I just got a Verizon XV6800 and I'm having a problem with the sounds and notifications. The notifications for SMS, MMS, and Email will turn themselves off. I will set the notifications (checking all boxes) and it will work for a while, but it will then turn the notifications off. I will go into the setting and all the check boxes for the above notifications will be empty.
anyone have any idea what would cause this?
On the latest 6.01. Every time the gmail notification comes up on new mail, the screen wakes when it's off. I can't find any setting to disable this behavior unless I disable the notification completely. It wasn't like this on Lollipop.
Found the cause, was due to lightflow. Only solution is to disable lightflow completely.
Hi!
I installed Nougat today and I want to disable UI notifications like DO NOT DISTURB and SECURITY thingy notifications but I cant turn them off, even I cant hide them in lockscreen.
I tap and hold over them and I the notification menu will pop up but I dont have any option, I cant disable them.
How can I disable them?
Tnx
I'm trying to figure out how to get the edge lighting to work. I've set it up to trigger on all app notifications and I have yet to see the lighting function.
Is there a trick to get this to work? Does lighting work when having AOD on?
The apps should also support edge lighting, otherwise you wont see it. As of now, only samsungs default apps only support.
You can use the app called "Edge Mask" from play store to customize edge lighting for all apps.
this is how I got it working with all apps defined & in state screen on or off:
First disable notification for all apps you want to show with new notif style
in settings > notification
install SystemUI Tuner from playstore,
then in miscellaneous > enable Heads-Up Notifications.
scroll down and enable Power Notification controls.
now go back to notification setting, tap the app then slide to level 4 or 5 (peek enable)
the notification for the app should be in new style now (edge lighting enabled)
Now the trick so it also works with screen off:
install from playstore: Lightflow legacy
Add Lightflow in edge lighting setting "manage apps notification"
setting in lightflow app:
the key is the setting in lightflow must enable "Switch screen on" in the app setting
After you add the app in lightflow, goto app setting and tab Notification, scroll and enable switch screen on.
then you will have edge lighting notif for other apps too.

Thanks man, now I have it working with screen on. Just can't figure out how to make it work with screen off heaven with your trick with light flow.
have u turn on edge lighting setting to "Always" ?
also add light flow and all apps defined in edge lighting manage apps.
Any chance you could point me to working root for the S8+ to install SystemUI Tuner? Model: SM-G955F
root is not necessary. just install System UI tuner from playstore,
then follow the step to enable permission from adb . are u familiar with adb ?
- enable developer mode on phone, then turn on usb debugging
- connect phone to computer, start adb
- type in the set permission command in adb, as instructed in the app.
- then follow my instruction above.
I guess that the edge lighting for apps when the screen is on but not when it's off i'm talking about whatsapp for instance it gives you an edge lighted notification when screen is on but not when it's off although you have it in the edge lighting permissions toggled on ,
all you need to do is to turn on the pop up notification in the whatsapp application either for always or only when the screen is off but for me I did it only for when screen is turned off
enjooy
I got whatsapp edge lighting work with display off. But there isn't the text of the message. Only the icon on the screen.
@Bautinho88 How did U manage to make it working for whatsapp with screen off? For me it only works when I select "popup" on whatsapp and that's not good for me
Still wouldn't work on apps with custom notification APIs like Facebook Messenger. Oreo removes the ability to have power notifications too, btw
And lightflow/glimpse notifications seems like a half-baked solution, since it hijacks the icon, and doesn't display any message info for me. Also it hijacks the color.
Oreo allows notification channels, which lets me enable it for most of my apps. like i said, the only ones that don't work use custom APIs for notifications.
I don't think we will ever see a fully working 'Edge Lighting Notifications" as long as it's running as an APK. It should be built into the UI/system in Samsung's skin so that it's not piggy-backing off of notifications with Android, and rather Pre-skinning it as the notifications come in.

It's driving me nuts that there is always this one notification that I cant disable.
I'm running Android 8.0.0 on the G8141 and I'm pretty sure that on previous android versions there was only a small icon at the very top right of the screen that indicated when do not disturb was on. Why is there now this huge notification?
And no, i cant disable the notification in the notification settings (Notifications of System UI) as its forced to stay on and i already set all categories to Importance Low.
With Root access, I'm willing to go to any length to get rid of this notification.
Hey, I'm having the same issue, did you find a wway?
