[LG Watch Sport] krabman:
I tried putting in a short password and it took some doing because of the small keyboard, must have tried a dozen times to get it done. In hindsight I'd say I put the wrong password in the first time and then had to get it wrong again in order to have a match and have it accepted. Then when I went back and put in the right password it of course didn't work. I tried for a while to enter in variations but eventually gave up.

The fix is pretty simple and I imagine many know it but some might not so I'm putting it out here. The only way the watch can be restored to functionality if you cant get your password in is to reset it. This cant be done on the watch since you cant access the menu, you have to go into android wear to perform the reset. Open android wear, select options, lg watch sport, scroll to the bottom and you'll see unpair and reset. While your watch is resetting remove it from android wear and go into bluetooth settings, select the watch, forget it. Reboot phone.

At that point you're going to have to go through setup again, it's pretty easy with these phones so not a big deal.

Do not remove the watch from android wear while a password is set, you will not be able to access the recovery to reset it on the watch and you will not be able to connect the phone to it when it is locked down with a password. Make sure the watch is reset before you remove it from android wear.

One last thing, if you want to do better than a pattern IMO go for a PIN. Its fairly easy to hit the much less crowded numbers board compared to the on screen keyboard which is a trial at best.

Hope this helps someone, it took me more than an hour of screwing around this morning before I figured out where the reset option in android wear was located.

So Neither the Verizon Glass cover or the zagg cover works. Had 3 different places try to install it on my phone. Touch Screen very spotty after install. What is everyone else doing now until they fix this problem in the covers?

I've gone glassless. Tried a couple from amazon and they both would fall off. Ther are no good reviews of them either.

Is the stock glass good enough to not have something on it?

Skinomi for me perfect protection and full coverage, yes I know it's not glass but offers decent scratch protection

I'm using this screen protector and case and it's a nice low profile design and I have no issues with touchscreen or the screen protector coming off. Very fluid design.

I went with this and it came out flawless. Can't even tell by sight it's on there. Says case friendly but I'm dubious. First time I put it in my TPU it lifted a tiny bit. Second time it was perfect. I think I might not have waited long enough for it to dry completely. Right now awaiting microSD before I put my SIM and SD card in it and start using the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] FluxionFluff:
I went to AT&T and asked them about glass screen protectors and he flat out said that if you plan on putting a case on the device, don't bother getting one. They've had no luck with installing them as the cases just lift them up, despite them being listed as "case friendly".

The only one that they had was the Zagg one. He said that I'm better off either going without a protector at all or trying to find one of those plastic ones. I'm not surprised by his statement as I've seen numerous people here complain about how difficult it's been to find one that'll work with cases.

Oh, so in the meantime, I'm going naked with the screen and using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] popokrew:
Bought one on Amazon before I got the phone. It had no reviews. I got the phone but haven't tried the glass screen protector yet. Went back to Amazon and all bad reviews now. I'll see if I can return it, I'll probably go without a protector, I think it will take a lot to scratch the glass.

[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] imekul:
I have a Sprint LG G5, and it looks like I'm having some bootlooping issues. The phone keeps restarting itself. It will often get to the lock screen and ask for my password (it's encrypted). If I enter the password in time, the password prompt will go away but I'll just see the yellow spark animation on the black background, and I'll never get to my home screen. Ultimately the phone will reboot itself. If I just let the phone sit without entering the password, it will reboot itself as well.

Things we have tried:

Swapping batteries

Letting the phone sit for hours while turned off (in case it was overheating)

Clearing cache from recovery mode

Rebooting into safe mode. Pretty well the same behavior in safe mode.

My main concern is retrieving text messages and possibly other app data that was not backed up otherwise. Any ideas on what I can do to possibly retrieve / extract text messages? I have the option to factory reset the phone from the recovery mode, and I know this could (potentially) solve the bootloop issue, but obviously I would lose the text messages.

Would appreciate any suggestions!

[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] DizturbedOne:
Exactly how mine died. got it running again but now it gets really hot, acts laggy, won't take a charge unless I bump charge it a bunch, won't fast charge. On my 4th phone that I cobbled together from 3 other failing G5's. The thing is unreliable junk. Tried to use it as a backup when my wife's Note 8 died, and of course it crops up with all these issues when it was the only G5 we had that worked (except light bleed, crap GPS, and the occasional random reboot) LOLOLOL ☠ the G5. *rant over*

Dude, when mine was doing this I let it sit over and over for a few days at a time and kept trying to boot it into safe mode. if finally worked and I bump charged it for like a half hour (had my son do it LOL) and after roughly 20 tries it finally started charging. From there it was acting laggy and weird so I was frantically killing all of the processes and when it finally cleared up enough to run kind of decent I was able to just let it charge enough to update it. Now that the updates are done (I accidentally went one too far and got ZVC though dammit) it still does the weird charging stuff but is running smooth again for now.

