Power on Edge Screen Without Power Button - Note Edge General

In playing around with my Verizon Note Edge today, I discovered I was able to turn on the Edge screen by quickly swiping from the bottom of the edge screen, up about a third of the way, and then quickly back down (starting at the top and swiping down and then back up also works). It turns on the night clock and then started scrolling showing any pending notifications...pretty sweet! I do have the flip case on the phone, but did remove it to test it without and it still seemed to work. I have not been able to find anything documented on this, but it worked for me. Anyone else? I am really glad I made the decision to wait for the Edge!

I use action launcher 3 as launcher replacement and it has a tap feature that allows you to tap on the screen to turn it off, similar to LG G2 and G3... I use it all the time. not the same as what you posted but I wanted to share just in case someone is wondering

This hidden features hardly people knows but I already know this thing.

This can also be a hassle as I found out when the edge screen kept on rubbing against the inside of my pocket and accidentally turn on and drain my battery.

You must have some pretty tight jeans for it to do that...

This is a really cool feature - I notice that your screen stays on for sometime while scrolling thru your notifications... I have the VZW Note Edge as well but my screen times out within 30 seconds regardless of what I have my "Edge screen timeout" set to in system settings / Edge Screen - is there another way to keep the Edge screen active or from timing out so quick?

Just with the setting you already mentioned...it seems to work for me.

Use the gravity app....
Excellent app. I only use the power button to turn phone on and off...
And the bonus has been I don't accidently turn off the screen when turning volume up and down... was a constant menace on my note 2

touch screen issues

Anyone else having their touch screen stop working property until they have to reboot? It's like it gets way off on where I'm actually clicking.
I have experienced that, but only after I had flashed the modaco rom. I basically returned to stock firmware this morning and am having to re-root my phone...
I have had a couple of occasions where it doesnt seem to respond correctly.
For me its like it looses the calibration, seemed to noticed it when the device is tilted horizontally.
reboot sorts it, only happened once or twice though.
If the phone is in your hand, make sure your other fingers aren't curling over the screen around the edges to much.
I noticed this happening, and backed my fingers off around the edge of the screen and it started working fine immediately.
I think the screen is just extra sensitive.
Curious if that helps.

I read somewhere (maybe on this forum even) that non-multi-touch systems have this problem. Have the same issue with my HTC Magic, but after a while you learn of a way to use the device single-handed while not touching the screen.
I dont know if this helps or not but I have no idea what you guys are talking about

The calibration problem (the screen registers a wrong spot than where you touched) comes up if you try to use a non-multi-touch phone single-handedly, so part of your palm (between the thumb and index fingers) touches the edge of the touch screen. Especially if you are trying to reach a top area of the screen while holding the phone with just that hand, likely some part of the palm touches the bottom of the screen.
If you want to try having the problem, you can touch the edge of the screen with a finger and try to click a link with another. It won't register the right spot.
Supposedly the problem should go away as soon as you lift that body part up from the screen.... so I don't know if this helps the OP or not.
same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=615711
does not look like its happening all the time. Ran few tests and still can't duplicate the problem in order to find the cause. so far this happened about 3-4 times on my phone.
i hope this gets resolved soon and that its not the touchscreen issue.

I've had this exact thing happen to me a few times. I notice the tip of a finger on the edge of the screen, move it, then it works fine right after. Sometimes happens with the base of my thumb hitting the bottom left corner too.
Just make sure you're not accidentally touching any of the touch area and it'll work fine.

I have had this same issue on my G1 as well a N1. This problem only happens from time to time, as happes with stock ROMs and custom ROMs.
For the N1, I was initial pulling the battery; however, I have found that if I hold the power button down (don't let go) and then touch the screen to unlock or power if off.
I have a friend with the Eris who was having the same problem; Verizon released a patch earlier in the week that seems to have solved the problem for him.

