Actually my note 4 is a TMOBILE phone on ATT and it works beautifully and I get much faster speeeds on ATT than I can ever get on TMOBILE. The only way I can make phone calls in my house is with WiFI calling. THere is something wrong with that - that you can only make phone calls after connecting to WIFI - I keep hoping TMOBILE coverage will improve - but I do spot speed checks around the city and I don't ever get close to the data speeds on TMOBILE than I do on ATT - I don;t want to dump on TMOBILE - they have their benefits - but for me, att works best - -
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] chillsen:
The biggest mystery to me is the success of T-Mobile's Wifi Manager. It can be found in the settings of the My T-mobile app. Read the description below, if it can flawlessly do what it says it can, it will save a lot of battery as others have noted, is due to wifi searching in standby mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DC2CA:
One nice thing about wifi calling is that it shuts the cell radio off and saves battery while providing a better connection. Also, tmo will give you a free AC router if you're a postpaid customer. I'm stuck on 4G with my current phone so I don't know about LTE speeds. Are they faster than what you get from home cable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
They can be on ATT but I have not gotten those kinds of speeds from TMOBILE (I thnk others have - it all depends on where you are I guess)

You had a note 4? I went today to check the s6 at the store, this phone is very simple and beautiful. It looks really small compare to note 4 but the screen kicks the note 4 it's very crisp and sharp. My question here, if you had a note 4 did you feel a different when you hold the s6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
It's hard to explain why I wanted the S6 - I love the NOTE 4 -it is a great phone - and while I don't normally mind the size, sometimes it is too big for the things I am doing at the time - at work - play - taking photos - (which I do a lot) - creating videos (which I also do a lot) etc.

So - I wanted to get the S6 for the Camera - screen quality - performance - all of which is better than the NOTE 4. Don't get me wrong, I love my NOTE - but sometimes the phone size is too big for the situation - I rarely use the Stylus - but there are sometimes that it comes in handy -

I also like 'toys' - :) - my wife says it is a very expensive hobby and she is right - but each time a new "flagship" is released - typically, I will upgrade to it -. With no regrets - I often sel the old phone when the one arrives - but I wont be selling my NOTE 4 - not anytime soon.

I love SAMSUNG PHONES - and every six months or so - when a new phone is being announced, I am in the pre-order, eagerly waiting for my new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] glensta:
Dude, I'm a +1 on this coming from the Note 4 as well. Love the new flagships! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JesseMT4G:
Picking up a s6 for the wife. I haven't really been enticed since the Note 2 as touch wiz is so slow and cluttered. Not much into rooting anymore, so it's factory OS or downloading a 3rd party app like Nova or the like. People really seem to like the new lighter touch wiz, so hopefully it's true. I'll test it out in the store this weekend. If I like it, might switch my LG G3 to the s6 on Verizon.

Have family plan through T-Mobile and work line through Verizon.

I will say if you get good signal with T-Mobile, it's hard to beat. I have amazing speeds and connection at home, way better than my Verizon line. However when in the middle of nowhere, Verizon is still king, hence having to do the single line.

It just depends where you live and how much you travel.

The s6 looks like a great phone. Of course not without its faults, smaller battery and supposedly a select few with the camera flash staying on.

Like:

Speed

Sound Quality

Feedback on the buttons

Camera quality

BLAZING fast 4g

Dislike:

Terrible battery life (4-5 hours of Screen on Time)

Cannot disable the task-switches and back LEDs

Lollipop is the devourer of RAM (Windows Vista Portable)

Gets hot with browsing

I like the phone, but the battery life is slowly becoming a deal breaker. I hope they release an update this month, but if not I may return the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] donnybright:
I was not let down this year!! The s3 was awesome, s4 was brutal, s5 was meh.... I really like how light and thin it is. You can get a case for this and not feel like you have a brick in your pocket. The camera is awesome, great pics and it launches fast. Battery great for me and it take a little over an hour to get a full charge. I like the fingerprint/password option for the stock browser, no more passwords!! The only thing i didnt like was the back button and multitask button would light up when you touch the screen. I booted up ADB, threw in a few commands and got rid of that. Now they stay off. Once T-Moblie gets the wifi calling/VoLTE issues fixed i think we will be in good shape.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cpufrost:
Phone is great no doubt about it.

