So I decided to try developing for the Edge screen (hey, why not) and whipped together a quick sample app with Look API backed in. Unfortunately, even though I have the feed enabled in settings, it doesn't seem to actually show up in Feed Mode. Has anyone poked around the sample app Samsung posted? I can see that they have separate Providers for each Edge feature, but it seems like there's a Service which the Feed doesn't use, so I didn't implement it. Any thoughts on what could be the cause?

Nice initiative, I have begun development on it as well! I feel like there's plenty of untapped potential here, that we can take advantage of.
Using the example, I was able to make my own Feed that displays. I can send you what I got so far. I got discouraged because it didn't display either, right away, but you gotta give it a little bit (the default refresh timer is rather high). Try restarting your phone, and see if it works then. Might be helpful to disable all other feeds except for the one you want! If not, yeah, I can just share my source
I am currently probably 55% done with a "Quick Shortcut" feed, to add whatever apps to tap, and it'll wake up and launch. Simple, but brainstorming we could make more, better, ones!
I was one of the only devs for the Samsung Continuum (cute little thing with a ticker ahead of its time), so to have a new something to play around with, with the possibility of working together with other people, has me excited.

Thank you for this tip! I was wondering why nothing was showing up on my feed panel. It finally started working after I restarted! As an aside, Samsung's example layout is pretty deceiving since it can cut off content depending on the orientation of the device. Anyways, I think I like the possibilities here. I'd use this feature all the time if the gesture weren't so difficult to pull off on a table!
Please do share any features that you create as I'm sure MANY people would like new options available to them. (But, most do not have the ability to do so).
Can't wait to see what functionality you guys/girls come up with. I wish I could do this stuff, but never really learned myself. Keep up the good work!!
Hey guys!!! Was hoping there would be an update here but I know you're all busy. I was wondering if there was a chance that you might be able too. . .
1) Make changes to Samsung edge ticker that allows it to turn on automatically if
- Phone is screen up
- Screen is off
- Text message received or missed phone call listing
2) Set time frame for ticker/edge feature above ^^ to work for. This way it doesn't consistantly display info for over 1 hour from last text/missed call. Also make it able to set how long the message is displayed for before turning off and then back on.

I just got my note and coming from the atrix with a notification light, I'm pretty let down this doesn't have one.
Does anyone know of an app or mod that can perhaps light up the soft keys instead? I know you can for the nexus S

you can use the NoLED app from the market but beware that you need to test and configure it to best liking, cause even though it might look like the screen is off is not, it puts dots in the screen as notification, so for the time being before you decide to flash a custom rom, give it a try, I used it for a bit but noticed that if I had a notification on for a long time it killed my battery significantly.

This. I would get emails in the middle of the night, triggered the NoLED icon and keep my screen on all night. I would go to bed with 90+% and it would drain to about 30% in a few hours. Thank god it had the schedule function so you can disable it when you don't plan on caring about a notification.
Missed Message Flasher, which works for a dozen or two apps and general notifications. For Calendar notifications only I've switched over to Calendar Snooze because it gives more options for vibration, plus adds many options to snooze that the stock Calendar doesn't. I still use MMF for text and some other notifications.
Thanks to all the quick replies. I might try MMF, but will probably just end up rooting/flashing. I cant help myself lol. This note needs ICS...badly
NoLED has worked fine for me for well over a year now. I think the propblem people are encountering is not that their screen is on, it's that their phone is not able to enter deep sleep mode. The technology behind the screen is what allows this app to work without zapping the battery within an hour. Also most people charge at night so this is not an issue. Also noLED has a widget that makes turning the feature on and off a simple task. My phone lasted over 24 hours with no charging and had the noLED notification on at night so there may be more at work for those having issues with it, as I said I only saw it prevented deep sleep but did not trigger "screen on" time in stats as only a few pixels were actually on. I do only use the dots, not the big icons.
Unfortunatly, noLED would be your best bet at this time, IMO. BLN support is sketchy at best. Just make sure you have noLED setup so that it won't keep the screen on for hours on end and your fine. I tried to get BLN support working for the longest time, it was flakey at best on some roms, and all out didn't work with ohters that claimed to have support for it. And with ICS coming out today ( or so they say, look in the dev section for the posts ), BLN support won't exist anyway for a bit
Check out this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yryzWJ0p_cE
BLN control seems to work best for me. Bought the pro version so I could have even more control over the keys
So, I double checked, and several reviews out on the webs noted the ability to use the camera button to activate the camera (even while locked?) and start taking pictures instantly without the need to use the power button. Since unboxing and setting up my phone I have been unable to duplicate this, and I must say it was a feature I was strongly looking forward to.
Anyone attempted this and have success? Is there an option somewhere to enable the ability to do this?
Thanks in advance! Happy unboxing day!

