I have got into a very strange problem, touch key lights and auto brightness of my galaxy s6 edge are not working, I have re-flashed the stock marshmallow rom many times, even before flash, factory rest it.
All the sensors are working perfectly in the test service menu. but respective functions are not working.
Then I downgraded from android 6 to 5 lollipop, and i lost the test service menu after it, now *#0*# not working even.
Then again upgraded to android 6 and still the service menu not working, And today i found that the audio jack is also malfunctioning, If i put the handsfree phone gets shutdown immediately or it dosent works. The songs plays in the loud speaker.
Roms downloaded from samfirmware.com .
Flashed using odin.
Sorry for the English.
Try flashing the modem and bootloader for your specific device, then go into recovery and do a manual factory reset and see how you go. Little weird for things to be doing that. You might have damaged your device fm with downgrading and upgrading
Im having exact same problem ?

Hi, I'm having a curious problem with my S3 and I've been unable to solve it. I watched the "noob" video and tried searching these forums as well as a google search with various combinations of the wording for my problem. Nothing matching my issue turned up, I hope I didn't miss anything.
I recently bought a S3 second hand (yes, i know, i should have known better). It was rooted and running some kind of custom ROM when I first turned it on, but I was willing to deal with it until I double checked the procedure for getting it back to stock and starting again myself (nothing against the original rooting and flashing, just like to know exactly what I'm running).
When I purchased the phone I obviously checked that all of the main things worked - calling, texts, mobile data, wi-fi etc. I get home and connect to my home wi-fi and start checking things out and setting stuff up. The phone randomly rebooted. I carry on after the reboot and about 10 mins later, another restart.
To cut a long story short, there is something wrong with the wi-fi. If I turn off wi-fi in the settings menu and reboot, everything works great. No crashes, no reboots. If however I enable the wi-fi about 50% of the time it will crash while wi-fi is activating. The other 50% of the time, it will crash as it goes into the screen lock (either via timeout or pressing the button).
I've re-flashed to it's stock version of Android (using the 'Samsung GS3 Toolkit and Odin), same problem. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance
You can try updating the modem and RIL to the right version for your country, search in general forum. If it still reboots then try with another wifi source - I've seen some routers cause problems on client machines.
If you do a factory reset when you flash the modem, plus you have the latest stock ROM on board, then any remaining problems are probably hardware.
Test it fully after the factory reset, before you add any apps etc.

After much experimentation and flashing of various files to my phone I have further narrowed the problem. I've still not solved it, but getting closer I feel.
After a clean ROM flash it works like a charm regardless of how much i use the wifi etc. It's only after the first reboot that the trouble starts. It will begin randomly restarting. If I perform a factory reset from recovery mode, it works again, but starts resetting again after a reboot.
Any ideas?
I hope someone has some experience of this problem, I will do my best to explain in some detail.
It is as out of the box currently running version 4.0.4 firmware.
The history, initially stock firmware version 4.0.3 was running, the USB was a little loose, so I swapped the complete pcb with another S2 I have with a faulty display, to make things a bit more complicated I also put in a 2Gb SD card, when I rebooted the problem appeared, on pressing the power button to wake up, the screen comes on to the lock screen in dimmed mode, and it will stay like it for anything from 5 to 15 seconds, then the screen will go to full brilliance and the screen can be unlocked.
What I have tried, removed and rebooted with sd card removed, swapped back the original USB pcb, and swapped back again as the problem remained, also upgraded to firmware version 4.0.4, that is more or less where I am now, the problem remains.
Have tried researching but unable to find anything relating to this problem, do you have any ideas?
Update:
After further reading, it appears the original firmware may have been customised, because I was not able to get Kies to connect with the device and the CSC was stated as 'unknown', which from what I have read indicates a custom ROM.
Having flashed the stock firmware , on the recovery menu I get still the message #Manual Mode# Appling Multi CSC.... Applied the CSC code: XEU Successfully applied multi CSC, which was also present with original firmware but it never actually applied the code as it stated CSC 'unknown'. but I can now connect with Kies and the CSC code is stated as I9100XEULPA.
Is it normal to get this message at the recovery menu?
Is it a symptom of the same lock screen delay issue?
Solved
I spent 6 weeks trying to fix this, the most aggravating of problems are sometimes very easy to cure when you know the answer!
Disable auto brightness, easy, your long wake up delay has now gone.
Let me know if it helped you.:good:
Hello, Hopefully some one is still checking this forum that can help me. I got a DNA with CM 11 on it, while I wait for the first Verizon snapdragon 820 with SD card, as my LG G2 started failing miserably (dead spots in screen and no loger connects to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth)
I wanted to clear it out and to go to a 5.x.x ROM. so I made my backups and went to the 5.1 google play edition ROM and fastboot-ed the latest firmware as instructed in the post. at first the capacitive navigation buttons seem to work, but in about half a day they become flaky and sometimes work and sometimes don't. whatever app I am in at the time seems to work fine, just can't exit without the nav keys unless I reboot or force another app to open from the lock screen. I have also tried a 5.0.1 and and now on a stock ODEX debloat 4.4.2 all with the exact same issue. I use TWRP and do a factory reset in TWRP before each flash. How is this issue following the flashing of each ROM? Any one have any ideas for me to try?
Thank you
Hello everyone,
My S6 EDGE on Lollipop:
Does not work light sensor , always set in full brightness
If I upgrade to Marshmallow or Nougat:
Light sensor gets fixed
Fingerprint / Lockscreen stops working
Wifi does not remember passwords after reboot
If I turn off Wifi I can't turn it back on unless I perform a reboot.
Testing the sensors on service menu all of them work
Tried cyanogenmod / lineage os , same problems
Do I have a defective unit although everything looks like it is a software problem
Any ideas? besides factory reset, clear cache, safe mode, etc.... all tried to no avail....
Thanks!

I had the brightness issue once. It was always full and would flash from dim to full brightness constantly. And as i remember i flashed carhd custom rom which fixed the issue.
My s6 edge sensors are not working.. using *#0*# the values i get are all fixed none of them changes
Proximity gyro light barometer all of them are stuck
When i tried to flash the official stockrom downloaded from sammobile, it stopped in the end of flashing at hidden.img error.. i tried to solve that by extracting the hidden.img file and flashing it again(alone) which worked i.e my phone started and everything loaded.. but still no change on sensors status.. they are the same
Smart switch also stucks at 98% saying there is problem with your s6 edge.. so is it the software issue that my sensors are not working ? I mean the flashing process doesn't complete successfully as i stated earlier i do it manually, Also there is crackling sound coming out of speaker sometimes.
Is this all related to software or hardware problem
