[Bugs] Galaxy S6 early adopters thread!

I did a quick search and didn't see anything like this posted, so I thought I'd provide some feedback as to some of the early bugs/quirks I'm noticing with this device.Let me preface by saying that coming from a Nexus 5, I absolutely LOVE this S6. Mainly because of the camera. My Nexus 5 wasn't slow by any means, but the camera was pretty crappy IMO. The Nexus 6 wasn't much better, so I skipped it. Anyway, yeah, the S6 is a beast of a phone. Still has a ton of bloat that can't be uninstalled (I got the 64gb T-Mobile variant), but the majority of it can be "disabled". Disabling doesn't delete it from your phone, but it at least keeps it from being annoying and overbearing.So anyway, here are the things I have noticed so far.Playing Snaps in Snapchat doesn't work 50% of the time, particularly when there's multiple snaps. Instead of playing through the 10s video clip or image, it'll bounce/stutter through the playback, it's very annoying.Google Keyboard (my kb of choice) is significantly laggier compared to my Nexus 5. It wasn't never an uber performance keyboard to begin with (if you type too fast you'll find it to lag at times), but this is a little worse on the Galaxy S6 for some reason. Samsung keyboard works a lot better.Google Hangouts really messes up your shared images like 90% of the time. If I "take picture" or "share picture" through Hangouts, the pictures look like they're from a potato. Very low quality/resolution images. Also, the orientation gets screwed up. Everybody in the Hangouts sees a screwed up image. Doesn't matter if they are viewing it through the mobile app or through the desktop (browser) app, the images look like shit. Here's an example of what they look like in the chat (http://imgur.com/8bJFubN), and when I open up the image with QuickPic or any other gallery (http://imgur.com/iPuyixz). The really strange part about this bug is that sometimes the images fix themselves after a random amount of time. I may check back and the images look normal when I press on them. But it's wildly inconsistent. This bug is especially infuriating because I like to quickly share pictures with my girlfriend of our children using Hangouts since MMS samples them down too much.I hope this information is helpful to some!Please feel free to share any bugs you may have found using your Galaxy S6 :) via
