Looks like you can edit the build.prop to an s7edge and itll allow you to use it.....on the samsung note 7 forum someone did
I was thinking the same. Do you have a link to the thread or specific instructions on how to do it?

Yup, just got the email from oculus.
Important information about your Samsung Gear VR
Customer safety is our top priority. While Samsung investigates multiple reports of issues on the Samsung Galaxy Note7, Oculus is removing support for all Note7 devices on the Oculus platform.
If you have bought content in the Oculus store to use with your Note7 and you’d like to be refunded, Oculus will honor that. More information about the refund process is forthcoming, and if you have any immediate questions, please go here.
For more information regarding the Note7, please visit Samsung’s information page or contact Samsung directly.

Gonna use it as long as I still have the S7 Edge loaner, then I'll see if I can hack it as a cardboard viewer
Do you have to be rooted to edit build.prop?

I was under the impression the galaxy s5 was going to come with it preinstalled. It was the only bloatware I was actually looking forward too and when I looked at my Galaxy s5 there was nothing to be found! Does anyone have it yet?

Its a piece of software that helps you Speed Read. It was supposed to make its official debut on the Galaxy S5.
I was just wondering the same thing - it occurred to me that Spritz was supposed to debut with this phone but I've seen no mention since March.

I posted a thread in the general s5 QA section. I'm an At&t user and no Spritz there either, also not on the watch.
Very disappointed as well. Spritz / Samsung should at least offer some explanation. This was one of the main selling points of the phone for me
Just emailed their support team
I just emailed spritzinc support team and I'll let you know what I find. Seriously between this and not being able to root i'm about to hand this phone back to verizon.
Is it called "Brain Apps" on Spritz ?

One month later got this response from spritz "Benew0,
We're pleased to announce our new email reader for the G5 - to give it a try, go out to the Samsung App Store and search for 'SpritzMail'. Have fun with it and let us know if you have any issues - [email protected]
Thanks!

There you have it check the app store for a mail app
So did any one get the VR? Just want to see if it works with the edge. I know there had been some back and forth as to whether or not it would work. I ordered one and should be here today. Wasn't sure if I should expect it tow work or not.

Someone mentioned at the Gear VR forum that the Edge does not fit well inside the VR... If it is ever supported it might need some sort of adapter.
Please let us know how it goes...I also want to buy the vr.

Get a Google Cardboard, you will see more support for it than samsung VR initially. If you think you really like VR just invest that 200 towards a real headset like the oculus for the full effect.

You can probably sell it for more than what you paid for right now. Also Gear VR even with the phone is 10000x better than google glasses ridiculous price.
not sure if this helps but this article says the note edge 'fits"
http://gizmodo.com/samsung-gear-vr-review-hell-yes-i-will-strap-this-phon-1670312012
It's worth noting here that while Samsung has pointedly said that you're not supposed to try and fit the Galaxy Note Edge in here, you totally can. I mean, it doesn't "fit" in the conventional sense, but I've crammed it in a few times without breaking anything (yet). The problem is that the Note Edge doesn't launch the Oculus app when you plug it in. I'm sure there's probably some workaround but it probably involves black magic. Or at least root access.

it "fits" but there is also a software "app" that connects the Note4 to the VR whereas the edge does not
I ordered the VR... ETA: 1 week - Germany
When it comes I will either buy the damn Note4 or the Edge
Hope the app can be ported
Or someone finds a new way
I just exchanged my incendiary AT&T Note 7 for an S7 Edge, which is also a decent phone. I'm wondering if there's a way (without rooting) to reproduce any of the following software features that I got used to on the Note 7:
Secure Folder (instead of Private Mode)
New organization/presentation of the phone's Settings
Optimization page in Settings
Custom image for always-on display
Any advice appreciated.
As of right now none of those options are available. From what I've read all those options will be available on the Nougat update. Welcome to the edge bud.

you can change the aod pic but root and xposed is required. the other options no unless there is an xposed module for them and i can not say if there is or not as im no longer rooted. welcome to the edge family btw and hope the phone treats you well, battery is awesome for me stock and all. (custom roms one day)
please when they will have the new software s7 galaxy sm-g935A
From what I have noticed they typically are releases between the 23rd and 28th of the month.

I also came from Note 7.
There is a new AOD version released today for S7 Edge and one of the changes includes the ability to set custom image.
Wish there was a way to do the sPen gif creation on the S7 Edge. Its one of the main feature I miss from the Note 7. Anyone know if there is a way to do this on the S7 Edge.

I've only had the S7 Edge for 2 days (although owned one when they first came out - it was the S7 Edge that pulled me away from the iPhone) and I am SO MISSING my Note 7. That was the best phone ever. That S-Pen GIF feature was great. I want so many of those S-Pen features which is why I went for another Note. Now we probably have to wait another year for a Note 8. I think Samsung might lose a lot of money by not getting new customers but I think the old Samsung customers (like us) will continue to purchase their products.

I am missing this feature a lot so today I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen. Has the same S Pen software on it as the N7. On sale right now too. $100.00 off so it's $249.99 US. + free shipping.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/ta...ith-s-pen-16gb--wi-fi---black-sm-p580nzkaxar/
Hope this holds me over until the Note 8 comes out. Missing the N7 so much. Nothing compares for me.

Could it be the Galaxy Wearable app? Looks like they renamed it maybe? It shows Galaxy Wearable (Samsung Gear).

On the Pixel 2 XL, Play store will be not certified if you unlock the bootloader.. custom kernels fixed the issue.. probably same for OP 6T as well...did you flashing custom kernels on this?

Don't be a jerk. I understand this issue may be frustrating you but don't allow that frustration to cause you to be rude to those trying to help you. I've actually got both my Samsung Wireless Ear Buds and my Frontier watch synced and connected to my 6T. During the process I was actually led to the pages to install what I needed. I'm between classes right now. Let me get home later this afternoon and walk you through it. I can PM you or just post it here in case anyone else needs to see the info.
Hi
My question is, what features will we get from Note 10 for s10 plus owners? For example, will s10 plus get video record with effects? Thank you.
i think we will get video record with effects because its camera software
Hopefully we will get the desktop dex support with just a wire plugged into a win10 pc as the note has that.

S10 plus certainly live focus video capable... Its up to samsung whether to enable it or not for S10 series.... Or we lucky enough to have some dev port this over from note 10 series
I think most of the features will come to s10 and probably note 9. But Samsung will take their sweet time
