Moving over from my rooted S4 I was using the following apps requiring root -
Titanium Backup
Cerberus
Greenify
Betterbatterystats
I may be able to live without them but being used to having them it would be nice to keep them, I tripped knox on my S4 but still had warranty work done without any issues but ideally I'd like to avoid tripping it to start with on this phone.

One of these might help, though I haven't rooted since my s4.

Case arrived this morning. Gotta say, it's a beaut - probably my favourite of the 5 or so cases that I have. This one shows off the phone really nicely. It has more grip than I'd thought too. Only downside is that it might not protect the camera. It's flush, but can't tell whether the lens just pokes out slightly or not. Anyway, for £7.50 for an official case, I'm chuffed.

I've a bit of a strange one.
Running Marshmallow on my S6 and this afternoon I took my phone of the wireless charger plate and it was off. Turned it back on and again went off. Has been fine since. Wondering is it marshmallow/hardware/app? Anyone had anything similar?

Marshmallow is in Beta, so I wouldn't expect everything to work correctly. Have you reported it as a bug in the beta? Did it work in lollipop?

All worked fine. Been running Marshmallow a few weeks now. I'll report but just wondered if anyone else had experienced it and whether it may be a hardware issue

Tried to report it but the the app tell's me the beta is closed. Following the update there's no mention of beta on my phone on the lock screen like there was. If I am reading it right I think they essentially moved beta users onto a newer version of marshmallow that we now just keep.
The beta is closed so no reports can be sent in. They have left users to use the beta or you can downgrade back to lollipop If they so wish.
I am using the beta and its the smoothest I have ever seen a S6.

I agree. Just worried about these shut downs. I'm hoping software not hardware but I can't stomach the thought of a factory reset.

Can you get Quick Charge 2.0 through a PC yet?

Used both Anker and Choetech. The Choetech can be had in a 6 port version with quick charge 2.0.
Been fine, no complaints
Not sure if it's relevant to yours, but I found out that my current stereo has AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) Ver.1.3 but my phone is 1.4! I would had thought it would be backwards compatible but I guess not...
Yeah, that's been the case with my last few samsung phones. I think the stock browser is GPU optimised or something. I stick with chrome just for the desktop syncing.
You tried chrome beta?
