In my settings I see Puzzle Lock. It was checked by default and I've since turned it off. I've not noticed a difference on/off so what the heck is it for?
When you have a notification (text message email etc) and you go to unlock your screen there will be a puzzle piece on the unlock screen and you can slide the piece into place on the screen to go directly to the notification.
When you get an SMS then the unlock screen will have a puzzle piece on it that you can swype into its hole (visible on screen) to launch directly into the SMS app. If you don't want to go to the SMS app, you can do a normal sweep unlock.
Does the puzzle piece only works for the stock messaging app? I am askng because I have handcent and it never works for me
I've never seen puzzle pieces for missed calls, emails nor text.
I'm running smspopup because I needed something that would annoy me more than once like the default notification.
Is anyone who is using the stock messaging apps seeing the puzzle lock screen for anything other than text messages? If I get a Google Talk message or a G-Mail message, the puzzle lock screen does not show. Only shows for texts.
It's not that big of a deal, just seems like a bug on my end.
i only get it for texts. i wish it worked for emails etc.
It's for SMS and missed calls only, through the stock apps only.
Works for me for texts and calls...dunno about emails because I only use touchdown...i presume it only works with stock apps though

My screen goes back to sleep after a notification when it's off. Maybe you have another app conflicting with it somehow?

The notification bar is unresponsive (cannot pull it down) when the phone is locked and I get an email or sms. When I immediately wake up the phone and try to pull down the notification bar it doesn't work. The 2nd attempt works.
Could somebody please try to reproduce this bug? Thank you.
Happens to me too; and I'm guessing you're using a different launcher?
When you boot the phone up without the SIM it is locked, and the launcher is hiding that.
Try force closing the launcher and you'll see whwhat I mean, there is a screen requiring your motoblur email and password.
Alright so I hadn't unlocked my phone yet this morning when I read your post. I unlocked it (new emails overnight) and swiped the notification bar down, no issues.
I don't know if this makes a difference, but I'm using the fingerprint sensor.

I don't use another launcher unfortunately. Everything is stock not even root access.

It only doesn't respond if you get them in that moment. You here the notification sound and then you unlock your phone and try to pull down the notification bar. When I get emails over night and I look at them in the morning it works.

I just tried this. Sent myself an email from gmail to work email (I use the google email.apk, not the moto blur for exchange). Phone was in my hand. When it dinged, I unlocked and notification bar worked.
THen I tried the same with exchange to gmail (motoblur gmail), and the bar worked again.
Do you use the fingerprint sensor, or is it locked in any way, or do you use the slider without password?

As a followup... I disabled the fingerprint sensor and tried this with the normal lock screen. Both the gmail and exchange tests worked

Thank you I still have this problem after a factory reset. I use the normal lock screen without any pin or pattern. I's weird because to me it looks more like a software problem but I have no idea why some devices don't have this problem.
I bought an LG G2 yesterday after changing my mind and not buying a Note 3 instead. It's the T-Mobile version in black (fingerprint magnet, no white ones in stock unfortunately). I'm coming from a Galaxy S2, and everything feels amazing compared to it. There's one thing I don't like, and that I can't figure out... When I get a text on my LG G2, the screen lights up, every single time. I'm a pretty heavy text user, and I average about 10,000 texts a month. Sometimes I'm in a lecture and I can't text back or use my phone, but it's sitting in my pocket with the screen on wasting my battery and opening up all kinds of apps. How do I disable this? Thanks.
I know you can change text apps that have this option.

If you are using the stock TXT app. Open the App/hit button for the menu, then settings/notifications. you should be able to do what you want there.

That's what I tried, but there's nothing about the screen in there.
I have notifications enabled, new message pop-up enabled, preview enabled, notification sound (text ringtone), vibrate set to always, and repeat alert set to every 2 minutes. Besides those settings, there's nothing, and none of them control the screen unfortunately.

Cant you just on click "notifications display message notification" ??
I'm using the app SMS pop-up to manage all my SMS notification.
The stock app has it's notifications all turned off.
As for SMS popup, there is a setting to keep the screen off when SMS is received.
Well.. I don't like the screen to turn on as well (I don't use any lock screens) and also, I like the pop up feature.

It's just a check box, so if I uncheck that box, I don't get any notifications.

Although that's not the optimal solution, I guess it'll have to do. I'll try that right now, thank you for your help.
Hi,
The notification led is only working randomly...
Sometimes when i get an sms (missed call...) the led is blinking, sometimes is doesn't
When it doesn't i push the on/off button to power the screen and see the 'bell' having a notification (as i did know of course ).
So when i push the on/off button once more to power off the screen, the led is blinking as it should have...
Anyone has this issue too ?
Install glimpse notification and will always see led notifications blinking at missing event(whatever call,SMS,email,viber)

You even have option for double tap to sleep from lock screen if you want with this app.

