If you guys get one from EE they come preinstalled with the bloatware including the app that tracks the phone for EE which i tried uninstalling but wouldnt.

So i took it back and bought a sim free one from CPW instead.

Why would EE want to track the phone? That's crazy!!

Not sure if serious, but it is extremely lucrative to track your users and then sell on the data. More and more peoples default device is their phones, image you could sell on exactly what apps someone uses, how long they use it for, where they use it and so on. At the end of the day your just a '£' sign to companies.
 
Having some trouble with my s6 edge. Every time I open the messages app it crashes with "unfortunately messages has stopped". Tried clearing the cache of the app and everything to no avail. Really annoying as I cant read or reply to any of my texts.

Try a third part messaging app (as a temporary solution if you have some messages you need to read)

Not great that a 700 quid phone can't even open stock messaging app though.

True, not a widespread issue though, just seems like an odd one-off. I haven't seen anyone else mentioning the issue

Tried a full factory reset?

This could fix it, something may have got corrupted.

Bear in mind that (I think) this option will mean you'll lose any text messages you've received prior to the reset... Maybe someone can confirm?

A mate of a mate has had the same thing, very unhappy I've been told, also noted the 6's aren't holding price that well on ebay which is a bit bad this early.

Though when I did a youtube search for s6 problems with an upload of that day or week l didn't find anything of substance.

Did see one long vid where the guy loved it but had a few tiny niggles like why no usb 3 and I thought hmm that Note 5 is gona be epic imo. Still unsure as to whether to get this and a Note next year or wait, leaning strongly on the side of get both.

Are there any signs of stock anywhere for the Galaxy S6 64GB/128GB? It's not expected for another 2 weeks but it would be nice to find some before that date.
 
Bit of an annoyance here.

I've selected the default Google Keyboard for use. Every now and then (2-3 times a day) when using the Keyboard, I will get a notification, asking me to select between the Samsung, Google Voice, or Google Keyboard. I need to select one each time for the notification to disappear.

Has anyone experienced this and if so, is there any resolution?

Yup, I get this occasionally also, yet to work a fix!

Can you not just turn those keyboards off in input settings?
