Good:
I apologize first since I am using the Google translator with what I hope you can understand my question, and if the question is already formulated in another thread, but I have not seen it.
I put you in situation:
The blocked phone, I receive a notification (Telegram, GMail, WhatsApp, etc), and the screen turns on thanks to the Ambient Display, but once it's on, and even if I give it a tap, or two, I can not access the notification.
I must unlock the phone (with the fingerprint or the power button), to access them.
In other terminals (Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Mate 9, and even in the Galaxy Note 2), you could interact from the screen of the lockscreen, where, and clicking on the received notification, you accessed the application.
Is it a bug? Is this typical of Nougat ?. Is there any way to solve this?
I have tried having the terminal without pattern, without fingerprint, just with sliding, etc, but it does not let me access them from that screen.
Is that if you have the terminal on the table, to say something, and you get an email, being able to access it without having to pick up the phone, or put the fingerprint, or give the power button to access it, was very comfortable. Two touches on the notification in the lockscreen meant that you could access it.
Thanks for the answers and possible solutions.
Not sure if bug or feature but there is no way to change this as far as i know.
I guess it's a bug, it used to work as OP expects on Nexus 5X 7.1.2. Ambient display on Mi A1 is quite buggy (screen freezing), I don't really recommend using it until fixed.
Thanks to both for responding.

I thought that this problem only happened to me.
The truth is that I do not understand why they can not enable this factory option. The only way I have been able to interact with the arrival of notifications and the lockscreen so far, has been using external programs, such as the Heads Up Notification.
That's right. Without being able to put any kind of security, since if you put it, when you tap the screen, it asks for the pin, since the smartphone understands that you want to unlock it.
o see if in future updates, or with the supposed arrival of Oreo, implement this comfortable action.
Or at least let the end user choose it as being able to open / interact with notifications from the lockscreen.

Hello all.
I don't think anyone has asked this before, so here it is.
Is there a way to disable long-press to change watch face? When I happen to cross my arms, it tends to hit the watchface and registers a long press and goes to the face selection screen. It is pretty annoying as it vibrates and there is a tendency that my face will get changed.
I rather just have the ability to change watch faces via the settings, but would very much like the long-press disabled.
Thanks for reading.
Cheers!
I´ve the same issue, sometimes when covering the screen with the hand to turn it off it changes the watchface...
Wouldn't enabling theater mode prevent that? Two taps on the crown to enable or disable.
No. Theatre mode disables the display.
It should be possible to keep the display on but disable changing watch faces. At least this way.
Yes I found it very annoying too... Google should lock that function (or at least give the ability to do so)

Thanks. That's pretty close. However, I would not like to lock the screen altogether. Normal tasks like viewing and swiping cards is fine. It's just the long tap on the face that I need to disable. I'm thinking the watch face itself needs to be amended. I'll probably ask around the WatchMaker G+ forums as I'm using it's face.

I'm not a developer, but it looks to me like that just disables touch to wake, which is what you asked for. It doesn't affect swiping at all.

I don't want to disable touch to wake. I want to disable long-press to change watchface. That's pretty specific to changing watchfaces.
any news?
Hello,
i've got an G Watch R (Rooted with an G Watch Urbane port running).
I used Advanced Settings for AndroidWear to disable WakeOnTouch, that works pretty well.
but sometimes it seems that i perfom a long-press on the watch and trigger the "change watchface screen".
Are there any News, how this feature could be deactivated? (to change watchfaces there is also an entry in the settings-menu).
LG Naith
Same problem here.
Was out shovelling snow today and I could feel my wrist vibrating to change the watch face every minute. Must have been wearing something conductive. Tried theatre mode in hopes to outwit it, it skipped passed the three taps almost immediately. As a result, the battery must have dipped 20 to 30% (or more) in that hour alone because nine hours from being on charge it's down to 50%.
I use an LG G Watch (original), so no crown to make the hack above worthwhile (unless I never want to interact with the watch again )
This happens when I bike ride as well. At any rate, any ideas (other than keeping the watch in my pocket) would be helpful (not too concerned about the battery drain effect, just the constant watch face change).
Thanks.
Anyone found a solution for this?
He is an asshole that develops such garbage function.
I recently switched from a Droid Turbo to a 6P for the sole reason of I needed the unlocked radio abilities that the Nexus line offers and I was unable to obtain with other phones. (Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx I have plenty of threads on this around). Aside from the Verizon bloat and added software, I loved that phone.
The Nexus 6P is a very good phone on it's own, aside from the size, but I am having a few adjustment issues that some of you might be able to help me out with. I've read that most switchers from the Droid line of phones are unhappy with the Nexus Active Display compared to the Moto version. Just curious if anybody has found a worthy software that has been able to replicate or was able to port the Moto Display over to the 6P? I would be very interested and even willing to shell out $ to help that progress. The Nexus version just seems so unfinished. It very rarely wakes up upon movement and I really enjoyed how I could just wave my hand near my Turbo and I would get the time and notifications.
But my biggest issue with the software of the 6P is the fact that the bottom navigation buttons are software based and do not stay put or visible at all times. I hold the device mostly with my left hand in landscape mode and it doesn't matter which way I am holding it (the top is to the right or left) the navigation buttons are on the right side. If they would just stay put where they are supposed to be, on the bottom of the phone, I could easily use this phone one handed in landscape mode. But I cannot currently. The second part of this issue is the immersive full screen mode where they keep making my navigation buttons disappear! Ok, the screen is big enough, I do not need that extra 4 mm of screen real estate. Leave the buttons visible so I can use them please. I hate the extra screen tap and then delay to be able to back out. The video player is even worse, only allowing a small x to be pressed to back out. I've tried Immersive Full Screen Mode and a few others including Power Toggle but none lock the immersive full screen off. So does anybody know of or have a remedy to lock the navigation buttons and keep them visible? I'm also of the apparent minority that prefers the notification bar to always be visible as well.
Thanks for any help offered.
You may have to wait till some custom roms hit the scene. Sounds like a rom with pie controls would be what you seek.
Yea I was afraid of that. I was hoping there was another secret menu out there that allows control of these features.
I am annoyed with the stock messaging app...does a decent job, however it always crashes when attempting to access through the app switcher. I hate having to go back to the home screen to access my text messages.

