That's right. Reset only wipes OS partition.

I would do it in TWRP myself. I think it's the same thing but I always do a wipe in recovery.

Ah I didn't press internal wipe also, need to completely start again so will do that.

Considering going for a normal S6 instead of the Edge now. The price hike for something that just looks a bit prettier doesn't seem worth it to me tbh.

Have Amazon Germany delivered any of these or is there now a long wait?

Too Tall · 20 Apr 2015 at 09:42

I received mine from .DE last week mate.

I got an Edge and I would like to defend the reason for paying the £100 extra... but I can't, I even turned off all the edge features.

I would have got for the standard but it just doesn't do it for me.

I did the exact same, went with the normal s6 in the end. The edge looks awesome but really can't see any benefit.

Does anyone know where I can trade in my 2014 Moto X :confused:

CPW said they don't take the Moto X and the EE and Three websites don't appear to accept it for trade ins.
Really want to buy the S6 off contract but need to know I can get a return on my Moto X

Is there anywhere legit with non edge stock at the moment? When are places likely to get more in?

uscool · 20 Apr 2015 at 11:27

anywhere stock for sim free galaxy s6 edge 64gb black, just cannot find anywhere, very disappointing

Belloni · 20 Apr 2015 at 11:33

Does anyone turn on "Restrict Background Data"? If so, have you seen improvement to your battery life as a result?

Too Tall · 20 Apr 2015 at 13:05

.dE contacted me regarding the issue with my screen on my 32gb edge. They have offered to replace the phone or offer me €100 refund. The issue is only noticeable in the right lighting get conditions so I'm tempted to take the €100.

I noticed a few sites are claiming to have stock of the 128GB standard version, however feedback for them is mixed at best.

Probably not worth the risk.

My colleague, who sits next me came in with an S6 this morning. He got it for £300 (i think it was) from Cash converters, which they had mistakenly displayed as an S5!!

Being a Samsung employee, he soon spotted the mistake and purchased it asap!

The receipt even says S5 on it!!

Its a 32Gb version.

Wow bargain of the year!

Crazy that people are selling them to places like that already?!

Wouldn't you be able to get one dirt cheap/free as a Samsung employee anyway?!

Prices on staff sales for really popular products are actually higher than Amazon/etc..

Some products we can get very good discounts on though. White goods/TVs/Blu-Ray/cooking stuff/etc are often VERY cheap

Sometimes mobiles come up as special offers when they are clearing out stock. I managed to get a Galaxy Gear 2 last year for £60 on special offer

Should be popping into 3 in a few hours to collect my 64GB S6 non-Edge

If anyone could answer a few quick questions that'd be great (I'm stuck at work):
Does Three still use a customised ROM release now thier phones are unlocked, or do they use plain BTU?
I assume I can flash a plain BTU ROM, but I've seen Knox mentioned a few times....will flashing the phone cause me any issues.
What exactly does does Knox do, will it affect me down the line?
