Very tempted to just sort you out

the phone, not you

 

[ichigo]

nope, because LTE is not supported on the S6 with Telkom network

oh ok you should get the battery life I get then unless you been using it a lot.

Yes otherwise you won't have data connectivity when out of TM coverage area. This is covered by MTN roaming

Thanks for the info gladly appreciate it yes it switches between MTN/Telkom

I use it quite a lot and at home the network is **** so it's always roaming.

I'm happy with anything averaging 12 hours.

My S5 was schit - 6 Hrs max

Depends if you Data is Telkom only or it can be used on MTN, if there is a bad area for both it will keep swopping between the 2 which may drain your battery.

Thanks for the info...

I only ever get 2g at home on Vodacom unless I use my 3g Mifi Telkom Mobile sim card.

Never had a S5, but my S4 seemed to last quite a long time.

Great. Lasts me the whole day. And I have all services on. Wifi, LTE, Location, Bluetooth (with my watch permanently connected and connected to the car when I drive)

What watch?

 

[faniebraai]

What watch?

LG G Watch R

 

[MonkeysUncle]

So far for this day. LTE on, GPS on, screen 3% (1hr).

Seriously. That Vodacom rep doesn't know what the fck he's talking about.

Where are you based?

Fanie, are you sure you know what you are talking about, because some of the drivel you have passed off as technical information does not really cut the mustard. You know you don't have to answer every single response and reply. No wonder you such a massive post count. Frequent charge cycles will fry this battery under 2 years, it will deteriorate very fast I think. LTE will be a major battery drain in a place like SA where we have much greater distances between cell towers, to ignore this would be fatal.

So in the end this device might be cool as long as you are always near a charger ..... had that same feeling with my S4.

Sorry if this has been asked, but I heard there is an app you can use to register your S6 with Sumsung for the free screen repair etc.

Does anyone know what it is called?

I was thinking the same

Had difficulty with the fingerprint recognision a while back. Battled to get access to the phone.

Damn, that is quite scary.

Thankfully no issues as yet with mine - 99% accuracy
