[Note Edge General] markyboy81:
I've owned quite a few Samsung devices that have seemed to be proof of concept, soon to be forgotten by Samsung. The list includes Galaxy camera (as far as I know never updated), gear fit, Edge and Galaxy NX. My favourite have to be the Edge and Galaxy NX - although this camera has never been updated (and probably never will), it's a fantastic bit of kit, offering the unique combination of top class image quality on the android platform.

I think it's safer to buy something if you're content with how it is now, rather than relying on it being updated. That being said, it's unforgivable to offer an update that renders some original features useless, or makes the performance of the device suffer.
[Note Edge General] robroy90:
I'd generally agree. I had been using a T-Mo Note 4 since it was introduced, and my son started having problems with this Note 3, so I gave him my 4 and went out and bought the Edge. I knew it was a pretty fringe device, but the edge screen intrigues me. I am also concerned that the Note 5 is not going to have a a memory card slot or removable battery. Those two elements are mandatory to me.

I have only had the Edge about a week, but I am generally happy. I have TEKHD's Lollipop ROM on it (and I am normally a stock kinda guy) and I have xposed on it and just put Wanam on last night.

The battery life does leave much to be desired, but with the quick charge 2.0 capability, plus my extra batteries and external charger, I am good. Screen protector options suck though. I haven't found a truly optically clear dry protector that will literally hold the edge. The wet one I have on there now has that damn "orange peel" look to it (optically transparent my arse).

So, I am glad I bought it. I like playing with it, and the edge night clock alone makes it worth the buy. Love that feature. I have a feeling the rumored 5.1 update will help battery life, and if not, no big deal. I can go from 15% to 100% in about 30 seconds. Try that with an S6... :)
[Note Edge General] five²squared:
Those are all good points.. I am amazed at the charge quickness and the night clock is a simple thing that alone makes you wonder why it took so long for the edge concept to be realized. (esp. because no one uses a standard alarm clock anymore). I'm really not complaining about such a great piece of technology.. All I have to do is think back 40 years and remember wind-up alarm clocks, pay phones, and 8-track tapes to realize how lucky (and spoiled rotten) we are today..
[Note Edge General] Ahmed Alshaali:
no custom rom the phone is useless for me i buy it from release date and till today no life in the phone so i disappointed from Samsung to make many stupid model so for now i will wait for LG g4 if there is good rom i will sell my phone if not i will wait for nexus
[Note Edge General] JF-GINO:
I agree with most of the opinions within this post- However, Us Canadian Edge owners have sammy & our telcos giving it to us in the rear while all other variants have either stock, custom or updated WORKING roms.

My problems are not with the phone, but the version of the Rom released for our model.

(I have gone thru 2 phones so far)

Problems which no other models rom has which both of my phones have/had:

1) Phone does not wake up

2) text messages take 3 tries to send

3) launcher force closes if left on standby for more then an hour

4) wifi NEVER EVER remembers passwords

5) Wifi keeps disconnecting

6) low or inconsistent signal

7) audio playback gets choppy when screen is off

8) camera starts to lag if opened for a long time

9) reboots at random after about a week

10) general force closes and micro lags

11) text message scrolling crashes if you have allot of texts

Now, for my support argument:

1) We do not have a stock rom, nor is there one available from Samsung, our telcos or even on Sammoblie

2) We have absolutely no development for our varient and its hard to get development when we dont even have a stock rom

3) Our telcos cant confirm to us if there will be an upgrade to lolli and might stop selling the device

4) I cant sell my device until an update so at least this is a working phone.

I have installed the Hyperdrive rom for t-mobile WHICH does fix ALLLLLL these problems....... Except one Very important thing!!! Our baseband is not compatible so the phone is useless!!! and we cant flash anything else.

Now, do you have all these problems?

No? are you on lollipop? does your phone work? do you have stock available? do you have any updates, mods, custom roms, ports........ Anything?

We dont. :)

PS - If u want a reason to belly ache, buy the w8 model.
[Note Edge General] robroy90:
Wow... had no idea Canadians had it so rough. Which carrier? I am sorry to hear it. I can't believe they won't do something for an apparently horrible release. Makes me wonder how it was released in such a buggy state.
[Note Edge General] five²squared:
I thought you canucks were tougher than that! Having to fight grizzly and polar bears for dinner; other sports too wimpy for you so you invent one with razor blades on your feet and mauling clubs in your hands...man up! Just kidding with you, that's almost criminal that they stuck you with that end of the bargain.. Not sure understand what you mean by "no stock ROM".. No Android platform at all? How exactly are you making phone calls? Tying a long string between two Edge's? Sounds like you have Canadian Sprint.. I feel for you brother.
[Note Edge General] JF-GINO:
We have 3 primary carriers in Toronto, Bell, Rogers (Mine) and Telus and 2 more Nation wide.

Dont know what asses beta tested the firmware, but its newer then most KK ones out in the U.S.

All 3 have the same Rom version and non are available on sammobile. Apparently, Sammy and/or the carriers are not willing to release it. They all wont talk about it either.

Most users dont use these phones to there full potential and are not power users like us spoiled types with our rooted, custom rom and modded awesomeness so its easy to see that 'Some' of these bugs can be hidden from the commoner .

LMAO! I did however fashion my edge into an axe to chop some wood for the fire last week!

