Why have you assumed I used the French firmware? This was for the S6 Edge by the way.
The one I downloaded was UK/IRE

Ah right, thought you had the standard S6 (5.1.1 for unlocked versions has only been released in France so far!)

You guys simply have to buy a Spigen Neo Hybrid with metallized buttons. It feels so nice and comfortable to hold, really premium quality. The textured back gives an extra bit of grip and feels good and the sides which I worried might be a bit slippery give decent grip. The buttons are amazing, very easy to press; clicky and responsive. Looks the dogs danglies too. I love it. Cost £17.99. I imagine most of the Spigen range would be nice tbh.
I've got a Caseology case on it's way, similar price. I'll let you know how that is too with pics. Should be here soon.

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has tested the rear camera out with group shots? I've noticed that the edges of the picture are being stretched. You can tell when people stand closer to the edge of the picture. I'm in auto mode.

I believe someone found a fix for the ram management after a load of tinkering. There was an xda post somewhere but I've been noticing the same thing, my music app would just shutdown mid play.

That's what any wide-angle lens does. It's nothing to do with the software. Just stand a little further back so people aren't right at the edge of the photo.
Didn't like it, adds too much bulk to the phone and the raised rim around the display is quite annoying.
Slight fisheye from the wide aperture. Worth the trade off, so don't worry about it.

I wonder if that is whats happening with mine. Skype installed etc yet whenever some calls I don't get a notification. Really annoying. Any better video calling alternatives?

Got the neo hybrid. Really slick
Been having with the camera yet again. swapped the first S6 as the camera wouldn't focus, now i got the image stabilization causing vibrations and getting stuck. Moving the camera you can hear it knocking against something feels like its been knocked out of its place!
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.

Nice, glad you like it!
So I got more case mail today, from the USA and UK. Hmm. what's inside?
Oh
This is the Caseology Wavelength. Another stunning looking case consisting of two components; TPU in blue and a gold polycarbonate shell which feels like metal. Feels really solid and excellent quality. Buttons are very silent and responsive though not as clicky as the Spigen. It's also a little thicker than the Spigen by maybe a millimetre or less. Fairly grippy back to it. Sides are smooth and not overly grippy but decent enough. Quite tricky to install on the phone, very tight fit, might be easier if I'd have separated the two pieces. But it feels superb in the hand.

I was worried about the BT performance, however I can honestly say it has been flawless with my in car BT system.
If you have had issues with the S2,S4 and S6 maybe it's down to the car BT?

Bluetooth works fine for me, audio and calls.