TMO coverage in our area not so great.

It's not a signal issue but a speed issue. EDGE is horrible!

But not far away LTE comes in and strong like 60-70 down and 15+ up! Better than ATT!

I hope they get those towers turned up soon, one less than a mile from our property is supposed to get LTE by July 2015.

So I'm waiting for an unlock code from TMO directly so I can use it on ATT for now.

We live on some acreage with wifi coverage like a theme park so it's not like I have a brick but I don't like to be tied down either. :cowboy:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] alhadee12:
I'm thinking about trading in my Z3 for either the S6 or S6 Edge. I've used a Note 4 and saw that some people came from the Note 4. Is it really worth the jump? I don't want to trade in my phone and be stuck.

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

What device did you come from?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KingFaisal:
I came from the Xperia Z1s. Which had REALLY good battery life (4g was still kind bad). Are you jumping off the Z3 or trading it in for credit?

I don't see a point of upgrading from the Z3 unelss theres some killer feature you want (I personally am looking forward to Samsung Pay). Wait until the Z4 and LG G4 are out and go compare everything yourself. I'm considering returning the S6 and getting a Z3 or waiting for the Z4 as crazy as that sounds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] alhadee12:
I was just looking for something a little different and Samsung seems to be offering a step up from previous devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] KingFaisal:
You know, a custom rom would probably elevate the S6 to another level.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] alhadee12:
I would be trading it in for credit as well.

Might want to test the phone before getting rid of that Z3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] donnybright:
Check out the user "averix" he made an app that controls the buttons so u don't need adb

Or look in the playstore it's called galaxy button lights
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] alhadee12:
Do you think the Z3 is better or just as good?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
For controlling capacitative button light on/off or duration use this guys.

It does not have a battery impact

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cellsafemode:
Haven't modded the phone yet. But a couple things I suggest.

Manually look for the samsung push service update in google play, my google play wasn't detecting the app for automatic updates (yet it showed up as an update available when manually searching for it). This is a bugfix for excessive battery usage.

On top of that, disable _everything_ you dont use that comes pre-installed. Every app (if you wanna play safe, only the apps you recognize as ones that show up on your app drawer but you dont use).

Disable wifi calling, eats battery it seems. Disable any other "automatic" features in the phone like screen amoled color, brightness, etc.

Obviously, blackish background and stock theme (or darker).

Did all that and my battery usage indicator has 12 hours off battery, 16 hours left at my current usage rate and this is a new phone so i've been using it. Awesome. Before all that, i watched it drop 5% in a quarter hour.

Essentially, this removes most of the gimmick features that set the phone apart from something like a nexus device, but that's not a problem for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] laureanop:
The multitasking in this phone is driving me insane. Apps are killed and redraw constantly.

Unacceptable in a phone with 3gb of RAM !

One day left to decide whether I return this otherwise excellent phone!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] benjmiester:
I did the very same thing. That was a big selling point for me. $120 value (probably more like $100, but still). I love the phone all around. The only think I don't like, which is a very minor thing and very minor, is that when I map an address in maps, and try to zoom out with an opposite pinch motion I bump the back button a lot. I just got a nice slim Ringke case and that helps with that issue a lot though.

I mainly bought it for the form factor, it's much easier to use, and smaller exterior wise than my past several phones, yet has the same size or bigger screen. I love the speed and camera as everyone does. Biggest thing for me ironically though, is coming from an M8, and a Z2 before it... I wanted louder sound. This may seem bananas as both of those phones had front facing stereo speakers, but while they had a great soundstage and stereo effect, they weren't actually all that loud. I need loud notifications and navigation voice for when I'm driving to combat the road noise. This phone is just retarded loud, and I saw that there's already a volume mod too! I'm actually still surprised every time at the fullness of that one tiny speaker though. It's no M8 of course, but not all that terrible far off either. Best single speaker I've heard on a phone for sure. I've seen a few tests that show it's indeed several db louder than anything else too.

---------- Post added at 04:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 AM ----------

That's odd, maybe there's a problem with yours. I don't think I've seen many redraws. Just using Dolphin browser, but that's the only one that's done it for me after like 2 weeks of use. It did it on my old phone too.

Did it get better? Or did you end up returning it?

