1. I loved when using the phone the phone call would ring on the edge panel, since the recent update it pops up on screen (not the edge), any way to have the phone ringing on the edge only?
2. I've been a long time Nova user, it's been crashing a lot lately. I'm assuming it's because I have the flip cover case and when closed the edge panel lights up causing Nova launcher to crash. Anyone with Nova crashing issue?
What version? I have sprint, and the latest update does not remove edge ringer and NOVA launcher works great for me. I don't have the flip cover car though.
Thanks. I have the TMobile.

Settings scroll all the way to the bottom to call (click it). Then call related popups...
You are awesome! Thanks.
Btw I figured out the problem, under setting accessibility I turned on Voice command causing the call to pop up full screen.
Self explanatory.
If I've missed a call, it shows on my AoD (which is good). But even when I clear the notification and/or go to my call log and clear the counter within the launcher itself, it still shows on the AoD. Only a system restart seems to clear it.
Everything is stock on my S7.

Didn't have that problem myself but mine just doesn't work at all. Could yours have something to do with the dialer?

Quite possible, but not sure how. I use Nova Launcher and everything else is stock.

For what it's worth I'm also using Nova launcher and seeing the same issue on a new GS7.
Drives me nuts!
Doesn't it go away after going on your call logs area, or does it require a reboot?
I cant remember what I did

I've had the same issue using Nova Launcher with a Galaxy S7 Edge. It turns out it's just a conflict between the launcher and TouchWiz itself, if you go to Settings > Applications > Default Applications > Home and change it from Nova back to TouchWiz, give it a chance to load up and everything, tap on the dialler to clear the little number that appears over the icon, wait for that number to disappear then make Nova your default home launcher again and hey presto the little notification on the always-on display will be gone.

Thank you also had the same issue with my Galaxy S7 Edge with Nova Launcher ( Paid Version ). Worked exactly like you said
- Go to Settings -> Applications -> Default
- There select HOME and change it from Nova Launcher to TouchWiz.
- Check your default caller app ( that green one that comes with samsung ), delete all logs for safety
- Go back to Home as described above and change back to Nova Launcher
Thanks for Asauz!!! was driving me nuts this issue
Facebook notifications work however Messenger doesn't? Seems rather odd, anyone managed to get around it?
Is fb messenger set as the default messaging app?
Edge lighting has a list of apps you can enable but Messenger is not in there. Facebook app is in the list but Messenger isn't for some reason. I'm wondering if it's Samsung or Messenger developers who have to tweak something for Messenger to be in that list and have Edge lighting working.

Quick menu > Second page > Edge Lighting icon
Long-press it and there will be a list of apps there.
I have enabled it for all apps and so far it worked one time out of two with Textra, for some reason. All good for the 3 Snapchat notifications I received since I have the phone. Didn't have other notifications to test yet.

I know HOW to set it up, what I'm saying is, it doesn't work. At all.

This worked for me....
After looking this up more I found someone had tried this
Settings > Display > scroll all the way to bottom Keep Screen Turned Off make sure that is off
I did this and it now works for messages all the time but varies for what's app.

It doesn't seem to work when the screen is off for Hangouts either. (Although I think I saw it working when the screen was on.)
Seems that I can only get it to work for my messages only. All else fails...
I got it working. See this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72027923&postcount=14

I use this but the "message preview" is an empty LightFlow icon with no text
Any alternatives?

Same for me, but at least we found why edge lighting was not working, it's a good start. To have the actual app notification message instead of the Light Flow icon, I think the app needs to support natively "wake up screen" for notifications.
I don't know if the Light Flow developers would be able to pass the notification informations (variables?) from the app to Lighting Edge but maybe it'd be a good idea to give them a hint about it. I did send an email earlier today to Messenger developers about it but I doubt they'll receive it or open it, let alone actually do something about it.. but I tried.
I really like the Edge Lighting concept and I hope Samsung will keep developing it and one day soon we'll be able to choose the lighting colors for each app, because right now it's blue, no matter what app.
Got it to work, Kinda!

The full fledged facebook messenger app didn't work for me, so I tried the messenger lite version, and much to my surprise, the pill notifications with edge lighting now work when I receive facebook messages!
The main downside is that quick reply in-line in the notification card is not supported in facebook messenger lite, although I think i can make due without this, because when I used direct reply, the notification badge would never go away until i long-pressed the app and manually cleared it (even if I opened the app and viewed the "unread" message).
Hope this helps! I have managed to get most of my apps working with edge notifications with playing around. Sometimes I have had to go into specific apps notification settings and play around with toggles and they started working all of the sudden. The last one I'm trying to get to work is the stock email app, but it seems like there's a fundamental flaw because even with edge lighting off, no notification card pops down when I receive an email. May switch to gmail again, but I was also reading that people were having trouble with notification cards on that app as well.
I cannot post a URL to the facebook messenger lite app on apk mirror, but if you go to that site and search for the app, just download the most recent version: Version: 7.0.0.9.280 (57368212)
I've just across this thread after trying to get FB messenger to work, like others have already said the edge lighting is a bit random. I have the default messenger app working when screen is on or off, Whatsapp only when screen is on and FB messenger just not at all.
I used to use lightflow before to customise my notification light, didn't want to go down the router of installing it to fix something that should just work.
recently I find out that the calling screen of OTT applications which have calling feature such as facebook messenger, viber... will be overridden by edge lighting screen (only when screen is off) if you enable edge lighting for these apps, because of that facebook tell samsung to remove their messenger app out of list apps that support edge lighting
enable edge lighting when screen off for viber then use another phone to make a viber call to your S8, you will see what I am trying to say
Edge lighting seems useless. I mainly wanted to use it for Facebook Messenger and pretty much every app is in the list except that. I also enabled it for Gmail and Messages but have never actually seen it work.
Hello. I've got solution. This app translates old style notifications to new style notifications so all the apps have edge notifications enabled. You can customize color for any application and turn on/off edge notifications. Very good application, not like the others, which creates fakes color effects around display. It even works on AOD display, which is perfect. Ofc it has few bugs, like if you enable notification and scroll up than back, it shows like it didn't save your settings, but it did. Just set all your apps, turn off app and on and you can see, that it remembered all your settings. I've reported that bug, so I hope it get fixed. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.movisoft.edgelighting&rdid=com.movisoft.edgelighting

I can get it to work on my text app, but not Facebook. How did you get it to work on Facebook? I heard that it won't work on Messenger.
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?
