicker after the update?

I went from averaging 5 hours of SOT to about 2. This update is terrible.
My note 4 won't sleep. Something is causing wake lock. Draining battery. How does this not get tested before release? Ugh.

Yep. Same problem here.
This update messed up my signal.. It forced me to update it after I postponed it however many times. I'm going to download the stock file in the general section and reflash it.

Hello Everyone,
I am running the Virgin Rom with Ktoonsez.
I have been trying to find out the solution for more than two week but cannot find the solution. I got this strange problem in my phone, When I put my phone idle I get the full lte signal but however when i try to call someone all my signal get disappear but the strange thing is i can still talk to that person without the signal. As soon as i hang up my phone i would get all my signal back, when i get my signal back i can do normal browsing, watch video etc. I mean its no major issue, I was just wondering whether if there is any solution to get any signal bar back.

More device details please friend. What baseband are you on? NB4? If not, then you need to be on NB4 modem. If so, then it's possibly a kernel related issue I suggest flashing the latest build of Ktoonez kernel for AOSP, be sure to flash the right one for your phone. Example, don't flash the TouchWiz version

Sounds like it's working as it should! LTE cannot process phone calls so the device switches to 4g or edge depending on your area's reception. after the call is terminated, there is a very short delay, and you're reconnected to LTE (if there is reception for lte where you're at)
The device (depending on your settings) will try LTE, then 4G, then last resort to Edge when it's not on a call and just idling. It will connect when your device wants to access the internet or whatever, and selects the proper frequency (or mode) and use that for the connection..
check Settings/More Networks/Moble networks------ then under Network mode, you will see the connection choice.
if you tap on the network mode, it will give you different connection choices.
If you want LTE, you have only one choice and it downgrades itself as required as explained above.
you can save battery power by going to a lower frequency (like GSM only - which is edge Edge)
hope this helps you understand!
Aloha!
I want to flash the NB4 modem since im having the conection and do know how to use odin, just curious how to flash the modem as a .rar, I thought it had to be a .tar. so I felt it would be better to ask first before I brick my phone. I used the download for "Insane kit kat" I even unzipped it to find it still in .rar format

If you properly unzipped it and placed it in the phone slot of your odin program, you should be fine. Most people fail with either unzipping or placing it into the correct slot which in this case is the phone slot and not the PDA that you would use for a lot of other functions.

Hey folks. White Tmobile G3, had it for about a week.
probably about every other day my data will just drop. it will show "4GLTE" with several bars, but the arrows under the symbol flash on and off. Nothing will load, and speedtest says there's a network error. Turning the data off and on won't fix it, but a reboot will. is this normal, or should I exchange it?
Happening to mine as well. Toggling airplane mode fixes it for me

Mine does the same thing, but can't answer your question. The pessimist in me thinks it could be some shady trick Verizon does to seep more data out of us for overages.
Was going to post this same question, I remember on the galaxy s4 they had the caller id app causing the issue, doesn't seem to be the case this time. Also tasker can't control mobile data on lollipop anymore, so that's out of the question.

I had the s6 edge before this for a couple days and this phone is similar from what I've noticed some apps require carrier data to provide authentication and some phones use both Wi-Fi and lte to download faster this phone does it at times it's just not really a feature to turn on and off yet like it is on the edge.
Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app
I've got the H815 and can not confirm this. I never had a phone that did this, save you activated that option within an Xposed module. I did this on my Note 10.1 2014 LTE because I wanted to check the connectivity strength of my carrier even when I had WLAN enabled. But out of the box? No.
On the G2 pre-lollipop, we could change the icon set and hide data icon when on wifi.
After lollipop, it seems to stick regardless. Annoying I know.
The only downfall of the LG is the intense amount of status bar icons. I really only used xposed to hide most of those and have centerclock. Need root first though. Not sure if xposed is supprted without a custom recovery yet. They disabled activation through the app until testing was complete.

Same to me, im on T Mobile galaxy S6, i just update mine to 5.1.1 and this anoyin bug start to show.
When im on Wifi the Data icon show up randomly:crying:
For what it's worth, I set up a tasker profile along with autoinput for when I connect to my saved wi-fi access points it would turn my mobile data off. Now it's not a smooth as tasker before lollipop, but it gets the job done.
That's a Verizon thing, same appears on my Moto X. Doesn't bother me, I'm always interested to see signal strength available even if I'm using data via WiFi.
This is how every Verizon phone has been for the past few years. This is intended and I honestly prefer it.
After months of waiting for AT&T to update our $700 phones, the update is quite buggy. Are there fixes out for the various problems with Marshmallow?
1. WIFI connectivity comes and goes. It is difficult to overstate the seriousness of connectivity bugs for power users on a phone with no removable media. My WIFI connects to a network (usually, but not always) but it won't stay connected long. It will drop out and reconnect seemingly when it so chooses. It does seem to work to force a reconnect by cycling WIFI on and off. This bug is horrible.
2. Battery drain is not something I've complained about on this phone til now. If I don't KEEP my phone in ultra battery conservation mode, with regular use the battery lasts a couple of hours TOPS.
3. Mobile data connectivity is now buggy as well. Like the WIFI, it comes and goes. Though it is more consistent than the WIFI.
4. Facebook disconnects constantly. I don't know if this is only because of the mobile data and WIFI connectivity issues or if it is a specific app problem with Marshmallow as well as the WIFI/network issue.
What bugs are you all seeing and are there fixes available?
I agree with 1 and 3. Way to many times to reboot. I like the one that was snuck out from underneath them.