I have managed to tie a tea saucer to the back and flash a copy of windows phone to this and Im happier then a polar bear in a winter storm now! But seriously, What I mean is that we do not have our stock samsung rom available to download from any source. I still have hyperdrive on my unit and even tho I cant make a call on it, it works awesome with that rom. I just carry my G3 with me to make calls ;)
[Note Edge General] five²squared:
Frickin Hilarious.. Great to see you have a sense of humor about it. Unfortunately most ppl wouldn't.. I'm glad I didn't pile on and mention that I'm from Tampa and my Lighting are ......oops .. At least you can flash a ROM though.. My Sprint Edge, while not seemingly on the verge of detonating like yours, is probably forever stock, or close to it.. (digging hard for a bright side for you man..):rolleyes::cool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] magicalhen:
I've got a stock Verizon S4, currently running 4.4.2. Now I am getting an OTA for Lollipop, and wondering if I should do it. I don't want to do it and find various things are broken, and end up posting irate threads about how my battery life is terrible now, etc...

Any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you're going to post irate threads like that, you want to do it over at http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-verizon instead of the international S4 forum, where this was originally posted.

In answer to your question, it's up to you if you want to do it. But be aware that because your device has a locked bootloader, it may be a one-way trip. Meaning if you don't like the new version of Android you may not be able to go back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] myawan:
Kitkat is way better than lollipop at the moment, so you shouldn't update. But if you have a lot of free time and can sustain frustration and depression then you can try. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gezze:
Don't do that. You won't have enough space for all your apps !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Ric-:
Care to elaborate why? My S4 runs WAYYYY better with Lollipop than it ever did with KitKat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidnandroid:
Still the problems persist. Some of the problems I am facing are: 1. Random apps crash 2. Home wallpaper goes blank 3. Browser crashes too much 4. Music player suddenly stops playing 5. Random freezes occurin the menu 6. Sometimes contacts take a long time to show. 7. My flip cover stops working None of the problems were present in my kitkat.

These bugs are present in lollipop there's no proper ran management and lot of memory leak problem is there

Hemmm i've forget a thing..

The PDA Charges only 1 time at boot.. why?

I've cortocircuited pins 1 and 2, with the male usb jack in front of you and the white plastic in the low side.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Underground Fighter:
very nice ... what's the usb port for?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] TheGadgetGuy:
The phone will only charge once because you will need to short pins 4 and 5 on the mini USB side of your connector.

To simplify, the TyTN looks for this short to decide what to do with the USB connection. You need to trick it into thinking that the USB cable is a charger.

There's another thread on this somewhere else. It might be a bit difficult to solder, but it'll work.

Oh. One more thing: Your phone will charge more than just the once (after a reboot)... It should also charge if it's turned off (standby). Might take a minute or so, but it should work.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenoztz:
Hi,

I had update the phone to the newest Lollipop update from Sony. At the beginning in the first 2-3 days the phone works wonderfull.Verry snappy and responsive.

But after those first days of joy the problems appeared.

The camera become very laggy. The battery drains in 7-8 hours and the phone is overheating. Even I keep the phone in my pocket, it becomes very hot without touching it.

And if I read something on my RSS feed, in about 5 minutes the battery drains 2-3%

I allready saw many people reported thoes esues and it seems that the only solution is a hard reset to factory default.

Witch I will do, because right now the phone is quite usefull and anoing.

My questions for you are:

1- is there any other method but resetting the phone?

2- how do I backup EVERYTHING from the phone? Contacts I can manage with pcCompanion, but how can I save all aps and their data? Games for instance...I'd like to keep my ingame progress.

I'm new to android comming from 5 years of iphone. On IOS this opertion was really simple due to a full backup on cloud. And after a reset - or switch to a new phone - everything was restored as it was from cloud.

Can I do the same thing on android? I wold prefer using google and cloud.

thanks
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
Google syncs all of your contacts automatically, so after the phone resets, simply log in to your google account and the contacts will be restored. You can do the same with photos/videos and music using google photos and google music. Google can also remember which apps you had installed and re-install them automatically, but you can't do anything about settings. Those will always have to be re-done manually.

However, a few things I'd like to report is that I .gif files don't load on reddit is fun and I can't view videos on twitter. Also, using the vortex application, the stream doesn't load. These all previously worked on Sultan's kitkat, so go figure.

I have upgraded to L using Walter's method. Everything is pretty much good except that I can no longer get a GPS fix in any app I use. I can see plenty of satellites (upwards of 21), but will not get a fix...seemingly ever (I let it try on a 2 hour drive). To clarify, GPS worked quite well on 4.x.

I've tried a few workarounds such as:

GPS settings to get assist data

secret code to rebuild nvm or something like that

turning on and off high accuracy

performed the hardware hack mentioned in the general forum

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaXi32:
There were 2 many reasons why it is very slow to get GPS lock but one problem that I know 100% causes the GPS to lock slowly and not at all because of the aluminium back case that I was using on my galaxy note 3. I tested the GPS status toolbox with back case aluminium and sometimes the GPS lock took long time to fix and sometimes it did not lock at all! But supprisingly, when I remove the back case cover, I don't have that problem anymore. So, check if you have the back case aluminium. Something is interfering with the GPS signal. Now my note 3 is naked without back case but I'm happy this solved the issue. As I said this is one of the problem that caused the GPS lock issue. Perhaps there are more...
