Hello everybody, I'm struggling with this problem from the day I bought my S8. The fact is: how the hell are you getting Edge Lightning works with ALL apps while screen is off? Everything is set fine in the edge lightning menu, I've tried several times, but Edge Nofitications work only while screen is ON. Also tried with Always On display, nothing. With screen off, nothing. I'm going mad since I find several users with this setting working great. Anyway can help? Thanks!
EDIT: with screen off it only works with the stock Samsung SMS app. Any other app doesn't work at all
It's never worked right for me even with stock apps. Oreo doesn't seem to fix anything even though they added new styles for it.
Same here.. but it's really incredible that some people got it fully working out of the box and some others got it broken and were never able to get it working..
No one gets it out of the box for all apps. The problem with edge lighting is that it works for apps that can turn on the screen when a notification is received (viber, messages). Whatsapp can only trigger edge lighting if U turn pop-up messages on.
So - samsung made a great app once again with VERY bad implementation. They should have let us to set edge lighting to glow instead notification light. Just to give us a pulse of light every few seconds. That would be an amazing feature!
I love edge lighting and hate samsung for crippling a great feature once again.
no, just few apps work

Yes I found that on the internet, also from a discussion on the official Samsung forum. It's really frustrating, that would have been a killer feature to me. I think they'll never solve this problem since it's about a year and two OS versions in which this feature is completely broken, Nougat and Oreo. What a shame
Samsung did not cripple any features, I found that when notifications for apps aren't set to important, edge lighting does not work for those notifications... check it out and you'll see the difference... peace ✌?

How can i do that?
With the Notification channel in Andriod O, you can only change application importance or priority level of they are optimized for it....not a lot of applications are optimized for notification channels, that why edge lightening doesn't work with certain applications....
Go to application, select the app and select notification and you'll know whether or not it has notification channels...

That simply doesn't work.. Tried with WhatsApp, it has notification channels I think, since it lets you configure every type of notification like single message, grup message etc.. and the notifications are already set with the highest priority.. But Edge Lightning doesn't work at all with screen off.
That seems really strange though... did you set your edge lightening setting to always? Try setting it to always and test WhatsApp with the screen off, because it does work for me...

Already did that.. It doesn't work at all, only with screen on
You have to activate whats app pop up it s works
Yes but that doesn't solve the problem since as soon as you unlock the screen you have the annoying popup to close. And, it isn't the way it's meant to be since it should work without workarounds with every app since there's built-in support in the edge lightning options.
Hello. I've got solution. This app translates old style notifications to new style notifications so all the apps have edge notifications enabled. You can customize color for any application and turn on/off edge notifications. Very good application, not like the others, which creates fakes color effects around display. It even works on AOD display, which is perfect. Ofc it has few bugs, like if you enable notification and scroll up than back, it shows like it didn't save your settings, but it did. Just set all your apps, turn off app and on and you can see, that it remembered all your settings. I've reported that bug, so I hope it get fixed. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting&rdid=com.movi soft.edgelighting

hi,
i use galaxy s9, however the edge lightning issue is the same for all new galaxy phones. i was told to submit a report via the samsung members app, still waiting for the answer.
the advertised app from the play store did work really well for some time. now however, it simply doesn't (i'm after the Pie upgrade). such a shame, cause the notification style is why i bought this phone, and it doesn't work as advertised.
The problem with edge lighting is that it needs apps to turn on the screen, and they rarely have that function since most android phones have notification lights instead of turning on the screen. For example, viber has the option to turn on the screen, hence the edge lighting works well with viber when the screen is turned off. Samsung messages do this as well. Other apps just turn on edge lighting when the screen is already on.
Samsung didn't think much about the functionality of the edge lighting feature if you ask me. Turned out to be a gimmick instead of a good feature, which sucks, because many people love it.
Yeah, I got it working through this app. There is a caviat, one color shines for all apps. That means there's no color change depending on the app that pushed a notification
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting
We really need to find a workaround for pie. I heard the app (edge lighting) isn't working on pie sadly

Hello everyone. I'd like for this thread to be a repository for Edge screen developments you'd like to see come to life.
I, for one would love to see edge notifications which when swiped, slide out the app they represent, like a drawer.
Go ahead
I'd like for notifications to scroll across the panel when the main display is off.

