I'm just confirming that there is no option or tweak to get the default mail app to display a number of unread messages. I'm often bombarded with notifications so I clear all but it would be nice to see a count of emails I have not read. I believe my old email app had this feature.
I also wish the phone did not default to the lock screen every time the screen is shut off. I know this was an option on my SG3.
Otherwise this phone is still amazing...

By default mail app do you mean the GMail or the other one labeled as "mail"? I use the Mail one for work emails and I think it tells me in the app drawer how many I have unread. Gmail tells me within the app how many I have unread.
As far as the lock screen...do you not want it lock instantly when you turn the screen off? Like say you turn off the screen and 5 seconds later you need to get in but don't wanna see the lock screen?

I believe that's a function of the launcher you use, not the mail app itself. I know Nova supports displaying unread counts as an option with an add-on.
For the lock screen, you can choose in Security Settings if you want it to go to the lock screen, or the challenge/pin/pattern screen. The option is "Bypass lock screen on wake".

Correct, the "mail" app ie Outlook or whatever you have setup. If the email is cleared out as a notification yes going into the app displays the amount of unread mail. I was wondering if something similar to the link below is possible.

I do not want it to do anything if it is within the specified time which is one hour. For example if the screen is shut off and within an hour turned back on it will simply activate the screen it was on, it will not load the lock screen. This was an option on my GS3

Confirmed this is and was checked, yet I still hit the lock screen every time the phone is woken. Perhaps a group policy bug?

Well, I know that used to work a few days ago (or at the very least it used to work to bypass the lock screen and go to the pattern screen), but it's not anymore. I even tried a couple different combinations of the "Lock screen after..." and "Bypass lock screen on wake" options, but I kept seeing the lock screen regardless of what options I had set.
However, when I had it working I was on stock, and now I'm on Skyfall, so that may have something to do with it.

I do not think my bypass has ever actually bypassed the lock screen! Can anyone confirm?

Pardon my ignorance, but I've been searching high and low for this answer. This is my first Android phone in 2 years (MyTouch 4G), and one thing that seems to be bothering me is the inability to view notifications if you setup a lock screen. I had a WP prior, and you could simply pull down your notifications tray, see a preview of a notification, touch to open, and you would be asked to enter your password to proceed.
Is there any alternative I can use, so I can see my notifications while on the lock screen? Preferably something that will turn the screen on when I get said notification.
Try "Snaplock" on the google play store

Wait for lollipop
I'm using floatify and it is a really beautiful designed app for notifications. You can choose between various styles and it shows accessible notifications on the lockscreen as well as system wide.

This app is awesome! Any chance you know how to get rid of all these "shortcut" apps? I'm kind of a minimalist.
Hey guys, I just got a Note Edge (loving it btw) and was wondering if there are any lock screen replacements with decent notification features (like Snaplock) that also allows unlocking by fingerprint? I quite like the look of the normal TouchWiz lock screen so something like the DashClock Widget would be perfect since it adds notifications by way of widgets instead of a whole lock screen replacement but I just found out that TouchWiz doesn't allow widgets on the lock screen apart from the default digital clock. Can someone offer some suggestions? Either a lock screen replacement that allows fingerprint scanning or some way to allow widgets on the lock screen after I root it. Thanks a lot!
Go setting....lock screen...under screen lock select finger print.

It's already built into the phone and works great for me. I also like how when using PayPal you can swipe your fingerprint to pay. Can't wait till you can lock different apps with the fingerprint, this would be super useful.

Sorry, maybe I didn't explain properly. I've already registered 3 fingerprints and they work quite well in the lock screen (a lot better than what I had read from some accounts prior to purchasing the phone). What I would like is to have notifications on my lock screen like what you'd get on an iPhone or through lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next Lock Screen. The problem is, when I turn on one of these lock screen replacements in the settings, I get two lock screens. First the replacement lock screen appears with all the notifications and then after unlocking that through either swiping/pattern/pin (they don't support fingerprints), I get the system lock screen which allows me to use my fingerprint. Of course, I can just turn off the system lock screen but like I said, the other lock screen replacements like Snaplock or Next don't support fingerprints.

How can u set up paypal?
With the upgrade to Lollipop, you can now get notifications to show on the lock screen (Settings > Device > Sound and Notifications). Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't allow widgets to be used on the secure (fingerprint, PIN, pass, etc.) lock screens, so I am unable to put a weather widget on my lock screen. And since I have a corporate Exchange email account set up on my phone i can't opt-out of using a secure lock screen.
Like all of the other unfortunate AT&T customers that purchased a Note Edge, I got screwed over without the ability to root my device. I would really like to set my phone up the way I want it, as it should be.
And while i'm *****ing, why can't Samsung set up one of their Edge panels (briefing maybe?) to wake the edge screen and display notifications for SMS messages? Am I missing something, or wouldn't that be an ideal function to have with the edge screen? It's nice that they will allow sms notifications on the main lock screen now via lollipop, but why not put them on the edge screen where they should be on a device such as this?
If i'm missing something and there are ways to resolve my two complains please feel free to fill me in.

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to get my phone to update to Lollipop so maybe that will solve everything. I have a factory unlocked phone bought in Australia so from what I read, the update should've rolled out ages ago but it never seems to see it. Anyways, I'm downloading the update manually now via sammobile so let's see!

Totally agree with you. Even if we don't get whole text messages scrolled across the Edge screen, at least light up a few pixels there to show us there that there are notifications waiting. I have a cover that doesn't allow me to see the notification light next to the logo but has a slit cut out for the Edge so that would be perfect.

Haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure that you will need to disable hide sensitive data on lockscreen, maybe the possibly you could do that
I can find the setting to show notifications on the lock screen but nothing to reply from lock screen.
I haven't been able to find a way either. The ADB method doesn't work as well.

