I checked my settings, I have them set to on for the edge notifications. I send myself email, get texts, while phone is face down, and the edge never lights up. Anybody else experiencing issues?
Mine is a AT&T 32gb Edge
*Update, thing i figured it out, I havent tested this yet but i think it's because i'm using google hangouts for texts and gmail for mail, not samsung specific apps.

I'm having the same problem. I'm on verizon. If I call the phone or text drom an edge contact, no edge reaction from the phone. I'm using the stock message app as well as the stock dialer and stock launcher. Were you able to figure this out?
I was having the same problem but was already using the stock Samsung apps. Restarting has now fixed this, whether thats permanently i don't know.
See this might help

Are you using the people edge? I had the same issue and I was able to get it working again. It is not an accelerometer issue. I disabled the people edge as soon as I got the phone since I figured I would never use it. After a day or 2 of using the phone I realized the edge lighting was not working at all even though it was enabled. What I did was re-enable the people edge, set a friend to a color and then I had that person text me to see if that was working, which it did, so at that point I was sure it wasn't a broken accelerometer as some users have stated. I then deleted that friend from people edge, (so that all colors were set to default) I once again turned off the people edge and then finally retested the edge lighting and voila! It worked. It must have been some kind of glitch that I reset by re-enabling the people edge and then turning it back off. It has been 2 days and I can confirm it is still working. I hope this might work for you too! Let me know! I don't think it works with hangout though. Try using the regular Samsung messenger.

So yesterday I'm on the phone and I go to send a picture to someone(MMS) and after a bit it came up with a box saying it failed and to retry now or later. I tried it a few more times and still nothing. I know my Galaxy S3 allowed me to send picture messages while in calls so is this a device limitation? Am I the only one experiencing this? Or is there a New law or something that doesn't allow picture sending while in calls for some reason?
Just wanted to get some feedback to see what other people are experiencing.

Which app were you trying to send it through? And no, there is no new law that would stop this.
Is it possible you were on wifi when you were trying? From what I understand Verizon devices will not send picture messages over wifi, they have to use the network.
Stock LG messaging app, stock dialer. Rooted device and that's about it. I noticed I actually do not need mobile data on to send and receive picture messages normally (not in a call) so I typically leave it off when I don't need it for data.
My setup when I tried was WiFi on and connected to my home network, mobile data off, and phone call present. Would not allow me to send the picture. I'll try it with data on later and see if it works.
Didn't think it was a law, Which is good. May be that the data was off. And yes Verizon phones do not send pictures through WiFi they do need mobile data for Verizon services (text,MMS).
Well weird.. Called my voicemail and sent a picture message to myself and it went through both with data on and off.
Well I must have had another issue last night where it wasn't wanting to send. Weird thing is it sent after I hit try again and was off the phone.
Only thing I could think of is that the area I was at before typically gets less coverage (although still 4g).
So I'm confused but as long as it works I'll be happy!
Any solutions please update us

I the solution was found. Apparently a fluke issue.
Yes, seems something else was the issue there. I figured it was the call because that was the main thing I was using the phone for. If I get anymore info on this I will share.

