Smooth sailing over here. I'm seeing improved performance and battery life. Samsung camera app no longer lags when previewing the previous image. Wish AT&T hadn't sat on this so long.

My GS6 is on AT&T and running 5.02. I've been one of the folks who seem to have issues with lag where the phone slows to a crawl. Imagine it taking 7 seconds to open the stock Messages app. Simply pressing the Home button would do nothing for 5-10 seconds. Frustrating. A post from a few days...

Re: Can't handle the lag anymore This is what I was experiencing but not all the time. What's interesting is that I have nearly the same apps installed on my Nexus 7 2013 and it's smooth as slick all the time.

Re: Can't handle the lag anymore My GS6 has been suffering lag as well. Taking seven seconds to launch the Messages app. Pressing the home button and nothing happens for many, many seconds. The phone acted like a "deer in the headlights" so to speak. I switched to Nova, deactivated a few more...

Is anyone experiencing performance issues on their AT&T GS6 (5.02) when running Google Maps? Maps works fine while it's running but if you switch to the launcher or another app you may as well pull over, get a sandwich, and wait for the phone to respond to whatever you requested of it. Close...

Re: Samsung GS6 lags & freezes I am experiencing the same issue. The lag is atrocious - may as be running MS-DOS on a 286. Google Maps always bogs down the GS6 for sure. I haven't been able to track down the cause of slow down at other times. Might be an issue with cellular radio or wi-fi...

I found the cause of the problem: the OBD-II monitor from Automatic. I realized my BT audio problems started around the same time I got Automatic working with my GS6. For now I just yanked out the Automatic and my audio quality on BT calls is back to normal. I will contact their tech support...

I had a similar issue when the fingerprint wouldn't unlock my phone and I (stupidly) forgotten my backup password. Look for this thread: locked-out-phone-back-android-device-manager-samsung-find-my-phone-new-post. I did a Wipe Device Cache awhile back and found it nuked a number of my app...

I've had my AT&T S6 since launch. Paired my Jawbone ERA just fine. Made phone calls, voice commands, just fine. About a week ago making calls using BT earpiece started getting wonky. The audio has a brief fade in and fade out as people talk. It also has a bit of an underwater sound. Restarting...

After fiddling with settings I discovered a pre-defined (random) password located in Google Settings > Security. Perhaps this is what "Login with Google ID" was expecting rather than my Google user password. I haven't tried it - just making a note here.

Howdy. I've had my S6 since launch and all has been well until a very strange problem today. Out of the blue ths GS6 would not recognize my fingerprint to unlock the phone. I had forgotten my Backup Password (shame on me) but had the option to login via Google. That didn't work either - I was...

I switched from iPhone 5S and happy so far. I would mirror what the others have said. The iOS experience is more polished and fully integrated with Apple products and services. Lollipop apps are much nicer than KitKat and in some cases an Android app is as elegant as its iOS sibling. Depends on...

First post - first Samsung phone. Looks like AT&T removed the Smart Manager. Anyone know why? Is there anything else useful they removed vs. other carriers?
