I have edge lighting setup and it works with WhatsApp but not with any of the other apps its setup to work with. I have "Show Edge Lighting" set to always and I have the settings for all apps in question (GMail, Google Messages, MS Authenticator) set to not optimized in "Optimize Battery Usage". I am running Edge Lighting plus with custom colours set for each app in the settings. I also have the latest Android 10 installed and fully patched on an S20+.
Could Samsung please address this issue because its one that a lot of people persistently complain about and is essential to phone usage. What use is a communications device which is unable to notify you of an inbound message? It's an expensive device and I am hard-pressed to say I won't be buying another Samsung device in the future.
Thanks, yes all these setting are toggled and the applications are able to receive notifications. Notification banners and icons do appear on the lock screen and AOD for all the applications in question yet the edge lighting does not work for any of them.
Notifications of communications such as an SMS or email not appearing or falling to trigger a notification mechanism is a major failure. The device should be able to get my attention, either by powering on the display to show the notification banner or by displaying the edge lighting. I should be able to leave the phone in silent and not need to have the vibrate function enabled for the device to try and get my attention.
As a consumer, your purchasing power is how you put your faith behind a product and company. It's infantile to behave like a fan boy.
If you are facing issues with the particular app then please check with the below steps. Open Settings >> Display >> Edge Screen >> Edge Lighting(Toggled on) >> Show Edge lighting >> choose application(select app and toggle on for which application you want edge lighting)
Note: Some notifications may not display as the edge lighting depending on notification types.
Thanks, yes these settings are enabled. For instance, Google GMail displays notification banners on the lock screen, in the notification drawer and the icon appears on the AOD - Edge Lighting does not trigger on an inbound email.
Thanks, but this app is unverified by Google and untrust worthy. I shouldn't need to install a **bleep** to get a stock Samsung Android 10 feature to work.
