[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Katrina15:
I had the same problem. I went in EE, O2, Vodafone, 3, Carphone Warehouse and tried every demo and all bar 2 were fine and didn't have the loose clicky home button. After a lot of arguing abd persistance I finally got a full refund from Carphone Warehouse after having 5 devices through exchange. They were insisting that it wasn't a fault but wouldn't compare my handset with their demos. I bought another handset from an eBay store for £100 less which doesn't have the problem so got it out and compared it to the faulty pne and they then obliged to refund me. Not sure if it's related but this one was made in Vietnam... the faulty ones I had were made in Korea?

It is definitely supposed to be firm. I had several arguments in store about this but 100% supposed to be firm with no tapping noise when lightly tapped, no rattle etc.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
Mine is going back as the button is slightly tappy and when you press it on the left side of the button it doesn't work at all. If you have a wierd button it'll probably cause problems in future.

God, now I have to go back to T-Mo and exchange for a fourth phone...I'll just do it after finals. Hate having to reload all my apps. Also, supposedly android 5.1 will fix the flash being lit. Did you talk to samsung or go to their store? My carrier will replace mine if there's an issue.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilmcd:
I took my white s6 back to carphone warehouse today because of the rattle. We opened another 2 in store and they had the same problem. One was even worse than the one I returned. I ended up exchanging for an s6 edge instead which is perfect.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevessvt:
My TMO gold 32gb had a pretty slack home button. Called t mobile and they replaced it no problem. New one is perfect. Extremely tight. And according to Samsung phone info it's a new unit, not refurbished.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetichazzard:
Seems a lot of people are complaining about this. Thankfully mine is tight.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitrous642:
I got my 3rd replacement today. 2 times for mild faulty home button. First time when I pressed it on the far left side it wouldnt do anything when it should and the second time the far right side was a bit off and always heard a clicking sound when fully pressed the button. Now the 3rd time when you lightly tap on it seems a bit loose but by far better than the previews devices. I wont bother going back again as I believe in time its quite possible that all the devices will suffer from a mild loose button. Its a button afterall I dont know.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frafri:
Mine makes a click click sound . Does that mean its loose ? or what do guys mean by loose/?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
The home button will click when pressed to activate, it's meant to do that. But a loose button will make a tap tap sound when you tap on it but don't actually depress the button, if that makes sense. If you tap lightly all over your button without actually depressing it and you don't hear or feel any movement in the button then your button is rock solid.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D G:
I'm in the UK and have taken out a new 2 year contract on EE with a Galaxy S6 32GB Black Sapphire. When I recieved the phone I noticed the button rattled when tapping on the right side. I phoned EE and they sent me a replacement the following day. However the button on the replacement also makes a rattle when tapped only this time on the left side. I phoned EE again and they are sending me another replacement, I will update this post when I receive it next week. Fingers crossed.

Update: I have received my second replacement S6 and the home button does not rattle so I am pleased. Time will tell if it stays this way. I supsect Samsung have a quality control issue with the button assembly component.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Who cares? Don't tap your home button listening for noises lol

Mine was rock solid when new but is loose now.

Does it bother me? No. It works perfect, I just don't tap on it.

You people need to enjoy your phone and stop trying to pick out faults.

That thread "does your phone camera rattle when you shake your phone?" Haha seriously??? Don't shake it!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romdroid.:
How do you know if you have a loose homebutton? I mean mine is pretty good and hard but if I tap on it of course it will make sound...

