Samsung Galaxy S6/ S6 Edge
Why is AT&T removing features that the developers have intentionally installed on these devices (S6/ S6 Edge)?
AT&T has removed the Download Booster feature that simultaneously uses Wi-Fi and LTE data to deliver faster speeds; the Simple Sharing feature that lets you more easily share large files with friends; Microsoft’s OneDrive application, which came with 100GB of free cloud storage; and the Smart Manager app that Samsung designed to make managing battery use and storage on your device easier.
I would rather go pay the extra money for an unlocked phone in order to keep these items and cut out the AT&T bloatware that I will never use. Yes, I can go download the Microsoft Apps from the Play Store, but the Smart Manager cannot be downloaded, nor can the Download Booster and Simple Sharing feature.

[Per Guidelines: Keep it Relevant and Appropriate].
Basically the reason for it is, AT&T is greedy and they don't care about the product they sell to the people.

I just got the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge yesterday an it was working wonderful, then when i reach home and i left it on my bed. I pick up the phone and press the power button and it didn't wanted to turn on. I plug it next to the charger and it isn't giving a charge. Please help me with this situation.

Your battery is probably defective. If you have a record of the date you purchased the phone, I would go back to the place you bought it and ask them to check it out. You might be able to get a new phone at no charge.
I almost said get a new battery, but I remembered it inst removable anymore.

even if the battery was bad adding power to the phone would show something. Just return it an get another.
