Hey guys ! I just recently bought a note edge with known history as it belonged to a friend . It's the international SM- N915F edition which is updated to marshmallow 6.0.1 . Stock original firmware . So the phone I noticed begins heating up with wifi . Just normal use would see the screen warming up and the metal rail and the back . However when the wifi is turned off , it's cool as ice . I checked with mobile data on and still no signs of heat . It heats up with wifi usage .
Did a factory reset , got a new battery , has no rogue apps whatsoever . Help needed as I really need this phone to work and pay off for its price I paid . Cheers .

Perhaps some app is constantly using WiFi or WiFi is continuously scanning for access points
My Note edge always used to get hot (65-70C) with screen on. But underclocking solved my issue, only 45C with screen on.

The one thing I haven't tried is reflashing it . And trying lollipop if that didn't work . I don't think it's a CPU issue as when wifi is off , I could run plenty of apps without the slightest bit of heating up at all .

I don't have evidence to back this up, but my intuition is that changing the battery may help
I had the same problem
I reimaged clean with
https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...ip-unofficial-lineage-15-1-rom-tblte-t3739646
With latest build! https://basketbuild.com/devs/ripee/tblte
Works much cooler.

I have that problem since i got this tsablet.
On stock ics,stock jb,cm10,cm10.1,all 4.x roms.
It happens when the tab is charging,and in weak use(did it only once),and generally when it is in use(very warm on top left of the tab).I manage to cool it down by using an laptop cooling dock,but it shouldnt be normal that it overheats,should it?
Thank you.
Me too...
Just same tab and it is always over +30 C° temperature and my tab isnt even 3 months old. And when i play it gets to 33-36. Even now writing this this feels warm. Try battery stats+ and check your temperature and compare to cloud. Its prettyweird what twmperatures others have. I have.too looked for solution and i hope someone helps us.
I have no problem at all with the temperature of my tablet. It's never overheated (except when I play games for a while) but then again, I do watch my apps. What could help is checking which apps start at boot. If you have to many apps starting at boot, it could cause your tablet to overheat due the programs running in the background.

I remove soo many apps every time I install a rom, and it kept heating up.
Other samsung device users report the same problem, and they conclude it is the software bug.
Galaxy s2 has a fix for that, but no fix for p5110 :/
I cant put my tab in a protective case because of this problem.Gonna wait for official 4.2(until september), it will probably feature the fix for this problem.
Hi I have a SM-N915G running stock 5.0.1 , I just noticed that when your phone is awake and u place ur finger on the heart rate scanner it will turn on. Also when you lock the phone/screen off and place it down the scanner will turn on again for a few seconds. I tested it with a paper still it will ur turn on any surface. I tried tapping it with a paper repeatedly it made a screen shot. After that it won't do it again....it's kinda mysterious . Maybe it's linked with battery drain? That we're unaware of.
I have an sm-n915g with the stock 5.0.1 and this doesn't happen on my one

Mine does.... . I don't know why...maybe others can relate to my experience.
There used to be bug on Galaxy S5 where when you were using Google Fit it would leave Heart rate monitor on all the time just like you described... try to turn off Google Fit monitoring if you are using it

i uninstalled Google Fit for now. It works thanks. Is this a bug on SM-N915G running 5.0.1 ? Kinda sucks .
Same Case here with SM-N915FY under Lollipop.
Problem was solved , as said earlier, by uninstalling Google Fit.
Having to much bug with Android Wear, i'm now back to 4.4.4.
Will wait for Samsung to debug Lollipop 5.01 in BOC6 firmware
Hi everybody,
I have bought my s6 2 days before and i have some serious issues on my device.. I dont know it's normal or not but i'm writing it here
1) Phone is very hot whenever i touch the device and its showing 39°-40° celsius but i feels it like above 45 c since my most other devices didnt become this hot.
2) very serious lag when transferring files through wifi direct and it restarted itself thrice in two days and 1 sleep of death
3) Heart rate sensor is always flashing when something is put behind it.
4) Device is slowing down after multitasking 10 -15 apps and having launcher redraws (feels like i'm using a device with 1 gb ram)
4) Heating when connected to fast charging.
5) Only getting less than 3 hrs sot.
Please share if someone has same issues.
Model- 920I
Fw - LRX22G.920IDVU1AOBQ
Same issue
I'm having the same issue. My phone is laggy after 2mins from a fresh restart. Its also reached a temperature of 114 °F (45.5 °C) using an infrared digital thermometer OFF the charger. It has self rebooted a few times and my brother's S6 edge factory reset itself yesterday. His mother's had battery issues and had to be replaced and his girlfriend's S6 is also laggy.
I'm extremely frustrated with this device.

