AnonD-505667, 22 Feb 2016Guys Note Edge vs Lg G4 what should i buy ?been using it for 6 months. one drop om the edge screen and it broke. had to pay 1/3rd of the price of phone to replace the screen. very fragile. and no cover options. plus sometimes the phones hangs. And the battery sucks . Im a average user not very heavy. it lasts 5 hours without using too much camera. sometimes 6 with less usage. but the phone otherwise is great.

blondi1, 21 Feb 2016my note edge is starting to overheat thes past few days. i ... moreThere is facebook app that draining battery and warming the phone, so if you can root your phone with Odin, then install rooted room and delete fcb app and use fcb on browser link like m.facebook.com then battery will last for about two days.
Remember also switch off the radios you don't permanently use them like Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, GPS or mobile hot spot.

my note edge is starting to overheat thes past few days. i dont know if it because i updated to 5.1.1. it was fine after update. it could be a rogue app or whatever. but it heated up so much i can hardly hold it. i hope the update didnt cos it. now on saying that, today it was fine until my battery went low to 20% and it started to heat up again. so i turned it of to cool it down and put a fully charged battery in. so il see how it goes. has anyone who updated have this problem?

Have the note edge for around 6 months now. No problems yet except it dropped from my pocket on the bathroom floor and the screen cracked very badly and had to get it replaced which is quite costly. I didn't wait to buy the note 5 even though it would come out thevery next month of me buying note edge bcoz it had no micro sd card slot or ir blaster. But the phone is very delicate and has no decent covers available in the market. Plus the note 5 is actually much faster. I have put a tempered glass now and a silicon cover but I'm a little scared handling it. What are your opinions shall I change and buy a newer phone? I really love it though. Also can some1 please tell me if the note 5 is actually faster or the difference isnt that noticable. Or maybe just wait for note 7. I considered iPhone 6s plus but I need the s pen for personal reasons. I hope somebody please help me. Thanx

AnonD-485965, 18 Feb 2016Hey may i know which version of android is running on ur no... moreThere has been many posts made here, already covering this.
I understand there are a lot of posts on this thread, and is not always fortuitous gathering information reading through these posts when bickering and flaming and butt hurt types want to poo-poo other peoples flagships and perceived 'brand loyalties'...
That aside, there has been some excellent 'how to use' posts for the Note Edge scattered amongst the many comments.
Firstly know that any new device for the first week (or so) will be getting updates and 'settling'; that battery life will likely settle and improve.
Certainly a dodgy app can drain the battery life quickly (screen on time and very poor reception and hidden wifi network scanning etc can hurt majorly- set 'auto brightness' to a comfortable level, perhaps turn wifi off when roaming from hidden wifi stations if that is your setup)
For figuring out if a dodgy app is giving me high drain; I use "cpu-z".
Get to know at what speeds your processor typically idles at. Then a quick check of cpu usage in cpu-z can reveal if the processor is running oddly high, at which point closing individual applications until the 'culprit' is found.
Android 5 has some decent battery/application management. And we will get Marshmallow soon enough with further improvements most likely (being reported).
I leave all phone features on except the smart screen/smart stay stuff (where the camera is assessing whether you are looking at the screen to figure out whether to keep it on).
I enjoy the official Samsung flip case as it has the 's-chip' and wakes and sleeps my phone without pressing any buttons.
I took this further with a Samsung fit watch that unlocks my device when I am close to it. (And reveals emails/messages/ notifications etc with a glance at my wrist; also I attach it to my steering wheel when driving long distances for use as on wheel media controls). The watch is setup to show weather and time and I use the black background (saves power on OLED screens).
Back to the phone...
Try moving to a black screen wherever possible... For example in we forums, make the background black not white/grey.
I do nothing to extend my battery life (other than trying to charge it before it goes below 10%(ideally before going south of 20% is best battery care)).
If I am in heavy use IT mode I always get a day.
If I use the phone like a normal modern smartphone and use as I need it- it will go two days (not quite- morning 'off charger', next night 'on charger'), and if I do little with the phone and use a BLuetooth headset for calls etc, can easily get three days. I have had five days+ runtime when I am couch potatoing/ recluse over a holiday period.
Just give it a week to settle and grab updates. After the wow factor and 'show off features' of the first ten days or so is behind us, and we get on with the using; only hardcore web nuts at full brightness with no rests will need to charge the phone inside of half a day. But after twelve hours of continual use I put to you; they likely need the rest, maybe fast charge for a bit whilst they grab something to eat?!
