[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PerryRhodan:
Try this in direct sunlight please with max brightness.

It is not a real burn in. It is a frame of a used component that Lays direct under the display.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingb3000:
Real screen burnin

We were at the Verizon store today and noticed that all the Edge phones had real screen burn in. One had the Verizon logo burnt into the screen that you could see clearly from within any app with a white background. We used chrome and a normal web page to show the employees of the store. The galaxy s6 egde had some sort of Verizon demo bar burnt into it. It seems to be a problem with the screens. I googled for it and found this thread. I am surprised this hasn't become a serious problem for Samsung yet.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveTT81:
Had a very bad screen burn in my S5 - i could actually see the title of the email app i have to use for work on a white screen without sunlight (title of the app is ALWAYS at the top when working in the app). Now had the S6 since it has been out and starting to see the same issue. Spoke with Samsung about this and they stated that the S4, S5, S6 and all Note devices are capable of getting screen burns with High Contrast imaging or lines. They said they could replace my screen but i would be without a device for nearly a month, and the carrier will not complete a warranty because the device still functions perfectly.

THANKS SAMSUNG! :mad:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genetichazzard:
That's the nature of OLED technology. It's not Samsung's fault. Any OLED or plasma display will inevitably suffer from burn in.

They key is not to keep static or super bright images on the screen for extended periods of time.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteveTT81:
I understand that fully, my issue is not that this happened as i understand it will happen, my issue is with the poor customer service i received from Samsung on more than one occasion with this device and the people around me who have had similar experiences with Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towking:
Same issue.

I can also see the keyboard on whites screens.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustySpoons:
The status bar has burned in on my S6, or should I say the rest of the display has aged around the status bar. This phone is 2 months old. Half brightness and set on auto. Really not happy about it. I also have a "Dirty screen effect" where there are subtle horizontal lines on the screen that I can see when scrolling up on Web pages.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timsmooth:
Went to the Sprint store today, and noticed all of the s6 phones had "6 appeal" burned in across the middle of the screen from the promo running on the phones in store. Caused me to pause and consider other phone models.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusseldieb:
I haven't noticed this yet, but now that I've found this thread I will definitively look at it...

Now it's night and I can't perform that sunlight test, but I have turned my phone's brightness to maximum, opened a white image and looked at the screen. I see some burn-ins, but I haven't any camera good enough to capture those minimalistic details. I have made a image which ilustrated where are those burn-in located.

Where the status bar is, I noticed that the display is whiter than the rest of the screen. The rest of the screen has some minimalistic 'yellowished' tint. And also a bit under the middle of the screen I notice some darker area which has a darker tint than the rest.

PS: I only see that if I look VEEEEERY long and closely at the screen. In that image I have tinted it a bit more that others can see it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffr39:
I saw the same thing Saturday at Best Buy when I was checking out the S6 edge. Very bad burn in. Granted they don't change screens much on the demos and are constantly on, but not a comforting feeling.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luka3rd:
This is screen burn in...

I was today in a shop and I was very unpleasantly surprised to see that on both S6s, normal and egde, the screens were so damaged... None of the othe phones in all the shop had this problems.

I have attached the photo, take a look for yourself.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxM4tzexX:
Maybe it's just a wallpaper xD

what kind of shop is that? Trying to sell a phone with horrible screen burn-ins?

I kinda highly doubt it ;)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big_Tom:
It is BS with it not being burn in - the S6 and S6 edge all have the same problem that after a while you _will_ get burn ins. You may see something else in direct sunlight, but people here are seeing real burn-ins. I unfortunately have some magenta'ish logos visible on brighter screens. Wish it was grey/black :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackcell1:
im currently wiping a load of s6's and i can confirm that this is a very common issue with the s6's screens. I've currently getting about 3/10 with the status bar burn-in issue.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:

Heard from others that it's a hardware problem and the only fix is exchange. Other carriers seem to send a new device. How is the verizon?

