I just got my S6 (yes, I did not get the S7. Doesn't come with 128GB memory, and after 2 years with an S5 a sd card is not a solution), and I can't for the life of me find the email widget that I used to have on my stock S5 firmware... Did Samsung (or google) get rid of that in marshmallow?
On the same note: car mode seems to be gone too, or am I again just not seeing it?
S6 SM-G925F G925FXXU3DPBF
Look for this.
Standalone car mode is gone, but certain apps have it built in and you will find it in the app settings.

so in my brief time with the galaxy s5, I saw how Samsung decided to remove lock screen widgets which irked me. I see they're continuing their antics with the tab s series.
this makes things like Google music and Netflix useless when using chromecast etc because it removes the easy way to just pause and skip via the lockscreen.
I installed xposed and installed a Galaxy S5 mod that was supposed to enable lock screen widgets again, which I'm sure it did for the s5 users but it doesn't work on the tab.
does anyone have any idea or solution as to the best way to do this? there has to be a way.

Hate this!
Same here, have you found a work around? I mean just listening to music makes it harder to just pause and restart. Always need to make pattern, very annoying!

Yeah....this sucks.
Lockscreen Widgets for rooted Users
Guys, do we have a solution in the meantime or still have to install an alternate launcher ? I am on SkyHigh ROM 4.4.2. and want to stay there for the next months...
I thought @THEDEVIOUS1 (he did it on his ROM) and maybe @Goldie (he did it on the s5 I think) might have a solution for us ?
nobody ? so thats bad news
Hi
Picked up my new Tab S 84 just under a week ago and am v pleased with it. Can't believe how things have changed / improved in Android tablets since the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (loved that too!)
Anyway, I use the tablet mostly for work so emails, documents, remote working etc. I noticed that the native email widget is missing despite me having several email accounts setup on the device. is this normal? seems odd given that every Android device I've owned thus far has had this widget and I'd really like to use it.
Also, the tab s has IR built in but where's the app? I also use a galaxy S5 which has both of the above and works fine.
I'm wondering what else is missing!?! had also thought about a reset to see if that helps.
Another thing. I've got the LTE version and the battery life tho ok doesnt give that same 'oooo this is lasting forever' feeling like my old WiFi only Tab 10.1 and ipad 3 despite having very similar standby times. I have not ran any scientific tests tbh here.. but have decided to turn off 'mobile data' as I don't use it a great deal atm. hopefully this will improve things
Any thoughts on the above would be much appreciated.
Thanks

email widget and battery life?

I've also got the Galaxy tab S LTE...
User the WatchOn app for the remote.
I'm having the same problem with battery life and can't understand why there is no email widget! I've got a note 3 and just want the widget on my tab s!

Thanks re WatchOn. Just discovered that this week.
I have also discovered the location of the missing widgets.
If you scroll to the left to access the Magazine UI. You can either add an extra page here and add special widgets including s planner and email widgets us other stuff or delete each magazine section by holding ur finger on them and replacing them with a widget or an app.
It's actually quite neat. Got mine looking good atm. Tho I like this I don't know why Samsung removed the option for us to create a traditional widgets for email and S planner etc..seems a bit of a daft move.
As for the battery life.. Ive simply switched off data whilst am not using it. Had a good 4 hour spell on it last night doing some work with only WiFi on. It dropped about 25% which I didn't think was too bad overall.
I'm still monitoring this though.

here u go guys...the new V2 of my SuperSamsung rom which works with all tab s versions includes the ability to use stock widgets in any launcher as well as on the lockscreen (see post #2 in the link below for a screenshot)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/rom-supersamsung-v1-t2847070
as far as battery life...long story short u want to use apps with as much black as possible which saves major juice versus white pixels. i'm using dolphin browser with a night add-on (renders pages black) for my internet needs since most of the drain comes from the white backgrounds while wondering around on the web ...there have been test done elsewhere online that shows this thing has the worse battery life when it comes to surfing (like 6/7) hours while it has hands down the BEST battery life when it comes to watching movies (around 14/15 hours unbelievably!)

Hello,
Where is the "magazine UI" i don't understand.
From a Galaxy Tab S, i've the same issue. "Email" widget is not more available "normally".
Thanks in advance for your help.
Has anyone the Samsung S6 apps already running on the Note Edge and can provide a flashable zip?
Kind regards
no one man no can even give the dump of it.
I thought I saw a few for the note 4 in that forum. None of the actual APKS worked on my AT&T variant, but feel free to try :good:
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3065042
most of the apps from s6 are ported and working well, just s6 edge - people edge apk couldn't be found anywhere
I just get the S Planner working. Most of the others just FC. Would like to have the new Music-App but it always crashes.
EDIT:
SMusic works when you delete/rename the folder "arm" in priv-app/SamsungMusic_20
s6 health, planner, note, launcher are working with the most of the people, I am more concerned about the people edge app from the s6 edge to the note edge, that will make note edge far better than the s6 edge
I got the brand new T Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and love using it. I figured out that S Beam option is not available in the device to beam photos or videos. I found out that S Beam app is
listed out in the Apps section under Application Manager --> Applications --> All.
So I think S Beam app is shipped along with the device but for some reason it was not installed or enabled. I would like to know why it was not installed on the device. Is there any way to install S Beam app. BTW, my device is not rooted.

Hi there, unfortunatly the cool S-beam Feature found on previous galaxy devices was not developed for the Galaxy S6 nor the S6 edge.
the S-beam feature was sacrificed in order to to launch the new Samsung feature of wireless charging . it is still a great phone though with many other awesome features and hope you will enjoy it.

I had no idea where you get the information that S-Beam is sacrificed for the wireless charging. I personally thinks that wireless charging has nothing to do with S-Beam whatsoever (S4 and S5 can still have S-Beam even after using the special case for wireless charging).
S-Beam is working in S6, just differently (you can find "S Beam" in the Application Manager). Try beaming photos/videos from another Samsung device, and you'll notice the File Transfer is very fast. However the problem lies with sending from S6. For some reason Samsung limits this feature to just receiving files. If anyone finds out how to access the S-Beam feature and enabling it for sending as well please share.
Edit: Wireless Charging is not a "new" feature. Samsung just decided to include it in the phone since it doesn't have removeable battery anymore = no more removable back cover.
Anyway to make this happen? I tried just installing the apk but it didn't work. I would even put a rom on this phone if there was a way to get it to work. I have a gear S3 and I miss having my messages saved on my watch when I had my s8. Hopefully someone knows an answer to this. Thanks.
Not possible. You'd need various framework elements from TouchWiz/Samsung Experience which are not open-source.
