lockscreen notifications - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Is there a way to display a notification on the screen as it arrives, instead of useless turn off "Always On" which is incapable of displaying anything but clock and missed calls/sms?

I would also like to know that. I don't why i can only see the name of my provider and not notifications when i turn on screen, but not unlock it. Before s7 i always saw little notification icons

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?

Status bar notification doesn't unlock screen

When I receive notifications from certain apps (Facebook and others I forgot) if I pull my status bar down and tap the notification nothing happens. My lock screen just remains on and then shuts off. I don't have a passcode lock or pattern. For example, if I get an email I hit the power button to turn my screen on, pull down my status bar and click the email it will open up to my email. With some apps I tap the notification and nothing happens. Never had this issue before on older Samsung phones.

The times I've seen this happen where when the app that sent the notification was running behind the lock screen. Example would be Wi-Fi tether. I'd pull down the notification and tap the Wi-Fi tether icon and nothing happened. If I was at my home screen it would unlock and go to the tether app. Not sure if you see the same thing.

Screen wakes up with notifications. How do I turn this off?

My screen constantly wakes up for notifications and I can't figure out how to turn it off. I'm using the "textra" texting app and in the textra settings I have the "wake up screen" option set to off, but my screen still wakes up so there's obviously a setting in the phone that is making this happen, but I can't find it.
Screen lock and passwords.
still cant find it i have the same issue

Notifications on Lockscreen?

Is there a way to view the notifications on the lock screen without actually having to unlock the phone?
I have the settings enabled in "Show all content" in lock screen.
When an email through Gmail comes in, it shows on lock screen, but when I go back to the lock screen, all I see is a Gmail icon and not the actual message itself.
Edit: I guess I mean to show notification on the "ambient display".....
same here, i tried many things no luck.
same here
any further update on this? im hoping someone could fix/change it some day
same here
Mine shows content but I also do NOT have a lock on my device, I just swipe. This probably doesn't help but just thought I'd throw it out there
Mine shows and I do have a lock set.
Ia yours shown in locked screen or ambient display?

But you have to enable the screen taking the phone, isn't right?
I'm interested on the possibility to get notifications on the screen not having to wake up the display. I understand that the notification of missed call i.e. after awhile disappear and the only method to check for it is by taking the phone. I don't have the OP6T yet but I'm considering to buy it but I have some concern about this item.
In the past I had experience with NoLED. It does the job but I recall on Samsung Galaxy S2 time, it was causing some battery draining. I wonder if anyone has tested it on the OP6T.
This app may be pretty close or exactly what your looking for. read through the thread for some root tweaks toy can do to make it even more useful.

Showing notifications on the lock screen is located in settings.

I´ve probably found out the solution. Go to Screen -> Ambient display - > new notifications -> enable it. Now you should see notifications when the screen is locked.
Is there a way to unlock the screen with swipe on the ambient display?

Notifications on lockscreen

With the P4 I am not getting full notifications on the lock screen, just the icon that the notification is from. I guess this is because of Face unlock (can't just look at the lock screen without the phone unlocking)?
Ahhh, turning off "skip the lock screen" brings back the full notifications.

But they still disappear after a while. How do make the notifications stay permanently?

I assume it's a security setting for notifications, so whenever your phone is unlocked with the face the notifications will show the details, after some time, or after you lock your device again they will disappear.
You need to search under notification or privacy/security settings for that option to either show all notification details on lockscreen or hide sensitive data.
Please let me know if that's what you were looking for.
Also noticed that the clock on the lock screen moves up and down randomly throughout the day. Not sure how to share screenshots here tho
That's to prevent OLED burn-in...
