Attachment 158613Now that the Edge has been released on Verizon (1/8/2015) it's time to retire the release thread and start a dedicated thread about issues, pointers, how-tos and info on the Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy Note Edge phones.

[SHIVA77]

My first question is about VZW's Viewdini. Does it this work on anybody's phones. It doesn't work on either my tablet or my Edge.

Does anyone know how to have the Google Wallet default as the tap to pay? Now that I have my Note Edge, I am eager to try this out. I really do not want to use the Softcard. I remember on the Moto X, you could select which one you wanted to use but, I do not see it here in the menus.

Set up your Google Wallet. I think you should be able to select from there. If not go into settings, NFC (must be on) at the bottoms is select payment services.

Anyone havin trouble with the CNN panel not working efficiently? It works for awhile then says loading

[rabernet]

Can you use other launchers, like Nova Launcher and still be able to use the Edge panels? I've never really used other launchers before, but thought about playing with one when I had the Note 4 (exchanged today for the Edge).

I setup Nova on mine and had a lot of problems with it freezing and losing the dedicated launcher status so I returned to the Samsung Launcher and used Beautiful Widgets and Simple Calender to give it a similar look to Nova. This might also be another reason I stick with the Note 4. I can get a huge amount of apps on the screen and use them with one tap. CNN app is not working and the Yahoo Sports app goes crazy by flipping through all my selections really fast on its own. I am sure they will get these fixed but if the only consistent Edge panels that work are the custom apps then I can get that and more with Nova Launcher and will return mine.

Yesterday when I first set up my Note, I had some crashes but, after turning the phone off and then back on it seems to be working well today.

With another Launcher? And the Edge display still functioned?

Anyone tried ART? Note 4 always took 15 minutes to start up because of it. Audio best case? Looking for one :/ leaning toward the wallet flip case from Samsung but not decided yet

Yes. I have the Nova Launcher Prime not, sure if that makes a difference. It should not. I was just on it right now and no issues after I restarted the phone from yesterday. Edge panel works fine as well with the Launcher.

That was the first wallet case that I actually really enjoyed. I wound up returning it though, because after you fold it over the wallet does not close all the way and the flap stays open.

I had a Verus Thor case on the Note 4, and I'm thrilled they have them for the Edge, so that's what I'm ordering. Anyone know if mic placement is different on the Verizon version like on the Note 4?

Mic placement is the same. I think I'm gonna get the Thor and maybe another one, to save some money on amazon and have some variety still not sure about ART.. I'll try it and see what it does.

The Tridea's have great reviews as well. What I like about the Verus Thor is the slope they put on the back for the heart monitor, that the Tridea doesn't have - that's why I went with two colors of the the Verus Thor (red and gold).

Android RunTime new runtime to replace dalvik and ART runs like a charm, minimal delay in startup

UAG case is awesome if anyone was on the fence.

[Stigasteve23]

I got the incipio car from Verizon and is very nice, only thing I don't like is the back is plastic is slightly slippery.

OK - can you add folders to the app panel? If you can, I can't figure out how.

Finally got my BW clock/weather set up the way I like it, but haven't done much with adding apps to screens, since I'm adding to the edge panels my most used, but it would be nice to be able to add folders, which would allow even more app accessibility. I'm hoping Verizon didn't disable that if it works on other carriers.

[Stigasteve23]

Love just about everything about this phone, but my battery life isn't great, maybe cuz I'm using it a lot but I expected slightly better. .

Finally figured this out by doing a lot of Google searching. Here's what I found out for anyone else interested. Long press on the app when choosing apps to add to the panel. At the top, Create Folder pops up - and puts the new folder on the panel. From there, you can drag other apps into that folder.

I only had my Note 4 for two weeks before I exchanged it for the Edge. I found in those two weeks that the longer I had the phone, the better the battery got from conditioning it, I suppose. I'm hoping for the same with this phone. I also purchased this, because the charger and spare battery for the Note 4 was on back order.

I'm not the most techie person, but it's rated 4A, so I'd think that it can also fast charge. Never needed to use it with the Note 4, but glad that I have it if I do need it.
