The curve interests me as a way to view notifications without going into the device, but does it actually work like this?
In demos so far it looks like the screen is dimmed and bar active in night mode where you can then swipe for notifications, but could you say have the bar always tell you how many of X type you have and then you swipe to view before deciding if you want to go in I wonder, this could be an actual useful feature for the edge for my use.

I don't than most know yet, but since they are leaving it open source. Other devs can program different things.
Now people have the phone, wondering if they could update oh this.
Phone is still on desk with screen off. An email arrives. Any edge action?

Text messages show up on the Edge even when the phone is switched off but it also wakes up the main screen in the process. I noticed if the fingerprint lock is activated then you just hear the sound but dont see any notification.
I have also set other notifications but it doesn't seem to wake the edge panel. If the phone screen is turned on, notifications show up on the edge screen otherwise not. This annoys me buy hopefully firmware update will address these issues.

I seen some videos and it seems to suck. You have to turn the phone to read them.
There should be a update to set it ti work like a normal android. Only time will tell.

Yeah. An example, at night I received a message from ebay the notification sounded but the phone stayed asleep. I could rub the edge screen and it would display it in scrolling action with other notifications.
It seems like a software issue though. Hoping for a fix soon.
On our list of things to make a separate app for
I have the Always Display Information turned on. It would display when I get a message but no other apps like WhatsApp, Gmail etc. would have any indicators. I would need to turn the screen on to be able to see if I have any notifications from those apps or not. Does anyone know how I can turn it on for other apps as well?
On the subject of notifications, sometimes push notifications aren't coming through whilst the phone is sleeping (only when I turn the screen on). I have already made sure to turn off the battery management on my various messaging apps (Settings - Battery - App Launch) as well as locked them in Recent Apps. Doing these things improved it but it's still not consistent. Does anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!

Probably because it's not a solution for AOD. It's a solution that shows you your notifications when you pick up your phone and the screen turns on

Why don't you actually read my question, and then compare it with what they are talking about in that thread? Maybe then you will get it. Just saying...
Anyway, after searching everywhere, the answer seems to be that only stock apps get notifications on the AOD. There doesn't seem to be any way for other app's notifications to be displayed yet. FYI gd6noob, no one in that thread talked about this.
I really miss Samsung for only this reason: 3rd party apps on Always On Display.
I hope Huawei somehow, in the future brings this to our devices.
Is it possible in Emui 9? Thanks

Nope same thing
Glance Plus is the only app which I found does something similar, but it doesn't work as well as the Always on Display in Samsung phones. If anyone knows of other apps, any recommendation is welcome.

Hey guys.
Stumbled upon this on YouTube. Bought the app and I can confirm that it works.
This is the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe
Here's the video I found on YouTube:
I managed to get it setup just the way I like. The guy in the video is a bit hard to understand but the video is good enough to get you started.

Enjoy!
thanks a lot =)
But is it posible to set different colors for different apps?
for example
green = whatsapp
blue = facebook ....
UPDATE: there is an option .... "when a notification comes" there you got the option "select enabled aps ots color and time" the blue button =)

Just tried it, buggy as hell and didn't play nice with my lock screen. Also every 30 seconds the screen would flicker.
I'll keep an eye on it and maybe try again after more refinement.

I had nothing but issues out of the app. Notifications wouldn't notify, the lock screen turned on and off randomly, there were no edge lighting effects no matter what I adjusted. I even tried to use the camera cutout, it again did not work.
This is a VERY bloated app, containing a LOT of features and options that frankly, are of no use to me or of no interest to me. I want an app that it's ONLY purpose is to alert me when I get messages, calls, and email. one that does not have so much bloat so that the developer can focus on the feature that is most sought after at the moment.
Just my two cents.
tl;dr App is junk, has too much junk, we need a debloated app.
It's a start...

Come on! This app might not be right for you, but the developer should at least be given some credit/thanks for the effort taken to solve a problem, for which several users are seeking a not really forthcoming solution from Samsung. You "want an app...", but the developer created something and shared it. Granted, the app has far too many options and choices, but I was able to get it working to my satisfaction. Let's be thankful first .

Okay, okay, okay. I may have been a little harsh. I didn't mean to demean to developer. I am very thankful they have taken the time to create this app out of the kindness of their heart, as well as make the app free. I appreciate the work they have done and I would even donate if I could get the app to work; however it's not very user friendly tough, and in my opinion, could use a lot of work on many different aspects.
My main issue with the app is that it does not work as intended. I have tried using the youtube video settings, playing with options, etc.
I download and re-install this app about 5 times a day in hopes that MAYBE one time I can get it to function as intended. But I do not get any kind of Edge lighting or Notch cutout alert when I get messages, and that is the sole purpose of my attempts with this app, if I could find something similar or something that better served this purpose I would use it instead.
Sometimes, while using the apps lock screen, it will display the little icon and the message but then it goes away, and doesn't re-alert like it is suppose to, and the light affects do not appear. I have tried leaving it as the stock color and using a custom color. I have tried using the app lock screen, I have tried using the settings within the app to let it manipulate the wallpaper and lock screen, tried it with an image and also just a black background. I never even delved into setting different colors for apps, I can't get the dang notifications to work!
end rant
Do you have edge light on? Worked for me first try. I am not saying its 100% but for free and for now to wait to see if Samsung might give us we want I will leave it on my phone.
hello,
with this app is there a setup to leave the screen off when a notification comes in and only the cam ring turns on then?
thanks

