Thanks for your feedback, I called them previously and said it would be $70 just to diagnose anything. They said that if the battery needed replacement, that the $70 would cover it, so that's not bad.

Hi all, The main reason I bought an S6 Active from the beginning was the long battery life. The battery life was fantastic in the beginning, but over the past couple of years it has diminished to the point where I have to recharge during the day. I did some quick googling, and it seems like...

Thanks very much for your reply, I appreciate it. Since I just had this phone laying around, and it is water resistant, I thought it would be great on a selfie pole for the gopro at the beach. Now I know it can't be done and can move on. Thanks!

Or, even if there is a slightly complicated answer, I'll take that!:)

Since it's water resistant, what did he do to get it so wet to ruin it?

Does not look like it is supported. I would love a confirmation too. I suspect it does not physically fit into the slot for the phone.

The S6 Active does not have a Car Mode where you can set it to announce incoming texts to you, and read them out with a voice command. I heard that this update of Android would allow us to get that again. Can anyone confirm that?

Sorry, I don't understand. Is there a way I can set the phone to announce and read incoming texts and answer calls by voice?

Wow, that's really dissapointing. I thought it was coming with that release.

Can I ask what you do with it in the car dock? This is the most frustrating thing to me about the S6 Active is that there is no more car mode that will announce and read texts to me, or allow me to answer a call with just voice. Very frustrating to come from an S4 that did that very well.

Yes, I have an S6 Active on AT&T, so I can't do that. Did you get the Android 5.1 update? I heard this would provide an option for this?

What do you people do with your phone in the car?

I was looking for a very slim case that would not add much bulk. Found this case, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YSUV7N2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00&t=androidcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4716313. So far, I like it. I got the black one, the...

It lists the other variants of the S6 as usable, but not the S6 Active. Can anyone think of any reason why the S6A would not work with it? Samsung and Oculus Introduce the First Consumer Version of Gear VR | PRESS RELEASE | Samsung Mobile Press

Did you just get the Clear Coat screen protector, or the whole case? I'm interested in the idea of a really thin case for it, can't find a good picture of it though.
