[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shri080:
I dont know about the Ram management problem you are talking about, my phone's performance is fine over all. The best thing about this phone is its camera which is really the best camera out there on any smart phone. I am a professional photographer so you can blindly trust me on that!! And talking about the display, it's a great display to look at but it's been a week I have been using it and I don't find the edge scree so comfortable to use compared to the normal display. But in terms of looks it's one of the best displays out there. And also edge screen doesn't really have any great functionality so it won't be of much use except for showing off :P but I bought it purely for it looks as it looks gorgeous with the edge scree, it looks as though there are no bezels and that's the thing I was sold for. And the display sharpness is amazing too. One more important thing is battery which is not so great. It's mediocre. I some how manage to get it going for a day at least but if you are a little frequent user then you might not be happy with the battery. So over all its a great phone and to be honest all the phones have their own issues so if you really like it's looks just go for it and later dont regret. One more important thing is there is no proper screen guard for it yet so when you buy if you don't use a screen guard you will definitely scratch the screen and if you put some regular screen guard the screen will obviously not look as good. So that's a little frustrating too as you would have to use such a beautiful display with some pathetic screen guard. But I changed the screen guard yesterday again to a sort of half matte finished rubber material which seems better than my previous one. So these are the pro and cons I am having. So buy it only if you are prepared for all of this else wait for the Note 5 :) I also checked out G4 before buying S6E and it's not all that impressive. And also make sure you take an insurance which covers all your theft,water damage and physical damage. Since there is no tempered glass screen guard available for it yet the chances of screen getting broken would be more. So don't buy it with out an insurance. I have had no scratch on the diplay and the first piece they opened in the store had scratches on the home button so they gave me another piece which is fine. And which part of India do you live in? If you are from bangalore I can help you pick one for a good deal :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
I m 4m kolkata. And i am thinking of something insurance things the shopkeeper were talking about. I was talking to them through whatsapp. Not in person. More info will i get in the next week when i will be there.

It gets fixed by an ota. I had that issue, but it went away after an ota
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shri080:
You can at least say thank you for typing in so much for you :P
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
Haha!! Thank you bro!!. You will get the the first news after i am getting mine..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shri080:
Which issue are you talking about. I am talking about not being able to turn the brightness to 100% even when the auto brightness is off. And which was the update you got? I am on OE3 now and rooted :P

Oh acha I thought u meant the one where it kept on going off from auto brightness

Hi, question, any timeline on when 128GB S6 Edge is being released in India?

Also as a note, I enquired yesterday in Pune and the best price I have been quoted is INR 52,500 by one dealer and a few dealers quoting INR 53,000.

I might be able to haggle a bit more off when I am ready to purchase on the spot. Just for reference, prices may vary by city.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rexisrex:
Matey, upgraded my edge to oe3 yesterday..bought my platinum gold edge 64 gigs for 54k from purvikaa mobiles chennai.. Exchanged my old htc one m8 for 20k..so overall a good buy I guess. Am also getting the wireless charger which is deal for s6. I saw the clear view case which comes as bundled offer with edge 64 gigs. Honestly are they kidding with that cheap look plastic crap on this beautiful designed phone? And it costs 1500k to buy stand alone.. I never use case on any phones till date, especially flag ships. The Chinese knock offs which will mushroom will look better and damn cheap.The truth is after exploring with lots of cases, I can honestly say as long as you don't drop the phone, the case themselves do a lot of damage by creating scratches as dirt and dust accumulate in the gaps. So thought the 1amp wireless charger is going to take ages to charge, but I found some value in it than the case which is zero value. Pls don't look online images. I have seen it in person. And anyone who appreciates the style statement of the edge, will never get this trash near it. As usual samsungs weird case design after the s4 skiwear..This is my opinion though..

Have covered the front with full edge covered "tempered glass like material" which is fine Atm for the 500 bucks I paid..he asked 750 but I hard negotiated and bought it to that. Also did a clear conventional scratch guard for the rear for 150 bucks.. This is until a quality but also not fleecing tempered solution lands on for the front and back..I know the eBay options avl right now. But have had screen shatter issues in transit (for my iPads) and never ever chose to order these via mail. Even with layers of bubble wraps, this thing survives the transit only by way of luck..