Mine also makes a clicky sound while my moms phone does not. But it does't bother me

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D G:
Mine replacement is still OK so I must have been very unlucky to have got 2 dodgy ones previously. I imagine some people have loose buttons but don't realise it as it doesn't affect performance in any way. I still have some concern over the long term durability.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTomGo!:
Mine has the same issue.. I've been to the Samsung Service Center, they told me the newer S6s have this issue. They replaced my home button - which means they replaced the whole display - although they told me it may still be the same. At first it seemed like it was better now, not loose, but in the meanwhile it is the same again...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D G:
That is unfirtunate. It's been 6 months since I received my replacement and can report the button is OK. I would have thought they'd sorted this issue by now.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voolandis:
Half year old black 32GB 920F and the button came loose. Does not react to press on it's left side. No rattling so it does not bother me so much. Yet.

water damaged my 8125 and got an unlocked MDA G3 have successfully hit it with every rom posted on here. hands down no issues but I was only able to use my data once on custom RUU_1050 love. It had no tmobile features but i want to be on crossbow. I can load any rom no problem but my cingular data will not

work. Every ROM that has been posted works so much respect to all the vets on

here and I have hit my phone sideways it never bricked once. I just need a way to go with my connect i can load any ROM but they all have Tmobile features in them somewhere. Don't mind the t-mobile stuff just need my Cingular data to connect.

I'm stuck

Cingular Data settings

Are also available on their website in the support section. It contains a picture tutorial on how to enter them.

You could also flash a cingular rom and then save off the EXT-Rom and manually add the cabs back in after flashing to the rom you wish to end up on.

My write up. Think I posted it before you made this thread.

[Galaxy S6 General] PrOpANe84:
I don't have time for anything in depth right now, but I'll write up a quick summary.

I've had the device for 3 days now, and so far I can tell you this is hands down the best phone i have ever had the pleasure of using. I've been with HTC for almost 8 years now, starting with the Evo, then Evo 3D, then HTC One M7. I got fed up with their camera which ultimately made me switch to S6.

I got the black 32GB T-mobile model, and the phone is gorgeous. Build quality is exceptional and feels very solid in my hand. Everything is snappy and responsive. The fingerprint scanner works great, the screen is amazing, and battery life seems reasonable. It's hard to say how the batter will hold up in real world scenarios, since i can't leave the thing sitting for more than 5 minutes right now before i want to look at my new toy again. With extremely heavy use, I've been making it until about 7:00 PM before having to plug it back in.

Being an XDA fanboy, i rooted my phone the moment i got it and removed a lot of the bloatware. T-Mobile did not go overboard with bloatware, but being on custom ROMs for years makes any bloatware make my skin crawl. I was able to root it in minutes, load up Titanium, remove all the unwanted stuff, reboot...and am happy to say i am getting zero FC issues or any other issues for that matter.

The ONLY thing i can say i miss with this phone is the front facing stereo speakers from my HTC One. There's no question that those were better speakers than what the S6 has. Don't get me wrong though, the S6 speaker is sufficiently loud, it just lacks the depth of sound that my HTC One had. This is a sacrifice i will make with open arms though, given the near perfection this device has shown me so far.

In short, GET THIS PHONE! You won't regret it.
[Galaxy S6 General] patrickpetersen:
Rooting and the possible loss of Samsung Pay!

So after you rooted the device, I assume you ticked the Knox.

Is it still possible to use the Samsung Pay feature?

Forgive me for asking, but with the slimmed down TW,

what are the perks of rooting except full backups, titanium backup, custom roms and Xposed yet doesn't work on Samsung lollipop? :)

If you would answer, that would be much appreciated! I bought the device but sue to the easter holidays in Denmark, I will get it late next week! I would gladly leave my impressions , but for now, if you could help me with the possible Samsung Pay root issue, that would be great! :D
[Galaxy S6 General] 3545alg:
I'll keep the S5

In my opinion, Samsung has taken several steps backwards. No water resistance, no memory card and no replaceable battery. All three of these omissions are important to me. I'll just keep my S5 until Samsung sees fit to add these features back in a future version.

Apparently they think Apple has good ideas.
[Galaxy S6 General] poczynek:
They won't see fit. This thing will sell like hot cakes.

They found that less than one per cent actually use the battery swapping or expandable memory.
[Galaxy S6 General] latino147:
Well, Apple sells tens of millions of device agains a premium price. And it works for them, so SS would be stupid not to try to follow their footsteps.

This phone is what so many people where asking for. A good looking. premium built phone that you can show of to your friends for its looks, not its features.

