How good is the Telkom Network though?

Mine is, yes.



On board is up to you. Edge looks prettier, but is it worth the R200 bucks? That's up to you to decide according to your budget.



As far as I know, the iphone 6 battery is schit

Wonder why LTE only affects certain people's S6, is it the reception causing the battery drain?

How good is the Telkom Network though?

Quite good in town, but it will switch to MTN in the country/rural areas.

How sure are you that it is LTE?

hmmmm sounds right.

how much do you get with LTE on?

if you want, I'll hop off of wifi tomorrow, and we can compare results?

You want us to compare jelly bean with Lollipop? To big OS upgrades later? GTFO

S6 have built in themes. Go to settings, themes... and check out the theme store.

3 themes all bright.

Went to the theme shop no dark themes.


(One last thing, just tell me it's not my imagination regarding my theory with AMOLED? )

@fanie, yes. I had to uninstall the latest update and then reinstall it again. Rebooted the phone and still takes around 3-4% per minute when using the device. It did nothing.

Its not only me, the whole world is complaining. Nothing wrong with my handset. Just a **** phone!

when you went back into the play store, were the other pre-installed google apps still not there?

and dude, seriously, if it was a schit phone, everyone would be complaining, not just you.

 

[faniebraai]

Besides this all. Does anyone know how I can remove vodcom software or do a total clean install of the OS? I factory resetted the device 7 times this weekend and 2 today, but all their **** simply returns?

LOL welcome to the world of Operator Bloat. You can't get rid of it. Unless you flash another countries unbranded ROM.

You can disable most of them though.

 

[faniebraai]
