Samsung Galaxy S6

I did a full charge cycle and then decided to see how it would do with what would amount to normal usage. Mostly messengers, social media, web browsing and video. It managed 18 hours with just over 4 hours screen on time. Voice calls where low but still happy
If it can stay like this I should be able to get through a work day with battery spare. I just wish I could figure out what kept the phone awake for 3 hours, that seems like a waste. At least this time it only used 6% over night so something has improved a lot. Could it just be that Friday it was still very new and still settling?

Serious question: S6 Flat or G4?

S6 trumps the G4 in nearly every aspect besides removable battery and SD card storage. Both great devices though. Also the G4 is a lot cheaper.

This is a great comparison video:

Yeah, the S6 memory management is a great "feature". Let's not call it a bug. :erm:

Anyway I have a G4 so let's leave it at that.
 
Samsung S6 and now I am getting the Note 4 I see no real reason why one would pay for the Note 5 over the Note 4 currently
 
Well, after all that, the G4 I wanted was sold when watching the above video... Looks like I'm getting the S6 Edge instead of an S6
 
Can someone check what their phone charges at when using the fast charger and original cable? Use ampere from the play store. I get 1040mA max. I thought it would be around the 2000mA mark
 
Getting my S6 Edge tomorrow. I know many won't like this :D... but are there any decent covers you could recommend?

1020mA using AC Fast Charger with battery @ 25%
±420mA using Wireless Charger with battery @ 28%
 
I still seem to struggle to get through the day. At this moment I'm on 20% after 8:27 with 2:10 screen on time. Held awake says 2:30, surely that's a bit high(Note I mean H:M). I have location on, gestures, smart stay, and I use HSDPA all the time.
 
I'm hoping it gets better once it's fully updated. Telkom is only putting my DSL line in on Friday and then I'll do a factory reset and update it to the latest versions and see how it goes. I've been told by a few people that theirs got better once all the updates where done.