You can perform a soft reset on the Nexus One by holding volume down, the trackball, and pressing the Power button on top. A half second later, your phone will reboot.
I am also having these touch screen problems, and I can confirm I am not touching any other part of the screen to have it interfere with the non-touch-screen interface. I been testing with what people has been saying on here with having any other part of the screen being pressed, so I have been testing it out and I can say its a different response then what I'm experiencing.
Here is what is going on with my nexus one:
1) it happens at random times (my device is on my table and I am pressing buttons with one finger)
2) it only affects the bottom-left portion of the screen when it happens, touching everywhere else is fine
3) it thinks I'm pressing an area around the soft keys, an example is if I press 'A' it thinks I press either the '?123' or the 'back' button, same if I press 'd' it thinks I'm pressing the 'menu' button.
I can conclude that since not all nexus one owners has this problem it is a device issue, which what is going on is probably the same as if someone was accidentally pressing a part of the screen, but it could be part of the device is assembled incorrect or deformed. The physical form of my phone is off on the right side, I can feel the gray plastic part next to the black border next to the right of the screen is a little more raised then the left side.
But there is my experience with whats going on to me and my two cents.
Ive had this a little bit on my device as well, but I think it's a software issue since it went away when I pressed the home button.
edit:
Also it has happened exclusively in Dolphin browser
here too
Sporadically, it happens with my N1 as well. When pointing at the middle of the screen (in a list for example), the input registers 2 cm below my fingertip. Rebooting fixes this temporarily but it is annoying.
A SW update could perhaps cure this behaviour?

I just had this happen for the first time, all my presses were registering way below where i was touching, tilting into landscape in an app then back to portrait fixed it for me.
So now it happened to me too. I have the Nexus One for almost two weeks and I never had the unresponsive touchscreen. Of course I noticed that the center of the softbuttons is shifted upwards and that they don't register very well in the middle where they should and I had the problem before that the sms text input box didin't registered in the center so that the keyboard wasn't popping out but that is all only a problem of adjustment. Today in the morning after my phone was on standby over night I put in the charger to charge it and I got an email with pictures. I scrolled through the email and all of a sudden the screen became totally unresponsive. I tried to scroll and the screen registered at a complete different place. All of a sudden the email was gone because the phone registered the delete button even though I never pressed it. I could close the gmail program but I had a hard time to scroll between the home screens and the live wallpaper became unresponsive too. I decided to do a restart but I had a hard time to press the shutting down button because it was unresponsive too. This all happened not after heavily usage of the phone but after maybe 1 minute usage.
I am sure that I didn't touch another part of the screen when this occured because I realized before already that the screen becomes wacky if you touch it at two different places (lack of multitouch, so stupid to disable it). I hope that this is a software issue too. I can live at the moment with the 3G problem because it doesn't stop me from using the phone. The unresponsive touchscreen scares me more because because it becomes completely unusable.
i've noticed this with low battery. Twice its happened to me, the first time was when i first recieved the handset. and secondly was this morning when my phone was off with no battery again.
anybody want to leave their battery to empty out and try test if this is correct?
I've had this happen a few times in the ten days i've had the phone. I always make sure I'm not double dipping on the screen, and its easy to do since it will exhibit this behavior for a few minutes.
In my experience battery level has no effect on it.
A reboot always fixes the issue.
I figure it's software based.

Tip: No circle case needed to check the time

I haven't seen this tip posted yet so I thought I'd put it up.
You don't need to have one of those fancy circle cases to see what the time is. You don't even have to press the power button or tap the screen. While the screen is off, swipe your finger from the top to the middle of the screen. It will show you a clock that disappears as soon as soon as you lift your finger. It will also show you your notification bar. So if you have your lock screen set to not show you any notifications, you can use this method to see if you have a text or email or whatever, with out having to unlock your phone.
EDIT: This doesn't appear to work on all phones. YMMV.
You can do it from the middle of the screen also. Just slide your finger downwards.
And of course... it doesn't work on the at&t model.
Doesn't seem to work for me...
Is it double tap then swipe? I'm trying all sorts of tapping combinations and nothing interesting is happening, other than the screen turning on as normal when you double tap
Place thumb on screen, slide down. The screen has to be off of course.

-Turn screen off
-Put finger anywhere on screen
-Without releasing, swipe down
-Release finger
Is that right? I've tried about 10 times and I'm getting nothing. Is there a setting to enable/disable this somewhere? I might have disabled it by mistake
You have to keep your thumb on the screen. As soon as you lift your finger, the screen goes back to sleep. You should notice the notification light come on if its working.

It's kind of annoying. I found this awhile ago.
If you can't get it to work ya the screen, one-one-thousand,then swipe down.
I am amazed how people don't find this out on their own within the first hour of handling the phone.