From what I read, you have to unlock it first. D:
If you have the camera on the shortcuts bar then sliding that to the unlock circle will bring up the camera. To access the gallery or home screen it will require you to unlock(face, pattern, pin, ect..)
backedc4 is right, if you have it on the lock screen shortcuts, just slide it open directly. anything else will require an unlock first.
from whatever you are doing with it once unlocked though, just long-press the camera button (all the way down) and it'll bring up the camera.
---
i thought it would be a gimmicky thing, but that long camera-button press rapid-shot photo capture is freaking awesome. i dont know how i ever took decent pictures before!!
Yeah, I knew about that, but I am sad to find out that the claims reviewed online are not holding true. Namely "For starters, that dedicated button lets you access the camera functionality with the phone switched off." (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/htc-evo-4g-lte-preview-video/)
However, upon further research Cnet had the issue as well (http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/htc-evo-4g-lte/4505-6452_7-35182267.html) so it would appear moot. Blah! This is most certainly a feature I would like to show up in rooted versions tho, hah
Are we talking screen or security lock here? I'd say if you have a security lock you would not want to be able to bypass it for the camera. Once in the camera all of the photos you have taken are visible. As for screen lock I agree you should be able to bypass it.
hey, it does that if you take off locking
I remember tech blogs complaining about the amount of time they had to hold down the button to activate the camera, but I like it. I find myself accidentally pressing it a bit whenever I try to stretch my right hand up the screen. If it activated on every little press, that'd be really annoying. I haven't gotten to open from the lockscreen though (I have a pattern unlock)... But I don't mind that at all either.

Thanks for the tip. Now I can get into the camera app from where ever I'm at by just holding down the camera button for a few seconds. I love having a dedicated camera button.
I saw it in the reviews, too. Also I saw another thread where it's mentioned. Have you guys tried (while screen off/locked) just holding the button down for about 5sec?

Yeah, no go sadly. It's not that big of an issue to use the shortcut bar from the lockscreen, it really only adds a slight extra motion / time frame, but hey, I had to ask to see if anyone knew different!
I was able to access the camera via the dedicated button while the screen was locked for the first day or two, but at some point it has ceased to work. I have gone through every settings menu I could find to see if I made a change somewhere but have yet to find a reason. It was an awesome feature and I want it back.
I've also noticed various small things different from the first day or two, and I haven't rooted or made significant changes. I get the gut feeling this thing is getting secret silent background updates from either htc or sprint. not happy and worried about rooting because of ths...

Whoa the above 2 posts are pretty nuts! Completely silent updates could be quite annoying for people running rooted devices.

