[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldmort:
Hello all ,

I just got my S6 edge a week ago and here I have some questions I wanna ask the older owners about . Most of the points may have been discussed before . I did my best to reach a final point in it but at the end , I thought I would share my thoughts with the adepts here

1)the first and biggest concern here is the heating issue . I read a lot about how this phone can get hot . some says this is normal . some says it isn't . some went and got a replacement which were good . some still have the same issue after all . here is my experience . the phone really gets hot so so fast . even while doing light - normal tasks . I always get it so warm after few minutes of normal use. if I continue using it for more minutes , it can reach a level where it is so unpleasant to hold or even unbearable . Numbers wise , from the Samsung phone info app , when the phone is just boot up the phones chip set temperature is 40 degree Celsius . after I did some lights tasks like updating some apps or downloading some themes , the temperature crazily jumped to over 70 degree Celsius !!! by then the phone was really hot and is hard to keep holding in your hand . I tried what people said solving this problem like factory resetting and clearing the cache put no way . it still does the same thing :( so is this normal ?or I need to get a replacement ? in my opinion , reaching 70 degree from such light tasks is not normal at all and on an extended manner this could damage the internals

2) I noticed that in almost all the transition and scrolling animation , there is a stutter or frame skipping when the animation is done for the first time then if you do it again it will run smoothly . but since the aggressive task killer this phone has , if after a few mins you tried to scroll in your settings or in your contact list you will face the stutter again for the first time then it would be smooth as long as you stay in the app or the task killer didn't kill it . is this normal ? or it may be related to the heating issue ?

3)sadly , I didn't read the main rooting thread before I buy the phone which warns about not updating to 5.1.1 now what i know about the options I have is :

- I can root but with tripping the KNOX fuse which will permanently void the warranty

- I will lose the functionality of the fingerprint scanner as long as I'm rooted

is this true ? or I can root without tripping the fuse ? and with rooting I will always lose the finger print scanner ?

4) after I updated my phone and it said it has the latest software , I downloaded smart switch and tried to connect my phone to it and surprisingly , I found it saying there is a software update !! which totally the CSC from OG8 to OH5 and the PHONE from OGE to OH2 . why this happened ? and how the phone didn't get that there was an update ?

5) from the last point , is there any reference that briefly explains the breakdown of all the build number , PDA , CSC .. etc values and its meanings ?

Finally , sorry for the long thread but I really think that this would be the best place that I can get opinions and advice from more experienced users

Thanks in advance
