Samsung A55 edge lighting not working

[JoBrook10]

I just bought my A55 this week and it initially had edge lighting working with the default blue for every app. Now it doesn't work at all and I'm at my wits end trying to make it work 😭😭

I've tried soft reboot, toggling pop up notification (it is on), turning off reduce animations, and even the animation scale thing. Is anyone else facing this? Anybody got a fix?

@JoBrook10: Have you noticed if issue is persistent when the screen is both on, and idle/locked? If you head to Settings > Notifications > Notification pop-up style, is it set to 'Brief', and have you selected 'All apps' under 'Apps to show as brief'? Also, is 'Show even while screen is off' toggled on? 

[JoBrook10]

All of it is checked and the issue persists when the screen is on and when it's locked or idle. Have I missed something here?

The edge lighting shows when I browse through the different styles but doesn't work apart from it

Does this solution work for you?

Heyy, no this didn't work. I did try these out

[Robin999]

Thanks. I've been looking at all the posts showing others experiencing this, too. Most pointed to the 'reduce animation' setting. Sorry it didn't help.
Do you have any 3rd party apps or customisations installed? If so, they could be causing an issue with edge lighting. However, If not and you're sure you've tried everything else and you've made sure all other notification settings on your device are toggled on and none of them seem to be preventing edge lighting from appearing, then if it was me, I'd perform a backup and factory reset the phone.

Thanks for helping troubleshoot. I'll keep you posted on how it goes after I factory reset. Hopefully this works 🤞

[Robin999]

I hope so, too 🤞. Yes, please keep us updated.

Hey, so it's been 2 days I believe. So far, I'm happy to say the factory reset did work 😄
Hopefully the edge lighting keeps working as intended now
