Isn't the point of the edge screen to provide you with the extra information that you want WITHOUT interfering with your main task? I attached a couple screen shots showing how the edge covers some main screen real estate when deployed. Is there a setting I can tweak to adjust the width? Is this functioning as designed? Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks!
When the edge screen is out, yes it takes a tiny bit of space from the main screen.
But you have it backwards. When the edge display is closed the main screen is going over the curved edge .
Thanks for your reply. You're right. What I guess I really want is a way to make the main screen (slightly) narrower. After playing with it all day, though, I'm used to it.

I agree though it can get in the way. Say in this case
If I'm typing something and notification pops up. I has to get use to not hitting the edge bar cause then I'd leave the app I was in. It was very annoying at first.
But life is about adapting.

Around the notification bar area, touch the screen hard. Does your screen feel like its clicking in like the blackberry storm? I have a problem and I'm wondering if it's only me

no mate i cant feel anything like that on mine...
I don't have any clicking going on but there is a noticeable amount of give. But I think I might already be taking it back cause my screen has an abnormally green hue to it. IDK?
My screen has a slight give to it, nothing i would worry about, chances are because of the curved glass.
played with a couple other NS's and they did the same thing, dont trip
Sorta feel silly for asking and posting this but its bothering me lol. The dots on the top that show what screen your on when you swipe left or right. Well i thought they faded out when you swiped to a screen and stoped. Mine sre there all the time. Did or do they fade out or am i losing it? I installed a home app and uninstalled because it messed things up. If the dots did fade how can i turn this back on? Also was looking around for away to do a factory reset but cant find where to go? Thanks for the help

This looks like a home app feature. Check the preferences of ur home app. Need not reset phone when tinkering with ur home app can do the trick. If ur home app, does not support it u may have to switch to a different home app that has this feature.
On stock touchwiz forthe captivate the dots do not disappear.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Have stock home not using an app. Its what came with phone. Someone doesnt know were i can find where to mess with home options? Thanks

The dots don't disappear for a reason. You can tap on a dot and go directly to that page without having to swipe through them. That's why they remain visible.
You can't make them disappear, no matter how hard you try haha. If your looking for customization I would suggest ADW.launcher or launcherpro. Both are on the market and I really enjoy both. If you have other questions feel free to ask

Just an FYI, if and when and depending on how the Froyo update comes for the Captivate, if you are running a non-stock launcher you may have issues getting the update.

When ever my screen goes black in been opening apps or websites, I notice that there are lighter spots or smears, but they only show up on the black screen. Does anybody else have this, and or know what it is? besides on black screens, it really doesn't affect anything, but I worry it might get worse

Do a search for "blobs"
There are quite a few posts on it. Some phones are worse than others. Both of our skyrockets have small identical blobs

Sadly after 5 sr phones now having some sort of issue I don't think you will find a cure all solution that includes keeping the sr
The lines drove me crazy . . The blobs (in my case) I never see

The lines are driving me insane as well. The blobs are noticeable in clockwork mod in the dark. I see like a bunch of black dots on my screen everywhere.... Damn.. is Samsung planning on fixing this issue for our phones?
They say they are "looking into it."
I only ever see the blobs on otherwise black screens if my eyes are very dark-adjusted. One example is if the phone is off and charging, and I wake it up (but don't turn it on) in the middle of the night.
That is: the blobs are the next best thing to a non-issue for me. The lines are a minor annoyance that I can ignore easily enough under almost all circumstance.
Both exist though, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. A little disappointing to be sure.
I've found that the best way to evaluate your phone for blobs is to take your phone, set it to the lowest brightness setting, use the Gallery to display the color #101010 on it, put the phone in a dark room, then use a DSLR camera on the no-flash setting to take a picture of it. You need to have NO light at all coming from anywhere else, so a closet or internal room with a counter works best. It'll take about 10 seconds to capture, during which the phone and the camera need to be perfectly still.
Ignore the green tint - it's a side-effect of the overexposure.
My results:
Phone 1: My mother's Skyrocket, purchased about a year ago.
Phone 2: My Skyrocket, purchased about 6mos ago. I gave the link for this image to an AT&T Rep in the Warranty dep't, and got an RMA ready within 10 minutes.
I have just received a refurbished nexus 5 and i noticed a rather distracting blemish on the screen under the glass (on the status bar to the left of the wifi icon), it's not a solid colour so i don't think it's dead pixels, it's more of a shadow and it's barely visible when the phone is in landscape but flip the phone portrait and there it is.
I have never seen anything like it before so it would be interesting to find out what it is and if i can fix it easily myself.
Sent it back and get another

It's a defect, don't waste your energy trying to explain it further. Send it back for a new one.

I have been waiting a few weeks now for the place i bought it from to get in some new stock but they haven't as of yet.
It would have been nice to know what the defect is and if it's easy to fix so i know if it's worth taking it in for repair
Is there a way to flip the edge panel 180 degrees by default? It just seems like it should be flipped
Sent from my SM-N915P using XDA Free mobile app
I wish! Makes no sense the way it is, especially when the night clock is the right way up but nothing else is.
Only thing I have found to work (temporarily) is to open an app that can be rotated, then turn your phone so the edge is at the bottom, and then shut the flip cover. Now anything on the edge is the right way up. But as soon as you open an app the right way up again (or go home) then it goes upside-down again.
This is for those people that do not bother to go into phone settings. Go into the edge panel settings and check the box that says FLIP EDGE PANEL 180 DEGREES...REALLY????

Where is that option?? When I go to Edge settings there is no checkbox for flip panel 180 degrees! Are you in left-handed mode or something? Any chance of a screenshot please?
Believe this is only for use with screen rotation. Maybe you should try it first before you claim you kno what you are talking about. Tried to insert screenshot but isnt working
