Hey,
Is it possible to replace the s6 edge battery with the s7 or s7 edge? I know the connector is in a different place but wouldnt if it was possible to fit it in?
Thanks,
Alex
Yeah it probably would work if you can make it fit, though I am not an expert at the batteries. All I know is that replacing the S6e battery is a big job considering you'd have to remove every screw and unbox the entire phone without breaking it.
No it won't work easily... This trick can be done with the normal s6 but the s6 edge uses a different battery. The connection is on the other side and comes from under the motherboard back up on the side of the phone. Just look it up and u will see. If u can find a battery that's kinda the same as the stock s6 edge I'm willing to try... I haven't found one yet sadly.
I've got a lot of experience with repairing phone and done tons of s6 and s6 edge screen and battery replacement. But I'm afraid this mod is not possible in a nice way at this moment... Maybe the s8 battery ?

Note 4 edge or the galaxy s6 edge? I really can't decide which one to get. I was wondering could you give me a little advice.
It depends on what you are after. If the curved glass is the biggest draw, I would go with the Note 4 Edge. The Note uses a separate but seamless screen for the curved edge and the Note has better curved screen functionality and curves more. The S6 edge is only slightly curved and just uses the main screen. This is a problem since there isnt any room to put apps on the GS6 edge. Also the GS6 edge screen notifications use the entire screen. This means functions like night clock light the entire screen with its backlight (like looking at a black wallpaper with the phone on). The Note 4 keeps the main screen off during edge only functions. Not to mention the Note 4 Edge still supports an sd card and removable battery and the battery life is great. The only real con of the Note 4 Edge is the plastic back and the asymetrical form.
With all that said, I have a Galaxy S6 Edge and I love it. It looks amazing and is fantastic to hold. I am not a fan of plastic at all and the metal and glass really compliment each other. I wanted the latest internal specs and this being Samsung's jump into 64 bit and built in wireless charging, I decided to upgrade from my Optimus G. Since money wasnt a big factor to me, i decided on the Edge over the regular. I decided not to get the Note 4 Edge since its too big for me and still more expensive than the GS6E. That beautiful, beautiful curved screen is the main reason I got it.
So it depends on what you value. If its visual appeal and newer hardware, get the S6 Edge. If you want a bigger phone with better removable and better battery/sd card and actually want to use the edge screen instead of just looking at it, get the Note 4 Edge. Hope that helps.
Also I think this is the wrong forum. You should post to general and not accessories.

I really liked the thought of the night clock until I saw it light up the entire screen. However the sports ticker that uses the same curved portion only lights up the text and not the whole screen. So it can be done, just I think they need to fix it or something.
I have both and like stated above it's just what you want out of the phone. The note edge is a beast and I prefer it over the s6 edge for functionality. One thing I don't like about the s6 edge is I find myself barely touching the other edge and messing up a lot of texts where I don't have that issue with the note edge. But the s6 edge is such a great looking phone and performance wise it's better. Also the camera is a beast by a little. Maybe it's because it's new but I've been using the s6 edge a little more because if the feel in hand. I am a little disappointed in the lack of the edge usage on the s6 but it makes sense because of the screen size.
Generally,both are the ultimate phone and could meet all your daily use, it depends on if you're a fan of big screen.
If you can't wait,go for galaxy s6 edge,sleek design and superb specs.. I have S6 Edge and it's worth it..
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.

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)
Still no zerolemon extended battery means I am not really "invested" into this phone and the fact that I cannot use the fingerprint scanner (I have tmobile) if I have a case on the phone is still frustrating.
I am ultimately going to switch to the note 6 when it arrives but I am pondering switching to the S7 edge for the time being. I had a note 4 edge and liked it, however, going from the note 2, note 3, note 4, V10 I am worried about the size of the S7 edge.
The always on screen of the S7 and the relative uselessness (customization and such) of the V10's 2nd screen means the only thing I am really going to miss is the dual front camera. Other things about my V10 have just been pissing me off lately, like requiring a restart for the phone to begin fast charging.
Not a rant session, just surprised I am considering a change to an S series and wondering if anyone else had made such a change and how you feel.

