Hi I need some help, with a minor annoance.
I have a galaxy note edge with a flip case, when i have the case on and it shut the edge of the screen shows as normal. But once i swipe my finder along to edge (whilst its locked and the case is shut) its meant to bring up a news feed like thing on the edge. It does do this but the orientation is around the wrong way (it faces inwards towards the phone) and i have to pick the phone up and rotate it in order for it to switch around (every time). If you take the case off it works as normal. Has any one found a fix because its got me stumped at the moment and I would appreciate it if you could let me know how to fix it.
Thanks

Good Luck!
No there is no real fix yet for this unless you put the phone into left-handed mode and use the phone upside-down.
with the hype of the s7 ramping up, i just wanted to know the thoughts of everyone with the s6 edge. i love my s6 edge, but i never use the extra stuff the edge screen offers about 99% of the time. i like the night clock, but thats about it. its only a matter of time before the s7 is released, and just wanted to see who would get the edge again or if they would switch back to the standard screen.

Trying to follow the latest on Samsungs recent announcements...
Sounds like there are "big" edges on a 5.5 inch screen?
Does this mean they will be proper edges like in the Note Edge?
What would you make of the fall in size from 5.6 to 5.5?
Could there still be a Note 7 Edge announced later?

For me, I've grown addicted to the wider screen on the Note edge so I probably would not go for Samsung's latest (although I could change my mind!). I'm sure camera and performance are great. Some other phones that look interesting are the Le Eco Le Max Pro (formely LETV) and the upcoming vivo. I don't know whether they will work well on US networks. Regardless, this may be a good year for various offerings...

I've had the Note Edge since day one and love the phone. However battery life hasn't been all that great for me the last couple of months and its also been giving problems. Not to mention that it wont be long before Samsung stops with the updates or takes forever to push out to Note Edge devices. And even tho it has the s pen I never saw myself using it much. Not concerned about the difference in screen size as I use mostly in landscape mode anyway. After seeing the Samsung event Sunday I've given it some thought and put my pre-order in today. I'll take the bigger battery, wireless charging, better processor, more memory and always on display over the wider screen. I know I could always wait for the next Note upgrade but I'm too dam impatient! . Oh, and I like the fact that Samsung is giving out the Gear VR and a 6-game bundle supposedly worth 150 dollars.

I like the wider screen also.
New phones are always going to be progress with a few hits and misses.
However the functionality of the note edges edge is so important to me that it's almost a non negotiable for my next phone.
That's why I am keen that new Samsungs have "real functional" edges.

I carry a spare battery when I know I am likely to need it. .. only been caught out once so far.

No one has been able to clarify if the s7 edge has a "proper" edge

I can see your point with the wanting the wider screen but correct me if Im wrong you still have the same functionality of the edge screen that you have with the note edge. Perhaps the note edge panel may be a bit wider. Both the S6 edge and the S7 edge still have the edge display which will show clock, notifications and with the s7 you have a new edge panel that swipes open and makes it useful to access applications using one hand. I mainly got the Note Edge so I can see notifications and sport tickers without having to open my phone but now I dont use it as much since I got a Gear S2. Plus I want to be able to use Samsung Pay and Note Edge will never get it.

I don't know about the s7 Edge but the s6
Edge certainly has inferior functionality to the note Edge......
I am hoping that s7 Edge is more like the Note Edge (from an edge perspective)... I can live with any other changes but can't live without a proper Edge.
......see below for an extract from a review talking about edge differences between Note and S6.....
The Note Edge SDK can not be used with the S6 Edge, and as such all of the existing content panels are useless. To make matters worse, you can’t do anything beyond the 4-core functions present in the S6 Edge and thus there is no potential to tweak or tinker. Edge Lighting, People Edge, Information Stream, and Night Clock: all of these could technically be done on a normal “flat” phone, just with slightly less comfort.
Why did Samsung strip away the real functionality of the Edge Display?
Edge Lighting has the side of the screen light up when you get a phone call or receive a notification. People Edge allows you to color-coordinate the lights with up to 5 contacts. Information Stream is similar to the ticker feature mentioned earlier on the Note Edge, and Night Clock is also related to lights. That’s it. Nothing impressive whatsoever, if you ask me, at least nothing that justifies making use of such a new piece of display technology.
Why did Samsung strip away the real functionality of the Edge Display? Simple: the S6 variant is much thinner than its Note sibling and, therefore, the curves are much less subtle. This in turn means that there is simply no place to put icons and the like. Unlike the Note Edge, the S6 Edge’s display is one single screen as opposed to “two”.
No way to samsung s7 edge, note edge is still promising and without s pen I will not buy any s series phones.

Bet we can hope for but I doubt it. I was hoping the S6 Edge plus would be Note Edge 2 but for whatever Reason Samsung has decided against it
Maybe there will be a 5.9 inch 7 Edge plus. ....
Keep dreaming! lol

Samsung missing a trick here. ..
I keep going back and forth betweeen pickin up a used NOTE EDGE or the new S7edge, been to BB like 3 times to play with it and seen every youtube video reviewing it. Its a awesome phone but im still not happy about not having a replaceable battery and the edge screen really isnt independent like the Notes. I watch a lot of tv via SLINGBOX and really want to be able to see my notifications on the edge screen without interrupting the main screen. maybe its just cause the phone is in demo mode and its really glitchy but it seems like the edge panels come out over the entire screen blocking whats on the main screen. i try and imitate the app by using youtube but i cant really get it to work. the app panels are really cool but wish it was independent still. What do you guys think?

My concern has been how "independent" the s7e screen is and how it might "takeover" main screen. ...
Looks like you share this concern. Can u elaborate on the problem or share links to good videos that show this

if you watch any of the videos when they show that u can pull the panel off the side of the main screen, it shows the panels but also clouds out the entire main screen, so its not just showing the panels over the screen.
check out this video

U can plainly see that the edge screen is taking over the main screen and u can not see whats on it anymore

I agree, i mean thats what my dilema is with this phone, yes u can scroll thru the notifications on the edge when the screen is off but when screen is on, its part of the screen again and those panels overrun the main screen, i guess im going to wait it out a few more months either for price to maybe drop or for the next Note series. Hoping the bring the edge back with them, as well as the waterproofing, but i heard from the Samsung rep at Best Buy that the battery will not be removable, thats for sure. errrr

I regularly need my spare battery with note edge.... so I wouldn't buy a phone without.
I'm glad edge is a beast so could withstand a longer cycle whilst the Samsung execs sort themselves out!!!
There is absolutely no need to have an edge that's wider than one icon either..... if u need lots of info use the good damn main screen! !!!

Check out the XDA S7 Edge pages... there is a solution so the screen doesn't cloud out when using the edge. Should help you decide

In S7 edge and Note 7,Under edge screen options, there is edge feeds option which is useful to see notification on edges when screen is locked. I could not find the same on S8+. Does anyone know how to get this back. This was the best part about the edge screen. Thank you.

Not that I am aware of, but good question.
I'd like to also get that ticker tape feed on the side of my screen. It will be great if it was coupled with the always on display.
Hi All,
Does anyone know a way to customize the way edge screen (Apps Edge and etc) looks? I preferred the nougat look where it was transparent without a line. The oreo version is kind of ugly because of the line. If someome could make it all black, that would be great too. Thanks!
That would be awesome to theme the edge screen. I never knew I wanted that but now I do, lol. If some were made it would probably be the usual, works on everything but Snapdragon, lol
