Nothing like that on mine. Did you check your screen for pink tint issue?
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Yeah, but it shows up in the images as well, so nothing to do with the screen.

It's something similar to this: http://xdaforums.com/note-4/help/note-4-camera-light-pink-spot-condition-t2938358
[Galaxy S6 General] Truestark:
Looks like you have a dust particle on the lens, under the glass.
[Galaxy S6 General] ZaKaTRoN:
Hello, point 3 (auto-brightness) does not show any number.

Also one sensor is uncalibrated.

Is this ok?
[Galaxy S6 General] Kjc99:
Mine does this too... Weird....
[Galaxy S6 General] theronlas:
The compass probably needs calibration, google has many guides.

My S6 looses calibration every time it boots too, annoying :(
[Galaxy S6 General] iamhacked:
Yeah I've found it works when I calibrate, but the problem is with having to calibrate it every single time I use it
[Galaxy S6 General] AegisValour:
Do you guys think that these issues will be tweaked out by now, meaning if I decide to get now the likely hood of theses issues will be lower?
[Galaxy S6 General] zdravkodubravec:
Most probobly yes ... first devices that come off asembly line tend to have issues ...
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Had this issue with both my S6 and S4. I have to keep waving my phone like a mad man in order to get it to calibrate.
[Galaxy S6 General] omrij:
After 5.1.1 upgrade - after every boot my corporation email doesn't work. It's asking for credential storage password which I don't have. I have to revert to pin/pattern password, reset the credential storage and install the certificate again and only than I can return to fingerprint lock.

Very annoying.
[Galaxy S6 General] eum1r:
I had the issue gray lines like square,it is visible in direct sunlight,who else has this issue?
[Galaxy S6 General] :
It is because of the display assembly the battery is just behind the display unit. When you hold the phone in direct sunlight, you are actually seeing through the display assembly .
[Galaxy S6 General] xbranex:
they told me: we cant change the screen again we have already change it and put in original samsung display ! original samsung display with spec's of dust under it :) great job samsung
[Galaxy S6 General] likhon02:
i have got a second hand galaxy s6.. i think it has every defect a samsung phone could have the display has thin gray lines only visible at dark gray color at maximum brightness.. i have to literally press the back button it has low sensitivity i think that is because it has uneven glass, glass is not centered there is gap between bumper and glass.. multitasking button has weird lighting issue some part of it does not light up so i turned of the capacitive button lights.. and volume buttons are clunky !! anybody else got these kind of issues on their phone ?
[Galaxy S6 General] sofir786:
Haven't got any of those issues, the volume buttons and lock button are responsive and click, capacitive buttons light up and sensitivity is pretty good. Sounds like your device has had some work done on it, maybe repairs which were not done properly.
[Galaxy S6 General] mosespl:
I had some of defects.... i had problem with screen( tiny Grey lines) also my Home Button was very clunky or sonething and when i shock my phone left right there is a big noise from back camera (probably ois) and my light sensor in big sun my screen was like christmas tree(software problem with dpd roms?) My phone is second time in repair... after first time only screen has been replaced.... we will see after second time if everything will be ok...

Another issue that is cropping up is that some of us who have the G920I version are plagued with random "soft reboots". Still searching for an answer on this.
[Galaxy S6 General] Dark5tar:
Please comment on my screen tinting/ colour shifting issue here http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/uneven-backlight-yellowish-hue-half-t3085887

It's not that major, but just annoys the perfectionists in me.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I have the same model, no reboots here. No crashes. No lag. Works fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] demonwind:
It is pretty major. I'm surprised anyone could be okay with that.
[Galaxy S6 General] Pure+:
So quick request for you guys? I'm switching to the regular s6 from the edge and I was hoping you all could post your country in which your device was made. With the edge a lot of issues were on devices made in Vietnam or wherever and the good phones came from Korea.

Also what color phone you have?
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Mine is manufactured in Yately, UK. Its the 920I version in pearl white. I had very bad luck with black and blue nexus 6s last month so I got a white s6. Lol. It has nothing to do with the color but maybe i got white for good luck.. My device is perfect. No tints no uneven colors. Camera is perfect.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
So when you say screen is perfect? Is there no tint what so ever? Are the whites crisp. Or more cool or warm. Just so i know when ive got a good one:)
[Galaxy S6 General] robertkoa:
Lol. My least favorite color for a Phone but I would l take it for a perfect one.

Metro PCS has ONLY white ones and since Metro already has VoLTE on all LTE Phones I am wondering if it is identical to Tmobile version or if has slightly different software/ firmware from Tmo version = no battery problems...

Congrats on perfect-:perfect Camera must be pretty amazing on this Phone.

