I'm pretty sure they are scratches. They are so numerous and randomly placed that they appear to adjust to the light source. Only those perpendicular to the point of light will be most illuminated (because the light reflects off the edge of the grooves) thus creating the halo effect around the light source. Have you ever seen a black car in the sun that's been auto-washed for years? You can even see it in this image of a tree, which, like the scratches, has lines going every-which-way.

Now compare all that to the S6 Edge:

We got a problem here.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rekondo:
Does other Gorilla Glass 4 phones have the same scratches?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] eyc:
No. Case in point, the non-edge S6, which has no scratches. This must be an issue with the edge's plastic substrate.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Jooosty:
Samsung probably expects that the average user cannot see these swirls.

Not the average XDA user though.

Received my 128GB Sapphire Black Edge today from T-Mobile.

Ordered it at 7:05AM PST on pre-order day.

Phone is scratched to hell out of the box. Pissed off because it's such a beautiful device and this whole thing ruined the whole experience to enjoy it.

WTF Samsung, the phone looks like it's been used without a screen protector for like a year damn it.. :mad:

Time to call T-Mobile in the morning for an exchange, if the 2nd one comes scratched I'm going back to my M8 and waiting till they sort this out. I will not settle for the regular S6 after holding this work of art. :laugh:

My scratch pattern is unlike the photos shown here, not circular but random micro scratches all over the place with no particular direction.

How did you check for the scratches? And you're absolutely sure they're not there? If so congratulations. And if some truly don't have the scratch it means bad batch

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Interesting if one of you could speak to T Mobile customer services about the S6E return rate.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] das boot:
Are we talking about actual scratches in the glass? Or are we talking about swirl marks in whatever coating is applied to the glass? They are completely different things. As far as color temps, two different panels not being identical, is not uncommon. Comparing your phone to a display model in store isn't a true indication of anything in my opinion.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] yoman258:
Plastic shouldn't have a hardness high enough to actually scratch the screen. Nor should dust. If these scratches are showing up, it would almost have to be from manufacturing I would believe. I am no expert though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thawk720:
I'm also Viatnam 20150319, scratches are more fine than some of the others on here, but they are for sure there.

Also, may be OT and paranoid, but I'm also starting to notice hints of lag. XDA on chrome for some reason today is out of control laggy for me. I took some video if anyone cares to see. We're talking wont respond to input for 1-3 seconds and general stuttering all over the place.

Scratches on the home button ffs? What the hell is going on here. Seriously. This is bs.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Jooosty:
I want mine straight from Samsung HQ
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brianbrain:
That's a shame, but also somewhat promising. If the scratching is on the home button, then this indicates it's not an issue or limitation with the plastic OLED substrate / bonding, but simply a manufacturing defect which will be rectified.

The real test here is going to be seeing how AT&T/Sprint/Verizon's launches go. I'm sure they have teams paying attention to T-Mobile's pre-launch of the device. No company wants a slew of open box returns, so if they're smart, they'll be inspecting their inventory this week and not send out affected devices.

We shall see soon enough...I've got two Edges preordered from AT&T so I will be sure to report as soon as they arrive (come on AT&T, ship 'em before the 8th!).
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] misterpsych:
Called tmobile to see what was up with my replacement since it was supposed to be 'overnighted' - tmobile rep said 64gb black are currently backordered and will be overnighted when available (7-10 days). So... something is going on....

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] crazeco:
Actually, mine has more than just the circular scratches (screen and home button). It actually has this strange seam going right down the middle of the screen that's visible when off and in the sunlight.

I've tried to capture it in a few photos, the screen is off here, but it travels the whole length of the screen. You can see where the colors distort against a line... that's it. Very weird.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] odobo:
looks like a seam in between the 2 LED panels

That looks like the seam between the 2 LED panels to me. With this high ppi screen Samsung may have to use multiple panels to make the screen so they can keep the yield up?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pgibbons:
I participated in the QA thread, but just saw this one. Add me to the list of people that received their S6 Edge with scratches on the screen and bezel. ->

My 32GB black one came yesterday (4/2) with overnight shipping and it had a couple of scratches on the screen and top bezel. Not deep enough to affect viewing on the display but noticeable when the screen is off and you see the phone in certain angles under lights.

Like the previous poster mentioned, the scratches are not all in one direction or in a pattern. Mine happen to go diagonally on different parts of the phone. I am guessing it is because the plastic front and back glass protector it ships in is not fully attached to the phone. It's like a plastic sleeve with a open top and bottom so the phone has a little room to slide around against the plastic as the box is thrown around delivery trucks. Mine came in a shipping envelope instead of a box so even the box with the phone in it had room to move around as it went through UPS.

These initial scratches are not a deal breaker for me for now though. The more concerning part is that it appears there has been no improvement in terms of anti-scratching/Mohs scale with Gorilla Glass 4. So my concern is how the phone will hold up over time without a screen protector if it was scratched so easily before I even got it.

