Hi,
Open the messaging app.
Go to settings,notification settings,and untick preview message.

It's nothing to do with that, the lockscreen displays a big ugly grey bar stating you've got a new message or a missed call whenever you get one. It looks crap and I want to disable it too. I started my own thread a few weeks ago but got no response apart from replies like above which aren't the answer. Another one told me to turn notifications off, but although that stops the grey block on the lockscreen, it stops absolutely any notification of new messages, etc so isn't ideal really. There'll be a way to disable it with root access, but you could always install a different lockscreen to prevent it if you wanted.

Nothing under System Settings -> My device -> Lock screen?
- Multiple widgets
- Lock screen widgets
Also while on the lock screen, you can drag down and edit the widgets, try doing that while the notification thing is up?

Doesn't work unfortunately, it just overrides whatever widget you have on the lockscreen.

Does anyone know, short of using a different lockscreen?

[Q] Sms waking screen

Does anyone know how to stop the screen from waking up every time i get a text? I have been looking through the settings for quite some time and was unable to find anything to help me out.

Nothing in the stock app, you need to get sms popup from the play store and once you install it, you need to disable notifications on stock sms app, go into the sms popup and in settings enable notifications and set keep screen off and that should do it.

I hate this. I've tried wanam framework and lock screen policy app. Neither can get that stupid feature turned off.
Custom Roms seem to have this don't know how to enable this any other way.

[Q] Notification bar on lockscreen

Hi all,
Is it possible to disable the pull-down notification bar on the stock lockscreen? It happens a few times, that my phone wakes up due to a sms, and then gets opened in my pocket due to the notification bar.
Thanks for your advice in advance!

Yeah, in the meanwhile I realized, that if a set a pin / pattern / whatever security, the notification bar will be disabled, though I always used my phone with only the swipe to open lockscreen. Seems I have to change now.
Other option would be widget locker, but that will just get killed at random times (even though I don't use any taskkiller).

[Q] Lockscreen notifications since Lollipop

Hi , in the past (4.4) I had NiLS installed and could see the different apps notifications on the lockscreen while the phone was locked and screen off . Once a notification came in the screen was "waken-up" and I could see the notification. NiLS worked as a widget. Now, I understand there's no more widgets for the lockscreen , OK with that. The Lollipop replacement is the built-in notifications , however, when a notification comes in I can only hear the sound of it but the screen stays turned off. I couldn't find any decent notifications app that can now co-exist with the new mechanism. Any ideas ? how can I make the screen wake up for incoming notifications ? many thanks.

Same issue

Im searching for the same thing, do you already solve this?

Getting rid of heads up notifications while phone is unlocked?

I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Mine pop into the 2nd screen. What app is causing it? I know Textra was doing that until I disabled the pop up notification

Snapchat and Whatsapp are examples. What sort of notification settings do you have? Are you silencing any apps?

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery

It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.

I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?