Yes, most of us wiped multiple times. This update is garbage. I was the one who told many to do a reset or clear cache on the sideload. That fixed all issues on PE5, the PE6 OTA is the worst update I have seen from any company ever. I have all of the mentioned issues with wifi, screen staying on, and EXTREME battery drain. This must be a joke and AT&T is probably laughing at us all.

Sorry to hear about your problems. PE6 on mine via sideload with full factory defaults so not sure if you will accept this as a comparison. Did a full backup and restore with Samsung Smart Switch to try and maintain as much as my previous apps/config as possible. However, since upgrading, my phone has been very stable and battery life has increased quite a bit. Old firmware, battery would be 36%-ish by end of day and with PE6 seeing it at 56%-ish now so very happy there. As for the data connectivity issue, my wifi has been very solid and mobile data connectivity has been solid as well but didn't have an issue on lolli either. I don't do Facebook so nothing to compare there. Over all, I am very happy with the upgrade.
Received as OTA, cannot detect any problems the OP is having on my own device.
Was having a small issue with Wifi turning itself off once upon reboot after installing Good Lock, but it doesn't seem to be doing that any longer. Battery was a bit unwell after OTA and setup but has settled to 0.5%/hr resting drain now.
Looking good to me.
I took the Ota. Only bug I've found is settings crash when selecting theme from the android settings.

The only observation I have after the OTA update on my is #3 the battery. MM seems to drain a battery a little quicker, but at the same time my Note 5 is much snappier and more enjoyable to use. I decided to installed PD 6.x per some users here suggested. That took care of the battery. Other than that, I don't see any other issues OP mentioned.

I had a bad android system battery drain... used ABD to do a batterystats dump and discovered it was Google Backup causing a major wakelock all day long. Every single day since updating... I disabled Google Backup in the Backup and Reset menu in settings... rebooted into recovery mode... cleared Cache... rebooted again... battery life has been almost double since.

Hey All was just update to 24.31.22. I think I am in a beta group. Anyhow Wifi calling is now part of the Droid 2 along with unspecified security and bug fixes..
Cool. Looking forward to it. Still just 6.0? Or 6.0.1?
Is there a new modem to go with the update? My biggest complaint ATM with my Turbo 2 is random hang-ups with the radio where nothing wants to load, or random stutters in audio when streaming music.

It's showing available for me now, I saw something posted about it over the weekend. Latest security patches and WiFi calling. 623 MB's, update it on WiFi.
---------- Post added at 03:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------
Update installed ok for me, up to the Sept patches and 6.0.1 as mentioned. I can't get WiFi calling to enable yet.
Edit: I had to re-enable the disabled Verizon apps I shut down when I "debloated" the phone to get the WiFi set up to work. I read you just need Verizon Login but that didn't work so I turned everything back on, set it up and disabled them again. Just a tip if you disabled apps.
Update installed fine here as well. I don't care about it too much ATM though because my Nexus 6 just got 7.0.0
Just updated myself and activated wifi calling. I get marginal service at my house so it's a plus for me

Anything happen if you tell the phone to check for updates under Settings, System Updates?
The radio issues that I was hoping were fixed are still there. Random times where there is no network connectivity despite having a decent 4G signal. I've also had times where I just randomly loose 4G and go back to 3G for a short period for no reason, then 4G just magically comes back. Never had the same issues with my Nexus 6, so I know it is a phone issue. Wife has the T2 as well, and she has random network issues as well.
I have noticed with mine yesterday that it wouldn't send a text while it had good 4g service a few times. A reboot fixed it. Only issue, besides battery life not being as good as I feel a phone like this should be, is when I am in my car either playing a podcast/music over Bluetooth and I pull into my driveway and connect to my wifi network my Bluetooth disconnects from my car and then after like 20 seconds reconnects. Not a huge issue. Just annoying. It's happened since the original marshmallow install though and FDR doesn't fix it.

I got the update like a week before my wives phone. It's that that called a soak test?
I finally got the update today. But then again I have found OTA updates very inconsistent.
Not sure if it's because my Turbo 2 knows that it's getting replaced or what, but I've had several radio related issues over the past 2-3 days. Loosing network connectivity, slow connectivity, bluetooth skips, etc. Issues I've never expected to have from a Motorola device. Thankfully my backup Motorola phone, the Nexus 6 works fine without these issues. Just need to hold myself over until my Pixel XL shows up.
I have had some weird issues after the update also. I took the update and could not get Wi-Fi calling to work. So Verizon told me to factory reset the phone. Now my Wi-Fi calling is enabled however the call Quality is poor with or without HD voice, and everytime I reboot my phone it boots to the AP fastboot screen. Then I have to press the power button to start and it will Start Up Normally.
Any thoughts on this one.
BTW, they are sending me a replacement device and I'm probably going to be upgrading to the Pixel XL anyways
