New Samsung alert! Score a Galaxy S21 5G for as little as $99 right now
To update or not to update; that is the question
- So I recently bought my S6 Edge and love it. I did all the updates including a software one, and installed all my email settings as I use Microsoft Exchange. For some reason there were push and notification issues, even after uninstalling the email accounts, so I did a factory restore including the cache, and have reinstalled the emails and now push works fine. Do I risk doing the software update and therefore risk stuffing up my push again, or do you reckon it should be fine......?
Apologies if this has been raised already; I'm a newbie on here. Loving the forum by the way!04-23-2015 08:23 AMLike 0 - So I recently bought my S6 Edge and love it.

When I got the phone 3 days ago, there was a software update notification so I did that pretty much straight away thinking that I may as well have the latest software for the latest phone. After all my email issues, I did the factory restore. Not sure if it reset itself back to factory settings and therefore uninstalled the update; as you say, it shouldn't do that. I may as well give it a go and do the update and if my email goes pear shaped again, then I guess I'll just have to factory restore it again and reinstall and re-setup everything (apps, layout etc). I did back it up on the latest Smart Switch so at least I was half way there!04-23-2015 12:49 PMLike 0

- Hi Sammuel1973 - I'm actually in Spain so am on Movistar (Telefonica). Its a pain when they release updates individually.... if theres something to update, just ping it out across all networks right?! It may just be a network specific update tbh. I'm still considering doing the update but I'll be pissed if my email goes down again; my exchange email system has so many folders and I have to have all emails downloaded onto the phone so I can have instant access for work purposes. Hey ho..... think I'll give it a go tomorrow. Have to say, apart from the email glitch, once I had done the clear cache and factory reset, its working like a dream; both speed wise and battery strength. I did remove and disable a hell of a lot of unwanted apps though.Sammuel1973 likes this.04-23-2015 02:01 PMLike 1