On Z3 Compact cameras and speakers are very different from one model to next...
[Galaxy S6 General] genetichazzard:
Mine is absolutely flawless. No colour shifting what so ever.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
It is not cool or warm. Just perfect normal white. At all brightness settings there are no non uniformities. If you hold the phone at full brightness with a full white background and move the phone at small angles in different directions you will see a peach glaze on the glass moving all over the screen. But thats just the digitizer glaze not the screen. The colors are perfect. No bands or uneven patches. The glaze is present on the screen always but its only noticable if you look really hard. The glaze is present on every display.. Laptops and tablets.. So it isn't a flaw.
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
Any pictures of the 'peach glaze'?
[Galaxy S6 General] NumberTwoinQQ:
You should get a replacement imo
[Galaxy S6 General] :
It's difficult to capture on camera. And it's not a defect. It's a normal color shift on most of thr screens. Use a white bg and full brightness and move the phone at various angles you'll see it
[Galaxy S6 General] trenzterra:
I still don't get what you mean, but regardless, I feel really envious of you. I'm contemplating buying another S6 again to try my luck (I sold my old S6 away), but feel that I will NEVER get such kind of luck.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
How to check where your phone is manufactured. I remember reading somewhere but can't recollect.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jarrive:
Hey guys. I am used at my previous S4 to set the call quality for "clear sound". On the S6 this option "personalise call sound" seems to be missing. Any workaround? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Congrats:) good to know there is perfect ones out there with nice whites. Here goes try 3:)
[Galaxy S6 General] iGordy101:

Samsung phoneinfo at Playstore

Sent from my SM-G920F
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I feel you bro, I got a nexus 6 last month and it had an awful screen. I replaced it and the replacement had a vertical band on the screen. Other guys in the forums who brought the device from the same retailer got good devices without flaws. Finally I decided to return the n6, shell some more cash and get the S6 from an official samsung store. Prebooked, and I just got lucky. Lol I remember at one point of time I was so fed up of amoleds that I decided to buy a N5 or a Oneplus one.. but somehow I just took a chance at the s6, and the samsung store guys were really good to me, they gave me a demo, I even unboxed the phone checked it for about half an hour at the store for defects and then paid them the money.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Night clock will be a trouble on any amoled device the digits may burn in to the display as the rest of the pixels are off. Wouldnt take the chance of a burn in.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Good luck to you bro. Hope you get a perfect one.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Or you could just see the back of your device where its written.
[Galaxy S6 General] iGordy101:
I'm pretty sure that is not the case.. but Amoled supposed to stay of (dark) but mine sort of glows only when using night clock
[Galaxy S6 General] Ave666:
Nope. Mine, at the back case written made in yateley UK but at phoneinfo stated at Vietnam. Maybe material assembled in Uk but final product from Vietnam
[Galaxy S6 General] Pure+:
Look on the box. Should say it where the imei and all that info is.

[IMG="Burn-In?"]http://i.imgur.com/MdKEIsg.jpg[/IMG]

I refer to this image now.

I got the S6 3 days ago. I noticed those "patterns" on the second day. The funny... and really FUNNY part is: Try to look even closer in broad sunlight. I can even see "lines" of little, cute, asian cat drawings (like in Manga or Anime). More in the left center / center of the screen. Therefore: I think its a burn in from some display test or presentation. Cant really get my head around this. This is really a first timer and totally unexpected. An eternal note in my book of smartphone fails (and I am really unlucky in regards of getting good smartphone models).

Since those 3 days, I noticed the following issues on my device:

- The described phenomenon above

- very warmish display, plus gradiant tint from yellowish (top) to purpelish (bottom left). Its not very dominant, but for one who is sensitive about it, immediately noticeable (like me)

- home button is loose after 2 days of use (started yesterday afternoon) and makes annoying clicking sounds if i slightly tap on it (not pressing it down).

EDIT: Oh, and I started to get a pink discoloration (slight) on the whole top bar display edge, like a fine line.

Will take it for replacement tomorrow. This is driving me nuts.
[Galaxy S6 General] reubenskelly1992:
Youve got really bad one lol. Seeing a square on the screen in direct sunlight on high brightness seems to be normal. Seems to be at extreme brightness And in direct sunlight you can See the panel behind
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Yes exactly, same on mine. But cut kawaai cats on amoleds aahahah.. that is funny and sad at the same time :D
[Galaxy S6 General] crobo:
I also have the lines at direct sunlight but i dont think its a big deal.

