My Edge's screen will turn on when I get text messages but when I get emails, it just stays black. I'm using the stock email app and I just can't see why it stays off!
Am I missing something obvious - my wife's S5 turns on for both with no problems at all.
Can anyone help please?

Hello everyone, after updating my at&t note edge to lollipop i have one issue and one concern...
The issue im having is that when i answer a call using the edge screen, im not able to put it on speaker mode nor on mute, how can i fix this?
And the concern i have is using the whatsapp app... for some reason i get a notification when my screen is on (when im using my phone), and i can dismiss it and everything... i looked into the whatsapp settings but notifications on the screen are all disabled. im thinking its a new setting on lollipop but cant find it. Can anybody tell me the fix?
EDIT: I also saw facebook messenger doing this
I had the same issue

I had the same issue. Although after the update my husband can just tap the icons as usual, the update forces me to to press/hold it and slide up (to turn on) and down (to turn off)...DUMB, I know...but that's the way it goes. I hate it so much I bought a new note edge and have vowed not to turn on wifi to prevent the automatic-forced-down-your-throat-update to lollipoop---no typo; the update is POOP!
Hope this helps you!
So every time I get a new text message the screen turns on even though I turned it off in the message settings. Is their something else I need to turn off?
Oops, I meant to put this in the S6 edge Q&A, not sure if it makes a difference though.
I missed a phone call today because of the lag time (to answer) and I find the Edge variant has actual lag compared to the Note 4... I'd love to turn off the edge panel if possible. Can I?
I want my original Note 4 back...
No you cant turn it off
And check what other apps you have running.
I have no lag when calls or messages come in on the edge screen.
You can go into the call settings > pop up.
And turn off incoming calls on the edge tho.

Yea no lag here either.
Mine doesnt lag. Have u enabled developer options and scaled down the animations. U can also turn off the useless s voice via home button setting to help lag out too

People originally bought the Edge for the edge feature, but it really gets in the way and uses up screen space. If you bought it, you are stuck with it unfortunately.
I searched youtube high and low. But no one actually really shows how the edge works for things like notifications. The main things I want to know is how it looks or acts or works when someone sends a text message. Or in my case more importantly a KIK message. My partner and I use KIK to communicate all the time instead of text messaging. Does it pop up on the edge? Or does it only show at the normal top of the phone needing the whole screen turned on? If it shows up on the edge does it just say new kik message? Or does it show the message from the person?

I have a note edge G version.
To answer your questions YES , you get the message itself on the edge screen because of which i actually disabled the Heads Up display. If i get a message in Whatsapp and say i am in the homescreen, the senders name and the message first few lines only, is shown. This works on most apps but I have noticed that only the first few lines are shown and then a series of periods..
To get message on the edge screen while the phone is locked, you can search RuggedAutoHunter here in the forum. He has developed an app that can show you messages even if the phone is not unlocked. Pretty neat.
Hope it helps.

Thanks, And I clicked the thanks button lol. I'll search that. Is there a way to turn off showing the first few lines of the message? Some times I have to set my phone down in public at a job site and wouldn't want someone walking by while my partner sends me a sensitive message and seeing what she says. I mean I'd still like to see new kik message received or new text message received etc on the edge while the screen is off. But don't want private information to be seen by anyone and everyone lol. Thanks again

That's a question you have to ask RuggedAutoHunter because that would only apply when you have the screen off/phone locked.
hello,
i was using an ios phone before buying this samsung and almost all the apps when delivering a notification were opening the screen and showing the notification. for example xxx liked your photo, or xxx send u a msg (with content of a msg fm facebook messenger)
however on ms j7 pro sm-j730f never shows anything! only whatsapp is able to turn the screen on with huge ugly balloon showing the msg. for all the other apps it just make sound but nothing happens on the screen. you always have to press the bottom button all the time to check what came. this is really disturbing. in my office desk i always put my phone close to me and when screen opens i had been checking whats happening.
is it a bug or is there a setting to fix this?
ps: pls donot recommend AOD. since its nto the same thing
thx!
