Hi, I just can't seem to find a fix for this anywhere. When I receive a message my screen automatically powers on even if the device is in stand by in my pocket. Has anybody figured out a fix for this without turning off notifications completely? Thanks in advance.
What messaging app are you using?
Hallo everyone,
I tried searching for an answer here on the forum but without success.
I recieved my S6 Edge a few days ago and found out about the Edge Notification lighting up when I recieve calls and messages.
But what stuns me is the fact I have to flip my phone and lay it on a surface before the notification light shows up.
What I would like to ask is, if there is a way to allow the Edge Notification to function when laying the phone on it's backcover?
I also use a different standard app. for messaging and emailing (hangout, Gmail), they don't appear to trigger the notification when I recieve a mail/msg?
Looking forward to hear from you guys

Unfortunately I don't know the answer, but I would like this too.. I never want to lay my phone on its screen lol
No, the edge lighting only works when the phone is faced down.
Hey Guys,
I have recently bought an S6 Edge and straight away found an annoying feature. The Smart Alert feature makes the screen go black and requires the user to switch off the screen and back on every time i pick up my phone!.. Of course I went to disable the feature, which it allowed me to do... But even though it is "disabled" it still does it!
Does anyone else have this issue? Is it a bug? What do?
i have the same issue
My Edge's screen will turn on when I get text messages but when I get emails, it just stays black. I'm using the stock email app and I just can't see why it stays off!
Am I missing something obvious - my wife's S5 turns on for both with no problems at all.
Can anyone help please?
Hi
For those that have their phone already, do you have issues with notifications from whatsapp and edge lightning. I have setup my phone to have edge lightning come on when receiving new notifications. All apps work fine, just not whatsapp. Edge lightning is setup to always come on, but when the screen is off, then there is no notification from whatsapp. I get the sound, but no visual notification. When the screen is on, then whatsapp will trigger the notification. I have tried all combinations of letting whatsapp notify me etc, but no popup or edge lightning when I get a whatsapp when the screen is off. Ideally I would like edge lightning to notify me....Anybody having this issue?
change your whatsapp popup notification setting to "only when screen off". the edge lighting should work if ur phone is locked and faced up.
however when facing down, the edge lighting will not work anymore (probably the sensor is being blocked). i can't seem to find any solutions for whatsapp edge lighting to work when phone is facing down though.
For me, when the screen is blocked and I receive a WhatsApp call I have to unlock the phone to be able to answer. I guess it's a permission thing, they complicated things lately.

I will try the whatsapp setting....
so far it looks like it is working correctly...thanls
So how do you fix that? I have the same problem, and it is new; it wasn't that way until a few days ago, so something changed!