I would also like that same feature to come with a setting for adjusting the scroll speed and duration of the preview. In the stock configuration I find that it happens way too quick and there's no way to call it back up.
+1 also on a more comprehensive sports ticker.
And a suggestion I have been calling for is expanded settings for the edge panel itself. Specifically I would like to be able to adjust the background opacity to completely clear.
Already a thread about this.

In my opinion I think Samsung missed the obvious when they didn't put a clock and battery indicator on the notification panel(or any panel), especially because any app the you use on landscape mode you can't slide down just a lttle bit the regular notification slide down menu to get that hint on battery % left or the time without exiting my game, video, etc.
What I would like to see on my edge screen? Everything on the top of the phone when used normally should go to the edge when used on landscape, not some text that does nothing for you. The actual notification panel would be awesome cause then you will have the weather aswell.

For some apps/games yeah but for others that are landscape only nope. Some of this games I had in my S4 and I was able pull the notification slide down menu sideways or in landscape but in the edge it ain't happening, not even by orienting my phone vertically. This is the only thing that makes me think the Note4 would have been a better choice.

Ahh I see. The issue those apps forced landscape one way. Try a rotation app that forces the other way so the edge is on the bottom.

If you flip the phone 180° in landscape so the edge is down, a small swipe on the top (now opposite the edge) does what I think you want

Only works if the app supports both landscape orientations. Those games don't...
I guess it just comes down to each user.
I haven't had any apps not work the way I said.
I believe all the app will rotate 180 tho.
Edge notification panels
I think of all things that this phone is missing, are fully customizable panels for use on the edge screen.
Being limited to the 5-6 standard ones you can get for the phone, I find myself starting to regret getting this phone.
I was seriously hoping that the user would be able to create or even modify the panels a little more heavily.
Who the hell will use the yahoo stock app for god's sake? Would have been better offering a custom panel instead.
I am going to be looking into this to see how hard it is to create/manage these panels.
I will need suggestions as to what people would like these panels to do. Please try and think of what you want and post as many suggestions per post as possible so its easier to get an idea.

Love the device but I can't seem to find a way to disable heads up notifications! The system UI tuner cannot be activated by holding the gear icon on the T-Mobile V20. Any help ?
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I'm looking for the same answer, I'd prefer a bit more granular control of my notifications as the options available aren't enough. All I'd want to do is hide the "peek" option.
Seems like you have to go to the app specifically and tap notification from there you can hide them for that app.

How did you turn on battery percent?

Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
None of these settings are just for peek, you'd need access to the System UI Tuner for a slightly more granular adjustment. I would still want to be notified with a sound/vibration, I'd just want to hide peek which gets in the way when I'm doing other things on the phone.

Bumping because I am looking for the capability to do the same thing. For some reason they (ATT and/or LG) have blocked the System UI tuner which allows for blocking peeking notifications while keeping the sound and vibrations. Android not having a simple option to globally disable peeking is greatly annoying.
If there is no way to enable the System UI tuner is there another way to disable peeking notifications on the LG V20 while still allowing vibration/noise? Silent notifications are almost as useless as peeking/heads up notifications.
LG has. There has never to my knowledge has there been a LG device that has had it since it was introduced.

System UI Tuner is a special option, that has to be enabled (akin to Developer Options), added to Android M and above so barely any phones have it. Some carriers and manufacturers have disabled it on those that do, such as the V20.
Regardless of the System UI tuner there should be some other way on the LG V20 to disable peeking per app or globally. We are just trying to find a way on the LG V20 without also having to silence sound/vibration. There also does not seem to be an app to take care of the issue since those like HeadsOff are no longer compatible.

