mines still not working after restart

I faced the same problem. Is any way to get solved that?

I disabled all my Edge apps, they use a quite a chunk of ram for the purpose they serve.

The problem is not to disable Edge apps but feeds not working

I have the same issue when I swipe the edge on the s7 edge when the screen is locked it says unable to show notifications

Has never worked for me. Shows "unable to show notifications"

Not working for me either.
I was disabling some apps with Package Disabler Pro and I killed a bunch of them.
First thing I noticed was that mu Samsung S Clear Cover wasnt working (when I flipped the cover the screen wouldnt turn off), a simple restart fixed the problem but then I noticed the Edge Feed wasnt.
When I swipe my finger up and down on any side, nothing happens nor shows up.
I did notice that when I do the gesture the phone wouldnt sleep anymore (simply by holding my thumb on the home button after doing the up-down thing would unlock the phone) and the screen would still be black

Still no solution? I have a hungarian S7 edge and am facing the same ptoblem using the firmare version G935FXXU1APC8.

Solution to edge notifications not working
I found this for the s6. I was having the same issues with my s7. This fixed it!
How to solve “Unable to show notifications” problem for edge screen on Galaxy S6 edge?
You will get the “Unable to show notifications” on the edge screen if you disable notifications on lock screen,
As edge screen on Galaxy S6 edge is part of the lock screen. If you, for privacy reasons, disable notifications on lock screen, notifications will not be shown on edge screen as well.
Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge offers you three options on notifications on lock screen (in Settings—Sound and notifications –-Notifications on lock screen **I searched "notifications on lock screen in my settings***):
1.Show content. Notification will be shown, as well as the preview of the notification.
2.Hide content. Notification will be shown, but no preview of the content.
3.Do not show notifications. Notifications will not be shown on lock screen, including edge screen. If this is selected, you will get the “Unable to show notifications” on edges screen on Galaxy S6 edge.
So, the solution for this “Unable to show notifications” problem on edge screen on Galaxy S6 edge, is to choose Hide content or Show content for notifications on lock screen, not the third one.

Power on Edge Screen Without Power Button

In playing around with my Verizon Note Edge today, I discovered I was able to turn on the Edge screen by quickly swiping from the bottom of the edge screen, up about a third of the way, and then quickly back down (starting at the top and swiping down and then back up also works). It turns on the night clock and then started scrolling showing any pending notifications...pretty sweet! I do have the flip case on the phone, but did remove it to test it without and it still seemed to work. I have not been able to find anything documented on this, but it worked for me. Anyone else? I am really glad I made the decision to wait for the Edge!

I use action launcher 3 as launcher replacement and it has a tap feature that allows you to tap on the screen to turn it off, similar to LG G2 and G3... I use it all the time. not the same as what you posted but I wanted to share just in case someone is wondering

This hidden features hardly people knows but I already know this thing.
This can also be a hassle as I found out when the edge screen kept on rubbing against the inside of my pocket and accidentally turn on and drain my battery.
You must have some pretty tight jeans for it to do that...

This is a really cool feature - I notice that your screen stays on for sometime while scrolling thru your notifications... I have the VZW Note Edge as well but my screen times out within 30 seconds regardless of what I have my "Edge screen timeout" set to in system settings / Edge Screen - is there another way to keep the Edge screen active or from timing out so quick?
Just with the setting you already mentioned...it seems to work for me.
Use the gravity app....
Excellent app. I only use the power button to turn phone on and off...
And the bonus has been I don't accidently turn off the screen when turning volume up and down... was a constant menace on my note 2

Somehow activated an edge notification sidebar when screen is off?

I was cleaning my screen yesterday and somehow activated a sidebar that showed more detailed notifications than the always-on display. It was on the left side of the screen (the same side I have my edge display configured for). It had a checkbox at the top, and showed who sent the last email I received. I could swipe to a second screen that had a news ticker.
I have no idea how I activated this. I am sometimes able to do it again by cleaning the screen when the phone is powered off. But no amount of swiping/clicking with my finger seems to be able to do it. I can only accidentally do it by cleaning the screen with a cloth (wiping up and down on the screen).
Any ideas what this is, or how to activate it properly? I haven't seen anything about it in reviews, and I don't see it mentioned in the manual. I tried to take a screenshot, but apparently you can't do that when the screen is powered off.
Edit: I figured it out. It's the "Edge Feed". You activate it by swiping your finger up and back on the edge of the screen while the screen is powered off. There's a bunch of settings for it in the edge screen settings. I somehow just never noticed that portion of the feature before.
Swipe up then down quickly on the edge of the screen while the screen is off and you will see your notifications.
If you go into the Edge settings and go to Edge Feeds and you can see the settings there.

Thanks. I just figured it out as you were replying. Cool feature!
Haha - im guessing you are new to this Edge thing?
They have it on S6 Edge too - it bassically works by swiping the edge of the screen (while screen is off) and displaying basic information - you can continue swiping to get more minipanels
You can also use it as night watch - when phone is docked

Also you can asign edge colours to your contacts so if someone calls, txt or emails and the phone is screen-down - the edges will glow in a specific colour
I found that much more entertaining

S8 edge news Feed on the edge when screen off

On the s7 edge, when screen was off, there was a way to trigger on the edge display and see news feed and notifications scrolling on the edge display. Doesn't seem to work o S8.. any idea?

On my S7 edge running MM I go to Settings -> Edge Screen and have Edge Feed turned on. Not sure if Nougat or the S8 is different.
Have you tried hitting the magnifying glass to search for it while you're in the settings menu?
Even i couldn't find that option. Is this feature removed i n S8?

It only took someone to ask Samsung now we have to play the waiting game.
Technically S8 and S8 plus are an infinity display not an edge screen phones. That's the reason no edge feeds options in these latest phones.
I even contacted Samsung regarding the same and received the following message
"I am afraid that the S8 and S8+ do not have this feature as they have infinity screen not the edge screen.
There is no updates on whether the Edge
screen feature will be introduced on the
58 but please keep an eye on the
website as any news will be available on
there for you. Thank you"
Do you guys talk about "edge panels"? There are available many panels that you can choose from. No news feed panel though.
I had no S7 to compare but I like it a lot.
any news about edge feeds? is this can port from s7 edge rom?

Notification Drawer

is it just me ? I have used Tmobile and Verizon S7 on Nougat. And with both I have had trouble drawing down notification panel from any area on top of screen. I had to try 3 to 5 times before it responds. At first I thought it was the otterbox on both. But without the case its same issue. Could it be because i use the lowest display zoom . is this a general issue?

Am I blind or missing something, Edge Screen gone

One thing I am missing on the S8 from the S7 (apart from the camera with movement photo's) is the Edge Screen. I really like that and the feeds, especially at night seeing what the time is etc but even though the edge screen is in the s8 it doesn't seem to work like it did on the S7 with times to come on and off etc.
Is it because it has all gone or am I missing something?
Edge app and edge notifications are In different places. Look on your pull down to configure notifications.
In Notifications Edge screen is already allowed, thanks anyway