Zerolemon battery is coming soon.. It says on their website.

Zerolemon came out yesterday.
For what it's worth, I don't think I could ever go back to such a "small" phone! I'll stick with phablet size! (I'd buy a 7 inch if someone would make one that was worthy! I almost always use a headset and it would still fit in most of my pockets....)

Almost preordered the Tmo S7 Edge...but saw this V10. I'm very happy with it. Its my first flagship device.
I got the V10 the first day it was out and was pretty satisfied. But there is just something "off" about it. Coming from the best phone ever, the Note 3, I was happy to see the V10 was a spiritual successor to the N3. I also was able to cash in on the extra battery and charger, and a 200gb microSD which will obviously be used with my new S7 Edge. I still have the Note 3 in my room to control all my devices and AC so losing the IR blaster in the S7 isn't as big a deal. Little things like the fingerprint scanner not working with a case, text input after a call being super slow, weirdness with Wifi calling and sending texts/mms with no service. I'm also a huge fan of a physical home button, which I only realized after it was gone. Camera is great on the V10 but all reviews are saying the S7 is at least equal to if not better. Second screen was pretty cool at first but being an LCD instead of an AMOLED turned me off with the bleeding that occurred on the side of the 2nd screen. Speaker quality was an issue as well.
Not worth the downgrade.
I ordered a silver S7 edge from tmobile. I love my LGV10 but with its flaky data connection, headphone jack issues and lackluster screen I went back to samsung. Plus, where the hell is marshmallow? I will use it as my work phone as the manual settings for camera is top notch. Unless the S7 offers the same.
I personally don't feel the need to switch.. Ir blaster is a life saver for me.. Plus I like switching batteries since I am a power user.. Going to to stick with the v10 for at least one more year.

Pulled the trigger and ordered it. The inability to use key features like the finger print scanner and the fact that you can open the camera but not take a photo for 3 seconds on top of the screen bleed just put me over the edge.
Ill use my 200gb SD in my S7 edge and will figure out how I want to manage the battery (worst case is I buy a battery case for anticipated use).
I am thinking on switching myself to s7 edge. I think they should up date this t-mobile V10 but I am tired of waiting so i guess I will jump soon as the edge is in the stores. This is supposed to be a Flagg ship phone but it's never been updated in close to 6 months of being released.
If I do switch to the S7/Edge, I'll miss the DAC. It's so awesome on this phone.

Sold my V10 this morning and my S7 Edge will be here next week, I got fed up of waiting for LG to finally get round to MM and to the Bootloader Unlock they promised for the H960A
I don't get postings like this. How is it relevant to a phone? Why all the discussions every time a new phone comes to market... Hey will you upgrade to G5, S7 G6 S8? You're obviously not sure if you should update. Then don't do it.
100%
Because of:
Bad software support.
Locked Bootloader.
Shame on you LG, our LG V10 H960a Still dont get any update
The LG v10 is rootable on tmobile which brought this phone to life. Battery is solid and changing the DPI is awesome. Camera is super hard to beat on this phone, especially in dark places like a bar or nightclub. the bigger screen is prob the best part of it.

It's also funny how they bring up "Locked Bootloader" HuH? Umm LG didn't lock the bootloader because it want to. It locks it because the carrier wants it locked. The AT&T V10 has a locked bootloader and so will the Samsung S7 from AT&T.
Thread was helpful - it was also posted in the s7e forums. Being "unsure" does not mean you should not make an attempt to determine one way or the other. Perhaps these threads always pop up because it is a valid question? Why participate if you don't have any feedback one way or the other? I have ordered the s7e and will update with impressions after using it and no longer having my v10.