All you are able to do is what was linked above in the screenshot.
-Block (No notifications)
-Show silently (no sound, vibrate, or peek)
-Lock screen notifications (all, sensitive, none)

Am looking for this too it's driving me nuts anyone? It was present on galaxy note 7
Sent from my LG-H918 using XDA-Developers mobile app
add me to the list
this is an unbelievable situation, its driving me crazy.. i did lots of experiments and researches, still no solution, appearantly its an app based and not a general thing, i dont know why, apps and Andriod N.. Whatsapp in my case will be the exmaple
My conclusion is based on the below tests and readings:
- All my whatsapp settings are set to vibrate and/or sound, but no pop up
- Am using Novo launcher, so i thought the launcher is the problem, however, tried the default one, but still pops up
- surprisingly, Textra app, Telegram app, some other calendar apps, doesn't show a pop up peek if u disabled it from the app itself. keeping the sound and vibrate on as wanted.
- I sent to whatsapp an email, but the email they replied with was useless and didnt address the problem itself
- i tried few apps at the play store, but all of them didnt work, as non is built for Andriod N
- the only way is what mentioned in this thread, where you will block the notification alert and show it silently, and thats not what we want.
- Yes the UI Tuner is not activated and cant be activated in this device
The End result, its a problem in these specific apps with Andriod N, and its the problem from LG not activating the UI Tuner, if only there is a way to communicate with LG and force them to solve this problem.
Glad to hear others thoughts..
Dear all,
I can confirm that i was able to block the headsup using adb commands. Refer and search through the forums here at xda, few threads explained it.. Easy in 30 min done
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
You're welcome.
You should still get the ticker-like notification in the second screen.
thanks it works

Yes am still getting the ticker and thats a very useful feature in LGv20, i dont mind that as long as the headsup is disabled.
Ok now how do we get the notification to show longer in the second screen? Most my apps time out in about 2 seconds with the exception of the stock messaging app, and bluemail (both show for approx 5 seconds)...

On the top of that it doesn't synchronize all the contacts from corporate office 365 account, private outlook.com account, nor it synchronizes people photos from FB. I don't know what is going on here. This basically makes my phone useless crap. Is there any way to solve it? I've tried 4 different email apps. Doesn't help so far.
my goodness! I thought LG G4 software is bad. But compared to moto it's a sky rocket. I can't believe how bad moto is! I'm struggling third day to have some basic stuff, like contacts sync or know when someone called me, without digging into notification list. This things should work out of the box. My second Android after WP and second mistake. Is there any Android phone that actually works? Would Samsung do that?
I did some workarounds, like sync.me, also tried out Nine email client. The contacts from Hotmail showed up finally, but now all the contact details are exploded in separate entries! After 3 days still part of LinkedIN contacts are not synchronized. Whats more something constantly switches off Linkedin synchronization in accounts.
Regarding "New/Unread email" or "missed phone call" on home screen I'm getting hopeless. it's a toy not a smartphone!
Shall I try 3rd time with Samsung or just give up and pick bloody iPhone?
What you are experiencing is not normal, but it has been been seen following an OTA upgrade on multiple Moto devices...
After you received the update to 6.0.1 did you do a factory reset? That will likely fix your issue.

I've done as advised. No change. I checked also on Moto G3 of my son (also 6.0.1) - it doesn't show notifications either. It looks like a "feature" (a nasty design fault) rather then a bug! Who does it? Motorola! Respected phone manufacturer. No wonder they got insolvent.
I'll try out S7 - maybe these guys understand how people use phones. The secret of Iphone success is revealed - it's not because Iphone is so great. It's competition which is so weak.
I've got to say Sync.me does pretty decent job.
for the time being moving SIM card back to LG G4. Compared to Moto it's not such a bad device

I will referring to pull down notifications... Or do you mean the draw over notifications? If so, you need to give apps that permission explicitly, go to Settings - Apps and click the setup cog, then under Advanced tap "Draw over other apps", find the app in question and give it the permission.

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I would send you a screen shot, but I'm rookie here and have no permission to send URLs.
All the Apps have 'Draw over other apps' = "Yes", so this shouldn't be a problem.
I mean here, for instance WhatsApp icon on the home screen will be flagged with a little circle in it's corner, if there are any new messages received, that I haven't read yet. There will be a number inside this circle, telling me how many unread messages are there.
I thought it's an obvious function. But I may be wrong. It was standard thing in Windows Phone. It's on my LG G4, I'm pretty sure Samsung does it as well. Do you have it on your Moto?

There are some third party implementations, such as Nova Launcher Prime with the Tesla Unread plug in that can give you similar results, but they place it on the desktop icon (like my Gmail shown below), but this is not an implementation of standard/pure Android.