I was just about to post this lol. https://www.xda-developers.com/enab...ckscreen-on-galaxy-s7-s7-edge-running-nougat/
It works by default for me as long as I expand the notification. I use Textra now, but it worked with the default app as well.
Did you have your passcode or biometrics setup? When I expand the message on the lock screen it just prompts me to enter my passcode or scan iris.
I use Textra and can reply from the "normal" lockscreen but not from the Always on Display screen. I know that I used to be able to do this on my AT&T S7 Edge but can no longer do it on AOD on my AT&T S8+.
It works out of the box lol...just expand and you'll have 3 options call-mark as read-reply....
Hi there.
I am using Honor 8 an drunninf EMUI 5 with Nougat.
On lockscreen, when the phone is idle and screen is off, and i get messages on chat apps like whats app and others, the screnn does not wake up. Can someone tell me how to turn this on.
There is the bug where there are no notifications like you say ..
If you can set it in the settings from the app you want like in the whatsapp settings
and if it then works - good... if not there is then no way to have it working..
Some of us discussed it in other thred and it is a bug
Install Screen Notifications from google play.
Or Floatify, or any other replacement "lockscreen". I use Floatify myself.
If you want to keep the stock lock screen (as 3rd party lockers tend to cause more bugs), just install Nils lock screen notifications. It overlays the notifications on the stock lock screen for the most seamless integration.
Without a 3rd party solution, this phone only allows lock screen notifications from the stock apps and some google apps.
Theres an option in the settings called "Notifications turn on screen"
Just search it in the setting's search bar and turn that option on.

Yes there is the option in settings but I think he has noticed that it does not work for all apps like most of us noticed
Thats why users recommend apps from playstore

I tried to enable from Custom restrictions "Don't turn on the screen" and "Don't wake for notifications" with no luck. Is this a bug or bad user?

Always nice to answer to your own questions . Ambient display -> disable New Notifications. Oneplus logic escapes me.
Disable notifications
Go to the Settings app on android > Sound & Notifications > Scroll Down and App Notifications under notification section > Tap on App name installed on your mobile > Turn off the notification for the app.
Hope this helps!

Thanks, but I wanted just to disable wake screen for notifications not to disable notifications. Was a little confused initially since Oneplus seems to have two settings for the same thing. Got it in the end...
I have the same problem, but your solution does not work for me. As far as I can tell I have everything in ambient display turned off, but the screen still wakes up (to the normal lock screen). To confirm: THE TOGGLE SETTING "NEW NOTIFICATIONS" IS NOT HIGHLIGHTED, WHICH MEANS IT IS OFF. HOWEVER, THE SCREEN STILL WAKES UP.
In addition to that I even have "no notifications on lock screen" selected, which means my screen WAKES UP AND SHOWS NOTHING. It's distracting and useless at the same time. Very annoying.
I have now turned on "ambient display when I pick up the phone". This finally made my screen stop lighting up by itself, though of course now it does it when I pick it up. But at least it doesn't distract me while I'm working on my pc with my phone on the table.
I like my 7 Pro very much...and since this is my 2nd phone from OnePlus, I guess I am fairly satisfied with their implementation of Android Q. However, their way of setting up notifications is one of the worst things I have ever seen! It is convoluted, confusing, and counter intuitive.... not to mention just plain ridiculous. I hope they really get on the ball with the issue of notifications and their useless Horizon light very SOON because a cell phone without proper, accurate, notifications totally defeats the purpose of having a "portable" communications device.

I am having the same issue, how did you get the screen to stop waking up?
I'm trying to find a fix for this, as well. I have an app that wakes screen besides delivering the notification with/without sound. And now I realize I have another one. I also want to have those notifications on, but without waking my screen, just like most of the other apps' notifications. And this is not related to ambient display. In my case, I have stock Android, on a Pixel 3XL.
Thanks!

Actually, there is a fix now, if you run Android 13. Under Apps->Special app access, there is a new option called 'Turn screen on'. I disallowed the annoying app and solved my issue.
I want to disable lock screen wake up for text messages and still no luck on S23. I went under special app access and disabled "Turn screen on" for the messages app (and others), and guess what? The screen still comes on when I get a text. HOLY ANNOYING.
You can turn Lock Screen Notifications completely off, but I dont want that. I want the audible notification to come in without turning the battery draining screen on, and when I tap the screen with my finger I want to see the app badge that tells me when app the notification came in on (signal, or messages, or fakebook, etc). If it's fakebook I may ignore it for example.

As I said in my post, I don't want to disable notifications, I want to disable lighting up the whole screen. The notification icon should show on the always on display without going full annoying brightness on the screen for 5 seconds. That's just dumb.

You might want to consider utilizing the Google Issue Tracker which is a tool used internally at Google to track bugs and feature requests during product development.
For Do Not Disturb - If you have the setting "Always show time and info" enabled (Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Always show time and info) your screen will display a dimly lit clock when the screen is locked, among some other status icons.
In the DND settings, if you check "Don't wake for notifications" and you get a new notification (text, ig, whatever the notification is), it will not show on the screen until you unlock the phone. It will just display that clock and you'll be unaware of the notification.
If you UNcheck "Don't wake for notifications", the lock screen with the large dimly lit clock will change to show the small icons for whatever the notification is.
If you do NOT have enabled the setting "Always show time and info" (Settings > Display > Lock Screen > Always show time and info), I imagine it would be the same behavior, except you would see a difference when you manually wake up (but don't unlock) your screen--you would either see that you got a text message or whatever the notification is, or you wouldn't until you fully unlock the screen.
