Hello, could you let me know witch is the function for the microphone on the top? I don't know if I dameged it and I know witch test I can do to test if it works fine. Please let me know. Many thanks.
The microphone on the top of Galaxy S6 is mainly for active noise cancellation.
This microphone will also be used when you use the voice recorder.
Many thanks for your reply... i tested the microphone on the top using the vocel function "ok google" during a lot of noise and it works.
Could you tell me how to have my "Selfies" automatically flip? I do not see an option on the galaxy s6 edge plus.
Open the camera app, switch to front camera, tap settings, turn off saved as previewed.
Where is the antenna that Samsung pay uses using the loop pay technology for magnetic card readers? .
There is no special antenna for Samsung Pay. it uses NFC antenna, But it does not require NFC in retailer's POS because Samsung pay uses own (bought from loop pay) Magnetic Secure Transmission. Technically, it only requires NFC on your mobile device and some software.
I use smile sing and have always been able to monitor my voice through the headphones while recording. I can no longer hear my voice on the 6 edge how do I fix it ?
You should check it with the app developer.
Hi my s6 edge lost its edge style. The icons became too big and the screen doesnt seem to be normal. All of my icons became big it feels like im using a different phone. The edge effect doesnt have that much look anymore
Did you switch to easy mode? Switch back to standard mode in Settings--easy mode.
In addition screen grid may also affect the size of icons. But it should not be so dramatically.
My 6 edge won't turn on or charge and has a rattle if you shake it
Did you try the key combinations in this guide?
if none of them works, you probably have to visit local Samsung service center because it could be a hardware issue.
I couldn't update latest firmwear.how i can update.by manually can update.if it is how can i update by menually...
On the PC, you can install SmartSwitch for PC, connect S6 to the PC with a USB cable, start SmartSwitch. Your S6 should be recognized by SmartSwitch program and you can then update the phone through PC (SmartSwitch).
Please note, it has nothing to do with SmartSwitch app on your phone.
Sir
My S6 edge has problem with mic, when i call to other person by activating loud speaker then the other person cannot hear my voice. But i can listen the voice. Pleae tell what is the exact problem? I already reset this by opening system setup.
Does the mic work normally when you don't transfer audio to the speaker?
If yes, you can try to reboot the phone to see whether it helps.
Which hardware parts are used for mobile data and signal please? Is it one of the blue or white cables inside or the metal parts on the midframe chassis? Thanks
The antenna is always inside the phone. It's near the bottom of the phone indicated on the area of main antenna under back panel.
My mic on my s6 edge has stopped working. When I try record my voice it doesn't work but if I tap the end of the phone it picks that up can you help please as the phone is only tree weeks old
First, you need to make sure where the mic work. You can try to make a call to test the mic. If it's not working, you have to visit local Samsung service center to check the phone.
If the mic works for phone calls, but not voice recording app, very likely, you messed up the permissions for the app. When you launch the app first time, it should ask you where you want to grant the permissions to access mic and storage. You must grant the permissions. You can reset the app in Settings - Applications - application manager - voice recorder. Tap clear cache and then tap clear data.
Any idea where the cover magnet sensor is? Is the one that tells the S6 Edge + that the cover is closed. Mine doesn't seem to turn the screen off even though the cover has a magnet.
The magnetic sensor is located close to sim card slot. But usually it doesn't matter.
Can you please tell me how to screenshot? I held the power and homescreen buttons simultaneously but it didn't work
