          AnonD-609179, 16 Nov 2016i noticed some bugs after 6.0.1 1. when watching videos... moreThank you for replying ..
          I notice the same issues. .
          Yes it is true ;
          1 - Screen blink in blue color time to time while watching videos ( I using stock app it is enough for me ) , and there is some issues in sound alive after updating to android 6.0.1 .. there is no big deference between 7.1 channel effect and music preset equalizer .. and the later is some what quite ..it was much better before the update ..
          2- the same sound alive issues I already found on stock music player .. there is an issue with 7.1 channel effect ( I noticed that there is no problem if you play a .flac file ..sound alive work better but a 4 minute song is 50 mb if it was a flag file !!! ) , and yes adapt sound not working .. ( it wasn't ether before updating android )
          3- The lock scree sound effect is nearly gone .. it became so quite and very hard to hear after android 6 update
          4 - vibration is gone if you tap and hold a shortcut or widget , both if placing or replacing on the home screen
          5- The same vibration issue go for soft keys , it supposed to vibrate twice if you tap and hold on soft key .. nowe it vibrate just once
          6 - battery drains fast but I think maybe android 6 is more power hungry than android 5.0.2
          7 - System not measure how apps using battery .. if you lunch smart manager and go to battery screen .. there is no information .. unless the app using Internet connection .. and even not as accurate as before ..
          8 - there is something that was happened twice .. I turned screen on and I found that it colors green with brighter green lines from screen left side .. what makes me worry about it from damaging
          I hope the update you talking about solve these problems ( at least the important ones )..

            A5, 12 Nov 2016So , can you name some bugs you noticed that been fixed a... morei noticed some bugs after 6.0.1
            1. when watching videos (formate like wmv , flv and HEVC or x265 videos) in stock player or even in mx player ..the screen flickers in blue colour or sometimes blinking in blue colours..
            there was no problem in playing with other formate like mp4 and divx etc..

            2. bettery drained problem....

            after this minor update (45 mb) these problems are solved except one and that is adapt audio in music player ..there is no effect when adapt audio is on....but that is not a big issue.. i hope next minor update will fix it....

            i have galaxy A500g/ds and i got 6.0.1 on 5 sept and got this minor update on 5 november. i hope you will get this update soon...

              I upgraded my A5 yesterday, and til now is ok. Best performance, lower system storage, I liked it! The only issue is lost of facebook sync. S Planner became a piece of shit, losing connection with facebook.

                                Anonymous, 30 Oct 2016No wonder Samsung halt the update to other market, now i am... moreYou are so lucky .. I don't have problem with android 6 itself .. but Samsung UI is .... you can name it as you wish ..every update make it worse :( .. I hope they fix UI problems very soon if there ( and I hope ) another update ...
                                You said that Samsung stopped sending update to some markets .. strangely ( and unfortunately ) I got my update just 5 days ago I make factory reset several time's .. but nothing change .. I honestly ( for another problems ) make factory reset about 40 time in just three months ..
                                I'm Samsung fan for years .. but this is worst experience With smartphone I ever had
                                Please Samsung ... you can do a much better jop than that ...

                                  Meanwhile my Xiaomi Mi3 has no issues with MM 6.0.1 update.

                                  Samsung seriously need to revamp their UI development team.

                                    I realize that sound not work properly on the video player either
                                    Then .. phone restarting by itself while sharing some files .. what is that .. every update make the phone worse rather than fix earlier issues ..
                                    It is very disappointing what Samsung do these days

                                        After android 6 update .. I quickly noticed some issues .. the big one until now is battery .. it drains like hell .. after browsing for just 30 minutes battery dropped from 100 % to 81 % and that is about twice what I could get before ..
                                        The lock screen sound became too quite and hard to hear .. I tried to increase system sound volume and it improves it a little .. but still quite .. there is no longer viral feedback when tap and hold an icon .. soft keys vibration get its hit too ( soft Letts supposed to vibrate twice if holding it .. it vibrates once now ) .. and now my battery became 78 % ..
                                        I hoped that update solve issues I experienced before ( issue with music player equaliser that is not work properly .. try to ply a song and open my files apologize without stopping your song and play any mp3 from your " my files " app .. then play your song again you will find that 7.1 channel effect finally work the same goes to adapt sound option .. change your song from music player and 7.1 and adapt sound stop working again ... ) .. there is another issue with the light sensor that increase the brightness but not decreasing it .. phone screen must completely face up to make light sensor work to dim it
                                        If any one know how to solve any of these please help me ..
