Edge lighting - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Ok so dont know if anybody has noticed this.
When the device was upside down...when you would recieve a call...the edge would light up to alert you of a call. Mine was always bright green.
Since the oreo update it seems that this feature does not work.
It seems to work for all other notifications apart from calls.
Is there a work-around?

Me too facing the same issue idge lighting doesn't show (faceup)

I liked this feature...hate the way samsung gives you something then takes it away with an update.

Everybody please use Edge lighting +

Is edge lighting+ a seperate app?

What is this...is it a separate app?

Hi...give yourself a little effort and try searching on Google or XDA....... It's easy to find...
For example, here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/themes/app-t3805969 [emoji6]

Well this does not work either. There is no difference between edge lighting+ and what is already installed on the device.
The issue is when the device recieves a call, the messages and other notifications work fine. This used to work fine until the oreo update

Anybody found a solution?

I have searched high and low for edge lighting + and haven't found anything. The badlock launder looks awesome, but it appears if we're on nougat, it isn't possible to install?
So, can anyone tell me if there is any way to enable face up lighting/s8 lighting features on our S7 edge on nougat, even if rooted?!
Thank you for any help!

I have the edge lighting + app
It does not do anythin different than what you device doea anyway.
It lights up when you get a text.
I wanted it to light up when i got a call when devicr was face down, seems like they have removed this feature.

Where is that app? I cannot find it on Galaxy Apps. We are in the S7 forum, right?

Yes we are in the s7 edge forum.
The app is on galaxy apps, search edge lighting + and you will see a pink/yellow app.

OK, try this one: https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=EdgeLighting

Ok, I downloaded the edgelighting+ app from the apk site and when I open it, it directly opens the Galaxy apps store and gives me a message saying this app is no longer available or is not supported in this country or on this device. Any fix or ideas? I'm on the Chinese variant and have tried with and without VPN connected. And, for those who have this app, does it allow face up edge lighting?
Thank you

Samsung Galaxy S trick:Change brightness with a simple swype!!!

Yes it works!
You can change the brightness from the home screen without change any option or install any application.
Press on the notification bar (not open it) and after shows up with the date, just swype left or right to adjust the brightness!!!
Here is my video on youtube to see how it works:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFABj8LvD3g
Welcome to 2010 lol. (sorry!).
I think the correct way to do it is just to hold an area on the notification bar (not swype). left is less bright, right is more bright. (at least on latest fws it works like this).
This has been known since éclair. You must have auto brightness off for it to work though.
Thanks for sharing anyway, original thread has probably been lost in the folds. I'm sure there are plenty of new sgs users on here all the time. It is still one of the best smartphones on the market today, and now it's dirt cheap.

Although i agree that it might be handy for new users... There is always room for irony or as in this case sarcasm i believe. I rated this find a single facepalm.

Its not a hidden trick or anything. Its even documented in the user manual.
When the notification bar is in the landscape mode you can swipe it more brighter

It only works with 2.1 I believe. One of those tricks lost with the updates.

I'm sad that it won't let me remove those two buttons but otherwise that's actually pretty helpful, thank you.
Not sure why you can't replace them. It lets me do it just fine. If you're talking about just getting rid of them and having empty spots then I don't think it will let you

You do realize we aren't just talking about some notification toggles, right? These are below them, I see no way to remove or change them.

Really hoping someone finds a way to get rid of that sht.
Deleting 'S Finder', "Quick connect', and 'Quick Connect Interaction Service' leaves the 'S Finder' button doing nothing, though you can still click it, and the 'Quick Connect' button disabled (after a reboot). They're still occupying the same space.
As I posted in this topic's threat in the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5 area:
This is annoying me as well. I think those not yet able to craft their own ROMs (like me), are gonna need to wait. If you're feeling adventurous, you maybe try installing [ROM][G900F][4.4.2]-AllianceROM-OTA Nightlies (the F and T models are similar I believe) and providing the developers with feedback.
There's also the possibility that [APPS][4.1+] Google Experience Launcher (GEL App + Google Search App) will work, as described by the article How to get the Google Experience Launcher on the Galaxy S5 which I found via this post (go thank him if it works).
would be great if xposed modual came out for this there very annoying
See Echoe Rom thread, find a mod to remove that string
if you want to get rid of that thing root your phone, edit the xml of statusbar expanded in apktool

