    Samsung Galaxy 6 Active had difficulty connecting to the network just prior to the warranty ending. 10 weeks later difficulty accelerated to warming up and not connecting to cellular.

    $700 phone is now a paperweight after 13 months of scant to moderate use.

    Your options are to purchase the insurance with Samsung. Device will cost the purchase price, plus the monthly insurance and a couple of deductibles, AKA $1100-$1250 over 30 months or $42 per month. Risk it and spend $54 per month like me.

    Samsung rushed their "olympic ad buy" Note device, placed customer safety second to profit and the galaxy they sold me was not a good value. I will pause before becoming their customer again.

Except mine also is draining battery like crazy now even when I am doing nothing. I have had it for not even two months and it is wifi only, overeahting like hell, and is just a bad overall phone. I had WAY higher expectations, never buying a Samsung phone again.

              This phone is absolutely horrible. I switched to a Samsung after many friends told me how great it is. It was a fantastic phone until it stopped working. I had to reset it everyday... Now I'm certain I will not get another phone from Samsung. With an Apple phone, I never had a ridiculous problem like this.

                  I switched from the I phone to Samsung after seeing such good picture quality in a friends Samsung. I am frequently on the seas fishing or diving and thought the Samsung s6 active would be a good choice.......What a piece of shit it really is. From overheating to short battery lifespan to by no means water proof or water resistant for that matter. I just recently returned from a trip to Exuma Bahamas, on the very second day of this trip my Samsung s6 was shot all because of a small bit of water dropping on the gad damn phone as I exited the water and stood over my phone while drying off. No phone, no pics, no contact for the remainder of the trip. A total piece of shit. Stick to cameras and forget phones.

                    Bald Chewbacca, 03 Aug 2016so the s6 active has had a major issue since the update. j... moreMine is doing the exact same thing. I loved this phone up until this point. AT&T told me the same thing so I contacted Samsung who basically said oh well you are out of warranty. This was my first Samsung phone but the way they treat their customers is why I'm going back to Apple now. It's pretty bad when you buy a $600+ phone and it basically turns into WiFi only just after a year of use. It's also crazy that with all of the Note 7 battery overheating issues Samsung is having, they aren't jumping at fixing or replacing our S6 Actives that are having the same overheating issues.

                      First one died within 4 months for no apparent reason; second one just died after about 3 months. Total. Piece. Of. Crap.

                        The worst phone I have ever had. I have sent it back three times. The speakers are terrible. I get tired of people saying they can't hear me. Samsung gets an "F" for this phone!!!!!

                          It is truly an amazing phone. With my previous devices, I always had problems with the durability of the device. This device is unbelievable. I was on a canoe about two months ago on the ocean, with my phone in my pocket. Then I accidentally flipped the canoe and was throw out in the pacific ocean. My phone was under water for a good 2-3 minutes, but still functions perfectly. Another time, I put my phone on top of my car to find my keys to the car. I forgot about the phone and started driving with the phone on top of the car. When I took a sharp turn, I heard the a loud noise behind the car so I checked my mirror, and my phone was lying in the middle of a major street. I quickly pulled over to go retrieve my phone, but while running towards my phone, I saw multiple cars run over it. I was expecting the phone is be completely destroyed and non-functional. However, when I picked it up, it functioned perfectly fine. Yeah I have some scrapes and little cracks on my screen, but it functions as good as new. If you are a person who is active or puts your phone is harsh situations, this phone is the absolute best phone to go with. I love my phone. I haven't talked about the functionality of the phone, but I will keep it short because this was a long review. It functions flawlessly. Its camera is clear and incredible.

I thought I had brushed up against some chemicals but my jeans showed no signs of anything like that. The next day confirmed it was the phone, as I was further blistered and it became dark and much more than uncomfortable.

                              I got 2 Galaxy S 6 Actives in April and 1 already broke. It fell off a shelf from 4' up and busted, then I sat on it and the phone just folded. Litteraly. Worst phone. Not rugged and not indestructible at all. Both phone batteries are already shot. Battery lasts about 6-7 hours.

                                      I dropped S6 Active many times when I took selfie photos with my friends.

                                      It was dropped on concrete surface from about 1.8 meter but the phone still OK except the corners got denting.
