So I ordered my Edge and then went to Best Buy to mess around with them. I noticed the edges are not as deep as the Galaxy Note. I know the Note is a little thicker, but I was a little bummed that there weren't many widgets for the Edge already installed. Anyone have any input on this or are we going to have to wait until rooting takes effect and people start building the widgets so the edge actually gets good use.
Guess we'll just wait and see
the Edge is only for "looks" and less functional than the Note Edge...
doubt there would be much use of the Edge because again, it's just suppose to be a phone to "impress" people how C00L it looks lol...

Got the edge don't real use any of the edge features, but still found it worth it with visual experiences you get with the cured screen.
For those of you that haven't found this yet, don't thank me. Thank the app developer. This app is prefect for the Edge.

I only noticed the new LTE icon. BUT my battery life improved dramatically! Also it fixed a couple of the 5.1 bugs like lingering S Pen icon and Headphone icon but my edge notifications are still working.

Did it fix fingerprint lock?

It did not I noticed there is a tiny bit of lag when using the pattern unlock now too. It takes a half a second for the phone to unlock after entering the pattern. Overall though my phone is running smoother with near zero lag except when unlocking.

That sucks. Thanks! It's annoying I had to turn it off because it would randomly freeze and kick me back to the lockscreen after a few seconds of being frozen. Took me a while to figure out it was the fingerprint lock causing it. Note 4 also had the problem but according to them it was fixed on their last ota. My phone has been a nuisance since lollipop smh

facebook not working
After this update I have the same error that lte icon is not revolving, I believe it isn't connecting to the Spark network.
The other big problem is that my facebook app (official) was crashing, so I uninstalled it and when I try to install via Google Play it doesn't install giving me the -500 error.
I looked in the logcat and it has to do with the some permissions. This was an android bug in 5.0.1 but google fixed it, but with this OTA it has crept up again.
Would it be possible for someone to upload a flashable zip?
Update does fix the fingerprint bug. Working flawlessly since putting it back. Overall phone feels snappier like the day I first bought it. Also like that they got rid of the dreaded spinning spark icon plus signal on band 41 no longer displays just one bar and instead is showing 4-6 bars while inside home! Battery life also took some improvements from this ota.

It'll just be the same pattern after note 5 gets marshmallow. Their phones always work great with the original os it comes pre installed with till they update and it's a mess. Been like that since my S1. They lucky I'm a committed Samsung head although I'm tempted to test the Nexus 6p..

Anyone know anything about regaining root with this?
My Spark connection took a hit. I'm no longer doing 70+ mbps. When I run a speedtest the build up starts off slow and then picks up. B4 update it would fly straight to like 50 and keep increasing. Now I start of like at 10 and by the end reach around 30-40 mbps. I want a new update with new radios ?

Sprint has removed the Wal-Mart Spark icon in recent updates on other phones, in fact, they seem to be discontinuing the mention of Spark in general.

I hope others do not have this issue. Root Metrics is using the Note Edge to test the Sprint network and some results have been not favorable (others have been). Last thing they need is an update to make it worse!

I don't care about the little spark star. I'm talking about my speeds in general. Seems the radios in this update are not as great.. I like that the retarded star is gone and actually the way lte is being measured is better on band 41 then when we had the old icon. Before it would just sit at 1 bar but now I'm almost maxed out. Ps Spark is still a thing they just removed the icon because a lot of us hated it.

Can anybody know how to build pre-rooted for this ROM? I need help to build pre-rooted rom on windows OS but i only find tutorial to make pre-rooted rom for samsung on linux OS. Sorry for my english!
I noticed the icon change as well the other week. Overall, the phone seemed to run better, at least to me. I purchased the Nexus 6P last week and really love the phone, however, doesn't work well with my Gear S watch..........and I miss it. I'm thinking of reactivating my Note Edge......anybody want a new Nexus 6P, Frost, 128gb?

There appear to be NEW edge panels, (been 3months since i checked for panels so my just be new to me)
Did a Speed Test result were very poor 6MB Down 20MB Up Brooklyn NYC.

How is your battery life and is the camera button back on the Edge screen?
Camera button is still on the main screen, just took my phone off the charger will update end of the day with battery usage.
I am not happy with the update. It seems to have disabled the ability to detect my wallet cover. Now when I open and close it the phone does nothing. Instead it just stays showing the screen and nothing on the edge. That is not going to help my battery life. Also, when my alarm went off this morning it didn't give me the option to dismiss the alarm through the edge panel. I had to open the cover, which it didn't recognize and dismiss it on the screen. If you really can't go back to an older version I am just going to trade the phone in and get a Note 5. I loved the Edge but if it is losing some of the best functionalities it has then it is not worth staying with it. If anyone is able to help make the adjustments, at least for the wallet cover that would be appreciated.

I did factory reset, clear everything and the phone runs significant faster. Scrolling and transition are very buttery smooth. Camera button is not back tothe edge. Battery life seems good, but I will test more about that.
It seems the ram management is fixed as well.

