Edge Screen Notification Persistent? - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

All,
Has anyone noticed in the past couple weeks that with AOD on and when receiving a notification that activates Edge Lighting, that a little Edge Screen notification bubble comes on the AOD screen while the light is on, and disappears when the lighting is over, or upon unlock?
Kind of annoying to see a useless notification bubble under the clock for 3 seconds, and it's never done it before. I've disabled all notifications related to Edge Screen and it still shows up everytime I get a new notification that sets off the edge lighting.
Anyone experiencing this?

I personally haven't noticed it since I don't use it, but I did receive an Edge Lighting update last night.

Yes, since the last Update there is this strange notification. But, when the screen is on, the Icon won't appear, if not, is is there.

LOL, I'm trying it out but I still haven't found the bubble. The only thing close was the bubble effect in the settings.

Thank you! Now I can stop beating my head against the wall trying to fix it.

Notifications related questions from a new buyer perspective

Hi folks!
I am considering to buy Moto X (1st gen, smaller is better for me) but have couple of questions regarding how notifications are handled on the custom ROMs.
I am so used to seeing my notifications on LED panels on both Xperia SP and Xperia Ray. I can not live without them. LED notifications help me to see what kind of notifications are pending and accordingly I decide whether to pick up the phone or not.
Regarding Moto X with custom ROMs:
1. Can I see notifications without speaking and without touching the phone? I see it has Active Display feature, how long it lits the display after notification is received?
2. Can the LED on Moto X be used for notifications and configured different colors for each notification?
Little offtopic: How is the camera? You like it?
Thanks.
1. Search for Moto X active display on YouTube. Best to see it in action for yourself. I don't miss having a notification LED at all because I don't have to power the screen on to see what my notifications are.
2. No, there's a thread regarding the LED.
3. I'm fine with it, but I don't expect iPhone quality pictures.

1. I have seen the video but I could not figure out how long the notification would be displayed on the screen. When I work, I put the phone at the side on my desk and check it only when there is any notification. Suppose that a SMS arrived and screen lit up with the notification but due to work, I did not notice that I have a new SMS. After some time say, 10 minutes, I glance at the screen (without touching). Will I see the notification on the screen in this case? Currently I glance at the blinking LED and then I know there is something and only after that I pick up the phone to check notification. I hope that I was clear. Could you please clarify this?
2. I will check the LED thread.
3. Yes, I am not expecting much
Waving your hand over the screen or gently rocking the phone will activate active/Moto display. I've never timed the frequency of the notifications but I'd say it's about as often as a notification LED. With this, you won't have to pick up your phone to check because you'll know exactly what's waiting.

Thanks for the reply. What I am looking for is, with the glance only I should be able to tell that the notification is waiting. So, waving or picking up the phone to see notifications is not what I expect to do. Looks like active display is not what I thought it would be
If there is a new notification and you were not there to notice it, the screen will light up enough pixels periodically to inform you of the new notification(s). It will pulse on periodically and is noticeable in your peripheral vision. These active notifications are controlled by a low energy processor core and take less energy than a constantly blinking notification led. You can get very valuable info from the active notifications without turning on the screen, the notifications only use a few hundred pixels, whereas you have to turn on the whole screen to see what's up with a notification led. I was leery of the lack of a notification led, but now I greatly prefer the active notifications and will look for that feature on my next phone.

Also, the notification will flash about every 5 seconds and will be illuminated for about 2 seconds. I think it slows down after a while

[Q] Inconsistent Ambient Light (no notification received)

Hi. I was wondering why my ambient display is inconsistently pulsing after i turn off the screen, without having any notifications waiting for me?
Sometimes it pulses more than 10 times when it's laying on the table, but i haven't gotten any new notifications...

if you have it enabled, it also turns on when you pick up the device, or move it around. not just when you get notifications.

Yeah, I know that, but the ambient display pulses when I'm not touching the phone at all, It's laying completely still.

Ohnoes!
It's annoying because every time it pulses, I think that i've received a message, or a snap... but nope, nothing :/ just the screen pulsing for no reason

Screen Blinking at AOD

Hello,
It's been over a month after i'm using Note 9.
I put my device stand on my office desk so i can see easily if i have new notification coming.
After update to Pie, i found something strange on my device, the screen looks like blinking when AOD mode is active.
I'm sure it's not AOD animation / clock position move, no new notification too.
It's rarely happen, maybe like 1 or 2 times in a hour.
Anyone here face this issue?
I know it's not a big problem, but it's annoying to me.
thats normal, its so that the pixels dont decay on a spot and cause a screen burn in.

How do you get notifications?

For years I used my led for notifications. Even knew what kind of notification had based on the color of the led and with no need of an annoying sound.
Now I'm lost. Always on display for me it's a waste of battery. The edge lighting is not working properly (look for the thread about it) and anyway it only lights once, I would like to see it 10 minutes after. The light around the camera is useless, as Samsung didn't implement it.
I'm using always on edge, but it's not working properly with autoinput (an app I use so I don't have to slide to unlock every single time). Every notification I get the screen turns on, so now I'm using only when screen is on.
What do you do for notifications?
I started with a Garmin Fenix 3 HR a few years ago. Then to a Pebble 2 HR. Now, a Fenix 5S Plus. Added bonus: Smart Lock when the watch is connected (whenever I'm not in bed or the shower) negates the need to use the FPR.
I had an OG Pixel XL where to notification shows up for a bit with the first sentence of the notification. It does on a black screen too so great for battery, basically an Always on display that is activated by notifications. So easy to glance at my phone when getting a notification and decide whether to answer or ignore.
Now I'm lost too, there's no built in way to have the screen turn on when you get a notification so I'm using a third party app but it actually just shows the lockscreen not a black screen with the notification in the middle so it's jarring as hell.

Question Notifications and screen on

Hi Comrades,
Whenever I get a notification, the screen doesn't light up. This started happening after I changed the notification style from brief to detailed. Is there some other setting that I need to turn on so that screen lights up?
I was also shocked, samsungs have it like that, install glimpse if you want screen to turn on when notification arrives