After many problems with apps crashing etc. Especially DJI Go 4, a scary thing with a drone at 400 feet! I already had Fastboot and ADB installed. I downloaded the recovery for 1.5 from Nvidia and ran Flash-all.bat. All appeared good until it came time to boot.

I got the screen "Android is starting... Optimizing apps" as it counts up to 123, flashes "Unfortunately, the process andoid.process.media has stopped", then it reboots and then starts over. Again and again and again.

The bootloader is unlocked, fastboot still works. For some reason the font is now tiny on the K1??

Ideas?

If you're down grading I'd say a factory reset is the fix. It should have happened with the flash, but you never know...

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Opman711:
I've tried everything on my Sprint variant S8 and the edge lighting notification will not work when the screen is off. Yes I have all notifications set to yes with edge lighting set to When Screen Is Off and I even reset my phone entirely with no luck. All I get when I receive a text is the notification sound with the flashing LED. I also tried Screen Always On and still no edge lighting. Is anyone else having this problem? Also, the lock screen doesn't come on for a few seconds showing the notification say like it would on the iPhone. Anyone with the same issues or resolutions please help !?!?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] spinkick:
Which app are you using for the text messages? Edge lighting only works with some of the built in apps for now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Opman711:
I'm using the default Samsung messaging app. It is check marked in the Edge Lighting notification apps

Edge lighting works when the screen is on but nothing when it's off

I thought the same. I can see it very quickly with Samsung messaging, but vzw message+ I can't see it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] HelpNeededTech:
Ive noticed the same thing. It was troubling at first, but with a little fiddling around I seemed to have found the fix or problem. The screen on in pocket sensitivity is the part that's preventing the screen to turn on while in the pocket...this also includes the edge lighting when the screen is off. So the fix is here (for me at least)...

Settings---Display---*scroll to bottom*--- Keep Screen Turned off---Uncheck

Hope that helps some of you. Made an account just for this comment since it's impossible to find the answer so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Opman711:
Thanks helpneeded... tried your suggestion but still no edge lighting when the screen is off :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] richierich118:
I believe edge lighting only works when the phone screen is facing down . When you put your phone on the table put the screen down and see if it works. That's how it is on my 6 edge plus, I have that and the s8
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Apollo_316:
I found one sure way to make edge lighting work for everything..bear with me though. This is retarded and ultimately this is a broken feature on the Samsung S8.

Go to the play store and buy..yes, buy "Edge Lighting" by Edge Design. The free version won't work. You are welcome to test other edge apps but this is all that worked for me. Install the paid version of Edge Lighting and set it up by enabling notification access. From here, don't bother setting any settings up in the app, they don't work yet. Irony. Somehow, edge lighting kicks the Samsung lighting into gear even though neither app works by themselves yet. Now telegram, hangouts, calls, everything..works and shows the Samsung edge light. Face up, face down, screen on or off. It all works. Don't ask me why this works..I truly don't know. Let us know your results if you guys try this or other apps. Again, samsung needs to fix this. Its half baked because it doesn't even work with a full factory reset. I'm using verizon s8 btw. There is NO customization of colors yet. All notifications are a light blue for now. Nothing we can do about that yet.

Disclaimer: I absolutely promise I'm not trying to advertise their app or make them sales. I paid for this edge app and one other (purple app icon on the play store..I forget the name but it didn't work like this one did) for my S7 because I wanted edge lights for any app I wanted, and the color I wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] HelpNeededTech:
Nope it works for any way you have the phone. There maybe another setting for you that's causing it to go crazy. Anything that can effect the screen effects this notification style...it's tricky to say the least.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] qwertyuiop89:
Edge notifications don't work for me either - this is really disappointment. Does Samsung not bother to TEST its phones, before it releases them??
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] smith3021:
I had the same issue. I turned the feature completely off, then restart your s8. Go back into the settings and turn the feature back on selecting when you want it the feature to work. At this point restart your s8 again. Double check the feature is still check marked. This worked for me and the edge lighting works for me at all times now
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
As they say, RTFM. ;) Why would you need the Edge Panel lighting while the screen was face up; you'd see the notifications on the display. The S7e and Note7 worked the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
The manual is wrong.

Thats new in the S8 - Edge lighning is also working when not face down!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
The german manual is right here.

