edge lighting - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I just need a quick clarification whether a certain behaviour is indeed as expected or not.
For starters whether screen is on or off when I get a message from Viber or the standard messaging app etc I will get the edge lighting glow and preview thing up top...
I've installed the app to be able to activate it for all my apps. However for example with FB messenger or a game that I have, the typical edge lighting behaviour only appears when the screen is off. If the screen is on I just get the standard notification sound and the notification is just found in the drop down notification bar. No edge lighting or anything. Is this normal? Is there a way to make them also exhibit this behaviour when screen is on as well?

It's already set there on always. Like I said with viber and the standard messaging app it is ALWAYS working normally, whether the screen is on or off... but with CERTAIN apps through the 3rd party app it only works when the screen is off.

can you check if you have smart popup

It's disabled

I don't know if will work in your situation but I too have struggled with getting edgelighting to work... The problem was solved when I went to developer settings and set the animations up to 0,5 instead of off, which I had chosen to get a faster phone...

Light flow not working properly?

I was dissapointed that not every app can let you choose the color for the notification led, specially Google apps, they all should have the option, I downloaded light flow, but I fins its behaviour erratic, I disabled the led for when its charging for example but sometimes it still flashes it, actually it doesn't flash the led, it stays turned on forever if I don't open the lift flow app, sometimes it stays in forever on too when I have a new message, I even delete the notification and check the message but the led won't turn off does anyone else has issues with it?
Can you recommend a better app?

Works fine for me. A notification will get "stuck" maybe once every few weeks. Other then that it works fine.

LightFlow works absolutley fine for me.
I had something that i mistook for "Phantom-Notifications". The LED was flashing without any notification in my notification-bar.
But i realised, that i have my gmail-app set to only remind me for mails in my priority inbox while lightflow was also notifying me for the normal inbox.
Maybe it is something similar on your phone.
To get my lightflow to work properly i had to go into the general settings and under main led control select 'control - lightflow controls the led' and this seemed to cure a lot of random/erratic flashes.
Where? Under general settings there's no led setting, all I was able to do was tick or untick pulse notification light under "display "

Yes under general settings, if you scroll to the bottom there is an option called 'main led control' and when i tap that it gives me 2 options, first is 'no control - default device behaviour' and the second (which i use to fix issues) is 'control - light flow controls the led'. I hope that helps you find it I do have the paid version however so if you are using the lite version i dont know if the option is there.

Sometimes I'll get no LED notifications until I manually open Light Flow, then it starts working. Kind of annoying. Is there any way to always keep it in memory?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I had issues to. But there is a setting to clear the notification when you pull down the notification bar. This works best for me. You have to do this for each app though.
Also while charging I put it so that the newest notification would turn on. That way there is no cycling etc.
U have the paid version if you have any other questions let me know.

Found it but it was in the light flow settings, I thought you were referring to the nexus main menu, I already had "lightflow controls the led " enabled

Again in light flow settings there is a tick box to run in foreground, that might help and if you use any kind of task killer make sure you add it to the exclude list
As for OP im not sure what else you can do to make it more reliable, the lightflow control worked great for me. Sorry i cant help any further

I always have that box ticked, but usually have to start the app after rebooting anyway. I didn't know people still used task killers lol.

You're exactly like me, I have the run in background option ticked, what I ended up doing is starting the app every time I turn on the phone (I turn it off every night ) this makes the app behave better, its like it doesn't start correctly by itself

Screen doesn't turn on for me when I get texts using stock messaging app. It's been that way out of the box, I never had to disable anything.
What model you have?

Yes, it's an annoying feature but unfortunately cannot be turned off if you use the stock messaging app. One option is to use 3rd party messaging like go message
I have just tested. Seems that hangouts doesn't turn on the screen

I have the D851 US T-Mobile variant. I use the stock SMS app and my screen does not turn on when I get a text or MMS. It was that way out of the box, I'm not using Hangouts, so I don't know how that works there.
I think I might have found the issue in message settings.
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
yes you have to uncheck notifications - display message notifications if you don't want the screen to turn when you receive an sms BUT you won't be notified with a message tone but only through the LED (color green).
new message pop-up - little popup box upper left corner on homescreen. only shows from whom and not some of the message if preview is unchecked.
preview - shows a preview of message.
if you only disable any of these two but still checked notifications, screen will still light up and you still get to hear message tone but no popup window on upper left of homescreen.
LG should fix these as some people still want the option hear the message tone when a text arrives but don't want the screen to turn on and also retain the option to turning the screen on for those who want it this way. not like this one wherein the only option you have if you want screen off when receiving message is the message tone is also disabled.
for now, tweaks from mods like tweaksbox perhaps will do.
confirmed tweak new message screen off from g3 tweaksbox works the way it should for those who want screen off when receiving new message but still want the message tone. just remember to restart phone when setting this option.