It seems that we are getting refurbished one after 14days of purchase according to

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phaze1585:
I see a lot of people have the same title, but im not seeing my question so. I would love to buy this phone, but I want the the version that has the 3GB of RAM and I cant seem to find it anywhere. Has anyone else had this issue? I would also like to know where might be a good place to search for the 3GB version, if you know? Now, when it comes to this phone, I understand I can be picky, but does anyone know if there is a big difference between the two models - 2GB vs 3GB? I really wanna get this phone because of the screen and the battery life, but it also has to have some power to it. Ive been doing mu research and I know its no slouch, which is why I wanna know if theres hat big of a difference between the two phones. honestly im about to just settle for the Nexus 6 due to its screen size and power, but i want the Mate 7. If yall could help me out with my dilemma I would be very much appreciate it. Thank you.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy8846:
Just get the 2GB version and a 64GB SD Card, it will be just as fast as the Nexus!

The 3GB version isnt much different, battery is also reportedly worse
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simona Simmy:
Yeah get the 2GB version I have it and it is still fast..

3GB is only if u wanna have so many apps opened same time .. that is it..

I have habit to close even one app all the time..(but not my GF tho hahah) so ..

Am pretty sure plenty ppl has habit close apps ..:)

Where do you live and how much you want to spend?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Easy Computer:
For the 3gb ram gold , its almost usd520 give or take a few. Its the same here in the middle east and the Philippines. I believe its lower for the other colors and more cheaper if its just 2gb of ram. I'm guessing max price for the gold 3gb would. Be 560usd with LTE.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexre123:
Hmm....The 3gb version has the same 4100 mah baterry capacity like the 2gb model. Why it's worse?

I have the 3gb dual sim model. Should I have bought the 2gb model?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roy8846:
More Ram would eat more power no?

3GB version is fine if you want to spend extra.

For me it wasnt worth the extra, 2GB Ram is plenty (I have around 5-6 apps open always)

32GB SD Card is very cheap, Mate 7 stores all data on SD so thats a big bonus, no need to get bigger internal storage
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexre123:
I liked the 3gb ram gold colour version because of the dual sim and it looks more premium ( for me) than the white model. And it was on a special price when i Got the phone. The white model has that plastic on the front (white borders) which I didn.t like it, but its just personal preference. In the gold version the borders are metalic.

You are right, more ram should eat more power, but in normal usage should eat the same ram like the 2gb mode, no?l Even if I have 3gb ram, I always close the aplications :)).

In my model the only thing I don/t like it's that I don't have more hours in Ultra power saving mode. Never passes 30 hours ( other phones have 60 hours) , even with full baterry, but I think it's has something to do with the EMUI firmware ...

ps. one more thing. can you tell me please if your phone in antutu test under 'performance expalnation" tab, you have the same message for baterry like in the picture?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simona Simmy:
do that bttery thest when u have 100%

50% ? what a crap ... mate7 stay last longest from all phones except mate 2
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexre123:
Its not from baterry test. That message it's from antutu benchmark. After the benchmark it`s finished you can see 'performance explanation' and that screenshot it's from there. You don't have that page.? It's a little offtopic, sorry, I will update the thread that I opened last week.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simona Simmy:
NO I meant charge phone to 100% and THEN check that battery INFO in antutu
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexre123:
I did it whit baterry at 100%. It says the same message "Average battery performance, surpass 50% other devicese" ....

Can you tell me pls what message you get for baterry performance in Antutu ?

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garnet&gold:
your device is fine. You are just in a bootloop. To fix you can either use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit under flash stock /unroot choose bootloop/softbrick, then follow the instructions. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015467

