samsung galaxy s6 edge: Can I get samsung s6 edge to come out of ODIN MODE?

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 05:56:30 -0700

My phone will not switch on. I have tried to press the volume up + power + home key and also volume down + power + home key. My phone only goes to a blue page which says 'warning.. A customised os can corrupt your phone etc...' and 'press up to download' or 'down key to cancel and restart phone'. When I press down key my phone does not restart, just turns off and will not power back up. If I press the volume up key it will turn to a page saying downloading and will stay stuck on this page for hours. I have tried a number of combinations but nothing has worked. I cannot plug into a computer or go into samsung as I am on vacation on an island. I also cannot pull the battery out as I have a s6 edge and if I do unscrew it will void my warranty. Can anyone please help?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: Is the glass replace-able seperate from the LCD?

Can the glass be replaced without replacing the LCD panel? If so is there anything to be aware of when doing so?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: Is it possible to replace just the glass on the S6 Edge?

Thu, 28 Feb 2019 00:21:44 -0700

I cracked my glass within 3 weeks of buying my S6 Edge and I was wondering if there is a way to replace just the glass. Not to brag, but I'm a real techy guy and I've done other screen replacements in the past. I did a glass only repair on the s5, and from the pictures I've seen, the lcd is bendable on the edge. Will this still use LOCA glue and a UV light? I've got the tools, I'd just need to buy the parts. The glass is very cheap but the lcd and glass combo is over $200. Just wanting someone else's input before I go into something that could be way over my head. Thanks in advance! :)

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: "Battery Temperature too low" when charging after water damage

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 09:11:05 -0700

Hello, my Galaxy S6 Edge shows "Battery temperature too low" when trying to charge, doesn't matter if USB or inductive. It had contact with water so I think this might be the reason. I checked the temperature with an app and it always shows -20°C. Does somebody know what to do? I have already repaired some other phones but mostly just Display replacement or something like that. Do you think changing the battery would help? I also read that there's a temperature sensor but I can't find any replacement parts for that one.. Thanks in advance.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: Touch screen not working?

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 02:33:15 -0700

So I broke the screen on my s6 edge and the phone worked fine for a while. I lent it to a friend and when I got it back the phone wasn't booting. I did a hard reset on the phone and it boots but the phone is not picking up any touch input ? I've done a factory reset from the image by holding

home, volume down and the home button, I've even put a new screen on and there is still no touch. I know the phone isn't freezing though because I'm able to navigate it with a mouse. Anyone got any ideas?

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: My S6 Edge can't keep up with my typing

Sat, 20 Jan 2018 15:15:41 -0700

This problem is intermittent, but I cannot stand it when it happens. Usually, I type pretty quick. But sometimes, if I type my normal speed, it skips tons of letters and changes those words to others that were nothing like the one I was typing. It is SO frustrating. It makes me type at what would seem 10-20 wpm. It's like Samsung installed a typing speed limiter. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If so, are there any fixes? Is it hardware? Software? I've seen only a few other posts over the internet, and no answers yet. I don't know if it changes/helps anything, but I cracked my glass on the bottom left edge. The touchscreen accuracy is still right on. It just sometimes has a delay that completely screws up my typing experience.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: Microphone not working after charging port replacement

Wed, 12 Apr 2017 18:27:29 -0700

Hello,

I have changed the microphone / charging port on my S6 Edge. Now the microphone is very fuzzy and people can barely hear me when i'm talking over the phone. Everything else is working fine. The repair went smoothly as I've fixed quite a few of these before.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm guessing it could be different rev. numbers on the part. Although I binned the old one and cant find out which version it was.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
