[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
the reason why apple is able to sell overpriced electronic is due to loyal consumers. the same people that buy their overpriced computers. that is why they are still in business.. samsung doesn't have that kind of loyal base, so their prices isn't going to work, at least long term.

before, people could say:

"hmm, i can buy a samsung phone and save a few hundred over iphone"

now they might say say:

"hmm, i can buy a $700 samsung or for the same money i can spend it on an iphone"

the average consumer doesn't care the samsung is more powerful device. many people buy things solely based on brand name, and lets face it, the apple brand is just more appealing to the average joe..

Edge is too expensive
[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
I'm torn on this personally.

Everyone has their own definition of too expensive, of course.

For me, if it is $100 usd I may spring for the edge. If it is $150 usd more, I may not.

I like the look and styling of the edge more, but that is only worth a limited amount to me. Apparently somewhere between $100 and $150. Lol
[Galaxy S6 General] Poetique:
I think for those that upgrade their device every year the Edge's price is really going to rub them the wrong way.

Personally, I don't intend to upgrade any often than every 2 years, and don't mind sitting on a device for 3. Furthermore, I like to keep my devices around after retiring them. Because of that, I'm not so against dropping the coin for the 128GB Edge. Frankly, if my Evita hadn't begun to hit the point of "just can't do it" when it comes to multitasking, random reboots, and battery issues I'd honestly probably sit on it another year.

My real dilemma is Green or Sapphire? I need to see just how much of a blue tint the sapphire has. If it has a decent bit of blue flare, I'll probably go for it since I don't wholely care for green. The emerald Edge just happens to be particularly sexy.
[Galaxy S6 General] DextarRogue:
I think the Emerald is the only color the edge comes in (besides White/Black/Gold) and the sapphire is set to the standard S6.

I'm with you on keeping phones, I've got my S3 right now and if I wasn't having issues with the camera, random reboots, battery drain (even with fresh batteries), and not being able to get picture texts I'd end up keeping it. That being said, with the nicer camera I'm going to take more pictures and download more apps. I don't want to be limited with my storage but at the same time, I don't want to spend over $1000 USD for a phone (128GB Edge estimated price). That's just.. insane.
[Galaxy S6 General] Poetique:
The "black" color is known as Black Sapphire. That's what I was referring to. The only color exclusive to the S6 is Electric Blue just as Emerald is the only color exclusive to the S6 Edge.

As for the price, yeah, $1000 is pretty steep. Though my most expensive device to date was $800 anyway, so it's not much of a leap for me. In this particular case though, I'll let the carrier eat half of that (probably). Been sitting on an upgrade for quite a while now. Though if I can get a friend to use their employee discount, I might buy it outright. Havn't really decided what I'm gonna do on that side of things yet.
[Galaxy S6 General] das boot:
I don't think the $128 Gb Edge will be more than $900 at most US Carriers.
[Galaxy S6 General] Poetique:
I'd guess $900-950 just because that's where the 128GB iPhone sits personally. Though, I suppose it could potentially be more. Non-contract of course.
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
It's not just the price, is I don't know if the difference's worth it.

[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
Oh, thought it was gonna be more expensive
[Galaxy S6 General] GreeleyXda:
$300 for the 32gb edge sounds right.

probably $500 for the 128gb tho :/
[Galaxy S6 General] DextarRogue:
I'd probably do an Edge if it was cheaper to be on a 2yr contract (since I suspect this phone will last for well over two years) but either way I want a 64GB version of whatever phone I get. $100 USD more than the standard isn't bad but it's still fairly pricey for the limited added benefit.
[Galaxy S6 General] dobosininja:
I am curious what the verizon edge price will be on these
[Galaxy S6 General] tenxo:
I agree...Also um not a dev, but I bet once development starts devs are going to be all over bring those s6 edge features over to the s6. It may be just programming in the S6 edge Rom that does the edge stuff (not hardware like the note edge separate edge screen). We will see.

