[Q] Who wants this amazing device?

Who wants this amazing device?
Any news on availability?

Will this phone have a screen protector? how should it applied to a curved screen? and most importantly will it get an AOSP Rom? of course a proper which uses the curved screen?

I'm teetering back and forth on what to get. I'll need to see some reviews before I can make an informed decision. With that being said I'm leaning towards the Note 4 at the moment.

I want it badly !!
Worst information, that Edge will be available only in several markets. I've read on sammobile about Singapour, Korea, US, Spain and Australia.

It will be available in the US an all major carriers.
And I'm probably going to get it as long as developer support is there. Even if it's not as prevalent as established devices.
I'm a cutting edge kind of guy and this is definitely my style.

I've been waiting for this device every since the first picture was released but after finding out VR only works with the Note 4, Edge isn't for me anymore.

Me too. I am sure there will be some good pre-launch deals but I would like to get my hands on one first to see if it's suitable, if not definitely the Note 4... but when?!!

I'm still on my Note II and I don't see any good reason to go for the Note 4, but I'd definitely consider the edge simply for it's uniqueness.
But ONLY if it gets rooted and ROM'd.
Speaking of which, someone please tell me the makers of DN3 are working on porting the Note 4's Touchwiz back to Note II! :fingers-crossed:

I think I want the edge too. If nothing else if development is not there, in 6 months I'll just get something else or just live with stock . It just seems too "cutting edge" to pass up. Note 4 is great but a little something different in form would be nice for a change.

I am really leaning towards the Edge, it just looks so cool (yes I'm shallow) and 64gb memory doesn't hurt. I'm going to wait until I can play with both phones, though. I'm not in a big hurry, my Note 2 is still going strong. Rather take some time to make my choice.

I want one badly but I'm afraid Samsung won't release a Dev. Edition Edge for us Verizon guys.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to choose between a Dev. Edition Note 4 or a locked Note Edge :crying:

I want one to but it's being said around other sites that it going to cost us almost a $1000.00. What are your thoughts.

Potentially Unique and Useful Device
I too have a Note II and it is great device. I'll probably get an Edge on Sprint contract if the price is not ridiculous. If it is, I'll probably seriously consider the IPhone 6 Phablet. The Edge has the opportunity to be a truly unique device with the help of XDA Developers.

I definitely will buy one, it s soooo sexy!!

I'm definitely buying one BUT I won't get one of the first shipment of orders, I'll wait until the xda development is established because I already know that the AT&T version will have a locked bootloader.

I love the new technology. I to wonder how much support there will be for the device The fact that the powerful specs of the Note 4 are under the hood are even a more compelling reason to grab this device.

I think the Note Edge will be great, but theoretically it should slightly underperform compared with the Note 4 because a single processor will be powering 2 screens.

I will most likely buy this device... (I am a hardcore **** Galaxy Note Fan... but... but...
I will buy the Galaxy Note 4 first for sure (first day it hits the store, without doubt... same as I did with Note 2 & Note 3... got Note 1 after about 2 months it was released)... (T-Mo Version) because it will most likely have root, unlocked bootloader and all the things we all love... and... then when the Edge comes... I will wait a week or 2... as soon as I see that it can be rooted and some dev support... I will end up buying this one too... have them both coexist for a month more or less and see how things go with each device... (development support, roms, etc...) and after a month maybe 2... will finally decide who is the lucky winner... (the looser... I will sell on ebay)
that's my story...

after seeing a video review of the Note Edge, i'm not so sure about it anymore for one main reason - one handed use. because of the screen on the right side, apparently its very difficult to use with your right hand without accidentally activating and/or pressing something on that screen. I'm a heavy one-handed/right-handed user on all my phones and this is a big deal.
I guess I'll have to get used to using both hands (of course its required when it comes to using the stylus)

ROMs for the S6/S6 Edge

Can we use them in unison, or will there be 2 separate forums, one for S6 and another for the S6 Edge? I'm betting more people get the regular S6, but the S6 Edge looks wayyyy to sexy for me to pass up so I think I will be getting that. I'm worried though that there will be little community support for it... but if we could use regular S6 ROMs then it's not a factor at all, buut if we CAN'T use regular S6 ROMs, then it's kind of a big deal lol.

There is already a separate S6 and S6 Edge forum. You are in the regular S6 forum now.

OP wants to know if there will be unified development for them (Flashing S6 roms on S6 Edge or vice versa).

Yes, there are two sections, this is for regular s6, but there's people who takes about s6 Edge, I don't know why.

If samsung were to do themselves a favor, they would use the same rom for both the S6, and the S6 edge. I think there are only a couple of additional features the edge will have that the S6 won't. I hope sammy does a
If samsung edge then
samsung edge feature
end if
(I'm a VB guy, not a Java or C guy)
It would mean updates could roll out to both devices in tandem, and S6 roms would work on the edge, and vice versa. But I'm sure that won't happen. I'd like to be wrong, though.

Roms will be easy to port between the two, but it's unlikely you'll be able to directly flash a regular rom to an edge.

No, you're wrong, I clearly stated in the OP if ROMs are interchangeable between the 2 phones @akitten007 was correct.
I just wanted to know if S6 ROMs could be used with the S6 Edge.

[Q] (Q) Need Advise - Considering Upgrading to S5 instead of S6

Hi Folks,
I currently have an S4, and my two-year contract is up. My S4 doesn't have Sprint Spark, and the data is not great in the building I work. I checked out the app OpenSignal, and it appears Sprint is still the best option with unlimited data in my current location (T-Mobile was the other option). My S4 is rooted with tethering, something I would like to keep in my next phone. I'd like to try out a Sprint Spark phone, and I'm thinking it may be better to get the S5 instead of the S6 for the following reasons.
- S5 has a larger, removable battery. Whenever I mess with rooting and custom roms, it seems that I almost always need to do a battery pull at some point. Without the ability to do that, the chances of messing something up seem greater.
- Expandable memory, something the S6 doesn't have anymore.
- Already lots of ROMs and tweaks available in this forum.
- Cheaper
The S6 does look fancier, and I would imagine I can get root and tethering on it just as easily as I could an S5 (unlimited tethering > Samsung Pay, at least for me). What are your thoughts? Are there any killer features on the S6 that would make it worth considering over the S5?

Get the S5

Good video comparision. One thing to keep in mind for this poll, it's posted in the S5 forum, so it's sure to be biased towards the S5. I bet if the same poll was posted in the S6 forum, it would be close to the opposite.

True

I don't have 1 though..... Totally true though I was thinking the same!!

I was playing with my buddies s6 edge and even though it was crisp and clean and smooth with complete stock unrooted I would still choose the s5 because of battery and sd card

Samsung Galaxy note edge

Hi there everyone. This I believe will be my first post here. I have a small question that I hope is in the right area. I have a note edge that was a display model. Everything works except it seems to have no cellular capabilities.
A) is this fixable?
B) how do I go about fixing it, besides buying a new mono?
I appreciate any help I can get here on this one as I love this phone and would like it to be my daily driver.

Simple root question

Is there any firmware lately, that will not allow you to root? Reason, I'm selling my S7 Edge and going back to older phones as they are cheaper, and root friendly.. Had a S5 Sport a few yrs back, but development was not that great.. So I'm purchasing a regular S5 Mint condition for $115 and also going to sell my old S3 with 2 new batteries.. Thanks.

For the S5s? Not that I have seen. If anything its more easier now to root an S5 than before. The S7s are way hard to root(snapdragons mostly) than the S5s.
