*#0*# does not work on the Verizon version.

Skinneejay's post (see below) is definitive proof, IMO, that this is a hardware problem. Samsung is not going to replace the accelerometer chip unless that is what was broken. On Sprint (and I think Verizon), they have rolled out a software "fix" that will make the screen rotation work but this...

When I used the fast charger on my first 2 S6 edge, the phone got extremely hot to the point where I thought something was wrong and indeed it did break it. My 3rd phone does not get that hot when I use the fast charger. At first, I thought it might be some app causing it but on my second phone...

Can you not just take the phone back to a Sprint store for a replacement? Thank goodness I got mine at Best Buy. They replaced the first 2 units with no problems. I'm on my 3rd one and it's been working fine for over 17 days (knock on wood).

Samsung says that it's a problem with Android? Whoever you talked to does not know what they are talking about and I call BS on it. Android does not interact with the low level hardware directly. Android has to work with a variety of hardware, including tablets. Samsung must provide the low...

The charger itself is not the problem. It's a manufacturing problem with the accelerometer chip. Some of these chips are failing at a high temperature. This type of manufacturing problem is not unheard of. It's not Samsung's fault unless they also manufacture the chips. The heating problem is an...

To be clear, the *#0*# hardware test program reads the accelerometer chip registers directly. There is no drivers/API involved. Therefore, since the registers (sometimes X & Y, sometimes only X or Y) are stuck at all bits on (32767 & -32768) there is no software/firmware fix possible. If the...

How long did it last?

The hardware test program via phone app (*#0*#) tests the hardware directly and reads the accelerometer chip values. Therefore, there is no software/firmware fix that is possible. You will have to replace the unit. I'm on my 3rd S6 edge, and so far (knock on wood), it's working for over 24...

This is a hardware issue with the accelerometer chip which seems to fail after a fast charge which heats up the battery and nearby components. This cannot be fixed via firmware/software updates.

As swiftkick2dnuts already posted, when you use the phone app "*#0*#" to get the hardware test, it shows that the accelerometer is not functioning properly. It took me 2 days to figure it out but it is definitely hardware and no software/firmware will be able to fix this problem. My first unit...
