Does it take a few charge cycles for the battery to start performing it's best?
Yup, same with any phone.
So I've joined the masses...
Ditching the M9 and picked up an S6 Edge tonight...lovely phone and everything about it is superb so far. I will be interested to see how the battery gets on as the HTC was and still is atrocious in that regard so my hope is this copes a lot better.

I might be being picky... but im half tempted to send my s6 edge back as defective. The screen has a rather yellow tint in the white's and its quite noticeable. (moreso than my other halfs s6 edge, we compared)
It gets worse when you put the display from "adaptive" to "basic"
surely this isn't normal? am i being fussy!?

That colour change would totally do my head in. Both of them in fact are not great in terms of the edge itself, one of the reasons why I didn't want an Edge. They are also not very good at all in overall colour. Glad I got a standard S6!
If those pics are accurate mine is waaaaaay better than both at portraying white, it's an s6 standard.
Good choice sir, its the best phone I had so far. I love the HTC one phones had the original one myself, just didn't like it when they switched to on screen buttons.

It's not been needed on any high end phone for at least 5 years.
Indeed I seem to recall it's now recommended that you don't fully drain a battery where possible.
Flippin heck, that thing looks fantastic.
Am I right in saying it has a built in battery so it can charge your phone (albeit via a cable) when it's not even plugged in? And it can also charge two phones at the same time (one wirelessly and one with a cable)?
Great value for 15. Might stick a camelcamelcamel pricewatch on it.
Amazon are sending a replacement. And i'm to send this one back.
Easy peasy. Love their customer service.
Hopefully this new handset will be a bit better on the whites
Cant beat Amazon, yes sometimes you pay a little extra for the item but the service you get is unbeatable
Thanks man...I'm pretty convinced I'll remain happy with the thing, definitely going to pick up some protection though as it is slippy as.
I'm having to get used to the back button being on the right but that's the biggest issue
The only thing I'm not liking is that I'll be on O2 for the next 12 months so I'll see how I get on with operator updates given it's an O2 branded handset...especially with 5.1.1 supposed to hit anytime soon.
Also first thing I did was stick Nova on it!

Someone mentioned in there that removing "search updates" brings them back...
Which search is this? Tried both google/samsung search and neither are on my app list.

The slippy thing worries me as well. I'm taking it to Cornwall in September where I will be using it as a camera. Out and about using it all the time, I can see it hitting the floor without a better grip on it.
Mine gets pretty warm as well. Is that normal?
