I like using the Swype keyboard on my phone (Note 9.) I know that a Swype-like feature is now standard on the Note 9, but in my experience it just doesn't work quite as well as the genuine Swype app that I had on my last phone as standard. Sadly I discovered that Swype as a company went under...

Well, if it came down to having a brick of a phone, or at least a battery that doesn't last at all, vs a functioning phone, I'd probably take my chances with trying to fit in another battery. But, I may try to grab up some batteries if I can find them cheap and try to keep them refrigerated and...

What do you mean, "obsolete." I'm still using a phone that came out in 2014 right now, and it works fine.

Aren't the pinouts of batteries for phones fairly standard? Is it really that risky to find a different battery? What are the ramifications of leaving a battery totally unused (and therefore discharged) even in a refrigerator for a few years?

Hello. I have used a Galaxy Note Edge since it came out (I think in 2014?) and I've always liked the phone, and new batteries for them from third party manufacturers are still out there. Every couple of years I pop a new battery in it. I've always liked having a phone that had a user replaceable...

I've been searching around and found this. https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/help/note-edge-camera-controls-edge-screen-t3062382 Looks like some people mention either titanium backup or Samsung Smart Switch. Would either of these work?

I just bought a brand new AT&T Note Edge online after my old one was stolen. Being that it is absolutely brand new, it still has the original Android version on it that had a lot of the camera controls, including the shutter, positioned on the edge screen. With my old phone, when one of the...

Finally found the solution from another forum. Apparently if you never set up the factory weather widget, the weather on the edge screen no longer works on lollipop. So, all you have to do is set up the widget, and the weather on the edge comes back. You can even delete the widget afterwards...

Well, I did a factory reset, still nothing! It just keeps telling me to tap here to add weather info. It doesn't matter how I set it. it never actually gives me weather info. Is it even worth taking it to an AT&T store, or will they just assume I don't know what I'm doing and then look...

Seriously!? Mine is doing that too, but I assumed it was just because the weather is not showing up at all. I loved having the current weather on the night clock display. It was nice to look over at the phone first thing in the morning and see what it was like outside. Why are they taking good...

Instead of showing the temperature, it just continually tells me to tap here to add weather. I did tap there... I set the stupid settings... Still no weather. :mad: Well, there goes one of the things I liked most about the edge display.

Well, one thing cocktailbar service doesn't do is help you search the android central forums. :D http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-edge/468088-cocktailbar-service-draining-battery.html Anyway, it seems to be related to using the flip wallet case. Cocktailbar service seems to...

As I said, I'm not talking about the micro USB that goes into the phone, I'm taking about the USB plug in the charger. And no, the pins are most definitely not the same length on this end of the USB cable, and it's not just due to manufacturing tolerances. Every "male A" USB connector I've seen...

I was just having trouble getting my Edge to charge in the fast charging mode. It would charge, just wouldn't use the fast charging mode even though I was using the official charger and had the setting turned on. I noticed something kind of interesting and possibly easy to miss... If the USB...

Well, fair enough, that's why I gave it an honest answer. The Edge has it's positives and negatives, but after thinking about the two for a long time, I realized that none of the issues for or against it were that significant, so I just want with the phone that was more unique.
