[Q] Lockscreen notifications since Lollipop

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?

Lock screen replacement?

Here's the thing, I hate EMUI lock screens, magazine works but its notifications are useless, as I can't expand them, and have to unlock the phone to see them in detail, so, useless. I've tried a few replacements so far, ZUI, Echo and at times, Hilocker, don't work, as I have to swipe two lockscreens and that sucks too; Acdisplay which I loved on my previous phone doesn't even launch, so far only Microsoft's Picturesque and Next work really well, but picturesque has the same notification problem and Next seems to drain battery like there's no tomorrow. Can any of you recommend a working lock screen? With expandable notifications and preferably shortcuts, or do I have to sacrifice my battery life for a working lock screen?

Try Next Lock screen from microsoft:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...microsoft.next
edit: so you already tried next , it's the only lockscreen that can compare to stock

There are many lockscreen app on play store but they consume battery too much. By the way you can disable emui magazine unlock screen in developer options so you don't have to unlock twice.

There is one more option. Why don't you try a third party notifications app like: floatify and headsup.

Nougat lacking features?

It seems like the official Nougat builds are really horrible when it comes to notifications. I no longer have the option to turn on the display when receiving a notification, which is huge. But on top of that, I don't seem to get any notifications on the lock screen at all, or "heads up" notifications (the notifications that drop down from the top of the screen while it's on temporarily). Am I wrong? Have others gotten this stuff working? I am on AL10.

Well I got lock screen stuff going, it was just defaulting to disabled. But there seems to be no option to wake the display for notifications.

Mate 8 - NXT-AL10 - turn on screen when notifications are received

Hi,
I have NXT-AL10. Just got the phone 2 days back and I installed Android Nougat 7.0 directly from Huawei using Huawei ID.
I found a setting that may be the one or at least close to it.I also checked if the notification is displaying on the lock screen and it does. I have attached the screenshots.
When I unlock the phone and check the notifications they are there until I swipe them out. They are displayed beautifully. Unfortunately taking screenshot of that was bit difficult as the knuckle thing didn't work so well. I managed to get these. Hope this is what you are looking for.
Cheers!
Sam

I had an issue similar to this on 6.0, it was an issue with themes. Do you have anything under the screen lock style menu, under screen lock and passwords? I have a feeling thats my issue.

Screen lock style - screen lock passwords

Hi,
I checked under screen lock and passwords
options listed are
password, secure lock settings , smart unlock - under the subheading of "passwords"
under "lock screen"
screen lock style, magazine unlock and lock screen signature
under screen lock style
it just displays magazine unlock and when you click that it displays the same wallpaper and asks to apply.
under "magazine unlock settings"
subscriptons, auto-update over WLAN and auto-delete covers
There is a separate application called "Themes" and it shows all the themes. They all look alike but there is no download or edit options available. Even if we want to change or edit those themes, it seems like root is required. Are you rooted?
I have enclosed more screenshots to explain better. Hope you find what you are looking for, if I missed something please let me know if you want screenshot of any other menu or screen.
Cheers!

EMUI 5 Skip Lockscreen

Hi there!
Today i updated to EMUI 5 and Android 7. I got a problem with skipping the lockscreen, so I cant draw my pattern until I swiped once to get rid of the EMUI lockscreen.
Before I updated my OS, I had access to the EMUI lockscreen functions directly from the "pattern enter" screen after i disabled the previous shown lock screen somewhere in the options.
My english is not that good but I hope you get my problem and someone propably knows how to solve it.

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