I want to know the prices without contract that's what I'm interested in.
[Galaxy S6 General] brucipher:
So the Canadian Websites list the S6 Edge as about $830-$850 retail price for the 32GB model. Wind Mobile lists the 64GB as $959 and 128GB as $1069. I assume this is all in Canadian dollars...?? If so that would be US pricing of about $650 for 32GB, $750 for 64GB, and $850 for the 128GB. I think that would be smart pricing for the S6 Edge in the US. We shall see...
[Galaxy S6 General] MysteriousDiary:
Here in Germany the S6 32GB starts at 699€, which is the same price the S5 was listed at during its first days and 50€ less than they asked for the Nexus 6 and now the HTC M9. So the S6 prices are like the S5 and just a little more than they asked for the S4 years ago. If people pre-order in a Samsung store they get also a free wireless charger and a 50€ coupon for accessories.

In my opinion the "normal" S6 is priced very well, especially when we compare it to the M9 or Nexus 6.
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
So, they always put the same price. That's good, not put a big price compared with the latest

i settled with the S6, a cheaper and more practical than the Edge (i tried them both).
[Galaxy S6 General] miantiaoliang:
looking forward to S6 edge

anyone gets the S6 edge? any obvious difference when using
[Galaxy S6 General] Shadyfurball:
Long time lurker, first post!

Decided to stick with the s6 as the edge is too pricey. However I managed to try them both out at the three store.... Just wow at the edge! It's stunning!

I did prefer the s6 for comfort in holding though.

Can't decide now!

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

Didn't really look out for this when I had a play around with it but is there a slight colour shift /tinge on the edges of the edge?

Saw a video of it but can't link to the video due to having less than 10 posts.
[Galaxy S6 General] CottonCreeper:
Here in the US, I already gave Samsung $900 for the Note Edge a few months ago. I see no reason why the S6 should cost more then that. I feel somewhat responsible for these high prices because those of us who paid all that $ ushered in this new day of $1000 devices?

$699 for the S6 and $900 for the S6 Edge perhaps? Well if that is the case, so long Edge. AT&T Note 4 Edge at Best Buy is $950. They are crazy! :)

I have following problem, i used to use STOCK ROOTED (latest) KIT KAT on my UNLOCKED HTC ONE M7 with S-ON, and i was using custom recovery TWRP. then i received OTA with LOLLIPOP so i decided to flash STOCK RECOVERY (as far i remember 1st i try was : 6.09.401.11) but unsuccessful:

i stuck here ( and vol up and vol down and power button freeze until i disconnect the cable)

target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes

I flashed already few times stock or custom recovery without any problems, but this is not everything, i decided to RELOCK BOOTLOADER and UNLOCK IT AGAIN

but unsuccessful again :

So now i am : TAMPERED, RELOCKED, and when i want to reach my TWRP phone keep showing me BOOTLOADER with extra SECURITY WARNING!!!

I wondering if latest RUU file with LOLLIPOP may sort out the problem ? ( if this file actually exist ? in the internet ? )

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clsA:
how did you get s-on if you were s-off ?

you simply need to flash stock firmware for your version (6.09.401.11)

then unlock the bootloader

then flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 / restore stock rom 6.09.401.11 (including data/preload folder)

flash stock recovery from 6.09.401.11 and take the OTA update

[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] ToiletBanana:
I think this should work for people who cannot get into recovery mode, computer cannot detect the phone or have security error message.

How I bricked my LG-E450b

I thought rooting for this phone was like my Samsung phone, so I installed Kingo-oneClick-root, got root and deleted all of the bloatware.

Little did I know that I could actually brick my phone by deleting some LG apps (Stupid LG).

Symptoms of my bricked phone

Secruity error message

Phone would not be able to go into recovery mode (Volume down + Camera button + Power button). It would restart after 3 seconds or so after the android loading gif.

Phone would not be detected by the computer

LG support tool could not detect phone (since computer cannot detect phone)

LG support tool would stop at 4% when trying "upgrade recovery"

I was basically stuck and thought my phone was hard bricked. So I started playing with the phone hoping for some magic thing to happen and I got lucky!

How I fixed my issues

Remove case and connect the phone into the computer with standard usb cable

Power into recovery mode (Volume down + Camera button + Power button)

Just before the phone displays the security error, remove the battery (phone still connected to computer).

