    has anyone got Edge Lighting to work for alerts on an S8?

    Verizon s8, it does not work. Turned it on to always. If you click on words Edge Lighting I set it to always and I have went into manage notifications at the bottom of that screen and turned it on for all apps. It does nothing. Have not tried the app. I'll wait for the fix.

    S8 / S8+ First Impressions Thread

    I've had mine for 6 days now and hate my S8. I'm going to see if I can return it. It's slippery as all get out, it's battery is no better at all and maybe worse than my note 4 even with screen turned down to HD, the swype typing is ridiculously bad, it's way to narrow, they removed the IR remote...
