Just upgraded from S6 to S10, got all my setting changed except 1. I use Message+ for texting. With the S6, when the phone was idle and a text came in, it made a sound and popped up on the screen and stayed there for a long time. I got it to where it pops up on the the S10, but it only stays for a few seconds. What setting am I missing to make the preview stay?
Why are you using Message+? Ugh...

I picked up a white 32gb s6 edge in my local Verizon store on Friday, and all was well. Today I noticed that the Edge Lighting feature no longer works. It's enabled in my settings and worked when I first obtained the phone. I tried restarting it to no avail. When I receive messages my screen lights up and shows the lock screen instead of showing the coordinated colours. This only happens when the screen is face down though, and the screen stays locked when it's face up and I receive a text. I tried turning the phone off and back on and switched the edge features from the right side to the left side and the first time I received a text the screen flashed on for a moment and then locked again and the edge lighting was turned on. It did not work after that, however, and I switch the features back to the right side. The screen no longer lights up when I receive a text when my phone is face down, and the lighting feature is still not working. Is there anything I can do?
I would get the device replaced.

Are you using the people edge? I had the same issue and I was able to get it working again. It is not an accelerometer issue. I disabled the people edge as soon as I got the phone since I figured I would never use it. After a day or 2 of using the phone I realized the edge lighting was not working at all even though it was enabled. What I did was re-enable the people edge, set a friend to a color and then I had that person text me to see if that was working, which it did, so at that point I was sure it wasn't a broken accelerometer as some users have stated. I then deleted that friend from people edge, (so that all colors were set to default) I once again turned off the people edge and then finally retested the edge lighting and voila! It worked. It must have been some kind of glitch that I reset by re-enabling the people edge and then turning it back off. It has been 2 days and I can confirm it is still working. I hope this might work for you too! Let me know!
First off I want to point out that this bug seems to be related only to T-Mobile S6's. I haven't seen this behavior on any other S6 other than multiple T-Mobile S6's.
So I have my lock screen set to lock automatically within 2 minutes, and to not lock instantly with the power key, with fingerprint security. Normally, within those two minutes, on any other S6 if you receive a text, the phone will turn on and give you a new message notification on a lock screen set to "swipe" to unlock; no fingerprint needed.
However, on the T-Mobile S6, if you receive a text within that 2 minute window, the phone will unlock itself to whatever screen you had locked it on. The phone will completely bypass the lock screen from standby, and display a new message notification on whatever screen it was last on. This is incredibly frustrating as sometimes I respond to a text, put my phone in my pocket and sometimes ignore new messages. And if those messages get to me within 2 minutes, I often end up pocket dialing them if I chose to ignore my phone. While I know that seems like an odd and specific scenario, its pretty common for me at work, and is the reason why every other Samsung S6 defaults to a "swipe" type lock screen to prevent that from happening.
I work a a major electronics department store, in the mobile department. Although we do not offer T-Mobile phones, I personally have a T-Mobile S6. I have never seen an AT&T or VZW S6 do this.
Any other T-Mobile S6 users noticed this?
Dear friends,kindly guide me to find 'tab' view of settings on my Note 5 SM-N9208,
Eventhough,I've switched S-pen alerts ON,I'm not getting any message or sound alert if the S-pen is kept out for a long time and the screen is switched off!
Different models of the phone have either a List View or Tab View for settings, and it seems like there's no way to switch it.
For the S-Pen, the alert you should get is, if you have the pen out the phone and you walk away without it, then the phone will alert you telling you're leaving the S-Pen behind.
Hello everyone,
Small issue. My galaxy note 5 as of yesterday would work ok. When I get a text that little window would appear and show a portion of the text and what it said. This morning I get texts and it shows up top in the notification screen but not the pop up like it use to. I have went into settings turned off tested back on tested. Restarted phone, powered off phone with the same result. Any ideas.
Hello note 8 owners
I have a problem with the edge lightning feature. It works great when screen is on. I also really like the small notification when its activated. (Much better as the standard heads up notifications.
But the edge lightning don't work when screen is off [emoji53]
I asked on a German forum and there the people also reported it won't work when screen is turned off.
So it only wrong work with German DBT CSC or it is a firmware bug?

Haha. Mine works when the screen is off but not when it's on.
Really? What the.....
Then you should be a lucky guy. When screen is on, this feature is nearly useless. Because then i see an incoming message.
now is the question: why is it the other way around you

No idea. I've tried all 3 settings, when it's on, when it's off, and always. No matter what it only works when it's off.
Actually, sms only works when the screen is off. I was configuring blokada, and it worked when the screen was on.
It doesn't work for gmail at all.
Turn the notiffication popup
Try to turn on pop-up notification from the application settings. I got the same problem, already turn the edge ligjtning to 'always'.
