Guys, I am looking for any suggestions you guys use for the best method to be notified of text and missed calls and such. It was always pretty good with the old iphone in such see the message swipe and then reply. I now really like the new little pop up that comes with the stock messaging app. But the popup is gone in about 2 seconds. Also do we not have any method to have notifications show on the lock screen. Just do not like at all to have to look in the notification center for this stuff. I do use Handcent texting mostly just for the pop up. But still not popup for a missed call. At least the S4 has a notification on the lock screen. I usually finally find a good set up but was wondering what most of you guys do. Thanks
You can try dashclock from play store. It's a widget that you can put on the lockscreen and it has a lot of extensions allowing you to see between others: clock, date, calendars, weather, alarm, gmail, whatsapp, sms, missed calls etc, battery info, etc...

Years ago I used Handcent solely because I could set recurring notifications. I've since gotten so attached to the little green droid that we now communicate via telepathy...or so it seems...
Why not rely on the notification light? I use Light Flow which not only lets you customize color but also duration and flash rate. So for me emails get a normal flash and turn off after 15 minutes. But a missed call is more important so I have it flashing red very fast and for a long time - like an hour so I'm sure not to miss it.
But this only works when screen is off of course.
I use Dynamic Notifications and Light Flow. The combo really works well for me and I like that I can schedule a sleep time so it doesn't light up the screen or the notification lights when I'm sleeping. DN will keep showing the notification at set intervals until I enter the app or clear it. Very simple, efficient, and customizable. LF is used mainly because the stock light settings did not have enough customizing ability.

Get Nils along with Nils+. This will give you very iPhone-ish lockscreen notifications. You can swipe them away to dismiss or slide the icon to launch the app. Nils is the main program and includes a widget (old method), and Nils+ will overlay the lockscreen with the notifications (new method, doesn't need a widget).
I personally use Nils beta from Google+: https://plus.google.com/communities/115156552435983276604?partnerid=gplp0
Use the links on the right side to Enable Tester for Nils and Nils+. Then you can download them. Nils is on the play store (no tester required), but you must be a Nils+ tester to use Nils+.
I really like the convience of getting a notification, not missing it and being able to reply quickly. As much so many other things the android system does betteras compared to IOS, This is were I struggle to get it better. The LED is great. Helps not miss anything. I have used Lightflow on and off a lot over the last year with a GS3. SO MANY mixed results. lights would work for some apss then not others and then getting the notification LED to cancel when message was cleared has always been a pain. Maybe need to give Lightflow a try on the G2. I'll check out Nils+ and Dynamic Notifications. For now I'm using Handcent which is working ok but I actually like the stock messanger. Thanks again!!!
if you don't mind paying, look up glowfly. it's a pop-up app for texting that works pretty well. I've been using it for about a year. I loved the stock g2 sms pop-up bc it didn't interrupt what you were doing, like if you're watching a video it kept playing... any other popup app, including glowfly, pause the video. but whatever. works better.

Notifications on apps like whatsapp, gmail etc, are very unreliable when the the screen has been off a while. We have the same problem with the Le Max 2 in our house.
Anybody experiencing the same?
No problem here at the moment.

Do you use greenify? That tends to sleep apps, there's an option to keep notifications on so you can get them still. Seems like probably another issue though.

I'm suffering exactly the same issue. When I receive any push message from Hangout or Whatsapp the phone does not play any notification sound, even though when I turn on the screen I can see the notification on the lockscreen and on the notification bar if I unlock by fingerprint.
This morning I realized that if you plug in headphones the notification message sound will get through.... quite weird....
It looks to me we will have to wait for the following OTA and see if it gets fixed. By the way my phone is Chinese/EU version.
Problem fixed easily:
to to the phone's manager/ power saving management, then the lock screen app protection, you need to set those apps 'protected' , so when the screen is off, they are still protected in the background. you may also want to check the align wake up which is another power saving feature. basically, you need to let any apps you want to have notification stay 'protected' when the phone is sleeping. Make sure also check under setting/ notification management, to enable those apps......
Can someone please help me enable the 30 wallpapers on the lock screen please?
I had it enabled on Nougat, updated to Oreo and I knew there is no more possibility to add more than one image, but for some reason it still displayed those images like in nougat. Untill I resetted all the setting because the new edge lighting works for messages( really annoyed cause it doesnt work for whatsapp or facebook messeger, wait, any app besides default message app and i tought the setting got corupted)
I saw a post in witch if you use Nova, witch I am, can create an activity with "my interests" app and set the multiple images on the lockscreen. I dont quite know how to do it and I need someone to help me.
Can the classic night clock be added br 3rd party becaus im sure samsung just dropped the support on the phone after oreo..
I miss these 2 features, makes me want to go back to nougat or root and loose OTA.......witch isnt a big deal cause I dont think there will be any more major updates.
To use edge light on every app you must enable pop up notification in app and then edge light works, also with screen off

