Bought pearl white from samsung café, luckily no scratches at all...But sot is sucking :(

Hw's ur geekbench score?
[Galaxy S6 General] lycan_codex:
I initially had a gold 64 GB Gold one...couldn't live with it as i use the phone most of the time under the lights and it reflects like crazy! Got fed up and on impulse, went to a store, sold that and bought a 32 GB White one..I can finally die in peace!
[Galaxy S6 General] Funkym0nkey:
I was in the same boat until I saw S6 edge in person at reliance store. The hint of green bars at the edges would have driven me mad. So settled for regular S6.

So make sure you check out the edge in person before buying it to make sure you can ignore or tolerate it.

Mine is also Vietnam unit and it is flawless.

Guys, Samsung has bundled Clean Master cache cleaning functionality in new TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:

SOT..might not be the best indicator. .anyways how's the situation after the recent update. .
[Galaxy S6 General] Mr.Raviteja:

3-4 hrs sot after update. Before that it barely touched 2½ hrs. I did a factory reset and data wipe through recovery after update.
[Galaxy S6 General] 50103:
Guys,please help me with the below queries...

1)Did anyone upgrade from S4 to S6.How much did u sell your S4 for?.(Flipkart offers 10K.)

2)How are the earphones bundled with the phone?

3)Are they still still bundling white accessories with black handsets?

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Am a clasher too.How long can you play clash of clans on a single charge?Please attach a screenshot if possible..and does it get warm ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] badelemental:
Yes all the accessories are white. Bundled earphone is quite good but not like premium earphones though (like V-Moda or Bose). Also you can expect 3+ hrs of screen on time. COC won't take much battery but the screen takes the major part. But it charges quickly so at around 3 PM I give it a charging of 30 mins and it easily pulls me through the day.

And if you play COC you will notice the speed difference (i am coming from Note 4) and this thing is damm fast ... I mean the load times and game graphics is just amazing. Well I cant put these in words ... you will have to try to get the feeling.

His guys,

Got the Samsung S6 64 GB . I Was wondering how long would it take for the Samsung points to show up in my rewards app ? It's been 4 days now since I got the phone and 2 days since I installed the Samsung My rewards app and got the account created for payback.

Damn. I was just planning to root my S6 tonight. Now I think, I might wait it out. :confused:

As per the leaks, S6 will get Marshmallow in Jan'16 :p

galaxy s6 display and metal frame issue

When I press the display near the volume rocker it gets pressed is this an issue with everyone ?
[Galaxy S6 General] devvfata1ity:
is anyone having issues with the auto brightness? I got my s6 a couple of days back and have noticed that although the brightness ramps up under bright light (as it should), it does not go down when there's low light/no light. The brightness lowers automatically if the phone is lying flat on its back or if I switch off & then switch on the display. The light sensor is working fine. Have tested it using samsung factory mode & cpuz
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
Ya, having the same issue.
[Galaxy S6 General] devvfata1ity:
damn..samsung should have fixed this auto brightness bug by now.. very annoying
[Galaxy S6 General] sikandersawhney:

Hello All,

Which tempered glass protector should I go for?

Bcz I have tried one inBase brand. Tried applying in 2 to 3 shops, but none of them fitted the screen correctly, I mean edges were lifting up on all sides.. Pls suggest one which fits correctly..
[Galaxy S6 General] anoopsa:
I am using nilkin , edges are not covered ,then when you put the phone in a case which has some lip this is an advantage
[Galaxy S6 General] swapy12:
I am using Uth premium tempered glass. Worth giving a try.
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
Is anyone having an issue with the camera? Like when you open the camera app, the sensor vibrates and struggles to focus for a few seconds? This happens randomly and creates wave patterns on screen along with a buzzing noise.
[Galaxy S6 General] vardaan75:
Yes. It Happens sometimes
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
Yes.. happens randomly sometimes. More so while fiddling with manual focus in pro mode.
[Galaxy S6 General] kiran.savadatti:
that's an issue with the camera module. i got mine replaced under warranty. the old one was different and this is an upgraded version as per the service person. now works smoothly every single time.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
even i felt this. is this because of the latest update?

i will go to the service center and get it checked.
[Galaxy S6 General] kiran.savadatti:
it's got nothing to do with the software update. the hardware revision changed and that fixed the issue. they tried 2-3 stock firmwares and ended up with the vibrations. so they changed the camera module itself
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
ok thanks. can you please post the bill so i could tell them it was replaced under warranty ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
Thanks.. i guessed that too! I even took mine to a local service center but was feeling too lazy to leave my phone with them for 2 days just for diagnosis as the issue is random. Maybe I'll give it a try later.

