How is your phone running? If it's running good, why in the world are you worried about a synthetic benchmark?

Bro, I've seen you around a while and believe me, I didn't mean any disrespect. I understand that's low and I guess I would be a little concerned too.
I was just thinking overall that I am more concerned about how my phone is actually running. But I see your point about the low score. I really don't know what could be causing it but good luck bro!

I wasnt trying to b disrespectful either bro. And ya I remember u too. It just sucks paying top dollar for a phone, then seeing less scores than the phones that are 6 months older with the snapdragon 600!! I'm pretty pist about it.
And what makes it worse is seeing another user with the exact same phone scoring 23000!

Yeah, I hear ya bro. I initially was very happy with this phone and I mostly still am. But little things are starting to wear on me and I've been having thoughts of jumping ship.
The community for this phone is surprisingly the least active of any phone that I've ever owned. It's kind of a downer. I understand the whole locked bootloader thing, but it seems like interest is low in this phone but I'm not sure why other than the locked bootloader.
Another reason is the wifi issues. I frequently get the unstable connection message and lately my wifi performance has been terrible. I can't even watch a YouTube video without it constantly buffering.
And it seems like there is no fix in sight from Samsung. Not sure when or if there will ever be a fix.
I got in on that $150 promo code for the Moto X and I'm heavily considering getting one as an extra phone worst case scenario. But if I somehow like it, I might dump this phone and make a little profit in the process. Not sure yet.

I'm not having any issues with WiFi? I.m currently using a Belkin router on 2.4 and 5.0 GHz. You don't have a metal case on do you? Or anything near your router that could be interfering?
I personally wouldn't get rid of your phone either ...You have to remember this phone is still newer, Wait till after Christmas and watch how many more at&t note 3 users come...Development is still young I've seen this stage in almost all my experiences with prior phones. Soon as we get the boot-loader fix,,,Watch how many roms, And ported material fly this way.

Ya mj5. I think it's totally up to u. Mine auto updated, so I didn't have a choice. I wish it would have fixed the power button lag, and I wish they would have left the keyboard white. But ya we have a way to get roms on mj5 and I'm sure a Odin will b out sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I saw there was another thread in the Gear 2 forums (they should probably combine them!). They said the same thing about it being international or something. I read one post saying they installed it with Odin, not sure if that was true but I will just hold off installing it.

Hi guys, there's a new official BTU firmware available via ota. Change log lists s health improvement plus ui improvement. Will test and report anything extraordinary. Personally I'm hoping the pedometer learns to count steps and the heart rate sensor to stop jumping from 70 to 140 in a few seconds.

Add me to the list of don't care folks.
I'm not really sure what people are expecting; many seem to eagerly anticipate Lollipop like its the next coming of the messiah or something. I just don't get it, in the end one will end up with the same app dependencies and just a little bit of polish is added to an already stellar OS.
From the looks of it Touchwiz won't fully embrace the material design concepts that Google put out in their stock Lollipop releases. I'm not sure how to feel about that; part of me is happy about that because I HATE the way my Nexus 4 looks with stock Lollipop. On the other hand, I have a feeling that in the months to come our devices will be a hodge podge mix of various applications each adopting the material design look at its own pace. A half-adopted change in touchwiz will just compound things . . I'm not looking forward to that . . .
Honestly...who really cares about killjoy lollipop anyways? Don't like the look, don't want it, don't really need it! The white and colorful backgrounds are to bright and suck battery...Why can't Google just input an option to have a light or dark ui system wide? So many people would appreciate that and be a lot happier....maybe so many could live without root then. I'm stuck unrooted till someone accomplishes it for us on Verizon and I wish I knew programming cause is love to claim that bounty...But I barely even know how top use an actual computer though I'm great with my beast of a note4...though I still sometimes regret the upgrade. My note 3 had root, custom Rom, and was able to do what I like with it system wide. Now I'm at the mercy of Verizon intent and the ads most of all are what about me most, plus the bloat I'd love to remove... thanks **rant over...screw lollipop till I'm able to flash it myself and pick what's running on my device, and have the blacked out inverted system I want and the apps I want

So I'm not understanding something why does the S6 and S6E have root and roms but S6A doesn't?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk
Perhaps because the S6 active just came out. Ping pong root doesn't work on kernels after May 15th (from memory). Give it time, they'll get it.
AoN
It also might be because the active version isn't as common and developers need to get their hands on it and their images to work on it.