Thanks a lot for your sincere efforts...☺
I have a Samsung Note 5 from Verizon. My friend has a Samsung S6 from Verizon. We both have issues receiving app related messages in Whatsapp, Line, Kik, and Skype. When the phone, I'm guessing its a sleep mode when you hit the power button when not using the phone, we don't receive notifications of texts until you open the phone and or start the app. It doesn't happen all the time but enough to make you mad. Also sometimes when the phone is even on. I'm guessing its the OS because of my friends doing it also with a different phone. The phones aren't rooted or anything. We are in good WIFI areas and its connected. Also I noticed if I shut off the WIFI and turn it back on the phone it will then receive the text. And no were not on the same WIFI, different states. Has anyone else had this issue or heard of it? Thanks for any help.
So i have had the vivo 5 for a couple weeks now. I dont like the app drawer did zenui and thats great. My next headache is the mms while on wifi at home. If i text anyone a pic or a group message while i am on wifi it does not automatically switch back to data instead it fails. I have to actually turn off wifi wait for it to send and then turn back on my wifi. Is there a setting i am missing or is this a bug in the messenger app? Can it be fixed in the short term till developers build custom roms for it?
Otherwise i love the phone. I have another question but will post it in a separate thread.
Mms working fine for me, might be my 3rd party texting app (textra). Try messenger or another 3rd party sms app, might fix the problem.
I downloaded textra. It did not work until I turned on T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling fix. This feature turned off my Wi-Fi while I sent and received mms and turned it right back on after. So awesome. So is there a catch with this app? Will I get lots of ads or what not?
I just got a Vivo 5 and i don't see that issue and i am on T-Mobile as well, is it possible some other installed app is causing the issue?
I'm also using Textra because of this issue.
Unlocked Note 8 on Verizon, I'm getting the same issue as S8/S8+ users. No comment from Samsung as of right now on the situation, just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as me? I haven't noticed any sort of pattern, just missing many texts from both single and group chats, and it doesn't matter the app. I just noticed today I am missing calls as well. The S8/S8+ issue is on all carriers and unlocked. Anyone else not getting their calls or texts? What model and carrier are you on?
I've had random voice mail, but one time I know of.

I'm having the same issue. I have a Note 8, unlocked, running on T-Mobile using the default Samsung messages app. I keep missing occasional texts from my wife's iPhone 7 and have now even missed a phone call or two. It seems to be random as some messages go through just fine while others don't. When testing at home, I can't get the problem to replicate itself. The iMessage issue doesn't apply to me as I haven't been on an iPhone in over a year and have received texts just fine until now. I had wifi calling turned on, but have since turned it off and that hasn't helped. I was using Google Messenger for a short time, but the missing texts are while I'm on the Samsung Messenger. I've changed the default text app off for Samsung Text and back on to see if that helps as some people have mentioned it. So far (last couple days), it seems to be okay, but since it's a random thing, it will take time to know for sure if it's fixed. Really frustrating as text is such a basic phone component and honestly I use it far more than making phone calls so Samsung needs to fix this ASAP.
I had issues when I had Advanced messaging turned on, it caused all kinds of issues for me. Mms wouldnt load, messages took forever to send. I turned it off issues gone. Not saying that is whats causing your issues but try turning it off in message settings see if that helps.

Well heres the thing. I am on At&t 950U. I flashed the unlocked firmware 950U1 and Adavanced Messaging is no longer in the message settings. But yeah go to messages/settings/ more settings(I think) you should see the option for Advanced messages, or its under the Text tab or MMS tab

Also the option for others to see when your typing a text...I turned that off also until I flashed the 950U1 firmware.

Yes I'm having this problem, missing texts mostly from my gf. I was Google messenger now back on default Samsung messenger seeing if that helps. I'll contact Samsung today. I went through my carrier troubleshooting (cricket) and I don't think it's them. Never had a problem on my s7 edge. Fyi have an unlocked note 8 from best buy
I tried switching from global to LTE/CDMA and I just found out I had a missed text from my boss this morning. This is not cool. Please can anyone help?
Are your messaging apps battery optimized/dozed? I would double check that.
I haven been noticing that I been missing a lot of calls and getting delayed text messages once in a while I am currently running on the t-mobile network here in the US. I have a one plus 6t as well and I tested it and I receive my calls with no one mention that my phone has went to voicemail. I have even performed a hard rest to see if maybe it was an app or a setting and still continues. Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Call log shows no missed calls and asked several people to text me with the time they sent out the text and it's delayed at times for over 30 minutes thanks in advance
I've had an issue similar, no one could call me until I call them first, Just went straight to voicemail everytime someone tried to call me.. I think it has something to do with the Wi-Fi switch because I turned off the Wi-Fi and turned it back on and it corrected itself. I could still receive msgs but where delayed until then.

