[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowbee:
I following this article on AFTVnews to block url string "montoya-ota" on my router, but my FireTVstick still found and installed the latest update 54.1.1.0 .......... and yes, I have verified with other url string that this blocking method does work on my router.

So now I have the latest FireTVstick firmware installed, not really a big deal but just wonder if other blocking methods still works, if so, let me know which as I'd still like to have control on if I want an update from Amazon or not
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forty0z310:
I used this part of that same guide

"If your router is capable of blocking access to specific domains, set it to block the following 3 domains:

amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net

softwareupdates.amazon.com

updates.amazon.com"

And that blocks updates to my Fire TV Stick and Fire TV.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowbee:
Thanks, I will configure my router to block those 3 URL's

Are there any side-effect with blocking those ? Like any problems with upgrading Apps and/or playing Amazon Prime movies, etc ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forty0z310:
I haven't ran into any problems.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowbee:
Sorry guys, false alarm. I figured out what was wrong.

My router was blocking URL string "montoya-ota" for non-VPN traffic OK; however, I just realized that the router isn't blocking VPN traffic for the FireTV stick where all its data is passing thru a VPN tunnel. Duh :silly: Good thing I used pm disable com.amazon.dcp on my other FireTV boxes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
The only problem is that the 64 GB S6 and the 32 GB S6 Edge are the same exact price. While the 32 GB S6 is $120 cheaper than the 32 GB S6 Edge. Decisions!!

Title Note: Mod changed to allow this to continue as a owner thread. This should include preorders and normal orders afterwards.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jptech:
Just placed my order for a 64GB Black S6.

I'm supposed to get it on 4/10. We'll see.

Now I need to decide which case to get. I really like my otterbox commuter, but I'll need to weight that against the spigen cases. And also really hoping Spigen decides to make a glasr for the s6.

**UPDATE**

I cancelled my original pre-order made on the 28th. I then replaced my order on the 5th. My order is pending just like the first one was.

** 2nd UPDATE** Still getting it tomorrow, the 8th.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Dude I got the same exact one lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bricky23:
Ordered the edge gold 64. 2-3 weeks to ship ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] eli3rd:
Im waiting for morphie case to be released
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mikemq2003:
Welp I ordered mine yesterday afternoon through bestbuy. First 65000 to preorder with them gets a free wireless charging dock. Sucks only 3 colors are available to preorder. I was really looking forward to the emerald green. :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] likearaptor:
I preordered a black 64gb s6 at the local sprint store Friday. I would have done it at best buy but I have a corporate account and best buy couldn't do the order. Have you heard tmobile preorders are getting shipped out now and will be arriving at the users houses this week? I hope sprint wants to ship them out sooner too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tft:
just as i said would happen.. only black and white available... probably not sprints fault, but samsung and their over-market, never deliver B.S.. as usual. probably won't be able to get one of their over-marketed colors until 3 months later.

after seeing the prices i will wait a few months for prices to plummet. the 64Gb edge is $400 with 2 year contract lol. fking samsung think they can sell prices the same as apple does. like seriously, $100 more for the Edge.. i bet it cost them practically the same to manufacture. what a markup.. I want the Non-Gimmick Edge anyway. $199 for 32GB w/2 years agreement, $350 for 64Gb with 2 yrs. $150 more for 32gb space.. no wonder they wanted to get rid of SD cards..

pricing is not right. the S6 32gb is $199 for 64gb its $350... S6 Edge 32gb is $300, for 64GB its $400.. basically the 32GB to 64GB S6 cost $50 more than the edge version. such BS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] balistic2:
I am struggling with the 64GB edge or the 128GB regular S6.

both are $400 on contract.... YUCK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jptech:
They have to recoup the R&D costs for the edge. But I'm with you on the colors. I was ready to buy a Nexus 6 64GB in white. If only sprint would have actually offered one. I really wanted the blue or green one but ordered black instead.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] maldohector24:
I ordered my 64 G s6 in black. I really liked the gold platinum but it is not aviable in sprint for now. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] dpwhitty11:
On release day after work, I'm marching to the nearest Sprint store to pay off what's left of my S5 and then grab an S6.... I'm so torn on the color though. I figured I would get black, and then buy a green back off ebay or whatever when they're available and switch that out. The white on the camera lens kills the white color option for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Anyone order 128gb S6? If so, do you have an eta for delivery date yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] walkingcorpse:
I ordered one but got "3-4 weeks" as a timeline.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Ya...same here. Well, supposedly Sprint will start shipping today and we'll luckily get ours this week! #WishfulThinking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ljcssmith:
I have my fingers crossed I got the same 3-4 weeks when I ordered
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
I only ordered a white 32gb hoping to get tracking today.

