Home Wi-Fi is so slow now that I don't even bother using it on my s6 edge.
Samsung! Why the hell would you do this? Why would you want to upset all your loyal customers with this cheep childish looking update that has virtually rended our phone's usless?
It's commercial suicide and if it's not fixed by the time my contract runs out at the end if August then I'm afraid after 20yrs+ of being a Samsung user, I "will" change to iPhone!!

Update has made my phone useless , you can count down the battery percentage , takes all night to get half charge then runs down in a few minutes.
Dont knowhow bad the rest is as the phone does not run for long enough .

Samsung your latest update is horrible! I hate it! I didn't want to update it in the first place but you automatically did it anyway. It's terrible. I wish I can go back to the last one. I can't believe you think this is a good update. If you don't fix it before the end of the month when my contract is up then I am switching to an iphone. It's so much nicer than this ridiculous update. Listen to your customers for a change or risk losing them!

Talk about a piece of crap.
Give us back the pre update version or I'm off to the Apple store.
Particularly world clock. What the heck is that crap about?
They took a great app and totally ruined
Then there is the stop everything when your power level gets to 25%.
And all the rest of the crap.
This update should get an award for the worst update ever.
If I can't reverse these updates then will switch from Samsung.
My advice is switch off updates on Samsung S6

I made the mistake of updating my S6! What a disaster! My phone keeps switching off mid call!! Anyone else have this problem? It would appear the turn off button is extra sensitive and if you touch it whilst holding your phone it's turning the call off!! Unable to see what icons are for, graphics and writing very tiny and in grey. Unable to see log list which has been changed to ' 'recents' which doesn't show up to date call log. The list goes on and on! I have messaged Samsung who have stated that the changes is to save battery power! Stuff that! It's awful!! SAMSUNG NEED TO URGENTLY CHANGE THIS IPDATE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL AND SACK THEIR PROGRAMMER!! It's truly awful and unworkable!! SAMSUNG SORT IT OUT!!!

I don't usually bother to post comments or even read blogs, forums, etc. but the latest update to my S6 has infuriated me and sent my partner into incandescent orbit and so I have to say something.
You're right, no one is going to listen or care. I have been in high end IT for 40 odd years and I know that even if you have a piece of software that works perfectly, someone will think they can add value to it. It's an ego trip ... I know better than the user, so do it my way! They just make changes because they can and THEY think it's cool. It doesn't matter if the user base doesn't like it. Beside that they need to justify their position in the IT hierarchy and build a case for their career advancement.
Now I loathe and detest Apple and won't have an Apple device in the house (for lots of reasons, I'm techie and Apple don't like you to meddle or know what they are doing so they are very restrictive) but if anything is going to convince me to get an iPhone this it.
This update has done the Android world no favours at all and possibly hastened it's demise.

Since updating today, my phone will not charge! When I plug in a charger it say " Unable to charge- charging paused battery temperature too low " and the soft keys are not working at all. Everything was fine with the phone this morning now it is ruined even a hard reset could not fix it.

Totally horrendous update! Completely knackered up my S6! Apart from all other problems texting is a total nightmare, and I'm seriously considering buying out the remainder of my contract and switching to an iphone!!! Sort it out Samsung sooner rather than later...or risk losing thousands if not millions of customers!!
