Why have samsung gone backwards with regards to the AOD on the 8 series of devices.
On the S7 edge you could have the AOD active, and additionally have a schedule of when you'd like the edge display to be active, you can't have both on the Note 8!
Its either AOD or Edge clock.
Is there anyway around this without root?
I've tried a few AOD apps and they're all rubbish.

I looked for a work around for this flaw as well but no luck. Not sure why Samsung went backwards on this great feature.
I did that using Tasker and Secure Settings.

Is the frequent contacts all I can do with the Edge display? I thought there were music controls. Does the ticker app only work with the screen off?
So far I'm highly disappointed with a feature with so much promise.

Night clock is pretty nice. Also the curvature just makes everything "pop" which I really have been enjoying. There's not much more than that, perhaps it will have some fun usage in the future but it's mostly "bling" and you should have known that before ordering one as it's been widely discussed before launch.
Like the above, did you not actually look into it? Why did you think there were music controls? That was never discussed anywhere, not a single article on the S6 Edge claimed it could do that.
Regardless, it's a brand new phone. Give it time. Right now it's limited to a handful of "edge apps" in the Galaxy store, but the phone is four days old. More will come.
I researched the Note Edge than this one. I just figured it would have some of the same features as the Note Edge. Why have a phone with 2 edges that do less than the phone with one edge?

The Note Edge is two separate displays. The S6 edge is one display.

Of course, but the edge can still be used in one fashion or another. Right now it has the quick access to contacts, but apply that same concept to media keys or something else and suddenly you've got a winner. Or just allowing third party development of screen off functionality.
Thanks for replying guys. I'll just wait and see what they come up with.

There are a few apps out there that I absolutely enjoy with the edge.
Smart task launcher
I have 6 hot spots set yo on the right side of the screen with contacts,bookmarks and apps
Edge color notificationI use this for incoming calls like edge lighting but can be used with any contacts and can change colors to whatever
smart launcher pro
It's a home replacement I like the app drawer pulls out from the left edges
There are more out there bust just for starter this is what I am currently using on a daily basis
How did you find those apps?

Where do you think, dude? The Apple store? Windows store?

Left myself open for that. I see now that the launcher thericksonebay was talking about has functions that slide out from the side, not that are specifically created for the screen edge. I'd be cool if I could just get a sports ticker, or maybe move the notification bar from the top to one side.

With Action Launcher 3 you can setup shortcut gestures. I swipe left to emulate Gnow launcher. You could have it pop open your app. You can also set "far edge display" and you literally have to peel it from the side of the screens.
Only launcher that got me away from Gnow. Highly recommend it.
Pretty neat app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3087377

This a neat app!

Hi,
I dont get option of edge lighting in phone calls. Phone is not listed in the app list.
Is yours working in calls as well??
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Well, as a matter of fact, phone or calls are not listed, but the four edges illuminate when a call is ringing, but, does not when a mail arrives... Odd
For me, calls do not invoke the edgeighting while calls come in.
Any idea how to enable it as I would love to see that.

I had the same problem but I report it to Samsung and they fixed with all apps but just with turned on screen. I report again and they says to me that Samsung engineers to fix that... ... ... I replied to then saying I bought a 1000usd cellphone so I expected to work just like features says.
If I have a new report or fix I will comment again.
Cheers
Hi all, is there any way to have the notitifications on edges like note edge. Means the running of complete message or whatsapp just like note edge.
If anyone know any third party app please let me know.
Thanks.

I havent seen something like it, only thing is an edge panel, but you must swipe to see the notifications
Hi folks I've never been able to get smart lock by location working on the note 9 exynos version. Having just compared to Note 8 there seems to be a setting missing so I've reported that its not working to Samsung directly and they are investigating. Feel free to log the same fault in the UK on 03307269000. The more who do, the greater chance of a fix.

It's Google that decided to remove this feature. I doubt that reporting it will change anything.

What is this mystery setting that's missing? I have a SM-N960F (Exynos) in the UK and Smart lock works fine, you just have to add your location a couple of times.
Never worked for me but note 8 works fine.

I made it forget it and re-added it a couple times and it still doesn't work. Not a huge deal, as I have it connected to my watch for smart unlock, but early mornings, late nights, or just lazy days when I'm not wearing the watch, it's annoying.

Just to confirm, you're adding the same location multiple times? It took me adding the same location 6 times before it reliably unlocked for me at home.
Has anyone gotten the edge lighting to work for notifications? Mine doesn't seem to do anything when enabled for SMS and Email. I'm using Google's Text App and Aquamail and neither lights up the edge lighting. I hate not having an LED light.

I thought it did with my S9 but that could be just me. I seem to always be fighting battery life with the S9. If they ever ship my S10, I'm hoping it will be better and I can actually use Edge lighting.

Yeah I'm curious.. I will be testing.. I noticed there are plenty of settings for the lighting... I'm usually around a charger anyway but definitely want to test it's impact...

It's the same behavior as on previous phones : it works only with incoming notification that turn on the screen ! So if it's not the case for your notification to wake up the screen, edge lightning won't work.
