Wireless Charger

Hi All,

Can we get wireless charger with adapter and cable bundled together in Bangalore?

I asked few Samsung Smartcafe shops and they replied only wireless charger will get but not adapter and cable. Same in Amazon.in also.

If anybody get to know if wireless charger comes bundled with adapter and cable pls let me know. I have payback points to redeem.

Regards,

Richa
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
OK but why do you need the wireless charger with its cable and adapter. You can connect any normal cable to the wireless charger AFAIK.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] K14prasad:
You can even use the fast charger that was bundled with the phone for the wireless charger..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
AFAIK, you can connect your fast charger to the wireless charger. If it doesn't work, you can simply connect your old android's charging cable and charge away...

First of all INDIA ROCKSSS

After update to 5.1.1 i have notices dip in battery life, and antutu score is never more than 67000 mark. previously it often reached 69000.

thanks guys for great inputs.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] S6EdgeIndia:
I too haven't received OTA. Even connecting via SmartSwitch shows no 5.1.1 upgrade option.:confused:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RichaJune:
Hi [MENTION=3059459]K14prasad[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2908624]amirage[/MENTION]

I know that fast charger provided with phone can be used but my question was different. I watched video in youtube where a person unbox new wireless charger and it came with adapter and also cable within box so wanted to know if its available in bangalore so that I can buy it. If its only a charger then 2.9k ₹ is too expensive. Instead of it, I can buy Mi Power Bank 16000mAh just for 1.4k ₹ and advantage is I can carry it in my bag and charge whenever I want to.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
Hi there, the availability of the cable with the charger boils down the brand that you are looking at. If it's the original samsung wireless charger, then it's only the instrument that's in the box or at least that was how I got in Dubai. I'm not sure if Samsung follows different packaging styles for different markets although this is highly unlikely.

I do know that the phone is capable of wirelessly charging with other compatible devices. Have a look here: http://www.gottabemobile.com/2015/05/09/best-galaxy-s6-wireless-chargers/?gbmsl=1 .There're some really good deals on Amazon. Have a look. Happy shopping.

Oh btw, the question you should be asking is do you really need a wireless charger? I find it more of a paper weight than functional albeit I didn't pay for mine :D:D just some arm twisting! hehehehe...:laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RichaJune:
ok here I found youtube video where wireless charger comes bundled with cable and adapter..

Richa
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] K14prasad:
It is more likely that the package contents are market dependant.. You could as well spend the points for any other item you would like rather than the samsung charger. I bought one qi charger from a chinese website for about 300rs and it is working really well.. :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RichaJune:
Hi can u pls share details so that I can also buy it?

New Update Available

Just got notified about a new software update. I guess it's the one which fixes ram and battery issues. Only available through smart switch at the moment, no ota.

I m downloading it, lets see how it goes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
Really, another update and that too through smart switch. This should be interesting! The last update broke more than it fixed...I hope this is not the case with this update...Oh btw..is this a 230+ mb update?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bernard134:
1. Got the screenshot of the OTA?

2. Does it fix the MMS Android Bug like US AT&T and Sprint users got few days ago?

3. Does hangout still randomly pop up saying not responding?

4. Does it have the recent update that improve battery life like Europe got?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sandeeppandey:
No OTA, only through smart switch. Still downloading, it'll take an hour or so. Will update when its done.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
Looks like the same update the ROW has had for over a week now. Does it say how many mb? I don't think Samsung has released any new update world wide
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sandeeppandey:
Indeed its the same. The ram usage has improved by leaps and bounds. Earlier it used to be around 85% right after a restart but now even after 20-25 minutes it currently at 61%. Overall the device feels snappier than before, also the ability to auto stop apps after ten minutes of screen off is no longer there.

Battery needs to monitored for a day or two, hoping it improves.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
Auto stop is still there..it's under battery stats.. As for the RAM usage, don't worry it will go up to 75% after two days...Snappier I don't know..give the phone 2-3 days it will live up to its promise of slowing down eventually...The reason why RAM usage has come down is that Samsung has apparently used its brains as disabled wallpaper motion whilst keeping the switch still thinking that the users will be dumb enough to not recognise it...

It's a shame that S6/ S6 edge has the best hardware in smartphones but the Samsung's (s)hitwiz is too bloated and has put the "fun" in dysfunctional....On that front, you've got to hand it to Apple, iOS is so well designed that gives almost the same performance right from the 4s up to 6plus which is 6 cores minus the S6's....
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sandeeppandey:
I don't have the auto stop now. I checked thoroughly. Performance surely has improved, the ram is still around 65% and a quick clean up using smart manager cleans it all the way upto 52-53%. This was never the case earlier.

