Sprint S8 Users Please Help - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey guys and gals. Are your lock screen notifications working?
Where your screen lights up with the text information?
I'm not getting ANY lock screen notifications or screen off edge lighting. After calling Sprint and going to the store they end up telling me that lock screen notifications don't work on the Sprint variant and the YouTube videos I'm watching with notifications working is from another carrier.
I think Sprint is giving me the runaround because they don't want to give me a replacement.
Thanks!

[Q] Ambient Display issues

Hello to everyone,
I have a Note 4 N910F with stock Android 5.0.1 and i have seen some issues with the ambient display.
With this feature the phone is supposed to turn its screen on every time a notification arrives. My phone turns its screen on for some notifications like messages and viber but for other applications the screen doesnt turn on. Allthough if i press the home screen the notification is there on the lock screen.
Its kinda annoying thing because thats one of the major functions about android lollipop.
I would like to mention that its not any settings problem because all the notifications for its application are enabled on my phone.
If anyone knows if this is normal or software issue or application issue it would be very helpful. Thank you.
First of all... How did you get ambient display to work?
I don't have the option although sammobile posted a video with a lollipop rom having this feature.
I dont know if i am right but by ambient display i mean that when a notification arrives it appears on the lock screen and the screen turns on.
For me for some apps the notification is on the lock screen and the screen doesnt wake but for other apps like messages and viber both notifications and screen wake is there.
for that reason i use an app that whenever there is a new notification the screen turns on.

Hey. Could you share your csc files so that I can enable amibent display on my device?? Your device must have it only because the country you're in.
That's not ambient display. This function is missing in the recent release of 5.0.1 touchwiz. Sammobile did show it being there in the sound and notification menu above the daydream option but seems Samsung left it out in the release. I'm thinking that the delay with release for other European countries is due to bugs and missing items, I'm not sure. The original delay was to get tw lollipop to work with the vr headset. At present its hit and miss with notifications lighting up the screen when they arrive. Some apps do it and some don't. Ambient display is where you pick up the phone and notifications are shown in black and white for quick glance as is the case for nexus 6 lollipop or cm12. I'm hoping the rollout to other countries well have solved the missing ambient display and the priority notification not having any time option like in blocking mode on kk.

edge lighting notification not working

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?

Anyway of making notification edge when the screen is off?

Like LED notificaion but not when the screen is on,
Only when the screen is off?
Look for Always On Edge on Play Store. Some users are finding it fills your stated need.

Edge lighting not working

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
u can use an app verry usefull for me
"screen on notification"
u can find it on play store

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

[Q] Edge lighting notifications for Signal

hi there,
So my edge light notifications work but not with Signal, that is what i want.
in detail.
When the screen is on, i can see notifications, when it's OFF and you get a message they do not show but it does vibrate, i tried every single option possible on the phone. (maybe it depends which ones you switch on FIRST?)
If you get a phone call, they work OK.
I want to turn them on for messages with Signal with screen OFF. is there a magic setting?
i was playing with settings earlier and i managed to have it work but only on one of my S8s i have here, then restarted and "lost" it.
Whatsapp/telegram/ messages working fine but not Signal, that's an app i really like for security help.
does anyone know?
thanks,
Gabrio
