maybe you should wait for the software update and if the battery is still bad return it to them i know jarir has a return policy
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
Lookalike sure the apps that u don't use is disabled.. I don't use facebook so I disable it in don't use google+ I disable it bit I installed like 45 apps :) I don't. Known it should have better battery than what u say just Send me screen shot let me.have a look..
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
I'm still not used to the small keyboard bit the good thing that u can adjust the size of the keyboard which is awesome
[Galaxy S6 General] KristianKenneth:
I just got my S6 32 GB white from Jarir. They have on display both Gold Edge and Flat S6 but is not available for purchase. The gold variant certainly look great!

I had no flash issue by the way. I just checked now. My problem though is I can't seem to download any app in playstore! It can download apps but really really slow. 1 hours for 45mb whatsapp app? really? But I can access internet and youtube videos fast. I think there is a problem with google framework.
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
Yes I think the framework need to be updated if I'm u I'll hard reset the device and start fresh :)
[Galaxy S6 General] omersak:
What's the build date of your kernel?
[Galaxy S6 General] KristianKenneth:
February 28 my friend. I got tiny scratches out of the box in the bezels ?
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
U should exchange it my friend because it's not right to have scratch a lot of people reporting the same by the way a new firmware is out

Anyone with scratched edge devices in bahrain or saudi

Official prices in Lebanon:

-S6 32gb = 825$

-S6 edge 32gb = 990$

Well we are the most expensive country in the world :(
[Galaxy S6 General] Sumit.K:
Its almost the same here in India. I bought the S6 for USD 807. Technically, its the taxes that causes the price to be so high here in India. Not sure about the tax structure in Lebanon.

---------- Post added at 04:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 AM ----------

Samsung really needs to get its act together this time around. No one pays $800 for a device that comes with defects right out of the box, specially cosmetic defects. I will get my S6 delivered tomorrow and day after I will travel outside for 2 weeks. If something goes wrong and I end up with a lemon, I will have a hard time getting a replacement since retail units sold here in India carry only 7 days of replacement period. Lets see how it turns out tomorrow.
[Galaxy S6 General] avenging:
if its from jarir you can certainly open it up and inspect it before you leave or do they have new policies now that you cant unbox it there and check for any problems? when i bought my gear fit from them i inspected it in store hehe
[Galaxy S6 General] KristianKenneth:
The scratches are tiny, like a micro dot in the bezel, I think the agent will not notice it even if I tell him so. I do notice it as I really try to nitpick on my new device.

Guys Software Update is now available via OTA! I am downloading it now. 250MB in size. [MENTION=3058792]omersak[/MENTION]

:highfive::good:
[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
Not the most expensive , here in Egypt official price for major carrier is around 838 .if you take into consideration the 10% Customs and 10% tax that the government apply here , you will now where that premium come from.
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
oh by the way I was Chemung mine again today there is a tiny thin hair lone in the left side of the screen bit I was puttomg y eyes inside it to see it ;) I sent bin hindi which is Samsung agent in bahrain for replacement I guess I'll keep using this one till they replace it. I'm not bothered though because it's really tiny and u can't see it even in sun light .. but I'll exchange it..
[Galaxy S6 General] KristianKenneth:
The update made the fingerprint device more sensitive and accurate. I do not know if it improved the battery life though.
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
I just updated guys I don't feel something changed did u check the app drawer that u can sort apps now A-z
[Galaxy S6 General] omersak:
Yes! I've had the update for two hours now without even factory resetting and I can confirm that the battery is much, MUCH better - the phone actually goes into deep sleep now, which it previously didn't do. Still under testing, though.

And I think you should stick with what you have - micro-dots on the bezel are a lot better than having the the Always-on LED flash bug that a lot of others (incuding myself) have!

No A-Z here as well, which is a shame. I wonder if any other region other than US T-mobile will get that functionality.

This is new by the way in the video setting when u choose other than normal 1080 it gives a pop up but now it's written up with no pop up

Hi everyone ,

quick question guys ,

does any of your units says Fast Charging in the notification panel while charging ?

mine says Cable Charging , so am wondering if i have a faulty charger or something .

It doesn't write fast charging I believe I'm using the oldest charger which gives the normal. Pint of charge not fast charge like the cable . U need to test connecting it directly to the cable and see the charging speed

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Galaxy S6 General] AJ:
sorry , but what do you mean by that , like how directly to the cable ,

the plug goes into the wall , and then a cable goes into the plug & into the phone , that's what am doing .

