[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Not sure what that phone is, never heard of it. Different countries, different phones I guess. I suppose you should have returned the Edge before the trial period is up. But then again, different countries, different conditions. So you may have not had that choice.

This is actually funny, for some reason for me AT&T is the best carrier at the lowest cost. Verizon may be more spread out, but they cost more. Plus I didn't have the $950 to spend all at once (To buy an international one or TMO's). And even though T-mobile's phone can be rooted, I am sure that TMO would not let me put their phone on 30 interest free payments to use on my AT&T account. (I am not a big fan of TMO or Sprint) So some folks just don't rally have a choice., ;)
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pubhead:
Thanks much

Thank you for the tips. They helped a bit.

Edge lag is super frustrating, and common among all Samsung devices. It's touch wiz, bloat ware and poor optimization by devs. OTAs don't seem to improve the situation. I went back to my nexus 5 5.0 lollipop for comparison and the google/lg gem kills the note edge in responsiveness. Not apples to apples mind you - stock will always be better! I am seriously considering going back to the n5 or even the iPhone 6 plus. I got a chance to use the new apple flagship over the weekend and it is a nearly perfect blend of optimized mobile os and hardware- and the specs aren't ott like the n6 or s6/note 4/edge. Tried the n6 but a wifi/cell network bug prevented it from taking calls while on wifi. :(

My advice - don't get the Sammy devices unless you must have an IR blaster and kick ass camera. The camera is outstanding. Right up there with iPhone 6 plus. Go get a moto variant too if u want a great device and is blend.

My 2 cents.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JunBringer:
I think TMobile only lets you do 24 payments with no interest via JUMP, but heck who keeps a smartphone for 30 months anyways?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
Guess I am going to try it. AT&T Next plan is 30 months, but could trade it in 24. This will be the longest I have ever owned a smartphone in my life. LoL
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedin07si:
Idk if sprint still does this, but with my plan as long as I got unlimited data I'm able to upgrade every 12 months.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirk66:
Just wanted to chime in here, I think the way the Note Edge performs is outrageous, battery life is s**t, it's unresponsive and sluggish (even after spending hours on tweaking various settings), it's impossible to take a 'snapshot' with this phone, the bluetooth connection to android wear drops when the screen is off etc.

I'm really surprised Samsung would dare to release such a POS phone for 800$ that performs much worse in day-to-day tasks than even a Nexus 4. I'm even more surprised that none of the reviews mention these issues in-depth - this phone should never have gotten more than 4 out of 10 points if you ask me.

Calling this a top-of-the-line flagship phone really brings shame to the entire android ecosystem and to samsung. Sorry, but I can't say it any different.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechBSwift:
Lol you've been a member of xda for a month, you have 0 thanks and you come in here just talking crap... sounds like a troll to me..

If your phone is not working correctly ask questions how you can improve the situation. We are happy to help but empty rants achieve nothing... The note edge is a beast, using the debloater tool will help decrease the lag and improve battery life.

Just wanted to chime in here, I think the way the Note Edge performs is outstanding, battery life is so so, but the extended battery from Mugan is great, it's really responsive and not at all sluggish (even after spending hours on playing games, texting and doing various things), it's impossible not to be impressed with this phone, the camera really impresses me. Takes great pictures, and so easily

I'm really surprised Samsung would dare to release such a phone for only $945 that performs much better in day-to-day tasks than even a Samsung S5. I'm even more surprised that none of the reviews mention how smooth this phone really is - this phone should have gotten more than 10 out of 10 points if you ask me.

Calling this a top-of-the-line flagship phone really brings pride to the entire android ecosystem and to Samsung. Sorry, but I can't think of how to say it any different.

