Android pay works fine (because back on stock rom)
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.
Also it appears you might not be able to downgrade back to a older verison of android.
Phone feel slower.

I have just updated mine. My phone was lagging very much after update. So i did a reset in Android recovery mode. And now my phone flies!

So This is T Mobile's update? Did you being any chance reset the phone and check if battery life has improved?
Also is the camera button back on the Edge Panel and how is your battery life?

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

Do u have a account to fast download ? Can u share it.. Thanks

I'll give it a try, but....
I'm on 5.0.1 rooted BOK1 / BOG2 version.
Does anyone know if Root is available for this build?
if not, I'm not even going there because I cannot stand the junk-ware carriers put on the devices.
Update: thanks to TEKHD ! We have 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

Thank You Samsung.. A small MM review

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..

Yep, I found that again after checking settings , but for some reason after installing the edge update.. the night clock wouldnt work.. I found by restarting the phone.. it was fine again..

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.

Is an S7-like Always On feature possible/available?

The S7 has a cool new feature where you can choose to always have the time displayed on your screen, along with other things like battery and stuff...
Is there anything like that for the S4? It'd really just be handy to have the time always-on, but any more is wonderful.
Thanks.

ambient display is as close as we get which isn't always on, just occasionally...

I wouldn't recommend it. The S4's screen wasn't designed with Always-On in mind, so it is possible that screen burns may appear due to the prolonged display of static images.

Is it possible. ..I believed that s4 and s5 screen is almost the same kind...
S5 developer has successfully ported Always-on-display (AOD) from s7 edge to s5 snapdragon version...so I think is it possible to have a s7 ported rom for s4..
I may be wrong xD

With S7 apps = possible,
But, don't wish for Always On Display feature. It's insane for S4 battery life for me...

Thinking of Buying S7 Edge

So I have a Nexus 5, but need to upgrade. Why not, lol? I see theres some decent development here already. Any roms that are just aosp and not touchwiz tho? I didnt see any. Not a fan of touchwiz. Any major issues with this phone? Is it rootable? Any reason not to root? I see this knox term being thrown around...what the hell is that?
Just looking for some thoughts because I was also debating waiting for the next nexus device to.

If you're a Nexus fan, get the Nexus 6P. It's just as good or maybe even better depending on your likes.

New to the S7 edge myself. From what I've seen so far there's no rooting or anything unless you're on the non-US version. Knox is apparently a sort of security system that is part of the reason (maybe the whole reason?) you can't root it. Touchwiz does suck, the phone was super cluttered and really ugly compared to iOS which I've just moved from. I was thinking hard about taking the phone back after the first hour or so using it but installing Nova Launcher Prime fixed that for me. Disabling the bloat as well made it a great experience. It's a good little phone, the battery life is incredible (compared to my 6s Plus). No problem getting through 2 days before having to charge it. Zippy as well, very fast phone.

Do u use anything to keep the phone running fast?
I installed clean master.
Always tells me apps are running. Not sure why these apps always start to run themselves in the background even after I close all apps.
Some r games n stuff not like Facebook witch I would understand as to retrieve messages.
Are u going in app manager and disabling bloatware?
I enabled developer mode and change all animations from 1.0 to .5 to try n get a faster experience.
I myself coming iPhone.

It ran fast out of the box for me, it may come down to what we have installed? I used EZ Disabler (paid version) to disable the bloatware. The only game I have is Shadow Era and it doesn't do anything in the background so I can't speak to games and background activity. The only things I have running in the background are things I'd expect (FB, Whatsapp, Telegram, email, etc.) (And I am using the American AT&T S7 edge so there's no rooting, custom ROM stuff or any of that since it's currently impossible, just stock.)

Touchwiz isn't that crappy anymore - pretty smooth actually.
And battery life is insane on the Exynos variant i can get 2-3 days of normal usage without charging (u won't get this with any SD820 phone ^^)
If you don't care about battery life that much and rather want the maximum 3D performance you would probably be better off with a SD820 phone (maybe the next nexus)

Clean Master does nothing or worse for your battery. It will clean up some files but I would suggest SD Maid for that matter.

Be aware that if you purchase from a US provider (including Sprint and T-Mobile) that you will not be able to root your S7. The bootloader is locked and the vulnerability hasn't been found yet.
Knox is a security app on Samsung phones that will keep secure whatever apps or data are in the Knox vault. It is for people who need higher security. Knox will not work if the phone has been rooted... even if the phone is later unrooted. Rooting trips a flag that will disable Knox and Samsung Pay.

Yeah, you can do it that way or use a debloat program which allows you to disable things that touchwiz won't.
I use an app called Greenify (the donation package). It gives you a list of all apps that run in the background (and even system services if you're brave enough to go through them all) and it lets you force them to stop running in the background and only run when you are actually using them on screen. For example say you use Snapchat. It's always running in the background whether you've opened it or not, checking for messages. Greenify can force it to not do that unless you physically open it. The only things I let run in the background are messaging apps I rely on (SMS, Whatsapp, Telegram, Inbox, etc.) and everything else - I let greenify force to hibernate.

Active fingerprint reader

Hello everyone!
I just had a look at the new A5 2017 because I want to buy one for my mother and a feature that was very nice and useful was the active fingerprint reader. Just rest the finger on the home button and the device wakes right from the Always on Display.
I am running android N with the new Grace UX on my S7 Edge and i was wondering if there is a setting somewhere i can enable to be able to use this feature.
I know some people will think is useless, so is no need to comment for no reason.

A5 with new hardware... soooo nope. We dont have that on s7 edge.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

That is sad. I was really liking the feature ,hope somneone will figure out how to add it later.

It's only a workaround, but downloading Always on Amoled from the Playstore is working just fine. Fingerprint is always on, no need to push it, and you get double tap to wake, plus other useful features. Definitely worth a try

it's the same hardware, only Samsung is the usual ****. improvements only on new smartphone to increase the sales

Was going to say that having the reader on constantly may cause some form of wake lock.
