I only received the edge yesterday, and I can remember that while I was setting things up, notifications were showing up in the edge screen. However, since then, I only get notification icons appear in the top notification panel, and not in the edge screen. I have set up the edge notification panel set up correctly, and selected all apps.
Incidentally I have my android wear watch connected. Should this make a difference?
I had this happen to me before. I rebooted my phone and everything was fine afterwards.

Yeah.. I hate to say it but I had the same exact problem and it turned out to be the Android Wear. If you uninstall Android Wear, notifications start working on the edge screen again.

Notifications work fine for me with Android wear running. But I would make sure "mute connected phone" is unchecked within the Android wear settings.
Thanks for both the replies. Weird thing is the notifications started working again this morning - bizarre.
Would be good if there was more customisation of the edge panel possible.

Keep wishing. We're all in the same boat about wanting more edge customization.

True true, such a shame for samsung to neglect it when it has so much more potential. Wonder if there will be an Note Edge 2? And not like the S6 variety hopefully.

As much as we all dream or hope..but we have to accept the reality that samsung is using edge owners as guinea pigs to test out the market...which lead them to release s6 edge. The note edge is only a "test" product for samsung. Dont think they will improve any further not to mention even updating to 5.1 ....guess tough luck for us edge owners..

Well I'm used to being a Samsung guinea pig after owning the galaxy camera, s4 zoom, galaxy nx and now the edge.
To be honest I think that the edge will get lollipop eventually, but I'm not that fussed to be honest. I bought the Edge on what it can do now, and still think it offers a lot more than the note 4. Plus reports are that lollipop for the note 4 has bugs a plenty...

Well we have loly already...in fact im already running it..but it seem they wont update them to 5.1. Personally i have no problem since my edge is already fast and smooth. But still ...im sure if u own a device..especially something kinda top of the range and pricey..and still only released less than a year...suddenly you learn the manufacturer just dump us..and not plan updating..im sure we will be very pissed.

5.0 is a prequsite to 5.1 and will come to the Sprint variant via ota but not until Q4 or later depending on delays. 5.1 (Sprint variant) updates the radio/modem, connectivity issues.
I can't speak for Verizon/at&t/T-Mobile as each carrier sends out their own ota updates NOT Samsung so its not Samsung's fault you don't have lollipop that is your wireless carriers fault so blame them. Its completely up to your wireless carrier to release the update or not...some carriers do more testing than others some add more bloatware. Basically your wireless carrier gets the update and they add their insignia, bloatware, carrier apps, restrict tethering, add locked boot loader, so on and so forth.
If your an at&t customer expect them to keep locking it down so its harder to root...they love their locked bootloaders.
Sprint & T-Mobile tend to have the least amount of bloatware/changes hence why its released quicker.
I have a similar issue. I installed Augmented SmartWatch Pro for some of the features it could add to the Edge. As a result, it shut off all of the notifications on the Edge (LED, Briefing bar, top of phone, etc) , but that was to be expected as Augmented is supposed to be the one-stop for notifications..
Anyway, the app was a bit clunky so I uninstalled it and only some of the notifications came back. The LED notification light - dead. The briefing edge bar - only shows Google mail notifications, no txt notifications and no IMAP company email notifications. I've gone into settings for the phone and ensured LED notify is checked, as well as inside of edge settings I've triple checked that the information stream is on and the notifications I want are selected. I also rebooted the phone, of course. While I know some ppl don't even use these aspects as a matter of preference, I really miss the LED (old Blackberry habits die hard) and the briefing notifications summary was handier to me than the top of the phone icons.
My suspicion is that the Augmented had a dirty uninstall where it didn't revert some of the settings inside the OS back to default, and those settings I can't get to via the GUI. Does anyone know some root commands that I could check or am I just going to have to go back to factory default/wipe the phone? I'm somewhat ok with doing that as I only got the device on Wednesday.
OK,so I believe I have everything setup right. Even have trusted voice. Hey galaxy works with screen off but OK google does not. It just does nothing unless screen is on. On another note, my wife's note 4 works fine but says it can't unlock the screen for texts and such. Anyway to fix these two issues?
You can't use OK Google with the screen off unless the device is plugged in

