    Is *anyone* happy with their S6 Active?

    I've used my S6 Active off and on. I mainly come back for the camera (destroys my iPhone 6s). Despite taking a ton of pictures, I don't have an issue with storage space because I periodically upload them to my Google Photos account before deleting them off my phone. I don't store a ton of...

    S6 Active Button activates at the slightest touch in pocket or purse. HELP?!

    I disabled the active key on lock screen too. I also have my phone in the iblason armor case and it has hard enough rubber along the edge that I don't have to worry about accidental button press anymore. It's kind of a thick case, and I'm sure you can find something thinner that may help too.

    5.1.1

    I've noticed slightly less battery life after the update. This isn't too big of a deal for me since I can normally go days on one charge. I just went thru apps and started disabling all the junk apps. And I killed the weather widget. I noticed I started getting daily forecasts every morning...

    Trade the Active?

    Reading the forums before purchasing the Active, I went in with the understanding that updates weren't going to happen as often as the S6. I'm okay with that. But I did a lot of research about this device before purchase. The battery life tipped the scale for the Active. I don't care for a...

    Cases for the S6 active

    iBlason Armor case is just too bulky. I ordered a slimmer case and can't wait for it to arrive. Every now and then I go without a case and get wild and crazy. ;)

    Battery life?

    Even with heavy usage, I get over a day's worth on this phone. Of course, I'm not streaming a ton of Hulu/Netflix or anything, so if that's what you do, I couldn't tell ya. But surfing, texting, calls, etc. I get really good battery life from this phone.

    S6 Active Durability? Is it less, equally, or more durable than average phones?

    Occasionally, I will use my active without a case, but I HATE scuffs and minor things like that on my phone, so I have an iBlason case on it. It's pretty bulky, but I have a slimmer case coming from Amazon soon. I'm not very hard on my phones, but I like being worry free about splashes of...

    Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

    Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth When I used an iPhone, the Google Maps nav is pretty good. Apple Maps was horrible though.

    Note 5 vs iPhone 6s

    Re: Aggravated with iOS /Android back and forth Why do you think you need an iPhone to go with your iPad? I have a Galaxy S6 Active and I still use my iPad mini regularly, for surfing/Clash of Clans, etc. Granted, I have an iPhone 5c collecting dust in my night stand drawer, but when I look at...

    Are you happy with your s6 Active

    I've owned the phone for about two weeks and I love it. I switched from Apple and getting my music on Google Play was easier than I thought it would be. It's already gone running in the rain. Best part is that I don't have to worry about it. I don't plan on going back to apple for a while.

    HTC One: Great speakers, not nearly loud enough

    Agreed, I have beats audio turned on and when this is cranked up full blast, I think the volume is way too loud.

    The camera is awesome in low light. I had the iPhone 5 before I upgraded to this.

    Sprint HTC ONE signal problems (Deathgrip)

    I live in the Dallas area and our LTE coverage is great. I haven't had any "death grip" issues, but then again, I've had mine in a Speck case since day 1.