Oh, this only works with activated lockscreen. I had mine off.
In case you guys haven't read the instruction manual that came with the phone, all gestures and tips are in there.

Is there a way to disable this?
From what I've read, it does not work on AT&T models. And I don't think there is a way to disable the function, for models that have it.
And of course it's in the insanely small/thin font that you have no chance of reading if you're long sighted but aren't wearing your reading glasses (e.g. when you wake up during the night).

Correct. Your Lock Screen must be set to at least Swipe, and the screen must be locked at the time. It won't work on None, or if your phone hasn't locked yet due to setting a Lock timer after the screen timeout.
At risk of sounding dense, what is the main benefit of this? I rarely use this, but don't recall seeing notifications with it, at least not the sort that show you a text. I see a clock and the status bar at the top (signal strength, etc).
If I want to see the time, I could wake the screen up, including by double-tapping (so no need for access to the rear buttons). I see more notifications that way as well. One advantage of this would be if I'm in a dark room, and I'm trying to avoid disturbing people by lighting up the whole screen. But at least for me, that scenario is not common.
Am I just missing something about what makes this feature handy?
It's useless imo. And what annoys me more is the fact, that I can't turn it off.
I'm wondering if disabling swipe views and doubled tap to screen on actually increases battery life. My nexus 5 with custom kernel had that function but battery drain was significant.

Honestly it is just easier. Instead of Double Tapping to turn on, checking for notifications (if you have none or none you are concerned with), then double tapping off.
It is a quick peek. Shows you the time and notifications. You don't always have to wake your phone by double tapping. It is a 1 quick swipe gesture that turns the screen on, shows you relevant information, and turns off in 1 swoop.
I use it ALL the time. I have the Verizon model btw. Whether you use it or not, it is a super nice feature and just something that really adds to the convenience.

[Q] Disabling the touchscreen on the edges?

*** MOD EDIT: thread closed, please go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/hate-edge-screen-how-disable-t3442697 ***
I often find myself inadvertently touching a bit of the screen when I hold my phone (usually when I'm lying in bed) and it's pretty annoying. I don't like having to shift my grip to just the sides as I constantly feel like I'm about to drop it.
I've also found that I simply don't use any of the edge features aside from sometimes the "Edge panels" which is restricted to a narrow part of the right edge next to the power button. Is there a way to disable a few milimeters of the touchscreen on both sides and even better, have a 'cutout' to activate the edge panel?
No doubt people will read this and wonder why I got an Edge in the first place, and not the standard S7. It was for the looks, bigger battery and bigger screen.
Hey, i got the s7 edge a few weeks ago too and this is annoying me a lot as well. Did you manage to fix it somehow?
I started a better thread for this at https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/hate-edge-screen-how-disable-t3442697/page2
Mods, please close this one.

this is my second Note 4, and has the same problem, random apps openly randomly

First phone had the camera problem, so I had it replaced, but both phones open apps that are not on the screen whenever I pick up the phone or put it down. I hold the phone on its sides, I do not accidentally touch the screen, I do not touch the buttons on either side, and even if I did, the app that opens will always be an app that is not on the screen I have touched. This is obviously some weird Note 4 problem, since both phones have done it and both phones did not even have the same apps installed, it seems to involve the way I hold the phone; holding it in my hand by the sides and walking around with it will sometimes open an app also, but mostly when I either pick it up or put it down, again fingers not touching anything but the sides of the phone, and not the buttons on the sides of the phone either, the only way I can avoid this is to black the screen with the right side button before I put the phone down or in my bag, as otherwise it will open a random app. I think I have gone on long enough to describe this situation, so does anyone have any ideas??

thanks for the info.
Have you check the Notification Panel to see if you have Touch Sensitivity enabled?
thanks for the reply, no, I didn't enable that on either phone.
Just wanted to share: I've had the same happen to me. On one occasion, my phone uploaded and sent pictures to one of my contact as I was was watching. I immediately suspected something nefarious. When I came across this post, I had to share.
I'd recommend that you remove the screen protector from your device if you use one, and see if that helps.
haha bruce lee roy, and to iceepyon, yes I had a glass screen protector on the first phone, but nothing on this one as I want it to break accidentally so I have to buy something new, but again both phones have the same behaviour with and without any screen protector. Really, nobody has had this problem at all with a Note 4 besides me?