My more serious issue with the s6 however is that it's been losing network connectivity frequently.. making it very difficult for me to talk to anybody. I might as well change the phone itself for another brand!
[Galaxy S6 General] Shamms:
Hi Guys,

I Need a small help, Yesterday I picked SM-920F UAE version of S6 for myself, Can I flsh Indian official version on this and run it without issues?
[Galaxy S6 General] kiran.savadatti:
sorry. I don't have a copy of that bill with me right now. I got it done around 4 months back. all i had is the job sheet but not a bill coz it was under warranty. had i paid, then i would have got a detailed bill of replaced components.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Help needed. This started happening 5 days back. The data speeds have dropped down to abysmal rates. Speed test shows a ping value of nearly 2000 ms and download speeds of 1-2 kbps. The service provider assures me everything is fine. The wifi works fine as well. I haven't had the time to fit the same Sim card in another phone to troubleshoot and verify as I've been running around too much. Anyone have a clue to why this could be happening?
[Galaxy S6 General] Shamms:

Galaxy S6 (GT920I) Not Receiving calls

Hi Guys,

I see some issues in receiving the calls when the phone is idle . The phone was idle from 12AM-8:00PM. My friend tried reaching out to me around 7:30AM & tried 5-6 times and it said Phone is Switched off. I did not receive any notifications(from Airtel). I have a good quality of signal reception of Airtel network at my home. I am on 5.1.1 and on latest update. This is really irritating . Any quick setting for this fix?
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Try starting Odin as administrator. I get this a lot every now and then when flashing stock fw from Odin. Either the administrator mode or a simple restart of the pc does the trick.
[Galaxy S6 General] rufusj89:
Haven't rooted the phone. This suddenly started happening one fine day out of the blue
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
Did the issue come back again after the camera replacement? even i had the issue and had the camera changed. The issue went away but came back roughly after 3 to 4 months. Now, again its at the service center and the service engineer first said its not an issue and common. Heck! he even showed me a demo with another S6 having the issue showing it as a proof. I had to literally fight with them to make them understand. Now Samsung sent a senior technision from samsung itself and he has diagnosed that its not just the camera. The motherboard has some electrical short spikes near the camera which in turn damages the sensor. Now they are changing the board itself.:P
[Galaxy S6 General] kiran.savadatti:
I had them do all firmware changes first and they had the same prob. They did turn of the quick auto focus setting from camera as well. But that didn't help either.

1 week after my first visit to service center with this issue, my phone had a short circuit and my network chip was blown up along with some burning smell near camera as well. so I had to get it to repair. Not sure why that short circuit happened. Samsung original charger used to charge the device, no modifications, no physical damage. But still ended up with this. Had to fight with Samsung care to get this covered under warranty. coz bloody hell it wasn't even 1 month of use and they asked me to shell out 27k to get it all fixed.

There is some serious hardware issue (may be on select few devices that were released first). I was lucky enough that the service center as well pushed this issue with the main samsung backend team to cover it under warranty coz it was no fault of my own for the chip to blow up in the first place.

Camera module changed, Board changed,. Now I have a perfectly smooth running device.

Is anyone experiencing poor call quality?? I mean hissing or crackling in other person's voice??
[Galaxy S6 General] x017in:
Anyone got an update?
[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
I got a pop up.. around 100mb
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
103.40 mb update , seems monthly security update

lets see
[Galaxy S6 General] karanits:
That update is for voice call issue.

