Galaxy S6 4G+ G920I gets Lollipop version G920IDVU1BOF6 in Singapore, Not the Android 5.1.1 Update yet

Singapore's Samsung Galaxy S6 4G+ (SM-G920I) has got another Lollipop update that will bump up the build version to G920IDVU1BOF6. This update is still in Android 5.0.2 base and it's not the Android 5.1.1 update yet.  The latter is the 3rd consecutive update that has officially sent out by Samsung in Singapore alone.  We can not tell the benefit of the update and what new stuff it could offer to all Galaxy S6 4G+ owners as there are no official announcement released by Samsung Singapore support itself. Moreover,  every firmware update bring  more improvements to the device performance and stability.  This also includes bug fixes to some potential problems in the device that might have been found from the previous update. So better manually check the update thru Over-The-Air (OTA) and Kies/Smart Switch as we spotted it and it's already in there earlier today. Here are the list of firmware u...

There are some good reason why some  folks prepared an Android smartphones instead of something else. One of these main reason is that they liked on tinkering and tweaking their devices. People that used to loved into rooting installing custom OS,  so they can install any 3rd party apps that requires a rooted device before it  can be actually installed. Whilst using a customized OS rectified the device the way how it look and fe...
