For those of us who use Textra as our SMS app, please go into the settings menu> support> contact us and request that they make an edge panel with the same functionality as the floating notification. I have requested this feature and they are open to it but are unsure if there are enough Edge owners using Textra. It would be the only SMS app to show the actual text as opposed to just the notification icon.

Added request.
Done
Not a textra user but looked them up on Google play and requested the feature too. Told if was addedi would their app.
Done sent them a request, they even replied back to asking me for a screen shot showing where exactly I would like the preview to come. So sent them the screen shot and they have acknowledged with "Thanks" ... now lets wait and watch
Not trying to troll but both the stock and go show the notification on the side
In fact i don't get any verbage at the top anymore. Every program has transferred to the side

I jump between textra and evolvesms. Last week textra had an overlay on top of the main screen. I immediately uninstalled it because thats what the edge is for. If they are open to suggestions I will request that feature as well now that I know.

I like having a "dark" or "black" skin for messaging. Stock can't do that to my knowledge.
I tried GoSMS back on my note 2 but seemed like a lot of bloat. Textra was simple, straight to the point, and customized just enough for my liking.
Maybe I'll give GoSMS a try again?
Just submitted a request for this as well. :good:
Agreed and done.
Guys
I think our request has been done, there was a update to Textra yesterday on my phone, updated through playstore and now i can see the message text on my Edge screen when a new message comes

You can see it for just a second and that's it? right? same as GoSMS? no function inside the edge screen or anything unique?

I see the complete message when it comes if its big message the text moves line after line and if I click on it that takes me to the message in textra.
Yes the message text does not stay on the screen for a long time but its comes as soon as a message is received and shows the text line after line and then goes ...
I had also requested Textra team to add unread notification count on their icon to show up which I think would be kool to see on the edge screen

Got it... out of thanks for the day... but thank you for replying... So, basically the same as GoSMS... If they ever do the unread notification icon to show on the Edge Screen, that will definitely make me move to Textra... I was looking at the sceenshots from Textra from Google Play... and it looks almost identical to GoSMS... lol... (the developers are copying each other, lol)
My Bad guys ..
I have tested the textra messaging app now on Nova Launcher & on Toch Wiz .
On both the message preview is still coming as a floating window on the main screen and not on the edge screen at all ...
But the unread notification count is now showing up correctly on the edge dock on textra icon

I made good on my promise to switch once they abopted edge notifications. I also read you have to turn off the floating notification. I didnt have to for mine to work but I did anyways. Works great, just wish there was a call button like on the stock application on the same screen. Its there but a couple clicks away.

Mine wouldn't work without turning off floating notifications.
Does it work if the phone is locked for you guys? Only my express me panel lights up. No message preview.

Yeah mine does. But it shows as soon as it comes in and only gives you like 5 seconds, if that. But that's the same as the stock app. I'm under the impression the factory settings are the main road block to getting the edge panel to behave the way we want. Maybe the guys who have rooted could let us know if this is the case. I gotta play straight on this phone so i won't be rooting anytime soon. I'm hoping maybe a modified nova launcher might get released for the edge. I've used nova on all my Galaxy's and am sure they could get this edge panel sorted out.

lock screen notifications? they come up in a red circle on the lock screen to show you missed calls/messages
I'm running cm9
No lock screen notis. Get hand cent from the market. It'll turn the screen on with a pop up of the new text.

having moved from the walled in garden called the iphone, i expected that this functionally would be available by default on android (ICS).
can't believe it's not !
and dont forget you are running a version that is aleaked and not official, official releases might have it included it might not
Also, most Android phones have notification lights that flash different colours for different types of notification.
Samsung decided not to implement this... But there's a great app on Google Play, called NoLed, that can display notifications on the screen. Doesn't use much battery if you set it up right either - rarely even registers on the batt stats!
If you are from the iPhone then something else to warn you about is that any text messages > 3 messages long will be converted to MMS.
Handcent is a good alternative texting app that allows you to control whether or not this happens (there's no option in Android's default messaging app.)
Caught me out and cost me for the MMS messages too since they aren't included in my contract.
CM9 Roms are still in development
I'd recommend you go here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and make a new post asking for this to be included in a future release.
CyanogenMod is strong because it users suggestions are taken on-board if they get enough support from the rest of the community. make the post, put it here and I'll post in support.
and DONATE. even if its £1/$1.6 they will only get better if you give your support.
NoLed is a brilliant tool for screen notifications, with possibility to monitor not only standard things like SMS and mail, you can also monitor apps, like Wordfeud or anything else

