I love the fact that the Edge is taking all the sales, makes this version cheaper and I love this version, don't really fall for gimicky screens, just want a flat screen good functioning phone.
Buy Dreadhalls or do the demo, headphones on, stand up and be prepared to **** yourself

good find... only thing that puts me away is no external card slot and 32gb is not enough these days.

Sorry that some of you had issues with the handsets you received.
My partner received her Gold S6 on Tuesday. It was in mint condition (possibly brand new) and the EE Sim card she inserted worked immediately. She's really happy with it.

must be a few out of a large batch they must of sold 100's if not 1000's of these at this price !

Not good to hear so many problems. Mine came (gold) in mint condition and seems to work OK, manages to make calls etc. No chance your sim cards are coming misplaced when putting them in?
mrsimbob1 to crazygeordiegirl
10 Feb 16#107
I tried the sim several times along with other Sims. I'm happy with a refund as i think i prefer my s5 as its not as slippy to hold and don't like phones in cases.
Rhys1979 to crazygeordiegirl
10 Feb 16#108
No, if SIM comes loose (or isn't fitted properly) it wouldn't find the network. When SIM is removed a warning message is shown. Mine showed the network (EE) and four bars of signal.
AustinEvans to crazygeordiegirl

Mine was gold as well I have a feeling they're going to cancel my repair and just refund me. Shame as it looks really nice in gold. I wish I got yours lol.

Mine shows signal bars with no sim inserted. Really weird perhaps these are demo units.

mines also being collected (for a refund) as there is no more stock
AustinEvans to mrsimbob1

You should demand a new one. I'm not sure why I was given an option to replace. It mite have something to do with me buying the gear vr on the same order.
Rhys1979
10 Feb 16#103
i asked if they had any replacements and they said they were all out of stock.

Mine has the same problem. It's going back for refund today.
AustinEvans to Rhys1979
10 Feb 16#101
Are they picking it up? Were you offered a replacement, the operator seemed to think it would be replaced with a new one. I guess whoever Samsung outsourced these refurbs to has messed up somewhere.
AustinEvans
10 Feb 16#99
Mine is being picked up for a repair or replacement tomorrow. Makes me think these are new phones as you would think a refurbished one would have been confirmed to make calls...
The number you want is 01628918334
AustinEvans
9 Feb 16#98
Looking at mine I'm on emergency only as well. I assumed having signal bars I was good to go. I'll call tomorrow as well.

Received mine today but cannot connect to network. Tried various simcard's. Anyone else have a problem. Does it need unlocking or something?

Mine works fine with ee. I'm not sure how you could tell if it's locked.

9 Feb 16#91
I have it, battery life is completely fine, averages around 1.5 days for me. Only problem is that you loose warranty if you root the phone. For me it meant that battery life was about half a day, as one of third party apps prevented phone from going into deep sleep. I removed all new 3rd party apps and it's fine now.

Can you watch videos with that VR thing do its like a BIG screen experience, or is it only virtual games ?
callum84 to DonkeyKonk
7 Feb 161#82
You can watch netflix although ive not tried it.
It really shines in occulus video though. You can watch you own normal or 3D videos on the big screen while sitting in a virtual cinema.
fishmaster
7 Feb 161#80
I will try it thanks.
callum84
7 Feb 16#79
Have you tried enabling do not disturb and turning brightness down in the gear VR menu?
Not had the issue personally but read that as a solution somewhere.
fishmaster
7 Feb 16#78
Yes there's a charging port, however it matters little as the phone will overheat and stop you using the Gear VR by the time you get anywhere near close in needing to charge it. I plan to get some other phone this year, probably not another Samsung and then mod the S6 so that there's only the essential things running on it, then I'll see if that stops it from overheating.

Many comments about poor battery life but ive found the opposite.
As with all smartphones, package disabler is a must to cut out all the crap running in the background.
I wake up at 5.30, start work at 7 for 12 hours and by time i get home im usually sitting around 30%.
If i do need a quick top up, 30 mins charge gives around 50%.
Gear VR is indeed incredible. The immersion in a game such as Dread halls is unbelievable.
Yes the phone can get hot, but thats to be expected. Phones dont have active cooling like a PC so it is going to get hot when pushed.
Although it does get hot, its never to the point i would worry about it.
Battery drain on Gear VR is pretty quick but yes you can charge while using and has not been a deal breaker for me personally.
Personally Im more than happy with S6. Will I get the S7? Probably yes a year down the line when the prices drop.
Days of spending £600 on flagship phones has passed for me.

if these were refurbished to original condition then why sell them cheaper and not at full price as a new phone
clearly something wrong with them if not straight away but will be in the near future
still overpriced and overrated
G4 all the way...amazing phone in every way that matters...it's not about having the biggest numbers in terms of specs etc
mitchwales to shaky1910

Freezing cold? Can you find a cheaper Samsung refurbished or brand new cost for this phone then? Otherwise your comment is purely based on your biase and probable ownership of a G4.

