So the one thing that really annoys me is the new usb c connection. I have the old type in my car, at work, and 3 at home, all now useless for this phone.
I like the shiny back but know its gonna get scratched so bought a soft clear plastic cover, fits perfectly and works all ok. Good grip as well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252125360403?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The battery certainly is better than the Note 3, and I have my screen on full brightness all the time (why wouldn't you!?), and it has lasted over a day.
Don't know how to get pictures and music onto it, as when connected to a pc it wont let me open the files to drag and drop. Doing something wrong here??
Otherwise, so far so good. Getting used to the extra tallness over the Note 3, and the sound is definitely better thanks to the two front speakers.

I may be able to help with the drag and drop part.

On marshmallow after you plug in your device to the PC go into your notification bar and tap the "Use USB for..." message. Make sure to change it from "charging only" to transfer files.

If that doesnt work i should have mine in a few hours to help troubleshoot more

Nope, cant do it. No sign of 'use usb for...' so stuck. I've seen another forum post where the guy had to install new drivers, but I didn't understand that and surely not?
