Hi all
So I'm new to Android and am wondering where the lock screen notifications are located and how are they enabled?

lock screen notifications? they come up in a red circle on the lock screen to show you missed calls/messages
I'm running cm9
No lock screen notis. Get hand cent from the market. It'll turn the screen on with a pop up of the new text.

having moved from the walled in garden called the iphone, i expected that this functionally would be available by default on android (ICS).
can't believe it's not !
and dont forget you are running a version that is aleaked and not official, official releases might have it included it might not
Also, most Android phones have notification lights that flash different colours for different types of notification.
Samsung decided not to implement this... But there's a great app on Google Play, called NoLed, that can display notifications on the screen. Doesn't use much battery if you set it up right either - rarely even registers on the batt stats!
If you are from the iPhone then something else to warn you about is that any text messages > 3 messages long will be converted to MMS.
Handcent is a good alternative texting app that allows you to control whether or not this happens (there's no option in Android's default messaging app.)
Caught me out and cost me for the MMS messages too since they aren't included in my contract.
CM9 Roms are still in development
I'd recommend you go here http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/ and make a new post asking for this to be included in a future release.
CyanogenMod is strong because it users suggestions are taken on-board if they get enough support from the rest of the community. make the post, put it here and I'll post in support.
and DONATE. even if its £1/$1.6 they will only get better if you give your support.
NoLed is a brilliant tool for screen notifications, with possibility to monitor not only standard things like SMS and mail, you can also monitor apps, like Wordfeud or anything else

Tried noled, I'm going to refrain from commenting on the grounds that it might incriminate me
To be honest, I really love this update. So many new things! Made me feel like I have bought a new phone all over again. But there are a few issues..
1- Grey statusbar. Why Samsung changed it from black? God knows why
2- Background in the toggles panel in "Notification pull-down", [not the color of toggles itself]. It feels so out of place. The color doesn't match Touchwiz color scheme.
3. WiFi has very slow speed, and can't maintain connection. <<< this is the killer bug for me!
4. Browser will force close (FC) when users try to go to bookmark selection.
5. Help app is very weird. The "step-by-step" guide (e.g for WiFi) is pointing to the wrong location. This is maybe caused by the major changes that Samsung has done to the Settings app. If this bug is still present in final release, then many people will complaint, especially the non-technical one. Samsung made that "easy home screen mode" for a reason, to help those new smartphone users. That "Help" app was supposed to go hand-in-hand with the new Home screen mode.
6. Phone will vibrate even though there is nothing happening, no notification whatsoever.
-Possible causes are WiFi error, and apps FC.
7. New widgets (the white one) are great, only that it doesn't match the color scheme of the old widgets.
-Most of old widgets are in black, e.g Music player, FM radio, Mono Audio, Negative colours. The new widgets, e.g Dialer, Favorite apps, Favorite contacts, Favorite settings, Messaging and Simple alarm clock widgets are all in white. Only two of the new widgets retain the black color scheme of the old widgets, which are the "turn off all sounds" and the "smart switch" widgets.
8. AC charging is very slow, did not test USB charging but some users said it's slow too.
9. Battery draining.
-This might be caused by mediascanner that's constantly running in background, and scanning without stopping.
-Other possible cause is the random vibration bug (point #6) which makes the phone awake so often.
10. Touchwiz is very unstable.
-Sometimes, folder will not close and stays on every homescreen I go (sorta like Pop Up Play).
-Seldomly, app shortcut (or icon or whatever you want to call it) will be replaced with an invisible icon that takes up space. Touchwiz will FC if I try to put an app shortcut to that empty space.
I might add more when I found it, I'm using Omega v16.1. Hopefully this post will help someone, especially those who want to upgrade but can't make up their mind whether they should or not, and not to forget Samsung development team (damn you cunning bastards, LOL!) :silly:

Didn't anyone told you it is not an official/final "update"? it's a leaked firmware and not really an update. and why create another thread when there are several threads out there discussing LH7? these listed bugs are known.

