This is partial.. They should provide a free wireless charger with S6 Edge as well if they're providing it with S6. Why should the buyers of S6 edge pay an extra premium to get the great looking device and don't get any freebies? Seriously? Why?

Btw, I just got mine Black Sapphire Version for 55k yesterday and though I was feeling lucky till yesterday, as I was expecting, the prices has dropped down to Rs. 54.8k on some of the online stores. The good thing is that while I was looking for a curved tempered glass screen protector, I thought of getting the phone insured instead. Yeah, rather than paying Rs.2000- Rs.2500 for a curved branded tempered screen glass, I preferred paying Rs.2k for an insurance which covers 100% accidental damage charge, theft, burglary and everything else. It will deduct some depreciation over the time in the case of theft but its all worth it I believe and better than getting a screen guard for Rs.2.5K as I believe it doesn't guarantees 100% protection either and if it drops with a bit of pressure, the screen might crack even after the presence of screenguard (happened to me once already).

P.S. Does anyone know any way i can get the samsung wireless charger along with the phone for free or at a cheaper price? As most of the online stores in Europe and US are offering one for free, no matter if you buy the S6 or the S6 Edge.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] erazer007:
Yes it does cover the curved edges as well. Refer to my quick review #260 on the previous page

Anyone using spigen ultra hybrid case?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] galbatrox9:
I have it. Don't buy it. Please don't. There is some tiny space b/w the case's surface and the phone's surface so alot of dust, and **** gets into.

Also the inner surface is a scratch magnet and looks terrible after 1 week of use.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
Well. I asked because I was not sure if I am the only one facing these issues. I read a lot of positive reviews and bought it last week. In 2 days of use, the inner surface looked like crap and the back film protector was scratched all over. I took it out and stopped using the case. Wastage of a thousand bucks. Right now using the official wallet flip cover.

Any cheaper transparent cases out there? Have already spent too much money on cases. Looking for a cheap and reliable one.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] galbatrox9:
Get that tutu case easily available for 100 rs. I've seen ppl use it and it does work better than spigen :P

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
Thanks. I will see to it.

BTW,I am probably among the few here who tripped/flagged their knox counter to get root as soon as I got the mobile. It's not that I don't regard my warranty. The thing is, whenever I have faced any hardware fault with my s2,s3 or s4, I got my phone repaired even when I was running CyanogenMod or Resurrection Remix with the fanciest boot animations and themes. In fact, the service center guys would complement me for my nice boot animation and theme and ask me how to get it done. :D

So, I think tripping the knox here in India is not a big deal as the service guys are unaware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] galbatrox9:
What's the service center's location? :D

Forget about Knox Tripping thing........People who work in Reliance Digital don't even know how does Download mode even works....

After launch of device went to Reliance Digital and requested for a Demo piece he said Mobile is updating and I need to wait...After 10 mins When I repeated the same question he said Net speed is slow so it's taking time..... Looks normal right? Slow speed is common for US...But there is a twist........Mobile was in Download Mode from the minute I have entered store...From when WI-FI started working in Download Mode... :eek::silly:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cool1guy:
I have been using it and to be honest, I'm in love with it. No idea why people hate it so much. Instead, everyone I showed me phone to loved the cover and said that it actually looks really good and original Spigen case. Bought it for somewhere around Rs.1000 from eBay, I know slightly expensive that the other ones but I have been a fan of Spigen cases, have even used some fake ones in the past but I believe nothing beats them personally until and unless your expectations are really really high. The other one similar to this of some other brand covers the charging point and the headphone jack, it offers extra protection and prevents dust but I don't really like those extra fancy attachments.

Haven't seen any dust go through my headphone jack or charging port and everytime you have to put your headphones on or keep the phone on charge, you need to remove them which creates a hassle which I am not really a fan of.

And some people mentioned that it doesn't fits properly, looks like they got a faulty piece because mine fits perfectly and instead you need to put a little bit of pressure while taking it out which guarantees that its properly fit and the sides cover the corners of the screen which is again a bonus to absorb the shock and prevent side and back drops and maybe some front facing drops as well.

Lastly, it comes with a back screenguard as they think the cover might get the phone scratched so to add extra protection and prevent it from getting scratched, what more can someone ask for?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
lol. Now that's something. Moreover, there are crazier things I come across. The new way of tricking the normal public is by making them install Anti-Virus for which they are charged upto Rs.1000.

"Sir, Mehenga mobile hai.. Virus ho jayega.. Hang hoga... Risk kyun le rahe hain... Daal dijiye." And the innocent man falls for it, getting insecure about his new investment.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] aditya1987:
I have some problem rooting my phone. Flashing the twrp which comes along with the skipsoft tool works just fine. if I try rooting with the superSU by flashing the file through twrp, the phone goes into a bootloop and the s6 edge screen keeps coming up. It became very difficult to recover my phone from that condition. Even the original firmware failed. Then somewhere I read, after flashing firmware till it fails, flash twrp and it automatically does something and the phone got fixed. Even trying to flash VN Rom goes into a bootloop. I tried flashing latest modem before flashing a ROM but no luck. I don't understand where m I going wrong. Please guide me. This is Indian version of edge.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
Does VN rom come with a stock kernel or simpl kernel? Make sure you are flashing simplkernel right after flashing the rom.

