Not Receiving Notifications When Phone Locked - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone. I just received a new OPT. I have yet to put my sim card in it since I am waiting for a case and some USB-C adaptors, but I have set up all my apps and wifi etc.
The phone is rooted and I have side-loaded Oxygen OS 3.0. There are no other modifications to the phone (xposed, etc.)
When I have any phone lock option active, such as pin, password, or pattern, I am not receiving notifications until I unlock my device. I have tested this with emails, CNN updates, TheScore app updates, and Facebook updates. I will have my Nexus 5 (also locked with a pattern) and my OPT sitting on a table, and my Nexus 5 will vibrate and the LED light will indicate a notification, whereas my OPT will not. As soon as I use my fingerprint or pattern to unlock my OPT, I will get all of the notifications coming in bulk.
When setting the lock parameters, I have ensured to check the "allow all notifications on lock screen" option.
I have tested that this is not a WiFi problem in two ways:
1. When my unlock option is set to none, or swipe, I receive all notifications promptly.
2. When I have enabled Smart Lock, and am in a location or near a device which keeps my device unlocked, I receive all notifications promptly.
I have run out of ideas and would appreciate any assistance.

Change - Settings>Notification > When device is locked > Don't show notification
To - Settings>Notification > When device is locked > Hide sensitive notification content / show all notification content

I'm running android 5.0 on my nexus 7 and I got this weird sign of a circle with a line through it and I can't seem to remove it.
Anybody know what it is ?

Here you go...
(With Lollipop, Android finally has a proper " Do Not Disturb" mode, something OEMs have added to the platform themselves for years. Integrated into the volume controls are buttons to control incoming notifications. You*can pick between categories of "All," "Priority," and "None," for allowed notifications, and you*can set the device to revert back to "All" after a certain number of hours have passed.
"Priority Notifications" can mean several things depending on what you set as "priority" in the settings. It can be set to allow only notifications from contacts, only notifications from*starredcontacts, or notifications from anyone. There are also toggles to include "Events and reminders," "Calls," or "Messages" as priority notifications. There is also a schedule-able "Downtime" that will automatically turn on*priority mode at certain times and days of the week. Now when you want your phone to automatically shut up at night, you can finally set it to leave you alone*while still allowing really important messages through.
The current notification mode is displayed in the status bar. When the mode is set to "None," a "No" symbol (a circle with a line through it) shows up in the notification bar. If it's set to "Priority," the symbol changes to a star. "All" is considered normal and doesn't get an icon. No matter what the mode is, all notifications are always listed in the notification panel. These settings just control alert sounds, Heads Up notifications, and notification LED flashes)

[Q] 'While Locked' notification issue (lollipop)

Hello,
I recently updated my Note 3 (SM-N9005) to Lollipop with a stock Samsung 5.0 ROM using Odin, and I am struggling with the 'While Locked' notifications.
Basically, despite what option I set, text messages are never shown on the screen or in the S-View display. All it ever says is 'Message Received' and 'Contents hidden'.
I have swapped between 'Hide Sensitive' and 'Show All' just in case something wasn't setting properly, to no avail. I have checked the 'Application Notifications' list and Messages has all options turned off. I have also tried this with Priority set to ON.
It's a shame I can't get this to work for whatever reason, as displaying messages in S-View now appears to be supported without the use of Xposed. It would also be nice to be able to glance at my messages without having to unlock
I'd appreciate any ideas. I tried a Google search, but nothing much came back apart from changing the standard settings in 'Sound & Notifications'.

SMS Content on Lock Screen

I used to be able to see who SMS Texts were actually from on the lock screen with my S6. Now that I have the S8, it only shows that I have an SMS message and it won't show me who it's from unless I actually go into the Messages App? How do I make the sender visible on the lock screen?

Go to settings -> Lock screen and security -> Notifications -> make sure it's on , then go into that menu and make sure you do not have Hide content or notification icons only turned on - also make sure the toggle for all apps is turned on too
Also you have to be using the crappy stock Samsung Messages app, otherwise you won't get that little bubble notification or the edge screen light up. Was very annoyed to see both of those things disabled from working if you use Android Messages or any other app.

