Am I missing something or is Samsung missing something? It would seem to me ONE of the big advantage of the "edge" is to see your notifications when the phone is laying on the table or a flip case is closed. So is there a setting to have the actual edge light up with notifications when the screen is off? I can rub the edge of course and swipe the panels to get to the notification panel but I want it to actually scroll like the news feed panels do. But when the screen is off and me not touching it.

Have you tried Augmented Smartwatch Pro, in conjunction with the Augmented Edge app? Works very well.

What does augmented edge do by itself without the smartwatch app? When I open it is just a black screen with banner on the edge

It shows music track information by itself - anything else requires the Augmented SmartWatch Pro app - opening on the Android phone does nothing.

It only shows a black screen with optional information on the edge part, even with the paid app you mention. This is sort of similar to what you would want/expect, but not really.
First of all it does not work when you close the official Samsung Note Edge cover, because that shuts off the screen. A proper solution needs to be integrated in the OS, either by Samsung or a very capable developer.
Personally I could not get anything useful (to me) on the Edge screen through these apps so I used the Refund option.

Let me ask you this out of my own ignorance. Is the flip cover different than my covering the phone's sensor with a piece of cloth? Or does it have magnetic sensors?

It is magnetic. It is like any normal flipcover but leaves room to show the Edge-part of the screen.
Its purpose is somewhat diminished because closing it turns of the whole screen. You can only get the Edge-bar to show by swiping up-and-down it. I hope someone is able to show the clock or which music is playing when it is closed and charging. An oversight by Samsung if you ask me.
Ok thanks. If the flip cover does disable the screen, then I suppose no app would turn it on... yet. That said, the apps I mentioned work for me. The entire notifications are displayed on the edge.. I don't have the flip cover, but when the screen goes to sleep, an alert would display on the edge just as it would on the status bar.
Any chance this will work on my s6 edge?
I was wondering why text messages weren't lighting up on the edge screen with screen off..using Google Hangouts. I think Samsung has failed miserably on support like this or even dev support from their Samsung store.

Ummmm... I get time on my edge all the time, not just when I swipe on it. I'll do some research and see if I can get it to light up on notifications. Might actually get off me lazy arse and write an app for it

they ain't the same thing. led cover is always on as long as there are unattended notifications yet the edge screen is on only when the notification is triggered.
Plus, the edge screen is only readable from a limited angle and distance due to its size and position located on the device yet the led cover is more practical as long as it is faced up due to the icon and text size used on it for notifications.
anyways I would like to see such accessories for the most expensive samsung mobile phone ever released.

I totally know they aren't the same thing, but unless you even have the case at the right angle you wont be able to tell either... I feel like it would be redundant to have this, along with the edge, and the led notifications themselves. To much of nothing going on. Hey to each his own I guess. I dont see them making it for our phone, but who knows. Maybe someone else has the information to help you.
that is neat !
i need one to impress the chicks ! hahahaha
but it' not worth 99$ on ebay.

Considering the Edge is now the flagship of samsung considering the hw and the price any (subjectively) cool and compatible accessories should (preferably initially) released to the Edge, imo.
As for the "redundant notifications" statements; well then those who think in such way should never buy a smart watch neither coz their purpose is mainly replicating notifications to wrist.
I use the edge paired with a moto 360 and sony sbh52 and enjoy seeing the notifications everywhere.

I actually don't think the smart watch is redundant. You dont have to pull your phone out of your pocket everytime to see the time. They serve there purpose greatly and it is it's own separate entity that you actually dont have to have the phone for. Thats why I like it. I would like a smart watch actually but cant seem to cough up 300 for one. What does annoy me from time to time is all the notifications. I get the same ones on my tablet as my phone and they are both going off. Cant stand it. The led case to me is like wearing 2 smart watches with both of them doing the exact same thing side by side. One just may be displaying it using a different method. Like I said though to each his own. If you want an led cover then get one. If they ever make it.... Judging by the lack of support or accessories for this phone that is the only reason I say probably not.

Using double-negatives isn't helping your already-weak arguments for something that's incredibly low in demand. You're one of a very few people who want an LED cover, which is why it will likely never be produced. Your thinking is upside down if you believe the price of a device should dictate the extent of accessories available.

I agree stay on topic!! I often ask myself, Why do I need a 7" tab and a 5.6" phone? But heck, to each his own, needed or not. If there is a demand, then someone will make one. So keep asking, go to the manufactures website and ask there too. Get friends to ask also (Even if they don't have the phone) Who knows, they might send you a prototype free to test out and see what the reaction is.
I sent samsung an email about this, hopefully they getback to me

There is no way that will work with our phones the way it's showing... Not have out some sort of custom ROM/software. Save your money, even if it's only a few bucks.
I dont see any chips in the pictures on the inside of case. I kno the s-view cases are auppose to have a chip to activate the s-view, i assume its the same with these so check it out before you buy. I got a note 3 sview last year and it was same advertisement saying it would turn on sview but it didn't have the chip so i got the case free for false advertisement.

Whether it works or not, but why not contact the seller for further info. instead of jumped into conclusion.
You can see from the pictures that the front of the case is just a bunch of holes. Some images imply that there is some sort of LED display, but you can see the rear facing camera hole through the holes in the front of the case.
Honestly, even if they make a LED flip case for our phones I'm not sure I'd get one, unless the magnet is stronger than the one for the current flip case. I've watched too many reviews on it and the flap just falls open too easy. I want something that'll stay shut when the phone is held upside-down. Furthermore, I'd like one that could hold 3 cards in it without it affecting how far the flap closes. Just my magical Christmasland wish though, probably won't happen.
went to a best buy.
only thing i saw was the contact thing, which is just a tab.
i tried turning the screen off to see if i can get the edge to display anything, but the BB demo kicks on.

