Flash always on?

[STEVESKI07]

*Update*

Went to BB to get the update. The samsung bloke did know of the issue, however the software update was not pushed to him yet. He also alerted me to another issue affecting only T-Mobile phones. Apparently 20% of the S6 devices have scratches from the manufacturing plant UNDER the screen. He showed me, and I have two long scratches about 1inch or so underneath the glass. Called T-Mo and they are sending me a replacement.

Oh the joys of being an early adopter!

The scratch issue only affects T Mobile phones? That seems odd...Maybe theirs all came from a different plant?

how can you tell if you have the scratches? Must have not been obvious since he had to point them out .. do you have to hold the phone in a certain way under light? Or ...?

Also curious, did TMO ask for extra payment for the replacement like they did for me (see upstream post)?

It was pretty difficult to find them. I looked over the phone meticulously and did not notice it. Screen Off > Look at bottom half of phone > tilt the top of the phone downward. It was easy to see when he did that. I ran my nail over it, and never felt a scratch. Dude knew his stuff!

I was told they are refunding my first tax + SIM payment, and was asked to just pay for taxes to get the new one shipped out.

I've had the phone for two days now and saw something odd with the flash. In a dark area you can see it's on. The light is very faint, but it's continuously running, wether it's charging or not. Are there some glow in the dark properties to the flash I'm unaware of?

I have the same problem on my Samsung galaxy tab A 2017. I have had it for about 9 months now and have just noticed a faint light in the middle of the night coming from the flash. Dont know if it was like this from the factory or if it has just started but i dont have Google fit.
