Got my 32 GB, Black, AT&T S6 today, as promised in my shipping notice! Came in a plain brown outer box, with a white Samsung box inside. Packing was very poor with a couple of undersized air-filled plastic "pillow" things that only protected the smaller Samsung box on the top and one side - it rattled around inside badly. However, no shipping damage and the S6 is working great! Need to wait until at least a couple of days before I can say much about the battery life, but so far, it seems about like my S4.
Overall I'm very pleased so far.
Some relatively minor issues have cropped up.
- The touchsensitive buttons at the bottom, Back/Recent, do not light up when touched, although they function fine otherwise. I've found the setting that controls how long they stay on, but no setting changes their behavior. I have noticed that these buttons blink on during a boot, so they can turn on, but do not when tapped. Anybody seen this? Have I missed a setting somewhere?
- I'm seeing intermittent results with the fingerprint reader. My first effort at setting up a fingerprint (right thumb) seemed successful in the setup, but I couldn't get the reader to recognize it afterward at all. After a reboot, same thing. So I did the setup again, and now it works, but usually requires 2-3 tries to recognize my thumb print.
- In fooling around with the fingerprint issue, it seemed to me that the time I have to initially respond on the lock screen before it goes away is very short, maybe less than 2 seconds. I'm old and slow, so maybe that's just me, but I'd like it to be about twice that.
