Yes I know, mine is working too, but now you can't give different colours to the contacts and is always green, and the new notification on the S8 is so much better, I saw a video how it works.

Pulling down notification bar problem!!!

Hi you all!
I'm so disappointed that after months there's still no stand-alone app which is able to pull down the notification bar and the quick settings of my device since the Lolliflop upgrade. I've downgraded once (was forced to upgrade again), contacted developers, today Samsung's customer support. What's left to do? Do I really need to downgrade once again? Is it really that hard to write an app like this?! Where are the developers?! Please help!
Many greetings

My suggestion would be factory resetting it.
Is there an app that does this on kitkat? Can u point me in the right direction?

Unfortunately they don't work in landscape mode for Note edge. .. [emoji20]
Any ideas to fix?
Really? Well, in landscape mode you can reach the status bar anyway much easier.

Not on note edge... there is no status bar in landscape mode....
This is good because space isn't wasted when for example u r using navigation...
But it would be good to be able to get notification bar down from the edge so that location can be turned on quickly when using navigation...
Thought this app would do it... but only works in portrait.
Can't you just swipe down from the top? What am I missing?
This: one hand use!

Swipe from the middle right edge to the center of the screen and back. It should shrink the screen for one hand use.
Thank you, but I know this gesture already. ?
Conceding defeat on this one. ...
I have the key features I need as shortcuts on an edge panel instead.
I am glad the status bar is hidden in landscape mode. .. means more usable screen area

Doesn't Nova Launcher do this? I have it set that I can swipe downwards anywhere on the home screen to bring down the notifications panel.

I haven't tried this specifically... but not sure it will work when the edge is at the top in landscape mode.
Have you been able to do this on the note edge?
It seems as if the edge blocks the notification panel coming down. ... no matter what app tries to bring it down.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I'm on a standard Note 4 can't help you there
But you could download the free version and give it a try, you never know.
EDIT: Just to confirm it DOES work in landscape mode on the standard Note 4.
Try this app, you can use it to customise the buttons or enable swipe actions to open notification bar etc

Unlock screen effects

Hi,
I'm using the swipe to unlock my screen. I couldn't find the different swipe effects in the settings...
Are they still available ?
Thanks

I was going to post the SAME thing...
it's annoying that the lock screen just kinda flicks away ..
Are we the only ones with this problem?
Thanks for the replies...
The update with marshmellow disable the unlock animation ( because of google )
Thanks..
That sucks....
That's weird...I saw a Gold S7 Edge display at T-Mobile with a water drop lock screen effect. The other S7 Edge display which was black didn't have a lock screen effect...weird.

This sucks! But Samsung made Good Lock that changes the whole lockscreen and adds effects (but with no sound)

S Health on lock screen

Previous Galaxy devices would show the step count from S Health on the lock screen. For the life of me I can't figure out how to make this show on the S7 Edge. Has anyone else had luck with this?
You can use the edge feeds under the edge screen settings. Just swipe the edge when the display is off and have it show the S Health steps. I too miss the lock screen showing it, but that's a way to get it.

You can also use Good Lock (found in Galaxy apps) to app the S health widget to your lock screen. It works well.

I don't see an option for S Health in the edge screen feeds. Was there something you had to download?
No, it was there stock on mine, are you sure your looking in the Edge Feeds setting?

I'm looking at "Edge Panel Settings" where I have the option to select things like compass, weather, sports, news, stocks, etc. There isn't a specific item to select for S Health.

Edge Lighting & question with Always On Display

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.

This actually corrected itself for me, I suspect it was included in the update. I had to manually check for system update to download, but I am now getting notification icons like I used to on my S7 Edge.

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.

Is there Anything to get Edge Lighting to continue for notifications?

So I'm trying to get something where the Edge Lighting continues to activate instead of or with the notification light. Anything like this exist or is it pretty much, one spin round the edge and that's all you'll get? Surely by now there is something that keeps it going for notifications, right?

I would also like to know. At first I thought it would be a pretty cool feature, but I was disappointed that it goes on once and that's it. Would be nice to have it work continuously on a set interval, like the led notifications. Also would be even nicer if we could set it up to alternate colors according to the apps generating the notifications, like blue for FB messenger, yellow for SMS, white for missed calls and so on.

You can set different colors for apps, well at least in Edge lighting +

Thanks. But can you make it keep alternating the colors? So when you come back to pick up your phone you will know by the edge lighting that you have missed call, skype msg and sms, for instance? I have that with the led notification, using "Light Manager" app. But having that functionality on Edge Lighting would be better I guess.

Yeah.. I'm not trying to change the colors really. I'm trying to set it up so that it continues lighting up until you check the message or whatever, essentially replacing the notification light with edge lighting that continues to pulse for however long it takes to check it. If that makes sense
Sooooo I been digging around and I found something close to what I want. Not exactly what I'm after, but a lot closer than edge lighting (+)...

Edge Lighting Notification App setup steps
Edge Lighting Notification App setup steps
- this app works on a S9+ running Pie 9.0
- both google messages notifs and aquamail notifs will now light the edge with both the screen off and on
- so i thought i would share the setup steps that worked on S9+ Pie
- note the steps marked ** are critical
- eln = edge lighting notification app (the app costs $1.99)
setup steps (Pie 9.0) that worked for me
================================
- it best to execute this sequence in order
- install app
- **apps, 3 dots, special access, notification access, eln, on
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, on
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, show edge lighting, always
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, edge lighting style, multi-color (whatever you like)
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, edge lighting interaction, off
- display, edge screen, edge lighting, manage notifs, edge lighting notification (just this one needs to be enabled)
- eln app, apps, +, messages, aquamail (enable apps that you want edge lighting to activate when they receive a notif)
- notif, see all, all, messages, show notifs, on
- notif, see all, all, aquamail, show notifs, on
- **restart your phone
- **send a text msg to yourself (the edge will not light up yet)
- notif, see all, all, eln, show, on
- notif, see all, all, eln, eln Channel, on (this will not show up until eln sends one notif)
- **notif, see all, all, eln, eln channel, notif style, sound and popup (the popup part is important)
(this will not show up until eln sees a text msg or email)
- now edge lighting will work when the screen is off or on for both txt msgs and emails