Build number DOL5
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:

[Galaxy S6 General] sathishm07:
It feels everything to be a bit smoother after this update. Is it real or just a placebo...
[Galaxy S6 General] sendhiloo7:
I think this very latest build
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
Yes exactly, and its not an issue with any batch in particular since i've seen this issue with phones made just a month back. When i had the issue for the first time, they just changed the camera module and the issue came back. Now this time when i gave the phone for repair, the service center said that its not an issue and they even had another S6 to show as proof :P. I then fought with customer executives and they arranged a samsung chief technician to check out the phone. He concluded that its not an issue with the camera sensor but there was some short circuiting in the board near the camera. (I did not have any bursting but if i had just left it, i would also have got it may be). They now changed the board and the camera as well. This explains why you havn't got the issue back, you have got your mobo changed too and hence you did not get this back. Some people i knew have got this again even after changing the camera.

hey everyone . my phone g920i . new india version G920IDVU3DOL5 installed but twrp or philz touch recovery not working . why ?
[Galaxy S6 General] ddlchagas:
Same here g925i. TRWP, Philz and root kernel...nothing worked

Edit: I'm not a expert, but another colleague (in another community) said that this version have not support to TWRP e Custom Kernels yet.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
Guys.. As my network connectivity issue wasn't solved even after the latest update, i took my s6 (64gb) to a local service center (as a last resort before moving on to any other phone/brand). They will be replacing the motherboard along with camera module. I hope it fixes my voice call drop issue along with random camera vibration issue coz i like everything else about this phone!
[Galaxy S6 General] swapnil_812003:
My files stopped working

After latest security patch update my files stopped working while copying files through OTG. is anyone experiencing the same?
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
Got my s6 back from repairs. As promised they replaced the motherboard and the camera module. I haven't faced any signal/ call drop yet (even at my home where there used to be frequent call drops earlier)! Also the random camera vibration issue hasn't resurfaced till now! It's too soon to comment upon whether or not these issues have been solved and will require some more time with my S6, but its all going well as of now.

As a side note, now my S6 (64GB) has sony IMX240 sensor (replaced for the previous isocell one). And frankly (apart from minor differences discussed here), I don't see any perceptible difference between the two on my s6 screen, both being equally awesome for a smartphone camera!
[Galaxy S6 General] sendhiloo7:
They are checking Knox for warrenty ??
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
Yes, I'm pretty sure they are.

Btw.. I had just one instance of dropped call as yet since i received my S6 from service yesterday! Totally manageable imo if thats how its going to be given the poor network coverage at my home.

P.S. - I did notice there is appreciable difference in the white balance between the sony and isocell sensors (especially at night with n without flash).
[Galaxy S6 General] ayush_01:
I don't remember what firmware I was on but I have rooted my g925i using unikernel and then flashed twrp using flashify. I'm currently running the capsule Rom with arter kernel. You can try doing it unless you don't want to trip your Knox Counter.
[Galaxy S6 General] vikram66778:
Can v root g920i without tripping knox:confused:
[Galaxy S6 General] ayush_01:
I don't think you can root without tripping Knox.I haven't searched about rooting without tripping Knox coz I don't really care about Knox. You can search the forums. I'll update here if I find anything.
[Galaxy S6 General] twisted_mind:
Does root not work on the latest indian fw DOL5? Unikernel V2 doesn't atleast....

Hi guys, its been 7 months since i had S6. Now, there are small dust particles inside the rear camera, on the lens. You can't see it normally, but under bright light or direct sunlight it is visible! Anyone of you have noticed this? I thought the build is supposed to be air tight! :@
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Using since 4 months , so far so good , nothing wrong with my s6 at all.

It may be defective or i thing its happened after 7 months so may be something wrong happened with your s6 that cause this problem.

Hi guys, i got s6 sm g920i i accidentally deleted some files on init.d folder. After restart it failed to boot i flashed DOL5 firmware after i tried to flash unibase and unikernel to root but i get bootloop. Can someone help please iam missing my root.
[Galaxy S6 General] pandeyashwin:
Download and flash the DOK9 then flash unikernel/a twrp as you like

The second one on this list is DOK9 (insert .com after sammobile)
[Galaxy S6 General] andifds:
Same here! I got my sgs6 on last april and few months later the camera lens got really dirty. There are dust and particles big enough to be seen as is. The problem is that this particles affect the focus on camera.