It's not a long list. But..they could easily add new things. And do it via the play store. Be cool if they released an api for it.

rubbing up and down the side reveals a clock and some other screens. There is a way to add a score ticker and stock ticker to it, but the BB demo blocks it.
cant do too much but I do use an app called Sidebar and i use it A LOT so the edge will come in handy for that app. also will be using an app called drupe that recently released. to take advabntage of the edges. i still cant believe i spent 998 on a phone though. im not telling people how much i paid for it. they'll be quick to judge

Watching a video review, that function looks very laggy. Rub rub, the phone thinks for a while, and then the clock appears. I think it's too slow to be useful. They should have added something like Moto Active Screen or MS Glance Screen onto these phones.
You guys have to wait. The edge will become more and more functional with updates.

Hi all,
I Baught the S6 EDGE PLUS in replacement of my Note 3.
With both I have the Official SView Cover (with the small window).
with my Note 3, the notificaiton led is working while the cover is closed; so I made a small hole to have a consistant notification via the colored led.
:crying: With my S6 EGDE PLUS, The led is not lighting at all while the cover is in place (open or close), so I have no way to know if I have a message or any notification, exept by powering on the screen. This is a big regression!!
Is anybody have the same situation?
How to have an other notification method?? (lightning led, flashing screen, flashing edge???)
Thanks in advance.

Try using a 3rd party Notification LED app like Light Flow. May not work if the Samsung is overriding the LED settings on cover closure.
Not sure how useful it would be, but you can also try apps like Dynamic Notifications as an alternative which would put the AMOLED to good use. I never used it so I'm not sure if it can really replace the notification LED.
Thanks for your reply.
I already tried such apps, as well as the both you propose.
Sadly, it do not solve the situation.
It looks like Samsung shut off the led as soon as the sview is put on.

Too bad. I really like my phones with an LED notifier and I use a non-flip case so it works out well. They definitely should have kept some kind of indicator in an official flip cover though!
I agree.
Finaly à remove my sview cover.
That's crazy to pay for a full features phone, and pay for a case to protect it and loose all the interesting ones.

Whenever I use the phone in landscape mode (with the edge site on top) I can't access the status/notification bar, as the edge bar is taking the same space. The only workaround I found is to have the edge side at the bottom, but this is a bit inconvenient as I'm used to holding the phone with the buttons (Home, Back) on the right. Is there another option?

I think you're going to like it. The edge screen is actually very functional and other than this landscape mode issue I consider it a benefit (unlike newer phones where the edge screen is just an aesthetic decision).
The main thing I like about the edge screen is that while navigating (using Waze) I can control my media player, make and accept calls without switching away from navigation screen and without pulling down the notifications panel (which again covers the screen).

Thanks, One of the main things I'm trying to figure out is if the entire screen is off and I get a KIK instant message if the whole screen lights up or if just the edge. And If just the edge lights up if it shows part of the private message or if it just says new message. Or if I need to get the wallet case for it that exposes the edge so the phone detects the magnet in the wallet case and activates the edge. No youtube video shows them things. I've seen it shows up on the edge to answer the phone. Which actually leads me to another questions. I'm gentle on phones but should I ever crack the edge or should the edge ever stop working does it give the option to still answer on the main big screen?
If edge notifications are enabled, the message and appears on the edge screen, but the whole screen lights up.
No idea about the glass. I'm very careful and never has as much as a scratch on the screens of my gorilla-glass-equipped phones. I hope the Note Edge won't be the first.

Ok thanks. Didnt mean to take over your thread. Im going to order the wallet case when i get it. That was one reason i wanted this phone was so it would only notify on edge and use less power. Too bad i need the case for it but its only like an extra $15 thanks again and sorry again
No worries about the off topic discussion. It keeps the thread up and I'm glad to help if I can
Can you post a link to the case? I'm personally using a $2 case from ebay which works fine, but I wouldn't mind paying more if I get better functionality.

Second reply. Something I did just notice though about that case. The volume button is inaccessible unless the case is open so I see my self cutting out a hole in it when I get mine to have access to the volume buttons.

I know this was from a little while ago so you might have already figured it out but with the Samsung flip case there's a actually + and - symbols on the side of the case (directly over the volume buttons), which allow you to use the volume buttons even when the flip case is closed.
Back to the original topic though.. Has anyone found a way to use the notification panel (or possibly an alternative) while in landscape on the Note Edge? I've been wondering the same thing because it drives me nuts not being able to get to the notification panel in landscape!! Thanks
Sent from a ridiculously modified ColecoVision
I put the edge on the bottom... and since I have the flip case, it doubles as a stand, with the edge on the bottom.
Go to Edge options and select "Edge screen on the left". Make sure you have all around orientation enabled. Now you can hold the phone in landscape with Edge screen on the bottom. That way you can use Notification pull down.
In S7 edge and Note 7,Under edge screen options, there is edge feeds option which is useful to see notification on edges when screen is locked. I could not find the same on S8+. Does anyone know how to get this back. This was the best part about the edge screen. Thank you.