acDisplay worked pretty well on my HTC One.
Looks pretty good, but it disables my fingerprint security. With it on I can press the power button and gain access or just swipe up. If I use the built in lock screen, after unlocking with the fingerprint, it still gives the acdisplay lock screen. Perhaps it just needs a marshmallow update to work specifically with this phone. I will continue to monitor it. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'd load Xposed with gravity box. Keeps you on AOSP and you'll have PIE, and many options for the nav bar alone.
How does one get this immersive display where the navigation buttons hide? I'm curious about this feature
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
It's built into the apps. The Google Photos app, any video playback, a lot of apps and games that I have automatically go into it. There's also plenty of apps, I mentioned one above, that you can install and get immersive all the time. Be aware though, I got myself into a bit of a jam as it removed the back and home buttons and I couldn't exit a certain app.

Hi anyone else experiencing a bug where it takes like 5/6 trys to slide the lockscreen up. Its like im not sliding up enough but im going off the top of the screen i have to flick like 20 times sometimes.
Indeed Nougat seems to require a slightly different swipe-up-to-unlock action than Marshmallow. If you're going off the top of your screen, though, you are doing it wrong. You're not catching Pokémon, just slowly swipe up about an inch, that should already trigger the unlock. Do a practice run, see how slow and short you can do it, you'll be surprised.
I also have this problem since the update to Nougat, sometimes the screen will unlock with a short swipe and others you have to go the full length of the screen!
I have taken the screen lock off for now as i am fed up with swiping 5+ times to unlock the phone
If you disable swipe to shrink screen in moto actions then it works fine.

Yeah it works fine with swipe to shrink disabled now thanks
Shame that the swipe to shrink is causing the problem.
I can confirm the issue, and for the moment, also the solution! Thanks guys
Enviado de meu Moto G (4) usando Tapatalk
Had same problem but this didn't fix it for me. Ended up disabling/enabling Moto app. Noticed System UI tuner had disappeared so re-enabled that also. So far so good...
This is an old thread, but my findings may be relevant. A short time ago, I also started to have problems with all sort of swiping, on the home screen, but also when swiping away notifications or within apps. (Ironic, since I initially discarded those problems in the first answer here. Mea culpa.)
Eventually, I found the reason for it. I used a small app, "Media Volume Only", which hooked into the special "read phone status" permissions (in this case to monitor and modify volume keys behaviour). I assume in the process of monitoring gestures/keys it interferes with swiping actions. After disallowing, disabling and deinstalling this app, my swiping actions are as responsive as they should be.
So if you still have problems with swiping, it may well worth looking into these apps that carry that special permission.
Disaable all smart lock option.
Mainly on body detection option.
Thanks....
Its working 100%

You nailed it! Not only does their "Swipe to shrink screen" feature work TERRIBLY, as if that wasn't poor enough execution, it works terribly at the expense of making the swipe to unlock so completely frustratingly UNRELIABLE.
These folks need to take a leaf out of Huawei's book and make the swipe to shrink, work by swiping horizontally across the navigation bar ... (Huawei, incidentally, are FAR from perfect and need to fix their TERRIBLY laggy, sluggish phones) - you can SEE why people side with iPhone, can't ya!

