I've searched around a bit and no luck. Is there any way to get the screen to light up when a new SMS is received? The trackball lighting up is a nice idea, but I rarely notice it when my phone is on silent. I've looked through every option on the N1 and don't see it anywhere. I also searched the nexus forums here and with Google. Thanks.
wow you rarely notice the trackball? I find the trackball notification way to bright. such an option is indeed not available. I am not sure if many others have your problem, so I am guessing they wont make an app for that

Have you tried Handscent SMS: http://www.handcent.com/. Does the job nicely; turns the screen on with a handy quick reply pop-up. Make sure you disable the default message notifications mind.

Wow, this is perfect. Thank you!
If you are like me, and prefer the stock messaging app, then you should look at SMSAwake.
1 vote for Handcent from me.
It works perfectly with ALOT of options and settings to choose from.
I use SMS Popup from the Market and it works great. It also has its own notifications, or you can just use the default N1 ones.

hate it.
have missed lot of incoming calls due to it.
is there an app to remove it or replace it with something else?
Idk if they replace it, but have you tried lockbot or lock2.0?
i got a post on general with the same question.
I saw a "shake phone" apps on market awhile ago but i forgot what it call.
Maybe you can answer calls by flip/shake it.
try "no lock". It works fine on my X10

thanks.
also has a widget to quick enable disable the screen lock
BoD No Lock
BoD No Lock Works perfectly to remove the default lock screen and re-enable it when required, and best of all its free and simple and come with a nice GUI widget.
Doesn't solve the problem at all, calls are still being locked.
While i don't mind unlock the screen if i am not receiving calls so it doesn't click any "widgets" on the screen. I think it is worse then not using it.
Shall we start a petition for it? I rather have this fix then having 2.1 or 2.2 android if this persist further.

ya i noticed...the calls still need a 'swipe' to answer.
locale actually have a LP plug-in.
It said to "remove" default LP but i doubt it would work since if no lock doesn't work, it might not work on call as well.
Its Really Easy to remove the HTC Lock Screen from your Sensation!
You Will Need Root To Do This!
I was getting lag when tring to un-lock the phone..
So all I did was rename the: htclockscreen.apk - to: htclockscreen.bck
And Now I have a lag free Lock Screen
i have no lag since 2.3.4 .. not to mention rooting sensation is direct contradiction to "Realy easy"
Thanks. I don't know that I've had any real lag issues, but I do like the option of getting rid of the "lock ring" lock screen and going with the standard Android lock screen.
I haven't decided whether to keep it like this or not, but I kind of like it.
I'll have to adjust to using a swipe across the screen instead of bottom to top to unlock though.
EDIT: Neat . . . it displays Charging (xx%) on this lock screen. That's kind of handy.
You guys are Ca-razy. The lock ring lock screen with the ability to instantly go to one of four frequently used apps is one of the main reasons I got this phone.
And as for lag, I have absolutely none with the standard lock screen.
And now you have to unlock to answer a phone call?

I didn't notice that until just a few minutes ago. (Hadn't gotten any calls 'til then).
I'm back to the original .
I hate the lock screen in general so I use "No Lock" from the market (it is free). Now I just press the button and do what I need to do without having to drag a ring.

ive been a fan of sense since the WinMo days, but 2.1 for android sealed the deal for me, been a fan ever since (damn you homonyms!!!)
and yes, the lockscreen for 3.0 was a HUGE incentive to stay away from vanilla/asop...that, and the clock widget
Hey all,
For the life of me I can't get notifications to show up my lock screen. I have tried enabling it in settings but no dice. Even when I put down the notification bar on the lock screen it is still empty. Any help would be appreciated as this is getting a bit annoying.

If you have already anable lockscreen notification then you must check from general settings, apps and one by one check
the menu notification if you have anable lockscreen notification there too

Tyvm. Would you happen to know if there is any way to show all items that are currently in notification bar on my lock screen and not just newly received/unread items? I like to have access to my Play Music and Pocket Cast notification widgets all times.

