there is already edge light notification built in - if you can find a way for this to work only around the punch hole - please come back and let us know

Go to 5:10 there is an option where it will only go around the camera cut out.
I don't have a S10 so I can't try it, but it seems like it's working properly in the video.

Did you even watch the video before you made that comment? There's no way to do what the video shows with an out of the box s10 model.
Awesome, finally having a way to know I got a notification without checking the phone all the time and the light will stay until I see it. I will try when I get home, Thank you so much! hopefully it doesn't take too much battery having it just around the camera.
Can you have it so the light only shows around the cutout and not the whole screen? What does that look like?

Yes, watch the video. I show that in there around the 5 min mark I think.
But this comes with a forced custom lockscreen right?
Dont want to have that.

Agree, wish this functionality was built-in by Samsung, rather than the security liabilities of the 3rd party app permissions.

It's not a simulated screen. It's my actual S10 and I'm doing a screen record. You won't get any clearer view that that or the other video on my channel

No, it does not! You maintain the OEM lockscreen. Nothing changes on your phone except you now get a notification light like I showed...either way.
Either this way

I would be nice if the camera edge lighting just works without having to switch to another "lockscreen". I like the native always on display. If the camera edge lighting just works with that then it would be even better.
Edit: Hmm just saw EVOme's reply above. Going to check that out!
Edit 2: So it looks like it still switched to another screen when camera edge lighting poped up. What I was talking about is just have the lighting show up while keeping it at always on display.
downloaded it to see if worked without AOD on and couldn't get the notifications permissions to stick. I gave up and uninstalled it.
It comes with its own AoD - uninstalled
He wants you to watch ads or buy to save settings - uninstalled x 2

Genuinely cant see why this is any better than edge lighting
Led lights have is a permanent light so you could see you had a notification, and also read for charging and green for fully charged
Why is just pushing edge lighting into the camera cut out being called led notifications? It just seems to me it should be called 'add on to edge lighting '
Unless we get a permanent led light then it's not led notifications as we all know it to be

Call it whatever you want. We currently do not have the option without using a 3rd party app. Edge lighting is mediocre at best IF you can even get it working. Would a Samsung solution be better, absolutely, but it's not there.
So why is the camera cut out any different to the edge lighting, or the notification lighting up?
The camera cut out lighting up then going off is not the same as an led staying on, sorry just don't get it.

Does anyone know how to get edge lighting working on Amy other messaging app besides the stock Samsung messaging application?
If be most thankful.

The messaging app that you want to work with edge lighting, does it not show up in the list of apps that you want notifications for edge lighting? It's not limited to stock or Samsung apps. Or do you have the app enabled & the edge notification doesn't work for it?

Go to edge light settings. Open allowed apps tab. Find your app there.
Slightly off topic, does edge lighting even work properly with screen off?

Just wanted to mention that I had the same results with the Verizon messaging app. That and I wasn't getting half of the notifications that I should have been getting. I like the app, but ended up going with the samsung message app instead. It works better for notifications and edge lighting.

Ah shucks.. That bites.. Lol.. Well, at least I know it's not anything I'm doing wrong.. I have been using the stock app, but I send a lot of pictures, and the stock one is terrible for sending pictures, at least on mine with its size restraints.. I can only send a single picture at a time..
But yes the stock one works flawlessly in my experience so far (save, sending pictures)... Lol

In the edge settings, look for advance setting. Make the width to wide. On defaultit can narrow that might be the cause of no lighting. You can different colors too.
The edge lightning also work with third party apps (like e.g. whatsapp or telegram) while screen is off. But only when you activate pop-up notifications into that apps. I think these third party apps using a different notification management that don't support the edge lightning trigger

Yes, that makes sense because I did enable pop up notifications.. It may be something in that particular app that doesn't work right with the pop ups.

wish facebook messanger would work with edge lighting.. i see snapchat works fine idk why fb messanger wont i dont like stock messanger tho
At beginning i also was annoyed because it don't work with third party apps.
But with screen on it works pretty good and now these ugly heads up notifications are beautiful small notifications while screen is on.
And while screen off, I would see the edge lightning only when I have the phone in front of me (e.g. on table)
Because it's only lightning a few seconds. That's why we have the led. Much more useful.
And as visual notification I have enabled "flash notification" in:
Settings - accessibility - hearing where it use the camera flash for notifications from all apps. That works great and you also can see it if you have your phone into your pocket.

I was struggling with the edge notification not working. I tried all the solutions in the videos/sites but they didn't work for me. Anyway I found a solution i though I'd share since i haven't seen anyone mention it.
Basically go check your developer options and make sure you haven't disabled animations scale completely. Make it at least 0.5 and edge notifications scale will work.
I always use to disabled animations and this is the first app well sys app that seems to need it enabled to function.
Anyway thought I'd share that little something. Peace [emoji111]️

i disabled developer options and put it to 0.5 and i still only receive edge lighting for only text messages. not for the other notifications i've selected
Hello. If you want edge lighting notifications for all apps, here is app which support it even with custom colors. It works by transforming old style notifications, to new style, so it shows edge lighting even with AOD. Give it a try.