I hope they push out an update to put fix the wallpaper thing even though I don't use it.

I have an iPhone 5s and I like it but android is what I prefer. I had a 4s before the 5s and after 8.3 it did face performance issues but that was expected as its hardware was quite old. I feel it ultimately boils down to one's use and preferences in their decision towards ios or android.

With android, what really matters, to get a better experience is to have a device within flagship range of prevailing devices as down from there the experience really isn't worth any praise due to slow hardware and lack of optimizations as well as the ever increasing bloatware the mid rangers and entry level devices come with.

All said, I hope you enjoy your device..!! Cheers..!! :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
Sorry my bad, the auto stop feature is under RAM usage window...there's tab for "manage apps"...I too have an iPhone 5S but never experienced any lags so far...but yes I prefer Android due to the freedom is offers...I really hoped Samsung had put some efforts into optimizing their (s)hitwiz to the hardware....Anyways..this is a never ending saga...I do hope Android M and the then updated (s)hitwiz will be better optimised.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bernard134:
Yup after the upgrade the RAM is slightly better. The auto stop app option is no longer there under Battery. Will monitor the battery life. The ability to dial LCD test, firmware S/W Ver and Camera firmware is no longer available since Android 5.1.1 for S6 Edge, previously on 5.0.2 I am still able to dial the code.

Hangout also no longer randomly pop up and state not responding. :)

jst got the 267 mb ota..so far system is stable n steady no hangs.. noticed one thing..enabling forcr gpu rendering has mad e a big difference and coupled with nova launcher prime..overall smooth now n cooler.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shuvadeep:
Phone has gone into a boot loop after the latest OTA update.

Tried deleting cache, its of no use.

I can try factory reset, however don't want to loose data.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] charming.arpit:
I too got this update... the update was brilliant. The overall responsiveness of the phone has increased a lot.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rkadve:
I too had the same problem, I uninstalled Nova launcher & everything is Ok now
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] charming.arpit:
I must say that just a 200+ update has done wonders in the overall performance of the phone. Its very snappy. However, I can still see that recent apps are still getting removed from memory very quickly. This is one area which has to be improved by samsung. I hope, this area is improved after the launch of Galaxy Edge S6+ with the new software version which is to be bundled with S6+.

This update has also improved the battery life as well.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mateenf:
Installed the need OTA last evening and found considerable difference in baterry life. Also RAM management has improved.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
i just got notified about a 237mb update and it is via ota..

so randoml system ui crash problem is solved?which was due to low availability of ram...

and device got snappier? ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] violin.siva:
I updated my phone yesterday view a smart switch. It's size is around 1565 MB. I want to know the changes made by Samsung. To my knowledge I saw the email menu has changed to reduce colour and ui os also very similar to Gmail. Please somebody tell me the latest change log of the update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bernard134:
One more thing to add is that this latest firmware DOES NOT FIX the Stagefright vulnerability affect 90% of android devices. So far only US Carrier Sprint and AT&T issue the fix.

massive price drop in s6 edge

hi all, just noticed that samsung online store is selling at 41900 and free wireless charger too!!!(for 32 gigs):D

i am yet to decide between ip6 and edge..is that the right price to lap up this beauty..

also will the brick and mortar dealers too reduce the price or it will remain for online purchases:confused:

delivery time 10 to 12 days
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] singh_21:
Better buy iphone6, Coz i don't think u will be able to handle GALAXY S6 EDGE, coz who knows Android or galaxy s6 dont ask such questions. Its DAD of all.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dheerpat:
ok singh saab, have decided against ip6..tell me one thing how is this phone in daily commute, like in buses and all..is it fragile (scratches etc) and is it pocketable (shirt pocket)

i had ip5s previouly which scratched over time just by putting in jeans pocket!!! i heard its got gorilla glass 4 front and back.,.,are they really scratch proof cause i dont see putting my phone in a case..i like em all naked :0
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] charming.arpit:
Stop fooling around.... the phone u r talking about is s6 and not s6 edge... s6 edge is still listed at older prices only.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dheerpat:
oops my bad...sorry..got confused by gold color ...but we might see a drop in prices soon at par with international markets