Then again, all those premium materials go wasted as everybody buys a butt ugly case to protect those premium materials.... :silly:
[Galaxy S6 General] 3545alg:
That's a good point. My Spigen tough armor case hides most everything except the screen. What kind of case will protect the Edge model? I'm kind of a butter fingers and I won't carry an expensive phone in my pocket without a good protective case.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I'm still thinking if I should buy a case or not. From my experience, I've never needed one, seen from how long my iPhone 4 lasted. During the time I had it I went out almost every day, most of those days to drink in a bar or at a club, and despite dropping it quite a few times, those particular drops didn't break the glass. The metal sides got dented but that was about it. It's probably because most of the places I go through have smooth floors / carpets and the only times I slapped on a case was when I went hiking or something "adventurous". My iPhone 4 finally died though when my drunk friend grabbed it from me and ran towards the stairs of the club we were at. He stretched out his hand to prevent me from taking it from me and successfully dropped it 3 floors down. Good thing it was almost 4am and the crowd was thinning out so it didn't land on anybody's head (and based on how the iPhone 4 was the first "cement block" phone, that was a huge relief).

My iPhone 4 lived that long despite all it experienced so I'm sure that the S6 Edge, with it's reviews and drop tests will come out of the same experiences more unscathed compared to my iPhone 4.

That being said, I have still been researching on cases and so far I'll either buy a Speck or Ringke case.

... I can't even begin to share how excited I am to get my S6 Edge though. I never thought a Samsung phone would ever catch my eye (which was surprising since I find their TVs / monitors sexy as hell) but I'm sure glad that changed. The last time I got this excited for a phone was when the iPhone 4 was launched.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dissmeister:
Since you have root, could you try installing something like v4a and let us know how it works please? Does it bug out? Im big on audio (which is why I got the M7, for its awesome audio mods) and really hoping to jump back on the Samsung ship with the S6.

After using an S4 before my M7, I'm a little cautious about Samsung though. Unlike HTC or Moto (Personal experience), their devices usually dont make it the long term, both in terms of hardware and software, so Im hoping Sammy fixed all these with the S6. Will definitely miss the Boomsound speakers, but the M9 seriously disappointed me this time :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] xocomaox:
So by this reasoning, sales and profit margins do not equal a good product. You've just explained why I won't be buying an S6, or an iPhone.

I don't really think people are wanting this, they are just ignorant of smartphones. If they only knew what they could have in their hands.. Like the guy driving the Ford GT around town going 5 under the speed limit, never reaching 3,000 RPM.

It is very sad to see such nice-looking phones go to waste. I'm glad I don't use cases!
[Galaxy S6 General] latino147:
i'm not saying that profit margins/sales do not equal a good product perse. What I'm saying is that vendors always put sales and profit first, and the product second.

Otherwise LCD would've been DEAD years ago, but no, Plasma dies because the profit margins are lower and people want 'LED tv's because they are the best'.

If you, being a manufacturer notice that your competitor sells 5x more than you having a product that doesn't make sense or isn't the best you can get out there you start thinking how you can get sales up to that level. If you have to create a product with a few concessions then so be it.

In this case YOU care about a removable battery and SD. I've NEVER replaced my battery in 6 years. And I use an SD because I've a 16GB phone. The only reason why I would need a removable battery is after my phone freezes up yet again trying out some custom rom ;)

The same goes for the GT driver, he might just have bought the car for its looks or status.
[Galaxy S6 General] xocomaox:
Yes, I am agreeing with you about buying for looks and what manufacturers cater to. But I am posting this in a review thread on a site filled with people who use their phones as they were made to be used. I think they will see what Samsung is obviously doing and be turned off by that. Maybe not, though. Marketing and public opinion is very powerful and even the sharpest sometimes fall into those traps.