Thanks for the tip. Will try it when no solution is found
Still, my other phones work quite well on this matter...this phone has its moods on notifying.
So question stays : has anyone have this problem too ?

Keep in mind that one more reason for using it not only at Axon but previous phone is that I have the option every time receive any kind event the screen wake up automatically and stay on for 5 second and then turn off automatically and begins the led always blinking until pick up and see the event.
If you having the device at jeans pocket there's a option not wake up the screen but only blinking the led notification.
Many manufacturers don't have that option that's why for me is must have app.

Is indeed right !
Some issues like : wake up screen automatically when receiving, not seeing 'what' i did miss unless i tapp on the horrible 'bell' thing...could have been better for sure ! Or at least customizable.

Yes it's bit of annoying but for that bug or better a bad ZTE feature the only solution is third party lock screen replacement like next lock screen.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.next&hl=el
It works great also with glimpse notification.(only the double tap to sleep feature not working with next lock screen)
Or just we have to wait until ZTE make the bell optional.

Glimpse notification is a help but next lock screen for me it wasn't (not always working correctly too)
Now i am using a simple app called NiLS Lock screen :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roymam.android.notificationswidget&hl=nl
It is very simple and effective. No layover over the existing lock screen, so another swipe to go to the stock lock screen is not necessary.
Also you can tap left on a message to delete it, go to the app. etc...
The good thing f.e. is when you delete a message like gmail with this app, the message is also effectively gone in gmail, so you do not have to do this action twice in gmail. For other apps the same benefit i think.
Just give it a try too

I'm not sure if this is only me or not.
I got my phone for abour 3-4 days now and I noticed that some app notifications don't come through. For instance game notifications that something is happening in the game that I was getting on my previous phone don't appear at all. I also have a Series Guide app on my phone that notifies me with new episodes of the series that I watch daily but now I don't get these notification unless I open the app and then all them come together.
Sometimes viber doesn't pop up at all. E-mail (using Inbox Google) seems to be fine.
I checked all settings (wifi is on Always on) apps permissions etc. Nothings seems to be out of place.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Check in settings - clear background app
And add your app to the white list.
This is the most useless and annoying 'feature' on this phone. Hope elephone removes it or allows us to turn it off.

Hey guys.
Just got my new S10+ and I've notice that when my screen is asleep, I don't receive any notifications until I either lift the device or push the power button to wake it up.
I've checked my battery optimization settings, made sure the apps I wanted weren't controlled in the background
I have the regular S10 but I get that too, mainly with gmail but even now when I used the phone the notification of a new gmail doesn't come up. sometimes they come through, half the time not. never had such problems with my old phone
yep, same thing here on 10+. driving me nuts !! and edge light doesn't work as well.
i tried every option and can't figure it out what's the problem.
I also have never seen the edge lightning when the screen is off

It's pretty cool. I like how when are In a movie app you can still interact without leaving the movie app.
But to clarify mine is working with the screen off. Dumb question I know but are you sure it's enabled?
To me this is one of the coolest features of the device.

You have to be more specific with your issue... But, go into your message setting and make sure message pop up is turned on. If it's turned on, it could be a glitch. Just go into your your phone's settings, hit apps, find messages and then tap on it. Then find storage and hit Clear cache and storage. See if that helps.

Yes, pop up setting is turned on but with gmail is a hit or miss, sometimes I get notified, sometimes not and it's mostly when screen is off. my main problem is with another app that I'm not receiving any notifications even though everything is enabled and I cleared cache, re-installed and what not. I have no problem getting notifications from whatsapp, missed calls, sms etc.
Also, when I clear the notifications, the badges on the app's icons also dissapear even though I didn't yet go inside the app to see it. is it possible to keep showing the badges after I clear the notifications? I don't know if it's unique to android pie but it shouldn't be like this.

I believe that the pop up messages only work on certain applications to my knowledge. I've seen messages come up but, I've never really payed attention to my gmail yet because i usually get notified on my galaxy watch. The phone is still too new even for me. I'll test it out some more.
I'd just be happy to get all notifications from all my apps and keep badges even after I cleared the notification.
yesterday i saw edge light for first time, but it only works when screen is ON. what really cancels the purpose of it.
screen OFF "edge light" doesn't work.

Yup, the feature is enabled, and I have assigned 6 apps to show notifications with the light. They do work when the screen is on, but not when they're on.
I got workaround by installing Glimpse Notification. The edge lighting showing while screen is off but what disappoint me it not showing the notification text.
My s7 with s9 rom showing edge lighting with notification text without using any apps though. I think maybe is pie rom? Or just s10 rom?