Guys, I am looking for any suggestions you guys use for the best method to be notified of text and missed calls and such. It was always pretty good with the old iphone in such see the message swipe and then reply. I now really like the new little pop up that comes with the stock messaging app. But the popup is gone in about 2 seconds. Also do we not have any method to have notifications show on the lock screen. Just do not like at all to have to look in the notification center for this stuff. I do use Handcent texting mostly just for the pop up. But still not popup for a missed call. At least the S4 has a notification on the lock screen. I usually finally find a good set up but was wondering what most of you guys do. Thanks
You can try dashclock from play store. It's a widget that you can put on the lockscreen and it has a lot of extensions allowing you to see between others: clock, date, calendars, weather, alarm, gmail, whatsapp, sms, missed calls etc, battery info, etc...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Years ago I used Handcent solely because I could set recurring notifications. I've since gotten so attached to the little green droid that we now communicate via telepathy...or so it seems...
Why not rely on the notification light? I use Light Flow which not only lets you customize color but also duration and flash rate. So for me emails get a normal flash and turn off after 15 minutes. But a missed call is more important so I have it flashing red very fast and for a long time - like an hour so I'm sure not to miss it.
But this only works when screen is off of course.
I use Dynamic Notifications and Light Flow. The combo really works well for me and I like that I can schedule a sleep time so it doesn't light up the screen or the notification lights when I'm sleeping. DN will keep showing the notification at set intervals until I enter the app or clear it. Very simple, efficient, and customizable. LF is used mainly because the stock light settings did not have enough customizing ability.

Get Nils along with Nils+. This will give you very iPhone-ish lockscreen notifications. You can swipe them away to dismiss or slide the icon to launch the app. Nils is the main program and includes a widget (old method), and Nils+ will overlay the lockscreen with the notifications (new method, doesn't need a widget).
I personally use Nils beta from Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/115156552435983276604?partnerid=gplp0
Use the links on the right side to Enable Tester for Nils and Nils+. Then you can download them. Nils is on the play store (no tester required), but you must be a Nils+ tester to use Nils+.
I really like the convience of getting a notification, not missing it and being able to reply quickly. As much so many other things the android system does betteras compared to IOS, This is were I struggle to get it better. The LED is great. Helps not miss anything. I have used Lightflow on and off a lot over the last year with a GS3. SO MANY mixed results. lights would work for some apss then not others and then getting the notification LED to cancel when message was cleared has always been a pain. Maybe need to give Lightflow a try on the G2. I'll check out Nils+ and Dynamic Notifications. For now I'm using Handcent which is working ok but I actually like the stock messanger. Thanks again!!!
if you don't mind paying, look up glowfly. it's a pop-up app for texting that works pretty well. I've been using it for about a year. I loved the stock g2 sms pop-up bc it didn't interrupt what you were doing, like if you're watching a video it kept playing... any other popup app, including glowfly, pause the video. but whatever. works better.

I've poked around forums a bit and haven't found answers for these:
1) Edge Lighting - Currently this appears to only work with a few apps (from the ones I have installed it looks like Hangouts, Messages, and Skype). Anyone know whether there's a way to get this working with other messaging apps like Textra?
2) Always on Display: On my S7 Edge, there's a feature where you can view notification icons, but I do not see this on the S8 version. Is this functionality removed or has anyone figured out a way to get these on?
1) edge lighting -- go to settings then display then edge screen then edge lighting then manage notification and select all.

I've done this already, but it's not functional. When I go into the menu, there is a partition between Hangouts, Messages, Skype, and the rest of my apps. Thinking it may only work for those 3? Can anyone confirm they have gotten the Edge Lighting to work with other apps?
Can confirm Edge lighting is not working at all.
Yeah, im wondering how to get those cool pill shaped notifications you see. Is this not with verizon? I dont see any edge lighting.
Edge lighting only works on the Samsung messaging app and you must add the person to the people portion of the edge panel it doesn't seem to work with the carrier app such as Verizon Messenger
I'm having random experiences too... I'm stunned there are no 3rd party apps that do anything creative like this. Wouldn't be that hard. There is no customization to edge lighting. Something like light flow for amoled would be great
the phone has been out for like 10 minutes lol. lets wait for things to catch up a bit. im hoping that full screen scaling is implemented soon too.

