I'm supposed to be thrilled by this tablet, in fact I still am (not with mine). A family member traveled to U.S and I ordered a White Note 10.1 and my auncle told me it didn't came with the S Pen which instantly put me in a sad mood all day. I can't find not even 1 site in my country that is selling the spen for the Note 10.1. The main reason I bought this tablet was because I wanted to have the S pen function.. I still does not have the tablet, mostly I'll be getting it tomorrow since they are arriving today, and tomorrow in my city.. I wanted to know just in case if The S Pen of the Galaxy notes 1 and 2 (phones) works good on the tablet? I'm not even excited anymore.. :crying:
I'm just hoping they didn't realize the S pen comes inside the tablet, even tho it's explained in an image in the back of the tablet..
thats very odd, did your uncle buy a 2nd hand tablet thats missing a pen? anyway im sure you can buy an S-pen on ebay, or buy the s-pen from international websites.
also i dont think the pen for note 1 and 2 will work.

No! I even bought it from Amazon as a New. It cost me 450$ .. That's why I don't understand. I'm just really hoping that they didnt notice that spen is coming in the corner inside the tab

Are you sure you bought the Galaxy Note 10.1? Because there's no Galaxy Note 10.1 being sold without the S-Pen. So in my point of view maybe you mistook and bought something like Galaxy Tab (2 or 10.1), such there's no S-Pen coming on those.
If you ordered a Galaxy Note 10.1 from amazon and you received a different one, you can challenge them to be refunded or to change it to the correct ordered product.
Also, FYI, the S-Pen won't work on Galaxy Tab series, it only works on Galaxy Note series because there's an active detection panel on the capacitive screen which locates the S-Pen indication/touch (If you bring the S-Pen closer than 3mm the panel locates the S-Pen approximation without touching it on the screen). And this panel is only present on Galaxy Note Series

Yes I ordered the Galaxy Note 10.1, I know the concept and all, he sent me a picture and it is the note.., but it seems the s pen is missing somehow didn't came in the tablet (maybe problem of furbished or idk), it's brand new, I'm about to receive it.. I hope everything is fine..
So.. I just receive the Galaxy note 10.1 and.. It has the Spen inside My auncle told me he had no idea it was there cause he actually open the box and putted right on the leather case backwards (wrong side) so he couldnt see the S pen lol. I love it! My only question is about the Spen, is normal to push it into the screen to actually use it? I feel its not like feeling the touch like my finger which is very smooth
Great to hear that you got the full package. enjoy!
"Push it into the screen"... did you mean you have to write hard? the tip the S Pen comes with (black tip) is a relatively soft one. if you want smoother feeling you can change to the white tip, which is harder. Personally I feel that the white one is too smooth...
Also, some screen protector make the S Pen black tip hard to use. I used to have an anti-glare screen protector on my note 10.1 and it doesn't feel good to write on with black tip.

Yeah sorry if u didnt understand, sometimes is hard for me to explain some things cause my main language is spanish
Well I feel like I have to push the spen hard in the screen for it to write which I dont really like lol I thougut its supposed to touch the screen and works just like your fingers.. and that kinda bothers me.. how can I change that you are saying. I did notice it came a few black and white sticks but I have no idea how that workx? Thank you
Im not ussing any screen protector..
Use the metal ring that came with tips to pull the black tip out. Theres a little hole where the tip is gripped. Now get a white tip and insert it with the metal ring. Just make sure you insert with the rounded end out....
Cheers....:laugh:

Yes I just checked that, I don't really note much difference about the black one and the white one.. Is it normal that It doesn't recognize the sensitive when it's touching the screen and not pushing it?
The screen is pressure sensitive, like with a pen, the harder you press down the more "ink" is released and the thicker the line. Even using the finger can take a bit of pressure sometimes, especially when plugged into power...
Hello, i'm looking to get a charging pad to go with my S-View Wireless cover. There's quite a few brands and models with similar customer ratings. I would really appreciate some advice on what to look out for in a wireless charger pad. for my Note 4. I don't usually go for "official" stuff as you end up paying for the brand name rather than the quality of performance of the product so any recommendation is welcome
Thank you in advance
I got this one from amazon and it works great.

