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?

Flashing BTU will not trip KNOX. All will be fine because your flashing official FW.

KNOX is some pesky security built into the phone hardware wise (AFAIK) to detect any tampering. No one has found a way to reset the counter AFAIK.

If you root it will show up on the KNOX counter and will potentially void your warranty.

.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.

Just got mine from the .DE site and like you said no branding or anything. Phone looks perfect as well no noticeable defects yet.

When you got the phone how did you switch it to english?
at the moment i'm on the startup screen and its only giving me 3 german languages.

cancel that :)

I managed to turn of accessibility hearing so everything was speaking in German and everything required 2 taps to do anything

Got mine on saturday on contract with O2, the problem im having is when the camera starts up it takes a while for it to focus it self sometimes it will take around 30 seconds to correct itself anyone getting that?
 
So had my s6 Gold Edge for a few days and loving it (coming from an S4).

Whilst I'm sure the novelty will wear off, I'm so glad got the Edge it looks stunning and everyone I've shown it too has said "wow" and praised the aesthetics.

Got Nova on it and everything up and running :)....

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?

I found a fix for this, I found this awesome tool

You can disable loads of apps without root. So just disable "sec.android.inputmethod". I also disabled loads of other pesky Samsung apps. But be careful as you can stop your phone from functioning properly.

Got mine and just got it out the box.
Very shiny and sleek...only downside is I need to get a case, I'm already paranoid of damaging it, plus with the camera 'bump' I could see this getting damaged very quick if not careful!

Currently on charge, I have a fast charger from a Kindle and a 2 amp car USB charger so will have to see if those also fast charge it...once it's in a case :) :o

What are the best cases for this, not worried about flip cover as I'm going to get a screen protector, clear, shock absorbant case would be fine. I've seen Spigen mentioned?

Where do you get Nova from? This will be my first Andriod phone. Is there a nice list of recommended apps, settings, hints and tips I can look at?
 
I'm having a problem with a battery drain and if I can't fix it I'll have to get a new phone. On each app it says "mobile radio active" is constantly on. I've factory reset both normally and via TWRP but it's still there.
 
My black wireless charger turned up from Amazon today. Now I'm just waiting for the phone - which will hopefully be defect free, arrived at the end of this week as scheduled and won't fall from my hands to the ground.

You can start from this thread (not a nice list but it works): http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18571592

Nova Launcher is available via the Play Store - there are free and paid versions. This is the web link to the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.launcher&hl=en_GB
 
I've found a leather flip case on Amazon for the S6/S6 Edge for £11.99 Worth a try at that price.

I had problems posting link post a link, So if you search Amazon for

"Galaxy S6 Case, LK [Stand Feature] Samsung Galaxy S6 Premium Wallet Case [Wallet Function] Flip Cover Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 [Premium Series] Brown"

They come in various colours.