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

I'm curious about this too, as I had a Z2 before going to my S6. The Z3 looked like a pass for the Z4 for me. It was just a bit thinner and smaller, otherwise almost exactly the same as the Z2. Obviously battery life is better on those, but for me I can still use my S6 the same amount and make it through a full day no prob. I always charged my phone every night regardless, so no major difference for me oddly enough.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] alhadee12:
I picked up the S6, but there was no promotion going on when I went in Saturday. I didn't trade my Z3, but right now the S6 hadn't blown me away on respect to the Z3.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] JoeFCaputo113:
What the heck is the difference between THIS (a regular HD Screen Protector) and THIS (a tempered glass screen protector)
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] twoeleven99:
Reg screen protectors are just thin pieces of film that don't do much protecting against drops, but will prevent minor scratches. Temp glass usually has a hardness of h9 and will save your screen if it takes a bad spill, I know of this first hand. Hopefully the temp glass will cracked leaving your phones screen intact. Temp glass is just better protection all around AND it will prevent your screen from becoming part of the recycling trash on friday. Temp glass has saved me twice, one with a note 4 and once with an LG g3. I would never go back to buying those thin film protectors that do nothing
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] ScottyNuttz:
I don't have first-hand experience with tempered glass protectors, but I do think standard screen protectors offer more protection than twoeleven99 indicated. I used a Skinomi front and back protector on my Nexus 4 (also a glass sandwich), and it adds a nice barrier to the glass. It also has some give, so it absorbs some of the impacts that would otherwise shatter glass.

Another thing I liked is that it adds slightly more grip than glass, preventing drops and slips. It would also be way more practical for the S6 edge, since the wet-apply ones can handle curved screens no problem.

That said, I'm going to give a tempered glass one a shot this time to see if it is more clear (eg: less rainbowing or orange peel effect).
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] il buono:
As mentioned already, a tempered glass screen protector will do a better job protecting your phone's screen from damage. They may cost more initially, but they'll last a while. You typically have to change out plastic screen protectors more frequently after light scratches have built up.

Sent from my iP6+
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] asdfvtn:
I've been using tempered glass screen protectors for the last 2 years. They add thickness, but they're honestly amazing. One thing that I've never really confirmed, but I keep hearing rumors that when dropping a device with a tempered glass screen protector, the energy disperses onto the protector, therefore shattering the protector rather than the phone's screen itself. I never really had a massive drop before to test this out (nor do I have the funds to break my phones), but I have dropped my G2 before, and the corner of the protector cracked while the screen itself was completely fine.

I also like how glass feels compared to PET screen protectors.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] twoeleven99:
I've had the tempered glass completely shatter from one end to the other on 2 devices. Peeled it off and the screen under never had a scratch on it

Hey friends!

Im not sure if im posting this into right thread, so if not, please move it to proper place.

Well, as topic name says, im looking for a way how to prolong my battery life. Im gone from home for most of a day, and im running out of battery at times i need my phone to be awake. Im currently using (my signature) and im looking for any advices for apps, tweaks, roms, mods and kernels made for battery life. Im not prone for some kind of smoothness (which ROM im using really is :D ), ill let that to more powerful smartphones; i need it for work. And i dont care which Android version or kernel version ill be using.

Thank you for any advices.

PS: Geolocation is constantly off, same as mobile data. Brightness is on "Auto".

Google Play Services is a battery killer... the latest version is a complete disaster.
[Nexus S General] Warren_Orange:
You said it mate. I just had to wipe my Nexus S that was running CM11 weekly because about 2 weeks ago I had massive battery drain. At first I thought my original battery from 2011 had packed in so I got a new one out of the draw but battery drain was massive again. I looked a Google Play Services and it was draining 75% of my battery while the phone was in standby. I tried narrowing it down to a certain app but gave up - I just couldn’t stop the battery drain. So I put the latest CM11 weekly on and so far its back to normal. But I have no idea why a stable phone since January suddenly had a problem with Google Play Services. It must have been an update or an app. Who knows.

I just hope it doesn't start again.

Remove the cache for your Google Play -- Go to the menu–>settings–>apps–>all–>google play store–> remove cache, then try to run your google play again. It is better to do a reboot.

Try to delete your google account and add your google account again -- Go to the menu -> settings -> account remove your current google account then add it again here.
