"OPEN database: xx failed..." on Galaxy S6, Android 5.1.1

Tested on five Galaxy S6s, all have the same problem. (Edge and non-edge have some problem)

Running window.sqlitePlugin.openDatabase({name: 'mm'}); logs the message OPEN database: mm failed, aborting any pending transactions.

I've tried it with "location:1", 2, and 3, and get the same error.

Anyone else out there have an S6 fully updated they can test this on? The same code runs fine on all other systems.

Thanks ahead of time!

A google search put me at #336 which mentions adding "androidDatabaseImplementation: 2" into the sqlitePlugin.openDatabase arguments.

My openDatabase command now looks like this

window.sqlitePlugin.openDatabase({name: 'mm', location: 2, androidDatabaseImplementation: 2});

and it works. This is on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Verizon. It also works on another S6 edge phone (Android 5.1.1; SM-G925V Build/LMY47X). I'm posting this information in hopes that it helps someone else.

My build setup is Adobe PhoneGap Build, cli-5.2.0.

I'm not going to keep the S6 edge (bought it just to fix this bug, and will return it in a few days), so I'll be playing around with a 'Try to open the database normally, if that dosen't work, then try with the android command, and if that dosen't work, then throw an error' logic flow. Why dosen't the plugin do this internally though? :-)