http://www.abplive.in/gadget/2015/0...-And-S6-Edge-get-massive-price-cuts-in-Europe

local samsung gallery is offering at 46999.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
[MENTION=747046]dheerpat[/MENTION] iphone 6 or the plus will be a waste of money now since the next iPhone is due for release in a 1 month or so. However, the S6 edge should live for another 8-9 months until its trumped by the next version in March 2016. Now, if you'd like to get silky smooth transitions, window animations, generally good battery life, consistent performance...then you're better off with an iOS device...however, if you are willing to give up all these for freedom of usage, then the edge would be your option...please don't go just by the hardware specs because your hardware is as good as its weakest link..and for all Samsung devices the weakest link is the software - (s)hitwiz. It has the hardware to rival any top-mid ranged computer today but the software is a sheer disappointment...Shame to such hardware go to waste...I hope I have given you some guidance on the topic...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ViolentR:
Hey guys, currently I'm in India but from the UK and being impatient i bought myself an S6 Edge Gold but I just have a few questions about me taking it back to the UK.

I've posted them here but still waiting for a response and since you've all probably got the same model ( G925I ) I thought it would be a good idea to ask here :)- http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/s6-edge-network-signal-compatibility-t3174340 Hope you guys can get back to me
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dheerpat:
hi amirage , thanx for detailed response, i came from "pre mobile " era , at least as far as india is concerned, my first being that big chunky motorala model with an antenna..i gradually moved from nokias(90% of their range, last being windows),motorola, htc(pocket pc to windows), ipone(3 to 5s), panasonic, micromax etc etc and samsung of course..,,

my relation ship with apple being love(hardware) hate(itunes) one..when ip6 was launched i was not impressed by the cosmetic appeal(unlike from 4 to 5)..love the freedom that android provides specially in customisation..

i was in fact blown away by the amoled revolution that samsung introduced from s series, and when s2 was launched with superamoled it was manna from heaven.

anyway, i finally took the plunge and bought a gold 32 gb version yday...and i am glad that i did..the design is super sleek(like a ferrari, or a f16!!), those curved edges are se***ier than eves, and the screen is something to die for..pure bliss..yes the slim frame digs into hand, and no FM!!! how sammy forget to include that for indian markets..hope hardware is there and future sw updates resolve this..same for apps for edge screen.

btw i am not getting notifications on lockscreen, i mean is there any way to show them like glance screen on nokia , or moto g

so i finally took the plunge and got myself

finally have taken the plunge, bought a gold 32 gb ..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
All the best with your new device. I too have no qualms with the s6 edge. It's just that I feel let down by the heavy touchwiz even though the device has got more computer power than my mac book pro. I sincerely hope Samsung gets their act together and release a better optimised OS soon
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sukhi:
Some of the features of Edge Plus would be rolling out to our devices in the next update. Already rolled out in the Korean Build. Excited !
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] zeusumit:
What are those extra features?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ariefabuzaky:
G925f get the new update with s6 edge plus feature now
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sukhi:
G925I has also started receiving the Update. Singapore received the update.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Suyogaerospace:
About which update are you talking about the one with 250mb size? Or something latest?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ariefabuzaky:
I think that is not s6 plus feature update
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
but no mannual shutter speed.i really need that.i know there's other app but i need that in default camera app
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dheerpat:
my friend in mumbai who put an ad on olx to exchange his gold edge with iphone6 was shocked with zero responses, even there are no takers for this phone at 40k

seems there is no resale value for edge and iphone still rules in that sense..any takers for xchange pm me..

Hello friends

Just acquired a shiny gold edge and i am loving it. Threw screen is awesome and it is so good to hold in the hands.

Been using for two days.

I am having huge battery drain due to Google services and the phone gets hot in normal use like browsing Internet or using Facebook.

Any tips on improving on these issues. If required, I am fine with rooting or flashing a custom Rom. Although i like how the stock Rom is and would like to keep things stock for a little while.

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
Update to the latest version...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rohit25:
Disable location.... Disable auto-sync .... You would see the increase in battery life would be 5fold
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
I need both of them so turning them off is not an option.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
I am on this build. Is this the latest?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] violin.siva:
Yes it is
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
So, what are my options. Google play services are killing my battery.