Care to expand on what "small things" you have found that have changed from the first day or two?
So I decided to write this little review to try talk about/point out/explain certain things that I thought other major reviewers (Engadget, The Verge, etc) didn't mention or didn't explain well enough, as well as things I do and don't like about the phone. (Don't let the Great Wall of Text scare you) Here goes!
The first thing I have to point out is how well this phone feels in your hand. I never want to put it down. Ever. That cold aluminum body feels amazing when you pick up the One and really drives home the flagship status of this phone. While this is great, I am terrified of dropping this phone. It feels like it would scratch very easily on a rough surface (I have yet to see a scratch, but I have been babying it until my case arrives). The aluminum feels very similar to the Macbook Pro case. While a lot of people are complaining about the false "zero gap" manufacturing, it virtually is zero gap. I have the slightest of space between the top aluminum strip on the front and the white band circumventing the phone. I would be hard pressed to fit even an eyelash in this gap, however. So far all intents and purposes, I think we can call it zero gap Anything larger than this, and I would consider returning it or waiting a few weeks for HTC to iron out the issue. Just ask to see the phone they give you before buying it and you can avoid this problem all together.
Sense 5 is a welcome upgrade and I don't miss CM 10.1 as much as I thought I would. My most missed feature is quick reply from the notification shade, but I'm living without it. This software flies through animations, opening apps, responding to input, scrolling, everything. Slick as oil. And the aesthetics of Sense 5 aren't too bad either. Not everything is rosy perfect though. Adding apps from the drawer to the homescreen is annoying. You have to tap and hold the app as you normally would. But then instead of transitioning to the home screen automatically so you can place the app somewhere, you have to first drag it all the way to the top left where it says "shortcut" and then it transitions to your homescreens. Gets old when you're setting up your home screen. Also, let's say you open an app by searching for it in your app drawer (not from the home screen). If you exit that app by hitting the home button, it does not send you home. Rather it sends you back to the notification drawer with all your apps. That's annoying. Pressing the back button also does not send you out of the notification drawer and to your homescreen like it normally does. You must hit home once again to enter your homescreen.
At first, I thought blink feed was gimicky. Just some marketing technique to set HTC apart in the consumer's mind. But after playing around with it, it has grown on me. The selection of news sources is small, but hopefully that will grow or allow you to add your own custom websites. I do find myself occasionally scrolling through it when waiting in line, the drive thru, waiting for someone, etc. Which was the original purpose anyway. I have not noticed a hit on battery life from this feature.
An annoying feature of the gallery is that in throws in all your Facebook Friend's photo albums into your gallery. Yes you read correctly. Jimmy Bob's recent Everglades field trip WILL show up in your gallery as well as other friend's albums. So far I have not figured out a way to remove this besides unlinking my phone from my facebook account (aka logging out of the app). While your photos have their own area/folder apart from these Facebook albums, it's still annoying to see the faces of people I never talk to in my own gallery.
Now onto the camera. There is definitely some truth behind the "UltraPixel" marketing. Compared to an iPhone 5 and Note 2, the One most definitely takes better pictures in low light settings. Even in extremely dark settings (night time with some light filtering in through closed blinds), the One is able to make out rough pictures, something the iPhone and Note 2 could not do at all. While the One is able to take pictures in very low light, this does not mean the pictures come out amazing or noiseless. Don't expect to just run out into the pitch black night and be able to photograph anything. In very low light settings, the pictures are still grainy and sometimes crappy. But most definitely better than the two phones mentioned already. All these comparisons were done with the flash off. Even with the flash on, the One still managed better photos in my opinion. They looked more natural and less like the came from a camera phone. Slightly lower than ideal lighting is where the One is able to shine. The other phone's flashes sometimes washed out or harshly lit up the scene while the One didn't even use the flash and took a great photo. Can't wait to use it more.
Zoes are pretty cool, another feature I initially thought was gimicky. The short clips appear as normal photos in your gallery, but then begin to randomly play like the photos in a Harry Potter movie. Looks pretty cool in person. A feature I haven't been able to try out is the "Event" categorizing of my photos. Basically the phone looks at the time and location where you took pictures, and tries to group them into "events". Think of these as different albums in your gallery. When you open an event, at the top there will be a highlights reel: basically a slideshow of your photos, zoes and perhaps videos (not 100% sure about the videos). It adds music, transitions, Instagram-esque filters and automatically starts playing. Watching your whole photo gallery come to life is pretty cool.
Other tid bits: there's a permanent power saver notification in your notification dropdown. Always there no matter what. There's an app that lets you remove it if you're rooted however (the app is somewhere in these forums). The front facing camera is a big upgrade from the HOXL one. Did I mention how amazing this phone feels? Finally, 32GB on an HTC flagship. 24.4GB available to you. Although the camera lens is slightly slightly slightly recessed, I still feel it can get scratched.
In the end, this is definitely the best Android phone I have handled and used (yes, including the S4 yes I said it). And I used to work in Best Buy Mobile until very recently, so I have handled my fair share of smartphones. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone and everyone.
Well this turned out a lot longer than I anticipated. Hope this shines some light on the One from the perspective of an everyday owner. Let me know if you have any questions!
TL;DR. Read it! This took [email protected]#$ing forever to type.
Congrats on getting away from Best Buy!
are we going to have one of these at 15 days 30 days etc etc ?
Great review! I would like to point out though that you can get rid of the power saver notification by long pressing it, going to app info, and force stopping it. It reappears when your battery gets low since it automatically turns on, but you can avoid looking at it most of the day!