That sucks huh. Wonder why the note 4 was capable of it. I guess google just plans to remove that feature. Makes me miss the Motorola assist always listening
S voice works with the screen off. It's not quite as good as moto voice but it works great for me
So I had a situation the other day when my girlfriend needed me in the middle of the night and my phone was on silent.....forgot to take it off of that from a meeting earlier that evening. Wasn't good that I couldn't help her till i randomly woke up to a lot of missed calls.
Made a fast simple app to help her get in touch if my phone isn't turned up. It allows her to text me a specific word, phrase, etc....and when i receive that specific body of text my volumes on my phone turn to max. That way when she needs me she can make my phone ring if i forget again :S
Called Emergency Volume I'm sure others might find a use for it so i put it in the play store for $1.42 (30% of $1.42-30% since Google takes 30%) at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.venturealpha.emergencyvolume refund within 14 min per Google if it doesn't work.
Should work on any android 4.4 and up maybe even 4.3.
*IT IS CASE SENSITIVE* so what you set the body to be is exactly what has to be typed for now.
I will also make it so you can say from any contact or a specific contact(s) it will take some time to figure out but the base is working and tested on all NEW samsung devices.
Says $1.29

Edited this post twice so far. Don't know why it isn't staying was changed from the start . I moved it to that whe I put it there because Google takes 30% so it comes out to 99 and would be a direct reflection of the number of downloads.
Should actually be $1.42 for the calculation.

Btw, can I make the volume up to lock the screen and unlock the screen to? Thanks
Don't think it will let me toggle that I can see if it will. Are you using a pin or password or is it just a swipe to unlock

I using fingerprint to unlock my phone. So no way to wake up the screen with volume button?
It should still turn the volume up when the screen is locked. I have a fingerprint on my Note 5. Let me test it.
Update: yes just had my screen off and kicked with a fingerprint. Girlfriend texted me the words "Volume up" because I set it for that command. And it beeped and upped all volumes. And it had to of worked because she used it to wake me up at 8am a week ago lol...

Hi,
I noticed today that I can unlock my EU S8+ using any finger in under 10 attempts. Only 3 fingerprints are registered.
The fingerprint scanner can't be that insecure surley?
Anyone else find it that easy to bypass?
No, mine only unlocks with the fingers I have registered

You must have duplicate fingerprints on those other fingers... which is impossible, but the only explanation for what you are describing.
And don't call me Shirley.

If you have smart lock enabled you'll see this behavior. I just reproduced this while my device was location smart unlocked. It doesn't occur when the device isn't unlocked from smart lock
I have no Smart Lock enabled.

I saw a video of a fake Galaxy S8+ that had a fake fingerprint scanner that only pretended to secure the device but worked with anyone's finger....
Your device is fake
u got fake device... try unlocking with elephants finger,,, phone will unlock surely....
Does the box say 5am5ung instead of Samsung?
Seems like you got a faulty piece

What does this app say about your phone?
Hmmmm
Heh, not, it's not a fake phone. Was bought new, sim free directly from Samsung
No but seriously, delete your fingerprints that are registered and re-register them. Maybe you had some fault reads 1st pass around.
Hi.
I had the same problem. I could unlock my wifes phone 2 times but only 2 of her fingers are registered. Brand new original Samsung. This really shocked me.
I have been told...lol
That how these systems work is to convert your bodies fingerprint basically into electric energy and then a form of binary code
So if its anything like this It is actually a really insecure system in the means electrical resistance and such as it dont actually read your fingerprint pattern but just converts the ridges and valleys into a electrical signal.....
Its supposed to be more secure than short passwords but still easily circumvented...
As this is not the same type of fingerprint scanner they use to book you at the polices station which does scan the images of your print......
I may be blowin smoke but across many pages of reading this is the conclusion I have come to
This explains some of it

Well I've had a few days with mine under cricket and my only gripe is the lack of LTE and the fact that it looks like it will not get Oreo. Also 7.0 removed the option for Volte and that is where my main question comes in, why was this done? That one I see no benefit for anyone in...
