[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiyagiSan:
1. True. The Exynos platform is a dead end as far as AOSP custom roms are concerned. Modded stock roms are.....well....modded stock roms.

2. The S5 is IP67 rated. It has been tested by many reviewers and users independently and found to satisfy that IP67 rating.

3. I seriously wonder how many times one needs to change a battery before having the ability to change the battery becomes important...

Please get your facts straight... :angel:

Why did you guys all skip the Galaxy S5 (given that it was the best of the Galaxy S series - if you ignore TouchWiz's attrocious performance issues)?

I ask because many have expressed the view that the poorer-than-expected sales figures for the S5 (presumably compared to the Galaxy Alphas) led to these design decisions for the S6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hella356:
Although I would FAR prefer it had a removable battery, if Samsung's efficiency claims are true, I could probably live with the S6 on that account. Water resistance would have been a nice addition, although not a deal breaker. No SD card is by far the biggest negative for me. I will not use any cloud service for a number of reasons, and being locked into even 128GB of non-expandable storage makes this phone a huge disappointment to me. If it just had an SD slot, I would almost certainly buy the 128GB, non-Edge version, although I still want to see what the G4 & Z4 have to offer. As of now, the S6 is no longer even a consideration for me. Maybe they'll come out with a Developer Edition/Active/Rugged version with an SD card, in which case I'd probably continue buying Samsung, because spec-wise, the S6 looks head and shoulders above every contender. They managed to include a SIM slot, they could have easily added an SD slot.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kublis:
Goes to show that we can't have everything. Waterproof, removable battery, and added SD card means plastic casing. Metal casing means none of the above. People will always complain till they can put the 2 together.

I personally prefer to have the above even though it means plastic casing. It's what it is inside and what it can do that counts. Not what it look like or what it is made of. Just my 2 cents..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bangkokguy:
The same here.

S6 is a shame. Useless for sy who wants to use his/her knowledge and freedom in a tidy way.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanaki-seto:
Where to begin?

No removable battery a glass back not to mention gorilla glass hype that i can not stand it is just tempered glass. Iphone 6 look right down to the horrid flattened capsule shape that is a very weak shape. If i want a iphone 6 ill get a iphone 6. Why the hell they made it look like a iphone i have no clue. And a glass back just means more glass to break. No sd card no removable battery all huge mistakes. Im a repair tech and i will not buy or recommend this phone unless it is very easy to get worked on. Even then ill likely steer people towards another companies flag ship device or the note 3 or 4 or if samsung done copy the s6 crap to the note 5 a note 5. This phone is just one big mistake.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2747343:
the only thing im disappointed about is the release date, april 10???!?!?!?!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Mostly because I've already had my Note 3. And I bought the Note 3, because to me the S4 was only a refurbished S3. By the time the i9505 the LTE model with the Snapdragon chip came out the Note 3 was already hyped, and then I fell in love with the huge screen I can still carry in my pocket. And the S5 is almost the same specs, but with smaller screen, and less RAM, and only 16GB avalilable unless you want to dig around a lot.

also is there a better method to root my phone ??

i basically want to install the latest rom as in my phone the android is 4.2.2.

please help. thanx in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Yes, motochopper will work for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] StoneyJSG:
Towelroot will work with 4.2.2 ucuamdl , at least it did for me. You will also want to stay on ucuamdl so you can install a custom recovery and custom roms.

Mine Sprint S6 does, need to use an app like Next Radio https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nextradioapp.nextradio&hl=en and you have to used wired earphones for the antenna. it works pretty good, depends on how good a FM signal you get in your area for any of the stations. I live in a small town, so there are only 2 or 3 FM stations I can pickup.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrsimmy:
That app is not avaiable in the other countries.... can you share it in apk format ??? Thanks!

Is it possible that sprint's S6 is fundamentaly different from european one? I have tried the app, but force closes.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] abogrhen:
i am interested, but

probably won't buy it because

1- 5.1 inch screen if only it was 5.5

2- 3gb of ram i think it need 4 to compete

3- the camera that stood out of the device too much

4- there is no micro sd
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] the_rooter:
I was interested too, but now that I see that the casing looks about identical to iphone 6 plus. Its mind boggling how a multimillion dollar company cant come up with their own ideas.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DSA:
1. its a phone not a phablet

2. compete with what?

