I have an unlocked, non-carrier, international S6E (925F) and it's running fine, with LTE on AT&T. Fred

Go into settings-> Mobile Networks and make sure you have LTE selected. Fred

You have to log out of Instagram when you're not using it. I always log out when I'm not using it and on the days that I don't use it I show no CPU or battery use from it at all. And I never use Chrome. If Chrome is showing battery usage when you have not used Chrome, then you have left it open...

You must be doing constant Instagram syncing. That's where, by far, most of your usage is. I have Instagram, but I only log in when I want to look at something or upload. It appears to be a real battery user, especially if you're syncing constantly. Fred

Well, based on what you show and what your estimated remaining time is at your current use rate, you'll get maybe well over 4 hours SoT. You have 2 hours of SoT at your current use rate with 3 times longer estimated to go yet :) Fred

Re: Security Notice Unauthorized Actions Error At&t 64gb Edge! Must be some carrier installed firmware/bloatware causing that. My unlocked, no-carrier, international S6E that I'm using with an AT&T sim does not have that problem at all. I'm running 5.1.1 \ Fred

Have never been able to get the palm swipe to work on my S6E, button screenshot works fine. Fred

Yeah I don't get at all how the S6 and S6E uses so much power when on WiFi, when none of my other phones do. My other phones use almost nothing overnight, even getting 5 or 6 emails (same email app across all the phones) and several Viber and Line msgs My S6E will drip 6% or more, my other...

Which is very strange. All the other phones that I've had, and currently have (Nokia Lumia 920, LG G3, Moto G 2014) use basically no battery when WiFi is on. I leave them on overnight and all get the same 5 or 6 emails each night and maybe a msg or two. The other phones so no or maybe 1% battery...

Means, for whatever reason now, that your phone is SIM unlocked, so you should be able to use a SIM from any GSM network provider that supports the same GSM bands. Fred

I don't have to do any of that with my S6E, unlocked, non-carrier branded, international (925F) running with a AT&T sim. Mine is quick, snappy, no lag, no stutters, no problems at all. I think some of what people see are "problems" caused by the mod'd firmware and/or bloatware that many carriers...

For me, Ive used Swiftkey for a few years, but just in the last 3 weeks or so have switched to the Google keyboard and like it much better. For me (YMMV) the predictions and word learning are much better now than on the Swiftkey keyboard. Fred

Settings->Accounts then click your Goggle account and uncheck most syncing Fred

Yeah, the stupid carriers take forever to take the android update and mod it with their junk and firmware and test it. Almost 3 weeks ago now, I bought a (new) unlocked, non-carrier, international S6E. It updated immediately, right out of the box during the initial setup to 5.1.1 That was with...

Re: Please Help! ONLY GSM mobile data works in Galaxy S6 I would contact your carrier again and ask them why "THEIR" network replied ""Not registered on network" :) Fred