i noticed something else. When you look at a white screen under a big angle. There is a spot at the height of the power button. It's like some hardware part underneath the screen is pressing the screen. when you look at the screen straight forward you dont see anything but i'm afraid that in the long run the touchscreen wont recognize touches. (Had touch problems on my LG G2)
[Galaxy S6 General] tommaazz:
Is any of you guys having problem with the flash diode always on? You have to check it in very dark room...and it is still emitting some light even if the phone is turned off...i am waiting for replacemetn but i doubt that it will be ok...such a mess :mad:
[Galaxy S6 General] vegetaleb:
Most probably a software problem, did you do try a master reset, update to latest FW or simply flash a custom rom to fix it?
[Galaxy S6 General] tommaazz:
No i have had everything on stock but i doubt it is a software related...you can only see the glow in completely dark room but it is certainly there and i think that the logevity of the diod might be in danger if it is under constant current...i hope the exchange doesent have the same problem but the more i read the more people are having problems
[Galaxy S6 General] JDM9499:
It glows on both my wife's and mine too. It didn't at first, but after upgrading to the latest firmware I noticed it. Even after a factory reset, it still glows. I called T-Mobile customer support, and out of the FOUR listed known issues, a glowing/always lit flash diode was NOT one of them. She did a Google search while on the phone, saw that people were having the same problem, and called up Samsung right then and there. We had a group meeting between the three of us, and Samsung customer service said they were NOT aware of it being an issue. Samsung placed us on hold, and even asked the manager. Not a known issue at all. They created a ticket for me, and said if the problem persists to call back. Geeeeeez.

:eek:
[Galaxy S6 General] tommaazz:
i was hesitate at first but then it was eating me from the inside :D and i couldnt get along with such a nice phone and pricey and with a bug (or hardware issue) right out of store so i decided to make a complaint...now i am waiting for the service to acknowledge the problem and give the green light for exchange...but i am affraid it will be also present on the new one...i am also seing that the topaz colour is starting to appear and i might go for that colour...
[Galaxy S6 General] :
No pressure spots on mine. The lines are there.. but its almost on every s6 so its not a big deal.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
It is not an issue. It is the way it is. It is on every s6 out there. some materials glow in the dark due to the elements used in the flash. Switch off your phone and check it. It will still be glowing.. when any device is powered off the current is removed from the motherboard so there cant be any current leaking. Hence, we can say that the material is glowing, and it isnt a hardware flaw. No kernel or update can change anything that is made to be the way it is.
[Galaxy S6 General] tommaazz:
I dont know but why others are not having the same issue? I am almost 100% it is not the material and that the something is leaking because the glow is strong in dark and also the s5 seems to have similar flash but there is not a trace of glow...and also the clock hands which glows if you light them they glow stronger for a few mins but here as i tested the glow was the same...
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Samsung cant do this to us, waiting for their official word on this. Also, I hardly give a rats ass about the flash as long as the phone is functional..
[Galaxy S6 General] tommaazz:
Yes i agree with you i didnt have any other problems with the phone but i was thinking why would i pay for a new phone and have a defect and also how long until the led dies and they will have to replace it (and open the back)? Hell no...the money is not growing on the tree...if the replacement is having the same issue i will want my money back and wait for a month or two to have the phone without deffect. Go to the troubleshoot area there is many more guys that have this issue...on international, american models,...
[Galaxy S6 General] :
what if it will always be like that on every galaxy s6 samsung makes. From what I know there is no single s6 with the flash off properly. What if after 2 months this "issue" is still the same. Led's can work continously without malfunctioning.. I dont think the flash will burst or stop working. The phone is beautiful. many people are reporting other "actual" defects like pink tint screens, uneven whites, wobbly home buttons, scratches on the screen. I wouldnt take chances for another phone and get one with an uneven screen or improper buttons. At this point I am really tired of everything in the market. we pay so much and we dont get what we want.
[Galaxy S6 General] tommaazz:
I dont know what i will do if the problem persist...i will wait for the official response from samsung to see whats up and then decide what to do...but i have talked in the froum on my country with the person who has the s6 edge and he insists that his led does not glow and is completely off if not in use...we deserve official response from samsung ASAP
[Galaxy S6 General] TealRice:
I also have the lines on my galaxy s6 gold, but it looks jagged. My is curved and i thought it was a result of me dropping in 5 times on the first day i had it (with a case of course). I asked for a replacement because it just boths the hell out of me (ocd on anything i recently get).

how would I get Samsung to fix a problem if I bought the phone in korea and have it on the AT&T net work
[Galaxy S6 General] gotwillk:
bluetooth issues.

specifically issues with bluetooth earbuds, Jaybirds Bluebuds X. just tried using them for the first time outdoors today with the phone in my pocket while walking to the train. it kept stuttering every few seconds while listening to spotify. it got so bad at one point, the bluetooth just switched off. wtf? so i thought maybe it was that adaptive sound thing causing issues so i switched it off. i even unpaired, turned off bt, and repaired for good measure. still skipped, but it wasn't as bad as before.

