New version on Play store. I was able to download it today

Not blocked.

F***ing loser!
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] marcadam:
Yeah, it's publicly available on the play store. It is still very rough around the edges though and definitely is not as good officesuite pro and the like.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] kashk5:
It's pretty good, but not nearly as great as the Android tablet version. Excel and Word on my Shield Tablet are above and beyond any other Android office suite.
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] danarama:
There are 2. There's this one (or at least the one linked in post 2) which is a cloud based app.. Links to office 365 or live account, but there is a full office suite in beta that is not available to us.. There are threads in the android app a forum I believe.. Only the letter could be considered a rival to office suite pro really.. The any really the same kind of app.

That said, I don't think post 1 is about the latter anyway
[Nexus 6 Themes and Apps] sonofevil77:
Agreed, officesuite pro is the best.

Hello everyone,

We are looking for one developer able to use Unity3D and code in C#, one 3D Designer to create models and one graphics designer to create a development team.

The game will be a real life MMORPG for now we're 3 developers so we need to increase our team.

We are using teamups to start our project here's the like if you're interested http://www.teamups.net/teamup/346/Real-Life-MMO-RPG?tab=join_tab (you'll also get more informations).

Were're looking for cool peoples interested in making games no for money but for fun and earning experience.

There is only a few places so if you're interested visit the link you have nothing to loose ;)

Thanks
[Job Board] SaschaHa:
For now I've not enough time, but I'm very interested in learning to use Unity 3D as I'm dreaming from a small retro 2D game. Can you give us some more information about this project and your plannings? :)
[Job Board] primaelq:
Yeah no problem ;)

I'm actually not the leader of this project but to make it easy it would be a MMORPG but in a real world like I mean not a science fiction universe every thing could be change like buildings and it would be a massive multiplayer.

This is just the starting idea and it can still be change (maybe too expensive or difficult or just mind changes ;) ).

Also for your 2D game why don't just give it a try I'll mp you my email and we could try to build smt ;)

Hope I could have helped you .

First of all let me make it clear I. Love. This. Phone. No question this is the best - functionality wise - phone I have had in more than 10 years. Because it is my daily driver and the attention grabber everywhere I went (until the S6 edge came out) I am even more disappointed/disturbed by Samsung treating the phone, and those that really like, as disposable.

Because Samsung billed this as a concept phone there is virtually ZERO real development for the edge panel since it was announced last September. The bad part is that Samsung themselves could have made useful panels but instead they dropped the ball. How many months more will we see that the panel store is "coming soon"? Instead of exploiting this feature and keeping us engaged it is now an exercise in futility hitting the download button to see the same panels or virtually useless ones that are not in a language you don't understand or is of zero use.

Then there s the ROM aspect. I used to do more flashing that Barry Allen back in the day. Have you seen the number of fully functional ROMS for this phone. It is slim to none. It seems Sammy's lack of passion to push the phone has pushed chefs to other devices. This is squarely on Samsung.

Lastly, I am an accessory fiend - admittedly. Finding GOOD accessories and add-on's to this phone have be like finding the Lost Ark of the Covenant. From buying 9 different screen protectors that promise to protect the actual edge - that don't or looking for a functional case almost everything is a chore or a serious waiting game. they have sucked the fun of really getting into this device - for me at least.

If this new article is to be believed they are even going to cut down on some of the specs from the Note 5 equivalent: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...ge-2-features-leaked/articleshow/47204012.cms. I will not believe it until I see it but I do not feel good about the next iteration of the phone either. When you consider that there is no removable battery in the S6 nor a micro slot either things do not look good.

If things go as the article states and I see that the marketing and exposure for the Note Edge 2 or anemic I will stick with what I have now. Again, I love this phone which makes the stagnant interaction on this board and in products tick me off more. This could have easily been avoided.
[Note Edge General] jUsT2eXy:
I totally agree with everything you have said. I was so excited about the Galaxy Edge announcement! A phone with two screens and great specs. I still love my phone but like you I am extremely disappointed at the lack of development for our devices. I too used to flash a new ROM every few weeks but I can't. I also can't believe Samsung took their eye of the ball and stopped giving us Edge owners (people who put faith in their 'concept' design)exclusives or even panels (which was promised).

I have made a few posts in the DEV section asking why we have so few ROMS/tweaks etc. Apparently it is to do with not having the source code..even though it has been released..so I'm not sure if this is the real reason etc
[Note Edge General] sand1303:
I kinda agree as well. This phone has been rather dissapointing to me. Not because of lack of potential but lack of support and development. This phone had the potential to be epic but it is now shadowed by the over hyped s6 edge. Oh well. Im guessing because the s6 edge has had a great bit of responsiveness and praise the next note edge will be better supported. I kinda am torn with the idea of a smaller screen but 5.5 is still a good size screen.
[Note Edge General] MSK1:
I absolutely disagree entirely

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 AM ----------

Let me explain. ...

