vitodonuts Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Sprint representative told me that a profile update would be sent out to activate it for the markets that have CA deployed and Philadelphia market hadn't been deployed yet and thats why the S6 is disabled. And then said why are the other CA capable phones enabled except the S6 and edge. She looked like a deer in headlights and pretty much asked me to leave if there is nothing else she could do for me. I said sure one more thing quit bulls***ing me and just say you have no idea what im talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofbeats95 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I just got the S6 Friday night and I'm appalled by batter life (from the S4). It seems to just drain before my eyes with any kind of use. I don't stream anything. Limited video usage. Mostly texting/FB/FB messenger. I'm actually thinking of returning it. Any advice? This is highly disappointing. I did tweak a lot of settings, turned stuff off, disabled/uninstalled all the crap. . . Running in power save mode *all* the time.

That likely is the international release, so figure after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitsospiros Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looks like the S6 might get Marshmallow in January if this leak is true. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsungs-latest-Android-6.0-Marshmallow-update-schedule-leaks--Note-5-in-December-S6-in-January-S4-is-a-no-go_id75917 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprint might send it later in Feb or March, if the past is any indication. Sooner the better. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk I hope the doze function in marshmallow works well on the s6. I've read that it did help on the nexus series.

I've read that it did help on the nexus series.It does work well but not if your phone is in your pocket and you're constantly moving around, which I think it's dumb. On my 5X, I lose about 3% per hr with the phone in my pocket. Data, WiFi, location, and GPS on. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clbowens Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 How are you liking it so far? Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk I like it so far. The camera starts up quicker. The screen looks great. I like the fingerprint reader (though I hardly use it). I don't like the embedded battery and the lack of SD card slot. And it's fast, but still has the few lags in certain apps like the S5 did. So far, the battery life doesn't seem that different from the S5 to me. But one of the main reasons I switched was b/c of the addition of the newer LTE bands for roaming. I will be going to eastern NC soon and no Sprint coverage there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmark27 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I got the 32GB one.I've got the 64gb Note5 and this amount of space is pretty good. I wouldn't be safe with 32 but 64 appears to be the sweet spot for me at the moment. If there would have been a 128gb Note5 option, I would have probably taken it though.

Sent from my Sprint Note5 Yeah, I didn't use over 32GB when I had the GS5 plus the micro SD card, so I figured I was safe with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnygATL Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I have heard that the S6 Edge had carrier aggregation disabled after an update in November or sometime thereabout. I am not sure if my S6 Edge has carrier aggregation enabled or not but it has not really been a huge pain point either way as Sprint's network here is really quite good. That said, does anyone know how to check on this device if CA is, in fact, enabled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturgeonGeneral Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Looking at gs7, did the gs 6 release the same time as the other carriers' version or was there a delay? Sent from my SPH-L720T using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
