I setup notifications to repeat, and I do get repeated notification sounds, but I don't get repeated edge lighting. I saw complaints about that on the S20, is it still impossible on the S21?

I think we've agreed that the screen is the biggest battery draw on this phone.
I am on the stock ROM, and my screen lights up whenever anything happens on the phone. Any notifications light the screen up. Email/text/etc screen comes on to display the notification in addition to the sound.
Is there a way to keep the sound, and notification in the status bar, but keep the screen from lighting up?
I get a ton of emails M-F not to mention text messages and I don't need the screen firing up every time I get one. Hearing it is good, but I'm sure I'd save battery with the screen forced to stay off. Incremental savings? Maybe. But every little bit, right?

I just discovered this when I flashed Unofficial. It has settings to disable the screen coming on when a text message arrives - at least it's a start, particularly if you get a lot of texts.

Is that setting not in the stock ROM?
How do you get to it in yours?
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.
I'm not sure why, but my phone keeps on getting popups for turning on my finger, it looks like the picture attached. Does anyone have a clue what app could be causing this?
I have a rooted Samsung S6 Edge running Android 6.0.1
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!
Is there a way to modify how long the pop-up notification from the Edge Lighting stays on the screen?
I find that even if I'm looking at the phone when it comes on it only last a few seconds at best and I can't pull it down to respond to it fast enough. Heck, I can barely read what app it's from before it vanishes.