So is rooting and then using appops is the only option??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] amirage:
I don't think rooting will be of much help. By rooting, you will lose fingerprint unlock and also trip knox (thus voiding your warranty)...I'd suggest factory reseting your device and checking if the issue surfaces again...which it shouldn't
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sukhi:
Try one of the following :

1. Clear the Cache and data for all Google Services Framework, Google Play Store and Google Play Services

2. Go into Mobile Data and Turn off Background data for google services.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rohit25:
Turn off location when not in use... Or change the location to battery saving .... Plus turn off background data for Google apps
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Rooting breaks the fingerprint scanner?? Are you sure??

That sucks.

I dont care about knox though! !
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rohit25:
Rooting won't affect fingerprint unlock... It only affects Samsung pay.... And Knox sucks any way..... But yes you do shun your warranty....

Although I would say its the better thing to do as it helps in debloating and greenify better
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ariefabuzaky:
Is there any thread for rooting 5.1.1 g925i ? Or can you explain step by step how to root it ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Yeah, the guys at the service centre also dont know what they are doing.

Got my s4 repaired from them even with knox tripped!

I also seem to be affected by the mobile standby radio battery drain.

Any fixes for that?

Could you please point towards what method i should follow to root.

Also Rom and Kernel suggestions to get to be able to make through a day.

Thanks in advance! !
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rohit25:
Cf auto root is the best... Find that in the original dev forum of s6edge
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] paddy2kool:
You have to flash a custom kernel in order to gain root on 5.1.1

you can search for unikernel/unibase kernel and flash it through odin to gain root. it will trip knox however

you can check the link for the step by step guide.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bernard134:
Still waiting for the new features of S6 Edge + to hit our S6 Edge "I" variants which is super slow in terms of update. Only S.Korea and Europe are getting it as of now. :(

---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 AM ----------

SG user here too, sadly after super long delay it still the same version as the India Rom, not the latest with newer UI and features from S6 Edge +. I think we need to wait for the second update to hit Singapore maybe we will get, but usually India will get software update first, so if they get then we got chance. Still hate the RAM management that aggressive close apps despite running 5.1.1. New Note 5 and S6 Edge + also the same with 4GB RAM, so it's not Google fault, is Samsung touchwiz software that is the issue.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] violin.siva:
Is it possible to flash the Singapore firmware? Mine is G925i indian model
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bernard134:
Yes. We are using the same - SM-G925I you can flash any country 925I firmware

Hi guys,

recently by elder brother bought a samsung galaxy s6 edge, but although he got it through a proper channel with bill, i have a concern on the authenticity of the phone and accessories .

Is there a way i can can check the warranty and authenticity of the product??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ariefabuzaky:
Download Samsung info from play store
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
anyone get the new update including s6e+ features??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sukhi:
Not Yet ! Maybe tonight or tomorrow probably !
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Can any one please share the baseband version on our Indian devices.

Have rooted mine, running custom rom and the battery is much better.

But i still suffer from the standby radio drain bug.

Have been advised the update my modem to the latest version.

Not sure which one is that.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
hey,how do u root and which rom u r using?

can u xplain the process.it will be very helpful.thanks is advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
I simply flashed unibase kernel. Check a few pages back and you will also find a video that i was suggested to follow. Simply follow that and its as simple as that.

Please note that rooting trips the knox counter and renders the warranty void.

Am using Crash rom and so far its running very good.

Cheers!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
u r very helpful to me..thanks.if you wouldn't mind plz can u tell me page no.my internet connection is bad.i can't go through one by one.

how much ram is free now?compare to the stock??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Post no 548

Page no. 55

Havent checked on the ram though.

But Crash Rom is ultra fast when compared to stock. Very very smooth.

It also based on the latest release and has the new icons and app edge features etc.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
thanks again..but one last question. how do i get twrp ??it seema only to gain root.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Flash it through ODIN. Just download the latest odin flashable version for s6 edge.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
which file shld i download ?

.tar or .img

and i should put into ap section.ryt??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Download the img.tar file. Latest.

And flash it using the same steps as the kernel through odin.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
i have current COGA 5.1.1 stock rom

to install the rom do i need to flash bl and modem via odin afer installing unikernel and twrp??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
I think since you are already updated to 5.1.1, you should be fine. I was also updated to 5.1.1 and i didnt flash it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
thanks....fingerprint works??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Yes!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
can u send me a ss of ram usage??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
From where? I dont have any special app installed for that

Edit:

Found it. See screenshot attached
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shamps:
Hi. Can some one running stock firmware share the version of rom and basebend on the phone.

I want to check what version is there after the latest update with the s6 edge plus features and icons.

Thanks in advance