Anyone receive their tracking?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
Changed the title and going to sticky so we can try and keep people to one thread. It's going to get crazy in here otherwise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
No tracking here yet but we may not see activity until tonight if so..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
I wonder if the shipping will be overnight or two day or if it will still take till Friday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] majid25:
Any update with tracking info anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Not here..

Hopeful I'll wake up to tracking info tomorrow
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jodyalbritton:
Nothing Yet

I ordered the 32gb Black S6 and the 32gb White Edge on the 28th. No tracking numbers as of Monday afternoon.

Update on 4/7

Got the confirmation that my phones will be delivered on 4/8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
Sprints Twitter posted again yesterday that they shipped. Someone questioned why no one received tracking and they said they would update when the device is in route.

The iPhone 6 release was about the same way. Took forever for sprint to give tracking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Fyi, just received tracking info (32gb white). So, anything <64gb should be shipping today. I ordered this past weekend, fyi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
Nothing still for me. 32 bg white ordered the 27th. Guess we will start seeing more action soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1lazysheep:
just got my tracking. will be here on Wed. :victory:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
I wonder if we can cancel orders and just buy in-store if not received by Friday and get no tracking info...especially for 128gb models
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] irev210:
You can also track by UPS reference number, which is just your Sprint account number. You might find your tracking info that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] schj98:
My 32Gb black has shipped but my order for a 64Gb black placed several days earlier has not.

I did try tracking by reference number just in case sprint had not updated their site and the 32Gb order came up but not the 64Gb.

Does anyone that ordered the 64Gb Black S6 have tracking?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jodyalbritton:
Tried that, and it did not work. Maybe they sent mine via fedex. I still don't have tracking info on the sprint site.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Supposedly, all shipments are UPS. So, if u sign up for UPS my choice...you'll get notifications first before alerts from sprint.

Also, if u Google Sprint My Order...you can can look up status by order #
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
You should get a shipping confirmation e-mail each time an item ships - if they indeed shipped separately.

Mine dropped this morning and will probably arrive here Thursday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
Still nothing here. Super glad I ordered first thing. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
It's funny my other order from best buy shipped today. Still waiting on sprint though.

I'm assuming my best buy one won't be here until Friday. It's too early to see yet on tracking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
Quick notes:

Root: I don't have a Sprint tarball to send what I need to Chainfire... Sprint is sitting on them still and hasn't released them.

I'm pretty confident the Tmo one will work but because it flashes back recovery I think this may be Tmo and break that as a result.

Recovery: I know there are custom recoveries already built. Believe CM, CWM and TWRP all have been worked on.

Xiaolu helped get these going in short order since China saw the 920F very quickly.

I'll try to get some links up here shortly.

AOSP ROMs: ???
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Damented:
S6 will be here tomorrow

I preordered mine and it will be at the store tomorrow. Here is my question . I work for a indirect Sprint dealer. My DM said if anyone tries to activate a s6 before the 10th it will become a bad ESN. I've never heard of that and when I was with TMobile I preordered the Z4 and got it a week or so before launch. Has anyone heard of such a thing ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] nonstop14:
Back Ordered

Had a gold 64 on order from March but didn't want to wait so I switched it to a black 64 on Monday which they told me would be available to ship. Got an email today my rebate form shipped but my phone is on back order.

*************** UPDATE:

I got another email that said my phone shipped a few hours later via UPS. Be here tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
Considering sprint is saying they are going to get it to you early they a full of crap. No way does that happen. Worst case scenario it wouldn't be able to be activated until the 10th.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
Welp... looks like the device will be here tomorrow!

And I'll have to see what our new biz rep has to say, though he did mention he's on XDA...

