[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samarth_17:
6P is an older device but it has great support on xda, plus samsung phones tend to get slow , my friend has a s6 and it is already getting laggy, but the s7's specs seem to impress me. Not sure about the rom development department tho because s6 doesnt have a great support.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wind784:
Only way I'll end up with a Sammy again is if it's a Nexus. Son has s6 edge, still waiting for MM, last security update was in Nov... Never again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I mentioned in another thread that I got to play with the S7 this week and it's blazingly fast and smooth, even more so than the 6P. The SD 820 seems like a real powerhouse and Touchwiz seems quite well optimised. In saying that, it's still Touchwiz and it's still totally locked down and you won't get updates for an age.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnterLordVader:
The S7 will have more developer support because it uses the snapdragon 820 and not just exynos like the s6.

Even than, I prefer the 6P.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocsab:
The S6 has an Exynos processor - probably one of the major reasons why Development has been lagging behind other phones - the S7 will have Snapdragon processors - at least here in the US - which should result in more development, but only time will tell for sure.

I have the Nexus 6p and will be getting the S7 - I have seen camera comparisons and I think the S7 camera has some advantages over the Nexus 6p - and while some don't like Touchwiz, Samsung knows how to make some incredible phones - it all comes down to taste. If you are an AOSP purist, stick with the Nexus - if you are looking for slightly better performance and a slightly better camera with external storage slot (up to 200GB) and don't mind waiting for Android Updates (they will be much slower than on the Nexus) go with the S7.

PLUS if you are interested in playing with the VR headset they are offering free VR headsets with Preordered S7's and S7 Edges.) that is a pretty cool bonus - and one of the things that got me so interested in the S7 edge.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Without getting into pricing, the S7 Edge hands down. I also played with it yesterday and it's an incredibly built phone that's fast and has amazing features.

Almost every key factor on it is better than the 6P...removable storage, better screen, better camera, better soc, better gpu, better gaming with Vulkan, more ram (and faster ram), faster internal storage, water cooled, wireless charging built in, water resistant, better build quality, larger battery, better features, etc.

If you can afford it (since it's considerably more expensive than the 6P), then I would pick it up. The Snapdragon 820 is a very nice upgrade to the 810 and it has the build and internals to be future proof.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bwyan Benton:
I don't care about the "specs" of the S7. Stock Android always wins. I'll be waiting for the new Nexus.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
I myself have just returned the 6P and I am planning on picking up an S7. I just got tired of all the problems with my 6P, as unfortunately I always got lemon units. the first one was bent out of the box, second one bent by the volume rocker, and third one screen was very pink, and I mean very pink lol. I still love the 6P for the short time I had it, and wish all who have the device best of luck!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Se7eN43:
I've been using Samsung galaxy phones since the 1st gen galaxy. No matter how much processing power and ram they put in their devices, the TouchWiz framework always slows them down over time. They performed best when using an aosp rom but that meant sacrificing battery life and camera quality.

The 6P has the best balance all around for the cost and it will be supported longer from Google and the Nexus community.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omz123:
What's all this about water cooling?

My contract is up for renewal and I like the 6p but the hardware issues have been painful (even more so since it's second hand with no receipt I can't RMA). Touchwiz is annoying but not as bad as it used to be and is pretty good on the Note 5 when I used it and hardware will always been excellent and only falls behind on speakers if stereo is a must.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
While I don't know every technical detail about it, in a nutshell the S7 and S7 Edge are gonna have a small pipe with water inside to cool things down under heavy load. Not much unlike a water cooling system for a PC. I think it's awesome personally, and a welcome addition to mobile tech.

Regarding Touchwiz, it's not nearly as bad as the past. Samsung hardware is stellar and their software is quickly catching up.

If you prefer stock Android, then the 6P is a decent choice. Along with Moto phones. If not, the S7 and S7 Edge are super strong candidates.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samarth_17:
Thanks guys!!! I am going for the 6P as i am used to stock android since i have a nexus 5. 6P is an all rounder i think!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omz123:
Ah yes, the copper cooling pipe inside is it? Now that's the closest thing to innovation we've had for a while with mobiles stagnating a bit.