Excellent review. I've had it 4 days and I guess I haven't opened my gallery since linking my Facebook account, cause that annoyance was new to me... Thanks for pointing it out!
One other thing that I feel isn't getting the attention it deserves is the addition of IR. I haven't had IR in a smartphone since my Treo, and I missed it. The first thing I did when I got my One was setup all my TV's/Receivers to be controlled by my phone.

Thanks for this tidbit.. It would be nice if the "show notifications" option allowed you to select/deselect...
The chassis is zero gap. the speaker covers are add-ons to the chassis.
To add apps, widgets and shortcuts to your screens long press any blank area for your home screens and the popup will allow you to select said icons to which ever screen you want by highlighting it with a tap 1st. It will put the icon in the first available space starting from the top left but you can then move it.
I haven't setup Facebook yet but I have read there is a setting in the gallery to un-check this option. *Edit* My bad. The only way to stop pic syncing from Facebook is by not allowing Facebook to sync in the 1st place. Not an ideal solution but all there is atm.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197998
Lastly, with pics/camera. Set sharpness to -1 and there will be much less post processing. (Credit hamdir) I think you'll like the pics even more!
Hope this helps.
Thanks!! it was helpful.
Yeah I haven't had a chance to test out the IR but I've heard its pretty cool. But it may not work on cases that cover the button and I wish they allowed you to hit "hide notifications" it almost looks like they went our of their way to block that setting lol
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If you long press on the 'Power Saver' notification and go to App Info, you can force close that app. Then the notification will no longer be there. Each time the phone reboots, you'll see it and need to do it again, but I did it once and haven't had to reboot for any reason. Notification Gone!
It's really unacceptable how all those lovely watch designs in the store have the same ugly digital always-on face. Only the first 3 built in watch faces have a corresponding analog always-on watch face. I find this to be a huge limitation of the device and has kept me only using those 3 watch faces.

I'm wondering if this is a limitation to the developer from Samsung in order to make us use those three only or if it's possible to somehow code them in order to have a "quick glance" version of those third party watch faces Anyone?
Oh yes a HUGE limitation and UNACCEPTABLE!!! <sarcasm intended>
Are you serious? Do you have even the slightest understanding of the amazing technology being used in this device, or it's incredible capabilities? And you are stressing over something so incredibly trivial.
Staggering!

Might be trivial to you. The always-on watch face is huge to me. Being a d*ck about it doesn't change anything.
And its unacceptable, because its already implemented and therefore its not a hardware limitation. Samsung are just being retarded in dealing with their watch face developers.

@ozaghloul has a point... Samsung has been "lacking" with the watch face devs, I dont believe they have released the watch face sdk and I dont know if they ever will. The always on feature tends to be useful, I know my watch hasnt always responded to the on "motion" at times.