It's supposed to be a useful accessory. .... not a full blown new gadget.

When u look at it in that context it is incredible.

Just the

1) nightclock

2) edge board as the app tray

3) quicksetting shortcut functions

4) a second screen when dealing with quick functions such as music player etc

Are enough to make this worthwhile as adding tangible beneficial functionality.

Anything else is a bonus and won't really add much more utility. Yes it would be nice but won't add that much.
[Note Edge General] arbit12:
I'd bought this after some indecision as was pretty sure it wouldn't get developer support given the limited numbers. Took the plunge because the edge was just too enticing.

Couple of months on, am quite happy overall. The phone itself, as everyone agrees, is fantastic. Plus,

1. Lots of cases now, from flip to non flip. Range covers the edge as well as leaving it open.

2. Screen protectors have been a pain, especially the lack of glass ones. The plastic ones, however, do cover the full edge, and are quite smooth. You have to wait for a week or so for all the bubbles to vanish and the surface to really smoothen out, though.

3. ROMS are in short supply, but as if now, find it is responsive enough without too many tweaks. A lot of the mods for Note 4 work quite well, which eases the pain.

4. The Samsung panel store started well and then died out. But there are quite a few very useful productivity panels coming on play store now. I particularly like the quick settings and quick contacts ones. Still some shortage of content based feeds etc, but don't think that will be resolved.

So some minuses, but overall still very good. No thanks to Samsung, of course (which is the point of the OP, I suppose) ☺

4.
[Note Edge General] MSK1:
1) I agree about the range of cases but prefer the a flip that covers the edge. ...

Imo the protection is more important than the visibility.... 99% of the time u need the edge only. ... there is no problem with leaving the flip open. Eg when using as a night clock.

2) I think screen protectors are pointless. ...especially if u have a flip case.

Any protector inevitably takes away from usability.
[Note Edge General] djsbad:
I agree to an extent with the op. I guess one of the things I am most disappointed about is that ever since lollipop came out for our edge phones, the main features that were HUGE turn on to the edge screen have been removed. Case in point, the camera button that was on the edge screen is now off to the side of the phone. Even what little they offered in the edge screen in kit Kat has been reduced even further with lollipop. I truly feel that as great as this phone is, I should have stayed with my note 4. The edge was seriously overhyped to bring us in and then dropped like raw egg on concrete.

I love love this phone. When I heard that S6 was to be edged both sides I was very disappointed in what they did to that generation. No removable battery and slot for SD card , I feel like I'm look I ng at a CrApple phone. If this is the way Samsung is going, I'll keep this phone till it dies and look elsewhere.
[Note Edge General] arbit12:
Am wondering whether to upgrade. Could you mention any other negative changes? Thanks.
[Note Edge General] MSK1:
If u like playing around with ROMS etc... then don't buy it.

If u r not fussed by that sort of stuff. ... there isn't a better phone in the world.
[Note Edge General] arbit12:
Should have clarified. I already have the edge. Wondering whether to upgrade to Lollipop
[Note Edge General] steve austin:
I think that for the most part the disappointment comes at the hands of Samsung. sure, would I love for the battery to have been bigger and give me a solid 6 hours screen time...of course. but from form factor, wow factor, functionality standpoint this phone is awesome. I just feel that by abandoning it - at launch - they left a lot on the table.

I, personally, feel I got everything I expected and more. Especially from a superficial perspective. This phone turns heads -and go a few numbers for me :good: based on people not knowing what the heck it was. I actually got 6 people to buy the phone base on my conversation with them about all its features. With lollipop coming so late/ changing accustomed to features, the panel store sucking and limited to no development I can see how "overhyped" could be applied but for me its only from the standpoint that my expectation level was higher from a Samsung support and development standpoint.

Amen brother! I saw the S6 in silver and was impressed by the look of it. when I saw the emasculated features of the side panels the first thing I thought of was: they are going to do something monumentally horrible to the note edge 2. Then I read the article I posted. I have not rooted the phone because, for the most part, it is a beast out the box. But if you are going to make the screen smaller, no removable battery, no card slot and have continually crappy support and development then I will stick with what I have until something better comes along. The sad part is that I am REALLY brand loyal. If you treat me right I will get in line to hand you my money for what I believe is something worthy to be purchased. Samsung is really making me question them. Yes, the note 5 is probably going to be a beast but I really like the Note edge dangnabbit and want them to just do what's right by the people they sold the edge to.
[Note Edge General] steve austin:
I took the plunge cuz so many people who flashed it said it made the phone run faster. no such luck here and my battery drains faster. If I could un-do it I would. But everyone's experience is not the same.
[Note Edge General] djsbad:
In all honesty, the phone itself is awesome! I love the note edge. The problem is samsung development. They could have blown this to the moon and beyond, but it seems like they are trying to pull backon the edge screen. Even kitkat had more to offer than lollipop. The lollipop update has removed quite a bit of the edge screen features that made it so attractive to begin with.

I'd still buy the edge, but if they keep removing edge screen features, then id rather go back the note 4
[Note Edge General] sbrownla:
Welcome to Samsung Folks

As much as I hate to say it, this is no different from what Samsung has always done in the past. This is their business model. The sooner they can obsolete devices, the sooner they can sell more.

The amazing thing is that they get the device to the point where it works very well, with the bare minimum features and stability they can get away with, and then totally forget about the device. The Gear S on my wrist, the Note 10.1 2012 and 2014, the Note 2, all of these devices Samsung got to work, worked out the majority of bugs, and left them without looking back.

This is what they do. Sadly, you buy a Galaxy device for what it is now, not what it can become in the future. They are locking them down tighter so developers can't do anything anymore, and carriers are loving every moment of it.

I watched videos of Samsung's developer conference and it was sparse. No one wants to mess with their devices anymore, and sadly, people messing with their devices is what got them to where they are now. That is what's changed. Just like jailbreaking iPhones was huge early on but fizzled out after Apple started to sell more devices based on the eye catching features outweighing the desire for customizability, rooting and building custom roms is fizzling out as Samsung sells crocksh*ts of Galaxy devices that have three or four excellent features that keep people buying them blindly without caring about customization.

Blogs are ignoring these issues brought up by OP because they are being paid or coerced or conned by Samsung into glorifying everything about the S6, while actively ignoring the Note. "If we give you this tester device, you aren't allowed to talk negatively about any of our other devices, and are limited to saying X, Y or Z about those other devices."

Samsung knows that the Note is the BEST phablet, or really, it is the BEST Android phone out there. Hands down. I'm not saying that because I like it, I'm saying it because based upon the balance between features and price, it is number one.

I have a Nexus 6. It isn't all that it is cracked up to be, and I wonder whether that's because Google is slacking off. In any case, I bought the Nexus a few days ago, and I'm already done with it. It is clearly a baseline phone. Current roms have nothing but kernel mods, everyone is trying to make it more "buttery smooth," and Xposed has been trampled by Samsung's big boot.

So what's really going on? Is Samsung thinking they don't have to try so hard because no matter what any other manufacturers do, they won't be able to match Samsung's eye catching features? Look at LG's attempts. They are good, but not ground breaking.

In any case, Google and manufacturers are taking back our customizability from us, and forcing us into the iPhone model, while throwing out a bone here and there and acting like Android is still the customizable and open ecosystem it has always been.

There it is.
[Note Edge General] jdidtht:
Dude, the market moves a an absolutely blistering pace.. Before one device is even completed the tech inside of it is basically obsolete think of it from an research and development standpoint. They have to develop the best device they can, which I feel they do a damn good job at, so during the time of development they have to already be looking ahead to the next iteration of the same device. It's a giant cycle of constant improvement that takes time to design, to then develop, to implement it , and then market the **** out of it and in background the new device is already begun it's design and development process .. Samsung more so that not, delivers a top of the line device consistantly.. we here on xda tend to be more knowledgeable and more used to the tech than the average consumer whom maybe coming from some crap device to even a note 3 which would blow their mind not to mention the note 4 or edge. Come on Samsung is constantly smashing the competing oems in tech and design. Htc doesn't count because their internals are absolutely horrible, I don't care what it looks like because I know it's a pile of garbage. LG just looks at Samsung and then kangs the f out of them. Their ui is so twiz like it's not even funny. Except it runs like crap. Nice cams that's it. Samsung does a damn fine job in my opinion. Better than any other oem by miles. They aren't perfect, but they are still the best.
[Note Edge General] z31k:
No one argues, it is the best of the tippity top phones on the market.. the argument is in the developement and lack of support. Its like buying a laptop in order to have adobe photoshop where ever you are, and then finding out that they will no longer offer adobe photoshop to that one model. And then you find out that the next model of the same laptop is getting adobe photoshop, office suite pro, 283tb of unlimited cloud storage, and a date with sofia vergara with a garanteed handjob.... tell me you wouldnt be just a lil upset.. lol
[Note Edge General] markyboy81:
I've recently upgraded to lollipop and at first I hated it - made my phone run slow, hot, and the battery drained super fast. As much as I hated doing it, I did the dreaded factory reset and restore, painstakingly loading back on the hundreds of apps and settings. But so far it's been worth it and the phone feels snappier than before. I can't really comment on battery life yet but hopefully that will be better too.