Galaxy S7 edge - wake up on notification and auto-expand in lockscreen

Hello,
Im looking for a solution to wake up the display when I receive a WhatsApp-Message and auto-expand it so I can read the message while driving without touching my device.
Is there a working solution?
My device:
- Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (SM-G935F)
- Phoenix ROM v2 (rooted + xposed installed)
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Nestade
PS: Already tried the integrated WhatsApp-Popups but I'd prefer "normal expanded notifications"

Hi,
That are the Popups from whatsapp - they are annoying while driving.
I'd just like to wake up the screen for a few seconds and see if the message is important (like on a iPhone) - Google "iPhone lockscreen whatsapp" - first picture (can't post the link).

Nestade

Yeah
iOS is much more user friendly but less customizable.
But I'm sure there is something out there to get something similar - at least I hope so :/

Hm - there were features like that in wanamkit and XBlast Tools and afaik fingerprint still worked.
But this modules are outdated.
Trying XNotifications right now.
EDIT: XNotifications doesn't seem to work - it just expands the notifications in the "notification bar" but not in the lock screen.
NiLS Lock Screen Notifications is working very well.
Still contacted the dev of PhoenixROM - maybe he will add something similar because it's really good

Hm - I tried gravitybox and when I got 2 messages it showed "2 messages from XY" - is there a way to show each message seperately with gravitybox?
Or is there a custom rom which supports this?
Is this feature integrated in the new Note7 ports or are the notifications similar?

Textra Emoji Grid Broken

I've owned this device for about a month, and I've had this glitch ever since. Never seen it before on my G3 or any other device. I've tried other Textra emoji sets, and it doesn't change. Looks the same in landscape.
I haven't rooted this Edge or changed the dpi. Stock rom & kernel. Has anyone seen this and/or have any ideas how to fix it?

Using my G935P S7 Edge
You should be asking the creator of the app mate.
Maybe, but since I've only noticed this on my edge, not on my wife's S7 or on my previous LG G3, and all using the same Textra app, it seems to be devices specific. I've searched online and here on XDA. Not a thing I can find of it.
Using my G935P S7 Edge
No it's not device specific, since I use Textra and I don't have that issue on my S7 Edge. Although I have the dualsim version.
Sent from my SM-T231 using Tapatalk
It's happened to me a few times. Although, I can't remember how I fixed it! I do remember the fix was simple, if that makes sense.
Choose another emoji style, also clear cache. If that doesn't work, backup all and then clear data. Hope those were it!

Thanks for the tip, but I did try clearing the cache a few times. I thought about editing the dpi, but one ap shouldn't need a full system change.
Oh, well. I can put a positive spin on this to say at least someone didn't answer 5 minutes after I posted the OP to say I was overlooking something easy that takes 3 clicks. Definitely a glitch.

Did you switch like I recommended?
Had this also after picking up my s7 edge the other day. I got it after changing my Display Scaling to "Condensed". All I did was downloaded the iOS emoji's, switched to that, and opened Textra back up and they displayed properly. Then went back and switched back to the Android ones and they were back to normal. Not had an issue since.

Yes and no. I had tried downloading the IOS and Twitter style add-ons. I guess I thought by downloading them, they would have been activated in Textra, but not so. When I did go into Settings and choose IOS, it did fix the problem for me. Thanks!

And this worked too. When I did go back to the system icons after switching to the IOS style, it fixed the grid for that set too. That's odd, but okay!

Check out Always on AMOLED from the Play Store - I've used it on the A20 and the Bold N1 and it works pretty good. Battery drain isn't too bad. Decent options on the free version but for $2 it's worth the "pro" version. It will also display alerts around the screen for e-mails, etc.
