I just bought my S7 Edge on July 30th and I noticed the screensaver doesn't work. It worked fine on my S7 where there was an icon in the top right corner where your could choose when the screensaver/daydream would turn on (docked/charging/both), but that icon is missing on the S7 Edge, there's only a preview icon. When I tap preview the screensaver turns on and works fine, but when I turn the screen on then back off it doesn't show up. I've adjusted all of the settings and made sure the notification settings were selected, but nothing changed. I ended up doing a factory reset in hopes it would change, but it still won't work. Has the screensaver ever worked on the S7 Edge or has it been affected by a bug in a firmware update?
Any help on the situation would be much appreciated.

I have sprint model. When I get a text or call notification with phone upside down, the lock screen and capacitive buttons light up for a split second then the edge lights up according to it's configuration. It too lights up for just a second then the lock screen comes up thus canceling the edge before it gets started. Settings appear correct. Accelerometer works fine. No settings in regards to controlling the capacitive buttons or lockscreen from lighting up during an edge lighting notification. Not rooted ,completely stock using stock sms. Any help appreciated
Mine is not working either, Verizon here.
Any solution yet?
Maybe this is already known, but yesterday I found out with the screen off that if you tap the top right part of the screen where there the notification bar would be and then pull down, the screen will light up and show the time and notifications.
This is on a US991 model.
Def known already but it's a nice neat little trick. Although since the screen is an LCD panel I doubt there's any battery savings to be had except for not activating all the background services IF it's implemented well.
On my H815 EU model, I can swipe down from any part of the screen and have the same effect.
Realized this as I use a timer constantly at work - it'd be really useful to have it show the remaining time on the 2nd screen. Right now all that shows is a little hourglass icon, but I have to unlock the screen to see remaining time.
Same question for me as well. I currently have the Note Edge. My edge displays the countdown time on the edge screen. I was wondering if the V20 has the same capability on the second screen as well?
probably a bit off topic (but not too much)
I use the timer a lot and can't disable the vibration in it nor change the tune (both options are available in the Alarm)....any idea? Of course I'd like to have the timer on the second screen too.
Timer tone can be changed on a rooted device. I'm going to see if I can find Timer vibrate and maybe disable it.
Hi guys,
is edge lighting working for you?
I have mine set up to "always". But when I have my phone locked on the table and receive a notification, nothing happens.
The only option I have is to touch on my display once for the AOD to activate and then I can see the notification icon there.
I am looking for a solution which shows me the notification (with input, not only the icon) for a few seconds and then darkens the screen again.
Cheers
Mister Evo

The Edge lighting seems to work fine for me, I even snagged the Edge Lighting plus app get a few more options. Not with the edge lighting but I am able to tap the notification as it comes in to pull up a quick response pop up, but the phone is unlocked at that point. Not from screen off... security and shat not..
Just checked on my wife's s9 and on the s9 the edge lightning is not working either with screen off.
That's probably how it works in pie with One UI.
Hopefully an update to use a ring around the front camera will be released
My s7 edge screen, when the screen is off is turning on same as receiving a notification. An empty blue border cube icon, shows up on the black background which says ( content hidden). Once you turn on, the screen, the notification is not shown. Have tried multiple different applications for notification logs, none of them detects it. Have disabled secret folder and hide notification content, just so I am able to see what is it all about( did not help). Only shows up on turned off screen every 30 to 40 minutes. Fully up to date software. No idea what it is, but it is annoying. Does not triggers the notification light only the egde lighting. Any help/idea what might be and how to solve it?