Christ, they really screwed this phone. The best phone ever and they just abandoned it. I suppose it will get worse with M. Why even bother to update this device if you are gonna just gonna give us Note 4. It would be a little less dismissive if they included the new Touchwiz and its features but its just an Android update. Thanks for the input. Looks like its 4.4.4 for life. The Wallet cover (Flip OEM Case) is the best case for this phone and if it doesn't work along with an increasing castration of Edge Screen features, I'm not installing it

Ok I would really like you to list the edge features that have been stripped because I have yet to see any. The camera button was moved off the edge because there was too many complaints of people accidentally taking photos. I think it was a good adjustment, other than that the edge has always been what the edge was supposed to be, an extra screen. I love my note edge and I think it is one of the best android phones out there. The edge screen enhances the way I use my phone because I never have to leave the screen i'm on to access something different and it also cuts down on the amount of mods I need to install because the edge does a good job compensating for pie launchers and other shortcuts. The edge screen has only gotten better in my opinion

Bad idea (Note 5, S, whatever) No removable (i.e. replaceable) battery and no additional storage (sd card)
The only thing that I actually noticed was the Google messenger app I use stopped sending mms messages until I uninstalled it. I have had the update for two hours now but have not seen any battery improvements or any other changes. I don't know if there are any new apps and I did not know about the new vide feature. Speed and battery are my main worries with any new updates. I will give it 48 hours before I make a determination. If it sucks then back to kitkat it is.

Good Lord, how do you accidentally take a picture on the Edge Screen? Its literally out on the other screen. If anything , having a shutter button on the screen makes it super easy to take a picture. When I was on 5.0.1 some notifcations would pop on on screen and my poweramp lock screen would bug out. Also the android player on the edge screen would dissappear every now and then so I couldn't toggle my music on the edge screen
Im really enjoying the new MM 601 update on my S6 Edge...
This is entirely from my own Opinion, so feel free to chime in with any comments..
In the beginning.. the edge features were very limited to a Night Clock, a gimmicky multi-coloured contacts ringer and a few tickers, but now after the 601 update.. the Edge has become so much more worth it over the vanilla S6..
FINALLY, SS have included access to all apps to use on your side swipe edge.. like the Note Edge and the Edge plus..
Sleep battery life has been improved .. (although im still testing this)
Theyve removed more apps for you to add yourself.
(S6 always had this) Nice to see SS are now including MS Office apps as an option to Google Drive (OneDrive suite is far better for using it on any device)
Finally, we now have Shutter Speed (Edge Plus) and improved camera and UI features..
The 4G modem reception has been inproved, here in the UK on EE, I was getting 0 or 1 bar on 4G, now Im getting 3 - 4 bars.. which is great, but this varies from region to region, but here its better.
Sadly though, as of yesterdays edge app update 28/2.. they removed the Night Clock.. Why?- EDIT: Its in settings, not Edge, my bad
Your stuck with Yahoo news, so far I havent found away to change to another app..
Theyve removed the nice Lock screen swipe effects, not a biggy IMO, but I liked it..
So all in all, Ide say that the MM update is a great update to the S6 Edge and IMO, makes the Edge a much more attractive buy over the S6, so great work Samsung... BUT
Its took Samsung a whole year to get here, which IMO, these features shouldve been in the Edge since 511, I understand they had to make the Edge Plus
(we didnt get the Note 5 here in UK) an attractive buy as well, and obviously.. as the S6 has now been replaced by the S7, theyre giving the Edge everything..
but really SS.. a Whole Year,
Anyway Good work Samsung..

Agreed.. Its the first Ive ever been Impressed by a Samsung update EVER... I know when Android switched to the ART file system in Lollipop, it was a huge improvment for everyone.. but Sammy have just struggled with performance.. until now.
Plus with the likes of One Plus, Motorolla, LG and now newbies Huawei offering some better and cheaper alternatives... Samsung cant really afford to just push out half baked updates, they gotta get their game face on... and lets just hope they dont try and pull another Apple with the S7 (SD Card back and bigger battery) coz it might just cost them even more than just a few lower quarter sales like it did with the S6..
What is the status of memory consumption in MM update?
After playing with themes stuck at bootloop and after hard reset I do not have the same ui experience as before.
My device turns a little lugy....
Is it just me but the photos I took from Lollipop is much better than from the MM?
Its a little grainy when I upgraded to MM. Anyone experiencing the same thing?
Hi,
after the update i dont have the option to have weather on the lockscreen, neither the steps and google now on tap doesnt seems to be present. Anyone with the same problems ? Any Fix ?
I'm on Vodafone RO.
Thanks

Cant say Ive noticed this.. flashed MM out of the box so..
Its supposed to be a batter camera experience all round.. I read anyway (Taken from the Edge Plus).. we now have Shutter Speed and a Kelvin (ala LG G4) for White Balance, which incidentally, they set it the wrong way round.. hehe, nice one SS. (slide it into the Blue section and the screen goes Yellow or warmer.. and vice versa), thats easily fixed though
Your right JurGGen.. No weather, although if you goto settings > Lock Screen and Security > Notifications on LockScreen .. Weather is there in the list, but maybe it only shows when theres Snow or Rain.
Theres a Weather App in the Samsung Apps Store.. Its under Updates.. ... find it under LockScreen security.,.. That might help, but dont know... Never been one for Weather on Lockscreen.
I installed the new update from T-Mobile today and I'm happy to report it has fixed the screen sensitivity issues. I no longer get ghost taps and my palm on the edge of the display doesn't register.
Also, typing on the keyboard is much improved due to screen sensitivity being dialed back. I can also notice a change in haptic feedback.
I will report back regarding battery life and other issues.fixes.
Thanx, well done!

This update fixed the frame rate issues I was seeing in PPSSPP. Unfortunately, I don't play other 3d Android games so I can't comment on those.
Some of my apps were laggy when scrolling through menus. The update fixed a handful of them, but several still remain laggy (such as Yelp, SwiftKey).
There's already a thread on this here
