Has anyone else had a bug where the phone randomly starts playing the alarm tone, with nothing coming up on the screen - no snooze or cancel options?
My wife's phone has done it a few times, sometimes in the middle of the night. She always just rebooted the phone to solve the problem.
Yesterday it did it to me for the first time. I managed to switch it off by pulling down notification bar, and sliding it up again.
It's really an annoying little bug, just wondering if anyone else had experienced it. Might only be relevant to the S6 only, not Edge.

Never experienced that problem.
What build are you running?
Settings -> About Device -> Build number...
Also what is your Kernel version?

3rd party apps or apps with ads could be your issue. I had issues with them, I deleted the apps and seems to be working fine.

My battery life is fantastic
Battery life is not bad, all things considered.
My issue was with Google Play Services, but since doing a factory reset, the battery has been lasting.
It is a fantastic phone, and you should be happy with yours once you receive it.

No. Only the S6. My S5 took about 2 hours to charge from empty. On the S6 it takes about an hour and 15 mins.
Wow....
How can I verify if the s6 is a local Phone? I'm buying it for my dad from an elderly lady who says she got it as a gift. And her son or who ever is from overseas so she isn't sure If the phone is local or import. Usually I would look at the icasa sticker but there isn't one on the back of her box. So how can I tell? She says the plug is a standard 2 pin. Does it look the same as the previous s5 and s4 plugs? If different Any one mind what's app me a pic of what the plug should look.
I have asked for a pic of the baseband version and imei in the meantime.

Got my S6 on Sunday...enjoying it thus far. Issues I have is that in Lollipop they have removed the option of selecting a contacts list to only show contacts with numbers. I use my gmail for my contacts (makes it easy to move around between devices) and now I have 100's of contacts that show which have only email addresses which is useless on the phone.
Batt life is heavy but then I still have all the bells and whistles on so what can you expect.
