Edge has been flawless

Just wanted to let prospective buyers know that my Edge has been working flawless. Setting email, downloading apps and you name it. No issues. Best phone I ever had, period.
 
Everything anyone else uses their phone for I would imagine. Pictures, FB, messaging , calls, emailing etc. the Edge has been seamless when using FB. For example, as soon as I update a status on either my FB desktop of Edge it immediately shows on either device. Chat messages work the same. Icon shows up on the edge with whoever I'm cutting with. The synching has been terrific. As soon as I do something on my desktop for example, receiving/ deleting emails, it instantly shows on my Edge. I think I picked the best phone, for once!
 
Hows your wifi connectivity? and are you able to play mp3's you have loaded onto the phone? Have you tried fast charging it yet?
 
I got mine yesterday and it too, has been flawless so far. I used Smart Switch to get stuff off the Note II I have been using and I have to say that is the slickest deal when switching phones.

Zero issues with Wifi connectivity. I got the Samsung wireless docking station and that too works great. Just downloaded nearly 350 songs with no problem. Some of the songs were in MP4 format and before downloading, the phone asked if I wanted to convert them into MP3 and I did so it converted them automatically.
 
I can confirm that S6 Edge is the most beautiful and best phone I ever had. I had before S2,3,4,5 but none of them compare with the S6. The batery life is much much better than I expected: on low usage I had 47 hours batery life with 2 hours SOT. On heavy usage I had 24 hours batery life with 5.30 hours SOT. I don't use power saving mode and I have wifi, location always on and 3 email accounts that sync every 15 min. I attach some screen shots.

Interesting a lot of people are reporting average battery life and not being able to get a day out of it, with medium to heavy usage.
 
From what I read until now only the users from TMobile have issues with battery life because of their wifi calling and weak lte signal.
 
I have had the phone for a week and I feel I must disclose I was a long term iphone user, but this phone made switching appealling. I enjoy it but the screen rotation is ****ed and not responsive, settings that are easy to find and set on the iphone are harder to find on the s6 edge (had to Google a lot of them), and all around not being able to skip songs while on the lock screen is frustrating. The things I like about this phone are not enough to convert me I'm actually repairing my old cracked iphone 5 and switching back!

UNRESPONSIVE SCREEN ROTATION WAS MY BREAKING POINT

My Wifi is quite poor but aside from that the smartphone is quite good. Wifi is definitely on the poor side though. If you are in a hotel room and the Router is in the hallway you will not be getting connected often. I get 1 bar of Wifi once I leave my bedroom and head to the living room while Macbook Pro still has full bars.

I also noticed that they LTE is bit on the weak side a well. Was not so sure at first but then I took out the sim card where I found reception to be a bit on the weak side where I normally have stronger reception and put sim card in my iPhone 6 and got 1-2 bars more of reception using 4G LTE.

I've been able to change music from the lock screen, what app are you using?
