Here are the common Galaxy S6 Edge problems that we’ve discovered and the possible fixes for some of these issues.
1. How to Fix Galaxy S6 Edge Notifications Not Working
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge notifications are a potential problem out of the box. Samsung includes two ways to look at notifications, and only a limited number of alerts appear as a push notification without the owner swiping on the edge of the phone.
If you do not get any Galaxy S6 Edge notifications you should go to Settings -> Edge Screen -> Select notifications. Here you need to make sure that the Edge notifications are on for the apps you want. Samsung limits the notifications, so if you want to see more you will need to turn on the Information Stream.
Go to Settings -> Edge Screen -> Information Stream. On this screen, you can select the feed that shows your notifications from the Notification drawer on your phone. The briefing option will allow you to see all your Galaxy S6 Edge notifications. To see them, you need to swipe up and down the edge of the screen to see them, so it is not a notification that will alert you.
2. How to Fix Galaxy S6 Edge Features On Wrong Side of Phone
Depending which hand you hold your Galaxy S6 Edge with, the Edge features may be on the wrong side of the phone. You can change the side of the phone where Edge features show up in the settings so that you can access the features quickly no matter if you are right handed or left handed.
Go to Settings -> Edge Screen -> Edge screen position. Then select the side of the phone you want to see Edge features. This option will change the setting for all the options including notifications, call alerts, and the night clock.

If the previous options do not fix the problem, try to restart your router. In most cases, you just need to unplug the router from power for 30-60 seconds. You can try the same tactic with your modem, but if the modem is the problem other devices will likely not connect either. If problems persist, you can try to update your router firmware by searching for you router name and instructions.
For users who still experience connectivity issues, go to WiFi -> the network name -> Forget. After you do this, you can reconnect by entering the password again.
If all else fails go to WiFi -> More -> Advanced -> then turn on Always allow scanning and Keep WiFi on during sleep.