Hi mate,
I had similar issues (at least with delayed text's) when locked. It was a battery saving issue, just make the Messages always run without power-saving option enabled.
Had issues with calls when Call over WiFi was enabled (enabled by default), disabled it and now works flawless (even with VoLTE).
Yea, been having this issue since I replaced my S9+ with the Mate 20 Pro.
My MintMobile SIM registers as T-mobile on the Mate 20 Pro. Most of the calls I don't receive and my wife says it goes to voice mail after first ring.
Where in the settings I can make adjustments to help eliminate this issue? Thanks!

I'm having the same issue on MintSim in the US. Messages seem fine but sometimes calls seem to go straight to voicemail. There is no calls over wifi setting on my phone as far as I can tell (and no volte) so I would be interested if there is a fix for this as well. I never had the issue with my P20 Pro but it's happened several times with the Mate 20 Pro.
I'm tempted to manually input the MintSim APN settings but since the signal is very strong with the default T-Mobile settings I'm not sure how that could help.
I'm using the MintMobile Ultra APN settings. If I default to the T mobile settings, mms don't work.

This only happens to T-Mobile and most likely related to WIFI calling, incoming calls goes to voicemail right away for me sometimes (both Note 8 and Mate 20 pro), but my wife on AT&T never had this issue

Strange. With the default T-Mobile settings mms works for me and my signal app shows a stronger signal than with the Ultra settings.
Which signal app are you referring to? For me, I usually have to turn wifi off for mms to come in or sent out. It doesn't work when the wifi is On, with either the T-mobile or Ultra APNs.

Hi everyone,
Did anyone find a solution to the problem? I still have an issue with text messages and calls. I'm wondering if I should get a new phone....
Actually I just found one. I believe it has to do with Wi-Fi calling being on. Normally this option is supposed to be usable under settings and mobile networks, but since I'm using T-mobile I find the option completely off the phone or so it seems. I downloaded quick shortcut maker from the Google play store. Once opened I just typed in the top search bar Wi-Fi. From there you'll see 3 icons, a phone, settings, and wifi. Select the settings icon, scroll all the way down. Now you should see 2 entries that read Wi-Fi Calling, select the first one, the click on the middle button that says try. Wifi calling should be enabled, just switch it off and that should be it. Attached some screen shots of the process so it shouldn't be difficult. I was going crazy when people said they tried calling so many times but not one I receive or messages that are delayed for up to 30 minutes. I hope this solution helps anyone in this situation
Wi-Fi calling on my Mate 20 Pro is grayed out. So that cannot be the case for me.
Yea, my wife gets very upset when she calls me. Out of 10 calls, just one will come through. She will leave a voice mail, and hours later I will get the notification.
Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk
You selected the first one? When trying the second wifi calling option in shortcut maker the wifi calling was greyed out and the slider didn't work at all
Same issue
I've been fighting with my Mate 20 Pro since the day I got it. I'm on T Mobile. Some calls go to voicemail, some calls make it through. It's hit and miss. I haven't been able to find a common denominator. There's also a cellular data issue with the phone. When streaming video, the connection will suddenly drop out. The phone shows good signal, but it loses data. Turning the cellular data off and back on again fixes this issue. I think the data issue may still be related to the Visual Voicemail issue that T Mobile has with these phones. I was able to get Visual Voicemail to work (mostly) but I think the data is still affected by the Visual Voicemail issue , albeit to a much lesser extent than then it was before. I've been in contact with T Mobile and they have no solution to this issue. They did a sim card swap for me, but the issue persists.
Same sort of problem here. I'm on a KPN business contract, have been for many years. Never a call problem with the mate 9 and 10 but if people call me on the m20pro they don't hear the dial tone so they usually hang up thinking my phone is switched off or something. This really sucks!
I loved the m10pro especially but the m20pro is not my friend due to the calling issue and the really crap LG screen.
I've posted this issue on T-Mobiles Forum in hopes of getting them to take notice. Here is the link.

So far this seems to be working but 1 day without any missed calls is still too early to celebrate.. Thanks for sharing what you found--the missed calls were driving me crazy.
There's another option that I disabled in Hope of fixing the call issue. I attached some images of what to look for. The option was enabled by default so just click on the slider to disable