3. case fixes that

4. 128gb on board storage not enough for you?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] roc342:
1. 5.5 does not make it a phablet, I wouldnt call the LG g3 a phablet. I just prefer that size

2. Your right top end phone are coming with only 3gb

3. Your right again, but for some I prefer a nude phone

4. No 128 is not enough anymore.

Not trolling, Just my opinion
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] SirWise23:
1) I would consider 5.5 going into the Phablet area. Not that 5.5 would be bad, I just don't think this phone is trying to compete in that market. I'm sure the new Note will do that.

2) I was expecting 4 as well. All top phones are coming with 3. Just there way of cutting costs and leaving room for the next phone.

3) I PREFER a nude phone... but never do it out of plain fear. it's not even that I'm afraid of dropping it. I'm afraid of things in my pocket scratching it.

4) This is what is making me want to drop Samsung and go to HTC. I can live without a replaceable battery. I mean those portable battery chargers are cheaper than a batter and I have a few. I find it hard to give up the SD slot. [MENTION=4097982]DSA[/MENTION] - I agree that 128gb is enough storage for most. Honestly, 64gb is probably enough for me. For me though it's not the size, it's the functionality. Fight now, for every phone I've had, I've just popped out my MicroSD card, put it into the new phone and I was done. All my music, all my pictures, everything was there and ready. What if you drop your phone in water and it dies. I mean, total death, doesn't turn on at all. Before, you pull your MicroSD card out and all your date is still OK. Now, if your phone is dead, your data is gone. Who is backing up 128gigs to the cloud? With the lack of unlimited data, who wants to anyway. I don't want my pictures on the cloud.

So yea, the only killer for me is the SD card. Once again, it's not a size issue, it's just a functionality issue.

Another interesting thing with these phones... has anyone heard anything about a Developers edition coming out?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] fraser.dk:
Considering the current iPhone generation was "inspired" by HTC's M7/M8 you could easily argue that Apple is having trouble coming up with their own ideas. Sure the double curved edges are utterly useless and diminish the S6's ergonomics but at least the design is unique.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] störte:
I must say 5.1 " is the minimum i go for. I take the phone in a close look as my extension of contract approaches and i need something new to play. I will wait till i hold it in my hands before i decide. The rounded edges really looking nice on photos.

S6 wateroroof

Every phone I Destroy is because it is not waterproof.

are all of the openings for Water around the edge ? Then some good quality tape may make it waterproof ? comment's Please Roland
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pipehippy:
Do we know yet if it will have Googles always listening? I know it's not for everyone, but it should be an option.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] geoff5093:
If you want a 5.5" phone you should be looking at the Note line, this is not a phablet.

How is 3GB not enough? What other phone has more?

The camera has stood out for a while, most people uses cases so it won't be a big deal.

True, but many of us don't need more than 128GB of storage on a phone.

Only the bottom edge looks like an iPhone 6, what else looks like it?

Sounds like you should buy a Casio G'Zone and put it in a Lifeproof case.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] the_rooter:
The whole phone but the button. That's a Samsung in a iPhone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] geoff5093:
The iPhone doesn't have a glass back, the front doesn't look remotely the same, especially the edge, I think people see the bottom with very similar design that mocks the bands of the iPhone and immediately say the phone copies the iPhone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] the_rooter:
The older phones did. Your in denial if you don't see it. Samsung steals from Apple and Apple steals from Samsung. All these visual casing specs screams iPhone. The bottom half is the iPhone 6+, the glass back is the older iPhone. Lack of expandable SD screams apple. Shall I continue? Samsung sees how apple sells off crap and they are doing the same thing. I see 3 different versions of an IPhone in that pic. The only difference is the name Samsung is on the back. That's it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] geoff5093:
If you consider older phones, like the 4 year old iPhone 4, you are going to find similarities... There are only so many different designs that a rectangular device can have.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] the_rooter:
Look everyone it's a samapple. Besides the main button in the front this looks 100% like the Samsung Galaxy 6. The 6 edge has curved edges. So take this same phone and curve the edges u get the op phone. Have a good night
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tharindunw:
it is enough to me I can't wait
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Twotems:
I posted this on another thread but would like to add that the Chinese are going to smoke this phone. The new Lenovo's are just as good looking and better value and Meizu (with a cool $500m+ from Alibaba) will prove it. They already have a phone of similar dimensions and specs with a bigger screen. Here's my original post:

I'm having a hard time understanding what these phones offer for the price. I don't want or need Qhd. 1080p is perfect for me. I've not even looked at the M9 yet but I've read up on the S6. It's a great looking phone but my first problem is the Edge screen itself. How do you protect it? I don't care if it's Gorilla Glass 3 or 4, it will shatter. Simple. Samsung have essentially raised the screen above the bezels, so how do you protect it? The so called functionality of the Edge notifications is 'ho hum' in my opinion. My Nubia Z7 Max has that built into it's user optional split screen function with a standard screen. I love the looks, the new chip technology and many other things about the Edge but I'm simply not going to pay twice as much for 'innovations' that don't really have any advantage over phones that cost half the price.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rushco:
It's obvious that 99% ranting have no technical background and can't see why Samsung did what they did and how it has set them so far apart from any other phone.

