Ffs got to use the Bluetooth in the car for pretty much the first time today.

Buggy, crashed phone and the car BT. Samsung every time you make garbage BT when everyone else has no problem.

My S2,S4 and now S6 completely useless BT. Ffs.

Hate this phone. Complete garbage.

Works perfectly with my car (BMW), Mrs car (Citreon), bluetooth headphone, teethered to ipod/ipad/laptop.

Sounds like you've got a dud, the number of issues you've had
 
I'll report back when i set mine up later, my S5 bluetooth and S4 bluetooth has always worked flawlessly, is there a transfer service on the S6 to send my files from my S5 through NFC or alike?

Not sure how helpful another voice saying "it works for me", but bluetooth has been fine for me both in car (citroen) and with numerous speakers.

STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW AND TELL ME HOW THE HELL YOU'VE MANAGED THAT.

(please)

I lose about 12-15% overnight and it's driving me crazy.

Same here, I want too know! I don't believe it to be honest. No way you only lose that little, unless it's in flight mode.

Tbh it surprised me, obviously no fb or other social stuff or any contact with anything during those hours. I didn't turn data or calls off during that time though wifi was off and I get weakish 4g in my bedroom.

Since someone posted a "bit" about the battery preferring to be 50 to 80% charged I've stopped charging overnight unless it's nearly empty.

Flippin heck. I've tried turning off wifi only, then turning off mobile data only. Only by turning off both do I get a reasonable drain.

Do you think if you had wifi on the drain would be more?

After my first battery was replaced under warranty I was told by the shop (CPWH) not to ever charge the phone overnight, as over-charging kills battery life.

Since the new battery I charge it for around 60-75 mins every morning before work which usually gets it to 90-100%. Battery drain has been good for me since.

I have an S4 but am sure the same would apply to the S6.
 
Hey guys, just upgraded to the S6 Edge and it's due to arrive in two days, i bought myself a case for it and was wondering if you anyone could recommend a good screen protector? Thanks in advance!

I'm using these http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=261864503503&globalID=EBAY-GB

It's like a soft floppy clear skin which is a dry install

Works well. Slight rubbery feel to it

There are no decent tempered glass out for the edge yet. So using the above until decent ones knew come out that don't cost £25+

Every Samsung phone I've had has had issues with BT in numerous cars for me...

Don't know why. A quick Google suggests Samsung have widespread problems.
 
The Nillkin Nature case is really really nice. Added zero bulk what so ever. The Bluetooth works perfectly for me too and atm I've had no ram issues but it's early yet. Really love the premium feel in comparison to the S5, the gold/platinum is a really nice looking phone and as of yet it's pretty darn quick. I've installed Nova prime as always which certainly helps. Camera is best I've ever had by a long shot and the speed is fantastic.
The home button doesn't always work if pressed at the very far sides occasionally and the lack of SD card slot which I new about before purchasing and I can already tell my battery won't last a full day, been on it around 50 mins and I'm 11% down, these are my only real annoyances atm.

Does anyone know if you root 5.0.2 with pingpong root and will it disable OTA if I flash stock room again to unroot if I change my mind as I don't want OTA to be permanently removed incase I come to sell further down the line.

I miss my Adblock, greenify root, Titanium Backup, and removing bloat.
