Edge Lighting

Hi there

Can anyone tell me why the edge lighting only works with sms messages (text) and not whatsapp ? I have tried everything, thought it dint work at all, till I got a text, who send those anymore, nobody I know does. The only time my phone get's a text message is if a transaction goes through my bank account and I get a notification. I want it to light up the screen when I get a whatsapp message, seeing as I get like 100 of those in a day

And maybe even an e-mail, or a Facebook notification, I want it to light up every time my phone get's a new notification, all my notifications are set up in the settings...those I want to get notified from and those I don't... but the edge lighting never comes on, unless it's a stupid text message ?!?!?!!?
 
Why would you want it to work when the screen is on, I want it to light up my screen, when it's off... when my phone is just a black screen on my desk, then when I get a message, i want the edge of the screen to do it's thing. And also, not when my phone is screen down on my desk... I NEVER put my phone screen down on the table.
And we in South Africa do not send text messages through the stock app, our whole lives run off whatsapp messages.
That's when I want it to work, when my screen is off, and I get a whatsapp message... can they not make this happen ?

It's supposed to work with the screen off from what I can tell in the settings but it doesn't work that way.
 
I know... Its very frustrating when you know something is supposed to work.. And it doesn't... Maybe it only work with samsung apps, like the text message one... But then they must say so... And change it!!!

Re: Edge Lighting

Done it.. About a million times... Just not working. Does yours work... When your screen is off?
 
Re: Edge Lighting

Ah ok.. You've done all the right things then. Perhaps a cache partition wipe?
Mine is unlocked aussie model, SMG950F...
This shouldn't be a régional variation tho..
I'll double check mine to make sure it's working again!
 
Re: Edge Lighting

Well, it seems mine isn't working either. There is something about that it may not work on some apps..

Re: Edge Lighting

That is such a pity... Thank you for all your trouble... Wish there was somewhere or someone we could contact or write to so they could fix this

Check this setting as well. Mine gives me a notification at the top of the screen plus the edge lights up yellow for messages, green for whatsapp and blue for TypeApp (my email client) AOD is on. N950f

Re: Edge Lighting

My settings are the same, and my phone model number
Why does yours work but not mine, I'm also with Vodacom...now it's going to bug me even more
I thought maybe it was not working cause the peeps overseas have a different phone model or something
