    I have a black screen of death on my Galaxy S6, how can I fix this?

    Wow what's with these bricking issues? Where did you buy your phone?

    Here is a list of what the carriers removed from the S6

    Yeah you can still add any of the apps in the dropdown menu list to the dropdown menu so I have no problem with that. I'd like to know why Verizon didn't put any link to the Galaxy apps store though. I'd like to see what they have.

    Volume buttons don't change sound settings when phone is locked?

    I think all of the Galaxy models work like that. I couldn't get my S3 to change the volume unless I unlocked it. It will let you do it however, if the phone is ringing.

    From the s4 to the s6 - miss the menu key

    re: I never used the menu button much on my S3 and I haven't even touched it on my S6 yet.

    Keyboard covers form input fields

    Or you can change the keyboard to Swype through the options menu. It then shows up at the bottom and your input text gets pushed up above the keyboard.

    Wireless charging question

    I just use the wireless charging pad with the adapter it came with for regular charging, or just plug in the cable that came with the phone for quick charging.

    so, does the screen need to be off or not?? (quick charging)

    Wait do you mean while you're using it? Most of the time I just don't use it while it's charging.

    Anyone go back to iPhone after giving the s6 a try?

    Honestly, where are you people with the numerous problems with your phones buying them from? Some guy on the street? I really want to know. I haven't had ANY of these problems like most of you are describing. So far I've had good battery time and no lagging or dropping of any apps. I disagree...

    Caller name ID battery consumption seems high and cannot delete it either

    The same thing is happening with my phone. This app just started using up battery power recently. I have tried and tried to stop this thing from running, but nothing seems to work. I've manually stopped it, disabled it, wiped the data and cache from the program and restarted the phone several...

    Battery life issue

    Exactly right neiljay 6. You can't compare the IPhone 6S with the S6. But if you look at the specs on Verizon's website and compare the IPhone 6 with the Galaxy S6, they list the IPhone 6 as getting 10.5 hours of standby time and 14 hours of usage. The S6 is listed as getting 13 hours of standby...

    My Galaxy S6 Setup and Why I Love This Phone!

    I've had my S6 for 2 days now, and I'm still configuring it and installing apps, but from what I've been seeing so far it's been a really good phone. I had to exchange the first one because I ordered it shipped from Best Buy and the home key had a slight smudge (didn't know if that would affect...

    "I've ordered my Galaxy S6" (Order & Shipping Discussion)

    Has anybody bought an S6 from either Verizon's website or a store? I'm considering ordering mine from Best Buy since they're only charging $199 plus tax, whereas Verizon's milking customers for not only the $199 but a stupid Samsung rebate card for $49, an upgrade fee of $40 (due upon completing...

    S6 Annoyances

    No biggie lol. I'm a newbie here, having read a lot of threads but never posting. I have an S3 and I wanted to just skip through the S4 and S5 because I wanted something totally different than what I was getting with the S3. Not that I didn't love the phone, but I like to have the latest...
