S6 edge guestions - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Does somebody know if the edge notifications (colors) works with Whatsapp or only with SMS and calls? And will the s6 edge still have this dual camera function like the s4?
Thanks!

Dude, if by dual cam you mean clicking pics from both rear and front snappers simultaneously then it has been there from every galaxy since s4, my note 4 has it too. So, it would only be logical to expect that on s6.
And I don't know about the edge notification for whatsapp. That doubt can be cleared after someone gets the phone in their hands

Hi, I am not a dude I am a woman :angel: , I thought the same as you, about the logical step in the s6 but i've seen many videos on youtube of the s6 and s6 edge and I have never seen this dual camera function on those videos, that's why I am asking this. So you don't know about this dual camera function and you don't know if the colors of the s6 edge works with Whatsapp? But my question is: is there somebody who DO know this ? Thanks anyway for your reaction!
P.s. English isn't my first language so maybe my grammar is bad, I am sorry.

I read that the edge is only for missed calls and SMS ,other programs will go to the standard led notification.

Hopefully because the sides are part of the main screen someone will come up with a solution, somewhat like NoLed.

haha i tried answering what i could
exact info can only be known if we get the device somehow.
PS: i take my "dude" back

No idea. Like so many here, I just have lots of questions that can only be answered once I have the phone. Kind of interesting though how it's going to work.

I'm curious how they're going to make screen protectors for the edges.... i don't think they could make glass ones, and dry install screen protectors would just peel at the edges the whole time. It would have to be a wet install, but most of those companies don't carry wet install products.

Ah thanks everyone. I think I have to wait haha! I am so excited, just ordered my s6 edge, the gold one

both these options are the wet/squeegee application, and as you noted, which will likely be the only type of screen protectors that will work well on the Edge.
they come with the liquid solution and squeegee, and only 7 bucks

About the camera i don't know.
But whatsapp i think it will get notifications in the edge..... we'll just have to wait for a dev to make an app for it.

WhatsApp Plus in Galaxy S6 Edge
I'm not able to install WhatsApp Plus on S6 edge because original WhatsApp come by default in the phone and cant be deleted only you can disable it , there any one know how to install WhatsApp Plus on S6 Edge ?

The Dual Camera mode is downloadable in the camera app.

About the dual camera... It isn't on the stock rom but it is available as a Samsung add on. In the camera select mode then download to get more camera modes which are not installed.

Heh. I'm sure it works quite well as a bluetooth device. Now the trick is to convince people that you're not just talking to your pen!

Yeah right, I'm from NY everybody here talks into their pens, lol..
I had a sony ericsson BT headset that had a small LCD for caller ID.. i don't know why Samsung didn't put a LCD on this badboy there is clearly room for it.. It would just make it more functional and makes total sense.. when the phone rings i must look @ the tablet and decide if i want to take the call or not.. With an LCD on the BT headset all we would have to do is pick up the BT headset and we could see who is calling and decide take the call or decline it.. we are on the cutting edge fellas.. the cutting edge..

I think I have mentioned this before, but I think the ultimate would be not only to incorporate a small LCD/OLED for things like caller ID, but also to include a 3.5mm jack on the top for external earphones if you wanted, as well as playback controls, with track info on the display. Then, as if that weren't awesome enough, add s-pen functionality on the tip! Now THAT would be a monster combination paired up with an s-pen compatible 7.7!

That would take it over the top.. well i used it today for the first time.. its not bad now i need to figure out how to make google voice not prompt me to press 1 to answer a call on the tab.. its annoying every time having to open the tab and press 1 to accept a call..
Update - I think i found the setting on the GV settings page.. So i may be set...

How does the sound quality fare, both on your end and on the other person's end?
P.S. The design ideas above might be over the top to some, but if the form factor remains in tact, or is improved, it could still be a great idea. Essentially, it could open up a whole new market for tablets which have phone functionality. ASUS is doing something similar with their EeePad MeMO in the form of their MeMIC. Albeit, I don't think their design is quite as elegant as a tricked out HM5000 might be, but the principle is the same: turn your tablet into the central hub for everything mobile, thus simplifying things for your typical road warrior. I'm willing to bet that this sort of trend will start to take off in the near future, especially when you see companies experimenting with convergence devices such as the Note, the MeMO, the Padfone, etc. Basically, I think that bluetooth-only companion phones could soon open up an entirely new market for pairing up with tablets of any kind.
When i said over the top i meant it in a good way , i havent had any complaints regarding sound quality so for now i am satisfied with it..
The bluetooth companion phone makes total sense.. I use phoneleash to receive and send sms from my main lines number and get various notifications from my Galaxy Nexus on my p6800. My battery on my Galaxy Nexus can now go for almost 2 days as i touch it much less now.. So your definately on to something Jayed Eyed Wolf.. As i said before were on the cutting edge man, the cutting edge..

Well, our 7.7's are just so thin!! Maybe that's a hidden Samsung feature!! Built-in razor blade! I'll try shaving with my 7.7 next time

I still use my 10.1 around the house (especially in the kitchen while cooking), but the screen looks like a pile of garbage compared to the 7.7. And I used to think the screen on the 10.1 was really great! I suppose in a year or so the next great thing will make the 7.7 look like a faded CRT.

Nope it won't look like a faded CRT.
Think of it as an McLaren F1 supercar which is now 20 years+ old,
but doesn't look faded or dated at all.
Simply because you can only get slightly better when you've reached such quality.

Nice vid!
Do you leave it paired all the time in case of incoming calls? or do you just pair at the time of a call?
What's the toll on battery (both handset and tablet) with the first option?
Is the 2nd method (ad-hoc pairing) a practical method? (as in does the pairing take a long time?)
Thanks!

