I have the Verizon version of the Edge with the flip cover and when I receive a text message (for example) the notification doesn't show up with the flip cover closed. Is it supposed to show the notification?

I'll let you know. I just got my flip cover but haven't put it on yet. I'll be back in about 30 min to let you know
Cool - to be more specific, text message notifications don't seem to show up. Meeting reminders, phone calls do show up. I've verified in the Text message settings that "Edge Screen" is checked in the notification options but when that flip cover is covering the display it doesn't seem to work.
Will be curious about your findings.

Text messages showed up for me. I texted myself and hurry up and closed the cover and the entire message scrolled downward on the edge panel
Did you disable Flipboard in settings? Had the same problem till I enabled it.

If you mean having flipboard being the page before the home page then yes I have it enabled. One thing I don't like about this wallet cover is that the cover won't actually sit flat on the face of the phone.

I had same problem. Just take the cover off, and then crimp the fold with your fingers in a pinch 3-4 times. That solved the problem. Now have flip for 3 weeks and it stays flat.

Interestingly I figured out what the problem was. I also have a Moto 360 and when the Android Wear is installed and set to receive notification (which don't work either -- posting another thread) the phone will not show text message notifications on the edge screen with the flip cover shut.
Really kind of dumb. I've proven this out numerous times by uninstalling Android wear, then notifications start working on the edge screen with the cover shut. Install Android Wear, enable it to see notifications -- then the edge screen stops working.
Oh well.

Is there any way to get text message previews to appear on the lockscreen on an Edge? This is one feature that I miss from my Galaxy Note 2.
Also what does the Edge screen text preview setting in the Notifications section of the Messaging app actually do as I have it on but can't see any difference?

It puts a preview of incoming text messages on the Edge screen.

A preview in what way? Is it the notification that briefly appears that shows the message?

It does the same thing as the status bar.
When a message comes in mines pop up in orange and then says the phone who sent it and it displays the message.
IF the message is long it will flash multiple lines then disappear.
I do wish we could change the time out time since it disappears very fast.
Wonder if anyone knows how to make the edge screen wake up when a notification or message is received?
I hear a sound but the screen doesn't wake.

That would be cool too. We need some devs to get this device or all take a crash course

There's an app in the Play Store called Screen Notifications that works. It lights the whole screen though, unless you have the Samsung flip cover, then it only lights the edge screen.
i just recently got this phone and and i love the flip case but i would love to know how to change the wallpaper that appears with the flip case.
Flipcase wallpaper
With the flipcase closed, press on the screen twice to change pic. Unfortunately there are only the 5 pics that came with the phone to choose from.
Is there any way to add new pictures?

According to the sticker on the flip case, you either swipe up or down in the window to change the background image. For me, oddly enough, it only works if I swipe down. Swiping up does nothing.
Double tapping doesn't work if you enabled the double-tap to sleep functionality.

I've looked into it and found out a way to add new pictures. I've made a guide here that you can follow.
Hello.
I have a simple question, is there any way to control Spotify with the flip cover closed. I mean, to get access to the controls (next, previous song, start/stop) from the flip cover window.
If this is possible, maybe there's a eway to change the flip cover background by syncing with the album art.
Thank you.
where can I get a replacement flip cover for my Blu Pure XL that turns the phone on and off? Mine is starting to crack and BLU is no help at all
When I first started getting messages I was disappointed because these functions were missing from the pop-up notification. It basically just a short preview of the text and no way to reply or mark as read. Then I got the day 1 update and it fixed that. I love having this feature but now it is gone again! I don't think it's a setting in the messages app because it does the same thing for Line messenger too! Please help!
If you go into your settings and go to display and then to edge screen and turn off edge lighting and then it will come back.

That did it! Thanks! I kept the edge lighting on only when the phone is off now.
I am having a related issue where the options to mark as read or reply are available on some messages and not others? Any idea why?
Just got Oreo, and it appears there's no way to see notification text or interact with notifications using the S View Cover anymore. I can't dial or take pictures anymore either - anyone know of a fix? This is especially annoying considering that I just got a new cover as my old one was worn out. Dial/photos wasn't that critical, but seeing notification texts so that I could read incoming emails without opening the cover was.
I have the problem as flinx1, including that the clock is displayed on two lines instead of one!! Terribly annoying and amateur behavior from samsung developer.
Does anyone know have to fix this?
Disappointed with same issues--no phone or camera from S View window, and can't preview notifications.
Change clock display for S View window in Settings, Advanced features, Accessories, Clock and FaceWidgets.
My mum bought a Flip 4 and she loves it, but is not getting notifications when it is folded. I have tried all settings including individual notifications, ensuring it's not on DND, ensuring notifications can wake up the phone. It is also one of those intermittent problems, in that it doesn't work most of the time but occasionally will work, like when someone rings her doorbell (Ring app). I've even tried changing some of the apps like changing from the Samsung SMS app to Textra.
Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Our next step is to factory reset, but I want to check if this is a known issue.
Thanks
Not normal. It should show notification, and you can even see it when you swipe right in the cover screen.
The notifications show on the screen but no notification sound. Thanks for the info.

Agreed. Not normal. I had a case (Samsung even) that was turning my sound off. If she's using a case, you might try without it. It's a longshot, but took me a while to figure it out on mine. When properly functioning sounds should work open or closed.

by default there should be sound, unless you set that particular notification sound as silent, or the audio file is missing.
