I bought the phone yesterday and I'm not sure if I'm missing something in the settings but the screen wont wake when I get the email or notification (e. g. from IFTTT or Pushbullet). The Glance is disabled.
The Nokia 8 doesn't have the stock Ambient Display, in its place there is Glance, which works differently. It's "normal" that the screen doesn't wake up when you get notifications.
If you activate Glance you can see some notifications (call, mail ad SMS) by moving the device. Unfortunately at the moment it's very limited.
Glance is a good idea, because it implements a sort of partial always-on display, but should have access to all notifications.

I didn't know that's normal, thanks for the reply. I installed Glimpse Notifications so it's good now.

Although it shows time, is there a way to show date as well? Or some other method/app?
Thanks!
Not natively. You could use Tasker to post a notification when the screen turns off with the date, then clear the notification when the screen turns back on.
The issue with this is that you would either only see it when there are no other notifications waiting (Active Display "features" the most recent notification up top, and lists others below), or you could set the priority on the date notification to the highest level, which would force it to always be the "featured" notification on Active Display. This would essentially defeat the point of Active Display though, because all other notifications would be forced into the lower portion and not accessible via AD.
I know xz1 doesn't wake the screen when receves notifications, but what solutions do you have to wake up the screen when you receive notifications?
It's definitely possible, the messaging app LINE has an option to show notifications while hibernated. Based on this, I think it will probably need to be implemented on the app side, possibly with user granted permissions.

There isn't way to do it within the phone settings, but there are apps that will wake the screen
For some reason I am not getting notifications from one app except one time last night. it's enabled within the app and when I go to settings >> app >> notifications, everything is turned on. is there another setting somewhere I'm missing?
Anyone has any idea how to solve it? tried reinstalling, deleting app cache, deleting partition cache, but nothing helped.
YouTube Vanced is doing that to me
It's frustrating and I also noticed gmail doesn't always alert me of a new e-mail when the screen is off, even now I used the phone and gmail notification doesn't show at all. what is happening with this phone? never had this problem before.
GMail has been flaky for me on some other devices before.
I wonder if it's Samsung's "put apps to sleep" feature that's causing some of this.
I noticed the same thing after switching back from energy saving mode to optimized mode.
On the energy saving mode I only reduced the CPU speed but still no notifications, so I went back to the optimized mode.
Just checked the sleeping apps and my problematic apps aren't listed there.
I'm always on "optimized" power mode since I got it, I even put them in 'apps not optimized' but it changed nothing.
it's bad enough there's no notification LED but not being alerted when there's something new is a downgrade for me.
Since its on topic, any way to stop the stock messaging app from waking the screen with its notifications?

Try going to Settings >> apps >> messages >> new messages >> click on 'lock screen' & select 'don't show notifications'. do the same with 'General notifications' and see if it works.
I've found Pie very intermittent with app notifications count badges, from S9 beta to S10 now

I hope they fix it if it really is pie, the problem is I'm not getting ANY notifications from one specific app and I should be getting many a day.
I am having the same issue, hoping for a fix.

that stops the notifications from showing on the lock screen all together.
back on thread here - I was only receiving gmail notifications in batches and only when i'd wake the screen and unlock the phone. I turned off battery optimization and it seems to have corrected itself. Any app that you are not getting notifications for, make sure they are not being battery optimized.

Oh you mean like whatsapp messages wake up the screen, no idea how to change it to get a notification without the screen.
Yes I already tried placing these apps in the 'not optimized' list but it didn't change anything. gmail is still random & the other completely mute.

That thing to turn off battery optimization doesn't do a thing. Have never worked for any Androids I've had. It doesn't give instant notifications for apps not being optimized and the battery is not becoming any better if every damn app is being optimized either. I don't understand why the setting is there if it doesn't do a thing.
Does anyone face the issue that WhatsApp calls do not turn on the screen when screen is off? When I receive a WhatsApp call, I hear the ringtone, but the screen remains off, once I double tap to wake up the screen, I see the WhatsApp incoming call interface. Normally, incoming WhatsApp calls automatically turn on the screen and show the incoming call interface...

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
Do you have the navigation button on?

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.
So this is weird. I am not using dark mode. I removed Vivo.pem. I followed (I think) all the instructions to activate notifications. At the begginning my notifications come perfectly everywhere(I have it to light the screen when notification comes).
However, after a while or a few minutes the meesages still come but the screen does not light up nor does anything show on lockscreen. They do show on the dropdown screen and they do show on the app icon as well.
I use Nova usually, I tried with and without Nova to no avail. However when I reboot the messages show (sometimes) on lockscreen..afterwhich they stop. its like something blocks all notification to lockscreen after a while.
Did I miss someting in the instructions?

Set your lockscreen notifications this way . Than individually allow apps you want to show notifications on lockscreen . And you're good to go .
I do(I think).
It's not about the lighting of the screen per say,it's about the messages not showing(or screen lighting) after a while on the lockscreen. It becomes a clean lockscreen ..but when I go to drop down menu or check the badges on the apps they are all there.
Again it works sometimes at the beginning then stops populating the lockscreen
I don't know if it works for you or not but try these for the apps you wanna get the notifications.
1. Disable Allow smart notification control.
2. Enable the settings from 2nd screenshot.
ah..ok I see...will give it a shot

Mine doesn't have that option.
"Allow Smart notification control"
Mine doesn't either ..but I think that there is a general setting that says enable and disable which makes it not show on a per app level.
On another note..the messages all of a sudden started to show. And I did NOTHING DIFFERENT. I had the exact settings as in attachments.I had previously rebooted the phone like many times to no avail.
I know we're beating a deadhorse with vivo notifications, but man how can someone mess up something so simple ....and it's so hard to figure it out when you can't really replicate it .
I have this thought: If the notifications are still coming but just not showing on the lock screen, on Samsung phones (S21, S22....) also, it just notifies the app icon. notifications come in without lighting up the screen and showing a summary of what is being notified normally like other phones. I fixed it with a Glimpse Notifications software available on the Play Store. All incoming notifications will light up the lock screen and show a summary of the content like other phones
