The digital passwords aspect is not accurate. We had this rolled out, and I can still use my fingerprint. Calendar though is a pain. For a short while, the Samsung Email app worked with the corporate email outside of the Company Portal space, but it has now stopped working. This is very frustrating.

Both the Wifi, and cell signals are weaker than the Nexus 6P and the Samsung S7 Edge by a fair margin. With the Wifi, this is most notable when you're on a level of a house other than the level of the router. The Wifi cuts out periodically, and its signal strength is about 1/3rd of the other two...

At what stage do you do this migrate step? Is it after the whole process is done? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for this great work. FYI, when I did this, I couldn't get Google Music to download to the SD card. I guess it downloads to internal storage first, and when the SD card is not adopted storage, Google Music sees that it's there. But when it is adopted storage, it doesn't - which I...

Denny, are you aware that the font size can be changed? Just go to settings and search for font. The TomTom app I can't speak to, but I'm not sure what's wrong with Google Maps and Waze that you would need that app. In all likelihood it doesn't work because TomTom has not updated it for Android...

That sounds like you're spot on. Google maps uses a combo of wifi and GPS for positioning. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

This is the first time I've seen someone only have this issue with Waze and not Google Maps. May be a different issue. Someone posted some workarounds a couple of pages back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

I think only one person in this thread has sent his back, and that fixed it. This is where having a spare phone like a One Plus X can be useful, whether it's because of this or a phone breaking. But of course even the low end phones are not free. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

You're having this issue with the Edge Plus? That's the first one I've heard of with the Plus. Very frustrating. Mine does not have this issue.

I wouldn't call you an idiot. The Edge+ is a better phone. The 4GB ram makes lag a thing of the past, the screen is even more beautiful, and the screen size is very nice considering the size of the phone (smaller than the iPhone 6 Plus yet larger sceen). The only down side is no 120GB storage...

It makes sense that it's not a universal problem. If it was, it would have been picked up by reviewers. I've read or watched many reviews from Android Central, Phandroid, Android Authority and others, and not one of them mentioned GPS as an issue even after months of use. So I think you're...

And for the record, I don't think it's childish. If GPS is important to you, and it is the many people, it's simply unacceptable that they shipped so many units of their primary phone with this being broken. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

I tried out the iPhone 6 plus S at the store yesterday. If you're going to switch, switch to the S. The 3D touch thing will make your life a lot easier. Also, to get past some of the limitations, I recommend installing S-Launcher app. It will add quick shortcuts (not on/off switches) to the...

Completely agree with you.

The problem is that most of their devices are so damn good. I'm equally upset with the GPS issue. But when I got back to Android after a brief work based hiatus to the iPhone, I looked for the best phone on the market camera and screen wise, power wise etc., and found myself right back to the S6...

Hi SanoJA: So just to make sure I understood you, you're suggesting that if you have a protective case on the phone, that could be what is interfering with it if it is made of aluminum? I had a plastic case, the official Samsung wallet cover and still had this issue when I had the regular S6...

I tend to agree with you since I had this issue with both the Note 4 and the S6 edge. I can confirm that the S6 Edge+ does not have this problem. At least mine doesn't and I haven't seen any complaints about this in S6 Edge+ forums. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

tucker61: Is that a regular s6 Edge or the S6 Edge+? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

Hi folavo: I agree with you. It is extremely strange that something so major could have been missed. If you look at 3 months later type reviews on youtube, you'll find no one even mentions this as a problem. The reality must be something like this impacts some portion, but not all of the...

I've seen this often enough arty this point to suggest that you should try to return your unit of you're within your return period, and either get an edge plus, or try another unit and hole it works. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

Could be. But it also could be the larger distance between the GPS and other antennas. Would an S6 edge+ ROM work on a regular Edge? By the way, it is too early to say for sure, but so far I'm seeing the 4GB ram get rid of all lag related to Touchwiz. I didn't have much of that on the regular...

Yes. I'll get you some screenshots later if I can. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

Works perfectly. No problems whatsoever and accuracy is great. I guess whatever the issue was in the regular s6 edge, it did not translate to the edge+. Loving this phone. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

Thanks tveith. I returned my iPhone 6 plus and got a 64GB black s6 edge +. So far so good. Will be using navigation tomorrow. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk

Thanks. I've been given the green light to switch back from her iPhone to an Android phone if I want to do so at my own cost. Since right now I'm on my own iPhone 6 plus and still within the exchange and return period, I'm now considering the Edge+. Coming from someone who used to absolutely...

