But i have already updated to OE3
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
AFAIK, it won't trip your knox. Our device came with a knox enabled firmware since the beginning.

The devices which launched without knox bootloader might be eligible for what you are saying once the phone is updated to a knox-enabled bootloader. I don't see a reason why flashing another knox-enabled firmware will trip your knox while flashing a week old FW.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RichaJune:
Hi,

Am on "OD2" and does rooting via pingpong root trip knox? Also can I manually update from "OD2" to "OE3" based on the above steps?

I don't want to trip knox so am taking time to get to right thing.

Any help appreciated.

Richa

Hi,

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
OD2? Or OD1? May be now we know why you have battery drain. You are on a very old firmware which had bad battery life. Update to latest firmware by connecting your phone to wifi and updating to the latest firmware.

Go to settings, then about device, software update, update now.

Rooting via ping-pong doesn't trip knox but it doesn't magically improve battery life either. The stock non-rooted official firmware is providing decent battery life to me. Have you tried to reset your phone? Update to latest firmware and reset your phone once. That should solve the issue.

Hi,

I didn't get any updates neither OTA nor through Smart Switch (windows version connected to laptop). It says my software is updated and the baseband version is "OD2". I purchased S6 edge on 12th April and started using it on 26th April (took time to get nano sim and etc) till then device was in box sealed. I started using it on 26th April and full charged before switching ON device. I dont know which version it was at the time of using but definitely I remember I got software update notification on the same day and I updated. On the following days I noticed rapid battery drain and contacted Samsung customer care and later they got remote access and they also admitted there is issue with the device (They asked me to put phone into 1. Safe Mode and monitor for couple of hours, 2. Factory Reset phone and monitor etc). I asked for replacement of device and service center guys (Bangalore) took phone for inspection/testing and returned me same device saying device is working fine and battery drain is normal (also said device return policy was 7 days and we can't take it back), it will drain 5% if whatapp is used for 5 minutes. Following up with them and speaking to them is a nightmare. Service center manager also started to threaten and made issue personal. Mailed couple of mails to CEO office but still the customer service guys were from Chennai and same service center guys later on. So had to drop the issue and started using phone as it is. No justice no help from any Samsung customer care or service center (Bangalore). They are worst.

Then decided to take help from experts in forums from you people and surviving.

Even though I reset phone, disable many unwanted apps, disabled some smart features as mentioned in earlier threads, am getting less battery backup. So am trying hard to get considerable battery life atleast.

Today once again I will check for updates and let you know.

Regards,

Richa

We have got two software updates in May. Get your device updated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mr.Raviteja:
If you're unable to update the device just take it to service center and ask them to update the device (I don't know exact process of this but I'm sure they will update the device)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RichaJune:
Hi Raviteja,

If am not getting update also I will keep the phone as it is but never ever go to service center. They are unprofessional and worst people. They take things personally and threaten. I think Samsung has outsourced their service to these mindless people. They are rude and don't know how to speak to customers. Moreover as I said they returned device to me they said me that they have flashed the device and updated the software from scratch and that was the latest update they installed at that time.

And regarding the battery monitoring, I noticed that battery took nearly 6 minutes to drop from 3% to 1% (Screen On Time). I also noticed that brightness bar was not available from the notifications screen when battery reached 5%. Later after reaching 1% it vibrated and switched OFF within 20 Seconds.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Richa
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mr.Raviteja:
Visit some other service center..

Which happen to phone from 5% to 1% is common on all android devices.....Auto brightness will be disabled to save battery after reaching 5%

There is another option...You can manually flash latest update using ODIN
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
Next time when your phone discharges from 100 to 5%, as it reaches 5%, go to settings, then battery, then battery usage, then screen. There you see time on x hours yy minutes. That is the "Screen On time". Please post that here along with the time your device took to discharge from 100-5. That's how it can be told if your drain is abnormally high or not.

Also, let us know if your device says it's up-to-date after checking for OTA and connecting with smart switch again because may be back then it was the latest software available.

screen and camera issue ?

