It is not more than a month, since Samsung releasing its latest flagship handsets, Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, yet the early adopters complaint about the issues with these new flagships. Both the devices share poor battery issue and WI-Fi connectivity issues.

Not to be scared. Although, the issues seem to be unmanageable, some nerdy users have solved the troubles. To start with, let us understand the battery life problem. Since, Galaxy S6a and S6 Edge are developed with non-removable batteries, resolving the issues may not be easier as the removable batteries. The users complaint that more than half the battery life is drained within 6 hours, leaving a plain display on the screen.

How to manage poor battery power issue?

· By restarting the phone

· By adopting to the Battery Saver mode in the settings

· By closing the apps and programs that drain off the battery charge

· By moving to the factory resetting, when the other options do not work. However, factory reset requires complete backup of data, before resetting.

· To keep the users cool, Samsung battery life covers one year warranty and the users can go for free replacement, if the charge drops less than 80%.

Meagre Wi-Fi connectivity is definitely frustrating among Samsung S6 and S6 Edge users, as some of them experience such issues even with a solid signal. Slow loading; poor downloading of images/videos of social media apps tend to be the major complain and they can be combated.

Screen rotation:

Both the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge users are assailed by this problem and in this issue, the device gets stuck in its portrait mode, although the auto-rotation setting has been turned on. Sprint and Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge Smartphone users are likely to report such problem.
