Mine does this as well but if I just tip my phone up, it flips back. Quite a few others including myself have reported issues with the gyro/accelerometer not working that's sent some of us back for replacement phones. Open your calendar or other app and check for rotation functionality between portrait and landscape. If that's working, the activate edge and tip your phone a bit. The feeds should flip.

[Q] Screen turning on for notifications?

Hi all I was wondering if anyone has found a way or an app/tweak so that notifications don't turn the screen on on the device when receiving notifications such as text messages? I find this highly annoying coming from android devices like the Nexus One and Motorola Milestone. I have found nowhere for this option. I use Handcent as my default sms app and i have the Bell i9000 if that helps. Thanks!

Tasker can do it.
A fellow-teammember created an app for that sorta thing:

Ok I downloaded tasker but looks very complex. Any idea or heads up for how I can go about the screen not turning on when handcent message comes in?

Thats weird... me its on sms and its highly annoying because I have unlock. Even with the options in Handcent to not turn on the screen it turns on. Tried the default sms app and same thing. Maybe is ADW Launcher? I'll try with the Samsung launcher to see...
ok so it does same thing with Samsung launcher as well. This is annoying! Does everyone else's screen turn on when they receive SMS? I tried noLED as well but screen turns on before it goes to the noLED screen.
Yes, but that's a good thing for me - otherwise I wouldn't know I had a notification if the phone is on my desk?

Yeah that's definitely true. I guess I will stop using the application called Unlock. This app was cool because it gets rid of the lock screen but its annoying to have your screen turn on while its in your pocket and there is no lock. I guess it's something I will have to live with.

I ran into the same problem, using Textra for messaging.
Using textra fixed it or using textra has the same issue ?
Textra has the same issue. GF almost went ballistic when I missed a couple of texts. Got that straightened out, but not the notifications.
Edit: Just sent myself a text. No sound, no vibration; but I did get a notification on my lock screen. Using Hi Locker for lock screen.
Dude I know your pain my girl is about to blow a gasket and she thinks I'm just ignoring her or imbarrased
Hi locker huh I'll check it out thanks

Smart fitting service

Hello,
I just received my note 8 from getting the screen replaced. I have noticed that in the YouTube app, the smart screen fitting service is not working and the icon to fit the video to screen is also missing. I enabled all disabled services, which didn't help. I uninstalled the YouTube app to return it to factory version, but that did nothing also. Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you

Edge Lighting with Android Messages App

Hello,
Has anyone figured out how to get Edge Lighting and the bubble notification at the top to work with the Android Messages app? It worked fine with the stock Samsung Messages app, but I cannot get it to work with the Android messages app. I changed the setting within Edge Lighting to be enabled and have the Android Messages notification set to urgent, but still no luck.
Appreciate any help!
Thanks
From my experience not all the apps are edge lighting compatible, including gmail, youtube and many other applications... I can not tell you why but I think it has to do with how each app send notifications.
Maybe smarter people can give you more technical explanations ?
Works fine for me, although I use textra as my messaging app. I have Google messages and occasionally switch back to it, but wanted to test it for you
I can't upload a photo now for some reason

Thanks for your reply. I just tried some tests and it seems that the edge lighting works when my screen is on and I receive a text. But it does not work when my "Always On Display" is on. Do you notice that as well?
I have the Verizon version and also use Textra as my SMS app. I just sent a text from the wife's Note 9 and with mine on the AOD, I saw the small popup at the top and she lighting lit up. I tried to grab a screenshot, but apparently doesn't work on AOD.

my edge lighting has the option to work with screen off or on or both..did you check that?
Thank you both for the feedback. I have the setting set to Always (aka both with Screen On or Off) but it does not work with the screen off (AOD).

I wonder what the difference is...crazy
I am having the same issue. Didn't work when screen is off. With or without AOD, it doesn't work at all. Only on screen on I see it no problem.

Glad to know it's not just me. Perhaps this is something that Google can fix with an update? I submitted feedback via the app.

Edge lighting not working S10e

Is edge lighting working for anyone? I've turned it on, ensured transparency is low, thickest border, set to always. Nothing. With or without Aod, which I use, but still want edge lighting until we get the camera cutout led.
Umm how can there be edge lighting on the s10e when it doesn't have a curved screen?

I can't get edge lighting to work at all, it only works for Samsung Messaging. Other apps for it to work, the screen has to be on so it's useless. This was the worst decision ever to get rid of the LED light.
Same problem, tried the guide from reddit but still no luck. It works on Viber but doesn't work on WhatsApp.

Yeah I've found it does work for texts so it's just WhatsApp that's not working for me.
On playing with the notification settings in WhatsApp it did work when I enable 'pop ups' which are unsightly so looks like a bug..?

Edge lighting + still only works on stock messaging app for me (using pulse). I've set the notification reminder to 3 min for calls and messages and that along with always on display is working pretty good in terms of not missing texts. Still looking forward to front cam ring led light though. They better not be teasing with that update lol.

You need to go to "manage notifications" in the edge lighting settings. You can turn on or off any app you want.
Is that in theory or does it actually work for you? I haven't heard of it working for anybody (for most apps) since 9
NOT working on S10. Had Samsung rep at Best Buy mess with it. He fixed it while I was in the store, but after I left and customized the color, NOT working again!! So annoying!!
He told me he cleared cache and force closed edge lighting app, but I can't find it!!
HELP!!
On my S10e it only works with Hangouts when the screen is turned on, which is pretty much useless. GMail, WhatsApp & Telegram not working at all.
Downloaded and trying it out.
Can confirm as well that it isn't working on S10+