Great decision with the 6p Samarth, awesome phone, just hope you get one of the issue free screens.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:

It's like saying what's better my BMW or the new Mercedes ??
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risaaco49:
I'll always take the Nexus. Those geniuses in the Samsung marketing dept won't get me. :) Some of the features are great on the S7, but as far as specs go, I'm not going to be doing anything that will weigh down the processor. Also, if you're not comparing screens side-by-side 24/7, you'll never be disappointed with the 6P. Save your money and go with the Nexus. Can't beat the price for a high-end smartphone. Software (ROMs) can add any feature the phone lacks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highvista:
A few things will keep me with the Nexus 6P over the S7. First is the ability to be on Project Fi. For someone who doesn't use much mobile data, it is going to save me about $30/mo over my previous T-Mobile plan. The second is that I really like the 5.7 inch screen size of the 6P. Neither the S7 or S7 Edge have as large a screen. The last thing is that, as far as I've heard, the S7 won't be available with more than 32GB of internal storage and also won't allow for the microSD card to be "adopted" into the internal storage pool and thus it can't be used for apps. I have the 128GB 6P and so don't have to deal with the inconsistent ways that the microSD cards are being handled by various vendors or their flavors of Android. For me, 128GB of internal storage was the point where I could justify not having external storage, given the size of my music collection, which I want to have physically on my device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Congratz...wise choice! Enjoy the Nexus 6p badboy on XDA!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PimpFinger:
I'll never buy another samsung unless it's a Nexus, and maybe not even then. I've owned a first gen galaxy, note 4, and most recently a 128 gb S6 edge. At first I loved it; then after a few months it started acting up. Lagging and generally slowing down. Then it started randomly rebooting, and/or just shutting down and not wanting to start without some serious coaxing. Then finally my charger melted where it plugs into the phone. I'll be getting my gold 64GB 6p on Wednesday. I've always wanted a Nexus phone, but they always seemed lacking in the hardware department until now. I'm almost scared to own another Samsung. Had I not discovered the melted charger and unplugged it things could have gotten a lot worse than just a ruined couch.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d08speed3:
I don't care what specs or what cooling gimmick the new Samsung has. Its total crazp after you look past those features. The power of Nexus is being able o unlock and flash custom ROMs and Kernels. The Nexus 6p is a beast and well rounded in my opinion. I love this phone coming from a Nexus 6 and ppl said it wasn't a good upgrade. Wrong!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
To be honest, when AOSP comes out for the S7 and it will. It's going to be a beast.. For me the m10 is the phone I want next. Will be buying it when it's released.

No phone this year will top it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
Have you or anyone else saying stuff like this gone to Best Buy and played with a S7 or S7 Edge?

I'm thinking if you have and had an open mind, you guys wouldn't be saying these things. The S7 and S7 Edge are incredible. The hardware is head and shoulders above the 6P and the software is much improved. Super smooth without a hint of lag.

I was floored when I was playing with them. The screen shines and confirms to me that Samsung gave Huawei their 'B' stock of screens and the camera is incredible.

I understand the root and rom part of a Nexus. But in my mind, a rooted S7 or S7 Edge would destroy a 6P. Especially with CM or something close to stock like that. It would be scary.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tu3218:
The s7 is absolutely no different than every other s or note device. Awesome features and very fast. Guess what, those features turn out to be 90% gimmicks, and that very fast turns into very slow. I had the s6 edge. It was fast, and it turned slow. Not as bad as previous devices samsung devices but turned slow. Never gets updated either. Don't be so gullible over these new features. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind having the latest and greatest. But if you truly keep your phones for more than a year, do NOT get the s7. The Nexus 6P is the way to go. 100%. It will last longer, and be relevant longer.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PimpFinger:
When I first got my s6 edge I was really really impressed with the speed too (as I'm sure you are with the s7 now), and that was switching from an iPhone 6 plus. Really though a fresh out of the box s7 might open apps 1/100 of a second faster than a 6p maybe a whole second on some things? Who cares? It won't stay that way, and the OS on the s7 will be outdated in 3-6 months.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elnrik:
I'm on board with that.

