    Anyone order from Samsung directly?

    I called yesterday (4/19), was told I would definitely be getting it today. Early this morning (~1am) I was able to check the Fedex delivery manager. They got the label created at 12:08am, which means I won't be getting anything until tomorrow. edit: oh good, they didn't actually pick the...

    Galaxy 6 won't download apps from google play store

    Are you connected to Wi-Fi? Play might be set to only download/update apps when you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.

    Initial Thoughts

    Weird. I'm on T-Mo, and the setting is under Phone -> More -> Settings.

    Initial Thoughts

    There's a specific setting for VoLTE in the phone app options.

    Initial Thoughts

    My experience is similar to aggie's. Overnight (about 9.5 hrs) drain was 5%. Wi-Fi/Location/Sync was on, Wi-Fi Calling/VOLTE were off. Drain during actual use seems acceptable; it's significantly better than my 2-year-old S4 (w/original battery) which spends most of the time hooked to a charger.

    First Batch of TMobile S6's

    Must be something weird going on with the battery life for some folks. My non-edge S6 just burned 5% juice (62% to 57%) in a bit over 9 hours on standby from last night until this morning. VOLTE and Wi-Fi calling were off, but Wi-Fi, location services, and sync (just Gmail for me) were on.

    How are the radios.

    I can only compare it to my S4, but it seems better. On a hiking trail I use frequently, my S4 got two bars and no internet. With the S6, I'm getting four bars and LTE.

    Which S6/Edge did you/will you purchase? 32GB, 64GB, or 128 and why?

    64GB seemed like it would be enough for me, so that's what I bought (non-edge). I barely broke 60% capacity on my old S4 with 16+32GB.

    How can I transfer everything from my S4 to S6?

    Re: Transfer everything from S4 to S6 1. It seems like it just downloads the apps. 2. Probably? I'd do a full memory backup onto the laptop, then do the two transfer operations, then wipe the old phone.

    How can I transfer everything from my S4 to S6?

    Re: Transfer everything from S4 to S6 When you first turn on your S6, you'll be prompted during the initial setup to do a back-to-back data copy with your old phone. This involves placing your new and old phones next to each other, and they'll beep. This will transfer settings, account...

    Beefy backless bumper case for S6?

    This is the type of case I was looking for, thanks! I wish it could be had domestically (USA) to avoid the lengthy shipping time, but I guess I'll just have to order and wait. Unless someone else reveals something similar before I get the chance to place the order, of course!

    Beefy backless bumper case for S6?

    Any suggestions for a non-slim bumper-only case for the S6? I love the black sapphire finish, but even a clear case kind of ruins it. None of the bumper cases I've been able to locate so far look like they'd be any help at all if I should happen to drop or place the phone on any surface that's...

    How can I transfer everything from my S4 to S6?

    Re: Transfer everything from S4 to S6 I also did this and it worked fine. edit: S4 to S6 in my case.