The last weeks I've been thinking in buy the rear cover adhesive to open and clean the lens but haven't find a good option yet on ebay
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
Well, does it affect your photos? With a dark spot? Or do you just have some issues with focusing. Can you post some pictures of the dust? Thanks!

Hi guys,

I saw another thread stating samsung rolling out official 6.0.1 OTA

anyone here received it?
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Still not even received security update of January month !

Can you link that thread please :rolleyes:

EDIT : Found thread , seems he is the only person who got update :P

For India it is too far i think , no one other got any OTA about MM.

In fact samsung rolling out January patch so i think it will not that much close :/
[Galaxy S6 General] sendhiloo7:
we will not get anything soon. that release for G920F. [emoji20]
[Galaxy S6 General] kalpesh6331:
I guess may be mid Feb :confused:

I guess not in feb , it will take some more time. May be with the release of s7 in march or later .
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
i am getting very angry at this phone.

i play some songs via bluetooth on my car and the phone lags.

no battery backup even at 30% display brightness.

the camera shakes as soon as i open it.

today phone went to 1% battery and it charged just 6-8% in 25 minutes.
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
Well same here! The camera is irritating! even after replacing the modules twice, it still shakes randomly and it gets worse with time. I guess there is an issue with the sensor itself in design. And the songs via bluetooth issue, its not common but i have encountered it once in stock car audio system of some cars. It works well with alpine, ford and JVC as far as i have noticed.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
its 30th but still no security update of january !!

Anybody who got security update of january?
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
i will factory reset the phone and will see what all problems remain.

car has factory fitted system (hyundai) so don't know the make.

another issue - the cable end gets really hot while charging the phone.

even the otg pendrive i connect gets really hot within 2 minutes of usage.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dpk1:
The camera vibration is said to be resolved only after camera module + motherboard change. Only camera module replacement won't help. It has been discussed here a while back. I had the same issue along with random call drops / poor signal issue on my S6. After sending my S6 for repairs thrice, camera issue was sorted out but network issue became bad to worse. Battery backup had also gotten worse over time (4hrs screen on time initially to barely 2hrs sot recently)! I had no choice but to get rid of the phone itself, and so i did.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge receiving Marshmallow 6.0.1 update in South Korea

Hope India will get it very soon :)
[Galaxy S6 General] ultraquantum:
Well, The cable end does get hot while charging and thats not an issue. It is because of fast charging and there is nothing to be worried about that.

For the audio issue, try with any other car audio system and check whether the issue persists and if it does, there is indeed an issue present.

For the camera issue, Like Dpk1 has mentioned, it is very irritating with the camera, i already changed it twice and it went away after getting even the motherboard replaced. But, after exactly 2 months, it has started but very very rare (not as bad as it used to be). So, if the issue happens so often that it affects taking pictures when you want to, give it for repair and insist on getting even the motherboard replaced. Else, you will just have to make do with it. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] andifds:
Wow, we are in february and the last known update (G920IDVU3DOL5) is from 18 december. So, Samsung forgot that they made the G920I version? Anyone got something new about upcoming updates to our device? I believe that this will be my last samsung device considering the version fragmentation they have and the poor update policy for devices outside EU and USA.
[Galaxy S6 General] amitbhatt89:
Agree with you :(
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Went today to the center and asked them to change the camera module and the battery. They did it under 1 hour. Asked them to show me the parts ( have uploaded images) now only i saw the time stamp on the camera module. Don't know if that is the part arrival date in their center or what. And can anyone confirm if the battery in the image is galaxy s6's or not.
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
I guess they did change the battery. But i also did a factory reset. Will monitor the battery closely this week.
[Galaxy S6 General] sha_tan:
They replaced the battery for free? What did you tell them? Just that the battery wasn't holding up much? I also seem to have battery issues. Can barely get my battery to last 10-12 hours with light-to-moderate usage (less than 2hrs SOT, and FB, Gmail and whatsapp being the only syncing apps).
[Galaxy S6 General] slimshaddy.:
Yes i told them about these issues and said they will check. My phone is under warranty so they changed it for free without any questions.

When i went back to collect the phone he said there was some resistivity problem with the battery. Well he was stutering to say the correct word so couldn't understand.

I too got around 2 hours of sot before. Will update with more ss.