Hello. Yes, it works with screen on and off. It works by grabbing old style notification, parse data end send new style, edge like notification so it uses samsung native notifications. It looks just like someone is calling you.
Still dont work.

Im used to the led light on my previous samsung phones. The s10 doesn't have one but people were asking samsung to implement the camera cut out light, others made apps and one that was interesting that was the AOD would activate only when there was a notification to open.
As im looking to switch to the s10, are there news on the implementation of the notification light or new apps? Do the current apps work well?
Thank you!
If you're only looking for an LED notification, Samsung has updated the Edge Lighting + settings within the Good Lock app to create an notification ring to display around the camera cut out. I have it set on my phone and it performs exactly to my liking.

I have read and seen videos on it when it was released but it only worked for a few seconds when the notification showed up and didn't keep "blinking" like the led/until you seen or open the notification. Its still like that right?
I'm not 100% sure about that. I rarely see my notifications right away and generally check my phone when I get back to my desk when at work.
Holey Light on the play store...
I have read that holey lights uses quite a bit of battery, i wanted something that didn't use as much.
There was this AOD app that would only show when there was a notification but i don't know how well it works

i can't seem to find a topic like this and it ****ing bothers me, why tf is nobody talking about the frontal led or whatever that is, so if you open the camera app and change let's say from back camera to frontal camera, there's a strip of light beneath the frontal camera that flashes, i've taken a closer look and it doesn't seem as a display thing, it actually looks like a proper led strip, why the **** can't we use that as our notification led? so far i've only seen it being used when you change camera modes, which is pointless, why not give an option to use it as notification led? and the second question, why the **** don't we have an option to change the back led's notification color? unlike some dude who said in another post that the led itself can't display different colors, i have no ****ing idea what phone is he using cuz mine has a lot of colors, like charging is yellow, calls are blue, messenger notifications are green, if you put on that flicker allong the song thingy there's the whole ****ing rainbow, so i know for a fact it CAN display different colors, now what i didn't get is why not having an option to choose what colors to display, like for example, change the calls to green and mess to blue? maybe someone can answer this questions to me cuz atm it seems pretty ****ing dumb to have the possibility yet not have an option to either use the frontal led which ****ing DOES exist but is used only in the camera app from what i can tell or change the back led's color which it CAN ****ing display yet there's no option for it, and thanks, sorry for being a lil butthurt but damn dudes this drives me crazy
That's not LED, it's just onscreen animation. Dunno about your other questions.

The reason could be a lot of phones don't use a led anymore is disappearing like 3.5 jack.
Since my last phones where Motorola I don't have any led about 5 years ago, you can put on always on display the real icons of the app at least for me is better because you can really see what app is showing a notification and choose if you wanna check it or not.
Useless and agressive post. Build your own fu***g phone with all your f***g suggestions.
Could it be the proximity sensor? lol
I'm crazy about that switching-cameras led animation too dunno exactly why nobody is talking since it's goddamn beautiful. It seems that the animation is attached specifically to the front camera, because if you let the stock camera in front camera when leaving the app, when you return to the camera app, it triggers the animation as well (it works when in lockscreen too), if you use face unlock and do what I said before, the animation triggers as well. Perhaps we can see the option for that to become a notification LED as the developing scene for the device becomes better, but maybe u could express your idea in a much more polite and less agressive way lol

In the leaked videos, the user was able to show the homescreen with icons on the rear display. Was that any early MIUI version option only?
In the current firmware, it's not possible... Laybe later?
Anyway, I don't see myself using an app on it, it's really small for that, + it'd require UI changes from the devs...

I would like to use it to answer with speaker or decline calls. Also use it for quick responses to text.
I have noticed I can skip songs on the Spotify playlist when it's playing by accidentally touching the rear display
( I haven't found anything useful to do with it yet tbh and I hope they improve the functionality of it )
Ohh nice! As of now it's pretty early, I'm sure they'll add those little things during updates

I don't think I'm getting the red notification light on the rear display either like it shows in the Xiaomi presentation vids but maybe I just need to enable it somehow
I usually don't set my phone's with the screen facing downwards on tables anyway so it's got limited usefulness to me anyway whether it works or not

The latest update to the 'Rear Display' app breaks the red notification indicator as far as I can tell.
But to enable it/change appearance
go to settings>special features>rear display.

I'm on the EU 12.5.3 and I like it but I think I have no red light flashing on the back screen for notifications although it is enabled in the settings...
One of the issues is the rear screen can only stay on for 30 seconds max which maybe why people think the notification is not working properly ( because you would have to double tap to see it even if it is working properly)
And who likes to set their phone face down anyway? These screens are fragile and very expensive !
Honestly think they just had a screenshot of their home screen and made it the image I never actually seen anyone able to use the mini screen
Yeah they haven't ironed the kinks out pertaining to the rear display.
Out of the box, I had the red led indicator show up although it would be there even when I had no notifications.
I like it as a novelty feature but they really need to address the functionality bit.