What are your needs? I have like five different ones that I personally use and could recommend. For dual charging I use the Energizer charger, for most devices I use the Nokia DT900. Recently I purchased Anker Ultra Slim charger and a couple Powerbots. They each have their pros and cons.
thank you @harryhoudini66
I'm not looking for anything in particular, ideally I would like the most power efficient one to charge my Note 4 and hopefully not too expensive

Where will this be used i.e. desk, home, car, work?
This one is very portable and small. You can select your preferred color combination. I own both the red and blue one. The red one beeps once to let you know you placed it correctly and beeps repeatedly to let you know when it is not. The rubber ring on the bottom and top help to hold the device and grip the surface you place it on. Very easy to hit the sweet spot as well. The price is also very good.
http://www.amazon.com/PowerBot®-PB1...=UTF8&qid=1418502599&sr=8-1&keywords=powerbot
If you are looking for something very flat to place in a tight place, this one works well. This one is flatter than the Powerbot but bigger in diameter. It also has rubber on the bottom to keep it from moving but nothing on the tops.

If you need a picture showing them side by side, I can post that.
Thinking of buying this phone since its cheaper now and has all up to date features from samsung
Do you recommend it? Also how do you protect your screen? And Have you ever dropped it?
I am looking forward to the answer as well for myself. I've been using note 1 up until now and this is just a plan either note 4 or note edge and would love to her suggestions
I really like the note edge because its unique but at same time
It does not have known screen protectors nor i have seen any one recommend a case for it and i could not find any drop tests for it..
As for note 4 it lacks edge features of note edge but at same time you can guarntee that it will never have of scratch or crack thanks for the so many screen protectors available for it.
Could some one pls give me their opinions for the edge and if screen protector will protect it?
m coming off of the Note II and moving on to the Edge... the phone seems super powerful but i havent tested it yet... I have an unlocked AT&T and Im actually coming on here to rom it with something that does not give me 4 gigs of garbage apps that I cant use or uninstall!...
Screen wise, I barely ever got a scratch on the screen of my note 2... so Im thinking this screen will be just as reliable... but I do want to get a decent case for it... the one i have is used so it looks like the previous user didnt use a case and it has a bunch of dings on the edge that doesnt have a screen... its not too noticeable but it does show that the phone tends to fall on that side the most.
I can honestly say that the internet on this phone is kinda crappy... Im not sure if its the Rom or maybe a faulty antena.. after I flash it with a bare bone Rom I'll test it out and let you guys know... if its the antena i will be very upset.
Haha, I've actually been waiting for someone to ask these questions and I will tell you my experience...... The story starts with a Note 4. I bought one a while back because it was basically the best phone to date. I "liked" the Note 4, but I have AT&T and after having it for a while, I found myself online daily to see if anyone had rooted it yet so I could clean it up (a lot). That day never came. So I typed "Note 4 vs" in Google to see what people were comparing it to. I'll keep the story short, but some of you may appreciate the extra details. Sooo.... went for the Nexus 6, basically everything the Note was, minus everything the Note was, lol. Fell in love with the Nexus. Loved the assortment of roms and freedom to roam. But the camera sucks. It was/is one of my favorite phones, and I've owned them all. Well, I sold my Nexus because prices are dropping like a rock on them. Which brings us to...
Note edge.
Bottom line, I love the phone. I've used an S6 edge (which has faster hardware) but the actual functionality of the edge on the Note blow the S6 edge out of the water. I bought the T-Mobile edge because if I decided to keep it, I wanted to root it. Well, I used it for a couple days and I was sold. Even before rooting, I already loved it. Sold the Nexus 6 (still an awesome phone). Bottom line in my opinion, for phones in this class, the Note edge is awesome. I know there are 50 other opinions out there, but I wanted to not only share my opinion, but the story behind it. Not to mention expandable storage and removable battery.
Screen protectors: I've only used one, and surprisingly I am pretty happy with it. Considering I think the only ones they can make for an edge are TPU, I thought there was no hope because of the texture of TPU. I thought the pen would suffer the most. I bought the Skinomi off of Amazon, I swear I spent an hour reading and trying to decide. It's a wet apply, which I don't mind at all, and it was better than I anticipated. Smoother than I was expecting, and pen was smooth on it, too. I took it off because I had one little bubble and re-applied it, well it doesn't really work the second time. So they are sending me a new one free. So it has been about 4 or 5 days with no screen protector and I'm honestly thinking about not putting the new one on. Nothing beats the smooth feel of the glass...... But, as we all know, it only takes that one single time to have that scratch stare back at you forever. Choose wisely.
So there's my story.
Oh, I would also suggest finding one with 4.4.4 and not 5. Take my word for it, or do some research. I'm staying on 4.4.4 and am happy as can be.