But that will probably be to for my G3 line, not the line the S6 is going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jptech:
Looks like my 64GB black will be here tomorrow!

Scheduled For Early Delivery On:

Wednesday, 04/08/2015

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
So this is crap. Finally got my email. I ordered on the 27th and it is scheduled for delivery on the 9th.

I ordered one from best buy on Saturday it is is scheduled for tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jodyalbritton:
Got my notification.

Scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

32gb White S6 Edge

32gb Black S6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] nonstop14:
Updated my post, my phone did in fact ship a few hours later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Sweet! Hopefully thanks to you and chainfire we can have official root for the Sprint S6 by time of official release (Friday 4/10)!

Also stock Odin tars would be great too so I can update my thread ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Good to see people getting theirs ASAP. Any 128gb buyers get a tracking email yet or is everyone in the "3-4 weeks" boat still?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] likearaptor:
Got notice this afternoon my 64gb black will be here tomorrow. Sadly I'm in California on vacation and won't get to see my phone until Saturday :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] rkidd:
Got my conformation today that it was delivered to my local store I tried to be slick and go get it but the young lady said they couldn't give them out till Friday:mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ocbooger:
Pre-ordered on Friday... Black 64GB S6 will be here tomorrow. :D

Sent from my SM-N910P using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] icanttype:
That's really lame since they're shipping them out to people already I dont see why it matters, the guy I preordered with at the store said they sometimes get them early and could possibly call if they do. That's what Im hoping for!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wolfedude88:
Well just to update a little further, I ordered my mom one on April 1st and hers will be here tomorrow and finally this morning mine was updated to early delivery so it will be here today too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] thunderwagn:
Man, as much as I've loved my LG G3, I had to bite the bullet and order the s6. I checked out the Edge and it just wasn't for me. I can understand the _edge_ on the Note, but it just wasn't doing it for me on the s6. My wife on the other hand love the Edge...I went for the 64gb instead.;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
S6 here. Going to try Tmo package to root it for now, will send an update soon.

Update: Tmo G920T root package works. That recovery took a bit longer to boot than expected but don't panic.

But if you can, please wait for a Sprint version.

Links:

Odin 3.10 (Required)

CF Auto Root (SM-G920T) - Will update with Sprint when it becomes available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
I heard Odin 3.10.6 works way better on the S6, than 3.10.

Can you please PM me or update on here when you get the official root file for Sprint S6 and/or Odin flashable firmware. That'd be great so I can update my thread :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] syphen6:
I preordered mine yesterday at around 5.00 PM eastern and got a email this morning that it shipped and will be here tommorow :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] unomedmen1:
I ordered mine on April 1st and mine still shows in process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jptech:
Mine arrived

I am digging it so far, but none of the ringtones are catching my ear..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
There is only 3.10.6 - And you heard that from me. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] kwazytazz:
Any news on the 32gb s6 gold platinum? Only place I see it available but not for preorder yet is from bestbuy website.

I just called Best Buy and they won't release my preorder until Friday
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jdubz:

Play Store

Anyone else having issues downloading from the play store? Speeds started slowing and now I cannot download anything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] surge27:
Reboot and or close Play Store app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jptech:
I had the same issue. All my downloads seem to have stalled while downloading google drive

**UPDATE**

I stopped all updates and then did them one at a time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
Just had the same. By the way, going to try and go to Sprint today to activate it.

Haven't gotten the MSL off of it yet, will update if I get it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Hey Garwynn have you noticed any of these issues on your Sprint S6?

Heat Issue

Camera Issue

Flash LED Issue

Got mine yesterday. Still playing around with it. This thing gets d@mn hot while charging.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ClevelandWheeler:

Anyone experiencing any of these issues though...

Heat

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] muzicman82:
So I'll be picking up my S6 tomorrow from Best Buy. Looking at the different threads here, looks like we're going to have to wait a little before we can root and flash AOSP ROMs?

