Currently using Nite Edge and love being able to answer phone calls from the Edge as it doesn't intrude the whole screen. Does this still work on s7 edge?
Also, do you get notifications on the edge when using the phone or while it's on lock?

Nope, This was only on the Note Edge as it had a marginally more functional and a useful edge.
On the S7 Edge - Answering calls are not possible.
However when screen is off, you can swipe to view the notifications on the edge.

Hello Edge users,
Im using the Edge now for a month and running into some issues. Maybe you can help me
1. When using Chromecast to mirror the screen it also shows the edge screen which is useless. How can I prevent that part from projecting?
2. When I make a screencapture it also captures the edge screen which is also nog usefull most op te time
3. When Im in the car the phone is in a holder. One app showed traffic camera notifications in the middle of the screen on my Note 2. It is now showed on the edge screen where I can hardly see it. Can I get it back in the middle?
4. When using another app in the car, incoming calls are shown on the edge screen, but because of the phone holder I cannot reach the accept button. Can I get a call in the car onscreen?
I hope you can help me.
Settings call settings in the phone app will fix the call on thedge issue.
Swipe from the left on screen for screen shots.
Chromecast... ? Dunno what to tell you.
Other apps. Dunno

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.

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?
Edge feed

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?
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
Hey guys I had the S6 edge and had issues while typing, the edges would get touched and put in characters that I didn't want there, it was annoying. Is anyone having an issue while typing in the S7 edge?
I use SwiftKey which detects the edges and doesn't show any key in the curved area.

I use kii. I have never had that problem. I can't imagine it happening too much if you swipe to type. My case may help the edges from being touched inappropriately too. Something you may want to consider is that it is hard to find a good screen protector for S7 edge.
