Hey Guys,
I have recently bought an S6 Edge and straight away found an annoying feature. The Smart Alert feature makes the screen go black and requires the user to switch off the screen and back on every time i pick up my phone!.. Of course I went to disable the feature, which it allowed me to do... But even though it is "disabled" it still does it!
Does anyone else have this issue? Is it a bug? What do?
i have the same issue

I just bought my Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant variant and I already have a serious issue where the display does not shut off after receiving a text message. I understand the display is supposed to turn on to notify me that I have a text message but then the screen stays on and does not return to stand by. I already experienced this today when my phone was in my pocket during a meeting and did not notice a problem until after the meeting and a good portion of my phone has drained. I have tried a factory reset as well as troubleshooting all the battery saver options. Has anyone else had an issue like this? And if it is a known issue or if someone can help me out I would appreciate it.
Go into settings and enable puzzle piece lock or pattern lock. It's kind of a glitch and these are the only known workarounds so far.

Ugh that is such garbage. I turned that puzzle lock off because it is useless and hated the aesthetics of it. Good job Samsung
I'v got a couple of things really winding me up with my S3 I wonder if anyone has a solution.
1) The stock SMS app doesn't seem to honour the vibrate style setting I have, I set it to heartbeat but text messages still use the looong horrible vibrate.
2) Why does the damn notifications toggles scroll EVERY time i open it? I'm used to very quickly swiping this and hitting wifi or bluetooth on or off and now I miss them cause it starts sliding to show me the other buttons that I already know are there!
I'm not interested in flashing non-stock roms and I'd prefer to stick with Stock SMS so just wondered if anyone had found solutions to these yet?
Hallo everyone,
I tried searching for an answer here on the forum but without success.
I recieved my S6 Edge a few days ago and found out about the Edge Notification lighting up when I recieve calls and messages.
But what stuns me is the fact I have to flip my phone and lay it on a surface before the notification light shows up.
What I would like to ask is, if there is a way to allow the Edge Notification to function when laying the phone on it's backcover?
I also use a different standard app. for messaging and emailing (hangout, Gmail), they don't appear to trigger the notification when I recieve a mail/msg?
Looking forward to hear from you guys

Unfortunately I don't know the answer, but I would like this too.. I never want to lay my phone on its screen lol
No, the edge lighting only works when the phone is faced down.
Hi
For those that have their phone already, do you have issues with notifications from whatsapp and edge lightning. I have setup my phone to have edge lightning come on when receiving new notifications. All apps work fine, just not whatsapp. Edge lightning is setup to always come on, but when the screen is off, then there is no notification from whatsapp. I get the sound, but no visual notification. When the screen is on, then whatsapp will trigger the notification. I have tried all combinations of letting whatsapp notify me etc, but no popup or edge lightning when I get a whatsapp when the screen is off. Ideally I would like edge lightning to notify me....Anybody having this issue?
change your whatsapp popup notification setting to "only when screen off". the edge lighting should work if ur phone is locked and faced up.
however when facing down, the edge lighting will not work anymore (probably the sensor is being blocked). i can't seem to find any solutions for whatsapp edge lighting to work when phone is facing down though.
For me, when the screen is blocked and I receive a WhatsApp call I have to unlock the phone to be able to answer. I guess it's a permission thing, they complicated things lately.

I will try the whatsapp setting....
so far it looks like it is working correctly...thanls
So how do you fix that? I have the same problem, and it is new; it wasn't that way until a few days ago, so something changed!
Hello there fellow xda-developer users,
I can use some of your advice with edge lighting. It's a cool feature but it requires app to have a pop up notification. When using WhatsApp on screen there is no problem, but if you're using it while screen is off, WhatsApp pops up your message like huge window on your screen. And this literally a violation to your privacy. I couldn't find a private notification for WhatsApp or off screen pop-up solution for edge lighting. Since English isn't my main language, I uploaded a video so I can show you what my problem is :>
Thank you for reading my problem, have a great day.
Edit: If I disable show pop up window option in whatsapp, it gives notification while screen is on but doesn't give while screen is off.
A bit old post, but recently got Note 8 and having same annoying issue. Edge lighting only works with that goddamn popup thing. I just want it to flash when I receive a message without having to see the message on big window when unlocking the phone. Anyone found a solution for this?