Question Change a few settings

Hello all!
My Razer Phone 2 stopped charging. This is how my Razer Phone 1 also died, basically the charging port went bad, then worse, then died completely.
Anyway I got the Nothing instead, since price and specs fit me pretty fine.
However I want to change a few things. I might be blind in the settings menu, but I'm hoping you'll still help me!
I got a few points I'd like changed, and no amount of googling helped me here:
1. The phone turns on the screen when I pick it up. But there are often mistakes, and the screen just turns on by itself when I'm walking with it in my hand, or in my pocket. It has happened already a few times, after having for phone for 48 hours, that I have dismissed some notifications because of this. Can I stop this function all together?
2. I can also press the screen once and the screen will turn on. This is also a problem when the phone is in my pocket. On my Razer I had to double tap and it still turned on sometimes in my pocket. I ran the Razer phone with Nova Launcher, maybe I have to change to this launcher from the Nothing one to get this double tap feature?
3. I can turn off the screen by double tapping on the home screen. That is a feature I always use and appreciate. I never put the phone screen down so the lights on the backside won't get used. I always double tap to turn on the screen, check for notifications, and double tap to turn the screen off should there be no notifications. Nothing phone won't turn off the screen with a double tap unless I actually unlock it, so I can't do a quick check for notifications by double tapping and double tapping again. It won't matter if the phone is on a table, but I frequently check notifications and put the phone back to my pocket, and having to go for the screen button is not exactly for me. Do I need Nova Launcher here?
4. I NEVER use sounds on my phone, except for the alarms. When someone calls me while the screen is turned off, the screen turns off and I get vibration. If the screen is on I won't get any vibration from it, only a visual notification which is easy to overlook if I let it sit with the screen on but locked if I just checked notifications. Also I like the feedback in my hands in case I am doing something on the phone. I already missed some calls because of this. Can it be changed?
5. Is it possible to manipulate the glyph on the backside? I found a "secret" setting which makes them light up to the music playing, but that became pretty annoying just after 5 seconds. Are there some basic things you can do with the light? Like making a custom event and then specify how the light should react? Could be something simple like when a call is active the lights come on very dim? Maybe a 3rd party app someone did?
6. The Razer Phone 2 (and 1) has HUGE speakers in the top and bottom, so I have been living with pretty big bezels. The Nothing has the same size but the phone is almost 100% screen. If I need to go to the bottom and press a back button or something, I cannot reach anymore like on the Razer. Is there a way to add some virtual bezels on Android?
7. I really hate this "notch" or "camera bump". It is a bit of the same as number 6, but can I remove it completely, so the top of the screen where the camera is won't be used at all? The whole line, effectively adding more bezel here too.
I am probably picky, but I have used my phone in a specific way for my whole life, and I am not really good with changes. Also I think a phone should adapt to my needs, and I shouldn't adapt to it.
Thanks for reading and hopefully helping
To be honest, sounds like the Nothing Phone isn't the right device for you.
I like to know the answer to question 1 too.

1. There is an option to turn this feature off under Display->Lock Screen called Lift to show lock screen.
2. Don't know, but you should try using the Nova Launcher.
3. Don't know, but you should try using the Nova Launcher.
4. Very niche use case, you can try to search some root methods.
5. There is root app which can control the light you can try that.
6. and 7. There should be some root apps or magisk modules which allows to do that.
To 2: (I dont know if this works on NothingOS since im on Paranoid Android. But both are very near to stock, maybe it works for you or for others.) I disabled that tap to activate setting and am using fingerprint while screen is off. This can also act as a quick look for notifications, for that i tap where the fingerprint reader is really short so it fails to unlock. This way only the always on display shows up for 3-4 seconds.
Nova wont change anything lockscreen related.
To 5: If you have root, time and like playing around with commands and apps, you can try tasker. Since im on Paranoid Android and the glyphs arent really implemented yet, i made a task that fits my needs perfect.
To your other problems: i think too, the phone should adapt to the user. So i suggest you to wait, i guess there will come roms that are way more customizable.
And maybe a pixel would fit your needings better than this phone because there is a big custom rom scene around.
