*** The Official Samsung Galaxy S6/Edge Thread ***

Is this the preferred way of purchasing, with a cheap sim only contract?

£450 handset plus £240 sim only (24 x £10) = £790

That means you need to be looking at £32 per month contracts with a free handset to be comparable in terms of total cost?

Does anything exist for the £30 per month mark with 1GB data and say 500 mins?

My S6 Edge has just had 5.0.2. Does anyone know what's changed? I can't find a change log.

Fixes memory leak.

Fixes memory leak.

I only have chrome open and using 77% memory. Also, closing all apps I'm using 67% memory. I don't think it's been fixed.

That's normal, pretty much.

Looks like an older version. It should end with AODG. Thats the latest.

Yeah £36. Going to wait till it's nearer £30.

Should have ordered it from amazon.de for £450. Its gone up.

So far only Vodafone has rolled out the update.

Mines an EU unlocked s6 Edge and it has 5.0.2 I can post a screen shot it you like? It's unbranded.

When I press and hold the power button, there's now an 'Emerengy Mode' option that wasn't there previously.

I haven't received the update on my unlocked standard S6 - my build number ends in AOCV, so I don't think you have the update installed either. I have the Emergency Mode - as far as I know it's always been there.

I assume nobody else with an unlocked phone has received the update? Annoying that at least one network has released it before Samsung itself! This reloading issue is really annoying, so keen to get it fixed.

Mine's been updated to 5.0.2... didn't even realise til I saw this and had a look...

Yeah, I got mine a couple of days after release and it had 5.0.2.

I'm getting error 905 when downloading large apps from the play store, done a quick Google and it seems others are too :/ hopefully an update is released soon to fix it

I think the latest update has fixed it, just installed Batman no problems.
Ive been trying to crash this thing but no luck.. works like butter.

 

[Chris344]

I didn't realise 5.0.2 was common. I thought it was 5.0.1.

 

[Chris344]

I'm stuck between my Edge and my iPhone 6 Plus.

I love them both and can't decide which one to keep. I use iMessage/FaceTime as most of my family and friends are on that platform.

I'm loving the design of the Edge and I've found my self bored with iOS recently.

 

[neoboy]

Yeah £36. Going to wait till it's nearer £30.

Can get it for £27.50 monthly with £100 handset fee, unlimited contract with 1GB data on O2 if you're not looking for a big allowance.

its not fixed the ram issue, apps still reload, which does irritate me as i do use some apps that i wanna go back to at a certain point , still get redraw issue when looking at the edge clock and flicking it over then going back into home screen, also with flipboard on then scrolling back to homescreen the whole screen like flickers