Relax, man. I labeled this thread with very specific title, to discuss bugs in Samsung DLH7 update. The fact that I mentioned "bugs" means I know the rom is still not an official rom, that is leaked to public. You gained nothing by being a prick in the online world.

I know about both fixes because I have been reading posts in Omega thread discussing the latest custom rom (Omega v16). I just want to make a thread with all bugs I found (that shouldn't need fixing in the first place), so that it will give others (that is still on ICS rom but wants to try JB rom) some kinda warning, before flashing.

Thanks for the idea, but I'll stick with Omega.
You forgot the Keyboard bug.
When im using keyboard on vertical mode i type letter K for example but the letter typed was J.

Keyboard bug annoying, and the fact that there hasn't been an extended power menu created as yet for it (not really a bug but missing none the less)

Also got no keyboard bug and about extended power menu, wanam lite has it
Also maybe point to the already present solutions to the browser and WiFi bug and show the positive aspects as well, like the smoothness etc.

Since its a beta, bugs are expected. However, I feel that LH4 and LH6 were much better than LH7. LH7 is bit slower and ram leaks. Also I don't like that why voice commands are merged into s-voice again.
Not got an opinion on leaked test roms that are not the final build .

When screen off, but not locked, the home button reacts like pushed twice and not only once 2 turn on the screen.
Anybody had this issue... Wifi icon in notification getting cut at times.??

Yes - same here with cut icons
Vibration not working always.. I've ticked sound with vibration.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
i think the random vibrations seem to be events like wifi connecting and disconnecting. it took me a while to figure that out.
also seems to be a bug with the gmail notifications. when you collapse the notification it shows the text as partially is cut off instead. not quite sure how to explain it. but it was working properly in LH6.
they are either changing a lot of things and testing, or they keep doing things which ends up breaking something else.

ok... is there any way to change/customize incoming call screen?
I have the same problem which i noticed today (i have the phone for 3 days). I am not sure i had it from the begining so it might be from an app...
Even so, it is not normal.
I think mine is like that... But I'm running rootbox. But I think it was like that stock, and my old Atrix was like that on CM10
Mine is not rooted...
I've seen a lot of pictures on the internet whit this kind of incoming call but it doesn't seem right...why allowing a fullscreen picture if it's half blocked when receiving the call?!?

its probably a new feature designed by some bright young engineer at Google !
try one of those full screen caller id apps, if you don't mind running another service in the background.
this helped on my Moto G (4.3).

Nothing weird. That's normal on kitkat. If you want full pic, try purity rom. However I like the stock looks cause the icons are hard to see when there is full pic as background. That's just me though.
Just noticed that when a text message is received, the screen automatically comes on. If you let it go back off, and then turn the screen on again, you have a lockscreen notification, similar to iphone.
Anybody know how to disable this stuff? Particularly, I do not want my screen coming on every time a text message comes in. I could live with the lock screen notification.
Wait for root and custom ROMs, or just get another SMS app. Like Handcent or something.

Yesssir. Very annoying un toggle-able (on stock ROM) 'feature'.
With all the junk they loaded on this phone it really makes me wonder why we cant have basic features like
1) LED customization without an app
2) Screen on/off toggle for SMS
3) Many other simple things that really should be built in.

Fair enough, but it's like the guy above said--with the amount of options, and the amount of BLOAT, on this thing, you'd think not forcing screen on when text is received would be one of them.

any Lock-screen notification app for note 4?! a real good one that works??!!
i've tried so many from the play store( Echo lockscreen, NEXT lock screen, Heads Up Notifications,NILS lockscreen) some of them are good but with bugs like when i try to open the phone it shows me for a second the normal note 4 lock screen and then immediately the new lock screen app which is very bugging this way!!!!
i want to be able to see notification on the screen when its locked as ios-style (whatapp notification etc..)
is there anything out there that works good with the note 4?!
