Samsung is reportedly working on bringing Android 5.1 to the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge, and that’s good news, but some owners aren’t all too happy with the Galaxy S6 edge right now.

According to a growing number of Galaxy S6 edge owners, the Galaxy S6 edge is suffering from auto-rotation issues. The reports are starting to build up in the XDA forums, as well as Verizon Wireless’ own forums for the handset. According to these owners, after using the Galaxy S6 edge for a bit of time, auto-rotate simply stops functioning.

The issue seems to continue to plague owners even after factory resets, and one owner says that a Samsung customer service agent was not aware of the issue, or if Samsung had any software plans to fix the problem.

It’s been discovered by some owners that the X axis on their Galaxy S6 edge is registering as stuck, which is leading many of those affected by the problem to suggest that it isn’t a software issue at all, but rather hardware.

If you have a Galaxy S6 edge, are you experiencing any of these issues?