i did some solid googling for the past hour and didn't come up with any solutions for the S6 but i did find Note 4 users having the exact same issue. so maybe its a Samsung thing? i never had any issues on my LG G2 or Moto X2. i tried the suggestions people made, turn off wifi, clear bt cache, unpair/repair but still no go. some seemed to think its because of the low cpu usage while the screen is off. its so low that its causing issues with keeping the bt connection stable. others seemed to think its only when you're outside that causes the skipping, while its fine indoors. this seemed to be true for me. i tried it while at work at my desk and music played fine. but when i'm outdoors walking around with the phone in my pocket, its crap.

anyone else having this issue?
[Galaxy S6 General] demonwind:
What kind of light do they use? UV I'm guessing. I'm wondering if we can fix this issue at home.

Install an app called phone info and that will tell your manufacturing date.

Anyone else getting a major delay when opening picture messages using the built-in Messages app? My phone takes between 4-8 seconds to open pictures .

They open immediately when using the Messenger app from Google, but Messenger doesn't wake the screen up when a new message comes in, so it's not really a viable workaround.

Any ideas?

I screwed up my phones stock camera apk. Can anyone upload the stock apk? Or atleast just the .odex files.. Those are what I'm missing which is what I think is causing the crashes on launch. Phone is SM-G920W8
[Galaxy S6 General] Stan3k:
I have both the lines and the small pressure spot (although I have to look at the screen at an angle in direct sunlight to see it) on my S6 too. Glad to see other people have the lines; happy to live with it if it is a common occurrence, as it only appears on full brightness in direct sunlight.

Touchscreen problem.

When I lay down the phone on a flat surface e.g. table or bed, the touchscreen isn't always working.

Example: when i put the phone on the bed and i want to drag the notifications down it doesnt always recognise my touch. But when i hold the phone in my hand then the phone does recognise my touch.

Anyone else that has this problem?

Two problems here that I'm hoping can be solved with software update.

Light sensor not working as it should. Or it is bright or it isn't.

And less than 500 ram avaliable?!

About the light sensor CPU Z shows 0.
[Galaxy S6 General] PMDColeslaw:
Just FYI, I was having the same issue when i was using a screen dimming app along with the night clock. Turning off the dimming app made the amoled black come back
[Galaxy S6 General] :
You have a faulty device. Get it serviced. Try hard resetting the device first. And see if it works. It should show some value. 0 means it's malfunctioning. I hope you don't have any screen protector or tempered glass covering the sensor. Good luck.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
This looks bad! Did you drop your device accidentally? Do you have a tempered glass on the screen?
[Galaxy S6 General] :
I guess that is common. I use the google messenger. Not too worried about the screen not glowing.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Will update the thread. :)
[Galaxy S6 General] crobo:
I had a standard plastic screenprotector but removed it to see if the problem would still occur. Unfortunately the problem is here even without a screenprotector. I did dropped my phone yesterday but the problem was there since day one I purchased the phone.

Now I'm going to do a factory reset and if that doesnt help I will go to my carrier store. I will keep you updated.

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

Hi the pressure spot is very difficult to photograph, at least with my standard compact camera.

I made this to explain it a little better:
[Galaxy S6 General] :
Hey I just checked mine again, plain white background, full brightness. observed the screen from all possible angles, no pressure point on mine. the screen is uniform as it should be. If it bothers you a lot get the device replaced.
[Galaxy S6 General] :
You have the touchscreen issue too, go for the replacement, clearly there is some major issue with the screen.
[Galaxy S6 General] crobo:
Thnx for the advice.

Today i performed a hard reset to see if the problem would disappear, but it didn't helped. So after the hard reset i went to the carrier store to see if i could get A replacement. Unfortunately they didnt had any s6 in stock. I'm not totally sure if i will get a new phone (replacement) because I have some damage on the corners of the middle (metal) frame.

While I was waiting in the store I looked if the demo model had the pressure spot but thankfully it didnt.

So two things can happen:

1. my screen will be replaced/repaired.

2. I will get a new phone (Repalcement)

I hope for the last
[Galaxy S6 General] migueli2:
Hard reset didn't solve the problem.

It's like he only have 2 stages, brighter or darker.
[Galaxy S6 General] migueli2:
Shouldn't a faulty light sensor don't work at all? Cause mine have like 2 positions. I thought a software ou driver update would fix it

3 positions just confirmed it.

At interior light, under hight light artificial or sun and at dark ambient.

Are you sure CPU-Z don't need to be updated?

Cause I made some tests and this seems like the app can't read the sensors.