I received an update on Friday, but it is still not working. I went check to see if there was another update, but to no avail. I'm not having any luck finding any other information on this. I'd like to get those notification on my AOD.
My edge lighting worked with Textra initiially but now it seems it's not working anymore.
I turned on the Edge Lighting thinking it was cool. Now it messed up my notifications. Now I just get a small icon and before I used to get the heads up notifications. I have to drag down the notifications panel in order for me to see my messages.

Ok my edge lighting is working, but on the AOD screen and no where else using Textra
Someone on another board figured it out
In order to get edge lighting for Textra to work
Turn edge lighting on set to always (of course), make sure Textra is chosen(of course) and then go to Textra settings, customize notifications and set wake screen to On(or Always)
This will give you Edge lighting on AOD for Textra
BUT note that this will disable the quick reply from the LOCK SCREEN function of textra (if you have that turned on). When you have edge lighting for Textra off and have wake screen set to on - when you get a text, the phone wakes to the lock screen so you can reply(if you have this turned on in the customize settings of course).

Can confirm this works. Also, WhatsApp got added to the list of apps above the line (along with hangouts, skype, and messages) and now works with Edge Lighting for me. No clue whether that was a WhatsApp side update or Samsung.
I had WhatsApp working since day one but seems I only get edge lighting when using the phone. When it's idled it doesn't work

the edge lighting is soooo much weaker than on S7edge - i can barely see it when phone is facedown
when face up and unlocked it does look cool how it circles the phone's edges
Meh ...
Dont like that if you get multiple notifications it only shows the content for the first one - then it says new notification (im talking about the pills notifications)

I think the new implementation is far more appealing and useful, especially for me. I never keep my phone face down. And I like how the screen doesn't turn on fully like it used to.

Fourth paragraph is the question If don't want the explanation lol:
OK so smart pop up is an alright feature I think! Reminds me of the old galaxy days and the Roms made for it with the same feature ☺. Is it called heads up display?
Anyway the thing it's missing is it only pops up the bubble and doesn't show any info forcing you to swipe down and look at the physical noticstion bar to see the info on the notification.
This makes me want to not use it for my messaging apps(the only reason to) because much like Facebook messenger it helps to see the message pop up for a second.
Basically my question is can we somehow even with an app enable normal notifications to pop up like they do with smart view off but still alao have smart view enabled.
I don't see why Samsung hides the physical notification and just has a bubble pop up it should be both! The bubble is just convenient to have as an option to view notifications over other apps lol. ?*
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Sorry basically I'm asking to have both the bubble and normal notification come up as it does if smart view were to be disabled for that app! If both can work simutanesouly. Or if an app can achieve the same effect. I don't like most the apps that do bubble notifications just not as fluid as the old custom Roms or Facebook messengers version.

The edge lighting flashes the edge of the phone with a message notification, the popup bubble then appears and if i pull down shade the notifications are also there.
I don't think i could miss a notification with all 3 , short of a hammer popping out of the screen and smashing my head. ??

Howdy everyone!
I am having an issue with my S10 not displaying notifications. The only notifications that work is the Messages app. When the phone is on a black screen, the Message app is the only one that will display and notify.
I want my other apps... Nest, Wyze, Meross, etc to do the same as the messaging app.
I have googled for hours and tried almost everything i can think of.
Help?
Are your notification settings turned on for each app under settings then notifications?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I checked for each app.. I have even compared to the actual message app that came on my device.
Beginning to notice this issue also
Since the April Update this happened. Looks like its not an "issue" but a system change.
There used to be a setting where you could turn the messages on/off etc...
For instance, i like that my edge panel lights up, and i get the icon on screen that i have a message.
My wife likes that message to be displayed on the screen so she can see it without having to actually go to it.
Now there is a little messges overlay for the stock app that pops up, similar to FB messenger, I actually like this idea, but that seems to be a huge change and i cant find the setting to revert to the old way.