Keep screen OFF when receiving notifications

I have a smartwatch and my beautiful phone has also a notification LED. Considering this, I do not want to use the lock-screen notifications at all.
Therefore, I turned OFF the lock screen notifications from the "sounds and notifications" settings menu but even now, in case of a notification or event, the screen will turn ON briefly. If the phone is in my pocket during that time and I have a trusted device nearby (my smartwatch) then the phone will unlock by randomly swiping the screen with my leg (large shorts ).
For the past few days I pulled out the phone in different languages, or with the tethering hotspot active or other randomly activated settings.
So, the 1000 points question is: how the heck can I force the 10 to not turn on the screen on notifications? I have no root and I do not intend to install one (company policy). Is there any solution? Thx.
Interesting. My screen never wakes up to show me a notification, so I'm wondering if it's app specific? I know with Textra, there's a setting to wake the screen for each text message, but I have that turned off.
It's definitely an app you're using that's turning on the screen.

Thank you guys. It was indeed app specific. After you posted this I started looking in all the settings from all the apps with notifications access. The guilty one was Nils. There was a small switch to turn on the screen, indeed.
Thanks again.

No it doesn't. But you can enable the Always-on display function to see notifications icons when your screen is off.

Most manufacturers have either phased them out already or are probably in the process of phasing them out. Its like asking for a removable battery. I miss them too but things change.

As someone else mentioned, you can enable side light so the edge of the screen lights up. If you go into the app specific notifications you can also enable the camera flash for notifications. I have this on for SMS and calls.
Hi guys,
Do we have an app that works for the LG G8 like Pulse Beat for the 6T?
And I see no option to wake screen when I receive a notification.
The G8 doesn't have LED Notification BUT it has SideLighr Notifications.
Settings>General>Apps& Notifications>Notifications>Brief Notifications>SideLight
You can choose which apps to show Notifications.

Yeah I know and it works well but once that is finished and I didn't see it I wouldn't know if I got a notification. AOD seems to be the only way round and I'm trying out Glimpse Notification from the play store as an alternative.
Hurray!

Edge lighting - notifications

Since our AOD notifications light comes only once and it's barely visible, I've decided to find some replacement for it...
I tried a few AOD apps from Play Store but the phone never goes in deep sleep with them,except for this one :good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newgen.edgelighting
It illuminates the edges of the screen when a notification appears, it's colorful, goes around the sreen,very visible...you can change its duration,thickness...there's a few more settings there but only in the premium version...
I think you'll like it,check it out
Here's a gif example...
I tried it but couldn't make it work, it doesn't light up the screen, what settings do i have to enable/disable to make it work? I have given all the required permissions.
---------------------------------
Nevermind, I managed to make it work. Thanks

After you give all permissions through the app, go to settings/apps/permissions/other permissions,find True Edge and give the permissions again for Modify system settings and Show on lock screen...

Turn on MIUI optimisation /Settings -> Additional settings -> Developer options - deep down below/ should be turned ON, active.
Otherwise True Edge doesn`t work - no matter of permissions given.
At least on Chinese stable rom - in the signature below.

It isn't enough when app ask for them, you must go to Settings/Apps/Permissions/Other permissions,find True Edge and check Modify Sytem settings and Show on lock screen...
And lock it on the recent apps and allow Autostart.
Also check Force Service in True Edge settings...

Hi,
I installed this, because the little led on front camera is just a joke.
The app works fine for all notifications that do not turn screen on, so it works well for email or message-app.
But if a notification turns the screen on, this app does not work, so I get no lighting from whatsapp or missed calls that both turn on the screen for a moment.
Does someone have any idea how to solve this. I tried to disable screen on in whatsapp but had no success. It still goes on every time a get a message there. I disabled popup-message in app-setting with no effect.
I am on xiaomi.eu rom miui 11.04.

Unfortunately there is no option for this in WA. It has just an option for LED but this has no effect on display.
May there be a possibility to revoke some authorisation for this in Miui? I did not find one.
So do you get edge notification for missed calls or do you have the same problem than me there?

I installed Miui 11.1 from xiaomi.eu today. With this version Always-On-Display got some improvements.
In fact I think I do not need any other notification app now.
In AOD I set a custom layout and used a black photo as background and set the switch to show notifications. So I get only an little line with time and date. Besides I set "light display when new notification arrives".
Now, when a message arrives the display switches on. I can see incoming message on lockscreen without touching the phone. Then the display switches off and AOD shows an icon from messaging app (see attached picture). This stays there until I unlock the phone.
This is perfect for me, I do not need any additional apps for this any more.
Only if phone is in a dark room, AOD switches off. That is not perfect because you do not see waiting messages then. But when you then lighten the room, AOD comes back. I can live with that.