I'll try out Nova Prime. Thanks for the hint!
Not sure what happened, but I was getting notifications from Facebook just fine a few days ago. Now, I get the odd one here and there, but nothing for the most part. I checked my account and settings on both the S7 Edge as well as on Facebook itself and everything is the same. I changed nothing and all notifications are set to on. Like I said, I seem to get one occasionally.
Whenever I unlock my S7 Edge, I can see the badge there for a new notification on the Facebook icon, but I didn't get any notification sound or pop up notification. My wife has the exact same phone, exact same settings and exact same version of Facebook and she is and always has been getting notifications.
Anyone else have this issue? Seems like it is something being done in the background to the app.
No one else huh? Good times...
Does anyone know of a good Facebook alternative with realtime notifications? Several I have tried poll for notifications every xx minutes, but nothing in realtime. Not sure that's even possible, but thought I would ask if anyone knows of one.
Hmmmm, not a single comment huh? So no one knows? I wiped my device tonight and tried to start over. STILL, no notifications from Facebook. Nothing is OFF when it comes to notifications. Nothing is off on the account on Facebook. I checked the version number. It's the exact same of my wife's S7 Edge. Nothing is different. Certainly wiping the phone should have fixed this???
Once thing I noticed, when I check notifications on her phone in Facebook, she has the sound set to the classic Facebook Pop. Also, when I check the sound, her theme pops up and shows the list of sounds as part of the theme. When I check sounds on my device (after wiping), Facebook Pop is not there. Only a sound called Facebook. It is not the same sound. And, the theme I have loaded does not show up when the list of sounds is popped up to choose from. I loaded the same theme she has and again, the theme does not take over the list of sounds on the pop up. It is the default Facebook pop up. It's the same version of Facebook. The phone has been wiped. Why does the sound Facebook Pop (which she did not side load - she has never loaded anything on her phone like that - so Facebook installed it) appear on her phone but not mine? Why does the theme show the list of sounds when you choose a notification sound in her Facebook app, but not on mine (even the same theme)?? Anyone? This is very frustrating.
So bringing back this thread, even though no one responded previously. This is a bizarre issue that continues to this day, even after a factory reset.
So here are some screens. This is the same Galaxy S7 Edge. Same theme. Same version of Facebook. The last two screens you can see she has the themed selection for notifications. I have the default Facebook white dialog. This makes no sense.

As you can see, same phone, same theme, same version of Facebook. Yet she has a notification that is themed when selecting notification sound in the Facebook app under app settings. I have the default Facebook selection dialog. Why??? Same everything. This makes no sense and what is completely frustrating about Android.
so, if you tried factory reset, clear cache of that app, remove app from battery saving options, allow that app in settings-notifications, changing notification sound, check synchronization under settings-accounts-facebook, etc, then just maybe try to find problem in your facebook account (on desktop and mobile), under all that notification options...
you are using default launcher? and no apps like greenify or similar?

try giving the app some permissions? the only ones you have given it is location
not saying it will fix it but worth a try
and like the other guy said maybe its something to do with your actual facebook settings (your account settings) have a look on the full version of Facebook... this is not a problem with your phone bro

Checked all Facebook account settings on the desktop. I have ensured they are exactly the same as my wife who gets notifications, still has the default Facebook Pop sound (as you can see from my notification dialog, the sound is called just Facebook and is different) and is the one who has the themed pop up to choose the sound.
I am using fully stock, default launcher (as we are using the same theme from the Samsung theme store) and no apps like Greenify. After I did a factory reset, I setup the phone exactly like her phone is setup (I did her phone as well). This is a freakin' mystery. I still don't get all notifications (I occasionally get one here and there) and the pop up dialog to choose the notification sound as you can see is not themed like hers and the default Facebook Pop sound is gone. I downloaded the pop sound and placed it in the Notifications folder, but Facebook will not display it as an option to choose. It did one time and now it won't do it any longer.
I just don't understand why these things are different. Same phone, same setup exactly, same OS version, same updates, same Facebook version, same theme, same everything.

It hasn't asked for permissions. The only thing it asked me for was location and I granted it. If this is not a problem with the phone, then what? Again, everything is identical software wise.
i have a galaxy s7 with tmobile, android 7 and i am missing the pop sound all together. instead it has a tong/dong sound but no pop

Adds a configurable Energy Ring around the camera lens indicating current Battery level. Dive into the various configuration options, not only you can quickly glance and get the battery info but, Energy Ring adds an accent to your phone's camera lens.
Got a full charge? The Ring will be a 360 degree wrap around the front camera lens.
Battery depleting? So will the arc of Energy Ring.
Out of the box features:-
✓ Energy Ring can be configured from a width of 1 pixel to a donut thick ring
✓ Energy Ring puts almost 0% load on CPU, as it wakes up only to reflect any change in battery level
✓ Energy Ring's direction can be configured as clockwise/bidirectional/anti-clockwise
✓ Energy Ring can hide on fullscreen content (apps, videos, images, games etc)
✓ Energy Ring can be configured to change colors automatically depending on the live battery level
✓ Energy Ring could have a mono color/multiple color segments/gradient (pro)
✓ You can literally assign any color in the world for your favorite configuration
✓ Energy Ring has a number of cool animations whenever a power source is plugged into your device
All that is cool! But what about Energy Ring consuming Battery?!
This is one of the most exciting question for me to answer. Energy Ring more than anything understands that you need to utilize your battery efficiently (after all, that's why you installed the App, right? .) Energy Ring sits on the screen silently putting almost 0% load on CPU, if battery level changes, Android wakes up Energy Ring. Once awake, Energy Ring quickly updates itself and goes back to sleep. And to be that extra efficient, the Ring goes on deep sleep when you turn off the screen, meaning it doesn't even read changes in battery level when the screen is off.
Notification Access requirement:
Energy Ring does not read any Notification whatsoever, it merely relies on it to be alive. Be assured that the App does NOT access anything.

UPDATE!
ER_BETA_3:
You can now adjust the angle at which Energy Ring starts.
Could you post a picture with curved edition vs regular ?
Also, what is the price for pro version ?
Thank you for your work !
My worry is if it could cause burn in, is it possible to have it show up at every 5 percent and hide away.. Maybe I'm just too scared of burn in lol
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S10e using XDA Labs
ER_BETA_5 update!
* Added option to make Energy Ring's background transparent.
* Fixed issue 'Merged Segments' color configuration (First segment used to be hidden.)
* Attempts to fix issues with permission dialog compatibility with Chrome and other Sensitive Apps.
* Made minor adjustments to Ring alignment for S10+.
Screen burn-in:
The original variant of the App, Energy Bar has been used over several years by users on their AMOLED devices, there has been no complains. But there is no claim that it may not happen.
Samsung automatically moves few pixels every now and then to avoid screen burn-in which includes Energy Ring moving away from its original position. This change in position will however be visible only when you have set its thickness to minimum.
Please leave a rating on Google Play Store if you use the App, that helps, thanks!
No charging animation?
If you see no charging animation, it's probably because you have turned on this system setting which prevents Energy Ring from animating!
Settings > Accessibility > Visibility enhancements > Remove Animations > *uncheck if it's checked*.
It will better if the indicator also show on AOD
It looks to be about one pixel too low on my s10e
There is a hole in screenshot
I had been using this but have uninstalled it. I was happy, but was experiencing issues with apps not properly registering touches while this is running. The biggest example was the McDonalds app. One update caused no touch to register at all. The last version I tried caused you to be unable to click the shopping cart/bag. Anyone else experience app touch issues? They all resolved when the app was removed.

So, just to re-iterate. The latest update makes it inactive. Toggle the active switch on the top right of the app to activate it and follow the instructions to update the settings.
Seems like a burn in hazard to me. Does it moves a few pixels once in awhile to avoid burn in ?

Look how many AMLOED (or OLED) displays had the problems in the past, and the technology behind them hasn't developed much further (Like the Burn in).
The ring is enough for a few hours a day (normal use), that it burns itself in when too bright colors are used. That's why it's better to do it the same way as Samsung : that the ring always moves a few pixels.
It is not for nothing that the production of OLED television is cut back or stopped at some Producers...because even at Samsung the image has quickly burned itself in. Second reason is, OLED doesn't create the 3000cd/m2 that some 4k films already have. The future will probably be dual cell LCD'S with Quantum Dots even for mobile phones.
awesome apps
I'm using it and so far no issues to report.

EXCELLENT! I'm using it, now. ??
Haha, great small mod with actual added value by freeing up space in the status bar.
