Hey guys. If you need cases and screen covers for the s6 and edge. I got some. Pm me.
I have the edge and so far no complaints. Its fasssst and the screen is awesome. Camera is pretty sick too especially at low light. Beats iphone 6 for sure.
Make sure when you gjys are renewing your contract, get fido/rogers to waive the $25 hardware upgrade fee. They can easily waive it.  | |

Anyone else's Edge can't hold a GPS lock? It'd lock onto like 10+ satellites for a while and then drop them all.
Also, Google Maps doesn't speak street names. Cleared caches for maps and TTS as well as full reset as it's a new phone but same thing. Even when it's the first app executed after a reset, it still doesn't read street names. My S3 was doing that since maps version 9?
Those are the two things that bug me right now... lol, might get it exchanged at Telus if GPS turns out to be a hardware issue.

yeah mine often keeps searching for GPS signals. doesnt bother me too much though as I still get good battery life out of it!
so far very happy. came from a nexus 5 which died .. perhaps a blessing in disguise as this phone is amazing so far. even with touchwiz. my first instinct was to root it and find a vanilla lollipop rom.. but it's been 2 wks now and i actually dont mind the touchwiz. camera is fantastic too..

Got my gold S6 yesterday and was definitly worth the wait. Its silvery gold in bright light and real yellowy gold in dim lighting. Phone is much faster in day to day operations compared to my Note 4. Battery life is mediocre but I knew that going in.

The edge is kinda gimmicky. I only chose it cause it's my work phone so I picked the more expensive one.

People think that success of the Edge is dependant on the features available for the Edge function and the Notifications that can be displayed on the Edge.
However, the Edge itself gives the user a visual experience on every screen unique to almost any other phone. This is valuable for someone who has been using the Galaxy S series phones for awhile and is tired of the visual experience that Samsung keeps pumping out with their same ol' Touch Wiz.

You mean the visual distortions on the sides? I turned off all the edge features actually. It definitely feels nice for edge swiping but I wouldn't say that the visual experience is definitely worth it.

The version of TW on the S6 is much smoother/faster than the versions on my Note 4 and my old S5 and Note 3. On another note, battery after a couple of days is MUCH better than expected.

There has been news about Samsung using different camera sensors for the S6. One being the Sony IMX240 sensor and the other being the Samsung ISOCELL sensor. My Fido gold 64gb S6 shows an Isocell sensor and my buddies black 64gb S6 shows the Sony sensor. Which one do you guys have?
To check enter *#34971539# in the phone dialer then go to "ISP version check"

lol.. the difference between the 2 camera for the average user is negligible.. if you are a photo/camera enthusiast.. then you might notice a difference.. it's funny how ppl are making a big fuse over it online lol

Yeah, I'm more concerned my GPS don't work. I've been bugging my Telus rep for a replacement but apparently the white 64gb Edge is in short supply.

Welp, time for me to get a case . Fell out of my pocket when I was sitting down and the rear glass is now cracked. In case anyone was in the same predicament, replacement glass backs are $120+tax for parts and labour at the Samsung repair center. If your so inclined to DIY around $35 bucks for the back on ebay.

sony camera here., that link comparing the two.. some photos the sony is nice than the iso and vice versa.. i do agree w/ the comment that the sony pics are warmer..
so... my camera had dust behind the lens which created a blurry spot.. was referred to the samsung service center in richmond whom cleaned it for me for free udner warranty. also replaced my front screen for some reason.
before dropping it off they suggested backing up my photos, etc as there will be a risk of it being wiped. yup, phone was wiped. in fact, when i started it back up, it was like the first day of unpackaging it- older OS included.
wonder if that's their way to see if you've rooted it and void warranty?
