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.

Does anyone here use GO SMS PRO? Im having an issue where if a text comes in and the popup shows the message, and I dont touch the phone and the screen turns off, GOSMS PRO will mark the message as read as the notification is removed and when you go to the app, it shows that the message was read when it was not. Also if I just close the popup window it also marks the message read and there should be an option to mark it read or not. anyone know how to resolve?
If I can not, I will have to remove the program as I am missing text messags because the come in and later when I look at the phone, and go into the program, I find text messages I didnt know I had.
Hmm thats really wierd ive been using go sms pro for a while now and i havent had that problem at all. what rom are you running

SPRINT LOVERS ROM. I tested it several times. I receive a text message and as soon as the screen goes off, the notification is gone and the message is market read. I switched to a program called SMS POPUP that works with the standard text messaging app that comes with the phone and it doesnt dismiss the notification or mark the message read. I think there is a GOSMS PRO error.. also if yo just close the popup, the notification goes away.. whats funny is later I went into the GO SMS APP and I saw the popup window still open in there..

I used handcent for awhile, I really like it. I just went with gosms for a change. I like to switch it up a bit to keep my brain guessing. lol
IM trying to figure our why I need this over the STOCK app + SMS POPUP? can someone tell me??
Well because sms popup looks retarded and the stock sms app isnt better than chomp, handcent, or gosmspro. and maybe because you just wanna have your own spin on very little part of your phone
Ok, so I get a new text message.
I turn on the phone, notice in the lockscreen someone texted, and see an excerpt of the text. I say, ok, lets slide that messaging icon into the ring and read that message. Well, that message is not there. No message at all from that person. If its someone ive been talking to, it usually shows what i said last only, and their reply is no where to be found, although i just saw it in the lockscreen or the top bar.
I have also tried the handcent sms app to see if it could help me. same thing occurs there too.
ANY idea what could be causing this? It seems to be doing it all the time now. My only way around it is to use google voice only. ugh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's the limit you have set for deleting texts after a certain period? Might have something to do with that.

yeah, ive been using it, but its still a hassle. My txts were coming through just fine the day i got it, then it got wierd afer 48hrs of use.
Thanks for the help, Ill keep looking as well for an answer.
I am a very similar issue, at first I thought I was missing text messages as well.
I got a few keywords from my friend who sent the missing text and when I did a search, the text was there, but they had the wrong time stamp.
For instance missing text was sent at 17:44, when I search I found the text stamped and threaded in as if it was received at 12:40.
The wrong time is variable, I have found other texts that was stamped received the previous day.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution, and quite frankly am getting really frustrated with this problem.

I have posted here but recieved no answer. I figured my question belongs here anyway, so I won't bump the other thread.
I am trying to use Hangouts as my default SMS app (It is also currently the only SMS app installed on my device) because I do like it. However I noticed that sometimes I don't get any notification when I recieve a text message, no vibration, nor sound nor notification in the status bar. As a result, I miss quite a lot of texts. Notice that I do recieve those texts, if I check the app they are there, text bold to indicate they are not yet read. I just don't get the notification. Also, most of the time I do get the notifications without a problem. So to be clear, this is about some SMS's, not about all.
As far as I know this happens when I recieve the message very shortly after I put down my phone (my routine: send text, press 'backbutton' once to get in the hangouts overview, and then I press power to shut of the screen and put the phone down.) If I get a message let's say within half a minute of me turning of the screen I won't have a clue I recieved the message until I go look in hangouts to check. This happens often when someone is quick to respond to my own message, but could maybe be happening with other messages I recieve in that time. I don't think this happens to messages I recieve when the screen has been off for a time, but I can't say that with certainty.
I have a HTC One S currently running CM11, but I had this problem on stock ROM too. However never with the HTC stock messaging app.
I have found similar problems here on the forums, but no satifying answers. I hope someone has a solution?

I hope I can explain this well enough for someone to understand, so here it goes.
When using the S2, I could swipe up to dismiss a text message and then I would look on my V20 and the message would show as being read.
Now.....when using the S3 the message on the phone still shows as unread. I can even reply to a text from the watch, but the phone still shows unread.
Basically I want both the watch and the phone to mirror one another.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have notice the same thing I hope someone can explain why this is happening and come up with a solution
I'm not using the stock messenger, I'm using Textra. But I'm guessing they work the same.
I believe it's the difference between dismissing the notification (and/or replying from within the notification), and going in and reading and/or replying down in the actual message. Almost like layers. But it confused me at first, because the notification can "preview" the message with... the message! (Toggle "Always show details" in the notification settings)
Try tapping "Read more" before replying. Weird thing is, seems like you still have to go back and swipe away the notification after replying...

OK i use the S8+ and i HAD a huge problem with whatsapp notifications and the always pop up display. I like having the pop up appearing each time i receive
a whatsapp message, instead of that small blue pop box at top of screen. I tried everything to rectify the problem and even emailed whatsapp to sort it out.
As usual i just got a generic reply. All of the settings in the app and phone were all set properly and i was angry.
Besides whatsapp , i was also NOT getting proper text message notifcations, but the same old blue small banner at top of the screen.
What i did next astounded me. I DELETED whatsapp from my phone..................i reinstalled it straight away BUT..............................
Whilst i was installing it again, there are some TICK boxes to complete. The first was the usual stuff like allow all things like contacts, location, numbers etc etc......................the next box it asked if i wanted something to do with SMS settings etc (i forgot now)................i DECLINED this one or ticked NO.
Now.....everytime i use whatsapp i get the proper pop up screen......even in the locked screen, and i receive proper text messages as well. No more small blue banner at top of screen. So i guess if you accept the second box on installation you get the small banner preview box and it therefore conflicts against whatsapp..........and if you declne......you get a proper whatsapp and a proper text message.
Hope this clears everything up

That blue pop-up is most likely being caused by Edge Lighting being on.
