I missed a phone call today because of the lag time (to answer) and I find the Edge variant has actual lag compared to the Note 4... I'd love to turn off the edge panel if possible. Can I?
I want my original Note 4 back...
No you cant turn it off
And check what other apps you have running.
I have no lag when calls or messages come in on the edge screen.
You can go into the call settings > pop up.
And turn off incoming calls on the edge tho.

Yea no lag here either.
Mine doesnt lag. Have u enabled developer options and scaled down the animations. U can also turn off the useless s voice via home button setting to help lag out too

People originally bought the Edge for the edge feature, but it really gets in the way and uses up screen space. If you bought it, you are stuck with it unfortunately.

The curve interests me as a way to view notifications without going into the device, but does it actually work like this?
In demos so far it looks like the screen is dimmed and bar active in night mode where you can then swipe for notifications, but could you say have the bar always tell you how many of X type you have and then you swipe to view before deciding if you want to go in I wonder, this could be an actual useful feature for the edge for my use.

I don't than most know yet, but since they are leaving it open source. Other devs can program different things.
Now people have the phone, wondering if they could update oh this.
Phone is still on desk with screen off. An email arrives. Any edge action?

Text messages show up on the Edge even when the phone is switched off but it also wakes up the main screen in the process. I noticed if the fingerprint lock is activated then you just hear the sound but dont see any notification.
I have also set other notifications but it doesn't seem to wake the edge panel. If the phone screen is turned on, notifications show up on the edge screen otherwise not. This annoys me buy hopefully firmware update will address these issues.

I seen some videos and it seems to suck. You have to turn the phone to read them.
There should be a update to set it ti work like a normal android. Only time will tell.

Yeah. An example, at night I received a message from ebay the notification sounded but the phone stayed asleep. I could rub the edge screen and it would display it in scrolling action with other notifications.
It seems like a software issue though. Hoping for a fix soon.
On our list of things to make a separate app for
Im about to be coming from the Galaxy S5 side of the world. My brother got a OnePlus One and made me want to get one so he just gave me his invite.
Only thing that may bug me, is the notification pulldown where the phone info sits when you are on a call. I use my S5 heavily, almost exclusively for work. Im on 5-7hrs of conference calls a day on this and I heavily use the notification pulldown to hit mute/unmute many times. I know when I had a Nexus 5 that this was not possible. All it had was an end call button. I attached a screenshot of what my S5 shows. It shows options for speaker, mute, and end.
Any way to modify the stock ROM somehow to allow for this? Or better yet if there was a way to maybe set the volume button (say if both up and down were pressed together) that you can mute the call and again press it and unmute. Coming from a Blackberry about 2-3yrs ago, this is the biggest button I miss (don't get me wrong, I don't miss the Blackberry AT ALL). I just find both Apple and Android devices haven't fully got into the business side like how Blackberry at a dedicated mute button.

Check out 3rd party phone dialer apps. There's some good ones that I'm sure have this ability. I don't remember the name though.
But the stock rom have all these options that you want !!!! When you call sb, there is option to mute, speaker, end call etc.
You have all these and more has icons at the bottom of the dialer screen when you are in a call.

He wants it under notifications, not on the call screen. I guess he multi tasks while he talks on the phone?

That is correct, Im on conference calls a lot, like 6-7hrs a day. I check emails in the middle at times or have documents up to read on the phone when Im not in front of the laptop. With the Galaxy you got the options right in the pull down like the screenshot shows to Mute/Unmute the call without having to go back into the Phone dialer. I don't think Ive seen this on even on HTC/LG, I know its not on the Google Play versions, so that somewhat really put me off when I got a Nexus 5 and then couldn't deal with it on being able to quickly mute/unmute, so ended up giving it up and moving back to the Galaxy line of phones.

Hello everyone, after updating my at&t note edge to lollipop i have one issue and one concern...
The issue im having is that when i answer a call using the edge screen, im not able to put it on speaker mode nor on mute, how can i fix this?
And the concern i have is using the whatsapp app... for some reason i get a notification when my screen is on (when im using my phone), and i can dismiss it and everything... i looked into the whatsapp settings but notifications on the screen are all disabled. im thinking its a new setting on lollipop but cant find it.

I had the same issue. Although after the update my husband can just tap the icons as usual, the update forces me to to press/hold it and slide up (to turn on) and down (to turn off)...DUMB, I know...but that's the way it goes. I hate it so much I bought a new note edge and have vowed not to turn on wifi to prevent the automatic-forced-down-your-throat-update to lollipoop---no typo; the update is POOP!
Hope this helps you!
Am I going crazy, or is there no way to stop notifications from waking the screen? Everytime I get any sort of notification, my screen wakes up to display the notification on the lock screen, and then goes back to sleep a second later. I would like to turn this off and it drains battery.

I've noticed this happens to me when I receive an SMS, but nothing else. I don't think this is the default behaviour. Do you have an app installed that maybe does this? LightFlow?
Well I did install Snaplock for a hot second but I've since uninstalled it. Maybe it changed some setting somewhere that I can't find?
Any help for this? It's driving me crazy.