On body detection is the reason in my case.
Problem solved now
I'm SO frustrated. The stock Marshmellow Lock Screen is terrible. One of the poor design points of Android for quite some time now. There are much better lock screens such as Microsoft Next, Hi Locker, etc. Some of which (like the ones mentioned) support fingerprint unlock.
The problem with the G6 is that it won't allow you to setup a fingerprint, WITHOUT enabling the system lock screen!
There's other apps that use fingerprint option, such as LastPass app. Can't use it unless you have System Lock screen enabled.
Pathetic

#1. Why are you on Marshmallow? Most G6's launched with 7.0
#2. I barley see my lockscreen. I just put my finger on the scanner and it unlocks. I don't see a point in having one anymore.

Especially with AOD the lock screen is very rarely seen. With knock on and the finger print scanner being very accurate on this device, I don't use the lock screen ever. I suppose if you use the swipe to unlock it's still relevant.

First the absence of a notification LED.... now this catastrophe!
Life's really tough.
Sorry I got my sweets all mixed up. I meant Nougat, not Marshmellow.
Everyone has different objectives of how they use their smartphone. For me, I'm not one to be using my phone frequently throughout the day. This is a key difference between me and a lot of typical users, especially the younger generation that is doing SMS/Facebook/Snapchat/Instagram/YouTube/Etc much of the day. I for one must have repeating sound alarms for missed SMS and phone calls as the LED indicator doesn't do any good when you aren't always glancing at your phone. I can leave it in another room for much of the day. So I guess I don't miss an LED indicator on my G6. (I use Prof Reminder app). When I do turn on my phone I want to see vital info right up front. That is:
- Text of missed SMS messages
- Missed phone calls
- Upcoming appointments for the next few days
- Weather for the next 3-5 days
I used to use C Locker which lets you put any widgets you want on the lock screen but I'm preferring the simplicity and look of MS Next Lock Screen now.
Anyhoo, my preference is to double tap screen to see my lock screen with all the info, then if I want to unlock, use the fingerprint sensor. The stock lock screen SUCKS.
The bottom line is that use of the fingerprint sensor should be independent of the lock screen setting. This would be like saying you can only use the home button with the stock home screen and couldn't use Nova Launcher.
Hey! I just rooted my Oneplus6T, installed Nova Launcher and a screen rotation controller app, but I still can't keep the lockscreen in Landscape mode.
I double tap to wake the phone, it comes up landscape, I swipe up, but then the screen always rotates to portrait for the pattern (or the PIN, I tried that as well).
I've already altered the build.prop file, but it still hops to portrait every time. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
I tried a lockscreen replacement called "Hi Locker", and while it worked, you could just get right through it to the home page and do stuff, so it's not secure at all.
Thanks!
I just tried Substratum "Subtweaks" and it doesn't work either! Help!
So everyone else's phone stays in landscape when they enter their pattern to unlock?
Seriously, it would help if I knew this was JUST my problem. Might help me figure it out. Thanks!
Well, I'm glad to have joined such a robust, supportive community. :\
Pretty sure the lockscreen is only portrait. Why anyone would want it in landscape is beyond me, probably why it's not there at all.

Every time I want to unlock my phone in the car, I have to do it sideways. I used a Note 3 that gave me a Landscape Mode Lockscreen for years, so it's certainly possible. I much prefer it, and I would like it on the Oneplus 6T, please.
And thank you, Bladestonez, for responding to my question, even if it was just to imply that it was ridiculous. Never settle! :\

You can always flash an aosp rom. I'm pretty sure aosp has lock screen rotation, you will however you'll loose the fingerprint scanner but it appears you don't use that anyway so might be a good option. Could also suggest lockscreen rotation as a feature for future builds of oos.

Hey! Thank you. I root to block ads and back stuff up, not to start installing custom roms, so I may just wait and see if they can add it officially. I did a little dance recently when I was able to install the latest OTA with Magisk without losing root. That's about as far as I want to push stuff like that.
I DID try the build.prop code, and while it does make the "swipe up" screen Landscape, when I do swipe up, the "pattern dots" screen rotates to Portrait.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqMiWAlAaUI
It's not a deal-breaker, it's just stupid. As well as my Note 3, every tablet I've ever had has given me a Landscape Lockscreen, so it can't be THAT hard. They probably just decided no one wanted it and didn't include it (or inadvertently disabled it), I guess.
If anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears. Otherwise, I've already been in touch with Oneplus and I think they put it on the wishlist for me. Gonna start holding my breath... NOW.

Yes, I know my case is the opposite, but you can use the same app.
My case:
Today I have noticed that on lockscreen the screen is rotating what did not happen before. I have tried several Rotating apps but none of them could block rotating of the screen while on lockscreen.
Lastly I managed to force it to portrait mode with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pranavpandey.rotation
In the Settings - Conditions - Lock Orientation - it has to be set to Autorotation OFF then it works. When I set it to Portrait it doesn't.
So in your case you could try setting it to Force Rotation or Landscape.