Yeah. Reason i prefer note edge to all 2015 phones. That it combines the s pen with edge and finger print features and 2k display. Which means lots of features compared to the featurless s6. Not to mention sd card slot and removable battery could be a plus.
I see it as a future proof phone.
However i would never leave it without screen protector and i advice you not to..
I removed both the case and screen protector of My note 3 and one day fell on the air port and had a big scratch in the middle.
No matter how much it distorts screen quality its always worth it at least until you get better protector.

Well, my story is that I fell in love with the leather note series. I started with the note 2, which was ergonomically a better phone in any way(rounded edges). Note 3 was awesome, then the note 4 which I like; but the rom support isn't that great in my opinion.
Now the edge has a lower amount of xda nerds, but yet better roms(I can't go without Multi DPI roms anymore).
The Edge just adds extra features the Note 4 doesn't have, nothing more really. For the casing; I like the genuine samsung flip covers, so I bought one for my edge aswell. I don't have it yet, but I guess it will be as awesome as all other note flip cases ;D

I have the HANTON Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Card Pocket Case Front Full Cover Flip Classic from ebay and it covers the whole screen including the edge.
I love my Note Edge. At first, I was gonna get the Note 4 but I knew that I would've regretted it later because of the uniqueness of the Edge. I had played with the iPhone 6 Plus and the S6 Edge but, I don't really like iPhones and the edge of the S6 seemed like a gimmick to me. Since I had read that the Note Edge was pretty much a Note 4 with a second, independent screen, I went for it despite of the high price. I also bought the
ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Screen Protector and the Verus Thor case.
I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The phone has all the features of the Note 4 plus all the features of an actual, super-useful, functional edge screen. I flashed a new ROM as soon as I got it, I keep installing apps, and the phone is as good as new. It also looks amazing and it doesn't have a scratch on it. If you like features, you'll love the Edge Note.
In my opinion the Note Edge is the best piece of Android hardware on the market today....with one of the worst software implementations. Especially the ATT version is a bloated lag ridden touchwiz mess that, due to the locked bootloader, cannot be fixed. The stock 4.4 version is just "ok" while the 5.0.1 "upgrade" is almost unusable by normal android standards. There are some great ROMS already out for this great piece of hardware, but if your unwilling/unable to flash one or uncomfortable with Xposed, I would steer towards something else that doesnt use Touchwiz.
I love mine.
It's got to be the nicest phone I've ever laid hands on.
Buy it.
Root it.
Get rid of all the garbage.
It seems like everyone and their brother has a factory installed app' on this thing.
BTW,stick with KitKat.
Apparently the new ROM has a myriad of headaches with it.
It kind of reminds of Windows.
The more they "refine" it,the more bloated it gets.
My RAM usage is around 600 MB with anti virus and a couple more apps' on board.
It works very nicely.
yes, 1000%. just do not get the lollipop upgrade if you can avoid it.
I don't know what issues you guys get with 5.0.1, it's working fine on my n915g.

calls can't be answered from the edge anymore, text messages flash across the top of the screen, not the edge like it should, there is no music player on the lock screen anymore and the battery life sucks on 5.0.1. There's more, but these are the easiest to identify. If you are fine with that or have not experienced these crippling setbacks of 5.0.1. then good for you. As for me, reverting back, gave me all the features that made this my top phone of the past 10 years.

Hi guys, I'm looking for input on my next phone. I've read through the edge vs note 4 threads but most are almost a year old so I'm looking for some updated info.
I currently have an S4 and have narrowed down my future options to the Edge and Note 4. I like the idea of having the edge screen but wondering if it's actually useful. Some comments in the old threads mentioned the lack of development for the Edge. Is that still true? I don't do anything crazy with my S4...It's rooted and I really like xposed and wanam. I haven't done ROMs or anything like that.
I guess my main question boils down to...can I root an Edge and have xposed? Is there anything else I should know about or take into account when evaluating the two phone options?
Thanks!
Note Edge is unique, one of a kind phone. It is the first and also the last of its own product line. Edge screen is very useful. The edge on s6 edge and s6 edge+ are gimmick. Retarded Media killed Note Edge. I'm so mad about that.
Development for Note Edge is basically dead. But i have no issue using my Note Edge without root or any modification.