Or, you can go to the google site re-download 5.1 or at least verify you already have a good download by checking the md5 and re-flash. Follow the steps on the google site to flash. https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] pearsonpsh:
Has anyone else been having a problem with their newly purchased Sprint S6 where the signal shows as 1 bar LTE on the s6 while other phones activated on sprint show better LTE signal at the same location? Even though the s6 and other phone's downloads speeds are the same, it always shows as 1, max 2 bars lte on the S6, although when placing a call the LTE indicator shows more bars for some reason. My family has two new S6's on our plan, and their both experiencing this issue. That and a few calls that didn't go through are making my dad freak out and wanna go back to his GS4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Bars don't matter, what matters is Settings-->About Device-->Status--->Signal Strength.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] pearsonpsh:
I know, but I think there may be an error with the LTE indicator in the notification bar, and my dad says its driving him crazy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jobryan26:
Mine is the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] pwr2wh8:
i have the same problem. i updated my prl and profile to see if it would help and it didn't. then contacted sprint and they did a manual provision refresh. that seemed to solve the problem for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Comando156:
Mine is at one damn bar of LTE everywhere... doesnt seem to affect my speed of data usage... its fast... but it does have to search for that signal allot...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
OK I think I see what ya'll are saying now. Just curious, what's your software version, OCF?? Also, anyone got a good fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] smizak:
Same here, on OCF

I noticed that as soon as the call connects, the bars shoot up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] boomer8403:
I also have this issue on OCF. Question, has anyone rooted OCF yet? If so, which method did you use?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] CassandraChere:
I am in exactly the same boat. I just changed from the S4, and at work we tested our phones side by side an S4, S5, and S6 and mine was the worst. I had to turn my LTE totally off in order to do anything. Please tell me this is something that Samsung can fix because I love this phone and don't know what to do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] reverepats:
Ya know,, 2 days ago I did changed my mobile network settings from Automatic to lte/CDMA. ALSO DID run an PRL update a d such but my signal had great actually, and my battery actually has improved alot since the change. Very well could be an Radio issue. That's what I'm guessing it is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mobgod:
Is it me or does this phone have a issue with making calls example tons of dropped calls, or do I need to get another phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeFCaputo113:
Guys, Samsung knows about this.... Supposedly will be rolling out an OTA soon to fix it,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazymook:
Lets hope so. I'm convinced all of this poor battery life is from the modem / signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mobgod:
I was messing around if you just select CDMA you will not drop calls until a fix if you guys want to do that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] sethmcmichael:
The signal display mainly looks bad because it's a Tri Band phone. On your s4 it would display the voice strength even though you were connected to LTE. On the tri band phones it only connects to LTE, and the switches to voice when making or receiving calls that's why you see the signal jump up when making a call. LTE does not travel/penetrate as well as voice and CDMA, but good news is that it does not have too to get good speeds.

Check out an app called Signal Check. It's cool to actually see your real signal and it just some bars. It will also tell you what band of LTE you are on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mobgod:
I understand that but doesn't help the people that are getting tons of dropped calls like myself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mobgod:
Any info on a update I can't take all the dropped calls driving me crazy now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Mangu:
Even on OC9, we were experiencing the dropped calls. Finally, updated to OCF today, to see if it helped, but actually feel it may have gotten worse, seem to be experiencing more dropped calls.

a. download Google SDK Installer

b. add packages you need for ADB to work.

c. download TWRP custom recovery

d. download the OxygenOS ROM

e. Install driver for ADB to work

f. turn on developer options and enable usb debugging

g. reboot phone into the bootloader using ADB

h. unlock bootloader

Hello - I need some help here. I have just been installing this weekend: CyanogenMod 12 by ivanich with nano GApps.

I was previously running a ROM by albinoman which was really cool but I found I couldn't stream audio by BT in the car. Anyway I have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDCard and the phone appears to crash/hang/stop loading when its inserted and started up.

I also have a small 8GB SanDisk card which seems to work fine but I want to use this big one.

This never happened before and I have no idea were to start. except I have re-partitioned the card and formatted it using 4Ext after which I copied the contents of the smaller card on to it via Windows.

Unfortunately the sensation only supports up to 32 GB
[HTC Sensation] snuggiebear:
I don't buy that though. I ran with this sdcard no problem on stock rom for several years and have been doing so on albinomans rom recently as well.

Technically speaking I have seen and experienced it running no problem. Perhaps HTC don't officially support it but they left supporting us a long time ago anyway.