As for negatives I don't like that you can't deactivate the lollipop style notifications as now when browsing YouTube the notifications cover the screen.

Regarding the camera, I actually prefer to have the shutter button on screen, as it's easier to hit and the position of my fingers mean that I know longer get a finger in the shot!
[Note Edge General] five²squared:
I really wish I saw this thread yesterday!!! I just came home with the Sprint variant and found this two minutes after I updated to Lollipop and rooted.. Are you serious? Did I just drop $800 on "THE BEST DEVICE SINCE SILICON WAS DISCOVERED!!" that is basically a Betamax player already?!? (showing my age with that reference..) If I read y'all correctly, I'm stuck with TouchWiz, I can't discover that perfect "unknown" little custom ROM to flash, and I basically ruined the eponymous Edge by upgrading from 4.4.4? Really? K.. deep breath...
[Note Edge General] a_fuegon:
Lollipop has killed the Edge. It was a great phone out of the box with Kit Kat. Although AT&T shoved the update down our throats, the community has come through with a downgrade. Development has been slow but im sure and hope itll come around. Its my daily driver and I am more content with smaller mods and full functionality over full blown customization.
[Note Edge General] markyboy81:
How has it killed it? Sure there are some aspects I don't like but apart from slightly poorer battery life, lollipop is an improvement in my opinion.
[Note Edge General] arbit12:
'Killed' is a strong word.

For non root users, no camera button on edge and no weather on night clock. These are the major functionality downgrades.

I don't like the colours so much, but that's a personal choice. Some people don't like lollipop notifications, but again, personal choice.

On the other hand, there are new panels, better animations and visual feedback and overall smoothness. Battery life is the same or better for me after factory reset and settling down.

Some if the new 3rd party panels are great and work just fine on Lollipop as well.

For root users (including me) no xposed. But I must say I don't miss it so much, as most of the modules I used are built in. Some others can be handled by manual editing of system files.

Anyway, that is a touchwiz lollipop issue and nothing specific to the edge. Solutions are already emerging.

So, some minuses but overall positive for me.
[Note Edge General] five²squared:
I've had it for 3 days now so I can offer up an opinion.. Completely agree it's an awesome device and love nearly everything about it. First device I've had in LONG time that I shamelessly try to show off a little.. A couple of things are ridiculously bad tho. Have to charge it 3 times a day and it gets way to hot. Seriously thinking about flashing back to KK. My problem is I upgraded to L and rooted immediately after buying it (habit, first time it bit me in the ass) so I have nothing to compare it to. Any advice would be helpful. I've done all the usual for battery life with no effect. So Kitkat seems to be next thing to try.. Thx
[Note Edge General] Dave_247:
Each time I check XDA I feel a little sad to see not much going on like others have said. Sure the phone may be really gimmicky with the edge screen and all but I liked it. Having the app drawer on the side instead of the bottom is a simple but nice touch though, changing the camera app with Lollipop was a bit odd to do. I guess it was just accessibility winning over design choice.

I've been using Lillipop for quite a while now so it's a little difficult to recall what it was like on KK. Most if not all the gripes I've had with it are due to Google and the amount of changes they made in L (finally got Xposed working when I found a way to deodex the stock ROM I was using).

Personally I don't really like the S5 and S6 Edge screens and was always more of a fan of the Note series so... the Edge was basically just a fancier version of the Note 4 is what my first thought was when I saw it. I was going to upgrade from my Note 2 anyway so it was either the Note 4 or the Edge.

It's funny you mention that as I loved flashing my old Note 2 so to help fill the void I went and bought a Nexus 7 to play around with that. :p
[Note Edge General] five²squared:
That's ironic.. My two devices that I use as testers are a Note2 and 2012 Nexus7.. There aren't many mods and roms that haven't been flashed on those two old warhorses. That's part of my disappointment with my Edge. Even though it's cutting-edge and amazing, it already feels obsolete because of lack of support. Hope I'm not the only freak who feels this way..
[Note Edge General] Dave_247:
I think the fact that were all here loving this phone despite it's flaws makes us all freaks kinda. :P

But really I knew right from the start the Edge was going to be more of a unique kinda phone and sadly "unique" tech tends to not really have much done with it because well, none really knows what to do with it.

Same with the Gear S though if Samsung just went for putting Android on it instead of their own OS Tizen I think it would have been a lot more attractive for more people to buy. It's great what they do and all but it's almost like the stuff they release is the direct work of their R&D teams while the Galaxy S series is safe, easy and popular.

Maybe that's why I like it so much though, I can still show my phone or watch to whoever and always be sure to get a show of intrigue from them as it looks like a prototype almost and yet is a consumer product.

How many phones or devices can you say that for in this day and age when having a smartphone is the norm and showing it off you'd be simply met with indifference.
