out of the box s6 edge cant hear caller! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

I was so happy to learn that my brand new phone did not have any screen rotation issue and I updated ASAP so I would avoid that.
so I recieve a call from my wifem and...I cant hear her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
speaker works fine, no bluetooth connected, I have diabled everthing from blutooth to hd calling, to popping out sim card to factory reset, davik cache...low battery mode, I am stressed out..I cant use my old s4 as a phone now and Im am tired of thinkering with this new phone that is broken.... after reading about so many crappy stories and having had an s3 note 3 s4 now a edge s6..I am totally stressed out.
I dont see anyone else experiencing this..I guess I am off to the store tomorrow..
sigh............................!!!!!!!!! wasted hours trying to correct it

factory reset is what i would try

What version are you?

I am on the latest update. ( on general thread marked june 2nd update, I compared it and its the latest one as I got an update as soon as I started the phone.
I factory restored 3 times, the high def. call, on - off, google now "okay google" off
repeatedly pushed speaker on/off, was never hooked up to bluetooth but did that and tried on and off, plugged headphone in and out like 5 times....sigh ..
was loving it SO much until I noticed it was having this handset problem, if my wife hadnt called me I would have not known til today..
funny thing is my retailer told me that these phones are having LOTS of problems...I told them well not the gold ones and hopefully mines from vietnam not china....
I didnt have the screen rotation problem, I dont use it anyways. I almost feel like the retailer jinx'd me...
was LOVING the gold....

Any idea why my screen looks like this? (Snow?)

So this is the second time the screen on my Tilt has shown up as just scrambled snow. (See attached Pic)

This is the second time it has happened upon resuming my Tilt from sleep. The only way to correct it is to soft reset the phone. Not a huge deal, but it is a little unnerving to resume my Tilt from sleep and see that mess.
The first time it happened shortly after installing the HTC Album viewer (can't remember the build). So I quickly uninstalled it.
I have since then installed a newer build of HTC Album (which is a really nice app, when it works) and have had it installed for a few days. Sure enough, today this screen showed up again.
Has anyone else seen this before?
weird - i havent had that happen to me (yet? :S)
I had this happen once after just getting the phone. I hadn't changed or installed anything at that point
i have had this happen once to me, when i flashed a new rom it gave me this screen after the boot up screen, waited and tried soft resetting and hard resetting and reflashing and nothing could fix it so i just reflashed a different rom and never saw the problem again, maybe try a hard reset if you arent too worried about settings?
Edit: i have a Tilt
For those that have seen this screen on your device, do you have Tilts or TyTn IIs?
Well I had it after installing some game, that seems to didn't support the tytn II stuff.... In normal work it never occured to me. I Would also suggest hard reset, maybe an app screwed it up...
If everything above doesnt resolve the issue, i will suggest take it back to the vendor you got it from and get it replaced ..

faint text and images w/ bright white screen

Exactally one day after I received my replacement 8925, the screen on the new device died. The screen almost looks like the contrast is maxed out but I dont think that is the problem. I can barely make out the today screen if I strain my eyes.
I double checked the power options and the backlight is set at the midpoint. I have also tried soft resets and removing the battery, neither seemed to work.
My first 8925 suffered from the RLOD failure. FYI - both the charger and battery are different from what came with my original. Ill try to remember to take some pics tonight if you guys are interested.
Please help! I really do not want to have to send this one back too.

screen locked
today
found this on the HTC wiki, it's a much better description of my problem but there was not a solution posted with it.
"My tilt phone screen unexpectedly became very white, with the icons almost appearing as negative images. There seem to be a few lines that run across the screen that seem 'burned in'."
here is the rom, radio and protocol data if it matters.
1.57.502.2
08/25/07
1.27.12.11
2.45.88.07H
anyone?
I have the EXACT SAME problem with the tilt I've been using for TWO HOURS. My screen looks exactly the same as yours.
What ended up happening for you?
Anyone have anything to contribute?
Arranged to send it back for a new one. Really hope this doesn't happen again.
I've the same problem. My phone felt down and then it happend. I've checked all powertape's connecting screen keyboard and mainboard. It look's like screen problem.

Mi A2 bootloap and fix

I'm have very bad problem, after march security update, my phone goes in bootloop(screen freez), but i have luck, oem onlock, and after bootloop i'm unlock bootloader, and crytical particion, but my luck goes to end. I can't flash fastboot rom, after 15x time flashed, 2 time after 20 times of flashed, 2 times was successful, but did not want to lift the system to the end, and it was constantly getting back to the beginning on boolocker unlock screen and on android one logos, once it was upgraded, but wi-fi and sim cards did not work and very slow work(last update). I have tried all possible combinations, and nothing is left, 95% of the cases flush the rom without end time goes 800sec+.... What i can do?

Okay, i had this problem! I know there is no logic behind the solution I'll offer you(or maybe there is, i just don't know about it). I faced the bootloop issue after updating the security patch of may. i came across a post on the mi forums! Someone said to install the update then before hitting that restart option, you are to eject your sim card! It should work as intended! Then when phone updates, reinsert the sim card! Trust me! It worked for me!!

Fingerprint scanner issues

I had my original ROG Phone 3 sent in for a warranty repair, they were unable to fix the issue so they sent me a new one. The fingerprint setup is skipping over where I actually touch the scanner to add a fingerprint. I have included a couple screenshots to show the screens I'm seeing when trying to add a fingerprint and some other relevant info, I am on android 10. Anyone know what's going on? I really don't want to send the phone into Asus as my first experience was insanely horrible. They tried to make me pay for warranty work then they broke my phone trying to fix it and wanted to send me the broken phone back when I refused bto pay for warranty work. Then they tried to send me a 12g model when I paid for the 16g. After 2.5 months of all these issues I finally got a new (or refurbished idk) 16g model, but fingerprint is jacked up. I wasn't able to find anything by searching but I may have been using the search feature incorrectly. Searching on Google lead me to a few different Asus help chats that seemed to always lead to manually installing the fingerprint software update somehow or factory resetting the phone. I have factory reset the phone already. Here's a link to the Asus ZenTalk thread I posted too.

For anyone that is watching this. I just found out from someone on the Asus ZenTalk forum that you can type ".12345+=" into the stock calculator app. That opens up a feature that tests different hardware within the phone. I tested the fingerprint scanner this way and it seems to be working, so hopefully it's just a software bug that gets fixed with future updates.

Problem with purple tint and shadow/mixed background on Note 8 Exynos.

Hello all,
As the title says, I bought this for my brother couple of years ago and now it's showing a purple tint (very obvious when running on white background) and also its like I'm seeing a double image in the background-specifically the image, in this case a guitar, as seen in the back; like it's burned in. Is this a serious issue and can it be fixed? Took it to a store and the guy, immediately told me change screen and it will cost almost as much as a new phone. Just wondering if there is another solution.
Thanks, Gary

If you purchased this unit 2nd hand, chances are the display has burn-in damage. You could try this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mert.screenburnfixer&hl=en&gl=US) to see if it will help with the burn in issue. Please note that you should run it for about an hour.

Thanks for the answer. It's from a shop, not 2nd hand. And it happened after 2-3 years of use but not extensive. Talked with Samsung customer service they told me the guarantee is over so nothing can be done. Told them it wasn't my fault if you have faulty hardware that triggers after x amount of time that YOUR machine broke down. It never fell from his hands or anything. Anyways I'll try that app though from what I started reading online, the problem seems to be consistent with many same model phones.