Very nice deal! going to hold out for next week's probably S7 reveal though. If you don't go for the S7 then this is still likely to drop further as a result of it.
bellboys
7 Feb 16#65
Yeah for about a week or so......:smiley:
PS Wouldn't surprise me if these were brand new. This phone has underperformed in sales and I bet they have gazillions of them to knock out before the S7 is launched. Apple used to do this sort of thing all the time.

fishmaster to Aeschylus
7 Feb 162#46
Gear VR is awesome, but the phone overheats too much and it kills the battery, however for the 20 minutes or so you get each session before the battery goes flat or overheats, it's still well worth it. I've also found 32GB to be too small for using with the Gear VR, I constantly run out of space.

I know I probably should have just went for the monthly deal and pay around £40/month for them as I usually do as that's usually a better deal since you also get some minutes/text with it all for pocketchange a month, but was too bothered to write my details in for a new contract, hopefully some payg card will also work on them.

stsonic
7 Feb 161#44
I'm probably going to go for a wallet style case and skip the screen protector as I will be using this with gear vr. The screen protector will probably distort the screen and I can take it in and out easily.

Watch out for the Samsung Warranty, it isn't worth the paper it is written on. I purchased a Galaxy S5 when they first came out. Within 6 months the phone wouldn't make/receive calls/texts (I suspect it was a fault with the antenna). The phone went back to the Samsung repair centre but came back in the same condition. I asked Samsung to replace the phone under their Warranty because they had been unable to repair it and it should be replaced. I never heard from them again and they snubbed all further requests.

Aeschylus to mgb20

Did you take it to a Samsung Shop? as they do swap out support, did you issue a chargeback, did you go on live chat and they told you that they refuse to help?
to many variables for your statement, had you rooted it?

Really why you didnt try hard enough you have rights and could of if you wanted to get a full refund !

I was amazed with the service I got at the Samsung repair centre in Wembley and they replaced the screen in around an hour when the laminate started coming off in one corner after being 20 months old (and might have had the odd drop :wink: ).
Top service.

Evouk to nickanuj
7 Feb 161#8
For some 16gb is enough. My last two phones have been 16gb and I've managed. For me 32gb would be a bonus tbh.
Same here and don't want to have to rely on the cloud before anybody starts.
The price of memory nowadays and especially without an SD card slot they should have higher capacity phones.
mgb20
7 Feb 16#32
Did that. Twice I got the "I'll have to speak to a supervisor" excuse and noboby ever answers the phone; and on other occasions they just hung up on me.
Aeschylus
7 Feb 16#27
oh remember S7 will be all about VR, so if you are not into VR you might want to look elsewhere is you are holding out for the S7
Great price. I've had the S1 to S5 but was put off with no removable battery and expandable memory so ended up getting Note 4 which is a beast of a phone

7 Feb 162#22
I LOVE my s6; Ive had many many flagship phones and nothing comes close.
design, quality, speed, software ; all great!
yeah battery drains quick but it charges from 0 to 100% in like an hour .. I plug it in and go for a shower and its picked up 50% charge whilst im getting ready to go out.

According to the buzz . Samsung made an error with non- removable, is what set it apart from iPhone.

nothing wrong with the phone, Android lovers were always going to slam any maker that tried to go Apples route of a closed eco system...
What does it tell you that the S7 is likely to be very very similar to the S6 in specs except with the removable SD card slot back in?
f2k8
7 Feb 16#18
What, there's going to be a removable battery too?! That's the only reason I'm 50/50 on the S7 atm, I like having 2 batteries, especially on night outs where I'm using my camera a lot.

7 Feb 161#16
S7 reverting to type with removable battery. S6 is not Samsung's defining glory, if anything it was a regression.

Currently own a LG G3, will upgrade this year to either a S7 (heard there's a bigger battery and a Micro SD slot) or an LG G5.

A very average phone, crap batter and sub-par benchmarks ?. OK. For all the cries of sheeple to Apple - I'm indifferent- this is laughable! G4 at £225 is incredible for a very similar phone - better, if anything - with superior camera.
