    My icons are gone too. Not doing a factory reset, why should I for their mistake. Samsung has to fix this as its a worldwide problem. No update or anything, just vanished.

    Boring question which has probably been answered before, but I am an iPhone 5 user, have many of you moved from iPhone to Samsung and I know it's a very subjective question but is it worth it? I should say I am very tempted to make the move.

    Thanks in advance.

    Just made the move from a 4s to a s6 myself last week.

    First thing is there's multiple apps installed for email and photo viewing etc from the start so you kind of need to spend some time at the beginning picking and choosing which is best for what.

    The screen is amazing, but say goodbye to the kind of one-handed use that you can do with the smaller iPhone.

    In terms of functionality and speed the s6 blows the iPhone out of the water. If you're in any way technologically inclined you won't regret getting an s6.

    It's an awesome piece of kit (I'm finding out new things it can do all the time) and I'm very happy with the switch so far.

    Thanks to slippin jimmy and animal rights for confirming that the battery isn't actually that bad I ended up getting one of these phones.

    Very impressed with it so far and battery is good enough. Fast charge is amazing when compared to the bog standards chargers.

    One thing to watch out for is a flaw in the keyboard security. It's patched but may not be pushed to all phones because of carrier delays/testing.
    It's hard to know if you've been patched or not yet until more details emerge.

    I'm guessing sim free unbranded should be OK but I'm not certain.

    Is the Samsung S6 from Three sim unlocked? If not, does anyone know a cheap (but reliable) place online to get it unlocked?

    I don't think that this is possible. I've been searching for a way to do this myself and have come up empty.

    Had to send mine back for a repair as it stopped fast charging and took over 6 hours to charge normally.

    Was sent locked to Three, same phone came back with Three branding but Unlocked. They replaced a few parts and upgraded software.

    It costs €780 from the Samsung site. I'm supposed to be saving but I'm tempted, damn you.

    Anyone having an issue with spotify? Anytime I use spotify it causes my wifi to disconnect and reconnect every 30 seconds or so. It only happens when I use spotify. No issue with allcast or YouTube etc....

    Thanks for the heads up. Got the last one in Limerick. Was going to get an Exynos Note 4 but this was a better deal and it has wolfson dac too.

    Yup, snap, these guys came good for me too.. They were the third unlocking site I had tried. The other 2 were cheaper, but they couldn't unlock it for some strange reason.

    Still no sign of update 5.1.1 on sim free phone. Apparently it doesn't resolve RAM problems.

    I did get a small security update recently but it didn't say what for. Probably a fix for the keyboard vulnerability.

    Material theme was released in theme store today. Haven't tried it as I haven't set up a Samsung account yet to download.
