NOTE 10 EDGE LIGHTING

[ndl0072003]

Please assist why I dont see my phone, messenger and clock on the available app on Edge Lighting? It will only light on messages, and whatsapp. Also, the "Show notifications" of my phone app is grayed out. Thanks

Hi @ndl0072003,

If the apps aren't showing or are greyed out, it means they do not support notifications for Edge Lighting.

In the case of the phone application (I assume you mean the app you make phonecalls with), it's not supported because there are no push notifications. Instead, there's one notification that doesn't get pushed in case of a missed phone call, and the rest the app does is giving you phone calls. The latter doesn't count as notification. However, in the app's setting (assuming you use Samsung's default app) you'll be able to make the incoming call window much smaller and in the position of edge lighting. 

In the case of the clock: there are no notifications either, just alarms.

In the case of Messenger by Facebook: their notification system isn't open for changes (they have programmed their notifications to show quite oddly to be able to give you their message heads) and is therefore not able to be recognized by Edge Lighting.

Thank you for your quick reply, Kevin. Very much appreciated.

I wish someone could show me how  to make the incoming call window much smaller and in the position of edge lighting. 

About the clock, I meant the alarm itself indeed. I wanted to put it on the Edge Lighting but it's a pity it isnt one of the Note 10 feature.

That's through Phone >> Setting >> Call display when using apps >> Mini pop-up. You'll still get a full screen call when your screen is off, but at least you won't get disturbed when you're using the phone; the screen size in use is just a bit over the size needed for the edge lighting pop-up.

Edit: this is assuming you already have the Android 10 update, since you're on the Dutch community and it has rolled out over here. In case you don't have it, the option will be available after you get the update.
