Because now Android and Apple users have to play with each other, only the Apple users are too childish and pathetic to share.

Awesome! Been waiting for this since HTC Flyer.

I can tell that you have been away for a long time Ricky
Personally, I try not to use the filters on instagram for my pics, it can muck up a real good HDR shot.

Google Currents lags

When I open Google Currents and use it in landscape mode it lags like nothing I've ever seen. In portrait mode everything is fine.
Does this happen to someone else?
It just happens on my Transformer on my Nexus it's fine.
I already cleared cache and data.

Flipboard is good, however I prefer viewing in landscape mode. That is the only reason why I still use Currents.

Yeah, I tried to download Flipboard from the Play Store and it said not available. I'm not seeing much lag at all on Currents. It's quite a bit smoother than on my phone.

Nebucatnetzer, I have the same problem and I'm using the Asus Tranformer Infinity. Did you ever find a solution?

And the award for the fastest hijacking goes to......... "Google Currents lags" Thread. haha
I suggest that someone start a thread for what news app do you use (and please put up a poll, unlike the launchers thread, otherwise you get 100 responses that say "feedly" or "Flipboard"
Ok, back to the point of this thread I have used Google Currents on a couple different devices and its a terrible application. Its slow, clunky and difficult to navigate. Also, it takes up a TON of space over a short time. So yes, Google Currents lags.

Goes to ian1 he didn't even bother with the question.
I have no problems with currents beside the lag. Which is IMO not because of cached rubbish. I can take a video of what I mean.
The only other thing which I would like to have, is the option to hide read articles.

Google currents works very smoothly in landscape on my infinity.

So here is the promised video.

Chromecast section

I believe there's a section for the Chromecast, but it isn't possible to browse into it on Tapatalk.
Open question for anyone with a Chromcast. Is it common for the sound to get really staticy after about twenty minutes of continuous use?

when I got my chrome cast brand new at Christmas I popped it in a small flat screen and I got static as soon as a started a YouTube video.

Thank you, that's what I suspected. I suppose you get what you pay for. I'll probably get a Roku then.

its not a terrible device, google definitely needs to open source it so we can fix its problems. it still gets massive performance updates, and this static problem only happens probably 1/5 times i turn it on.

Thank you, I'll give Google's tech support a fair chance first. Although mine does it consistently, every time I use it, there may be something that can be done.

Edge Panels/Feeds

Since the Samsung Galaxy App Store is horrible when it comes to finding what you are looking for I'm making this OP to discuss/share Edge panels/feeds. If you have one that you find useful, or jsut want tot alk about them feel free to post below. I would like to see what types of extra functionality we can get from the edge besides media controls and other small things (edge feed)
I'm looking to try new things ones assuming there are more than the half dozen or so on the Galaxy App Store. I would like a edge feed for Google news, or maybe Google fit of possible.

I have there already a question. I saw in some Videos about the Phone a Football App but i couldnt find one on my own. Is there something like this?

That's also a possibility. I checked the Galaxy App Store and it doesn't have the Yahoo panels, so maybe someone could pull the files for you from their phone? If you know how I can do it, but this is my first Samsung phone in a long time

What carrier? Many of the U.S. carriers delete and/or add pre-installed apps. Especially Verizon. Might want to search on Yahoo and see if you can find anything.

Got the phone this morning and here are my thoughts on the Edge...
I'm coming from an LG G3 which is the same size screen but because of the Edge the Samsung screen is definitely small but I guess it makes the phone narrower too.
Now, on to the Edge panels...
Why are there only 5 spots for contacts when you can have two columns for other things?
My feeling is the Edge panels are just a gimmick as I have been using an app called SwipePad for years and it gives me short-cuts at a swipe and very customisable too with add ons.

But there are Zips floating around here to flash to enable it.

Seriously, are you disabled that you need an assistant?

Some people just want to watch the world burn. Ignore them, it's not an XDA thing.
There's an app on Google Play that I've tried and it works well, must be rooted though:
