Since I connected my s7 edge to my gear s the screen does not wake up when I get an email/text/outlook ect it only alerts on my gear s.
I looked in that forum nothing, I believe it is a setting for my phone and not a issue with the watch. Any help would be appreciated!
Both the phone and watch are stock non-rooted

trying to help a guy i work with, he has a verizon galaxy s5, i think he turned off the prox sensor because the screen now will not turn off when he takes a call and puts it up next to his ear, I looked though all the settings and didn;t see the option to turn it on or off in there like i have on my note 3. Does anyone have an idea where samsung hide that option in the settings, any help would be appreciated
thanks

I guess I thought this was normal behavior. This is news to me. Every other phone I've owned, when you put the phone up to your ear it turns off likely to conserve battery, and so the phone doesn't get too hot.
That is the normal behavior to turn off screen but I know there's a setting to make it so it'll stay on. At least there is on my note 3 and other phones I have had in the past. I just can't find it on his phone with the new layout of settings they did for the s5

Hi guys and gals,
I have the check box checked in the settings menu but the pedometer does not appear on my lockscreen. Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you using the pedometer of your Gear or Note 4?
When you use the Gear, it's NOT visible; when you use the Note 4 pedometer, it's visible!
Had the same issue. Bummer you can't see the pedometer from the Gear.

Ah that must be it. I do have the gear fit as well. Thanks for the clarification.

no pedometer on lock screen.. don't have a gear
Hi guys.
I dont have a wearable nor anyother device other than some wireless ear buds that i pair my note 4 too. No matter what i try o cant seem to be able to get my steps to show on the lock screen. The pedometer is checked under sertings and lockscreen advanced info.
Anyone experiencing this same issue?
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.

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 have Movistar Spain G6 since 3 days ago, today I have realized that the screen does not shut down when you connect to the my car handsfree, also when you turn off the car the display stays on, solutions are or restart the phone or remove screen locking and unlocking by footprint.Any solution?.

Could be a problem of Movistar Spain rom?
I had this issue this morning when driving to work. I use the State Farm Auto Insurance Drive and Save mobile app. The app pairs with a blue tooth beacon in my car and records my driving habits. This morning the screen would not turn off after the notification that a trip has started appeared on the lock screen.
Yesterday I updated the app via Google Play.
I'm an going to blame the app, not the phone, for this since the previous version on the app did not do this.
To work around this, I silenced notifications on the lock screen for this app.

I've already discovered the problem, the problem is the permission of access to messages that leave you the screen to appear on the lock screen, solution is to answer that permission, but when connected to the USB port to start Android Auto message reappears.
I had a Samsung Galaxy S7 and happen this turned off the screen.
Anyone else experiencing issues with the "keep screen turned off" feature after upgrading to nougat? I noticed that after upgrading, this feature stopped working. It was working fine prior to updating to nougat. I'm on Rogers S7 edge.
I've tried factory resetting my phone but the feature is still not working. I've tested the sensor with the test menu and the sensor seems to be working, so it seems like it's a software issue? Any one else experiencing this or know how to fix it?
Thanks
Yes. I too am getting this issue with mine. Brand new... perhaps a couple of weeks old.

I have the same issue. It fixes itself after a restart but after a while the "keep screen turned off" fails again.

Yes, me too. Anyone found a solution to this?
Same problem here. Isn’t there an app or something that will fix this, even if it requires root?
Is this where while on a call, you press the power button and the screen turns back on? If so, I'm getting that too.
Same issue after Nougat on Galaxy S6 Edge. My better half's S7, too. Any news on this?
I also have that issue.
It's a big problem for me because I basically can't use my phone in my car any more.
On outgoing or incoming calls the damn screen turns on and keeps on
and after a short while I accidently press one of the on-screen buttons and my call is aborted or muted.
(I own a Samsung Galaxy S6)
I too have this issue. I am using the lockscreen until Samsung fixes this.
