[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
This post is for the security junkies who are familiar with the 4.3 to 4.4 crisis that some of us have experienced with VPN and security issues not so long ago. I hope to catch the attention of some of you who may also be security junkies like me who are also wanting the S6. I've been researching some issues that I'll talk about here for some time now and trust me, I've been debating where to even post this thread LOL..... so for what it's worth here we go....

Okay fellow security junkies...here's the deal...

My favorite device to date was the

Note 3

on 4.3, because everything just worked flawlessly. OpenVPN worked and stayed connected beautifully along with all the other security perks that I had on my device. The code on 4.3 was much more friendlier and cleaner before it became communist on the security side with 4.4 Kitkat. Then the fall...remember when Kitkat 4.4 came out? After that upgrade all crap hit the fan for us security junkies. Trying to stay connected to VPN was a nightmare and things were just not as smooth as it once was before. Then there was that period of time when we couldn't even flash back to 4.3. Remember?

I have a

Note 4

, on the unfortunate 4.4.4 Kitkat running VPN, AFWall+, and Xprivacy, along with some other tweaks for privacy. Everything works great....Not Note 3 days on 4.3 great, but I'm not complaining....however, I'm a little concerned that history might repeat itself like with the 4.3 to 4.4 nightmare....

Then comes Lollipop 5.0.... and now the S6 that we all want comes stock out of the box with Lollipop 5.0.1

As a victim before coming from a perfectly working Note 3 on 4.3 to experiencing a nightmare after upgrading to 4.4, I do not desire to go through all of that again and regretting it....but it's different now because we're talking about jumping devices AND to a different version of the software.

So here's the deal:

VPN - I have yet to see any confirmation if whether OpenVPN stays connected on Lollipop 5.0.1 ? With all this tightening down on security and google screwing with the code the behavior and stability of how well VPN will stay connected is in question.

Xposed - Doesn't seem to be working well with Lollipop...bootloops to it crashing.....sucks....

Xprivacy - One of the most important of them all seems to not work on Lollipop, not because of Xprivacy itself, but due to Xposed causing it to crash. So from what I've gathered, until Xposed comes out with an update to play nice with Lollipop, we're kind of SOL until that happens. This sucks....really sucks....

AFWall+ - Still unknown on how it'll behave on Lollipop 5.0.

I keep my set up pretty simple and straight to the point and do my best to keep it clean as possible. Personally I don't like clutter and keep only the apps that I really need and use.

I've had a chance to spend quite some time with the S6 and S6 Edge and I must say that I'm impressed. Like some of you, although I absolutely love the Note 4 and will be getting the Note 5 for sure when it comes out, I do miss having a phone-phone. So call me strange or whatever, but I'm really wanting to get the S6 Edge to experience a phone-phone again and enjoy it for ~5 months until the Note 5 comes out hopefully in September.

The only thing holding me back on getting the S6 Edge is the issue with Lollipop 5.0.1 that comes loaded with it and Xprivacy not working

because of the lack of update of Xposed to dance well with Lollipop

. As for the VPN and Firewall, I'm pretty optimistic those will be fine.

So is there anyone else out there with similar concerns? Again, I know all of this probably would only apply to 0.1% of the people out there, but hey....for what it's worth..... I've posted it.....so we'll see....

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all and cheers to the release of the incredible S6!
