Hey guys I had the S6 edge and had issues while typing, the edges would get touched and put in characters that I didn't want there, it was annoying. Is anyone having an issue while typing in the S7 edge?
I use SwiftKey which detects the edges and doesn't show any key in the curved area.

I use kii. I have never had that problem. I can't imagine it happening too much if you swipe to type. My case may help the edges from being touched inappropriately too. Something you may want to consider is that it is hard to find a good screen protector for S7 edge.

I have a big problem with my Note 4. My S-Pen works when I hold it above my phone and swipe across the screen. It may sound good, but is a big problem when the apps is moved and it is impossible to write something on the keyboard. The phone is not rooted. I bought Note 4 for the sake of the pen so I would like to try being helped and get rid of the problem. Some tips?

Sorry, but I can't understand what did you mean
explain further "when the apps is moved and it is impossible to write something on the keyboard"
If you're still in time to do exchange, just bring it to the store you bought it
Sorry it's hard to describe.
When I hold the S-pen above the letters on the keyboard it writes. I don't need to push the screen. It's like use swipe but not touching the screen. When I point the S-pen at any widget for example on the homescreen the app doesnt open. It moved around instead.
Sensor of pressure is in pen, so try move it a little or slightly pull pin or try to exchange it using provided tool in box. Maybe it's stuck.
I can recreate your situation if I push pin inward with nail 1 cm above screen so it move app icon around.
Perhaps try turning the enhanced sensitivity off.
Hi, perhaps the s-pin tip has gotten locked with dust or something. Se if you can move it and unlock it.

Hello, I noticed that when typing with my right hand, I can't seem to use the keys on the left edge of the screen such as number 1 on Samsung keyboard for instance. It works some times but mostly not and when trying over and over it registers 2 out of 10 times. I'm not sure it is a sensitivity problem as with my left hand, number 1 works always. It seems that the edge of the screen works best when approached by the hand on the same side as if it works under a certain angle or so, anybody noticed this? I tried swiftkey and it is the same. Thanks
Somehow this thread got lost in the Q&A section?
Edit: Sorry, it looks like the search in the browser was not working properly.
So I went to Samsung store to test other S7 edge devices and they are all the same. The guy there mentioned that somebody else has complained about it earlier. It seems that when trying my hand slightly touches the edge and this stops the phone from recognising the touch on the other edge, weird.
I think what is happening is palm rejection by the right hand. You can resize the keyboard in settings or try Swift key

1010110101010101. Guess that's not an issue for me with the keyboard, but there have been other apps that made me wonder if my touches on the side were registering.

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.
On the s7 edge, when screen was off, there was a way to trigger on the edge display and see news feed and notifications scrolling on the edge display. Doesn't seem to work o S8.. any idea?

On my S7 edge running MM I go to Settings -> Edge Screen and have Edge Feed turned on. Not sure if Nougat or the S8 is different.
Have you tried hitting the magnifying glass to search for it while you're in the settings menu?
Even i couldn't find that option. Is this feature removed i n S8?
Edge feed

It only took someone to ask Samsung now we have to play the waiting game.
Technically S8 and S8 plus are an infinity display not an edge screen phones. That's the reason no edge feeds options in these latest phones.
I even contacted Samsung regarding the same and received the following message
"I am afraid that the S8 and S8+ do not have this feature as they have infinity screen not the edge screen.
There is no updates on whether the Edge
screen feature will be introduced on the
58 but please keep an eye on the
website as any news will be available on
there for you. Thank you"
Do you guys talk about "edge panels"? There are available many panels that you can choose from. No news feed panel though.
I had no S7 to compare but I like it a lot.
any news about edge feeds? is this can port from s7 edge rom?
One thing I am missing on the S8 from the S7 (apart from the camera with movement photo's) is the Edge Screen. I really like that and the feeds, especially at night seeing what the time is etc but even though the edge screen is in the s8 it doesn't seem to work like it did on the S7 with times to come on and off etc.
Is it because it has all gone or am I missing something?
Edge app and edge notifications are In different places. Look on your pull down to configure notifications.
In Notifications Edge screen is already allowed, thanks anyway
