5.1.1 doesn't tend to make any improvements so to speak that are noticeable (apart from the obvious like the Camara contrast slider) but it's the 230MB update in addition which has been pushed to devices which makes notable improvements in both Battery Life and outright Performance.

I look forward to getting the second update then. What camera contrast slider? I can't find anything new on my camera.
 
Finally got 5.1.1 on EE. Seems generally smoother and faster all round. Battery seems ok but not used it enough to tell if there's any difference yet.
 
I have an S6 Edge on EE but still no 5.1.1 update. My current version is PDA:OE3 / CSC:ODO / PHONE:OE3(BTU) so does this mean i wont get the update from EE?

I have checked but there in no update via SmartSwitch.

Essentially all you do is touch the screen to focus your camera you can customise the contrast/light on the image you are about to take :)

Ah yeah, I see it now, thanks. By the way I thought I'd share some close up pics I took in my overgrown garden a few days ago. All unedited, auto HDR :)

That price is excluding sales tax which is another $144 but it's still a pretty hot price.

In fact you can buy from B&H and pay the sales tax and the duty and the shipping to the UK and still get it for £530ish, getting closer to the Amazon price but I just wanted to pad out the price hopefully before we get another raft of rip off britain nonsense.. So many people don't realise that the advertised price in the US is basically our equivalent of ex VAT.
 
Just bought this as I fancied a clear back to show off the gold.

The gold bumper is interchangeable with the blue one on my regular neo hybrid black TPU so that's cool.

My Caseology wavelength has slightly broken after just 6 weeks and I'm wondering if I should make a fuss about it to caseology, the amazon seller, or live with it.

 
Christ the screen on these things might as well be made of Swiss cheese.

My second screen is now scratched to hell with the first screen being replaced because the official samsung case scratched it.

No idea how, it always has its own pocket which I check for debris regularly.

Sorry Samsung, can't wait to get rid of this garbage. My Z3 compact was naked for months not a problem with the screen..

The fingerprint scanner looks like I've rubbed it with sandpaper.

That's why I always fit screen protectors mate, for the price, it's a no brainer

I've had 3 tempered glass of different brands, they all halo'd and I can't stand plastic protectors. I don't tend
to bother with them and not had any issues

This screen has been in my phone 2 weeks and I've babysat it. The thing looks like it's been rubbed with sandpaper in one bit, I've literally had it in my pocket or on the desk at work. The screen looks worse after 2 weeks than phones I've had over a year that I stopped taking care of
.
It's ust crap engineering.

LG G4 is 360 quid on amazon, I might just take the hit and sell this steaming turd.
 
My S6 Edge just died. I was browsing on it and the screen suddenly turned off.
Now it won't power on at all and I have tried to soft and hard reset it and nothing.
Looks like it's dead.
Time to ring up CPW tomorrow and see if they will replace it (it's just under 1 month old) or repair it.
Hopefully they still have 128gb versions in stock if a replacement is issued.

have you tried flashing the original firmware back on via usb?

No can do, It's a brick, the phone is not connecting to the pc and doesn't even charge.
I took it back to CPW and it's just 2 days short of the 28 days return policy so it has to go in to the repair centre which could take up to 14 days.

Really have no idea what you are doing to it then. Not one single scratch on my screen and I have never used a screen protector.
