Changing notifications in the lock screen - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi, so I have 2 questions related to this
1. How do I change the notification (lets say for emails) view to be expanded? It currently clubs multiple notifications for the same app and shows me the app name and just how many notification I have under it. How do I make it show the notifications separately, like iPhone does?
2. When I click the power button when locked (to simply check notifications), the screen stays lit for barely 2-3 seconds before going dark again. How do I change this to stay lit longer?

Phantom Notification Light

Has anyone else has experienced this? Seemingly out of nowhere my green notification LED will start blinking. Thinking I have an email/text/missed call I hit the power button only to find no notifications whatsoever. I check my inboxes to make sure nothing new was in there and find nothing. No alarms, no new texts, no emails, no missed calls, nada. It just continues to blink until I reboot the phone. Its not a huge issue but its happened about 5 times in the past week, just wondering if i'm the only one.
mine doesn't do it to that extent, but sometimes if I have just cleared a notification or something it will blink until I put it to sleep and wake it back up.
Huh. Haven't noticed that problem. For what it's worth I use Google Voice so don't use the MMS app and have removed the Voice Mail.
maybe its a hey play with me light? lol ive experienced it but in about 2hr increments of standby

It happens to me when I check a text through the app (handcent) but I don't go to the notification bar at all, it clears because I open it in handcent but it continues to blink until I pull the notification bar down.

Speaking of the Notification bar, does anyone else have an issue of selecting a notification and it takes you to the correct app, but it doesn't close the notification bar?
yeah, i've had that, where the notification bar will stay down after clicking an app. i just roll it back up and the app i selected is no open in the background, so its all good.
and as far as the notification light goes, i wish there was a way to also tap into that orange/red LED as a notification light. I downloaded an app that can control the blinking light and for various things, and if the phone supports it, multiple colors (dunno what phones have a multicolor LED there...) but seems it can only tap into the green LED. Which sucks, cause i'd love to have missed called and voice mails linked to the red light while everything else linked to the green light. maybe once its rooted and custom roms come out that'll be an option.
I've experienced this with Handcent SMS on the rare occasion. There's a certain combo of viewing messages that seem to cause this.
Since you can view messages 3 ways, reply 2 ways, not sure which combo causes it.
To clear it tho, I've always just opened handcent fully and opened up the last message received. That's worked every time for me.
I made the switch to GO SMS. It's a thing of beauty.

I am a bit of a text addict so I notice this happening frequently. Doesn't really bother me but I dont really understand why it happens some times but not others. It happens with GO SMS and stock messaging app for me.

don't get your hopes up. I upgraded from a Hero and it used what seems to be an identical light, it was hardwired to only use green and red, so no matter what software you use it wouldn't matter. Not to say something isn't different with this one, but just be prepared to have your bubble popped as I did the first time I saw those options in cyanogenmod...

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?

Micromax Yureka screen loack and walpeper change problem solution finally

Got rid of the issue easily finally by Blocking my Notifications access
Hi,
This has worked for me since yesterday, earlier my phone use to get locked every ten seconds or so and I was not at all able to use it.
I was having a gut feeling that the issue of locking and changing wallpaper is face most of the times when some Message is about to arrive or some notification from some application is poping up on screen.
For this yesterday what i did is as follows:
Settings > Notifications > Pop-up notifications are disabled
When device is locked
Don't show notifications at all
App notifications
Messaging
blocked
Notification access
Theme chooser - It can be allowed as ticked only,no other app
Filter notifications
To do this , when a notification pops up,
say mostly it is for low battery which will lock the screen almost after few seconds.
Press and hold the notification popup message and click on the icon to filter it then it will show under Filter notifications tab.
Select above things in Settings menu and Im sure the problem might get solved for you also.
Only drawback being you cannot see the notification on Locked screen but the blinking green and white light tells about new notifications.
All d best. shared this because since yesterday my phone did not got locked even a single time.I was also visiting this page for solution, happy to provide one for everyone if it works.
Main thing is to block the popup notifications , as soon as these are disabled. Screen wil not get locked.changes might reflect after a phone restart.
Have a good day.

Notifications help

I moved from iphone x recently, have few questions about notifications on 0p6t
1.Is there any way to group notification s on lockscreen as well as panel by app.
2. I have turned off ambient display and wake up phone to unlock by face id, on iphone when it is locked you get notification without showing the content, but when you look at it and unlock, the notification will expand and show the content on the lockscreen, any way to get this on 0p6t
3. When ever I try to reply from lockscreen, after it recognises my face and unlocks, it takes me to home screen and there I can reply, is there any way to reply directly from lockscreen.
Thanks.

1. Notifications are already grouped by app even on lock screen. Android starts grouping only after certain number of notifications
2. Not exactly, but Android has similar as well. You can change setting Apps & Notifications - Notifications - On the lockscreen to Hide sensitive content. Not as polished as iPhone x, but it works..
3. You can turn off Auto unlock once the screen is on setting under Settings - Security and Lock screen - Face Unlock

Redmi Note 7 - permanently display notification icons on lock screen

Hello,
Since I do not carry my mobile permanently with me, I had with my Ulephone Power 3 the possibility to me with receipt of a message (WhatsApp, telephone call etc.) on the lock screen an icon to indicate. So I could always take a look at it in passing and knew when I had to pick up the phone.
I did not find this function on the Redmi Note 7.
You can set in the menu, the notifications on the lock screen are displayed, but this is only briefly the case and then they are hidden again.
As the Note 7 notification LED is barely visible, it would be nicer to have the lock screen notification permanently visible.
Can someone help me there?
Sorry I can't offer much help. Certain apps just don't seem to work with this phone in regards to notifications.
i.e. Flashscore for football notifications would not work at all but Livescore did.
Whatsapp is very inconsistent, it can do a number of things.