What's even better about their tactics is that they offer a larger internal memory at the utmost premium price, like Apple does. This is just a terrific business practice, as you want to make a product that is marketable and easily replaced, as well as forcing people into higher price bracket. I do not blame Samsung for trying to turn a profit, I just am disappointed with their product which is not aimed at the vertical I am in.
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
Considering they made this drastic change due to a massive drop in sales..I'd say your opinion is wrong =)

And I know we all hate apple..but don't be silly. Of course their ideas work. You don't become the most profitable company in the world because you're making bad choices lol
[Galaxy S6 General] dondavis007:
Apple phones are great, the OS feels like it's from the seventies but the the smoothness is something I wish Samsung could copy more. My iPhone is mostly taking up space in a box though :)

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

Yeah I'm sure I ticked Knox, but root and the benefits that come with it are way more important to me than Samsung pay. We'll see what happens once they release it...
[Galaxy S6 General] Maknora:
If the sales are good for the s6 this year , removable battery and SD card slots will go away for good.
[Galaxy S6 General] kimkara:
sadly I feel this way some days too. some days the phone runs like a smooth well oiled device, others the battery just plummets for no apparent reason and a reset is needed.

recently I used bloatware remover to dump some of those apps you cant disable from applications manager and I am seeing better battery life.

I'm hoping Samsung will fix the software for this phone as the hardware has such potential.

I have this phone for 2 days now

Everything is awesome in this phone no doubt

But then i see a major drawback or mjstake by samsung u can say

There is no option to arrange the app drawer to alphabetical order :(

I mean common samsung dats not right

This is d first thing i do whn i buy a new phone

I hope they will add dis option in future update

Using samsung s6 indian version phone

Did anyone face the same issue??
[Galaxy S6 General] George.B:
I only have alphabetical order in my G920F, and no other option to arrange icons. But it doesn't matter to me, I use Nova Launcher, after the last update is super snappy and nice. What I don't like about TW in App draw is the size of the icons, to big for my taste.

[Galaxy S6 General] Bear Knuckles:
I just got it on Friday. I'm coming from an S3, but I do have an iPad as well.

The camera is just as good as my friend's 6 Plus.

Touch wiz operates much better. I may not have to get another launcher. Since the Epic, I've had to use Go Launcher, Nova Launcher, and, most recently, Apex launcher.

Phone operates fast, no lag. Yet, I don't plan on having a lot of pics and videos on this one. I'll be using more cloud than local storage.

As far as build quality, I don't understand why anyone even cares since the overwhelming majority of people use cases anyway.

The keyboard still kind of sucks. Will be installing swift key.

Oh, and, out of curiosity, I played with the bloatware it came with and realized some of this stuff is pretty awesome.

All in all, I'm happy.
[Galaxy S6 General] acencen:
Does anyone here notice that the stock camera randomly switched to 6 MP mode ?

I always set the resolution to 16 MP, but when I occasionally checked the Settings menu, sometimes it is switched to 6 MP without my knowing. This happens in Auto Mode, not in Panorama ( where the resolution is capped at 6 MP ).

Anyone has the same problem ?

[Galaxy S6 General] Sinisterunknown:
I have had my S6 for a few days now and it's the best device I have ever had overall. It's a great experience right from the feel of it to the hardware.

I will be rocking this with my tempered glass protector and no cases!

This phone is very fast in all the tasks I put it through.
[Galaxy S6 General] antiguangenius:
Terribly Slow

Everyone be completely honest the S6 is the most slowest phone you ever use, the phone boast the best hardware super cpu etc, sometimes u pic the phone up it just doesn't respond, rooted or not customers roms firmware or now, it just gets drastically slow to the ping where the phone don't do nothing, had note 4 before this and it was not this near horrible, I really think Samsung really messed up this time, along really annoying is when the phone is locked with credentials and you try to unlock it relocks, this is by far the worst Android phone I ever used in my life and I have been with Android since the G1, phone is so bad that my brother that hates apple with a passion actually switch over, we has these phones before launch day and after 3 weeks he go fed up and got 6 plus, there are times I just wanna slam the phone in the wall, honestly I wouldn't even recommend this phone to a corpse...
