Sorry in advance if this has already been covered but I searched extensively on Google and this forum.
Basically, I'd like to dull the touch sensitivity on the curved edges of the S6 Edge. I keep inadvertently selecting things. This happens a lot when I'm using the phone with one hand.
I love the phone and it's design but I only got it for the aesthetic quality of looking like a cool phone, not the functional aspect of the edge.
Glad you asked this question. I'd like to do the same (reduce sensitivity at the edge)
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.

Hello, did you ever find a solution for this? I've been looking for the same exact thing (lighten the sensitivity right at the edge).
As you mentioned, it is especially bad when using the phone with just one hand. Whenever I stretch my thumb across to press the screen on the opposite side, I ALWAYS click the screen with one of the fingers gripping the phone. It's quite annoying.
If it matter mine is rooted
Thank you.

Thats why I got the S6 regular. The edges are so useless.

So other than the edge people, edge light thingy, notifications and nightstand, what does the edge display actually add to the device?
Is there any functional use?
When you're using the device, can other people see the display better than they would if you used a flat screen phone? So is privacy compromised because people can see your display from the side?
Is there any 3rd party apps (root or otherwise) that utilise the curved screen?

The Edge has very little use bar people edge or night clock but that might change as development continues.
As for the time being its aesthetics and dam does it look good

It's stunning. And it does feel extremely immersive when compared to those "flat" phones too. I haven't had a problem with screen privacy, the edges aren't that big. But the aesthetics are just.. Damn. And I also use the NightClock routinely. There are also upcoming apps on XDA, I already saw Music Controls for the Edge screen
But you won't truely understand the Edge until you tried it yourself, trust me

I have tried as i own one lol or was that kinda aimed at other prospect S6 Edge owners.
Yeh i was blown away by the S6 Edge what a beauty and yes until you try you wont get it. Watching videos and reading is so immersive and such a joy to hold and look at.
The development will continue to further enhance the edge utility. But on looks alone it was well worth me opting for it over the S6.
I couldn't justify the extra £7 per month for the edge so today I got the standard S6. Though I am kinda thinking I made the wrong decision and should get the LG G4 instead.
There's not much other than looking really cool. I forget about the contact thing, I never lay the phone down on its face, so it doesn't light up with the contact color, but I do use the edge clock at night. It's pretty cool and doesn't really light up the room.
I tested both S6 and S6 Edge before ordering the Edge. The Edge screen seems to have no bezels because of the edges. Indeed the image is different and it looks even better than the screens with very small bezels. I just felt that the phone has only up and down bezels and the image stops at the edge of the screen.

hi guys.. need some opinions here.
im using s6, & about to change to edge.
my main concern on edge :
1. the color bleeding & glare/reflective right at the Edge, is it very obvious?
2. read that edge max brightness on manual setting is much lower than s6. would that be problem?
3. both on same size but due to edges on both sides, does edge main screen appear smaller on hand/use?
would like to ask on handling, but guess it is a bit less comfortable than s6 right..
4. that pink effect that were said here (didnt came across on any review), can claim on warranty or not?
5. is auto rotate problem still exist? also, read that edge has connection/drop call issues, is it serious?
also i would be thankful i you guys can enlighten me on any other issues that plaguing edge but not on standards s6.
read/watch so many review & it seems s6 is a better version,
i also have no issue with s6, just that i like edge's beauty, so wonder if that is worth some tradeOff?
50/50 & having a 2nd thought while i'm about to change tomorrow..
trying to read some more.. yet to finish 1st thread here.
thanks a lot guys, really hope this wouldn't be an inconvenience to others..

The only problem I've had with my Edge was the rotation issue, but Sprint swapped out my device on 2 different occasions. Other than that I haven't experienced any of the other defects, I think it depends on which variant you get too.. The screen might feel smaller to you at first but the 3d effect the curved screen has gets me every time. It truly is a beauty to look at.

Got mine April 6th and have been loving it since. My biggest gripe is with the RAM management problems but that's a touchwiz issue.. Hopefully Sammy gets their **** together and fixes it because I'd like to be able to switch between more than 2 apps without getting a goddamn refresh.

