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

I ended up returning my first handset. The panel had a band across the top which, depending on your eyes/viewpoint, was either a pink/brown tinge or a patch of 'less bright' pixels on a white background. CPW swapped it no issues, but they mis-sold me the EE upgrade as they said it had 4GEE Extra (double speed 4G) when it didn't.

A quick call to EE and they've upgraded me to:

£79.99 up front (to CPW)
Unlimited calls & texts
10GB double speed 4G
Euro Talk & Text
£38/month

Not arguing. The replacement handset from CPW is perfect thankfully. :) Please save me reading 40 mansize pages, as 'search this thread' isn't being very helpful. What case can I grab that's going to offer good drop/knock protection without encasing the handset in concrete? The Spigen Tough Armor looks decent protection wise, but surrounding that nice handset in thick polycarbonate? Not sure if want. Is the crystal clear skin with 1.2mm lip any good? Any other recommendations? I'm not as concerned about price as protection, within reason.
 
How to check your s6 camera sensor:

Dial *#34971539#

Look for ISP VER CHECK and click it.
Sony IMX sensor will be SONY_IMX240_FIMC_IS
Samsung ISO sensor is SLSI_S5K2P2_FIMC_IS

Mine has the ISO sensor. Better low light images.

The Ringke SLIM Black and Spigen Liquid Crystal are my two cases of choice at the moment. Both very slim, improve the grip and seem to offer decent protection while not distracting too much from the look of the phone. Both about £5 too :)


Is it worth spending the extra to get the Samsung wireless charger or should I just get a cheaper one?
IMO no it's a rip off. They all do much the same. Just get one you like the look of that has good reviews.
 
£450 on amazon.de now sold and shipped from amazon.

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?

Quite nice... and normally I don't like cases, but this one feels pretty good. Still prefer using a bare phone though... only I'm worried about scratching that rear glass badly... although it's survived its first week OK.
 
What many have been waiting for... Root without tripping knox

Amazing! :D My only niggles with this device were just solved. I'll have to wait a little though as my ROM version is the only one not supported yet.

Has anyone else noticed that on the home button you have to click it dead centre for it to register? If I click slightly to one side the button audibly clicks but nothing happens on-screen. I can click two or three times (purposefully) to one side and nothing, but as soon as I click dead-centre it responds instantly lol
