For those not using Always On Display, does your screen light-up/turn-on for notifications? Mine does not. How do I allow screen-wake for notifications? For example, when I receive a text message (on stock messaging app) I hear the notification sound, but screen does not turn on briefly to display notification. The notification does show on the lockscreen when I manually wake the phone. I turned on the setting to show all notifications on lockscreen. This problem is also on my LG G5. Maybe LG doesn't allow screen wake for notifications?
i would love for this to be sorted, as well ...
I guess you could try Nils or another similar app for do this...

My h870ds (ARE) has the same issue too. They are only stock sms app and Viber that make lock screen turn on automatically after receiving notifications. If I get messages from Telegram and other apps, I just have sound notification and that's it. Lock screen doesn't turn on. My G5 h850 doesn't have this issue.
I flashed the firmware of European region on my G6 but it didn't solve the issue. What is the region of your G6? And can we solve this problem anyway? Maybe it's feature, not a bug, but it's quite irritating...
you can always try this solution:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg...ue-missing-t3698336/post77087755#post77087755
basically the screen is off until you get some kind of notification (FB, Whatsup, Email, Viber message , etc.) - you control what notification will turn your AOD display ON. When you read your notification, Tasker turns off AOD. Very, very convenient
However, the last update of Tasker broke the functionality and currently I am using some old version of Tasker

Actually, I've been using Tasker for AOD feature for couple of days too, it's quite convenient and can be used as some kind of solution. I just can't understand why some versions of G6 face this issue, kind of strange decision of LG

Which version of Tasker are you using? I am wondering if they've fixed the issues I had a month ago.

5.2.bf2
I downloaded it from 4pda, not from GP. My G6 is on 7.0, not Oreo (in case if it's important).

Hi , in the past (4.4) I had NiLS installed and could see the different apps notifications on the lockscreen while the phone was locked and screen off . Once a notification came in the screen was "waken-up" and I could see the notification. NiLS worked as a widget. Now, I understand there's no more widgets for the lockscreen , OK with that. The Lollipop replacement is the built-in notifications , however, when a notification comes in I can only hear the sound of it but the screen stays turned off. I couldn't find any decent notifications app that can now co-exist with the new mechanism. Any ideas ? how can I make the screen wake up for incoming notifications ? many thanks.
Same issue

Im searching for the same thing, do you already solve this?
Anyone else have issues with Lightflow making the phone screen turn on randomly when sitting on a table? The colors for the notifications are correct, but becausue of the screen coming on alot randomly this is going to kill the battery life. I even enabled a setting to reduce this in light flow but nothing works. Does anyone have lightflow working correctly?
Thanks!!
At the moment the only option is to switch off the ambient display. If there's an outstanding notification or one is getting updated it'll trigger ambient display and lightflow always has an active outstanding notification.
I've put a feature request in to Google to allow some control of when it triggers.
Can you star the issue here*

I don't seem to have this problem. Ambient display only lights up on new notifications, even with the latest Light Flow with persistent notification. I do have issues with light flow losing control on a regular basis and then I just see the standard very slow white led blink regardless of notifications. Activating lock screen promptly fixes and then I see the appropriate color and blink rare from light flow.

Thanks for the explanation. Hopefully u guys find a workaround
I also have had probles with the ambient display turning on seeminly randomly all the time, I didn't know it was light flow..
On another note, I miss the feature were my screen would turn on when I get a text messge (but not dismiss the lightflow) so in case the LED wasn't attention grabbing enough the screen turning on would be. Nexus doesn't seem to do that, can lightflow do this? (turn on the screen for 2-3 seconds right after a new specific notification, say text message?)

Out of curiosity is building the app with the new api's what triggers the need for the notification? Reason I ask is the previous (lollipop api???) version was working fine without the persistent notification on Marshmallow.

Yes that's exactly it.
I'm bringing out a new play store version later today which will be targeting lollipop's API for people who don't mind loosing android 6 specific features (ie runtime permissions, camera flash control) but don't want the notification related issues of apps targeting android 6.
a fine trade off for me. Had to stop using the app because of that for the time being.
Absolutely fine with me as well. Thanks for the great work as always Andrew.:good::highfive:
It's driving me insane that everytime I turn my screen on to lockscreen, my light flow notification titls, shows for half a second and then disappears. If I block the notifications from app settings, lightflow stops working.
Anyone having same issue?
Lightflow is working fine for me. I haven't noticed that.

The only time I have seen this is with a small number of apps that must have a different way they implement LED notifications. In those apps, I have to disable the LED notification from within that specific app. When I say a small number, for me it is like... 2 of 80 apps or something.
This is my lightflow notification problem..

This happened with their latest app update to help with Marshmallow improvements. Developer is aware and said they should be doing something to fix it....but it's been a week already.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you're talking about the persistent notification. Yes, it is something he has had to do in order to support future development on Android 6.0. I believe he is working on a means to give people access to the prior version if they want it, but it would be feature frozen (i.e. no more new features).
Check out this on his site: http://www.reactle.com/2015/10/changes-for-android-6-marshmallow.html

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......
I'm not sure if this is an LG or Nougat thing, but it's seriously annoying. Whenever I use the phone and I get a notification of any kind, it pops down from the status bar (why can't it just go straight to the 2nd screen???) and persists for a few seconds unless I action it or dismiss.
Is there a setting within notifications or apps themselves to make them go straight to the 2nd screen?

Mine pop into the 2nd screen. What app is causing it? I know Textra was doing that until I disabled the pop up notification

Snapchat and Whatsapp are examples. What sort of notification settings do you have? Are you silencing any apps?

Not silencing anything, I just adjusted the Textra to not show the floating reply.
I don't use Whatsapp so can't speak to any settings in there and my Snapchat I have set to Vibrate only(turned wake screen off). Don't get a lot of Snapchat chats so never noticed if its a pop up notification or not

Weird - I found out that "Silencing" notifications is the only way to get them to not pop up... but then I don't get a vibrate.
System UI is a "hidden" feature of Nougat that LG decided to axe, which is extremely frustrating because it has the EXACT functionality someone needs to have full control over their notifications.

Yeah I want that system UI because in it you can do percent in battery notification so it's not next to the battery
It actually started with Marshmallow and was pretty popular due to the simple tweaks it can do that everyone wants. Unfortunately it seems to be more of a carrier issue with disabling it. Regardless, disabling peeking should be a basic option in settings from day 1. Not a super hidden feature in Andriod M and a above with no guarantee of staying. Textra is nice enough to have its own setting. Why other apps do not is baffling.
Someone finding a way to get to the System UI tuner settings would be amazing. As it is now there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off ONLY peeking/heads up notifications that I have been able to find. Maybe HeadsOff will be compatible with N before long.
I can't reply to any notifications in my notifications panel. How do I turn it back on?