And dear sir now to the important question, what root method you have followed to root oe3. Pls guide me. Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shri080:
54 K is a very good deal with the wireless charger but like you said that 1amp wireless charger is going to take for ever to charge and trust me eventually you will never use it. And you dint like the case? That's strange. I know it's definitely not worth 1.5K but I got it for free and I really liked the feel of the case. I mean honestly it's got a premium feel and finish. But the only thing I dint like about it was it's not so comfortable to hold in the hand as it feels very slippery. But I bought a couple more cases from a local market here which is good to go for another 3 to 4 months :P and yeah initially I had a cappy screen guard too but just a couple of days back even I got the rubber material screen guard which is a little like matte finish types but it looks neat and does its job!!

Anyways congrats on your new phone :) I just followed the tutorial on the highonandroid site and it was a breeze. But just make sure you have not turned on the find my phone thing when rooting. Let me know how it goes :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rexisrex:
Thanks dude. Yeah I have also got the rubber material stuff, but that was the only one which covered all edges. It looks alright for the moment, till real tempered solution comes along. You know what once you have got the taste of glass, you never feel ok with the normal plastic scratch guards...but this rubber is tad ok compared to it.

Will check on the high on android site as suggested. Thanks..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shri080:
Yeah I love the tempered glass too and what's the whole point if we can't find one for this expensive beautiful gadget. It's a shame we don't have it yet. Hopefully it will be available soon. The rubber one I have at the moment is pretty decent I must say.

Did anyone get scratches on thier glass ?? Mine was scratched in first week but I didnt notice it that time if it was out of the box.. Anyone tried contacting samsung if they are offering a replacement? I do have a syska insurancre but going through them will be a lengthy process and time consuimg also.. may have to be without my phone for quite some time if I claim insurance....
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Charusen:
Hi, got a S6 Edge 64GB (Gold) for Rs 52,500 yesterday in Pune. No free accessories except a cheap TPU clear case. It does the job for now, but thinking of ordering a Ringke Fusion clear case from Amazon India.

Can people who have bought the s6 edge 64 gb version post which camera sensor u have i hav a 32 gb one frm the first batch i have a sony sensor my friend bought a 64 gb model after a month he has samsung sensor
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mateenf:

Hi guys...

I want to root my edge with pingpong root...but as all u know that current indian firmware is not supported...

So if i want to downgrade to previous firmware..can I simply download the firmware file from the sammobiles and flash with odin or I have to take some necessary steps before flashing the previous firmware...

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] eaglerazor123:
I had eyes on this beauty from the date of release. I just waited for the Green Color.

Luckily,i bought it today (had to sell my S5). Emerald Green does stand out :)

Model : G925I

Next step..being a developer..i don't keep it stock :P

1. Gonna flash 5.1.1 of G925F Model. (It should work by disabling Modem/Hidden Partition while flashing )

2. Root & Recovery follows.

After this, I'll cook up a custom version of 5.1.1..in my free time :)

Happy Flashing!

Peace.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rexisrex:
1. Open phone dialer and enter the below code

*#34971539#

2. This will open the ‘Camera Firmware Standard’

3. Tap on ‘ISP VER CHECK’. This will show up the rear and front camera make.

4. For Sony sensor, it will be ‘SONY_IMX240_FIMC_IS’ and for Samsung Isocell sensor, it will be ‘SLSI_S5K2P2_FIMC_IS’.

Please note that both camera sensors on Galaxy S6 bring the same picture quality, with no obvious difference between the two models.Though, Samsung has officially announced that the Galaxy S6 is shipped with Sony IMX240 camera sensor, some users noticed that their Galaxy S6 is using the Samsung Isocell sensor. Though the picture quality of both camera sensors remains astounding with no apparent differences, the benchmark test showed that Sony sensor could bring better quality photos.Both Sony IMX240 sensor and Samsung Isocell sensor on Galaxy S6 are identical and there will not be any difference when it comes to image and video quality.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] somekeystrokes:
When are we getting the 5.1.1 officially. Any one with any update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shranav:
Yes this is all you need to do. Just download the previous firmware from sammobile and flash it via odin and later run ping pong
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] eaglerazor123:
I can confirm 5.1.1 Works on G925I .

I flashed G925FXXU2BOFJ 5.1.1 File ( of

G925F

) on my G925I & Yeah it boots successfully and I'm using it :cowboy:

I flashed the file using Flashfire (Recommend) by leaving the hidden.img & modem. Yeah it's important to leave these two because the Modem partition is protected.