In fact I find that switching off the motion and using the always-on screen actually saves a bit of battery. Also the always-on screen just looks so good especially at night. Not to mention how much quicker it is to glance at the watch and not have to wait for the motion to wake it up (sometimes unsuccessfully).
All that talk is about the nice analog always on screens of the first 3 faces (also number 6 has a nice analog). Its not about that Fugly nasty tiny little digital clock you get with all the other faces.
It should be fixed already long time ago! I'm not going to buy any watchface until they won't have different "Clock Always On" option.
Just wanna say that i agree that there should be more faces for always on..i use always on and no motion

I totally agree with this. I honestly thought owing a Gear S with my Note 4 would be a much better experience. In reality it's not all it's cracked up to be. Even more so since Watchstyler has stopped working...Lame.
I don't understand how the developers are just accepting this. This directly affects their revenues too, because I am certain many more people will buy watch faces if they become fully functional.

Totally agree with you! I've been patient but now it's just pathetic... Device these days is nothing without proper software and proper updates to its software... I would totally buy some new watchfaces but it's missing it's point without new "Always ON watch face".
There are some really great 3rd party watchfaces but they are missing this crucial factor!
And still, the other thing is that. There should be an option to deactivate "touch to wake" when "Clock Always" is ON. Now, when taking the shower it's going CraaaaAzy! And the same while running with a long sleeve (moisture inside of the sleeve)
1. Hopefully the new sdk wich come days agoo fix this?!
2. Why dont any devps respond?
Hi,
There is only one watch face which has an option to Turn on "Always On". Its name is "Desk Clock". Its free
It is not a "real" Samsung mode Always ON. If we select Always ON on Gear setting we have the classic digital clock and not this. It is just a clock wich avoid the dim mode and force the Gear to not sleep.
Hello everyone, I did the following, there is only one thing you must get used to and you can have your favourite watch face available with the wake-up gesture on, here is what I did in the gear s "settings--> display--> wake-up screen--> select "Last screen". The only down side to this is you must remember to hit the home button to your home screen before going into sleep. When the screen is off and you glance the watch face will appear and not the digital clock from the other non samsung default watch faces.
Remember by doing so more battery will be used unless you select a similar watch face as the digital one. It will show for the same 10 seconds as the digital face.
A bonus to this is that you do not have to tap the screen to wake from the digital clock, you go directly to the home screen, that is one less tap per glance.
Do not forget to hit the home button, you will get used to that or swipe down till you get the home screen.
Enjoy!!!
Whilst I do sympathise with the OP (and if it is a big deal for him then that's for good reason) I do think this watch looks amazing with some of the clocks that are available in the store and to not show them off when you flick your wrist is a bit of a waste really. Also there are a couple of clock faces on the Samsung Store that you can enable always on, they seem to work OK.
I keep the brightness and volume down a bit and limit the notifications to essentials and the battery easily lasts 1-2 days. But I love to see a proper clock face when I look at the watch so for me this isn't a huge issue.
Great

U r brilliant really, great idea and it never came to my mind
Man, coming up on a year... still stuck with the same crappy digital "Always On" watch faces. Anyway around this with root? I just want one of the stock analog "always on" black and white faces with a different watch face from galaxy store.
The crazy acting during shower can be fixed if you turn on not disturb mode
Idont get why there is still No fix for the always on watch Faces!!!
I even tested the always Screen on app , it works but battery last about 6-7 Hours. thow its Cool to have any face You like always Oh

Hello!
My issue and need for the app:
I am working the lights at the theater in my school.
In the light booth, it can be difficult to keep up with the script because the booth makes sounds quieter.
If I lose track of the script at the wrong time, I could miss crucial cues for lighting.
I need an app that allows my stage manager to click a button on her phone, and I get a pop up on my screen; or perhaps the button she clicks will light up on my screen; just something of that nature that would allow her to give me instant directions, which means these "cue notifications" would need to have a name or label. It would essentially make her my ears on stage. We would probably also use it to let me know when were going live soon, etc.
IOS availability would be super convenient, as my stage manager has an iPhone.
I've searched for something like this, I just don't know what something like this would be called.
We have a show tonight, and this would be a life saver.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks
