Is there a way to view notifications on the edge screen alone? Currently if I wake the edge screen only I can see a notification that I have a text message or an email, however, if i click on it, the entire screen wakes up and I need to go into the actual app to see my messages. Is there a way to click on the text message icon and then have it scroll the new message alone the edge screen ticker-style?
It seems to defeat the purpose of having a standalone edge screen if i can only see that I have a message, but need to turn the phone on to read it.
I am just looking for similar functionality to the notification drop down where you can pull the window down see you have a text and it shows from who and the contents of the text. I checked through all of the options and don't think its available, but it seems like a no brainer for development.

That's definitely not a current feature. I wouldn't be surprised if someone added that in the future though. All I can say is Edge + root/xposed. Imagine the possibilities.

Any information you can provide me is appreciated as well! This is certainly a feature I'm interested in. I like what the edge screen has provided so far, but I can't help but think about the possibilities.
What is the correct way to wake just the edge screen?
I swipe up and down at the edge but it does not work all the time.

Rub it like a genie lamp. Then make a wish lol.
But really rub it like a genie lamp and it will wake up.
I tried the slow just up and down but that didn't work. But when you rub it like that I haven't had any problems.
The development for this edge screen looks awesome. Can't wait to test it out.
I did notice one thing if you are looking to see your texts on the edge screen. If you wake the edge screen and don't scroll through other edge panels and leave it on the clock it will start to scroll ticker style with any notifications you have including missed text messages.
Is there a way to add more sports to the Yahoo Sports screen?
If anyone is having issues with the timeout of the notification panel, I might have a solution.
On my Exnyos model the notification panel timeout was perfect, as in it would stay on for as long as a notification was running until I recently installed some apk's from the American model (T-Mobile) in my case, it messed up the timeout of the notification panel, it would turn off before I could even read anything.
Last night I did a factory reset of my phone and reinstalled most Edge screen related apk's from Tmob rom again apart from one. It was the CatchMe apk. This apk has the settings for the notification panel. Now notifications timeout seems fine again.
I have attached it here for anyone wanting to give it a try. You don't need root or anything.
Obviously install at your own on risk.
Speaking of the Edge Panel notifications, is it my imagination or are there less notifications buttons in the notification panel customization screen.
Case in point...
Settings-->Notification panel
On the Note 4 (image on the left) compared to the Note Edge (image on the right)
About the same buttons.

But with the Note 4 you can scroll down and see way more buttons. On the note Edge there are no more buttons.

Yea same as the note 3. I believe the note edge slim down everything.
I went into the settings and there is alot more things you can turn on and off there.
So I bet they just did that to cut down on what is in the toggle window.
I know a guy rooted his note and added the extra toggles.
Imo it's find how it is, only the needed stuff is there and the rest is easy to find.
Good to know. Thanks
is there option any where you can have just the edge screen wake up and show notifications when you receive like gmail or a text message ?

I seem to recall the original ad/reveal photos making the edge panel look as if there was no distinction from main screen to edge. But in its oem configuration the background shading makes it distinctively separate. I have spent two weeks looking now and cant find a setting to adjust it. Does anyone know if there is a way to make the edge panel transparent to better blend in with the home screen and reduce or eliminate the background shading (at least on panels without a purposeful background, I get the notifications background is tied into the weather and others use color coded backgrounds on purpose)? Or am I the only one wanting the edge to more resemble the transparent look?
If not I would kindly request any developer monitoring this thread to consider that in any edge optimization apps they develop. And then I also +1 the other requests for both the "edge alert" scrolling notifications and sports ticker with more than three sport options!
I absolutely LOVE this phone but still kind of think for such a big leap in form that Samsung should have given the edge more punch in features.

Yea I hear you.
If you customize the express me it won't be transparent, but if you just do text it will be.
I don't think there is settings for it.
And yea it would make sense if the short cut panels has clear background vs the dark blue one. But I am willing to beat there will be more panels with transparent backgrounds in the furture. I belive it's just in the theming.

CNN just released a Breaking News ticker for the edge panel. Just FYI. Haven't tested it yet but thought I'd spread the word.

SlideOver is part of me and my brother's Sliding Messaging Pro project. This is only part of what it can do within our app, but we decided to release this part for free so that users can use this incredible feature without being confined to Sliding Messaging Pro!
This app is meant to be used alongside your messaging app of choice, whether that is the stock app, Go SMS, Handsent, Textra, or any of the other 3rd party messaging apps available on the Play Store. It is meant to extend upon that apps functionality and give you extra features that aren't present in most/any apps.
Features:
- An always on "bubble" to access your latest messages from anywhere (without even leaving your current app!)
- Quickly reply to a new message with the Quick Peek option, brought up by a simple tap on the SlideOver bubble
- Easily move and manage the SlideOver bubble with a long press to drag option and a double click to change the sliver width option.
- The SlideOver bubble will show contact pictures and some of the message with a very cool animation on new SMS messages
- Option to "ping" the SlideOver bubble when the user unlocks the device and there is an unread message.
- Reply without pausing your YouTube and most other video services and games (something that usual quick reply boxes could never do!)
- TONS of customization options
- and lots of other stuff
Usage:
1.) Download SlideOver Messaging
2.) Open the main app to view the settings page and apply any of the settings you think fit!
3.) That's it! Now just wait for a new message to come though and view it via the SlideOver bubble and reply quickly to conversations via the quick peek dialog!
Notes:
Some 3rd party messaging apps block the text message receivers that I use to display the messages to the SlideOver bubble. It is a very easy workaround though luckily, simply uninstall and then re-install your 3rd party messaging app (such as Go SMS) and the messages will come up in both your notification tray (through the 3rd party app) and the SlideOver bubble (through my app).
Very simple fix
If you like what we have done here, support us through a purchase of Sliding Messaging Pro! As I said, that app takes the functionality of SlideOver to a whole new level with an awesome pop-up reply dialog and some other neat customization and features!
Hope you enjoy!

It is because android is killing the service as you run out of memory, you can check the foreground service option and that will put a persistent notification that will stop it from killing the service.
Restarting your phone will also clear up memory if you really don't want to use the persistent notification option.

Android has to move around and allocate memory for different processes. Believe me, that is the problem. That is how services work in android, it gets killed to make room for other apps service. That is the problem, android kills background tasks when it thinks the system doesn't need them, even if they are being used. That is the point of turning it into a foreground service.
I realize that the persistent notification causes an icon in the notification drawer because that is how the task is turned foreground and tells android to keep it working all the time.
I lol'd at the discussion above. ANYWAYS...
Nice looking app mate Will give it a spin sometime

I have the same issue; nothing to do with memory or the service getting killed.
For some reason it keeps resizing the the circle to zero. Going into settings and resizing it back fixes it.
Similar issue with the placement of the box itself on the screen. If I drag it to a new location it will revert back to the top of the screen after a while.
Stock vzw Nexus.
Using Verizon HTC One.
When an incoming text arrives, clicking the contact bubble doesn't show the conversation like in the example photos. it's just blank. If I try to send a response anyway, the app crashes.
I really want this to work, because this is exactly what I'm looking for in a texting app. something that only handle the quick response, and not an entire replacement for the phone's messaging app. I have Ninja SMS installed as well, but I disabled that app before installing this one, because I expected the two not to play nicely. I will try again with Ninja SMS completely removed, and a reboot. in the mean time, I've sent a crash report from the phone.
EDIT: Removed Ninja SMS, rebooted. no resolution. At that point, the standard messaging also had notifications turned off, so I thought maybe by having an unread notification for a text, the app would pick up on it, but that didn't work either. I'm still getting a blank black SMS box, only the stock messaging app installed.
No rating for now, but once it works, it's a 5-star for sure!

Have you tried disabling the Double tap action, which allows for resizing the bubble? When I turn it on, on S2, it seems to resize to between 0-4% each time if I just quick double tap. I have this turned off anyway, but just tested after seeing your issue.

OK, it looks like it isn't able to read from your messaging database correctly... I will look into it after the weekend and see what I can do to fix it

Double tapping changes the sliver width if that is what you mean?
And I don't save the location of the message box, whenever the service restarts it will revert back to the top of the screen, this was by design

Did you read my replys to them? It is most likely because you are double tapping to change the sliver width and if you don't drag out, it will disappear. The link at the top of the setting menu is a tutorial video that demonstrates this functionality

It is because I use a staic size down the screen instead of a percent. It was a feature that was requested with it in sliding messaging so that the bubble is gone when watching YouTube videos and such things. Just move the bubble up a little and it will be seen in landscape.
And yeah I should probably get the percent thing changed haha forgot about that one!
I like having mine towards the bottom where my thumb can reach I can suffer for now. lol.I odn't use landscape all that often
Is it possible to have a percent from top instead of units from top?

Of course it is possible, but I just don't think I want it that way, cause I can't hide it when certain apps or something like YouTube is up, and that us when it gets distracting and annoying, so I want the user to know it isn't going to adjust on landscape so if they want to see it, they will have to put it in the upper area. We will see though, I may make an option to use percent in landscape instead, don't know yet
I noticed the app got an update, but the update didn't fix my problem still can't read any messages coming thru, or reply to them.
It's interesting because the slider circle shows the contact photo and the message, but the box when I click the circle can't read the stuff. it's DEFINITELY finding the text at first, then not knowing what to do with it. what a mystery!

You are correct, the changelog didnt say it was fixed, and it hasn't been. i was out of town all weekend and that update changed a total of 2 lines of code. just added a function in there for a request from someone else.
The problem is the same one that many startup texting apps have on android, since there is no documentation, some OEM's do things with sms differently. HTC saves their messages differently than others, including google, so i can't read them in from the database. the reason that they show up on the bubble when it is incoming is because i pull that information from the broadcast that is sent and it is very easy to manage.
I know how to fix it, but it will take some time, and that is a luxury that i don't have much of right now, I am a college student and am very busy with my classes. So no, it hasn't been fixed yet, but i know how from sliding messaging. I will get around to it as soon as i can.
EDIT: there ya go, did it this morning. You will have to override stock, it is the second to last option under the settings menu.
I didn't mean to sound impatient. I saw by the changelog that it wasn't fixed. it was just funny for me because I saw the update and thought "oh yay!" then tried it again and said "oh damn."
thanks so much! I'l try it right away
EDIT: I found the problem. If I uncheck Quick Peek: Unread Only, then everything is fixed, even without checking the stock override option.

its ok now thanks
Hi, i've recently aquired the Galaxy S7 and right now i'm really happy with it. The question is about how the notifications appears on the lockscreen or the notification panel. Somehow the quick buttons of a notification are visible more to the right and not well centered i think. That's the little problem, more esthetic than other thing but i want to know if it happens to all or is it just me.
PS: I attach screenshots with the version of Android, screen adjustments and the notification itself.
Thanks in advance.

Well, it actually depends on the app since not all of the notifications have those controls. So it's not a problem, because everyone has those controls to the right. But if you want to change those controls you must install a custom rom, otherwise there is not much you can do about it.
Are you talking about the clickable notification banners that appear in both the notification drop-down and on the lock screen? From your screenshots they don't appear to be more toward the right than the left to me. The text appears to the right of the avatar/app icon block, but that's normal in order to make room for the images. Or maybe I'm missing your point?
EDIT:
If you're talking about the RESPONDER and RETWITTER button links, they look very centered under the text body of the banner notification message. Again, the text body is positioned to the right to account for the image area on the left.

Sorry if my point doesn't understend very well. Yes, what a mean is about the RESPONDER and RETWITTER buttons and so the heart button, it has to say ME GUSTA or something like that. With my other smartphone (XPERIA Z1) this not happened. So this is why im consulting this, if it's something normal of GALAXY S7 or app related.

I think your screenshot shows them in the normal position. They are right-aligned within the banner rectangle and fairly well centered under the text block above them. You have to realize those links that you call buttons are themselves additional text, so will appear appended within the text block area which is right-aligned to allow for the image area on the left.
Has there ever been a tweak or mod where you can have your notification window come from the bottom instead of top? Seems it would be a great feature with the additional screen size.

Nova launcher can do that with gestures. Or there's a setting in the phone to swipe down on the fingerprint sensor to pull the notification panel down or back up.
What I was meaning is kinda like the control center on the iphone when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Just totally move the notification screen to the bottom of the screen once you swipe up.
The furthest you're going to reach your finger is to swipe down from the top for the notification window so why not put it at the bottom being that it's something being used a lot through out the day.
I will say samsung has done a lot for reachability just that one little thing I think would make a huge deal.

Sorry, looks like that feature hasn't been around since ICS.
I'm curious if it's even possible with a custom rom. I always questioned this too. When I had the iPhone 4, I hated switching to iOS 6, but the swipe up from the bottom to access your quick settings was a stroke of genius and got me to actually enjoy it even more after jailbreaking it because you could tweak the odd cosmetics.
iPhone was able to do it through a software update. Why can't Android? What's the limitation and what makes it so limited that no one has been able to accomplish this? Genuine question and interest.
Galaxy S8+ is a phenomenal phone that I think will take quite a bit to outdo it, but the biggest problem with having massive screens is reaching those quick settings. Even with the edge bar, it's still not the same. And the swipe gesture with the fingerprint scanner is neat but that doesn't get you the quick settings a person needs with one hand as well as accessing the notifications.
It would very nice to have that reversed. I have big hands and it's still a pain to always have to use the phone with two hands for those quick things people like to do. Like adjusting brightness, muting, flashlight, Bluetooth etc.
Maybe one day they'll realize people still hold their phones with one hand every now and again and try to tailor that there notification panel accordingly :silly:

It is possible!
It can be done even with an app.
but it can be confusing because of Navigation Buttons at the bottom.
and in this way using this on custom rom can be better >> set nav bars little bit higher and then notification bar below that.......
I think after this idea you will see lots of mods and apps
If I decide to do it I will inform you
I always wanted that swipe down for quick access to controls in ios on Android. Why haven't they implemented that yet? Took them many years to have a "night mode" on Android.

Have never really understood the ergonomics of it. Bottom Status Bar should at least be an Xposed Module!

Power Shade is the most advanced notifications panel customizer. It provides you the options to make your quick settings the way you want. Designed to seamlessly change themes to enlighten your mood and brighten your day. You get the latest modern features on any Android device.
It even has the Media player from Android 11 and it supports all music player apps.
Let me know about your experience below.
Gave it a try and liked it a lot. But one thing stops me from buying and keep using it: on my Samsung Galaxy S9 it uses only half of the screen hight when pulling down. Intended or a bug?
Love the app and bought it right away after testing it for a couple of hour.
I love how I can reply messages frombthe lockscreen without unlocking the phone.
Now, is it possible to make it not going to home screen everytime opening the shade from inside and app?
I'm using note 10+ with one ui 2.1. Everything else is working fine.

Gave it a try and liked it a lot. But one thing stops me from buying and keep using it: on my Samsung Galaxy S9 it uses only half of the screen hight when pulling down. Intended or a bug?

Love the app and bought it right away after testing it for a couple of hour.
I love how I can reply messages frombthe lockscreen without unlocking the phone.
Now, is it possible to make it not going to home screen everytime opening the shade from inside and app?

Hi. Are you using an Edge Trigger? If so, try to swipe downwards on it, instead of left/ right.

Nope, i'm using one hand operation+ from samsung for back gesture and opening the shade. It can open the shade no problem, no glitch, but everytime the shade open, the app i'm currently on was stopped and goes to home screen. The shade is still open, only the app behind it gets closed and goes to home screen.
Update:
Tried your suggestion to use edge trigger, it works. It can open the shade without closing the app underneath it.
So I guess I have to adjusting edge trigger and one hand operation+ for now.
Looks Great! Real smooth and Beautiful
One problem though, on my Mi note 10 (A10)
When I click on any notification to enter it - nothing happens.
Any idea why? I think I gave it all the permissions asked.

Check again, mine have Mi Note 10 and everything is working
Incredible app, purchased it. Although 1 issue I have is when I swipe down on home screen to pull down, it pulls down the stock one, not power shade, is it possible to change this and I've just missed the option some where?,
I am receiving system notification on lock screen. Are there any custom notification for the lock screen as well?

There is an option to always overlay the stock one in Extras>Override system panel.
On my samsung note 10+ with one ui 2.1 it's working without turning on the override system panel after restarting the phone.

Whatsapp notification always falls under the silent notification section. Is it a bug?
On the stock one it isn't.

Try to grant the "display pop-up in background" permission for the app which you want to open.

Does that get solved if you disable the Power Shade Headsup feature?

I'm not using power shade headsup.
Nevermind, the message moved into the silent notification section after i've replied it and once a new message came in it is out from the silent notification section.
All good now. Everything is working as intended.

Still nothing. The problem is with EVERY app's notifation. it just doesn't open it from power shade
Did I miss some permission ?
Any ideas? I'm using Gboard and in notifications when I reply to a Whatsapp message, one press of space bar makes two spaces.
When I use a tile from a third party app, it doesn't change status in the settings display, though it does actually do the action of on/off (just remains never illuminated). And on my phone (sony) there is a weird bug, which is that if you use the shade to switch between light and dark, the navbar buttons may not change color properly. Everything works fine with stock or changing in settings.
Great App! I like it since my phone's manufacturer doesn't bother to implement accent color. This app give me a chance to customize my quick settings tiles. One issue is that even I have enabled Override system panel, the swipe down gesture from my stock launcher is not perfectly overrided. I am using ASUS ROG Phone II with stock launcher.
Another problem is that if I enable Brightness slider in header, it no longer shows when expanded the notifications. Can't I have it in both situations?

Yes, you need to grant that permission to the app which you want to open from notifications, not only to Power Shade.
Hi,
I have an annoying problem: the display standby (hour with blurring background) covers notifications randomly.
e.g.: I receive a notification, the display turns on (i've this option enabled), I see the notification for a while, then the display goes to standby and I can't read anymore (see the attached photo).
Is it a privacy option? I've searched in all settings and I can't find anything to solve it
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It's a pain for me on covering any app! I would like to turn it off....
ok, after more tests I can say that it's definitely a privacy option: every time I rotate the wrist anticlockwise (watch is in my left arm), display goes to standby covering the notification.
There is no option to disable it, I checked every single menu...
The only way to reduce the pain is by activating "display on every wrist rotation" option, so with a wrist movement the display uncovers the notification
Any other ideas?
Come on, no other goes crazy about this thing?
Even after the last update, XXU1DUJA, no change at all: I receive a notification, I see the icon (not the message) of the app notificated, then blurred display and finally it goes off.
How can I read the notification without tap the display? Maybe it's because, due to Samsung Pay, I have lockscreen enabled (only for paments)?
EDIT: "show with details" under notification settings was off, now I see the message. but the blurred screen is still here....

Turn on 'Raise Wrist to Wake' if you don't want to touch the display. Or, turn off AOD if you don't want that clock over your blurred notification. *Edit*: I see one commenter on Reddit suggested that updating the Messages app solves this - can't hurt to try that.

Yes, you may include me. At first it didn't bother me, now it is just plain annoying. I have AOD on and wouldn't expect such nonsense. I get a message, I look at the watch, I am reading the screen, and bam, it puts that damn thing overtop. There is some sort of delay before it is displayed, but I can't quite determine how long or under what circumstances.
Why there is no option to turn that stupid digital clock overlay with blur thing OFF is a mystery to me. It seems to do this randomly on many screens- looking at notifications the most, but it is not restricted to that. I don't have Samsung or any other "Pay" on, I don't use a lockscreen on the watch.

Have you tried turning off 'Hide Information' under the Security > Lock settings? And updating the Messages app (from Google Play on the watch)?

Right when I went into Wear app on the phone, there was message to update "Galaxy Wearable" 102.3MB. So I went ahead and did that, first. Then checked the Google Play app on phone, went into updates. There are no updates for any app. I checked installed apps, I have nothing named "Messages" installed. Checked Play on watch. Again, nothing to update and no app named "Messages" installed. I then checked security settings on watch, there is only one option called "lock" which is not on. There are no options except "Type" which is set to "none."
So, essentially, I can't do either of your suggestions... they don't appear to be valid on my watch/setup.

That's weird - right underneath 'Type', mine shows 'Hide Information.' It's in the manual too (page 70): https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/...R89X_R88X_R87X_R86X_EN_UM_071621_FINAL_AC.pdf *Edit*: And if you don't have a Messages app, what do you use for messages?

I can't explain why my options are different than what you describe or what is in that PDF (nice link to the manual, though). But there is nothing that says "hide information." Maybe it is tied to some other option you have turned on that I don't have on?
For text messages, I use Textra on my phone. I never installed any text or message-related app on the watch. It just works with texting. When I get a text message, it shows me their icon and/or the message, I can click on it and reply or mark it as "read" so I don't get repeat reminders. I can also compose a new text message by clicking on a contact on the watch contact tile. If I click on the "Messages" icon in the apps drawer, it says "To To use samsung messages, you need to make it the default messaging app on your phone" with a yes/no option (of course I am not going to say yes). By the way, while I was in the middle of transcribing that message, the damn digital clock blur overlay covered the display and I had to touch the screen so I could finish reading it.
When I go into Play on the phone and look at Textra, there is no indication that it had installed anything on the watch or that it has a WearOS component. So I don't know what I am using when interacting with text messages on the watch. Perhaps it is just something built-into WearOS?

Ah, maybe that's it - it shows up because I have a PIN set, whereas if I understand correctly, you don't have any lock set (does that mean you can't use Samsung pay on the watch?). As for messages, I do use Samsung Messages. Your Textra message notifications clearly show up on the watch, even without an installed app - but then, doesn't that mean you can't compose a message from the watch?

I have no lock screen and no PIN set. Also have no interest in "Pay", so I don't know if that would work or not.
As I mentioned above: "I can also compose a new text message by clicking on a contact on the watch contact tile."
In any case, my experience shows that this digital clock blur overlay thing is not related to "Messages" or lock screens. It seems to be inherent to all use cases.
OK, I feel pretty stupid now. The digital clock blur overlay thing is what appears when the screen "times out" and it is controlled under Settings> Display> Screen Timeout. Mine was set to 15 seconds. So even with AOD on, it still would do the blur thing in 15 seconds. I changed it to 30 seconds and now it does the blur thing in 30 seconds, instead.
Silly me, thinking that with AOD on, there wouldn't be a "screen timeout."
The AOD is not truly "Always On", it is just "ambient mode". If you turn AOD on, and the app doesn't support ambient mode, then after screen timeout or rotate the wrist, screen will be blurred and switch to watch face finally. Only if the app itself support ambient mode and AOD is on, that is truly "Always On". It is not privacy about, but a power save policy.

Thanks! Now we have a better understanding of the problem.
But I have very few apps installed and the blur screen happens even after a notification: e.g. whatsapp or telegram. So the problem is in an hypothetical "notification" system app that doesn't support ambient mode. Not the best for a system app...
1) I feel GW4 vibration: a notification is arrived 2) I rotate the wrist to read the display 3) if I rotate out a little my wrist, display goes blur 4) If I rotate again the wrist in my direction, display returns readable
I keep thinking it's a privacy setting: after rotating the wrist out (point 3 in the example), I can't see the display and blurring it prevents other people to see my notification
My settings: always on display: enabled; screen timeout 30 sec (even with 15, same behaviour); display on when rotating wrist: enabled; display on when a notification arrives: enabled.
