I dropped my phone and cracked the screen at the bottom. It's barely noticeable, but the area at the bottom where it is cracked is unresponsive to touches. This is unfortunately the most important part of the screen, and makes navigating around the phone difficult.
Is there some kind of software workaround where I can basically push up the nav bar, and have it ignore the very bottom of the phone? Or is there a better solution? Pie appears to be another option, but I have found it semi-difficult to use.
Turn the phone upside down

Haha, right.
The physical button placement makes that sub-ideal (as well as the camera). That quickfix would just replace the nav bar issue with a notification bar issue.
Install custom Rom with pie and use that.
Hi guys nd gals, I recently received a ota update last week, must of been an android one I think as I'm still running 5.1.1 stock, anyway after I installed the update my lock screen has a weird tint on the top & bottom, it's greenish on top about 1cm from top of screen and the full width, on the bottom it's grayish and again about 1cm up and whole width, is this a android thing? It's awful to say the least, maybe a bug? I really don't know, cant seem to get rid of it now matter what I try... using s6 edge plus. . Can I upload photos on here? Thanx. ..Darren
Hey guys, you know that S7 Edge feature where if you swipe the edge when locked it will show notifications, well to me it doesnt work sometimes, reboot fixes it.
anyone else?

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.

I posted a solution on this thread. It worked for me.
Enter you phone settings then lock screen and security then notification and choose show content and this wil make the edge screen work and and problem f unable to show notification solved
hope u get satisfied guys ))
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?
So when u tap and get on ambient screen and after that press the power button it leads you to the lock screen, right?
Once i did that all of a sudden i got a line of red,green,yellow pixels going from middle to the bottom and top and after that they were gone.
It happen only once after that, found on Oneplus community other people with this problem but none said if it was software bug which got sorted out with update or is it a major screen problem.
Anyone experienced this on their 6T?
