Persistent notifications on lock screen and AOD - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I never noticed this on my S7E but now with Note 8 I get a persistent notification of Android system VPN and messenger bubble is active. I manage to make peace with it always being in notification tray but why now it's on my lock screen and AOD? This is just plain stupid.

Unlock phone swipe down the notification panel, then press and hold the notification and an option box will come up where you can "silence" the notification so it doesn't show anymore

Just go to Settings - Lock Screen and Security, then uncheck the option under the Lock Screen and Always On Display section where it says Notifications. That got rid of all notifications on the AOD and Lock Screen for me, and I have a VPN on all the time.

I know that, I don't want to remove it. By default at least on s7 edge all perssitant notifications where not showed on AOD. On NOTE 8 i see them on AOD ?

I have a S9+. I would like to have notification on my AOD, but not the Persistent ones. Any way to do that.

Get full notifications on lock screen

Is there any way to have notifications light up the display and show the notification details like they are displayed after double tap ?
Glance only shows tiny icons of apps, with no details at all.

You can use an app called lightflow, so it will turn on full screen when u receive notifications

Edge lighting not working

Hi,
just received my first Samsung yesterday and wanted to get the Edge Lighting working.
I enabled in the settings and also all needed apps like Telegram and Whatsapp are enabled inside the Edge Lighting settings.
Somehow this never works, with screen on or off. There's no lighting when a notification pops in from the enabled apps.
Is there any fix for this? I miss the notification light from my old P10 a lot and this seems to be the only way to have something in this direction on the S10, at the moment.
Before I've got the phone I was hoping Samsung enabled a notification ring around the camera.
Greetings,
Jannomag

Same thing here. Edge notifications not working at all.
---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------
Just checked and it does work when I get an SMS, but not when I get an email. And Gmail is activated as one of the apps that should light up the edge notifications.
Not working for me either
Edge Lighting has always had an issue with some apps with the screen off. You need to change Whatsapp settings to Settings > Notifications > Popup Notifications > When Screen off.
Same for any other app it's not working for with the screen off. It needs to have a setting enabled for "popup" or something along those lines.
Iam having the same issue. It will work if you select the popup notification within the app to 'when screen is off' but then the message is also displayed in a popup on the lock screen which i don't want! How hard can it be to want the edge to light up and for the notification contents to remain private.
I had the same thing with my S9, but if you read carefully in display > edge screen > edge lighting > show edge lighting > while screen if off, it says that it replaces notifications that "turn the screen on", and since whatsApp doesn't do this by default, you'll have to turn on pop up view. But here's the thing, I never thought of this solution before, I just installed "glimpse notifications" from play store, it basically lights up the screen if you receive any notification, I personally ignored all apps except for whatsApp, and made sure I enabled persistent notifications to dismiss battery optimizations, keep LED notifications to make it continue blinking, and delay screen-on to allow the notification sound to be fully played, all these can be found under "extras" in the app menu, they'll suggest you to do so as soon as you open the app, and Voil

Jannomag, you very possibly have seen this by now but, if not you might take a look at Chainfire's Holey Light app. Thread with info and link to Play Store listing is right here in S10 forum in Themes, Apps and Mods. It is a good third party answer to your wish for notification light around front facing camera.
I have similar issue with native Samsung Email v6.1.12. All other apps show Edge Lighting, but for native email using gmail / private / work account, no lighting for me. All notifications sound and vision are enabled.

lockscreen notifications

Do you guys have phone/messages and stuff notifications on your lockscreen because I don't and was wondering if it's a bug on my phone or a misconfiguration ?

Depends on what your settings are....I see mine fine but I know that doesn't help unless you're me.
So Here's what I have set:
For the Lock screen, the notifications are set to ON from the lock screen settings. That alone should allow you to see them.
I'm using the stock always on display (NOT the goofy app from the playstore), there's an option for Always on Display Alerts...within that I have set the Reminders ON.
I'm also using the Edge lighting and get notifications from that as well.

I mean, you can change it. Just go to settings > lock screen > notifications (not the toggle button, but press the banner itself), then on the view style option, change it to brief (no information shown, but banners shown) or detailed (which was default on non-pie phones).

Whatsapp notification problems

Hi all
I've just bought the Note 9 after managing to crack the screen of my Note 8, which was also on Android 9 and One UI.
Since getting the new phone, I've had some issues with notifications when the screen is off - Whatsapp doesn't notify, unless I switch notifications on but then I'm stuck with the annoying whatsapp pop-up, and it doesn't show up on lock screen notifications.
As well as this, I also have a problem with whatsapp when screen on, not showing all messages. It will either say "conversation: x messages" or "x messages from y conversations"
I had this working just perfectly on my note 8 but I'm really struggling on the Note 9! I hope someone can help?!

The pop-up notification can be disabled in WhatsApp settings > Notifications > Pop-up Notifications > No pop-up.
Check your lock-screen notification settings and then individual app setting of Whatsapp (new addition in Pie) and check if notification is disabled on lock screen.

Do you have many unread chats? Try marking some of them as Read.
If the notification is minimal, then the Message Notification (in individual notification setting) may have been set as 'Silent and Minimized'.

When I disable whatsapp popup, nothing happens, just the screen doesn't wake up at all when a whatsapp alert comes in.
Have checked app setting, which seems ok, and notification on lock screen isn't hidden

Hey, can I have the screenshot of the pop-up you're referring to? I think I may have confused heads-up notification with WhatsApp Message Pop-up.

Hiya,
in terms of the pop up issue, I've found something from the forum which seems to have restored it - disabling lightedge whilst screen on. I'm a bit annoyed about this as I quite like the effect, and it does disable it for all apps, even all the others which work perfectly fine, but hey ho!
My main issue really is whatsapp not waking the screen unless I turn on the whatsapp notification, and I hate that box lol
Thats the real thing I want to try and find a cure for if possible......

Notifications not showing on lock screen - NEVERMIND

So far my only pain point with this phone is that specific notifications don't show on the lock screen.
So far I can say Spotify and slack for sure
Is there a setting for this somewhere that I'm missing?
Running the ww rom on tencent phone
Edit: I figured out how to manually enable the lock screen notifications
Does it allow u to see what the notifications is? Are just the icon of it?
Do you see all the notifications on the lock screen?. Because i can only see the notifications of social apps(wechat,whatsapp,facebook..). other apps notifications i can only see them from the notification shade and not the lock screen( I mean no notification message or icon shown on the lock screen).

You have to enable it on a per-app basis by going to the notification settings for each app you want.
Not uncommon for Chinese phones

Yeah I have done that, actually you have to do it on the notification settings in the settings page, at the same time inside each app notification settings section.
