@ingenious247
Will add names of the helping members frequently,
Please let me know if I missed someone's name
As someone who has the Note 5 & the Edge+, I will be happy to field questions pertaining to similarities/differences of the two devices.
May be
Question to existing users of "S6 Edge+ Plus Dual Sim model", are both SIM slots 4G/3G/2G, or is it only 1st SIM slot is 4G/3G/2G and 2nd SIM slot is just 2G ?
I use 2 SIMs, one local and the other overseas, and from time to time I will need data on either SIM card (depending on my location); it would be great if both SIM slots are 4G/3G capable then I do not need to swap SIM when I travel (for faster data).
Thanks in advance for your replies, it will help me decide on this phone.

The best way would be to use Tapatalk instead of the horribly outdated XDA app..
But you can long press the back button to bring up the menu.

So this is my very first Samsung/SAMOLED device and I read everywhere that its screen and viewing angles are pretty good.
Well, while it is good, do you guys have this greenish (slightly blueish) tint when you look at your phone at different angles?
Yes

Battery Questions :
-Who leaves there phone charging overnight?
-Dont you think it will ruin the battery? Even over time?
-If i leave my hotspot on and charge it, do you think it will ruin the battery itself? I know heat may be an issue, however i have a cooling pad so it should never get warm.
I may knownthe answer to these, but id like to be positive before i go through with it.

Perhaps at extreme angles on white backgrounds.. but that's due to the olephobic coating and nothing to worry about.

1. I always plug it in when I go to bed, never had an issue in my life (I've always done that with every phone I've ever owned)
2. No, it doesn't.
3. I have never tried that, can't see a reason I would, but if the hotspot causes excessive heat and you're charging it too, then it may increase the temperature enough to do something to the battery life since heat can be a factor if it's extreme. I wouldn't recommend it.

According to me in smartphones overcharging is not an issue. But on the same hand that doesn't means that its safe to keep our device on charge for 12-14hours. every battery has a cycle of charging. The best way to get most of your battery is to before keeping it on charge drain it till 5% and while charging don't use your phone. It is the reason why battery bulges.

Currently the best method to prolong battery life is to charge it often in smaller amounts, minimize draining it past 15-20%, and unplug it when it hits the high 90's, but the benefits from that don't live up to the pain in the ass it is, so basically don't drain your phone until it dies, don't charge it to full more than once a day, and don't worry about it. Now running hotspots while charging in the summer heat? Wouldn't advise it.

Hi,
I now have a Galaxy S3. Long story short, my Transformer Pad Infinity was awesome but was falling apart due to the quality control of ASUS. And coming from that forum to this one, its a huge difference and this is obviously way more popular. Now I have a few questions regarding my Galaxy S3 which is awesome so far btw. I have had a look around the forums and these are the questions that I have thought of plus a few of my own.
#1. Battery life: Its only had 3 charges but I haven't gone right down to about 0 yet. Is it the same as my tablet and will require a few charge cycles before I get my full charge capacity or am I expecting to much coming from a wi-fi only device?
#2. I just saw this grey notification bar thing today and how it is supposed to reduce screen burn on the screen. I am not worried about it changing to black but is the screen burn going to actually get that bad. I am planning on keeping this phone for probably about 2 years depending on money but I would like to think I am safe from the screen becoming ****.
#3. Is there a way to basically eliminate touchwizz without rooting or unlocking. I mean like replace the settings and launcher and lockscreen. I did root and unlock my Transformer Infinity too soon and that caused me to run into trouble with warranty so I would like to hang on a bit before I unlock this device to run some awesome ROMs.
#4. Any real tips or tricks or must haves for the S3 that I should have?
I think I had more questions which I may ask later but this is what came to my head at the moment.
Thanks,
Andrew
Oh yes, that other problem is that most of my apps seem to be going off the network time which is wrong. 13 hours wring in facy and not my phone time. Any ideas for that one?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
#1: I think so. The battery should become more stable and give you full battery life after a couple drain/charge cycles.
#2: I had my captivate for well over a year and never saw any "screen burn". It can be an issue but I think you'll be safe for the time you have your phone. 2 years shouldn't be a problem at all.
#3: You can change the launcher.. there are some that don't require root.
#4: Take advantage of the NFC and maybe check out S3's exclusive accessories. Not really a must have but the dongle is nothing short of awesome!
..Congrats! And wrong section btw. This belongs in q&a

A thought on the network time issue, have you change the time zone to be the timezone for Eastern Standard time? That might fix the issue. If not you should be able to turn the network time off in the settings (under date and time), I have to do this because Vodafone don't send me the time.
Yes that was my issue, thanks

The battery you need to let it gone down to zero and full charge a few times before you can get max power.
A long time myth for me which i have always been unsure about is is it OK to let it charge overnight. I have heard heat is what kills these batteries and heat is produced during charging. I think everyone does it but would just like to be sure.