They kept the SD card and removable battery till technology caught up to the point where those 2 are not needed.

Battery = wireless charging + super fast charging when plugged in

SD card = bottleneck that has been removed. Now you can take 3 pictures in RAW format. A single picture is 25 MB. 3 pictures taken in RAW format saved in 1 second = 75mb. Using a SD card you'll be waiting and complaining Samsung software is slow when it is the SD card.

Storage is now super fast while everyone is stuck using last years slow storage.

In house processor that is faster than what is in any other phone.

Camera that out performs the iPhone

RAM that is faster than last years.

You'll be able to do more things at once on the phone without any slow downs.

You'll be able to install programs quicker. Open the camera quicker.

Themes so you don't have to look at the default touchwiz.

Comes with 115gb of cloud storage. Throw your pictures and videos into the cloud them move them to your computer / delete them when your done and have more room on your device.

This device is going to be the phone to be in 2015 and beyond since most companies will be asking Samsung for their products to put in inside their phones just to compete with the S6 and S7.

This is my new Blackish Layers Theme, aimed to be simple and clean dark theme while still retaining material look. Do not Flash this in recovery or try to install the apks like a normal apk. You have to have a compatible ROM with layers support and be rooted. You also will need the bitsyko installer app on the play store for my installer to work correctly.

In several threads I see posts and questions about dark themes. Including me.

I did some trial and error on my Nexus 6 with stock ROM Lollipop, rooted and TWRP.

Installed the Layer Manager of BitsSyko from the play store, created a folder on the internal memory and downloaded some layer apps

Then I installed with the help of the nice Layer Manager a dark layer Settings_BlackTeal_v1.apk and reboot.

Nothing changed, no dark settings on my Nexus 6. But I could change the background of the BitsSyko Layer Manager.

Second trial.

I installed two other layers: Framework_BlackTeal_v1.apk and SystemUI_BlackTeal_v1.apk. and reboot.

Now my Nexus 6 showed the colored bubbles and did not boot (boot loop).

Had to force a boot in Recovery mode and restore the back up with TWRP.

Conclusion

Installing a single layer app did not work on my Nexus 6 with stock Lollipop.

Installing more layers causes a boot loop.

When you want to try layers, make a full-backup first.

You probably need to flash another ROM than stock when using layers. (Available: Chroma ROM).

I think this trial and error could be helpfull for others looking for dark themes.

It would be appreciated when someone explains the meaning of that three characters 'RRO'.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] boysetsfire:
Stock ROM does not support RRO/Layers, you have to use a custom one which supports it.

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] zephiK:
See what boysetsfire said. If you need a ROM that has layers support, chroma has it and I'm sure a lot of other roms do as well. You just have to go that thread and search for layers or rro

If it has rro / layers support then it'll work.

Install layers/preview

Reboot

[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tonyfiore75:
I appreciate your help but the instructions on that post seem to refer to the older Layers app, no? It's referring to commands / options that I don't even see in the new Layers app. Are you using the old one or the new one?

With the older zips posted I would just extract the zip and copy the .apk files I needed to the overlay folder. Reboot. Voila. Everything would be applied. But with these new "packages" it doesn't seem as easy. And trying to install it via the Layers app doesn't work. I just don't understand what I'm missing. Oh well, I guess I'll just stick with the older Blackish theme. It works just fine (although the desk clock layer breaks the alarm on Chroma).

So whatever... if at some point someone wants to let me know how the latest version works I'd be very grateful. Otherwise I'll just stick with the older version. I just love this theme so I don't want to move away from it. It's kinda perfect.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] GeekMcLeod:
Install App, open app and select install theme. That downloads a zip file to your internal SD card. Not in any folders. Use that as the zip file to install the themes.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] tonyfiore75:
Thanks a lot. I think the part that I was missing was that it extracted a zip to my internal SD card. I kept trying to apply the package as a layer instead of the extracted zip. I was looking in the wrong folder, apparently... the Download folder.

Many thanks for your assistance. It's greatly appreciated.