Thanks. I appreciate it. Telus is about as close as it gets LTE band wise to AT&T, although they do put less bloatware on than AT&T. If the GPS works on that, it should work on AT&T hopefully.

Thanks a lot tveith. May I ask what network you're on, or more specifically if you happen to be in att Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If anyone on this thread gets an Edge+, I'd love to hear whether it also has this GPS issue or not. Thanks

I recently started a new job and they got me an iPhone 6. So I'm using that now and have sold my S6 Edge yesterday. I have to admit that the iPhone's navigation is perfect and much better than mine was on the edge. However, I suspect that this is a problem that is relatively isolated. Granted...

Tommy, I hear you. For you, because you use this for walking, running, etc. This is an issue. But for driving, turning WiFi off has resolved this for me. The accuracy is indeed 6 to 12 meters, but that is good enough for driving. For walking I haven't had problems either. I don't use it for...

Just turning off WiFi has fixed this for me completely. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

This gels very well with what I found, but it's easier to do than my suggestion. What I found was that in Settings, searching for location and then changing it to use just GPS instead of GPS, WiFi, and LTE, fixed the navigation for the most part. I will try your suggestion tomorrow. It's likely...

I don't know how broad the problem was, but Samsung was unable to fix it in mine. It did improve a bit with 5.0.1 over Kitkat, but still sucked.

I had similar issues with my Note 4 from AT&T. I think Samsung has a larger problem here than they'll admit. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Ironically, I initially thought my European variant wasn't great in this department because it's no an AT&T variant. Just to be clear, the recording above was after changing location settings to GPS only. When I had these with GPS, WiFi and LTE, which is supposed to have the best accuracy, Waze...

Here's a longer video while driving. You can see that Waze does not lose signal at all. https://youtu.be/T33haRNS54Y Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

Hi TommyBeretta: I walked outside for a minute and recorded using a screen capture app (the free version of this app limits me to 1 min recording). I've posted the video on YouTube here. I don't know how to read this well, but to me, 26 feet is as good as I got, and sounds pretty bad. I would...

Hi Tommy: I haven't tried it for anything but driving yet, but will try some walking later today to see what happens. As you can imagine, it won't be easy for me to record video of the navigation while driving, but I'll ask my wife to record it this weekend and post something. I suspect that...

Hi Folks: If you're using the 925F, but on AT&T or other US carrier, do you get updates normally OTA? When I purchased my 925F, I was in the Netherlands using an AT&T Sim, and it updated to 5.1.1 that day. I believe there was an update for the 925F today, and I know these take a while to...

Sorry Ranphi, I didn't notice your question earlier. I did use the speedtest app to check lte speeds. I generally get around 39Mbps down, and about 12Mbps up. More than quick enough. I'm loving this phone at the moment, and happy I held on to it. Cheers t1328

Not for me. Sorry that's happening in your case. In mine it's spot on. I also purposely tried to not turn when told to, and it course corrected immediately. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk

I can now confirm with 100% certainty that changing location to GPS only resolves this issue completely. The only down side is that if you need location services for Google Now and other apps, when you're done driving, you have to change location settings back to using all 3, gps, WiFi and lte.

Oddly enough, the thing that at least so far has resolved this for me is changing the location settings to use only GPS, supposedly the least accurate positioning system. My theory on this is that our LTE/HSPA signal is weaker, and that including that in GPS may be giving false info to the...

So I've been successfully running 925F on AT&T. I'm getting LTE, not as quick as on my Nexus, but more than quick enough. I find that the number if bars shown is low, but when I check the signal, it's good, and I haven't had any dropped calls for the week I've been using it including one call...

Same here. Did you ever figure out how to resolve the poor reception and slow data with the 925F on AT&T? Theoretically it supports all the right GSM and LTE bands, and I have the same APN settings as those set up in an AT&T version.

I have been trying to find the right phone for me. My primary phone is a Nexus 6, and I love everything about it except the camera. I tried the LG G4, and surprisingly found the camera is not great in auto mode. It's awesome in manual mode, but usually with taking photos of my kids, I don't...

What do you do prior to running the benchmark? Your numbers are far higher than average.

True, one thing I forgot to mention is that I turned off auto update on Google Play Services so that it is not updated.

For those still having the Google Play Services error, I took Zephik's advice and downgraded mine to 7.3.x and that has completely resolved my issues in that area. 05/21 rom now working flawlessly. I used the instructions found here to do this...