Maybe a mod should merge the QA thread with this one? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/scratched-screen-box-t-mobile-t3069062

HI,

i still dont know if the audio skipping with AD2P headsets is a hardware issue or an OS issue.

The problem is that i can not use AD2P and SPP (Serial Port Profile) at the same time. The SPP works fine but it starts skipping the audio.

I get this when i try to use my headsets and the GPS at the same time.

I wonder if this happend because the Wizard has a 1.2 BT stack and not a 2.0.

Anyone using hermes has this problem?

Did someone try using other BT stack?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] da_jojo:
i think it has more to do with the radio..

i noticed some AD2P headsets do not conform to the rulez set to it.

as wizard has 1.1 bt stack it probably wont work well with 2.0 devices allthough it should.. this u'll see most in the bandwith usage.. device made

for usb2.0 use more and wont do well if this bandwith exceeds that of an 1.1 or 1.2 BT stack

might try this ext gps router in wm6 .. its in settings>connections>ext gps

and route it to a com port not used

Hi, I've got an unlocked originally AT&T LG G2, D800 model, Black 32 gb version, now being used with T-Mobile.

I've got a bit of an issue. I can't update it to the latest version of Android available to it. Now, I was able to finally update it to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2, through a looong and convoluted process (terribly sorry, I can't remember the tutorial page) involving com ports, and "Download mode" on the device.

Anywho, while it is 4.4.2, I don't believe it is the latest version for this device, as I've read that it is supposed to have the "Knock Code" feature, but it does not.

Of course, the first thing I did was go to the LG site, and download their "PC Suite" software. I had it check for updates for my device, but it said it was on the latest version.

Not sure what's going wrong here, and could really use some help with this.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparks305:
Proclip has other solutions outside of magnetic mounts oofest, however I went with this option because its universal to any phone.

How I resolved my issue: I tried configuring tasked to disable but failed and didn't want to go through the trouble of doing everything required to try the closed module that others now are saying didn't work. So what I did before possibly sending theount back was to test if the magnets were even strong enough to hold my phone in its case in the first place before hurdleing through the magnetic auto sleep issue. What I found out was the magnets were strong enough (I was surprised) and also that by placing the thin metal ring on the phones back then putting the case on alleviated the phone from going to sleep, don't ask me why or how because the magnetic field is still reading over 1500-2000. I have test it over and over to verify and really happy now that it works and I didn't have to modify anything, just change the location of the metal ring (on the inside on the phone case).

When I get home I can post pictures.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooofest:
That sounds like a clever solution - I don't know why that works if the field strength is reading the same, either.

Looking again at their sales pages, I may just go for their Universal Mount without magnets and bypass this potential issue. My phone is kept in a dual-layer case, so it likely wouldn't fit in the dedicated Nexus 6 mount, anyway. So, problem avoided.

Hi everyone Im with this C6616 (Bell) Xperia Z and tried to install a app from the store wich Is Lollipop Screen Buttons[root] , after Following the steps in the app I had to reboot the phone and when it light up there was no background (It was black!!) then I clicked on the app's shortcut that just created on the desktop but even tho I pressed RESTORE DEFAULT BUTTONS and restarted the phone again it didnt work . I then had no choice but to factory reset it that is when I knew I ****ed up , the touch screen works but part of the UI doesn't seem to respond (the wallpaper moves as soon as i touch the screen but nothing "clicks") and there is an error that Pop's up every time I Close it : KeyboardTest something the screen doesnt allways turn on now so I cannot tell whats the exact error. OK so I tried PC Companion with it I followed instructions for Repair under Update section but the phone doesn't want to go flash mode : POWER + button DOWN .

no way to use repair ... So maybe Im with a Bricked phone as this is unusable to me lololo tell me how to install something else maybe cm 11 - 12 I was on rooted - official 4.x.x (last one)

also I installed fastboot drivers from DEV.SonyMobile site ans still the phone is not recognized as a fastboot xperia z.:good: Pls help me , I need it for work tomorrow morning. :good:

now it shows as c6602 in PC Companion :eek:

Edit:

Fastboot doesn't seem to work since flash tools asks me to install drivers which they provide in a folder but Windos 8.1 fails to install em :((

SOLVED**---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here we go

1- Open Backcover with help of a suction cups and a slim screwdriver or any hard slim tool .

Start Flashtool - Connect to usb - Power on device -Test Point(Golden dot between batt. cable and big metal motherboard shield) touching the middle of that metal shield + Volume down quickly - hold until flashtools says Device Conected in Flashmode. DONE you can now proceed to flash it with flashtools - Keep Having a good one !! btw this was random testing after extended hours of research while xda forums were down for maintenance hehee.