This would be my version of his rant. Actually I wasn't impressed with the price, really high for my pocketbook. But after 5 months I am still happy with it, must say something since I change phones almost as quickly as the weather changes. Who knows? I might actually try to keep this phone for the 30 months. :silly:
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristy7610:
I came from htc one m8 and belive me,this galaxy edge is the slowest phone I ever had.Maybe for somebody who used only Samsung this lag is normal and is used to,but if you came from another top phone you will see the difference.I trully regret that I change my M8 with this lazzy fat..Of,if you try to take a quick shot belive me,you can't...I will wait to update Lollipop to see ...if it will be the same like kit kat I will go back to htc.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
I came from the HTC M8 to the S5, to the note edge. There are a few things I find annoying, too much lag isn't one of them. I have a problem taking too many pictures. Takes about 3 seconds to load and shoot. But to me that is about average on all phones I have had except the dumbphones I have had. But in that 3 seconds I was able to find the icon, load it up and touch the screen to focus and shoot. But then again, I am on lollipop now.

---------- Post added at 01:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

With my SLR, I have to get it out of the case, take the lens cap off, turn it on, hold the snap button half way to focus then take the picture. And a little more time if I want to use flash. And that is with the 14MP lens. Needless to say the phone is faster and easier, not to mention higher quality. Not sure what is slowing down your phone, but I am with AT&T, so there is no root.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshafranko:
I think theres something wrong with your phone, its too bloated with a crap load of apps and processes runing in the back, or maybe you have all the motion stuff turned on, gps, bt, mw, OR maybe your power saving option is on...ive had 2 note edges, dropped first one in the toilet and they have both been lightning fast. Not out of the box tho, im measuring it after all my mods and the phone is set up the way i like it....Heres my proof dont take my word for it. You be the judge, and if you have any special requests let me know and ill record it. GL

Hey Odi do you mean 3 sec when first loading or 3 sec between shots?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
3 seconds top bring it up (find the icon, hit the camera icon, wait till it loads and snap the first picture. Milliseconds between pictures. I do not have preview on, so it is a lot faster. No matter what, it is a lot faster than my SLR.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
I too went from the M8 to the Edge and I don't see any lag. I didn't need to upgrade phones. Was happy with my M8 but even happier with the Edge. Time was up for my Next upgrade and went to the Nexus 6 found it boring even with all the roms and went to the Edge and can't complain besides not having root

edit: never had any issues with my G watch and my Edge either...now I've gone to the gear S I'm having issues but none related to the Edge
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z31k:
I just gave my M9 to my mother. I am completely satified with lollipop on the Edge. I see no lag and honestly never have in this bad boy. XD
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristy7610:
I close all the process,no gps,no power saving,all animation close and unninstall all the apps that came with the phone.I don't know what to close anymore..The rom is stock because I don't want to lose my waranty.Like I said,I wait lollipop..maybe this lag will be removed.I have a friend who used only Samsung phones and give him my edge to see how it moves..He said that there is no lag..that's why I said before that for somebody who used only samsung it get used with this ...
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickdroid86:
I just got my note edge for Verizon last night. Noticed tons of lag out of the box even some freezing, and I'm coming from a tmobile s4.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshafranko:
Do a factory reset before you set anything up.

Go to settings/device and turn off all the motion and gestures unless you use that crap of course

Go to settings/general about phone and tap on build a few timmes until dev options open. Then go to dev options and lower all 3 animations to .5

Disable all apps that you dont use

Not sure if u guys have toot but if you do delete all the apks you dont need or use it helps a lot.

Freeze s finder, and whatever else you dont use.

Generally i like to go to Settings/App Manager/Running and i look at all the crap thats runninh in back. Anything there i dont use like Sfinder, email, exchange, etc....i delete or you can stary out by freezing in TIBU or alike

Try some of those should help if not return the phone and switch it for another.

Are you rooted running xposed with s health installed?

---------- Post added at 06:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

You know honestly you could be right and i cant agree or disagree because ive had nothing but Samsung for probably 6 yrs now as a matter of fact right now my 2 daughters have S3s my son N3 my wife S5 and me Edge.

When you say you close all processes do you mean in Settings/appmanager/running?