And you haven't seen much of decrease in battery life? Also just ran the screen through a colour test and I notice on black it shows up as having darker blotches only visible in low light but would this be a sign of something to come? And the last niggle i hope to fix us the slowish WiFi. Pretty sire my infinity was quicker and it had more pixels to render for. Other than that, loving the phone.
P.S. turns out dark spots are common on AMOLED

hmmm. well, tbh, not that much high-end anymore. but mid-high,yes,yes indeed.
The only thing i cld complain really at this point is the screen (just resolution, not colours, viewing angles or anything else)
The gpu is still a beast, you can see that if Sammy choose to put same GPU in s3 which is high-end device.

So I'm usually not the guy that charges his phone overnight and takes it off the charger the next morning, cuz I get paranoid something is gonna happen.
Well I fell asleep last night while the phone was on the charger. When I picked up my phone this morning it was FREAKIN HOT (I mean hotter then it has ever gotten before) and the battery was drained pretty low.
Turned out that my AC adapter went defective overnight and fortunately I had a different AC handy to replace and troubleshoot.
Crazy thing is that everybody else I know charges their phone overnight too. IDK maybe it's just me *sigh* lol...

A quick question to you guys:
On average how much screen on like do you manage on your phone with around medium brightness?
I'm getting just over 3 hours, but I'm wondering if I should be getting more. My battery is 1 year old already, so it may have already lost its full capacity.
I'm also swaying between the Anker 1900mah and Official 2000mah. Ideally i'd like to keep the same battery cover.
Any thoughts?

Being using a Galaxy S2 for a year and I think is one of the best smartphones ever made. Even a year later remains one of the most powerful...and with CM10 I'm happier of having it...

If your phone freezes, I'm assuming holding down the power button to restart it would work just fine.
If your battery completely dies - send it in for service, or get a screwdriver and exchange it yourself. I'm sure anyone with an IQ surpassing the number of fingers on their left hand could figure out how to do this.
Why would this stop you from getting the device? I don't get it.
Just two screws,can even get it done

This would require an aftermarket replacement back to the phone that has contacts for (and built in) antennae that the original back contains. None exist yet, but I imagine some will.
Anybody know how to disable the low battery restrictions? I like to get every last drop out of my battery before swapping it out. Currently rooted.
You do know that letting Li-Ion batteries fall below about 15-20% on a regular basis will significantly reduce their lifespan and ability to hold a full charge.

I'm desperately trying to find the code to stop these. The auto screen dimming and low battery warnings drive me crazy (the screen dimming in particular. It makes it SO dim it effectively makes the phone in the last five percent completely useless.) If I find a way to disable it in the system, I'll let you know. Till then, I use an app called adjbrightness to force the screen back up to useable brightness when it dims at low battery. (And before any of you who misunderstand what we're talking about responds, the screen dimming that occurs at the last five percent is not the "power saving" feature turning on. We've obviously completely disabled that in the settings. It dims anyway.)

20%, 5%, 1%, it really doesn't matter.
Your phone screams "0%" and shuts itself down when the battery hits about 3V. The battery protection circuit only kicks in at 2.5V. When your phone switches itself off you can safely leave the battery "empty" for at least a year or two before it self-discharges beyond repair.
All those "keep your battery above x %" superstitions are in the same boat as the long debunked "deleting batterystats.bin calibrates your battery" myth.
well this conversation has been highly entertaining and shows the deep divide between "leave your battery to run out" or "don't let your battery completely run out" either way how one manages their battery is their business ?
About the warning sound on older devices:
1) rooted android
2) replace system/media/audio/ui/LowBattery.ogg with a still ogg file.
I hope it will help

I would like to see it becomes more stabilizing while in stand by mode for snapdragon version.
My battery life is amazing

Can you let us know if it fixes the "Android System" issue w/it taking up the majority of battery drainage?

No, it hasn't. It even introduced a new battery hog. See my thread I started in this forum.

Crazy how some peeps battery life sucks and some it's great. I've owned pretty much every higher end phone but a Nexus. S7 Edge battery life is the best I've had. Will only get better after a few weeks when I put it down. :laugh:

Agreed. Mine is draining faster today than yesterday.
I got an update today for my AT&T version also. G935AUCS2APC2 is the latest. Android version didn't change, still 6.01
seems like they changed the security settings, now everytime I lock the screen with nova double tap, I need to use the pin my fingerprints wont open it.
I'm still on the old update apparently for AT&T. Even shows me this message when checking for updates.

Additional 2 factor authorization has been enabled since the original firmware. It's nothing new but is very annoying.
My battery has been amazing. On standby I'll keep it unchanged overnight at 100 and when I wake up its around 80-90 not bad for 8 hours stand alone
