Any S6 owners use, and having issues with, S-Health on this device?
I had the S5 and S-Health was extremely accurate. I'd pace out 100 steps and it would record the same amount within a few steps. Two days with the S6 and the counts are ridiculous. First day it said I did 63km... I didn't! Today I reset it, sat down and got a notification that I'd reached my 10,000 step goal.
Is my sensor buggered? Is it the new version of S-Health? Do I need to take my device back within 7 days? Anyone else experiencing inflated step counts?

Seems correct for me. I need to have a really active day to hit 10,000 steps.
I wouldn't mind your readings... Would hit my Discovery targets easy-peasy

That's the one I'm on. v2.4. Great, stable and great battery life. Running Arter97 Kernel too, but would recommend you stay away from the Arter97 kernel unless you know what you're doing.
Anyone here on the MM beta?
Damn the fingerprint reader on MM is on steroids! I'd say its as fast as iPhone at unlocking now. Dare I say possibly even quicker...
Battery life isn't as good as LP but I managed to root and debloat now so let's see if it's as good as a custom ROM.

Did you sign up for the MM beta? Been following the progress on XDA - will probably plunge into it today.
Yeah I downloaded the C0I9 BTU firmware and signed up for the program. Take the plunge, im amazed at how smooth and fast the entire OS is.
Be warned the MM firmware is fully bloated with all the MS apps and Google apps etc!
There is a root method thanks to Arter97- this kids a android genius!

I am downloading the BTU firmware now. Do I need to do a factory reset after install?
Yes after flashing the firmware update must do a factory reset else your device will still have your old CSC code. This happened to me, my CSC was still showing XFV and device was showing as Custom. I think this has something to do with the fact the 920F is multi-csc.
Boot to recovery wipe cache and factory reset. Then your CSC will change to BTU.
Please backup your files before hand as you will lose all your files after the factory reset.
The download of the BTU firmware I used consisted of the 4 individual files for flashing in Odin - the factory reset happened without intervention when I flashed those, so I didn't need to do the manual reset. Received the MM update around 2 hours later - it's installing now.
What backup app do you use? My phone is not rooted.
I have used a paid version of titanium backup that I use to back up apps and settings. But alas most of my back ups I try restore (with or without) data fail : ( I think either TB needs an update or my LP back ups aren't compatible with MM
Since you don't have root just use App Backup and Restore easily found in Play Store. I haven't used that app in a while so I can't vouch whether your backups will restore on MM...