I have tried to find a solution for this, but I haven't been able to. I am guessing it is just unconfigurable behaviour of the Samsung messaging app.
Yep. I installed 8sms and Textra. Both allow you to disable the screen wake. Decided on 8sms for the long haul.
Help
Ok, so I am also irritated by the same issue with the screen waking up every time I get a text. My phone is usually in my pocket, and by trying to take it out to see the text, my camera or dial screen is opened cause I touched it while the screen was on. I have tried downloading Textra, Handcent, and 8sms to use instead, but in every one of those, when I try to send a photo, it fails, and I have dug through all the settings in those apps as well. I can send them on the stock messaging app just fine.
Has anyone found out how to turn the screen wake up off yet, or what am I missing on the other apps that is preventing pictures to send?
The other thing that is bothering me is that in the stock messaging app, it is displaying a call back # on every text I receive. Is there a way to turn this off?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
-Nick
I'm also trying to find the solution to this. G920I with Vodafone Australia.
Did anyone find a resolution to this issue? My phone turns on with every notification, not just sms.
I don't have my phone on me, but check settings > lockscreen and security > Show information or
settings > lockscreen and security > other security settings > notification access
I disabled all lock screen notifications and the screen still turns on randomly. I thought it may have been facebook so I disabled notifications then uninstalled the app with no luck. This problem is very annoying to say the least, when I go for a run I take my phone to stream music etc and can end up taking a few hundred pics of my pocket; lol.
Yeah I've this problem too, samsung didn't include the option to disable it :\
Are you saying there is no way to stop the screen from coming on?
Doesn't look like you can disable it, sadly. Nothing stock in touchwiz that gives that functionality. Or am I wrong? I just searched the entire settings on my phone..

another annoyed user, looking for a solution
The inability to prevent the wake-up is annoying not only because of the instant battery usage, but because when the phone is in pocket it then causes all kinds of mispresses which lead to unintended app openings, changes, and screen staying on much longer. Samsung needs to provide option to disable screen wake on notification.
Samsung we have f#%$*ng RGB LED for notification!
Try the Screen Notifications free app
Try the Screen Notifications free app. I did and meantime it's OK. Looks it may work for the desperate people like we are....

I remember asking about this in a thread a long time. Ago. Good news, (if the other suggested fixes aren't working), I know how to fix this. First, you have to be rooted (naturally). 2nd, install another text app, I just use google's Messenger text app, nice and basic and I like it. Open that app and let it set itself as default or do it manually in settings. That step might not be necessary, but should do it just in case or possibly be left with no text app by accident. Finally, go to system > priv-app > SecMms_Delight-Open > Copy the app which is our stock messaging app and it has the screen wake function built in and paste it somewhere else like a backup folder in the priv-app directory so you know where it goes back to. Delete the app inside the SecMms-Delight-Open directory and reboot. You'll notice the yellow stock messaging app is gone from desktop and app drawer and now when you get a text, no screen wake! :good:
This annoyed me quite a bit because for a living I deliver catering orders and each time I get an order, it sends a text to let me know to check the browser for order info. So I was getting like 12 to 20 texts a day in addition to all the normal texts from friends and family. It was waking a lot!
I wish the build my edge came on was rootable. Sad face for sure. No root, no downgrade, no happy.
I'm noticing that during many of my calls, I apparently hit the HOLD button accidentally with my cheek. My proximity sensor seems to be working fine, and the screen does turn off appropriately when I hold the phone against my face. I'm assuming that at certain angles enough light gets through to the sensor to turn the screen on, and I accidentally hit the button in the corner. Anyone else have this issue? Is there any way to circumvent this? Thanks
Unfortunately i can't help but i am getting the same issue

I tried applying different dialer apps and they only serve to change the dialer/contact screens, but the default calling screen containing the HOLD button remains unchanged. I found that using Skype as the default dialer fixes this issue since it uses its own dialing/calling screens, but obviously it's not practical to just rely on Skype. So the problem still remains unresolved.
As an update, someone on Reddit posted a download link to the Google dialer app here at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/app-google-dialer-t3323432
This installs a new dialer, which actually provides a new calling screen as well, fixing the main issue. The default dialer is better in my opinion since it opens up the dial pad immediately while this one doesn't, but this is a good option at this point

even worst than calls is when you press it while watching youtube vids, i wish there was a lock of some sort cuz the music stops paying all the sudden
It's embarrassing when I put my clients on hold and don't realise until they don't respond to me. The cheek hold doesn't result in any audible sound so you can be talking for 20 seconds with the other end on hold. I love the S7 edge but I'm contemplating sending it back. I'll try the Google dialer mentioned above first though
Same issue here. I talk on the phone almost 2 hours a day and this is happening at least 1-2 times in every call! Checked my proximity sensor and it's working as it should.
Any workarounds? Maybe someone can edit the phone.apk and remove this stupid button or disable it? I am against rooting but I will definitely root my phone if there's a fix for this.
Damn, I suffer exactly the same issue! Found this googling for ideas...
Very old thread, but I just wanted to give a suggestion to others with the same issue. I really love the Google Phone dialer app, which actually replaces the calling screen during calls with this app's own screen, so you no longer have the Hold button at such an unfortunate location. If you do choose Google's app, I recommend this specific version: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-release/google-phone-2-05-07_rc4-android-apk-download/
The caller-ID function by Google actually works with this version, whereas the other .apk files floating around do not have this function working properly.
I'm having the same issue and I've installed the Google phone, however as soon as I place the call, the existing on-screen options pop up.
The option to disable the default phone app is greyed out in settings, so unsure on how to resolve.

Finally searched for the answer to this today, after several accidental holds on work calls.
The solution above with Google Phone APK worked for me. I just went to SETTINGS - APPLICATIONS - DEFAULT APPLICATIONS and then under Calling App near the top, changed it from Contacts to Phone. . For some reason, I cannot open the phone app itself (gives an error message) but calls do use the phone app rather than Samsung stock dialer.
Turn off screen!! Most phones allow you to turn screen off without interrupting the call.
Same issue with a galaxy A5 2016
Can't understand why samsung doesn't fix it