I don't like the button arrangement, or the bloatware, or the user experience in general on Samsung devices. I want the new 820 processor, but I'm more than willing to wait for it to arrive in a new Nexus device.

Since LG announced it isn't making a Nexus this year, it will be interesting to see which OEMs will and what design improvements will come with it. Personally, I'd love to see audio get some Nexus attention via quality dedicated DAC/amp chips like the LG V10 brought with their ESS arrangement.

I think we are at the point with smart phones where some "improvements" are really going to be gimmicks. Displays already have pixel densities beyond what we can see or need, so 4k seems useless overkill. It's been years since we've seen meaningful improvements in battery tech, so OEMs have had to rely on processor and software to help in that department. Because of that, I doubt we will see large improvements in 2016 device battery life.

That leaves camera, audio, storage, and size / design as the major points of improvements, eh? My own argument puts the new S7 and S7 Edge at the top of the food chain... Except for those of us who value an open OS and UX, which frankly, Samsung is the worst OEM for providing. I would dare say they actively suppress openness. So, let's hope the next Nexus saves us from that with competitive design choices.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygul12345:
Not true, maby in the VS, BUT here in Netherlands is it standard that Samsung release their phones with Exynos even when the phone also in Snapdragon doc. So in the Netherlands their will launch the phone on Exynos and in the UK to. In the VS their launch with the Snapdragon.

That's what I said - Snapdragon was being released in the US - I assumed that everyone knew Exynos was being released in Europe...
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binoview:
Has anyone noticed a color management issue when printing photos that have been taken by the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 rear camera?

I've tested 3 different output sources (2 Canon and 1 HP photo quality printer using premium photo paper) as well as multiple phone devices (another identical Note 5, and also older Galaxy S1 and S2). I have also tested with a 35mm digital camera. When printing photos from either one of the 2 Notes 5's, all 3 printers color output is off. The prints are substantially darker and not as vibrant than what is viewed on the phone or computer screen. However, if photos are printed that were made with the 35mm camera or the older Galaxy devices, the photos the output is as perfect as you're going to get. Basically, this told me that there is something wrong with the color management software that is build into the phone in how its translating to output devices.

I contacted Samsung and they of course went through all of the potential causes as I did and they came to the same conclusion as I have. They've passed the information up through internal 'management' and stated it could take months for anything to be done such as a software update. I highly doubt it will go anywhere though.

I would love to hear back from others that have this similar issue and if they were able to resolve it.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
Try changing this and it will probably start matching the photo output.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
Maybe your printer color management settings need to be adjusted for photos taken with your note 5.

I've had a few prints from my note 5 and they are spot on.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binoview:
I find that hard to believe given that I tested 3 different printers and all resulted in the same issue. What brand/model of printer do you have?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhemi4x4:
My home printer is rarely used for photo printing, it's an HP 4500 series all in one.

Most of my prints get sent to various online retailers to print for me. I've never had a dark or bad one come back.

I'm curious on what or how yours is doing what it does. Very strange.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] binoview:
I agree its strange since I've never had this issue with any other photo device until the Note 5.

The best way to describe it is that the colors are darker than they should be which makes the print less vibrant as the actual photo. I tested another shot yesterday against a pure white background. The white printed as a light grayish color.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shdware:
FreedomPop is a MVNO on the Sprint network, and they offer a free (!) service with 500 MB of data, 200 MB of voice, and 500 texts. The caveat is that it's data only, and voice operates on VoIP. But by adding "friends" you can get an additional 500 MB of data for free, so it really isn't a bad deal.

Various APN fixes have been around for those who are operating with custom ROMs, but I've found all of them are slightly different and none of them allow access to all services for data (1G, 3G, LTE) all of the time.

I've tried to remedy this as best as I can. Here is my APN fix, which is really a mod of the existing one. It works great on my Galaxy S3, should be device agnostic.
