Edge Lighting Issue, Anyone else experiencing this?

[Slimsta]

I'm so frustrated with my S25 Ultra, other than the Now Bar issue and no option for 'Sports From Google' to select from in Now Bar Settings, I have come across yet another issue, and it sits with the 'edge lighting' Having had it on for some time I made the decision to turn it off and even though I have selected the 'None' option in the settings it continues to illuminate when I unlock my device, I have tried everything and even tried changing the colour all to no avail amd remains on the 'blue' colour which was originally selected, never have I become so frustrated with a device until opting to purchase the S25 Ultra, I can only assume these bugs or blips will iron out in further updates, but I mean what's the point of having options in a state of the art device if you can't customise and change the appearance, I have screenshot 3 pictures to show an example of my frustration, complete reset is not an option for me, i have all my apps set up, my banking, and logins etc..is anyone else at all experiencing this issue?, it really is making me regret an early purchase of this device.

I understand your frustration! Since Edge Lighting is still showing despite being disabled, try these steps:

1. Restart your device (simple but often effective).
2. Check in Settings → Notifications → Brief pop-up settings → Edge lighting style, ensure it's set to None.
3. Disable Edge Panels (sometimes linked to lighting effects).
4. Boot into Safe Mode to check if a third-party app is interfering.
5. If the issue persists, report it via the Samsung Members app for a future fix.

Hopefully, Samsung addresses this in an update! 🤞

Hello Moe Abadi, Thanks for your prompt reply, to verify I have done all of the above and restarted numerous times and even powered down and restarted all to no avail, I've given up and honestly I am not enjoying my device one bit, it's just disheartening when paying out so much for a device that just doesn't work properly, I am genuinely considering changing my device and won't be persuaded in anyway to purchase future Samsung devices if they can't get the basics sorted, I'm not looking for any arguments here I've just had enough, it's a real shame.

I completely understand your frustration, and I’m sorry you’re having this experience. Since you’ve already tried all troubleshooting steps, the best option now is to report the issue via the Samsung Members app so the developers can investigate and hopefully address it in a future update.

Samsung does take user feedback seriously, and software glitches like this often get fixed with patches. I get how disappointing this is, and I truly hope a solution comes soon. Let me know if I can help in any other way! 🙏

Hi, Just wanted to clarify whether you get edge lighting for all notifications or just unlocking the phone? Could be worth checking whether you have any custom routines set up that could be doing this

[Slimsta]

Hi JerryS it occurs when I unlock the device, I dont think I have any custom routines set up, do I check that in the routines option?

[Tehki8]

Have you set a Routine to display the edge lighting when you unlock you phone. Check under Settings > Modes and Routine> Routine. Check if you have any routines configured which will trigger upon unlocking.

[Tehki8 · Accepted solution]

Check the unlock with finger print routine, this routine might have the edge lighting effect as one of the action when you unlock with fingerprint. Tap on the Unlock with fingerprint to view the routine setup.

[Slimsta]

Hi Tehki8 No Routines are set, have tried safe mode, restarting, and powered down and rebooted, and still doing it! So Frustrating.

You Absolute Star! Thank you so much! Solved, didn't even know it set that up in routine! Thank you very much!
One problem Solved, Now just to sort the Now Bar and 'Sport From Google' option which is not in the Now Bar Settings to select from 👍🏻
