Have you tried a different USB cable? You could have a bad cable or charging brick. Posted via the Android Central App

My S6 did the same thing. I went to clear the cache after the latest verizon update and there was a message about applying an update or something for about 20 seconds. The update failed and went straight to recovery. I did my wipe, and had no issues. Posted via the Android Central App

For those folks that are not able to activate wifi calling, did you guys activate advanced calling on your Verizon account? I'm not sure if that actually has anything to do with it, but since it is located under "Advanced Calling " in the settings menu, I thought I would throw that out. I...

I'm sorry that didn't clear it up for you, I know the feeling. One of my friend's Verizon S6 did the same thing and after showing them what was going on got a free replacement. It was a refurbished unit, but looked and acted brand new. It might be time to head to your TMo store and see if they...

Yes, flashing the stock firmware would completely wipe your phone, just like a factory reset would. You may have to resign yourself to losing anything you didn't back up. I would give you the run down on flashing with ODIN, but you can find several step by step instructions using Google. Just be...

Just wanted to point out that on the Samsung site, under warranty information it says "The warranty period commences upon the date of purchase by the first consumer purchaser and continuing for the following specified period of time after that date. " It seems that I was wrong, and you should...

I'm almost positive that you have no valid warranty on the phone. Most manufacturers only honor warranty claims to the original owner and if the product was purchased from an authorized dealer. You might be lucky enough that the original owner never registered the phone, but I wouldn't bank on...

If you had a secure lock screen enabled it has a feature that factory resets your phone after a certain number of failed attempts to unlock it. Unless you disabled this in your lock screen settings, I think it is enabled by default. Maybe that's what happened? Posted via the Android Central App

The first thing I would suggest is a reboot. It should force a rescan of the memory and show more available space. The misc. files also contain the operating system files, which are not listed, so that is a good chunk of space on top of what it does show on the break down screen. Posted via...

Just got a notification as well. I'll have to put it off until later this evening though. Keep us informed on what changes you see! Posted via the Android Central App

My S6 has done this on a few occasions while cutting my grass. I discovered that the phone was getting too hot in my pocket and causing this behavior. The volume would lower or raise itself with or without the screen on. I took my phone out of its case and let it cool down a few minutes before...

Re: my galaxy s6 doesn't turn on after waterproof test Yep, the standard S6 is not rated as water resistant. Despite many videos online that show the phone surviving in water for up to an hour, I would never put a $1000 electronic device to that test. I hope you have insurance! If you have the...

I believe it was added as part of the 5.1.1 update. So anyone running that version should have it. It's a nice feature to have, but I guess it does eat a little screen real estate. Posted via the Android Central App

Same here, on both counts. I use the car charger I bought for my galaxy nexus to charge my S6. I have also used the rapid charger since day one with no problems. I think most of the problems with the rapid charger were exclusive to the edge model. It would overheat and cause a problem with the...

Does it do anything if you tap on it? Posted via the Android Central App
