Seems my S6 is useless since the most recent update day by day, something else would start playing up until yesterday afternoon I hit the jackpot when it ALL went haywire.
Here's my problems...
Freezes, then it reboots itself, then when it starts up again the Samsung logo just dances around the screen. That used 50% battery power. Phone is Pretty hot now so it shuts itself down and the whole cycle starts over.
Did manage to do a backup and factory reset but it's still doing thd same thing.
Now what? Phone is useless. I feel Samsung should replace my 18mth d device..

LaLaFe, 05 Dec 2017I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and our service is with Verizon.... moreI am having the same problem. Sent my phone into Samsung and they said they would fix it. got my phone back yesterday with a letter saying "It has been determined that your unit is beyond economical repair." What does that mean? That they have no fix for their update screw up? Let me know if you found a solution.

My Samsung Galaxy S6 went through an upgrade a few days ago, and now my phone is a hot mess to say the least! I am NOT Happy.
1) Screen won't rotate, and I can not find anywhere to change that.
2) My text message notification seems to permanently be on silent, also can't find anywhere to solve that.
3) For some reason the screen keeps going very dim. I can adjust the brightness, but the next time I use the phone the screen will be very dim again. I can barely see anything on it when it is dim.
4) There is a little "Xbox" menu box at the bottom of the screen now. I don't use Xbox ever. My son has one, so I imagine that is what it is linked to. Wish it would have asked first.
Anyone else having this problems? Anyone know how to fix them?
Thanks!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and our service is with Verizon. Since I updated a couple days ago, my battery is draining wildly fast for no reason, and the charging data on the screen cannot be correct: like it will say 15 % left, I'll start to charge, and then that next second it says it's 35% charged. That cannot be! It's gone haywire. Could it be that there is a disconnect between the data in the upper right hand corner about the percentage charge, and what juice is really in the battery? Or is it really losing charge this fast? Like, doing absolutely nothing but checking an email or two, and it says it's lost a whole charge in 8-9 hours.

The new update messed up my wifi. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 It gives me an authentication error. I tried rebooting and I also reset the router for the wifi which fixed it for a couple hours, but then it started up with the authentication error again. Any advice would be appreciated.

Just did the update, phone won't fast charge and the battery is draining fast. They royally screwed up the upgrade. The last one screwed up autocorrect so that the default word wasn't even close to the word I was typing.