If so that could actually work againdt you in many ways. For example if you Stop internet then decide to use it 5 min later that app will take very long to open because it has to build cache again and it will also put more stress on processor and in tern use more battery. Sometimes it counter productive to keep stopping apps in the running list unless they are apps you rately use say maybe once twice per day..
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickdroid86:
I'm not rooted, I practically haven't peeled off the factory screen sticker yet lol.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rquinn19:
I'm not rooted, can't get root, but I did uninstall all the apps I don't use and disabled the ones I couldn't. Cut off the stupid Flipboard (Blinkfeed wannabe) and cut my animations in half and I'm happy. tried out other launchers, but to be honest went back to all Sammy stuff. No issues with TW just wish they'd hurry up and give us the themes.

edit: also hate I can't change notifications per convo in messages...group messages can get really annoying...but i'm not in many so I deal with it instead of using a 3rd party app
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshafranko:
Also after seeing the battery life is sh#t comment i decided to check mine...i think its pretty decent. Not as good as my Tmo N3 running Tweaked rom but nonetheless good enough for me....
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSK1:
I'm getting that lag issue
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieso:
I started seeing the lag also so I went to the bootloader and cleared cache only and it is back to normal
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSK1:
Do u need root for that?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieso:
No just shut down your phone. Hold down home button, volume up, then hold power. You will almost immediately be taken to the bootloader menu. Scroll down using volume buttons and use a quick push on the power button to select clear cache. Scroll back up to reboot and hit power button (quick push)and your done
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globalgpj:
There is also an App, which has widget shortcuts to close all apps and clears cache. Widgets are tiny, i.e. Just an alphabet letter, and can be 100% transparent.

I use them most of the time. See - Quick System Info Pro - Google Play -

Use preferences, if you don't want any notifications.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
Anybody else see that? Seems odd that there's a widget in the app switcher.

I don't have a solution, I just wanted you to know that you're not the only one seeing that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheater912:
That's the Google search widget. Haven't had that problem though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barracuda77777:
can confirm that it is the Google search, if you have frozen it or uninstalled it you will get this error, once I installed google search again the error was gone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheater912:
That's actually a pretty convenient feature. Better than the swipe up thing IMO.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtdragon:
Same problem but I dont have it disabled or anything. I use it all the time but it's just missing from there
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuffs:
I had this too (and have never disabled Google Search)

A simple reboot into safe mode the then boot back to normal fixed it.

Press power button then long press on "Power Off" to access safe mode.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtdragon:
That worked
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kuffs:
Just tried on my nexus 5 which had the same issue and it only seems to work if you actually open "Recent Apps" once you are in Safe Mode.

I think it is a profile error as the problem appeared on a brand new Nexus 6 after "restoring" from my Nexus 5 config.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dito13:
Great!

Starting in Safe mode, opening the recent apps and rebooting fixed it for me as well - many thanks! :good::good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexkit14:
Try using Gravitybox.

Gravitybox > Miscellaneous Tweaks > Search bar visibility

Set to Hide and remove space.

That will get rid of that annoyance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fajaram:
Reinstall clean master

Uninstall clean master from settings > apps, then install it from play store. Worked for me.

I read some article about Vista that delaying me to bought it:

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html#functionality

What do you thing?
[Off-topic] iksiksiks:
I think just 1 thing:

DON'T BUY VISTA.....and if anyone give you Vista as a gift then throw them back or sell them away

if u like Windows, then Windows XP is the only way to stay in peace...

but i advise that Vista is only a hole...a hole in performances, a hole in our wallett (if u buy vista premium, a big hole for nothing) and a big hole in personal security...i think this is not a OS but a rootkit....
[Off-topic] levenum:
Have you seen this thread?

There is a link there to a podcast about vista. What all the security will do to speed and stability of your system.

My conclusion:

If the consumers are smart enough Vista will die.

Also:

XP and other windows versions owe their popularity in large part to the fact that there are plenty of cracked versions.

If vista doesn't get cracked (mainly cause no one bothers to put in the effort) it won't gain popularity.
[Off-topic] SpyderTracks:
lol... Vista was cracked before it was released! I agree though, I've got it installed and it's just not worth it at all... I use pc mainly for creating audio and Vista's put a huge dent in audio processing. My very expensive professional soundcard is pretty much useless as M$ now say that they've decided the way everyone's been routing sound to cards is now not in their plans and they'd like Vista to take on the responsibility - yeah, well, it's pretty poor Bill... maybe you should leave this kinda stuff up to the professionals???!!!