I went to Settings > Lock screen and security > Notifications (which is turned on) and then into that menu. In that menu I have the "Hide Content" toggle turned off - the "Notification icons only - Hide notification details and show only the icon" toggle turned off. The toggle for "All Apps" is On. But when I get a SMS message, it only shows "Messages" on the lock screen... not who it's actually from like it used to do with my Galaxy S6. What am I doing wrong?

Jsut tested and it works perfectly

Ever figure this out? I can't. I have done all of the above and gone into the message app and allowed for content to be displayed and gone into the always on display and allowed for content to be displayed. I am using the native message app. I still just get a message icon on my lock screen. No content. Super frustrating!
Reset all setting

I has the same issue. I had googled a million times. Finally had a bright idea.... Go to setting > about phone > down at the bottom should say reset > reset all settings.
This doesn't erase your phone, only sets it back to default stiff like background, notifications, ringtones etc. BUT it finally shows the messages!
Any other suggestions on this? I've tried everything in this thread, including resetting my settings to default. Driving me nuts. After being on the pixel for the past 7 months until now, I've gotten very used to being able to see previews on the lock screen and replying from the lock screen too. I have all the appropriate settings checked that should be allowing me to see previews, but it doesn't. All I want is for the screen to briefly wake up when a text comes through, and to be able to preview it. Is this supposed to be possible on the S8?

SAME ISSUES HERE -- samsung s8/t-mobile
it seems as though the "show content" option for notifications has disappeared on the Samsung S8... I've tried everything i can think of and searched several boards and come up unsuccessful... the only options for notifications on a lock screen (at least for me - Samsung S8 on t-mobile) are: :hide content" or "do not show notifications".. both of which are not helpful when attempting to view the sender's name while hiding their actual text... HELP!
It works on textra under settings then customise notifications then at the bottom u will see privacy settings in there u can have it to show contact but hide message. Hope that's what you wanted. Cheers.

The only way I found to get to the lock screen and view/reply to text message is to double tap the home button first.
It's anoying additional step, but I'm trying to get used to it.

I am not sure if you have found a fix for this or not but.... Last week I accidentally factory reset my phone and lost everything. I still had my old phone and was able to transfer all that was there back over, but my screen stopped lighting up with new notifications. After spending the last hour trying to fix it I was successful!
Settings > Apps> Messages > gear icon above Force Stop > About Messages > update
I really hope this helps others.

Missed call: caller ID not shown on lockscreen

Hi, I believe since nougat update I Only have the notification telling me that I missed a call on my lockscreen, but not the name of the caller. This was definitely on there before. Which setting is it to show that again? I figured it could be some kind of security setting, privacy wise to hide the id of the caller on lock screen but I couldn't find anything like that in settings. Anybody have an idea? Thanks!
Maybe: if you go Settings - Notifications - Advanced - Show System apps - Phone you can select what is shown on lockscreen.
No that's not it. Under device Security, notifications on lock screen, show content is active. And I also see like text previews from WhatsApp. But when someone calls it only says missed call.

How to Disable Chats - Group and Message Notifications for WhatsApp

I am unable to disable Group notifications and Message notifications under Chats. This setting is under Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications > Whatsapp. If I disable after some time I find slider is again green and notifications show up. Is there no permanent way to disable notifications as sometimes notifications are annoying as they keep filling up on the home page. Thanks
You can disable the notifications completely under Apps & notifications -> notifications and choosing the app you wish and turning off notifications as a whole or turn it off for specific category.
Hi. Ya thats what I have done. If you read my query I have disabled group and regular notifications yet after some time it shows up under notifications and when I go to check settings they revert back to allowed (Green Dot). It says as Grey Dot only for some time. Is this an issue with all android devices or specific to this device?
you can just disable the notification entirely in the application setting.