Put battery back in and turn on the phone normally (no recovery mode)

If it worked then there should be a white message on the bottom left of the phone saying "Download mode: "

Optional: If the computer shows that the device attached has an error then you are in the right direction! Go into device manager (run devmgmt.msc) and right-click on the device that is not detected and uninstall

Optional: Hold power button until the device shuts down and repeat from step 2, the next time you get into download mode the computer will detect your device :D

Open the LG Support Tool (almost done) (attached in this other forum post)

The phone should get detected by by the LG support tool. Try to update the firmware. If the Support tool says that you already have the latest firmware then go in Options->Upgrade Recovery and put the model number or IMEI/ESN/MEID of the phone and click ok; the recovery process will start and your phone should work

Note: If the phone is not detected by the LG Support tool, then it will not work (it will stop at 4% when doing the upgrade recovery). The phone has to be detected for this to work.

Conclusion

These are things that worked for me, but I am no expert. This is not a full proof guide and I am only posting the steps that made the phone work. It might possibly be that you don't have to do all the steps described above to get into download mode, i.e you would just have to remove the battery at the right time to activate the download mode.

I am posting this describing the exact steps I took, so this can hopefully work for someone else.

Good luck!

TL,DR : Remove battery just before the security error message and reboot phone to get into download mode.
[LG Optimus G Pro] laufersteppenwolf:
Alright, as already mentioned, after working on an unsecured boot image, I was also working on the next, quite important step regardinig development on a device: a custom recovery.

I am happy to present to you a working CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 for locked JB bootloaders. This is not a bootstrap recovery, being installed inside the system partition, but a proper recovery located on its own recovery partition.

Requirements:

A rooted device

An unsecured boot image (for whatever reasons, I had some issues without)

A working adb environment

The installation is just as simple as the installation of the boot image:

Download the recovery to the root of your internal sd (/sdcard)

Run the following command from a root shell:

dd if=/sdcard/CWM_5.5.0.4_d680.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=1024 seek=27648

Reboot into recovery and be happy ;)

How to boot into recovery:

You can either use the "adb reboot recovery" command when you're in the system, or when the phone is off and doesn't boot anymore:

Press Vol - and power at the same time and keep it pressed until there appears a screen asking you to perform a factory reset. (It can take well over 5 seconds, thanks to [MENTION=4467557]hernankano[/MENTION] I kept looking and noticed that I stopped pressing the buttons too early)

Ignore the warnings and continue by pressing the power button twice

Even though the screen told you it would have run a factory reset, it didn't. It just booted into CWM.

But as it's an initial release, there are still some bugs:

Internal SD is not mountable

You need at least a working boot image for booting into recovery, as I found no other way than using "adb reboot recovery" to get into recovery. If you know the button combo, please let me know, because none of which I have tried worked.

Please let me know if you find some more issues.

And for GPL reasons, I have used the stock zImage.

For kitkat first of all you need to be root, you need to install Flashifly, select the option "Recovery image" and select CWM 5.5.0.4 by laufersteppenwolf and finaly reboot the device.

I´m a big fan of custom roms..and I hope you can make a custom rom very soon!!

Keep up with the great effort!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] laufersteppenwolf:
Well, I have already been thinking on how to start. I'm still torn between running KK as a custom ROM or an older version. Because let's face it, the device is anything but a flagship device ;) Which means older versions are probably gonna run smoother. On the other hand, a proper KK custom ROM will certainly be snappier than official KK. The only issue is getting to the point of a "proper" custom ROM.

I am personally still running the JB firmware. But I am planning to give KK a shot as soon as I have enough time. (just a quick question, what's the best way to root the KK firmware?)

A quick reminder though: this is not my main device, only ma dev device, which means it's not my highest priority.

I will certainly keep on working on it, though ;)

I updated my G900F to Lolipop samsung stock G900FXXU1BOB7 via odin.

It was on a telekom branded firmware before. Flash went fine.

But it freezes out of nowhere. Sometimes when I pickup my phone the screen is on showing only Samsung logo and the led is pulsing blue. I guess it rebooted and freezed.

I didnt witness the reboot. It stays that way until battery is drained or i pull out the battery. This happens multiple times a day except when its charging. When charging its fine for the whole night until I plug it off and put it in my pocket. Next time i pick it up its frozen.

I wiped cache didnt fix the issue.

I did factory reset didnt fix it either.

Anyone else having that kind of issue ? Anyone have an Idea what can be done to fix this ? Its rly annoying cause it makes my phone nearly useless.