---------- Post added at 02:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 AM ----------

If that also doesnt work, try flashing stock fw from flashifire app(not flashify). This will restore all your partitions to stock and you will still retain root.

Then you can install custom recovery via flashify and then try installimg VN rom again. Dont forget to flash a kernel supported by 925I after flashing the rom.

lf that also doesn't work(which is very unlikely), I suggest to start from the begining. You might have messed up something when you rooted the phone. Sometimes things go wrong that you can't debug. The best way is to start from scratch, i.e flashing stock, rooting, then installing custom recovery and then the custom rom you want to install.

You said flashing stock fw via odin failed. What was the error?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
My initial impressions were very good about the spigen ultra hybrid but I used the crystal clear one on a Gold edge. Any scratch is very much visible as it's a gold phone. The back protector got scratched in a couple of days and is full of marks now. So is the inner part of the case. That's my only major complaint and it's a deal-breaker.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
Dude. I faced the same problem as you. Odin hidden.img failed when flashing the fw. And there was absolutely no way to recover the s6 edge.

To, get your phone again into a working state, the solution was to reboot the device again into download mode after the first flash fails and flash the recovery.img of the same fw after making it odin flashable(tar). I recovered the phone but realized this is happening every time I flash this FW

A lot of people had faced the same issue over the S6 and S6 edge forums

-Some people told that the phones partitions are messed up and I needed to flash the correct PIT file to be able to flash any FW again. Otherwise it will fail every time.

-Some people told that I had "Reactivation lock"(Find my Samsung's feature) enabled and that's why I am facing the error. (In that case, we get a different error while flashing via ODIN or factory reseting, not hidden.img failed error.

The error is because of the FIRMWARE you are flashing is not supported. Yes! I recovered my phone by flashing the latest Indian firmware and it worked like charm. So the lesson here is, EVEN WHEN THE DEVICE MODEL IS SAME(925I), THE FIRMWARES FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WHEN FLASHED VIA ODIN. (At least in my cace, and a few other who confirmed)

PS: The FW flash works if done by FLASHFIRE but ODIN fails.

Rooted Device?

Hi All,

Anybody rooted their device and can you please tell me the procedure to root S6 Edge - SM-G925I?

Will it increase life of battery. My Phone battery is draining more than normal and Samsung customer care guys are of no use here in Banaglore. They tell everytime that device is working normally without testing it.

Regards,

Richa
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mr.Raviteja:
1st reset your device buddy and check for 1-2 days.I'm saying this because looks like your new to rooting maybe few apps which you have installed are draining your battery and turn off all the features which you dont use.

Just rooting the device and using greenify might not solve the problem (I'm saying this because I have faced this problem with my Note 3 and Sometimes battery drained more after root with complete stock)..You need to flash other kernels etc etc...

Just for a battery drain rooting your costly device might not be a good idea.....Try to Reset The Device,Re-Flash the FW/Flash better stock rom which have good feedback over battery backup if everything failed then think about rooting :good:

---------- Post added at 05:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

I have seen your other posts and Here are replies for that

Just Disable your location.....Looks like GPS/Location are ON all the time on your device...Use GPS Only when needed they drain the battery

VoLTE Option and Turning Off capacitive lights Features belongs to T-Mobile (US Carrier) S6 Edge version.....International Version S6 Edge Devices will not have that option

Before Flashing Any Firmware check if it supports S6 Edge or not

which is the best curved temperd glass for my s6 edge
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] h3llboy911:
To control the capacitive lights, use the app Galaxy Button Lights from playsstore. Root not required.

You can try disabling the "Google app" from application settings and test your battery life. It has been proved to be draining battery.

I saw videos on YouTube. The back glass is pasted with adhesive. It won't break if you are careful. You just need to use a suction cup and and plastic tool which you will insert and move all around the phone and that's it. It comes out. Some heat makes it even easier.

See this video for an example.

Also, who needs to save the old glass when your are removing it? That makes the process even easier.

I was on OE2 and I had rooted via pingpong. You can upgrade from OE2 to OE3 and retain root if you follow these steps.

1. Download latest OE3 from sammobile.

2. Copy it to your phone.

3. Download FLASHFIRE and flash the firmware package. (Don't flash the modem, uncheck that option as it is a protected partition).

Your phone will reboot to latest OE3 but with old OE2 modem(baseband).

4. After that go to download mode again and flash only the modem via odin. Done!

Or you can just wait for pingpong for OE3. :D:D