Yes try that and it should be fast charging

Hi guys anyone from the middle east here got scratched screen like mentioned in XDA ? I'm I'm bahrain and mine has some scratches

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Galaxy S6 General] omersak:
No scratches on the screen itself but there's a small micro-scratch on the fingerprint sensor of mine.
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
Ok guys i recall i sent earlier that i dont have scratches then i noticed like hairline ones on the screen, i contacted samsunbg middle east which is located in Dubai and they infomred me that yeah we received couple of cases such as urs but it's the polishing process and as long as you can see it when the screen is on means it's ok (WHAAATTT?) I was so pissed actually and i told them you have 2 days to sort this **** out and send me a new one or i'll put it in the local news papers here and ill make a big scene which i'll do if they didnt replace my device... <br />

See thier answer to this is its the polishing process and its fine... WTH ?????i purchased this unit directly from samsung by the way not thru telecom or anything , see attached scraches <br />

<br />

If they didnt replace it i'll make a big issue and i dont care how much it will cost me to have a case on them but this is not right <br />

<br />

[Galaxy S6 General] rndinit0:
I pre-ordered in Kuwait. Same issue, I was told exactly the same thing. Except I did not accept their answer and threatened legal action. I was told my unit will be replaced.

I highly encourage you to push for your consumer rights. Im fairly certain that you must have some sort of consumer protection society. Run it by them. Get a full refund if you have to. Just know that "worldwide" stores are replacing or refunding without a hassle. This is especially true in the US & EU.

Most global companies have always taken this stance against the middle east and refuse to honor standard logical trade laws.

Point is, if you push hard enough you will get what you want. Although by that time, the experience is tainted, and having to look at the Samsung brand might not sit well with you. Because essentially your paying a company a lot of money, despite knowing they are ripping you off, and insulting you in the process.

For a compiled list of sources to support your claim check out: http://s6doa.wordpress.com, tweet it, facebook it, share it, email it. Send it to the papers. Somethings gotta give =)

Hey guys, wanted to ask is there any s6 edge covers in Lebanon or Saudi Arabia? (not flip covers)

Also would you recommend buying the s6 or the s6 edge?

What to look for in the phone before buying it? any specific issue or problem to watch out for?

thanks! :good:

Hey guys,

Tomorrow night I'm travelling thourgh the Dubai airport (via Emirates). Does anyone know if it Is possible to buy a Galaxy S6 there already or not yet? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S6 General] KristianKenneth:
Your scratches are worst! Good thing they agreed to replace it. I don't have scratches on the screen but I have dot scratches in the bezels and I went to Jarir and said they won't replace it. It's minimal anyway.

I get notification like 'Fast charging connected' if I use the wall socket provided with the S6. What cable you use doesn't matter as I use a black cable from my other phone. I still get fast charging nonetheless.
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
It's out u can get it from the duty free I guess

Doesn't jarir do free repairs for phones brought from them? Maybe they can fix your problem for u
[Galaxy S6 General] omersak:
I went to Jarir but they have absolutely no understanding of 'phone never goes into deep sleep and drains all the battery when idle despite factory resetting and adding no apps/accounts'.

They refused and told me it's normal on android phones so I should keep it off when not in use :eek:

there is another thing i am worried about.

Suppost i purchase a sealed box s6 from an e commerce site of uae who ships to saudia and then upon receiving s6 i open the box seal and insert a saudi arabia sim in it, then does the region lock would take place or not.
[Galaxy S6 General] demmo81:
There is no regn lock in the middle east my friend any phone will work as long as it's unlocked already meaning its not bought from network . Even in bahrain if u got it from telecom it will work with any chip. They don't lock it

Just make sure it's international version of the phone... which is 925F
[Galaxy S6 General] ZOHAIBAR:
yes it is the g925F, i am going with your saying my set will be with me in in sha Allah (if God wills) 3 days (the green one :)).

Just that the samsung guy i talked with he was pressing concern against the warranty, that it wont be applied here. I have friends in uae who can take care if something is not delivred as per their saying.

Even if there was a region lock it will still work in ksa if you bought it from uae and vice versa

Is there 64GB in jarir and what is its price?

Also is there scratches on the black one, so its recommended to get the white one?
[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
They had 64GB on launch date , now they are removed from the website , they are listing 32 flat and 64 edge , 64 Edge listed for 3350 S.R..

Many users stated that black is a fingerprint magnet and gets dirty easily , especially at the back .. For the scratches it is always recommended to open it in store , and i don't know if it is a rare or wide spread issue .

[Galaxy S6 General] kemo6600:
380 pound is around 550$ which is too good to be true , launch date was Friday and Samsung store was closed so we couldn't check the price and bought it from jarir just in case it would run out of stock , and it was also bought from dammam , anyway , With Note 4 launch , Samsung store had it 100 SR lower than Jarir if i remember correctly , but not a whole 375 S.R. , that is almost the difference between the Edge and flat in price .