Nevermind, I don't think any of these are legit.
Its a fake site, so they can make ad revenue. Cf-auto-root is currently not available for active versions of the s6.
---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------
Bottom line, we need to show more activity on the forums to show developers there's enough interest in the active for them to try to do an exploit. Truth is, active is IMHO better than regular s6 just because the battery lasts longer.
I don't even want a custom rom for the active I just want root so I can debloat and use my dualshock 3 to play video games via the bluetooth connection instead of wired

Its funny, active had such a bad reputation that my neighbors just looked at mine and are upset that their battery isn't as big and that they don't have a waterproof design. One of them said it best, I gladly give up fingerprint reader and heart rate sensor to have a bigger battery and a waterproof case. This is especially true living in Florida where it seems there is pool everywhere you look and almost every day has rain!

I don't like that all notifications are combined now. It's very irritating. The phone is also much laggier than before I've noticed. Charges slower. The faulty note 7 was too lazy for a $850 device to begin with, but I hoped they'd fix it. I really don't like the green battery either, but that's not a big deal really.

In my experience it was way less laggy than V1 and fixed most of the issues I had in gaming with poor performance and muddy textures. Plus the fingerprint sensor is really fast now

I updated V1 because I have a V2 on order and had nothing to lose. Since it's the same hardware sans battery, I wanted to see what the update would do.
It was indeed quite laggy until I ran the device maintenance app and rebooted. It seems to be smoother now than before. I do, however, prefer the previous notification pull down.
Has anyone noticed a change in their status notifications?
On my original Note 7 notifications were not "grouped" if I had multiples from the same app (Facebook). Now I have to tap on the group to get them to expand.
I have noticed similar behavior for SMS messages. I no longer get a message preview and I do not have the option to reply from status bar..
I agree!

I received my replacement last night and there is definitely a lag, but nothing like the POS HTC Desire they gave me as a loaner and after charging on the wireless charger all night, it was only at 76%. I also cannot for the life of me find where I can change the alarm ringtone now (the settings does not have that option any longer) which is I why I came here. I did notice some interesting additions though.

I also cannot for the life of me find where I can change the alarm ringtone now (the settings does not have that option any longer) which is I why I came here. I did notice some interesting additions though.

If you go to the Clock App then select the Alarm tab. Select the Alarm entry you would like to modify (or create a new one). To change the ringtone select the Sound and Volume.

In my experience it was way less laggy than V1 and fixed most of the issues I had in gaming with poor performance and muddy textures. Plus the fingerprint sensor is really fast now

The fingerprint scanner on my old note 7 was fast. I don't know what everyone is talking about. My replacement was fine until I was forced to update.

Just a heads up. I still don't like the new notifications but the phone has seemed to speed up. The only issue I have right now is my battery life is mediocre. I'm trying to figure that out today.

The iris scanner is super fast now compared to pre update.

I haven't even tried it once since having a note 7. Useless feature that adds $ on to the tag.

It's certainly not essential, but it can be handy if you are wearing gloves or something.

That's what they said about the unlock with your face nonsense a few years back too.

I really doubt this iris scanner is gonna make it to the next note.....people are not crazy about it ...i for one don't use it, I wear glasses most times, I'm not gonna do the trial and error thing with it or take my glasses off....fingerprint is perfect for me.

Yes, and that was also pretty handy. I used it all the time, especially if my hands were full, wet, gloved, etc.

I'd rather use the pen in extreme cases. It's just a gimmick to add $ to the price.

I probably wouldn't miss it if it were gone, but it is useful enough that I won't complain about it being there.

If one or both hands are full and you can't touch the screen or fingerprint scanner, how is taking the pen out and using that easier than simply looking at the phone with your face?