It can also be flashed by Odin but the files Hidden & Modem should be removed from the firmware package.

Root & TWRP is also working ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/twrp-recovery-2-8-7-1-g925f-android-5-1-t3144866 ).

It's a easy process and should be done carefully.

Or else you could wait until Samsung pushes the update for G925I.

Guys!! Has anyone found any tempered glass for S6 edge which fits perfectly?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] viraj6990:
Flashing any Custom stuff like Recovery trips the KNOX whereas Flashing stock firmware won't. If you are looking forward to root your phone (without tripping KNOX), downgrade the system to any PingPong supported firmware.

Remember, downgrading will work only if your phone runs Android 5.0.2. and NOT 5.1.1.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RichaJune:
Hi Viraj,

Awesome answer and was looking for this.. Am on 5.0.2 with Baseband G925IDVU1BOE3 and was thinking to downgrade to G925IDVU1AOE2 (Downloaded Stock firmware from Sammobile) and flash it via odin. Then root via ping pong root for the flashed firmware. Thousand likes for your answer..

Can't wait for Samsung Singapore and flash the India rom. Not too bad just that Google Hangout randomly pop up saying it's not responding and the phone vibrate then press OK. KIND OF ANNOYING. Indeed is still quite buggy. Instagram also sometimes fail to connect to camera.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nishant786:
The hangouts issue is 5.1.1 related and happens on most phones including the nexii. Overall the s6's 5.1.1 is very stable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bernard134:
So must wait for stupid google to fix the issue then, idk what Google is doing nowadays in software testing phrase, all engineers sleeping is it. Samsung also another one, RAM issue still don't want to fix (there already solution in XDA tweaking the build.prop) but seem like Samsung didn't even bother and focus on S6 Edge+ and Note 5 upcoming launch only. Their device hardware is cutting edge way ahead of Apple but software wise cmi, so what even got good hardware when S6 series lag like some low end phone after opening a few apps and smart manager show red colour and hit 90% plus and even clear also less than 1GB of free RAM, idk should i trust their Note 5 or switch to new Apple iPhone 6S Plus when it announce in Sept as i am using a Macbook Pro and iPad Air now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nishant786:
Yeah well software is in a sad state these days on all platforms. Been using iPhone since ios1 and my 6 is the most unstable iPhone yet. Been using Windows phone since day 1 and lumia 800>>lumia 930. Android again going through major under the hood changes, but its still much much better than where it was a year back. So yeah I trust by the time m is properly rolled out it will be very stable. Much better than ios9. Only because android is remaining android while ios is trying to become android leading to instability.

If I was you I'd stick to android. More so because anyone who goes from android to ios gets bored in 2 days. :D

But yeah, note 5 is being rushed to get here fast so I will be ready for bugs when I pick it up. So should you.

PS. The s6 is the best Samsung phone I have ever come across. It's truly a huge step in both hardware and software. I would never recommend a Samsung before this phone. It's just that Samsung cannot do much when Google screws up. But they seem to be trying.

And Google is too busy playing around with ways to get more of our information (now on tap?) Than trying to make things stable. M should be better though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bernard134:
True, I am a Samsung user since galaxy S (2010) till now using S6 Edge. Like what you said but too bad Samsung is rushing the release of Note 5 to prevent meeting the new iPhone as they know they cannot win in unit sold figures, Android M isn't ready until Q3 maybe early Nov with new nexus so Note 5 will still be running the latest available build of Lollipop 5.1.1.

Just hope 4GB DDR4 RAM free ram will not be as sucks as S6 series (mine RAM always used around 80 to 90% in Smart Manager without any app running) not suppose to be like that for a flagship phone and hope the RAM management issue is fix in note 5 if not put 16GB ram also not enough.

Asus Zenfone 4GB version DDR3 RAM somemore and their multi tasking is fantastic as app won't reload when tap in again show that Samsung software team really fail badly.

Well my contract renew only in Q1 of 2016 so Samsung launch Note 5 in Mid August even with bugs also won't affect it unless by then in 2016 they still haven't fix with software update then too bad.

Android M to S6 series and Note 5 I think will only arrive by Q1 - Q2 of 2016. Sigh! [emoji17]