Thanks! I did that, but it still wont work, although I wont use it with screen off because of privacy issues.
I really like the video on lock screen, can convert gifs and make cool lock screen, but I still miss the old feature. :crying:
Hi everyone!
So, I recently got a Mi 9T.
I really like the device itself, but not having used MIUI in a few years, there's something that is really making me angry, to the point where I'm considering sending the device back and getting a refund: the way notifications are handled on the lock screen.
Basically, the problem is this: when you recieve a new notification, it only shows on the lockscreen ONE TIME. After that, if you turn the screen off and back on again, even if you didn't dismiss the notificaiton it disappears from the lockscreen. You have to unlock the phone and open the notification shade to read the pending notifications.
This is not how stock Android behaves, and is very annoying because I keep forgetting I have unanswered emails/messages/etc, since I don't see them "at a glance" when I turn on the screen without unlocking the device.
Is there any way to fix this?
If there isn't, does anyone know of any alternative solution? Maybe a third party app? At least a way to see that there are active notifications, maybe via an icon in the statusbar or something?
Ok, after some searching I've found that this Xposed module should have this feature: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-customiuizer-customize-miui-rom-t3910732
Now all we need is a way to root the device so we can install Xposed/EdXposed. Has anyone tested magisk/root yet?
On my previous mobiles, I've been using a combo nova/missedit
Nova folder, transparent icon with links to phone, messages, WhatsApp,WeChat, slack... Inside, with badges active. Any notification is shown only when present. Touch, open folder, touch open app. Fast and nice.
Missed it can be configured to show anything you want
But both are not working properly with t9. Bought Wednesday, not much testing still, but some annoyances found, like that.
Lock screen is just detected, I didn't noticed it until now. But may be dangerous.
And also, notification led (I love those things) does nothing but charge... And noled app doesn't works

LED is working for me with notifications (tested with WhatsApp).
Thanks for your suggestions, but from what I read it seems that those apps are for missed notification badges? I'm talking about notifications on lockscreen, that disappear after they've been shown once.
But the mod I've linked above seems to have the solution, just need to find a root method (there's a TWRP available, but not official, don't know if Magisk works on it or not, will test this weekend if I can).

Do you have any idea why my phone led wont lit up when it receives a message ,it only lights up at charge
thanks btw
ok, i understand your problem.
but for me is also logic to not keep same notification on lock screen always, even after you unlock and lock phone back.
there are up in notification bar, icons, or badges on icons in home screen, and they saty until you dismiss them from notification bar.

Different people use their phone differently.
Personally, I use notifications as reminders. For example: if I get an email that I can't reply to immediately I do not dismiss the notification, so when I turn on the display, maybe even hours later, I immediately see the notification and I am reminded to reply.
Note also that this is how notifications work in stock android, so MIUI should at least give the option imho.
yes i understand you. but this is not stock android.
and if you dont dismiss notification in notification panel, when you swipe down, this notification icon will remain there until you dismiss her. so lets say, this morning i receive email, and it was on my lock screen. i unlock phone, and use what i wanted, but didnt watch email. in notification bar i have icon that there is email, and on app icon i have notification number. so this notifications number and icon in notification bar will stay all the time i dismiss notification when i pull down notification panel. i hope you understand. so if you watch on app icon of email you will know you have email as there is notification number, and up in bar you will have also notification that you have message. It is that what you said notification shade.
dont be upset, just say that it is not exactly true that after unlock you lose remainder that you receive email or message.

Well, you lose the reminder on the lock screen. I'm resurfacing this thread cause I just got a Mi9 and this is driving me nuts. They didn't fix this, even on MIUI 11.

That's very interesting... is this a XiaomiEU feature or has it been added in stock MIUI beta? (XiaomiEU builds are based on MIUI beta if I recall correctly).
Anyway, I can confirm that I've been using the Xposed module "custoMIUIzer" on my 9T and it works perfectly, it has a fix for this problem (and tons of other customizations)

Still not fixed with MIUI 12. Is there a way to get this to work without rooting?
Customiuizer does it.
On latest MIUI12 weekly beta.
What version of xposed are using with customiuizer?
For those who got the update, did Xiaomi fix their 'feature' in MIUI 12?

Howdy everyone!
I am having an issue with my S10 not displaying notifications. The only notifications that work is the Messages app. When the phone is on a black screen, the Message app is the only one that will display and notify.
I want my other apps... Nest, Wyze, Meross, etc to do the same as the messaging app.
I have googled for hours and tried almost everything i can think of.
Help?
Are your notification settings turned on for each app under settings then notifications?
Thanks for the reply.
Yes, I checked for each app.. I have even compared to the actual message app that came on my device.
Beginning to notice this issue also
Since the April Update this happened. Looks like its not an "issue" but a system change.
There used to be a setting where you could turn the messages on/off etc...
For instance, i like that my edge panel lights up, and i get the icon on screen that i have a message.
My wife likes that message to be displayed on the screen so she can see it without having to actually go to it.
Now there is a little messges overlay for the stock app that pops up, similar to FB messenger, I actually like this idea, but that seems to be a huge change and i cant find the setting to revert to the old way.
