Samsung Galaxy S6

[Gboss]

It seems my next option is to do a reset. Battery lost 24% in 6hrs last night.

That's very high Idle drain you have there. I have some nights where I only lose 1%, if you look at the screens hots from my previous post you can see the almost flat line when I'm sleeping.

Let us know how it goes after a factory reset.

Another tip is to not restore any apps or app data or transfer settings from another device when going through the startup wizard.

This. I will then recommend you don't install any unnecessary apps at first, maybe just like a whatsapp ... not facebook. Then see what the drain is like with a nearly clean phone.

Anyone else still waiting for Samsung Pay to hit South Africa?
It's gonna be awkward payments via mobile for the first few months after release.

No one will ever get that fridge, I have used the app daily since May and I only have a total of 196236 points earned.

Just link to me please, I WILL get that fridge and then I will stock it with onhebbelike alkoholiese verversings and invite everyone over!

That's a promise

Ahhh well. I'll remain hopeful. The apk (extracted from an American device) is available but unusable - "activation" required.

Samsung is quite active in SA, and always seems to have excellent support here, So I'm sure it'll be released here... well hopefully.

The reserve bank might have a say in that

I had the 5.1.1 battery drain issue for a few days - but it seems to have sorted itself out.

It really sucks that Samsung had to fiddle so much with the LED notifications - Ligthflow doesn't work the way it used to now.

I have "Do not disturb" automatically enabled between 10pm & 6am but the LED still lights up for some reason. Any way around this? I do not have any 3rd party LED apps installed.

I did a factory reset and it seemed to sort out the battery drain. I am currently standing at 30 hrs with 18% left. Yesterday did 32 hrs with 12% left.

I didn't think I would enjoy this phone as much coming from the Note 3, but I really enjoy the smaller design, build quality, camera and overall clean up of the OS. I do miss the S-Pen functionality. Only gripe was battery life, but that's been sorted.

Now I must just get a case for this phone, but not something that will hide the overall design.
