Heh, the lollipop update on my galaxy s5 has hosed with my wifi. If I keep that "smart connect" on all it does all day is drop/connect to wifi like every 5 minutes when there's nothing wrong with the wifi AP. If I turn it off, it works as it should but I mean if it's gonna be that lovely why have it on there?!

Chef De Cuisinart posted:AT&T pushed an update to my S5 a few days ago. I now have KitKat 4.4.4! Oh, and the update managed to break smart network switching, so I lose about 10% battery an hour. And since I went a few days without really noticing, I managed to nearly go over my data usage, since I apparently wasn't ever connected to WiFi. Had this same issue on Verizon a few pages ago. So it's not AT&T for sure.

Reverse Centaur posted:I honestly kinda like the looks of the S6 edge but it's impractical and watching MKBHD's video showed it's still a janky piece of poo poo. Good for them for getting rid of the swipe fingerprint scanning though. I use the swipe fingerprint scanner on my galaxy s5 and I think it works great

axeil posted:So is there a consensus on what the best Android phone on VZW is right now? Can I get whatever the latest Nexus is from Google Play and put it on my account? I've got an S4 that's really starting to get rough around the edges. I thought I'd wait for the S6 but it looks like it's going to cost a shitload and it doesn't seem all that great, plus I love that i've got root on my current S4 so I've made touchwiz and crapware basically disappear. I'm guessing the S6 is going to be locked down from here to the ends of the Earth so I can experience The Magic of Touchwiz. Probably the droid turbo.

Is there a way natively to disable notification sounds when a bluetooth headset is connected - it's weird to have notification sounds come through on the device and the headset. I know i can do this with tasker but I wanted to see if there was a way natively to do this before putting in the effort with tasker. It's Galaxy S5 with Lollipop

The S5 on Verizon re-released Lollipop with a new update. My battery life has substantially improved. Praise be to Samsung, Touchwiz be thy name.

WattsvilleBlues posted:What do you find to be so much better? Things I already like better: The ability to double press the home key to access the camera The fingerprint scanner is like the iphone one now and you just have to put your finger over it The camera lets you adjust the flash without having to drop down the settings menu Touchwiz is far more cleaner (less samsung app bullshit) Things that are neat but i won't use much: The People Edge thing on the side of the phone - because it doesn't support 3rd party SMS/email apps.

Freezer posted:Would you recommend the Edge over the regular S6? Does it have any use at all? I'm due for an upgrade soon, and the Edge version costs about about $130 more on the initial payment. No. If i could do it over again I'd get the regular s6.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Does Touchwiz feel faster this time around compared with the S5? UI lag is something my lizard brain really notices, and Touchwiz has been awful for this historically. Useless apps don't bother me so much since I usually just throw them in a folder or hide them. Night and day. There is no lag that I can see anywhere. Granted I'm using nova launcher and textra. But the camera loads as quick as anything.

WescottF1 posted:I went with the regular S6. Didn't care for the feel of the Edge in hand and the additional functions aren't worth the extra $100. Been very happy with my choice so far. See I think the edge feels better on my hand because of the design, but the extra poo poo definitely isn't worth the $100.

Sereri posted:Yeah mine too, hadn't had to reboot since I sideloaded the OTA on wednesday. I said the same thing about 5.1 but I'm cautiously optimistic. Vendors are extremely optimistic about this update apparently because phones slated for 5.1 will probably go directly to 5.1.1. I know the discussion of the galaxy s6 line 5.1 update said this.

Lothire posted:Would you by chance have any experience with the Nexus 6, and would you suggest the S6 over it in your opinion? Based on my experiences, the n6 has a better user experience via the quickly available software upgrades and lack of touchwiz but the s6 has superior hardware (better camera, internals, etc.) - exception being a smaller screen. So if you can deal with the light flavor of touchwiz (and I do mean light in comparison to galaxy s5/s4) and aren't one of those people that are really anal about having the super cutting edge builds of android I'd go with the s6 easily.

shyduck posted:Someone that's used an S6 Edge for a while, what are your impressions? Is the edge thing worth having, and is it durable? I have the edge. If i could do it over again I'd get the S6. As it stands currently the People Edge only works with stock messages or your carrier's messaging app. No 3rd party development on it yet. The feeds you can put on the information bar are very limited. And you can't have a tempered glass screen protector on it. With that said - the edge feels great in the hand and the edge screen does look really cool.

shyduck posted:Thanks for the info, I use Textual for messaging so that would be a no-go for me. I'll probably just wait a bit for more software refinement, because it does look like an interesting device. Yea I use Textra, so if they could get that supported it would be A++, I also would love the ability to add my own RSS feeds to the information stream.