yep.. 80% used even when nothing were going on..:crying:
ill make the switch & hopefully wont get a defect one...
if anything, the looks of the edge should overcome any isues its having .. :laugh:
appreciated bro!:good:
I have not used the regular S6, but I've had my edge for a month and it's been great.
1. No color bleed for me and only the slightest glare in direct sunlight
2. No max brightness issues, can read the screen any time of the day
3. Can't compare, but the edge is not uncomfortable
4. Adaptive colors sometimes changes the color temp and gamma to warmer tones, but I've never seen the screen "pink"
5. Never had an issue with rotation or dropped calls.
I think the only other issue is that you'll titling your phone a bunch just to check out the edges. It's stupid, but it's also neat to look at that screen curve down.
If the edge cost the same as the regular, I don't think you'd be reading as many gripes about the edge. I think a lot has to do with justifying not paying the extra $$$. For me, the edge was the only reason I considered a galaxy phone in the first place as I was a nexus/moto user before this.
Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/s6-edge-problems-issues-list-t3120819
So I've been having a think about stuff I use my phone for most while I'm considering the S6 Edge or normal S6.
I love how the Edge screen looks in daytime when I've seen it in a store, but last night I was in bed reading pocket on my S4 as I often do...pitch black, pocket in night mode with white text running close to the margin on a black screen, and I suddenly thought hold on isn't this going to look really weird on the Edge?
Am I worrying about nothing? How does the edge screen look for reading text with zero ambient light where you can see only the screen and not the handset as a reference point if that makes sense.
If someone could upload a pic that would be awesome
Not that great, actually. To be honest, the edge is something I would elect not to have on the long run. Perhaps the regular S6 would have been a better option. Two months in, this is what I've realized. This is just my opinion though and I'm sure most would disagree.

Any chance you can expand on your reasons for that?
Really struggling to decide, love the Edge, but worried I'm not gonna love it for a whole two year contract.

Two main reasons: grip and glare. The grip of the S6 is amazing compared to the thin metal rail of the edge. It makes the phone look super thin (when it's actually thicker than the flat S6) but the handling takes a big hit. The S6 just feels better in the hand to me. Also, it's impossible to use this phone in landscape mode unless the room is pitch dark. Glare comes off both edges. I don't know, it really comes down to preference. I know people who wouldn't trade their edge for anything. To me it just feels like a gimmick, something I can easily live without and that it's absence would improve other elements.
i don't think so..for me this is so stylish and i don't have accident touches.. there comes no glow here..the night clock mode is fantastic..the edge is not that functional as it is on the note..but much nicer look..
Hey guys,
I'm torn between the S6 & S6 Edge. I read a review that the S6 Edge curved display effects visibility obviously because it curves away from the screen.
Can anybody comment on how bad this is as it's the only thing putting me off at the moment?

There is some glare/reflections on the curved edge, however for me personally its far from an issue.
Some may find this more annoying than others but dont let this sway you away unless this very slight issue will irritate.
Good luck

I couldn't have said it better.
To be honest, i don't watch movies etc on my phone at all, occasional youtube videos.
Appreciate the help guys.
Can't wait to get my hands on it, I had the S3 from new and it died from SDS (eMMC failiure) and so I bought an Xperia Z dirt cheap (worst phone in the world)
Just purchased the S9 + and the first thing i notice is the screen is a huge finger print magnet which to some might be expected. However, Iam coming from an Iphone X (which Samsung made the screen) and its far better at hiding your finger prints!
Seems strange that Samsung have arguably made a better all around display for the opposition then they did for their own flagship!
I don't notice the S9+ screen to be particularly bad in terms of fingerprints. The back, for sure, but not the screen. No worse than any other phone I've used.

I guess its not that bad but when compared to my iphone x . The Iphone def comes out on top! Its just way superior at hiding fingerprints! I actually had no idea how good it was ay hiding them until i used the s9! I have also noticed that the Iphone display looks better under sun light / day time in general! The samsung screen is glossy and shows reflections more making the display just a tad more difficult to enjoy under sun light then the iphone!
Iam astonished that the s9 display is considered better then the iphones to be honest! Even video playback on the iphone x is better!
To each his own. I have no problem using the S9+ in bright sunlight, no issues with fingerprints and videos look great. You do know that Samsung makes the iPHone X screen, right? Same technology.

Yeah iam aware of that! Thats why iam slightly surprised! The S9 display is great! Its just that it has a more glossy finish compared to the iphone x so my own experience has been that the iphone x hides fingerprints a little better and performs a little better under sun light also!
I just looked really hard at my S9+ (which I've used all morning), and I can't see anything that looks like a fingerprint no matter what angle I look at it in the light. In fact I deliberately mashed my finger on the screen, and couldn't see a print left from that either. Maybe my fingers have dried out .

Even under light? Thats nuts! I see lots on mine! Its no worse then most devices. I just personally found the iphone x to handle things a little better which surprised me as the display is made by samsung
Some people have reported the lack of the olephic (or however its spelled) coating being not there or coming off shortly after purchasing the s9/s9+. If you take it to a Samsung store or send it in, they reportedly replace the screen and affected people aren't having problems after that.

Its not a huge issue! I dont think i would send it back and i would doubt there is anything wrong with the coating etc Its actually fine but im just pointing out that the iphone x is def better when it comes to finger prints! The s9 display is alot more glossy / shiny so it reflects everything and under light can make it a little more difficult to read text etc when compared to the iphone x but its a minor enough issue for me personally!
What a troll gtfo