Hi I bought the galaxy s6 edge black on 22nd soon after getting it i realised that the screen has a defect in terms some round circles below the glass. I noticed it when the screen is off in direct sunlight. the circle or spotting creates some discolour around under the sunlight where as it should stay flat black. I got it checked at the service centre of Samsung and they cross checked with their S6 Edge device which dint have any. Post which they issues a DOA where in i can go back to dealer and exchange it. I went back to dealer and got another unit in exchange plus its touch stopped functioning. Dealer removed another unit this time in Gold color which had a similar issue and was again verified by the service centre. So far all 3 device back to back has add similar problem. I got the 4th unit which again has similar problem and i have registered a complain with Samsung Customer care. If get no response will be going in for 4th DOA.

Any solution on this has anyone else noticed this issue in direct sunlight when screen stays off ?

Another issue I found is excessive noise issue in Camera under low light condition before taking the picture more like preview. My 4th device has Sony sensor. I don't think I had this issue in my 1st device which I used for 5 days. Can anyone confirm on this noise issue. attaching the screenshot.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] RichaJune:
Hi,

Am not having such issues. Screen and camera (also under low light condition) both are good.

The viewfinder under low light..will show noise..all u have to do is tap the screen to focus on subject and take the pic... else in low light the best way is to go "pro" mode and manage settings likewise... in my suggestion go for lg g4... u will be more happy...

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mr.Raviteja:
Can you post some pics Buddy
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kannanX10:
Yes it seems g4 beats s6/edge in both camera and battery life.......
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] predator21:
anyday i can bet g4 will beat the hell out of s6... m using s6 edge myself..but disappointed... n i have noticed smthng over period of tym

1. not all of us are gamers... so multitasking n all that bull**** vids etc is ok to judge only.. in everyday life is pointless.

2. since most of us are working and have office regime.. we need more batt (essential coz most of us work in mnc's typical 10-5 etc) ..better radio and portability

3.better buck for money is prime importance

4. we deserve the best n economical after slogging for months to get out hard earned pay for devices..

In my view like g2 ...g4 (will deliver the needful balance n punch)

sammy did bad by following apple interms of pricing n storage economy... personally s6 will entice ppl for a day or so..later its a messed up software still with too many lags..batt leaks

Improved battery life after updating os to 5.0.2 FW OE3

Hi Raviteja and H3llboy,

Thanks for your suggestions. On Friday May 29th I updated the OS connecting to laptop via Smartswitch. Filesize was about 1.5 GB and once it updated. I reset the phone, charged 100% and started to use phone normally. Now phone is getting considerable battery life (as suggested, I have disabled most of the apps that I don't use). I will post the battery usage photos by tomorrow as still am monitoring it.

You are welcome. Also, you can disable sync and push notifications in apps that you don't need(facebook, times of India, twitter, etc) to save more battery. Push notifications and sync cause the device to keep waking up from deep sleep, thus draining battery.

G4 isn't as good as S6 Edge in terms of battery life. It's even worse in terms of battery optimization. The screen is horrible under direct sunlight. Too reflective and low brightness. The camera is more or less the same. Details are better preserved on the S6 Edge while colours are better processed on the G4.

No , I paid just 2K for pre-booking. Immediately got an SMS confirming delivery on 10th. However, as I said earlier the sms seemed to be a generic one acknowledging the pre-booking. ( the sms reads " Dear Customer , Congratulations on pre-booking Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. Your pre-booking reference number is XXXXXXXXXXXX . Be amongst the one first to get your device on April 10,\'15 and redeem an exciting set of pre-booking privileges. " )

Battery Drain

I got my 64gb S6 Edge yesterday, Within less than 24 i have two problems, one the battery drains rapidly and the phone gets heated quickly when the phone used for more than 20 min continuously , Second the auto brightness is not working properly when you keep in power saving mode. :confused::(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jais_dude:
I don't have the battery drain issue. .however @ times gets a bit heated after long use..that's pretty common wrt my earlier M8..nothing alarming. .P.S. hope u have installed an update available. .but it's a dust magnet.:(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] K14prasad:
Great you got your phone, see whats eating the battery in the battery history or use gsam or bbs. Not sure about the auto brightness.. No one reported this problem yet on edge. Howz your screen? Hope not scratched like many of them got..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] aravindrajamv:
I installed the update, Still i have battery draining issue, i can only get maximum 15 to 17 hours, i just use few hours of 3G, whatsup and phone calls. even i tried factory reset nothing changed, my LG G2 is still doing great. Battery and heating problem never accord, yes its a big finger print magnet but still it is gorgeous everybody's eye popped out seeing the gold reflection of the phone.