It says that the EDGE lightning (Seitenlicht) lights up when there are new notifications AND if the device is face down and a call is coming
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
You realize you're saying the exact same thing the U.S. manual is saying? Edge lighting works with more than just calls though and you can set which apps trigger it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
I mean that it does also work when the phone is not face-down
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Best01:
I had the same issue, use glimpse notifications from the Plat Store and it will work
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Opman711:
Face down and restarting phone after switching feature on/off still not working. So weird the edge lighting works while the screen is on just not while it's off. Oh well, no big deal, thank god for the LED. Now we just need a hotspot hack ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
@ Best01

How did you use it?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Does it as in has anyone seen it work that way? Mine only works face down and I have "always" checked. My S7e behaves the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Opman711:
Here's a video of it working face up. I've tried it face down in a dark room, didn't work either. Also the notification the shows at the top of his screen in the YouTube video doesn't show up on mine either.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Opman711:
I'm on the US Sprint variant G950U Qualcomm
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Opman711:
Anyone know the best way to let Samsung know of this issue? Should I just go to Sprint and get a replacement? Kind of a big deal to me not to have notifications on the lock screen
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] BarryH_GEG:
You're right - I just tried it again. I'm using the blue/black live Infinity AOD/lockscreen/wallpaper combination and the colors they use make it hard to see the edge notification when it's running because it too is blue. It's Much different than the S7e and Note7 where it was just the sides of the display that illuminated and the lighting was much brighter.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Best01:
Just install app and choose which apps you want to turn on your lockscreen when you get a notification
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
then if a notification comes in the lockscreen is turned on AND showing EDGE lightning?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Best01:
The edge lighting goes on and a notification icon appears at the top of the screen
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] garion521:
Thanks, following your steps I was able to get it working. The edge lights up on incoming sms even when device is face up and screen-off. Sucks that the lighting only comes on briefly before going away though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] redvalk56:
I tried this (the "hack" of buying the Edge Lighting app)....and it did get my phone to at least work for incoming calls.....IF.....the screen is OFF....and ...the phone is sitting face down. Even though i had the Edge settings to allow it to light with the screen on or off.....mine ONLY works ....so far....on incoming calls (again, with screen off and phone face down)....and....if i change to the Samsung Message for text....it will work also for incoming texts....again....if the screen is OFF....and....the phone is down. It won't work for Verizon Message+ (which is what i usually use)....nor any other app .....so far. So it's kind of limited.

I'm hoping eventually they'll release an updated OS that will "fix" some of these issues....and allow you to use Edge Light alerts with other apps (as advertised)....and with the screen on or off (as advertised). Doing some research....I see there's been confusion for a couple of year (when looking at old posts about S6 and S7 versions of the phone that had Edge Light alert capability)....as to whether or not it's supposed to work with the phone sitting up (verses face down). Some claim you can set it to work in any situation, many say no....the phone HAS to be face down. So far, mine has to be face down, screen off....and then, either the Samsung Message app (for texts) or a phone call. Emails and other apps do nothing.....no edge alerts/lighting.

I also went to a Corporate Verizon. They listened to me about this....looked at the phone for a few minutes, and basically.....shrugged their shoulders and said "works as far as we can tell"............... Oh, they agreed no doubt that SOME "bugs" will be fixed with future upgrades/updates of the OS (and....hopefully.....get the Bixby assistant finally working too!)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Apollo_316:
Thanks so much for your post redvalk! This should help others too. And yes, Samsung needs to fix this asap. I do have some other apps added in Edge Lighting from the play store such as Telegram and Hangouts. Both these work so perhaps add verizon messages yo it and see if this gets your lighting working? Also mine does work face up and face down screen on or off. I can't explain why that's not working for you but hats off to you for taking a dive and trying this. I hope this is fixed soon. And for Pete's sake we need options to change colors. Blue wallpapers make this semi-working feature useless.. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] zdeev:
I've had mine actually work with a regular text message, but it won't work with Whatsapp. Which is kind of a big deal if you ask me. Also it seems that the edge lighting only comes on once, and then goes away again. No idea if that is normal behaviour but it kinda defeats the purpose for me :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ilordvader:
Thanks bro

did as you said but i only get Notification when screen is on for now

nothing when screen is OFF :(

I even uncheck this but still nothing :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] akira888:
Hi folks,

There was an over the air update for me last night. After that, my edge lighting is working now, both when screen on and off.

Before it never worked.

But I guess the compatible apps are pretty limited though. For me, the stock message app works. WhatsApp doesn't.

Haven't tried the other yet.

Under the edge lighting setup, there is an further option for quick reply. In there, it kinda implies, the situation of when people saying faced down, then working, is for this quick reply scenario. Check this out folks.