Yes
it is working a bit strange for me as well. I've managed to get it to ALMOST work how I want, but I can't figure out why it will do random things
-- for a while it was turning on my screen when the edge lighting came on, which was pointless. I changed a lot of settings in troubleshooting, but I'm not sure what I did to fix it
-- also, it does notify every 30 seconds even though I have no new notifications. that one I haven't figured out yet
It does work as advertised though, despite the bugs I can't fix. It will either light up my edge lighting or the notch around the camera (which I prefer). so props to the dev for figuring that part out and here's to hoping the rest of the bugs get worked on the S10 (and my S10+). it seems to be working for other devices (I originally found it here for the oneplus)

you need to disable edge lighting in setting to use this app or else it will conflict since this app does wake up the screen while edge lighting is not.
if u enable both that mean this app waking up the screen, then edge lighting will also showing (coz edge lighting while screen is on is applied). you will have both notification then

thanks! Not sure if it was changing that setting that helped, or their recent update I got yesterday, but the weird behavior has seemed to subside for a bit... I'll give it a few more days of testing to see if I can find anything else weird, but so far so good. I might also try swapping out the default color with individual colors for each app soon. Glad the dev seems to be open and receptive to feedback and willing to keep his app updated to fix various bugs found
The Reminder Notification Option
Has anyone successfully gotten the reminder option to work? When used, this is supposed to repeat the notification lighting for a brief period, if a notification had been unanswered for a period of time (30 or 60 seconds - I think). However, I could not get that to work - or at least replay the lighting. incidentally, I notice that Sakitech did not "fully" demo this feature in his Youtube tutorial. He mentioned it (at about 6:08), but did not show it working, I suspect (only speculating...) that he edited it out of the video because it does not work properly.
If anyone has the right settings for **** please share.

Thanks! The only setting I have differently is "double top to close" instead of "swipe up to close". Otherwise, I have been using these exact settings . As usual, at the moment that the screen should display the reminder, all that happens is the phone vibrates, but the light is not illuminated or display any visible interaction with the AOE lighting app.

Yeah, I see what you mean. My app as well will not work properly. I don't know what is going on? I have reached out to the developer and still not able to resolve the issues. The app starts out good but then goes rogue after awhile. I thought it was good lock messing it up but I was wrong. I give up for now.

Try turning off the "Manually only when I want it, I open the app". Also change the "When a notification comes" "And screen is off" to "Always off or on". Be sure you have turned off the Edge lighting in your phone settings.
What I was finding is when a notification would come in, it would light up the screen for a second and this would cause the app not to show the notification because I set it to "And screen is off" condition causing several notifications, if not all, to make the app not work. Once I changed to it to either/or, it has been working great for me. Hope this helps
I have the Chinese version of the phone.
I am wondering, does this phone have any kind of mail, message or notification light when the screen is off?
If someone sends me a Line, Messenger or Gmail message, is there any kind of blinking light, edge lighting or glowing ring around the punch hole?
I am looking in the options and all I can find is an edge lighting option for phone calls.
But if someone calls me, and I miss the call, when the screen is off there is no blinking light or anything. Help.
There is no notification LED/Light.
I'm using True Edge which works to a point, seems to work great and then just stop - even with all the battery optimisation settings set correctly etc. But I think this is your best choice.
Thanks for the answer about no notification light.
Also thanks for the app recommendation.
Does anyone know of a good app that will put a notification ring around the punch hold camera with the screen on or off?
Please share. Thanks.

Hi, i am using the Chinese version of the Find X2 pro and I just can't seem to get the it to work for notifications.
It works just fine when I get calls, but it doesn't do anything when I receive messages from like WhatsApp or WeChat etc.

Same here. Never noticed this working on mine either now you mention it. China spec in UK also.
Doesn't work with global rom in UK either! I use True Edge from google play store, but even that is hit and miss (and it's not brilliant on the battery). Not sure why a company who doesn't include a notification LED doesn't do more for other methods of notifying.

It's only lighting up once or twice. Don't expect more. It's ok like that. If you want more then install from playstore. There a couple of apps which has similar settings for incoming messages calls, etc.

Yeah same issue here. Always On display is the only workaround I can think of.
With no LED they need a way to let you know of missed calls and text messages..
Can anyone recommend an alternative app?

I've tried:
True Edge
Always on Edge
Always on AMOLED
Notify Edge
All are *huge* battery suckers
Currently using Notify Buddy by Xander Apps. Seems to be the best for battery useage and lights up a circle (which is an absolute PITA to position). I have it perpendicular to the camera punch on right of screen. Works for *most* apps but not all.
Don't agree with the comment about notification only lighting once or twice is useful. We have notification sounds for that!

I think this is more if you are away from your phone or it's on silent. You want to be able to glance at your phone and know if there is something important pending. (like a missed call). At this point in time without Always on Display there is no way to do this.
Thanks for the app recommendation
I did try NotifyBuddy though didnt work for me.. No LED coming up.
i think always on display is the best option. at least it's a factory app designed to be run all the time.
For anyone not sure it's called "Screen off Clock" in the Oppo settings.

Took an age for me to "find" the LED on screen. Had to manually position and then use the overly-sensitive pseudo mouse to eventually find it. Move it a millimetre and it's gone again!
Similar issue on my UK purchased device, just over a month now, one update since purchase - CPH2025CPW_11_A.24 (still on June security patch!!)
Initially screen light effect for lock screen notifications worked but in the last few days has stopped lighting up for messages. Works fine for incoming calls though...