Hi

I have white S6 64GB.

I have marked that many things are different in S6 and many many features are missing

1) Auto brightness gets disable on its own

2 ) Edge notification getting disabled

3) Open background tab opting missing

4) Switching between chrome tabs needs left hard key

5) Apps are crashing

6) Annoying Mobile data disable popup window!(with no option to disable it)

7) Long pressing Mobile data options opens up data uses rather than network settings!

8) Quick view can't be expanded by dragging it with two fingures!

9) Syncing is not good

10) people can hear me well on phone.

11) No guest mode!

I get more of a feel that I am using iPhone than S6! Many user settings are missing

when i saw the review of Galaxy S6 Edge everyone said that the battery is not too bad or too good because the device is in development stage after the update the phone will be much better, but even reviewers said lollipop is energy efficient in many ways. But after updating to 5.0.2 and using for 2 days battery drains fast, i normally use social network and some games in mobile data or wifi, when connected through wifi, Battery drains fast and we can feel the device is getting heat at the back of the device. So now i am only using chatting in 2G network for better battery efficiency, Even after nearly 2 years LG G2 battery doing great no heating issue or auto brightness issue and its still in kitkat. Samsung must come with some update with battery efficiency.

Hey guys,

Bought my 64GB black version a couple of days back for a good deal. Got it for 55 K actually. Now i have a very ordinary screen guard on it which covers the whole screen but obviously the display WOW factor is not felt immediately. Hopefully we will get a good quality tempered glass soon. Coming for Oppo find 7A, i am over all really happy with the phone except for the battery. I have done everything possible to optimize it and its sort of okay now. I leave home by 7.30 in the morning with 100% and with very minimal usage i am left with around 20% battery when i get back home around 8.30. Hope the battery life gets better with time. I have also bought some really nice cases from a local store here in bangalore. Will post some pictures when i have time. Any suggestions on a good custom ROM? I think i will use it with the stock for another month or so before i root it :)

I am gonna buy a 64gb model next week for 56k.anyway any indian user spot any hairline scratch on screen out of the box on any indian unit like some t-mobile user in Usa was having when the phone was first launched?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shri080:
First of all 56K is more for the 64 GB as I got mine last week for 55K. And there was one unit which had scratches on the finger print scanner right out of the box so they gave me another piece. So check it thoroughly before buying. And also there is one issue with the auto brightness and it exists in all the S6E models across the globe. No body still know if it's a hardware or a software issue and there is solution for it yet. I can still live with that problem as I really don't want to get in to the service center headache but you please check it once before you buy it. All the best :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
They give me the free wireless charger with it. They quote the price. I can bargain it. So u say u have the the auto brightness bug? I have seen this bug in various videos in you tube
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] shri080:
With the wireless charger it's an okay deal but the wireless charger is not a great device as it's just 1Amp charger and takes for ever to charge the phone 100% so I would suggest not to take the wireless charger and instead negotiate for a btter price. 54K would be a great deal. And yes my phone has the auto brightness issue too :( you know here in india there is no return policy so either I will have to wait for a fix or take it to the service center which is a pain :( I am hoping it's just a software bug and hopefully it will be fixed through an OTA. But I can guarantee you that all the S6E has this issue. You just have to check it properly so see the problem. So be prepared for the issue if you are buying an S6E.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] rpk12:
Besides that, how the overall performance?? Is the ram management issue solved?? Hey u seem to post here quite often here, do you came across any user having scratch on actual display??
