Hey guys,
I have this phone since a few weeks ago and recently I realized that I have problems both with the on screen notifications on and the edge lighting.
I literally searched everywhere, but could not find a fix, so I really would appreciate some help!
So, my first problem is that I initially received notifications while my screen was off. Whenever I got a notification, the screen would turn on, however the notification would only appear for a matter of seconds and after that it would completely disappear from the lock screen. Like I never received a notification at all. Therefore, I decided to search for a fix and now my problem is quite the opposite.. I receive notifications, they stay on the lock screen until I swipe them off or open them, however, the screen is not waking up at all after I receive them. For example, when the phone is on sound mode, I can hear the notification sound, the LED indicator is lighting up, but the screen does not wake up. All notifications are allowed and I have unchecked the "keep screen turned off" option. My phone is not on a battery or data saver mode as well.
The second problem is that the Edge Lighting does not work at all. Yes, I tried to switch off and on the buttons, I set the Edge lighting to "always" and enabled all available applications. Restarted the phone numerous times as well, no progress whatsoever. Oh, also the notifications are not in "pill" style.
If that matters, I cleared the cache, I've updated everything and didn't find an application that might cause any interruptions, although I am not excluding that option.
For me works only in messaging app, in edgelighting i have touch all apps.

Anyone notice how when you're already in an app with the screen off and you receive a notification for that app, when you turn the screen on it doesn't automatically clear it? For example, I'm on the home screen, turn the screen off, receive a text, turn screen on, open message thread, notification cleared. I REMAIN in message thread, turn screen off, receive another text from the same person, turn screen on, even though I'm already in the thread, the notification remains. This is extremely annoying because if you leave a message thread up, you must constantly clear notifications for no good reason.
Would you all consider this a bug? What's the best way to submit this to HTC?
EDIT: On second thought, this may only happen when the lock screen is disabled. I could've sworn I've seen it happen before even with the lock screen enabled, but only intermittently.
Hi I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have an s7 edge and I have started noticing that sometimes the notifications aren't coming through on my lock screen. For instance I have twitter notifications set up for when someone tweets and the majority of the time they alert me then show up on my lock screen but sometimes when I unlock my phone I'll have a few come through at the same time. It's as if sometimes when I lock my screen it disconnects from the Internet and when I unlock it everything is coming through. I also noticed something different today, I tapped my home button to unlock my phone and on the lock screen I had an alert but as I pressed the home button to wake up from sleep the exact same notification popped up again. So I got it twice but it was already on the screen then it alerted me again when I tapped it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
Has anyone found a way to disable screen wake for notifications? Every time I receive a new email or hangout message(Those are the two I've noticed so far) my screen will turn on. Driving me crazy.

Just tested it, I don't have screen wake on notification, neither with power plugged in, nor on battery. Also tried with with always on display, it only adds notification icon, doesn't even change the brightness.
Go into "settings" and turn off all notifications
it's also annoying that the screen lights up when the battery reaches 100% while wirelessly charging,
it lights up the whole bedroom.
This was driving me crazy. Came across 'SMS Popup' app I used years ago and it works like a charm. No more screen lighting up when a message comes in. Disable notifications in stock messaging app and enable in SMS popup. Unselect 'screen on for popup'. I like the popup options better than default messaging app too, you can configure the buttons and even have one that reads the message out loud.
Edit: After further testing, results are very inconsistent. Works great sometimes and not at all others. I have uninstalled and it's back to square one.
I've put Do Not Disturb mode on when I'm driving, so that I don't get disturbed by notifications (e.gm whatsapp, Facebook, messages) popping up in bubbles at the top of the screen.
It's simply doesn't work - they still pop up! (albeit it doesn't vibrate).
I've selected the "hide visual notifications" option (see screenshot) but it doesn't work either way.
Anyone else have this issue? Any potential solutions?
Mine still give audible notifications in the night when it should be on do not disturb!
I have a much larger issue. My Galaxy S8+, I will turn on the setting to keep alarms on, one night it will work and the next night it won't so my alarm never goes off in the morning. Therefore I stopped using DND, turned all the setting to off even deleted the days it will operate to none and the setting STILL comes on every night at 1030. I go in to check my settings and they are all back on to the day before. Android is starting to get pretty poor with its updates.
if your display is on and in an app while in dnd calls will still come through if youre display is off they will not come through if youre display is on but not in an app the calls will not come through. No work around i can find as of now
This is so typically Samsung.. They finally fixed it, but only when the screen is off and when on the home screen
Ugh.. My Do Don't Disturb is dysfunctional.
If I'm listening to an audio book, watching Netflix or jamming to my tunes and someone calls what ever I'm listening to/watching pauses while the phone silently rings that's B.S. DND means exactly that DND. All calls should go straight to VM. when DND mode is on. Otherwise I can just turn the darn ringer off. DND is worthless.
For me works well. Only when the screen is off, like iPhone. Have you make the settings propperly? Because you can put if you want that calls don't show on screen.
A similar issue was fixed by hard-reset. Have you tried a factory reset? Factory reset stepMod Edit
Is there still no fix to this?
It seems like a pretty important malfunction and is super frustrating every night.
Anyone manage to get it working properly using Tasker?
On my S4, then S6 Edge I had a Tasker profile to turn on Do Not Disturb automatically when I plug my phone in to charge at night, and it worked a treat.
Not with the S8, no matter what I try, it still vibrates and activates the LED notification, even though it is showing as Do Not Disturb mode on, and in the settings I have ticked all the options to hide notifications when the screen is on, and off, and set no exceptions, or alarms only with the same result.
Any ideas?
Up till now, all my galaxy phones had a persistent phone notification, while on a call, right on the lock screen along with other notifications. It had simple buttons for mute/unmute and speaker phone on/off. On the S8, there's no persistent notification for the phone on the lock screen. I've ensured that I don't have the phone app disabled from showing notifications on the lock screen, it's set to show all content. I have to either unlock, or pull down the notification panel and then get to it, which is kind of annoying. Anybody else notice this or is it something with my phone? Just want to check before I attempt a factory reset.