I'm not used to getting phones on release days.. I generally just get a phone, and flash it before even setting anything up in stock ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lootbooper:
il be picking mine up as well, Ive found some root info on google but ive only read negative comments regarding bootloop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] muzicman82:
Is it confirmed that the boot loader on Sprint's is not locked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ClevelandWheeler:
Yes i see the darn thing gets hot while charging. No issues with the camera.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lootbooper:
Im not sure, never has been before so i doubt it. Hopefully someone else can chime in here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TurboButton:
I have none of the aforementioned issues although the phone has been burning through the battery while idle but it appears to be the connections optimizer causing it. I disabled it and things appear to have stabilized. As for the antutu benchmark I installed the 64 bit tests and got 67568.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jptech:
Antutu benchmarks

It's quite a range. The peel remote was running for the first two of these. I killed it for the third.

Any clue what the little tool looking thing is in box?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ACoolGuy:
SIM removal tool. Anyone taken the software update yet, or know if it will affect being able to root properly? My update is sitting there in my notifications window irking me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] blacksantron:
Tried it.. Mines just stuck at the splash screen. Odin said passed.. Does it take a really long time?

Edit: still at splash screen.. Ugh this is terrible. Am i stuck without a phone until the 925p version comes? Two of you said it worked! Ughhhhhh

Edit edit: still stuck... Can't even turn it off... I can only enter download mode. Or it just reboots. Is there anything i can so besides wait for it to die and hopefully get to recovery mode? Help please!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Atticustrd:
Can we walk into a sprint store today an purchase or is this only for people who pre ordered

128GB S6

Ordered a 128GB S6 White & 128GB S6 Black from Sprint via phone call to sprint on 4/3. Got 3-4 weeks wait email for both. After reaching out to [MENTION=218907]sprint[/MENTION] and [MENTION=218907]sprint[/MENTION]cares via twitter they said it'll be 3-4 weeks before these come in. Not sure, but I guess they want to make the people who spend the most money the most unhappy.

Glad to hear i'm not the only one waiting for the 128GB model.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] dpwhitty11:
You should be able to walk in after noon and get it without any problems. That's what I'll be doing either tonight or tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jbermi:
For the first time since the moment, I am now a Samsung owner....(64GB black)

have gotten every EVO/One on launch day the past 5 years...time for a change.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bigant262:
Does the S6 have VoLTE on Sprint? Or any kind of data while on a phone call?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] ClevelandWheeler:
Im on sprint. My s6's data stops when making a phone call even on LTE. Only time i can make a call and use inter webs is while im on wifi and using wifi for calling.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
Not yet (heard may be coming soon) - but definitely no SVLTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] garwynn:
I didn't test this with the 925P, but 925T users reported it worked on theirs.

Reboot to download mode, try re-flashing (and using the latest version of Odin, ONLY 3.10.6 is confirmed working) and see if that gets you going again.

Also make sure to use the 920T Tmobile CF Auto Root, NOT the 925T version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lootbooper:
Loving it so far, not experiencing problems that ive seen, such as heat issues and LED lit. Excited to get my tethering going but im a bit skeptical of rooting. Il say one thing, i need a case lol kind of awkward to hold for me. And wow does that battery charge fast!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] icanttype:
Just picked up my s6 preorder about 4 hours ago. This thing is amazing compared to my iPhone 4s. Hopefully some better themes come out soon but i love this thing. I'm also not experiencing any of the problems that have been reported like the flash staying on and heat issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] lootbooper:
Yeah the selection of themes is pretty standard, garbage lol. Id make some themes if i knew how, im pretty good with photoshop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] phelony:
Got mine after 5 hours in a sprint store and one of the store reps literally pushing me.

had to go to a different store.

Stupid store rep took the latest OTA without asking.

I hate when the touch my phones.

That being said everything works good except the battery life

but ill give that a few days to settle down.

Ive charged this thing to full twice and i'm already at 70% again.

Really gonna miss my extended battery.

Only other complaint other than the obvious missing sd card slot

would be the speaker kinda sounds like crap compared to my s5

people jumping from htc are gonna hate it.

But that camera is AMAZING!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:

With the exception of the pretty awful battery life (will revisit that after a week of ownership), the phone is fantastic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jptech:

Did they hide or take away the option to just hide apps in the app draw? I see how to disable but want to hide some that can't be disabled
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Hide apps?? I've never heard of that lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Damented:
On my note 4 there is a option to hide them from app draw

OTA

Is there any reason not to take the OTA that just appeared?
