Kies and the samsung app store were the worst thing about the S2 when i had that.

All I ever used Kies for was copying data back and forth anyway.  It had backup/restore features and firmware update capability, but both are redundant now due to OTA features that perform the same thing.

Did you get an Edge, or just the normal S6?

I am going to upgrade at the end of the month, haven't decided yet what to get.

Also - is the base 32 GB adequate?

I got the regular S6.  I couldn't figure out what was so much better about the Edge to justify the cost differential.

I got the 64 Gb unit because I have a shit ton of music I'd like loaded to my phone... I've already put 5 Gb worth on there since Saturday afternoon. :)

You could have also just bought a 64GB microSD card.  OH OOPS

I thought the S6 doesn't allow expandable storage?

Good to see Samsung's picking something up from Apple.

That was my point :D   And also why I'm probably not going to buy one.

My Galaxy S4 had its Lollipop update. Since then, battery drains significantly faster. Also, volume is way down, and I've yet to find a way to restore the old level.

Haven't had the volume problem, but battery definitely drains faster after the 5.0 update.

Well, volume might not be the right word; it sounds all muffled, as if all equalizer panels are pushed to max reduction. No highs.

Just got the Galaxy S6. Any tips or tricks I should know? First time Android user. :blush:

So what's people's opinions on the Galaxy S6? I have an S4 and am quite happy with it, but I can extend my contract and get a free upgrade. I use my phone mostly for texting, listening to Spotify, reading (Kindle + Comics), and surfing the web.

So what's people's opinions on the Galaxy S6? I have an S4 and am quite happy with it, but I keep running out of storage space and the battery does not hold a charge as good anymore. I use my phone constantly for emails, spreadsheets, word documents, pdf, scanning, gps tracking my running, texting, listening to Spotify, reading books (Kindle), watching YouTube, playing solitaire while I poop, and surfing the web.