Update Your Firmware:
G920IDVU1AOE3 Best to root with PingPong no tripping Knox
G920IDVU1BOE3 Latest. no PingPong root, CF Auto root tripping Knox
Your problems will be solved, first firmware for g920i is really laggy. i have installed G920IDVU1AOE3 and i have no problems with my GS6.
It must be a 64bit thing because both the g4 and s6 lag from time to time.
Sent from my SM-G920T
I just got the phone 2week back. The s6 ui is supersmooth, offcourse at the cost of multitasking (I open more than 3 apps and it restarts the app again)
But 2 days before I installed asphault 8. Was very impressed with the graphics. But after just 2 minutes of playing I notice a lot of heat near the power button area, play for around 10 minuntes and it gets very hot and starts lagging.
I have played several other games and have the same result.
I am suprised not many has reported this. I guess lot of fanboy dont want to report this.
I should have gone for the htc m9
today i bought a new galaxy s6 sealed from an electronics shop......the first problem i got was that when i turned it at language detect it was that it was running really slow and i had to double tap on everything for " ok" even at keyboard......i did a factory reset before i could even select the language :| ....ok so after that it worked fine but it still has problems with overheating by doing nothing and with batery life( it charged fast and the life goes down same as fast. had the same problem on a 2y old galaxy s4 and the lolipop soft solved it...).i got the phone few hours ago and it already has so many problems? any1 got any idea?
Return it to seller for warranty replacement. Initial experience with S6 should be fast and fluid. You may have a defective unit.
i got a new one...so i got the phone for 2 days now and the ram is always 85% usage with everything closed( the number of ram usage at datails should even be 500mb). the phone is also over heating ....i saw they will fix it on 5.1 but im not sure what to think anymore...are s6 and s6 edge rly this bad or am i being unlucky?
I have the ram issue and the warm phone. Issue . But not the slow problem mine runs quickly but battery only last like 6 hours and barley charges unless I use the ome adaptive charger. ( can't use that in m van. )
Ok can some please help me..i got confused....the first comment i posted was about the old phone..they gave me another...now this one has over 80% ram usage with everything closed..if i clear the ram it goes to 65-70% but in less than 5 sec its back to over 80. Now the thing i got confused about is that i read online they will solve this in 5.1.1...my current version is 5.0.2 and i cant update it....should i send the 2nd phone to warancy? I also saw that by rooting the phone and deleteing some stuff with file explorer would solve this..is it worth? What should i do? Thanx

Don't worry about that. RAM useage should be 85% full in android. With 5.1.1 large games won't reload in memory for no reason, but ram will still be 85% full if it's working properly.
Im really worried about that issue.. Im seriously considering getting a new device as a result.
After the last android ota update (August's I think - not sure cuz I didnt update for some time after it notified me)
My screen started to do these 3-4 flicks whenever Im going somewhere and then returning to the home screen..
(Going in whatsapp then returning.. or EVEN sliding the notification bar down then closing it and it flicks again for 2 seconds)
**The phone is in perfect condition no drops no water damage.
UNROOTED ALL OFFICIAL , auto brightness on .
Soft restart applied nothing changed.
Ive tried a hard reset aswell.. with cache wipe.. still nothing. Went into safe mode STILL FLICKS .
But if there was absolutely NO HW damage how come nothing helps (concerning software)..
What can u suggest me to try next ? Im really desperate here.. :crying:
If the problem was the update, there are 2 things you can do
1- (Recommended) Flash the rom again, using Odin flash the most recent update
2- Downgrade, also using Odin flash the old firmware (hard reset should be necessary)
yeah I thought about it but that requires a rooted device doesnt it? and I dont want to void warranty for now..

Just googled in latest update for s6 and found this, so many people complaining about so freaking many problems post latest firmware update, SAMSUNG WHAT ARE U DOING? Im getting ready to drop galaxy for good (had s , s3 & s5 before - never have the issues came CLOSE to what Im experiencing right now).
Im seriously considering selling/ returning the phone.. unless they intend on releasing a fix sometime soon..
BUMP

Wondering is it a complete on of flicker or just a britness flicker. Sorry if u stated it.
Ive seen a bunch do a briteness flicker. Ive also seen this on lgs a lot to g3 and g4 both done it. Seems to be a common issue amongst a few differ manifacs.
Never really saw any bad come from it other than annoyances

yeah exactly, its like a brightness flicker, which is actually 2-3 flicks which last like less than a second but it annoys me and even though Im not completely sure it does any damage to the phone itself, it annoys me very much, I dont think I'll be able to get used to that.
I just cant help the feeling that my brand new shinny with absolute no physical damage whatsoever (as stated above) already gives me trouble, its like 8 months old, really disappointing turn of events after a mere firmware update. (talking android 6.0.1 firmware update)
http://www.galaxys6edgeupdate.com/g...roid-601-marshmallow-official-stock-firmware/
July firmware is the one Im talking about - G920FXXU4DPGV (or G920FXXU4DPG2 - not sure exactly but its the same firmware just different names)
Im not gonna go LG ever, seen enough people with so many problems (G3&4) so no.
what are my options concerning the S6 ?

Ive had g2 g3 and g4. In my opinion my g2 was rock solid stable. Best phone ever. I loved my g3 to death. No issuse. I had britnes flicker when at low brite. G4 broke 2 screens and the light sensor went bad. Ditched it good practicly gve it away traded 3 old phones and 30 bucks for it. I got this gs6 rite. 20 bucks had some water damge cleand a flex cable and im good now for 3 months. Other than bad battery life. i love it.
Now u might try like shutting off auto brite mine was more noticeable at low level in a drk room. G3 ended up being a bug in the firmware i ended up downgrading and solved it.
Its not constant flickering like ure describing, its a less than 1sec flicking with each return to homescreen & after that 1sec it stops completely, maybe I'm just too picky u know, I just checked my mom's S5 with latest firmware of 6.0.1 aswell, it also flicks kinda like my S6 (more or less the same thing) other than that 1sec flicker I didnt come across any other issue.. (ofc battery life's not amazing but every s6 user gets and tries to cope with it) I really feel like I did a mistake getting the S6 instead of waiting and getting the S7 with the 3000mah (and overall users all over stating that the battery is astonishing compared to the S6) .. but what can I do if I have this phone for almost a year now... and about the ficker guess I'll just have to wait for Android Nougat to roll out as an OTA update on my S6..