Me neither, on a Blueant Q2.
Really keen to see if anyone has managed to get voice dialing working on any bluetooth headset of any brand.
Spoke to Samsung support here in Oz, but they were bloody useless. Indicated that they couldn't/wouldn't help as I wasn't using a Samsung headset. They said all Samsung headsets would work, but that doesn't appear to be the case from your experience with the HM5000
AFAIK, currently no version of Android supports voice dialing via Bluetooth.

[Q] Palm Screenshot and Palm Mute ?

Can the North American i717 Note
use palm gestures like the international version
for screenshots and muting, can't seem to get it to work?
Palm Screenshot
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MmD_5GQqc4
Palm Mute
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQCn6PEs9K8
After trying numerous times
the hand over mute does work but only while my hand is pressing the screen not very useful?
Palm screenshots seem hard to achieve,
tried many times and once it worked but cant duplicate what ever I did.
Anyone find the secret to the palm screenshot ???

Use the edge of your hand instead of your entire palm. Lots of T&T in the Int'l note Forum here. Not all apply to the AT&T note, like the FM radio, but lots of great info in there to pick thru.
The palmshot works every time easily for me. I have no screen protector. Wonder if that hinders it?
Mine works fine with the screen protector.
Sent magically through the air from the mighty Note!
is the palm swipe a feature of Touchwiz only or are there apps on the market that uses this method to take screenshots?

LG V10 questions

So I got the V10 a few weeks ago, love it way more than my old Note 3 and more than i would have loved the Note 5 i was considering. Few questions though:
1. When is Verizon gonna release a software update for the fingerprint case fix?
2. Morst importantly, is there a way I can change an app's notifications to force them to the second screen? (Yes I'm talking about you, Google Messenger.) Like a third-party app or something maybe.
3. Any non-root way to customize the soft key buttons, like to different logos or something?
4. IR Blaster- seems to me its got a range of like 8 feet. Which works fine in my room, but when I try to change the channel in the dining hall, it doesnt have the range of my Note 3. Any way to increase the range?
I'm new to this site so sorry if i broke any rules by posting multiple questions in one post, just looking for some help. Thanks to anyone who can help me out a bit!

I am coming from the Galaxy S5. I am looking for a app to help with my notifications also. I LOVE me led notifications. I usually won't even get a phone without that but wanted to try this phone. I like the phone but I am really missing that. I heard a little about light flow but don't know much about it.

You're talking about using light flow for the V10?
Hi Nick,
I can't help with 1, 3 & 4 ... but as for your second question; My Notifications have automatically just appeared on the 2nd Screen as they come in. I did play around with the 2nd Screen Options in Settings, and there are more options in there as well.
After reading a lot about this phone here and on other forums, it seems there's a big operational difference between Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and the others - ESPECIALLY ON THIS PHONE - so as you keep searching for answers (as I have) try to figure out if the post is from a user with the same network you're on.

Marshmallow galaxy

Hello, i have a galaxy s6 edge and two days ago i made a new update. After then i can't send SMS MESSAGES,i can only riceive.
T
Sorry for my english, i'm from Italy and my english is quite bad!
PLEASE HELP ME!
Maybe you should try rebooting your phone. If that doesn't work, go to settings and do a factory reset. These are the only things I think you can do, maybe someone else has a diffirent idea.
moved to the S6 Edge Q&A forum, probably get better help here...

Touch screen recognize touch after lifting finger

Rate this bug on miui forum.
http://en.miui.com/thread-3965047-1-1.html
Touch is not get recognized on edge of right and left side of screen.
I read latest thread by candicesu and he is claiming that its keyboard app issue and for gaming, network delay. But it's not.
You can easily reproduce this in stock miui dialer app.
And it's universal bug in stable and beta builds. @candicesu, go and try following steps then stop blaming on apps for this and work on this bugs.
All users are here not 1st time touch mobile users.
How to :
Open dialer.
Touch on any number which are on edge, like 1,3,6 etc.
While on touching edge, you can see that number get typed only after you lift your finger, not when you touch screen.
Also, sometimes system totally miss those touches, or get recognize after few seconds.

Say whatever u want, but in my phone both dialer and keyboard works fine. Touching at the very edge of the screen. Same result as touching letter and numbers in the middle of the screen.
Yes, there is an issue with the edges and touch response. Some people here like to dismiss it as fake but the issue is very real. And Xiaomi claims it's a 3rd party app problem but it's not.

India, first flash sale, 64gb, miui 10 8.9.20, bootloader unlocked with stock recovery and no root .
Yes in this phone my keyboard error has gone up a lot, not sure why but touch latency or edges not responsive is not the reason. Typing pq or que etc does not create any problem for me.
Btw no screen bleed also.

No. Bug is NOT there on my unit. It works perfectly. You can check all italian tech forums where is talking about Poco and no one has touch problems. And not only in Italy.
All faulty units are In India.

Won't say all faulty units are in India , every product will have some %age of faulty devices coming in the market.
Now India has probably the maximum number sold. Around 100,000 odd were sold in the first sale and by now probably it would have crossed 250,000 mark or maybe much more
So sheer number. Italy would have what 25 -50 ,000?
Crazy

I wonder what this dude's issue is ? Clearly there is a widespread touch problem on POCO phones, including my device, and this person's response is "I don't have an issue, so it does not exist." Just check out his posting history:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=451096883
I simply add astroturfers like this user to the Ignore list. I suggest others do the same, and help contribute towards an increase in the signal to noise ratio on these forums.