I emailed Huawei Tech Support yesterday regarding this issue. I was prompted to call in to tech support for further assistance, and told by a service rep that this is a known software issue. Along with led notification light also, she then created a ticket for me... I asked her if there would be an update correcting the issue soon? She placed me on a brief hold then returned stating that; "eta should be about mid March!" ?
I refused to trouble shoot with her due to the phone surprisingly deciding to display notifications and notification light by itself!
After pressing lock button and viewing lockscreen again, NOTHING BUT DATE & TIME.... It's been intermittent ever since, although play music seems to efficiently control lock screen with image and track controls every time!

Why do they say it's a known issue when some, like me, do get notifications? Although, I do notice that I do not always get notifications from my news app, etc. But in whole, I am getting my Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, CNN, nottifications. You are not getting anything at all in your lockscreen?
I'm using the US version

Yes throughout the day I will see them, but they're inconsistent, and intermittent! For example just listening to a music app during one record I can power on screen... see title and artist... Power off screen.... 5 secs later, power on screen.... Noting! It's the same thing with messages, they should remain there "on lock screen" until they're are checked or acknowledged, via lock screen, home screen, or task bar!
US version as well, and it's same with led notification light!?

Did you make sure that those apps that you want to receive notifications from aren't set to sleep when the screen Locks?

*Bump* Guys has this issue been consistently fixed with the latest updates? This was honestly my only legitimate knock on the Mate 9 software... Appreciate your input! Thanks!
You need to go to the themes app and enable magazine unlock in the screen lock settings. It's the one one that will allow notifications on the lock screen.

Confirmed from my side. Enable magazine unlock in the screen lock settings is mandatory to get notifications .

Definitely confirmed. I am using magazine unlock and constantly get lock screen notifications. Also yes to media controls for casting, music play etc. Huawei should make it clear in manual that only way to get lock screen notifications it to use magazine unlock.
Now go rebuy the Mate 9. It's an excellent phone ?

Guys, sorry to rehash this issue, but has anyone figured out how to ALWAYS display the notifications in the notifications tray to the lockscreen? I bought the phone again, but I'm not seeing the notifications mirrored in the unlocked phone's notification trade... Like EVERY other Android phone. Let me explain:
I get a WhatsApp message, it will show up on the lockscreen. Say I then unlock the phone, don't do ANYTHING to the WhatsApp notification. The phone locks again and this time... No notification on the lock screen, despite me not acknowledging it!
Has anyone been able to solve for me? Perhaps a other lock screen app you use maybe?
Thank you! This phone is so perfect, the software is slightly off though, but maybe you guys have this solution! ?
Same thing here, I think all you can do is wait for an update, but don't get your hopes up ...

Thank you for the input, friend. All these updates since launch, can't believe they haven't fixed something that is native across all other Android phones... I wonder if their other phones with EMUI do the same thing? Can anyone confirm?
If there really are no other options... Can you guys recommend alternative lock screen apps you may be using? I tried Flotify, but the stupid thing didn't display the Music player or YouTube casting controls on the lockscreen and the quick reply was weak... ?
Thank you!

It displays Spotify controls anyway, although a bit too big :/
Sad thing about Floatify is that the timeout of your screen is always set to 30 seconds, regardless of what you set it to in Settings - display. Until you pay for pro... Then you can change it.
I did however notice that Spotify functions without Floatify now. I'm on c432B185. I wonder if Huawei fixed it. A lot of other notifications that wouldn't display on lockscreen before works as well.

Yes Sir - YouTube casting, TuneIn Radio also work without the Flotify lockscreen, however, other notifications I have tested, Google, WhatsApp, Textra, etc... show up once, you unlock the phone, not check the notifications, come back, and it's no longer there !
I cannot believe this does not bother anyone else, other than you and I, it seems !

Hi, is it just me or does this happen for everyone else? When my wrist is by my side, I get a notification but the screen only turns on for a fraction of a second then turns off. If my watch is in the position where I'm looking to see the time (but screen is off or timed out) the notification turns the screen on and the screen stays on. Is this a bug or a "feature"?
Thanks
my issue is the stock messages app stops sending notifications to the watch. Only a factory reset of the phone fixes the issue and I am not doing that again.

I think mine turns on for more than a fraction of a second. I can usually BRIEFLY see the message. But if I really want a view of it, I do have to make the wrist-twist effort or press the Home Button.