But root works perfect on this device, so does exposed. If you're looking for roms the note 4 is better. But if you can live with stock TW I would choose Edge.

Sounds like the Edge can do everything I would need it to. Thanks for the help, guys!
If anyone else has input, I'd love to hear it.
Almost forgot, I must emphasize that I'm talking about root on F/FY device. Other versions I don't know really. Maybe someone else does?

I have Sprint, which might be the P model.
Some things I've read say that the fingerprint scanner isn't very good/accurate on either the Edge or Note 4. What has your experience been? I don't know much about that feature but one proposed solution I read said to fill multiple fingerprint slots (there are 5?) with the same finger and that greatly improves the accuracy.

I swear a lot of people these days are retarded. I love my Note Edge and I am super pissed the Media killed it. Anyways the finger print scanner works wonders for me. I actually prefer the slide method instead of pressing and holding. It just feels faster.
I saved my right and left middle finger, and my right and left thumbs and it works perfectly. You just need a slow but steady swipe. Its perfect. Seriously i am bamboozled by how much this phone din't take off but I am happy I own one.
Even when I am walking around campus and girls see it, they are all impressed by what the Edge Screen can do. If you a power user, the Note Edge is the last true great phone made for us. I am using the T Mobile version on MetroPCS
I have 915g note edge and i am very happy with it. I have rooted it and have installed xposed alongwith the custom rom. I am on 5.1.1. The casing and covers for note edge are less as compared to note 4

Does 5.1.1 bring back the camera button on the Edge Screen or is it still on the main window as it was on 5.0.1. Also are notifications back to only being on the Edge Screen or are the still popping up?
After getting feedback from you guys as well as Note 4 owners, I decided to buy the Edge. It should be here tomorrow - I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Is it tomorrow yet?!
After doing more reading, I will likely get: a spare TrendOn battery with charger, maybe a screen protector (possibly KlearKare), and a case or bumper. Case selection seems pretty limited. I use a Caseology (TPU?) on my S4 and like that it's not bulky, has moderate texture, and wasn't expensive. Are theresimilar options for the Edge? Depending on what's available, I've also thought about getting a case like that and then cutting out most of the back, leaving the leather back exposed while protecting the edges.
Not sure about cases. I only use my OEM Flip Cover. Its perfect. Also the phone with the cover makes it easy to kung fu grip the phone really strongly. Have yet to drop the phone

Note Edge is unique, one of a kind phone. It is the first and also the last of its own product line. Edge screen is very useful. The edge on s6 edge and s6 edge+ are gimmick. Retarded Media killed Note Edge. I'm so mad about that.
Development for Note Edge is basically dead. But i have no issue using my Note Edge without root or any modification.

I swear a lot of people these days are retarded. I love my Note Edge and I am super pissed the Media killed it. Anyways the finger print scanner works wonders for me. I actually prefer the slide method instead of pressing and holding. It just feels faster.
I saved my right and left middle finger, and my right and left thumbs and it works perfectly. You just need a slow but steady swipe. Its perfect. Seriously i am bamboozled by how much this phone din't take off but I am happy I own one.
Even when I am walking around campus and girls see it, they are all impressed by what the Edge Screen can do. If you a power user, the Note Edge is the last true great phone made for us. I am using the T Mobile version on MetroPCS

I agree.
On the swipe... set it to swipe up. Much easier.

Yes SM-N915F or SM-N915FY
While I do love my edge, do be aware that compare to note 4 owners, you will be treated with unbound discrimination . Unfairly, cool case companies refused to make cases for this phone. Nobody wants to work on root for it. Gear vr doesn't fit. Glass screen protectors failed to be produced. Extended battery cases choices are very slim. You will be worst that a second class citizen. At least that's how I feel since I got this phone. Anyway, rant over.

same here. i actually have the Note 4 and the Note Edge. i loved my Note 4 with a passion but i appreciated the edge display and capabilities. it was gimmicky but it did have a use-- notifications without unlocking the phone, the marquee feel to it, and shortcuts to some other key functions of the phone right there without having to swipe and search my app drawer. the only drawback that I'm experiencing is that the battery life seemed to be killed with the 5.0.1 update, (not to mention i have the Verizon variant, so it took FOREVER just to even get THAT much.) i'm considering going back to my Note 4 just for this reason, but i'm searching the forums to see if there's any kind of resolution or suggestions for it. without root and any other major development for the phone, i'm kind of stuck. but i hope that you enjoy yours.
I found a solution to the battery problem.I downgraded back to KitKat from 5.0.1, thats after doing everything I can to solve the battery issues with Lollipop even with a fresh install of stock. I think il be staying for awhile with this. By the way i have SM-N915G