It's all down to Vista's supposed "Security Features", but I've read a lot of reports outlining the hole's in it, basically saying it's completely meaningless. It causes problems with Networking, Audio, and performance that just can't be justified. He's gone and released it WAY before it's ready, same as always. Users will be inundated with updates until finally it starts working like XP now does, by which time he'll have another official part-release ready on the market.

Stay clear of Vista for now if you use your PC for anything more than word processing :p

Anything M$ related check out http://www.mydigitallife.info/ Excellent site!

Macs are just as misleading!

The ad on tv with the mac and pc is misleading and I'm ticked. I tried to replace a HD on an iBook... wow! Good thing I have a COMPUTER SCIENCE degree. 2.5 hours just to get to the hard drive. Why? because they want more money from you.

Anyway, I am actually pretty excited about getting vista for one of my computers.
[Off-topic] levenum:
I am not sure what ad it is you are referring to, and I don't mean to sound rood but is the time it takes to replace a part relay the driving consideration in what type of computer to get?

And even if so what does that have to do with the OS?

I may not have a degree but I open my PC every 6 month or so, if not to add / change component then just to dust it out and given the amount of peripherals connected to it, it can take 10 minutes just to unplug and then plug back all the cables (two of the big non USB annoyances are UPS status and capture card IR that use serial connectors).

At any rate, I understand the whole "I am switching to Mac / Linux etc." rants. And sorry I don't want to insult anybody but lets face it: in most cases you're just gonna stick with your XP box because getting used to a new OS is not a simple matter. (We have a MAC, don't remember specific model, at work and I got to play with it a couple of times - shortage of mouse buttons drove me crazy:D How can you live without 'right click'???)

But seriously you may not be switching right now but the point of it all is that there are viable (if not as popular) alternatives to M$ crap regardless of hardware architecture and that is a very comforting thought.

P.S. Here is what I can tell you about my experience with Vista:

We put a Beta on one of the stations at work (it came with our MSDN subscription). The Pentium 4 2.4GHz 258 MB machine ran at a tolerable speed (though I now know it wasn't quite up to specs for this OS), but after a week we needed it for doing real work so it was formatted back to XP.
[Off-topic] xplode:
I have tested on AthlonXP 2500+, 1 Gb ram DDR 400 MHz, Geforce FX5600 Ultra, and after a week of testing I've determined that it works 2-3 times slower than XP, i will not sacrifice performance over crappy security, silly GUI effects and poor compatiblity
[Off-topic] OdeeanRDeathshead:
My mother in law (a non technical person) just bought a new laptop pre loaded with vista. She complained that it works much worse than her old xp laptop and decided to just take it back for a refund.

I hope the same thing happens a million times and all those refunds will out weight the gains they are hoping for in cornering the drm video market.

The evil in vista is just a sign of the wider decay in American civil liberties. I normally would not care but now thanks to America pushing wipo onto Australia in order to get a trade deal, all that American evil is heading my way.

I do not think copyright crimes should be criminal offenses. Vista, DRM, DMCA, RIAA and so call anti terror laws are crushing ordinary people. They use copyright as a door into peoples lives to persecute them for any other thing they can find along the way.

I would like to see an open source p2p searchable anonymous adhoc wireless network program. That way free people around the world could create and grow an alternate network to rival the internet that no one could use to slam someone in jail. Each users copy of the program could be compiled with a unique identifier that lets it be addressed over the network but in no way ties in to their real identity. If enough people used it it could work, some with enough protection could set up gateways into the real internet to join the two networks.

This may sound stupid now but IMO lack of anonymity in ip based networks will eventually spell the end of them.

what kind of world do we live in where a person needs to run oftware from an encrypted volume within a virtual pc on a pc with ip blocking software and software and hardware firewalls just to feel that big brother won't be able to get at your stuff when they secretly break into your house and ransack it while your at work (as they are allowed to do in Aus under anti terror laws). Seriously!
[Off-topic] SpyderTracks:
lol... freaky! I've got the same specs :eek: just another .5 Gb of RAM. I've actually gone back to XP too.
