Is anyone else getting a text message from 8737 after the update. I been getting one roughly every 2 to 3 hours with a bunch of letters and numbers...

I have had this in the past. Just blacklist the number. It's a voice-mail provisioning attempt that gets stuck in a loop. Nothing bad comes from blacklisting it.

You guys are killing me. Every time I get a notification I get all excited thinking is news about the Marshmallow update. J/k I'm glad you found out about the offers. LOL   Sent from my SM-N920P usi

My point is that its not central to his question and was unneeded.  I know plenty about power, distribution and heat. We can all imagine what happens when you push electricity into space, it's not as

Something major just happened! I just got samsung pay to work at sonic and a gas pump! They said it wouldnt work but I got it to work. You just have to really hold it next to it and move the phone all

I'm hardly ever on WiFi so I don't think I have encountered this glitch? I get LTE everywhere so I hardly remember to turn it on.

It's where the phone drops Wi-Fi throughput when inactive for a few minutes and the connection has to be reset to get connectivity back.

I had an app or process that goes by the name of Media Server which is what was sucking all the juice. Did a Factory reset reinstall  my apps and the hemorrhage seems to have stopped.

I'm not impressed with marshmallow. Put it in the campfire. Not sure what the hype was about but it's not worth the omg i can't wait for the new Android operating system! That's my opinion that's all. You guys like it then cool. Again im not impressed.

How's everyone liking the Marshmallow update?

What's the pros and cons with Marshmallow update?

I like the new boot animation, app permissions, the fact that I can look at photos and take pics while still being in the messenging app, the faster fingerprint scanner and api so more of my apps support it plus I can use it for play store purchases which is way faster than password, and doze is awesome. No more bad standby times. I also see that the multitasking problem has vastly improved, love the new google emoji and the new samsung browser to me is better than chrome. Two things I dont like so far is lte drops faster at edge of cell than it did before but its really minor and mostly unchanged and on screen battery seems to drain a little bit faster than lollipop.

Yes, I agree with this.  The app permissions are sort of a hassle to get used to, BUT I did find it to be useful with 2 different apps I was sick of having access to my photos.  Kept dumping chat images into the gallery, so I could stop that. I really like being able to control the notification peeks too.  The MM update works smoother with my android wear watch as well.  

 

I really have been liking and using the Google Now on Tap, more than I thought I would have.  Was home in STL this weekend for Easter and used it several times to find addresses quickly to places we were texting back and forth about.  The screenshot to share is also very quick too, however, Samsung already had a quick shortcut to share a screenshot as it was. 

 

I haven't noticed much in the way of worse signal or drops yet. Bluetooth connection is still solid, streamed music all the way down and back to STL to my Durango.  Oh yeah, here's the biggest improvement in this arena.....the phone doesn't warn me that I'm going to damage my ears at high volume anymore after the first time!  I always have my media set up to top volume, previously when I'd connect to my Durango, it would warn me again that the high volume would be damaging to me and if I didn't click "ok" then the volume would stay low.  Currently it doesn't ask me that on MM.  This is a huge improvement to my life, sounds silly, but seriously it is. 

 

I think they've added some useful tweaks with MM.

I noticed that warning is gone too. It was so annoying.

Wait, I still get that warning, though only the first time i turn up the volume after a restart. Did you disable it somehow?