Yeah Kit Kat will always be the only home for the Note Edge proper. Short of finding custom ROMS. Its depressing how the only phone to actually try something different and Do it pretty damn well will never ever get a sequel. This phone wows everyone I show to it. The positive response I've gotten from Apple users that wanted to buy it alone tells me that the public just was never given a chance to try it.
Also I wish there was a harder version of the Flip Case. I dropped my phone on concrete and it got a scratch and now that crack keeps spreading lol. Its still barely noticeable with normal use. But its noticeable when the screen is off. Pissed of at lack of support will never ever let this phone go until something more revolutionary comes out. Its just that damn good. Power use the edge screen like no other
True, i was about to trade my edge for Note 4. For battery,accessories, & more choices of custom ROMs but after being satisfied with KiTKat i think il hold on to this. I actually wanted to try Nexus 6P.I'll see in the future.Note 5 without sd card slot really turned me off its so difficult to say goodbye to the note series.

For me I can't. I have bad ADD so I need to have a phone that will allow me to jot down things on the fly. The Edge was the perferct answer. Cannot ever see myself use another phone without a stylus.
I just really really really really hope another manufacturer or Samsung themselves go back to being more revolutionary and market well to make another Edge phone with actually functionality. If they don't, I'l;l buy two more Note Edge when they get cheaper so I can have backups. Thats how much I love this phone. I use my phone like a computer, especially because I am in school
Actually, today, I got a date just by showing this girl I met at a school diner my phone. I used the phone as a social thing too. Samsung needs to start marketing their stuff better
Just curious , as the new model is on the way , after The Bomb Note 7 ,
How many of you will still update to a new s8 ?
All day! Can't wait

As I don't like the fingerprintsensor on the back I'll wait which benefits it will have opposite S7 edge and decide then.
I'll decide when I'll have the oportunity to get on in hands
I doubt I will ever buy another edge screen. It was a mistake for me... it's almost useless, leads to unwanted touches on screen specially when i'm laying in bed and the screen protectors don't fit properly due ot the edges fitting issues. Specific screen protectors 3M privacy film looks ridiculous on it... because since they are thick they need to be cut before the edges. So no edges, useless like almost 99% of bloatware that samsung fills the phone with.
Waiting to see it first if it's same design/similar specs then not interested, I new sh!t will get the S8 Plus

I'm waiting to see what the official specs will be for the version in my country, and if that fits my needs I will get the S8 Plus
Maybe next year when lower the price. Taxes in my country are absurdly high.
I will
i am thinking about to buy one, im really interested how samsung will manage the fingerprint sensor. And i am reall curious about 18,5 inch "hard implemented" rumors. i have an s7 edge now, i had the note 7 before. so if the note 7 would be out now, i would not even think about to buy an s/s8 plus. i hope, samsung will also "debloat" touchwiz and make much smoother than it is right now. they did good changes with touchwiz since couple of years, so i am also excited to see the changes in touchwiz in the s8
6.2 " screen...yes sign me up for one.
Been waiting for years for samsung to release a high end 6" device!

I will wait for the S9. I think the second version of a phone after a major hardware update use to be better.
That being said, I hope Samsung will propose non EDGE screen. I really do not like them: Useless and weaken screen strength.
I have had the Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, (skipped the S5 for the LG G2) S6 Edge and now S7 flat. I have had the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7, Pro 8, S 8.4 and S2 8.0. Assuming the S8 isn't globally bootloader locked (a la US Qualcomm S7), it's almost certain I will have a S8 5.8.
S7 Edge performing beautifully.
Upgrading every Gen is for morons and greedy hardware companies.
I wont, I cant switch phone every year, its too expensive.. maybe wait untill note 10...
I will never buy a Samsung device again because its slower OS update.

The thing is that the screens are not really bigger than the S7 and S7 Edge. They look like being about the same width, just taller, with the extra height taken up by the on screen buttons (that weren't there on the S7 models, as it had separate physical buttons). The usable screen space looks like it will be about the same as the current models (S7=S8, S7 Edge=S8+).
