Hello all,
Just got my Note Edge (SM-915P) as a upgrade from a Galaxy S4. So far I'm happy with it. The screen is sharp, it's fast, and feels good in my hand. Been reading alot on this forum, thanks to everyone who has contributed. Now I'm off to root it!

Hello avenging!
I've noticed quite a bit of difference on Sprint Spark (my old S4 was the non Spark version). I got the Rasta Banana screen protector in today and while it covers the entire screen, it's too stiff so it doesn't conform to the rounded curve of the Edge. I'm reading up on the rooting process, looking forward in getting it done. How do you like the Note Edge so far?

The best screen protector that I've found so far is the Skinomi. The dry application ones don't seem to stay attached to the Edge screen for very long.
Hello slimc84, appreciate the heads up on the skinomi, will check it out. I had the invisableshield glass on my S4 and it was amazing, guess I got spoiled with that.

I have the S6 Edge and I want to know if the S7 Edge suffers from the same issue.
If I look at the screen (with any app that has a white background e.g. Settings) I can see patches all over it. Not scratches, but patches. Kind of like an orange peel effect. It's not a serious problem but just a little annoying. I also have the regular S6 and it has no such issues. In fact I prefer the regular screen in terms of quality.
But if you have the S7 Edge, please let me know if you have this issue.
Much appreciated.
Did you get a refurbished s6? I can't see any of those issues with my s7
No it was brand new, sealed. My S6 doesn't have it, only my S6 Edge has it. So you have no issues with the screen at all then? I'm considering getting the S7 Edge.
I am up for refresh and my options are S7 or S7 edge. I get my phone through the company I work for, and unfortunately the new note is not on the table.
I guess I am looking to hear from folks who have been using the edge. Is it better?
I get that the battery is a bit better which is great, but I am on the fence about the edge screen. Is it useful? Do you like it for it's aesthetics, or is it just annoying?
I know that the edge screen makes the phone a bit more vulnerable, which is an entirely different concern. Just looking to get 2-4 cents from people who have the phone before I buy. Thx!!

Personaly I went for the edge mostly for the bigger battery.. but I guess the design aswell.
Yes the curved screen is pretty annoying due to accidental touches, but there's an easy fix to that.. put a case on!
Kind regards

I got the edge one mainly because of the bigger battery and because of design-perception.
I am totally satisfied with this device although i dont use the edge this much.
But i think it depends on your usage.
I also got an Edge.
Waste of the extra money! The frequent accidental edge touches and subsequent random app behavior and wild scrolling are annoying and the edge apps are of negligible value to me. I will buy a non-Edge device next time again, for sure.
Appreciate the replies. That's my concern Jaiy. I am tempted to hang onto my s5 until the next thing comes out. Looks like the note 7 edge is implemented a little better.

I got the edge because it has bigger display and battery. And it just looks dope.
The bigger display was the reason for me. Even a very thin case will solve the accidental touch problem. As for edge functions, I do use the edge App panel all the time, and occasionally others. And I've found the edge clock handy when in hotel rooms.
I don't find the curved screen annoying in any way.
Edge. Fantastic device.
I couldn't care less about the edge functionality, but I do care about the much bigger screen on the edge version. I guess the curved edges allow them to make the phone as small as it can be with a 5.5" screen.
go with the screen size u prefer. the edge features really don't have a benefit. the s7 is a much smaller compact phone than the s7 edge. i have used both of them an i prefer the edge. not because of the edge but because of the bigger screen.
Personally, I would go for the regular S7. Cheaper, easier to handle with one hand, getting a screen protector is easier, and less attractive, less likely for anyone to steal it.
I am in the minority here, I'm well aware of that.
I went with the edge. Arriving Friday. Here's hoping it delivers.

For random touches there is an app called "Random touch blocker" I think. So that fixes those. And Edge version is a lot better. Battery life is really important for me. And Edge gives me a huge battery life compared to my old S6. Even though S7 has a huge battery You can still charge it really quickly. Just turn on ultra power saving mode, airplane mode, use amplify, lower cpu and gpu speeds and lock Your display. At lowest values the phone will lag a little but for a 15 minute charge You'll get like 50-70%. (With a fast charger).
Screen size in this case is also pretty sweet. 5'5 is not a tiny display, it makes playing games, watching videos, reading documents a lot easier. And it's not too big either. I can safely type on my keyboard using just one thumb. So it's perfect for me in this case.
The other reasons why You would want a S7 Edge are: design. It simply looks amazing. I've never seen a phone that looked so pretty. When You look at it from any angle You'll be admiring it a lot. Most people enjoy bezeless displays. Because they really will give You that amazing 3D/Bend"y" feeling.
I got the edge for the bigger battery and screen size. Using a case gets rid of the accidental touch issues (i am using a spigen hybrid case).
screen going fuzzy can't see anything.
got galaxy S6 Edge+ Plus. over a year now. restart does help.
but why is my screen going fuzzy ?
Hi all! I bought my s7 edge in late 2016 and have been enjoying a truly premium experience till now. There was never any glitch till now.
I appear to have dropped the phone from my bed (a 2 feet drop) post which there is a persistent dark area about 3x2 mm near the right edge of the screen. It stays dark even on camera mode .
Any way out?
yes, new amoled
Yep
Ain't no other fix then a hardware replacement
